5 times Democrats have been caught in a lie

Lies and deceit: this is how the Democrats stay in power.

Year after year, Democrats and their media mouthpieces have spewed propaganda that is clearly false—it seems unfathomable that anyone could believe it. For years Glenn has exposed their lies, from surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic power grab to blatant falsehoods about President Trump, and we are bound to hear even more fallacious propaganda during tonight's kickoff of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Here are recent lies the Democrats and the mainstream media have been spewing so you won't be fooled:

Lie #1: Biden isn't senile

For years, conservatives watched Biden fumble, stumble, and mumble his way through the presidency, and for years, conservatives were called conspiracy theorists for noticing the blatantly obvious. Just before Biden's embarrassing performance in the June 2024 Presidential debate, claims relating to Biden's cognitive decline were written off as Republican "cheap fakes," and the American people were assured that their president was as sharp as ever. Time and time again, Democrats and the left-wing media covered for Biden by blatantly lying to the American people.

Lie #2: Trump was hit by glass

Nothing is sacred to the Left. Instead of rallying together as Americans after Former President Trump was nearly assassinated, many on the Left quickly started trying to find ways to downplay the event. A popular rumor that gained traction was that Trump's ear wasn't grazed by a bullet at all, but rather a shard of glass from a teleprompter. That theory was even echoed by echoed by FBI Director Christopher Wray. This baseless claim was parroted by many Leftists online, including co-host of The View, Joy Reid. The FBI has since walked this claim back and has confirmed that it was, in fact, a bullet.

Lie #3: You voted/donated to Joe Biden

After the mask slipped and millions of Americans realized that Biden was just as incompetent as conservatives knew him to be, the Democrats had to come up with a presidential candidate fast. So they kicked Biden out of his campaign and dropped Kamala into his place. Suddenly, America had a presidential candidate who hadn't won a single vote and was funded by donations addressed to a different candidate. On top of that, Kamala was never popular, neither during her 2020 presidential campaign nor as VP. But when she was needed the Left decided she needed to be popular. Kamala's campaign is built on nothing but lies.

Lie #4: Tim Walz served honorably

If you need more evidence that Kamala's campaign is built on lies, look no further than her choice of VP, Governor Tim Walz. If we excuse his radical progressive policies during his tenure as Minnesota's governor, Walz still has a glaring mark on his record—his resignation from the National Guard. Walz served in the Minnesota Army National Guard for approximately 20 years and resigned as soon as he learned that his unit was getting deployed to Iraq. The National Guard records show that Walz snuck out of the National Guard without completing the required paperwork with his retirement filing, showing, “Soldier not available for signature.” Walz was a key leader in his battalion and abandoned his fellow soldiers right when he was needed most. Yet Kamala still touts his "service" as a boon.

Lie #5: Kamala can fix the country

Kamala has already started making all sorts of campaign promises. From the border to the economy, the Harris-Walz ticket is being sold like a miracle cure-all, which raises an important question: if Kamala can fix all our problems, why hasn't she? She's been the Vice President for four years now—she's had the opportunity. The best Kamala can offer is more of the same that the Biden administration has delivered—or lack thereof. This is why Glenn says that if we lose this election, we lose the country. America cannot withstand four more years of radical progressive policy.

Democrats are gaslighting Americans about Springfield, Ohio's cat BBQs

JEFF KOWALSKY / Contributor, Christopher Furlong / Staff | Getty Images

The Left has smeared President Donald Trump repeatedly over the last several weeks over the claim that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio are eating pets. The mainstream media has once again cast Trump as a liar and racist, claiming that his cat-eating rumors are entirely baseless. The Left's spin on the ordeal is that Trump is dredging up century-old anti-immigrant slander, comparing it to the anti-Italian and anti-Chinese rhetoric of the 19th century.

The scary thing is, for many Americans, these allegedly "baseless" claims aren't rumors at all: they're a daily reality. The mainstream media and political establishment never seem to see the desperate pleas made by Springfield residents who are watching as their town is overrun by people who do not know or care about their laws, customs, or culture.


They are watching in horror as their slice of quiet, small-town America is destroyed, and what do the Left and our "wonderful" Vice President do? They dismiss their claims as "conspiracy theories."

A grain of truth under a mountain of lies

There is a tiny grain of truth behind the Left's propaganda, which makes it all the more insidious. Springfield law enforcement and the mayor indeed have denied that cat-eating or duck-beheading is happening. That's not to say it isn'thappening. There is good evidence that is happening.

The notion that Trump's claim was "unfounded" is undeniably false. Not only do we have the testimony of the people of Springfield, but we also have well-documented cases such as this one (viewer discretion advised):

Christopher F. Rufo @realchrisrufo

This video, which was recently reported on by journalist Chris Rufo, depicts migrants in Dayton, Ohio (only about half an hour away from Springfield) grilling cats on their back patio. While this may not prove that Haitian migrants are killing and eating specifically pet cats and dogs it certainly corroborates the people of Springfield's claim that cats are being eaten.

The Left is gaslighting Americans —again

The repeated claim coming from the mainstream media that Trump's claim is somehow "unfounded" is a distortion of reality that millions of Americans are taking as unquestionable truth. These people are being gaslighted, and it's the same old story we've seen time and time again: "The vaccine is safe and effective," "The economy is doing great," "Biden is mentally fit," "January 6th was the most dangerous day in American history," and now, "No one is eating cats."

How Anti-Trump Media Rhetoric to Blame for New Assassination Attempt

Spencer Platt / Staff, - / Contributor | Getty Images

Ryan Routh was the second person to be tipped over the edge by the corporate media’s propaganda, convinced that he would be saving democracy by taking out Trump.

We are just about 50 days away from the presidential election. Can we take the next seven weeks and try to refrain from assassinating Donald Trump? If you were wondering if we are living in a banana republic, rest assured: We are officially here.

Here is what reportedly happened during the second assassination attempt against Trump in Florida on Sunday. Early reports said that police recovered an AK-47 from the bushes outside the golf course where the president was golfing, as well as a GoPro recording device attached to the fence pointed out at the putting green. Why would you have a GoPro recording device unless you were planning on recording the assassination attempt so that your deeds would live forever?

If this doesn’t reveal the dangerous game our political elites are playing, I don’t know what will.

Is anything else recorded on that GoPro? Did the would-be assassin make a statement? Why would you record your deeds without recording a message for all to hear? I would like to know what was on the GoPro, if anything, because this guy obviously had an agenda.

A Secret Service agent was eagle-eyed enough to spot the barrel of a gun poking out from the bushes in the perimeter of the golf course. The suspected gunman was later identified as Ryan Wesley Routh. He had taken two backpacks and tied them to the fence on each side of where he would have been sitting. The barrel of the gun would have been right between them.

The media merely reported that he had ceramic tiles in his backpack and didn’t go into further detail. Perhaps they didn’t want to report on the fact that ceramic tile is what you put inside a bulletproof vest if you are expecting a chest shot. A bulletproof vest will not stop a high-powered rifle. However, ceramic tile will. That’s why he put ceramic tile in his backpacks, right where he would have been crouched with the gun. He was expecting a shoot-out.

How did the Secret Service agent see the gun? I don’t know, but I want to take it at face value and believe he was doing his job. The reason I say this is that I was with Trump on Saturday, and I posted on X that this was the very first time in 15 years that I have seen the Secret Service actually do its job. I've been railing about this for 15 years, and Saturday was the first time I thought the Secret Service was taking it seriously. There was no way you were getting into the event unless you were an invited guest, and there was absolutely no way you were getting close to the president unless you were supposed to.

So what happened?

I want to believe that the Secret Service was doing its job. The agent was allegedly scoping the perimeter a hole or two ahead of Trump when he noticed the gun barrel poking out of the bushes. The agent fired on Routh. Routh reportedly fled rather than return fire. He did not get a shot off at the president.

Somebody saw Routh run from the bushes and get into his car and had the wherewithal to write down the plate number and remember the car’s make and model. The witness called police immediately and relayed this information, and law enforcement captured Routh quickly.

Who exactly is Trump’s second wannabe assassin, Ryan Routh? His son, Oran, said his father hates Donald Trump as “every reasonable person does.” It’s quite telling that this comment was his immediate response after hearing that his father tried to kill the president. Yet Oran insisted his dad was a hardworking, decent, nonviolent person and that he’s never known him to own a gun.

Well, I don't think you know your dad, Oran, but you might be interested to know that in 2002, Ryan Routh barricaded himself into his office with a fully automatic machine gun and had a three-hour standoff with police. The FBI said Routh was in possession of "a weapon of mass destruction.” He went to jail — not prison. If you're caught with an automatic weapon without the proper permits, you would typically be sentenced to between 10 and 20 years in prison. Why was his sentence so short, and why didn’t he even go to prison?

His son also said his dad is a peaceful person. Did he know that he flew to Ukraine to recruit Afghan soldiers to join the Ukrainian war effort?

After he learned of his dad’s attempt on Trump’s life, Oran offered a revealing comment:

I hate this game every four years, and think that we all do, and if my father wants to be a martyr to how broken and disassociated the process has become from the real problems and practical solutions, then that’s his choice.

He went on:

"South Park" said it best. Every four years, we’re forced to choose between a turd sandwich and a giant douche, and it all stays f***ed in the same ways by different degrees, and we’re exhausted and embarrassed by it all.

So the ends justifies the means? That’s what I’m hearing here.

The media has been peddling this dangerous rhetoric depicting Trump as a dictator and an imminent threat to democracy. Ryan Routh was the second person to be tipped over the edge by this propaganda, convinced that he would be saving democracy by taking out Trump. His own son’s visceral reaction to hearing the news about his father was one of justification and understanding rather than outright condemnation. If this doesn’t reveal the dangerous game our political elites are playing, I don’t know what will.

Who is Ryan Wesley Routh, Trump's second would-be Assassin?

- / Contributor | Getty Images

For the second time in two months, Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt.

Fortunately, this time the former president walked away from the incident unharmed, as did everyone else involved. Is anyone surprised that as the election cycle heats up and Democrats and the mainstream media have increased their false and hateful rhetoric against Trump, another assassination attempt should be made against him?

The second would-be assassin, Ryan Wesley Routh, was allegedly deeply affected by the rhetoric and propaganda regurgitated by the media and evidently decided to take matters into his own hands. Delving into the turbulent past of Ryan Routh reveals a violent and unstable man with many radical beliefs and an impressionable mind. How Routh apparently managed to avoid any FBI/terrorist watchlists is just one of the mysteries surrounding the second attempted assassination of President Trump.

Here's what we know about Ryan Wesley Routh so far:

The assassination attempt

At approximately 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, September, 15th, the Secret Service opened fire on a concealed gunman who was hidden in some bushes along the perimeter of Trump’s golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida. The gunman was in a makeshift sniper's nest on the outside of the perimeter chain-link fence only a couple hundred yards from where Trump was golfing. He had been camping there for over 12 hours. After being fired on, the gunman ran back to his car and was quickly apprehended by the police, where he was identified as Ryan Wesley Routh.

After Routh's arrest, investigators discovered the sniper's nest built within the perimeter fence. Routh had hung two backpacks with bullet-proof ceramic plates inside on the fence with a narrow gap between them for his rifle to poke through. It is clear that Routh had come prepared for a shoot-out and had possibly taken notes from the last would-be Trump assassin, who was taken out by counter-snipers before he could finish his task.

His background

Routh is a long-time supporter of the Democrat party and a vehement Trump hater. He has written a multitude of deranged social media posts that express his loathing of the Republican nominee and parrot the rhetoric spewed by the mainstream media. Last year, Routh wrote a book urging Iran to assassinate President Trump for the "tremendous blunder” of leaving the Iran nuclear deal.

Routh is an outspoken advocate for the Ukrainian cause, and many of his social media posts are centered around this interest. He even made a trip to Ukraine with the bizarre mission of recruiting former Afghanistan troopers to fight for the Ukrainian cause. He returned home after six months without accomplishing his goal.

Shortly after the shoot-out, Ryan Routh's son, Oran Routh,, gave some personal information about his father. He claimed that he had no prior knowledge of the planned assassination attempt, and in fact, he had grown distant from his father after a falling-out. Oran did admit to sharing his father's "reasonable" hatred of Trump and claimed that his father was a peaceful, hard-working man. He also claimed that, as far as he knew, his father had only a few speeding tickets on his criminal record and had never even owned a firearm. This claim was quite contrary to reality.

Ryan Wesley Routh has quite the criminal record, which culminated in an arrest in 2002 when he fled the police during a traffic stop and barricaded himself in his roofing business with a machine gun. Routh was later convicted of possessing a weapon of mass destruction, but managed to dodge the 20-plus years in prison typically associated with charges of that nature.

His goals

While Routh's exact motives are still unknown, we can infer some things from his background.

It is clear that Routh has an extreme hatred of President Trump that has been brewing for many years, as expressed by his social media posts and deranged book. Routh is also not immune to extreme ideologies, as demonstrated by his strange Ukrainian escapade, and he is clearly no stranger to violence, as evidenced by his criminal record.

There is also the matter of his weapon of mass destruction conviction, along with many other crimes. How did he manage to avoid the lengthy prison sentence typical of convictions of such magnitude?

One thing is clear: Routh is clearly a disturbed individual who has been exposed to the onslaught of anti-Trump propaganda that has portrayed him as an embodiment of evil and an existential threat to the country and the world.


Presidential debate recap: The good, the bad and the ugly

Bloomberg / Contributor | Getty Images

The second presidential debate was many things--some good, some bad, but one thing was made clear: this election is far from over.

If you were watching the debate with Glenn during the BlazeTV exclusive debate coverage, then you already know how the debate went: Kamala lied through her teeth and Trump faced a three-pronged attack from Harris and the two ABC moderators. This was not the debate performance we were hoping for, but it could have gone far worse. If you didn't get the chance to watch the debate or can't bring yourself to watch it again and are looking for a recap, we got you covered. Here are the good, the bad, and the ugly from the second presidential debate:

The Good

Bloomberg / Contributor | Getty Images

Let's start with what went well.

While there was certainly room for improvement, Trump's performance wasn't terrible, especially compared to his performance in other debates. He showed restraint, kept himself from being too brash, and maintained the name-calling to a minimum. In comparison, Kamala Harris was struggling to maintain her composure. Harris was visibly emotional and continued to make obnoxious facial expressions, which included several infuriating eye-rolls and patronizing smirks.

The Bad

Bloomberg / Contributor | Getty Images

Despite all that, the debate could have gone much better...

While Trump was able to keep his cool during the debate, he was not able to stay on track. Kamala kept making inflammatory comments meant to derail Trump, and every time, he took the bait. Trump spent far too long defending his career and other extraneous issues instead of discussing issues relevant to the American people and revealing Kamala's failures as Vice President.

Trump's biggest blunder during the debate was his failure to prevent Kamala from leaving that debate looking like a credible option as president. Kamala was fairly unknown to the American people and had remained that way on purpose, giving only one interview after Biden stepped down from the campaign. This is because every time Kamala opens her mouth, she typically makes a fool of herself. Trump needed to give Kamala more time to stick her foot in her mouth and to press Kamala on the Biden administration's failures over the past four years. Instead, he took her bait and let her run down the clock, and by the end of the debate, she left looking far more competent than she actually is.

The Ugly

If anything, the debate reminded us that this election is far from over, and it's more important now than ever for Trump to win.

The most noteworthy occurrence of the debate was the blatantly obvious bias of the ABC debate moderators against Trump. Many people have described the debate as a "three vs. one dogpile," with the moderators actively participating in debating Trump. If you didn't believe that the media was in the back pocket of the Democrats before, it's hard to deny it now. Kamala stood on stage and lied repeatedly with impunity knowing that the moderators and the mainstream media at large would cover for her.

The stakes have never been higher. With so many forces arrayed against Trump, it's clear to see that the Left cannot afford to let Trump win this November. The shape of America as we know it is on the line. Kamala represents the final push by the globalist movement to take root and assimilate America into the growing global hivemind.

The election is far from over. This is our sign to stand up and fight for our nation and our values and save America.
