Folks, listen to me well. I don’t know how else to say this except to say it plainly. You may think this is just partisan rhetoric—an attempt to make the other side look bad—but I assure you, that’s not what this is about. This is about driving a point home, again and again, until it registers. You cannot afford to miss this. It’s that important.

So here it is, one more time. Are you ready? Truth is not a left-wing value.

Now, I’m not saying the left lies. Telling lies is a human flaw. People from every ideology lie. That’s human nature. What I am saying—just in case you missed it the first thousand times—is that truth is not a cherished principle of the left. In fact, it’s often a hindrance to their agenda. Truth offends them. And when it doesn’t align with their messaging, they treat it like a medieval townsperson treated the Black Death in the 14th century—slam the shutters, light a candle, and pray it goes away before it infects the whole narrative.

Let me be clear: my claim isn’t emotional. It’s not driven by hate. I’m not trying to smear anyone. This isn’t me doing what the left does—pulling accusations out of thin air and branding their opponents as threats to democracy, misogynists, xenophobes, and so on. (Which, by the way, is part of their strategy: weaponizing lies).

No, this is based on hard, undeniable evidence. Case in point: the Government shutdown. For the past 40 days, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives has passed a continuing resolution to keep the government open. In the Senate, every Republican except one has voted to pass it. If only a simple majority were needed, the bill would’ve passed. But because it requires 60 votes, at least eight Democrats needed to join the Republicans.

Fourteen times, Senate Republicans voted yes. Fourteen times, Senate Democrats voted no—except for three of their members. So despite the House passing the bill and the Senate having over 52 Senators voting yes, the government remains shut down because Democrats refused to cross the aisle.

And yet, both leaders of the Democrat minority have the audacity to insist this is a Republican shutdown. Do you understand the kind of cajones it takes to sell a lie like that? But because truth matters so little to them, they gave it their all. They went after it with gusto. Even after being confronted by many of their allies in the legacy media, they clung tighter to the lie—trying to convince everyone that despite using the filibuster to block the vote, it’s still somehow the Republicans’ fault.

My friends, that takes nerve. That requires a kind of flagrant, in your face bravado that is theatrical in its dishonesty. The kind that looks you dead in the eye, spits out the lie, and dares you to flinch. But we’ve seen this allegiance to lies before, haven’t we?

Most recently, in the death of Charlie Kirk (not to go off script to much, just to make the point with something that is still relatively fresh). To justify their lack of humanity, to give cover to their indecency and moral vacancy, they lied—twisting his words, trying to distort his legacy, and slandering his character. Not because they believed what they were saying, about him, but because the truth didn’t serve their narrative. So they just lied. And that’s the point. Lies aren’t just a flaw that surfaces from time to time. For the left, they are a tool. A strategy. A way of life.

Don’t ever forget that—or you do it at your own peril.
