You are being lied to

Reject the rhetoric: There is no Muslim ban!

Let’s start with what President Trump actually said about banning people from seven countries known to have identifiable ties to radical Islamic terrorists: “To be clear, this is not a Muslim ban, as the media is falsely reporting. This is not about religion — this is about terror and keeping our country safe. There are over 40 different countries worldwide that are majority Muslim that are not affected by this order.”

He reiterated that the country would resume issuing visas to all countries “once we are sure we have reviewed and implemented the most secure policies over the next 90 days.” This is not the impression one would get from the ensuing demonstrations and media stories generated in a matter of days. As I wrote earlier, the media are doubling down on their attempts to create false and mass hysteria about anything and everything President Trump does, says or even insinuates. The liberal media and Democrats totally overlook the part about illegal. They want people to believe it’s against a religion. No it’s not! Here’s how Martha Raddatz posed a question to a Trump official on Sunday morning. “Why should Christians get preferential treatment entering this country?” Earth to Martha and all liberals who think that way: No Christians have chopped of people’s heads and driven into defenseless tourist areas, or killed innocent people in a shopping center, or blown up people running in a marathon to raise money for someone in need!

That kind of leading question and rhetoric causes the gullible to morph into a state of fear and outrage against a new administration trying to protect us. I can remember my grandmother sifting ground flour to make sure there are no lumps in the flour. Usually, there were some lumps. The Trump administration is trying to make sure no illegal (radical Islamic terrorist) lumps get through the system. But that’s not the narrative you hear from the liberal media. They have doubled down on irrational reporting and fear with the help of paid protesters. But it’s not going to work. As I said earlier, move on, snowflakes. The rest of America already has. Most of us are rejecting the rhetoric.
