Those darn facts get in the way again. Latest dishonest FOX reporting so egregious even they had to acknowledge it.
Yahoo News Canada — Fox News walked back a report on “an attempted terrorist attack” in the Niagara Falls vehicle explosion, a deadly crash where officials said there was “no indication” of terrorism near the U.S.-Canada border.
“What I’ve been told is that this was an attempted terrorist attack,” Fox News correspondent Alexis McAdams reported on Wednesday at 2pm ET. Sources “believe the two people in that car who are now both dead after that large explosion there have packed that car full of explosives.” Until the retraction much later the provocative chyron at the bottom of the FOX screen claimed “Explosion An Attempted Terror Attack” (Mediaite)
I watched the original coverage because as I flipped channels I saw FOX was the only one reporting this. They quickly teed up a narrative that this was Biden’s fault by allowing open borders to terrorists — and their contributors went berserk, assuming it as fact, which is the usual pattern for trashing Biden: “report” something thinly sourced, followed by outraged commentators who present it without equivocation.
It was disgraceful, even for FOX, to spread something so sinister. This wasn’t a mistake, this was another deliberate provocation of their gullible audience for profit.
It worked. Biden-hating provocateurs such as Kari Lake picked up the ball and ran with it long after the FOX “retraction’…

Trump: Obama is the real president and Israelis “died because of Biden”
In this bonkers interview on NewsMax with host Wayne Allyn Root, Trump was asked if he “agrees with my belief” that Obama is the “real president” for “the brain-dead” Joe Biden. Trump: You could be right. I don’t think it’s Biden.”
Trump blamed Biden for the Hamas terror attack in Israel. “He started it. He got it going. He gave Iran the money. Now I guess politically Biden has to say positive things about Israel. All these people died because of Biden…because of his weakness.”
another ad for Biden could be about him being the pause that refreshes.
a bit of the coca cola ad’s history
from The History Of ‘the Pause That Refreshes’ Campaign (historyoasis.com)
compared to the alternative, Joe is surely the “embodiment of solace” and “a symbol of respite and hope” and a relief from the chaos and cacophony of the loser guy and the magaTs.
1953 ad for those old enough to remember
I remember a lot of stuff from 53. RIP Hank sr; President Ike; Topper; Friday night fights; Why did Truman shoot his dog? Because he stepped on the dog’s tale and the dog said “Ike”. Hurricane Hazel ‘54; Eddie LeBaron; Sammy Baugh ‘52; Gleason; Big John and Little Sparky;
Another uplifting holiday message from Pumpkin Head
1953 – I turned two 8 days before it was over. Can’t say I remember a thing about it.
Fox…SSDD. And of course Kari Lake picked up the lie and ran with it. She’s nothing more or less than a photogenic pumpkin head wannabe. Please tell me she’s not a mother.
I gave thanks yesterday that I still had sufficient nascent carpentry skills to get the trim cut for the powder room and that Mrs. P outdid herself on the stuffing (which was always dressing in our house) and pumpkin pie 🥧 😁
And Dumbass’ thanksgiving wishes- who would expect anything else? Can’t wait to see how he tops that in a month when he issues his Christmas wishes.

…my first Thanksgiving in the Midwest i was asked if i wanted dressing with my turkey and thought, “wow, they really do put ranch on everything, here” 🧐
bink, in addition to the pause effort don’t forget that Biden has been advocating a pro-Palestine 2 state solution for a lot longer time than most of the pro-Palestinian protestors have been alive.
in re stuffing vs dressing: it’s both by my recipe which is built on the normal cornbread based stuffing
dressed up with the addition of onions, celery, carrots, mushrooms and pecans (AKA a fancied up mirepoix, better known by chefs as the “holy trinity”).
For twenty-plus years (since 9/11) it has occurred to me that Fox employs a staff of trained-psychologists whose task is not to heal but to exploit and exacerbate mental illness.

Stuffing – Dressing – no controversy. This year the bird had a bread sausage stuffing. My ex made her wonderful dressing, which was baked during the last hour before serving. My desire for oyster dressing, I brought about four dozen oysters for snacking on and making the dressing, was shot down. At least I had oysters. While eating we did remanence about our grandfather making the oyster dressing way back when.
Here is a Trump rally goer saying Mike Lindell is JFK Jr. (btw, the Hillary reference refers to their belief that she had JFK Jr. killed because he was going to run against her for Senate)..

Dear Lord, save us.
Mushrooms- good substitute for sausage (which we didn’t have in the fridge so we just went without it – didn’t matti – it was wonderful). Tonight – day after casserole. Looking forward to it – comfort food on steroids.
Band was awesome.
