A half-truth is a lie.

A hidden truth is a lie.

A lie by omission is a lie.

There are many ways to deceive, and the Left seems to be adept at all of them. Separating lies from truth is an everyday task. Whether it’s social media, news reports, or daily interactions with the public, an intercessor must investigate, pray, and discern. Only then will he/she understand the truth.

Do you want state prayer alerts?

This week, the Left delivered all sorts of lies. Some were bold-faced, while others were hidden or omitted. Nevertheless, the truth has a way of coming out, no matter how many lies are told.

Fluoride Push-Back Goes Nationwide

The first lie told by the Left involves the recent bans on fluoride. In May, Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill, making Florida the second state to ban fluoride from its water system. The bill, which will take effect in July, is part of what some are calling a fluoride push-back revolution. In March 2025, Utah became the first state to ban fluoride in public drinking water, but currently, as many as five more states have pending anti-fluoride bills, such as Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Nebraska, and South Carolina. States such as Tennessee, Arkansas, Montana, and New Hampshire have bills that have either stalled or failed while in committee. New Jersey, Hawaii, and Oregon already have low water fluoridation rates.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is taking action to remove ingestible fluoride prescription drug products for children from the market. The press release states, “These products are swallowed and ingested by infants and toddlers. They have also never been approved by the FDA. Ingested fluoride has been shown to alter the gut microbiome, which is of magnified concern given the early development of the gut microbiome in childhood. Other studies have suggested an association between fluoride and thyroid disorders, weight gain, and possibly decreased IQ.” For background, dentists sometimes prescribe these products for children who live in fluoride-free areas.

The Left Believes Fluoride is “Safe and Effective”

The Left was quick to sow doubts about the dangers of fluoride. The New York Times ran a story headlined, The FDA Says Fluoride Pills May Harm Children’s Health. Researchers Disagree, leading readers to believe that concerns about fluoride were unfounded. The lie of omission in this article was quite apparent as the New York Times conveniently did not mention that they had already published a piece in January 2025 titled, Study Links High Fluoride Exposure to Lower IQ in Children, where they reported on a JAMA Pediatrics study that showed the link between fluoride and lower IQ rates in children.

MSNBC jumped on the fluoride-defending bandwagon by publishing an article that blamed the MAGA movement for the demonization of this once-treasured additive. They contend, “Experts, including at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and major medical associations, have touted the benefits of fluoride in water for decades, particularly in children, to help reduce cavities and prevent tooth decay. In fact, you can read this link for information about the benefits for rural communities, many of which have voted heavily for Donald Trump and other Republicans in past elections.” The article adds, “And that behavior is giving Republicans at the state level the green light to engage in similar health-related delusion.”

It’s certainly NOT a health-related delusion when one study after another has been published that points to the toxic effects that fluoride can have on children, as well as adults. Unfortunately, this appears to be more of a political issue, rather than about health.

FDA Commissioner Marty Makary states, “The best way to prevent cavities in children is by avoiding excessive sugar intake and good dental hygiene, not by altering a child’s microbiome.”

COVID-19 mRNA Shots Damage Fertility–Where is the Media Coverage?

A second lie told by the Left this week involves the COVID-19 mRNA shots. In this case, the lie is one of omission because the legacy media refuses to cover the dangers the injections can cause to women’s fertility. Instead, their newsfeeds parrot the same lie that they are “safe and effective.”

A recent study was published in the journal Vaccines which found that the Covid-19 vaccines “decreased the number of primordial follicles–‘the foundation of fertility’–in female rats by up to 60%.” The authors of the study suggested “further investigations into the vaccines’ effects on human ovarian reserve.”

Epidemiologist Nicolas Hulscher warned, “If these findings indeed apply to humans, the implications for global fertility rates are profound,” adding, “This kind of damage—to a woman’s lifelong egg supply—is biologically irreversible. The loss of primordial follicles is permanent—they do not regenerate. If this applies to humans, it means early menopause, infertility, and plummeting birth rates.”

For several years, gynecologists and obstetricians such as Dr. James Thorp have been gathering data from around the world that illustrate the devastating effects of COVID-19 vaccination on pregnant women and their babies, as well as the harms the shots cause to fertility. Despite the mountains of evidence that Dr. Thorp and others have shared, the legacy media refuse to report the information accurately.

Medical freedom advocate Dr. Naomi Wolf has worked tirelessly to document the plethora of studies that prove that the COVID-19 shots can impair fertility. Her comprehensive book, The Pfizer Papers: Pfizer’s Crimes Against Humanity, is loaded with scientific data and medical investigations.

When studies are released that reveal the dangers of the COVID-19 vaccines, the liberal media do not update articles or write new ones to inform the public. Instead, it’s as if a truckload of crickets descended upon the newsfeeds. Regardless of the evidence, liberal news agencies will continue promoting COVID-19 vaccines or lament that more rigorous testing must be completed to approve new ones.

Unfortunately, the Left is not interested in the truth. They prefer to hide the inconvenient facts from public view so they can push the same narrative.

Hunger Strikes for Gaza

The third lie told by the Left this week revolves around hunger strikes that are taking place at UCLA and other universities such as Stanford and Yale. Students are protesting what they call “the university’s complicity in the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza.” Yahoo News reports, “At the core of their demands is a call for schools like UCLA to cut financial ties with companies and institutions that support or profit from Israel’s ongoing blockade and military operations.”

One student named Maya Ayooni Abdullah was hospitalized on day nine of her hunger strike at UCLA. On her Instagram, she refers to May 14, 1948 (Israel’s Independence Day) as the “Nakba” or “catastrophe,” where Palestinians were kicked out of their homes by “Israeli colonizers,” whom she considers violent occupiers. She demands that UCLA divest from all of its links to Israel and fully support pro-Palestine protests on campus. Referring to the hunger strikes, Maya’s friend has stated, “This is what happens when UCLA ignores their students. This is on you, UCLA.”

Feeding the Lies

Instead of telling the truth about what’s really happening in Israel, the Left fuels the fire, suggesting that Palestinians are being mistreated and deliberately starved. The horrifying reality of what happened on October 7, 2023, where innocent people in Israel were butchered, raped, tortured and kidnapped is glossed over. Instead, sympathy is garnered for terrorists and their advocates.

Purposefully Omitted

The Left never covers the reports about Hamas stealing aid packages meant for the people of Gaza. When Palestinians are used as human shields for terrorists, it is brushed aside. Even though Israel does everything in its power to evacuate Gaza residents from dangerous war zones, the Left continues to push the narrative that Israel is guilty of genocide.

Sadly, many protesters are uninformed and simply listening to their leftist professors or the latest liberal newsfeed. These students can continue to go on hunger strikes, but what they really need is to be fed the truth. No, Israel isn’t perfect, but the Left likens the nation’s citizens to Nazis who murdered Jews during the Holocaust.

The Left continues to hide the truth that Hamas and Islamic ideology are the real reasons why the Palestinians are suffering. A hunger strike cannot reveal or solve this problem.

Propagating lies, hiding the facts, or omitting the truth never leads to anything good or fruitful. Every time we read or hear a lie, we should be quick to pray that the truth will be revealed and that those who are part of the deception will be enlightened by The Way, the Truth, and the Life–Jesus Christ.

Lord, you are the ultimate truth-teller. As your disciples, help us live our lives the same way You do. May the truth shine through us like a beacon, blocking out the darkness that comes with deception.

These are just a few of the lies that the Left told this week. How are you praying for truth to be revealed?
