“In the end, the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it.” This quote, plucked from the pages of George Orwell’s 1984, is an apt description of how the Left attempts to paint blatant falsehoods as truth. By repeating lies over and over, they hope to change the facts.

Pray for your fellow intercessor.

The first lie told by the Left this week seemed to echo the eerie theme of 1984 because it deals with the election of a man deemed too extreme for his own party. Self-declared socialist Zohran Mamdani recently won the New York City Democratic mayoral primary, beating out former Governor Andrew Cuomo.

Some Democrats are Sounding the Alarm

New York Representative and fellow Democrat Laura Gillen warned, “Socialist Zohran Mamdani is too extreme to lead New York City. His entire campaign has been built on unachievable promises and higher taxes… Beyond that, Mr. Mamdani has called to defund the police and has demonstrated a deeply disturbing pattern of unacceptable antisemitic comments, which stoke hate at a time when antisemitism is skyrocketing. He is the absolute wrong choice for New York.”

Democrat Representative Tom Suozzi of New York reiterated Gillen’s comments by saying, “I had serious concerns about Assemblyman Mamdani before yesterday, and that is one of the reasons I endorsed his opponent. Those concerns remain.”

The far left MSNBC sees Mamdani as a candidate with “natural gifts” who is “manifesting something new.” They point to “the shadow of President Donald Trump,” which has “darkened” the nation’s politics and led to this moment in history.

President Donald Trump responded to Mamdani’s victory in the mayoral primary by declaring, “Democrats have crossed the line by elevating a 100% Communist Lunatic. We’ve had Radical Lefties before, but this is getting a little ridiculous.”

Left-leaning Minority Leader Chuck Schumer stated, “He ran an impressive campaign that connected with New Yorkers about affordability, fairness, and opportunity.”

An Extreme Utopia

Mamdani’s radical visions for change are far from impressive. His platform hinged on “Trump-proofing New York City” and “fighting the oligarchy.” Lofty ideas floated by the adamant socialist include city-owned grocery stores that will pay no rent or property taxes, free bus services, rent freezes, universal free childcare for children aged six weeks to five years, and expanded funding for hate violence prevention programs. All of this will be paid for through exorbitant taxes.

If that weren’t enough, Mamdani vowed to kick Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) out of city facilities and end all cooperation with the agency. In his wayward socialist paradise, the police will be replaced by social workers, and New York City will become an “LGBTQ sanctuary city” where “reproductive rights” are sacred.

Super leftist allies Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez call Mamdani the future of the party, but his own home state newspaper, the New York Post, labels him as a “menace” who is the “worst of the worst.”

The extreme Left wants Americans to believe that socialists like Zohran Mamdani are the way forward when the truth is that their plans are designed to take the country down like the Titanic. Their empty promises are built on a mountain of lies that will destroy anyone who puts faith in their schemes.

Open Borders and Trafficked Children

The second lie told by the Left this week is an egregious one that involves thousands of missing children who were trafficked and abused at the hands of pedophiles. Border Czar Tom Homan revealed that these children disappeared after being smuggled across the US-Mexico border, courtesy of the lawless Biden Administration. Furthermore, ICE agents “located minors who were forced into servitude on ranches and chicken farms.”

Homan stated, “There were 300,000 missing children under the last administration. We’ve found thousands of them…We rescued victims of sex trafficking and two weeks ago, we rescued a 14-year-old that was already pregnant, living with adult men…we rescued some victims of forced labor…not going to school, but enslaved labor in the United States of America.”

As these revelations are brought to light, the Left doesn’t change its position on enforcing immigration laws. Instead, liberal leaders such as California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass double down on their criticism of ICE raids. It doesn’t matter if arrests include violent gang members or those who have committed crimes against children.

Protests instead of Protection

The Left continues to rally for protests and riots across the country in response to what they call a breakdown of democracy. Instead of addressing critical issues such as the trafficking of innocent children and unhinged violent crime, they are busy planning their next protests. Follow-up “No Kings” events and parades are being held on July 4, where activists will “speak up for the rights of all, from immigrants to everyday Americans.”

Other leftist plans include leadership training and consumer boycotts. A national protest called Good Trouble Lives On is scheduled for July 17, 2025, and aims to “redeem the soul of America.” Additionally, the radical leftist group Indivisible has organized a movement called One Million Rising in order to “train one million people” to become “pro-democracy” movement leaders.

A Politically Charged Agenda

Border Czar Tom Homan has received a barrage of death threats, but nonetheless, he is moving forward with the Trump Administration’s plans to secure the border and enforce immigration policies. He cites political power as the reason why the previous administration purposefully allowed thousands of immigrants to stream into the country daily. Many of these undocumented illegals would become future Democratic voters.

The Left claims they want to protect the most vulnerable people in America, but they fail to acknowledge that weak immigration laws and a porous border are what allow the most vulnerable to be abused. They have placed their political goals above the protection of innocent children and youth. Their so-called idea of democracy is nothing more than a flagrant lie.

Leftist Reporters and Fake News

The third lie told by the Left this week involves a far-left journalist who claimed that the United States did not obliterate Iran’s nuclear facilities. Relying on a leaked report from the Defense Intelligence Agency, CNN’s Natasha Bertrand reported that the bombings only set back Iran’s nuclear program by a few months.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt set the record straight by saying that Bertrand should “be ashamed of herself, and that’s not what reporting is. Journalism is trying to find the facts and the truth, and this week, we saw this same reporter being used to push a fake narrative to try to undermine the president of the United States, and, more importantly, the brave fighter pilots who conducted one of the most successful operations in United States history. And I think the American people fully know that this operation was a complete and total success.”

Leavitt added critical details, explaining that “In 2020 it was Natasha Bertrand who had 51 intelligence analysts falsely lie to her, but she still put it on paper for some reason, that the Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian disinformation. We all know that’s not true, right?…Also, in 2020, this same reporter, Natasha Bertrand wrote that a top intel agency ruled out the man-made lab leak theory of the coronavirus origins. Again, the President was right about that. This reporter wrote a lie from the intelligence community to seek a narrative she wanted to prove. And guess what? We now know that’s the truth.”

Without missing a beat, Leavitt left no stone unturned. She declared, “Also, in 2024, Bertrand pushed the suckers and losers hoax. She also pushed the fine people hoax, which was taking the President’s words purposely out of context. And then last October, and I believe this is notable, Natasha Bertrand published an article in Politico from the intelligence agency. She said that John Ratcliffe was speaking without any evidence when he said Iran was attempting to undermine President Trump’s presidential campaign. And then we, of course, found out that was absolutely true.”

Regardless of the facts, CNN said it stands “100 percent” behind Bertrand’s reporting. Leftist CNN anchor Jake Tapper complains, “President Trump and his administration are going after shooting the messengers in an increasingly ugly way.”

The truth is that the Left should be ashamed when they lie. Journalism’s number one goal must be truth. The Left’s tactics have been exposed one too many times and now people are deciding to tune them out.

Lord Jesus, the lies get bigger by the day, but Your truth is always greater. Help us hear the voice of the Holy Spirit loud and clear, especially when we are surrounded by overwhelming deception. We trust You to guide us with wisdom and authority.

These are just a few of the lies told by the Left this week. How are you praying about them?
