Three Things the Left Lied About—August 16, 2025
Proverbs 19:5 says that a false witness will not go unpunished, and he who breathes out lies will not escape. Many on the Left believe that deceiving others bears no heavenly consequence. But God Almighty is fully aware of every single lie and will act accordingly. It is God’s will for deception to be exposed so the truth can be revealed.

The first lie told by the Left this week comes from the mouths of the Democratic Socialists of America. At their recent convention in Chicago, they claimed, “We’re in charge now,” insisting that Zohran Mamdani’s recent nomination wasn’t an “anomaly,” but rather “the start of the DSA’s rise to power.” Convention participants held up signs that read, “Socialism beats Fascism,” while others wore masks as they mingled among the crowd.
Palestine, Freebies, and “Saving Democracy”
During a speech, an overzealous delegate from Atlanta declared, “We need to run campaigns that win. Campaigns like Zohran Mamdani, which put forward a bold vision of a socialist society. Zohran shows that Palestine is a winning issue. That socialism is a winning issue. The time for protest campaigns and messaging is over. The time for winning is now. We can win the Democratic primary in 2028. There are polls now that show that a majority of the Democratic primary electorate supports Palestine and would want a Democratic socialist to win the presidential primary in 2028.”
Congresswoman and socialism sympathizer Rashida Tlaib delivered the keynote speech address on Friday, where she “denounced her congressional colleagues who support Israel as a Jewish state.”
During a panel discussion, DSA organizer Daniel Goulden proudly stated, “With Zohran, we’re in basically the best possible position to seize state power that we could be in…we wrote the platform with him…Zohran is literally attempting to do what conservatives say we want to do, which is provide gender affirming care to anyone who wants it for free. We’re gonna fly people in and pay for their hotel rooms.”
Down with the Nuclear Family
The lies continued as the DSA declared the nuclear family is “an inherently repressive, racist, hetero-sexist institution that functionally reinforces and produces capitalism.” They urge their people to get ready for a “revolt.”
J Michael Waller of the Center for Security Policy warned, “This isn’t about saving democracy. It’s Lenin-speak for seizing power. The Bolsheviks were a tiny group of fanatics whom others wrote off as a freak show. Recognize subversion when you see it.”
A Sinister Power Grab
The goal of Democratic Socialism is to tear down the foundations of American society, particularly moral and ethical boundaries. Though socialists insist they want to free people from religion, capitalism, and “restrictive” norms, the truth is that their system of governance would create a nation of morally bankrupt, impoverished slaves who answer to a cruel master. Their support of terrorists such as Hamas is further evidence of their sinister plot, which seeks to use force and fury to control the masses.
Taking DC Back
The second lie told by the Left this week revolves around President Trump’s plan to “take the nation’s capital back.” During a news conference at the White House, President Trump vowed to restore law and order to the streets of Washington, D.C., declaring “a crime emergency in the District of Columbia.” He quickly jumped into action by calling in the National Guard and federal law enforcement, as well as federalizing the Metropolitan Police Department.
White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers reported, “In less than one week, over 100 violent criminals have already been arrested and taken off the streets in Washington D.C.” Additionally, at least 70 homeless encampments have been removed by U.S. Park Police.
The Left Claims Crime Isn’t a Problem
The Left is not happy about President Trump’s bold moves. They are condemning what they insist is an “authoritarian incursion” of their city. Many are insisting that DC has no problems with crime, and Trump is creating a distraction so his supporters will forget about the Epstein files. The Leftist media is parroting the same lies, hoping Americans will believe that escalating crime is a conspiracy theory.
The Democratic mayor of DC, Muriel Bowser, urged residents “to protect our city, to protect our autonomy, to protect our home rule, and get to the other side of this guy and make sure we elect a Democratic House so that we have a backstop to this authoritarian push.”
Make America Safe Again
President Trump is unfazed by the Left’s rhetoric. He explained that when it comes to crime, Democrats are “afraid to do anything because they don’t want to be criticized. But fighting crime is a good thing.”
Charles Lipson, an expert on international politics, writes, “President Trump’s initiative to restore law and order to the streets of the nation’s capital is a smart political move. All Americans consider Washington ‘our city’ and we want it safe. We can see on the nightly news that it is not, and we’re not happy about it. If Trump can turn it around, he will get well-deserved credit, not from the legacy media, but from the public…if he can lessen the muggings, car jackings, and armed robberies, if he can move the homeless off the downtown streets, he will highlight the difference between his approach and the painful failures of Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, and other major cities, all of them governed by Democrats.”
The Left wants Americans to turn a blind eye to muggings, carjackings, rampant drug problems, never-ending homeless encampments, and violent attacks. “There’s nothing to see here,” claim the Leftists. The game is up, and people have had enough. It’s time to crack down on lawlessness and the leaders who refuse to stop crime in their cities. Americans deserve a country where anyone can walk down the street and feel safe.
Obama’s Leftist Post
The third lie told by the Left this week comes from former President Barack Obama, who recently posted this message on X: “Since we passed the Affordable Care Act, Republicans have tried over and over to repeal it. And over and over, they’ve failed — in part because millions of people now depend on the ACA for quality, affordable health care. Now Republicans are trying something different: quietly weakening the law and hoping you won’t notice. We can’t let them.”
Obama’s comments stirred up quite a response, with several lawmakers setting the record straight. Former Navy SEAL and Arizona Representative Eli Crane fired back by saying, “You’ve done enough damage. Probably best to sit this one out.”
Obamacare Made Healthcare Anything but Affordable
Senator Mike Lee of Utah pointed out, “Obamacare was a great deal—for huge healthcare companies, but it’s made healthcare less affordable for hardworking American families, who have seen their healthcare costs skyrocket—while a small handful of healthcare giants have reaped a windfall of billions of dollars a year.”
Scott Walker, the former governor of Wisconsin, noted, “The worst part of Obamacare was putting able-bodied, working-age adults on government assistance instead of helping them find employment. I’ve been vocally against this since day one. Medicaid should be for needy children, families, and seniors. Not for those who can work!”
Leftists praising Obamacare promised healthcare for everyone at affordable prices, but the reality became skyrocketing insurance premiums and deductibles for a large portion of Americans. Moreover, prescription drug prices have become unaffordable for many, while the quality of healthcare has decreased dramatically. In reality, Obamacare did the opposite of what it claimed to do because it made receiving medical treatment more difficult for the average American.
The Left repeats the same lie over and over, hoping people will believe it. The truth is that the Affordable Care Act has created a medical system that is anything but affordable. In truth, Americans are suffering physically and financially because of bad policies that were doomed from the beginning. It’s time to axe the ACA once and for all.
Lord Jesus, the lies grow bigger by the day, but with your help, we are more than capable of countering them with the truth. Please guide our reactions and actions as we tackle these deceptions on a daily basis.
These are just a few of the lies the Left told this week. How are you praying?

Trump’s social media account this morning posted a long screed saying the president is “going to lead a movement to get rid of” mail-in ballots and voting machines, and lying that the U.S. is the only country that uses mail-in voting because it is rife with fraud. As usual, the post claimed that Democrats “CHEAT AT LEVELS NEVER SEEN BEFORE” and claimed they “are virtually Unelectable without using this completely disproven Mail-In SCAM.” The post said he would sign an executive order “to help bring HONESTY to the 2026 Midterm Elections.”
Then the post claimed that “the States are merely an ‘agent’ for the Federal Government in counting and tabulating the votes. They must do what the Federal Government, as represented by the President of the United States, tells them, FOR THE GOOD OF OUR COUNTRY, to do.”
This is bonkers across the board. Dozens of countries use mail-in voting, and there is zero evidence of widespread voter fraud in the U.S. Just today, news broke that right-wing channel Newsmax will pay $67 million to Dominion Voting Systems for spreading false claims that the company’s voting technology had been rigged to give the 2020 presidential election to Democrat Joe Biden.
Combining that sum with the $787 million Fox News paid for spreading the same lies means, as Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) wrote today, that media entities have paid out nearly $900 million “for publishing lies about the 2020 presidential election. Yet Donald Trump, who lost by more than seven million votes, keeps repeating the Big Lie and makes it compulsory dogma for his employees.”
Certainly, if Democratic leaders were so unelectable, the Republicans would not go to such lengths to rig district voting maps and keep Democratic voters from the polls. Indeed, while voter fraud is vanishingly rare, the Republicans are using the specter of it to engage in election fraud: manipulating the mechanics of an election to favor one side over another.
Let’s be clear, this is NOT a Christian website that promotes Christian ideals. It is a right wing web site that promotes right wing propaganda and tries to appeal to Christians by twisting Christian beliefs. Trump is held in as high a regard on this website as Jesus. He cannot be criticized or questioned.

What about Trump’s claim that there is no inflation???
YHVH, I stand in agreement with Angela – “Lord Jesus, the lies grow bigger by the day, but with your help, we are more than capable of countering them with the truth. Please guide our reactions and actions as we tackle these deceptions on a daily basis.” As a Truthteller, I proclaim Psalm 40 over you, Angela!
When it becomes tiring and difficult to be discerning and vigilant 24/7, strengthen us and shield us, Abba. May we hear and respond to Your invitation to come away and hide under the shadow of Your wings for times of refreshing.
Psalm 91:1-4 “You who live in the shelter of `Elyon, who spend your nights in the shadow of Shaddai, who say to YHVH, “My refuge! My fortress! My God, in whom I trust!”— He will rescue you from the trap of the hunter and from the plague of calamities; He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings you will find refuge; His truth is a shield and protection.”
The left need to be treated with benign neglect. They are SO misguided, and under the bondage of satan and his minions. Lord Jesus, please, by Your great love, bring these people to You. Set them free from the bondage that they are living under. Thank You Jesus.
Angela,
Praising the Lord again for this superb series!
Thanks for keeping the Marxist threat — especially to NYC — at the top of our prayer lists! That report from the Democratic Socialists of America Convention was CHILLING!
Lord, protect us from those who wish to destroy America and Your vision for our nation!
