Trump claimed a saboteur with a box cutter damaged the Washington Reflecting Pool [with a 350-foot gash]. Coating manufacturer Rhino Linings described the issue as finish coat separation. The company’s statement did not mention vandalism or criminal activity related to the damage. —MeidasNews, June 26, 2026
Lies are bold, and so loud we think they must be facts.
They appeal to your vanity and assuage your fears. That's how they hook you.
Lies will lure you in with promises and sweet talk.
They'll jump out at you shrieking wildly to drown out facts.
Lies lie around and snack on junk, they binge and swell, taking up all the room.
They sometimes cut one and stink up the room while you have to pretend not to notice.
Lies bulk up, bullying and sitting on facts to keep them quiet.
Lies act like they are super heroes—until facts challenge them to prove it.
Lies will backstab facts then look innocent after. There's rarely an investigation when lies are in charge.
Lies will drink and drive, then crash. They survive, often thriving while the damage to everything else is catastrophic.
Lies rise to the top like air bubbles or scum; only facts can get rid of them.
They will grab your savings, your home, your job, your spouse, your life—but only if you let them.
Lies will try to make you change your beliefs, your morals, your humanity.
Lies will empty your bones and eat you alive, that's what lies are up to.
