Just when I sat back Wednesday evening to drink a glass of wine and relax, I made the mistake of glancing at Twitter and I read this public service announcement from our friends at PBS. They’ve taken an honorable media stance to try to pull the wool over our eyes yet again, with this great advice: “How to keep conspiracy theories from ruining your Thanksgiving.”
Just for a moment, please allow me to channel “Oscar the Grouch” and vent a bit to counter this pile of Projecting. Boneheaded. And Schiff-shoveling bull.

Get a load of this:
House Democrats and Republicans didn’t agree on much during the public hearings held as part of the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump. But both sides and the witnesses did utter the same pair of words every day of the hearings — 50 times overall. And those two words were “conspiracy theory.”
From CrowdStrike to speculation about Jeffrey Epstein’s death, conspiracy theories have become central talking points in American politics and culture — or at least that’s how it feels on the internet.
Defining the conspiracy theory:
People — even smart and savvy ones — mix up conspiracy theories, falsehoods and myths. Here is the key difference: A conspiracy — and by extension a conspiracy theory — must involve a group of people conducting secret deeds that disadvantage or infringe on the rights of others.
Conspiracy theories lack public, objective and verifiable proof.
BREAKING:
Don Jr.'s new 3 week old business was just awarded $130M in special government bailout funds
He then funneled his profits through offshore accounts to avoid US taxes
Just kidding
It was Hunter Biden who actually did that
Now it makes sense why the MSM is silent

“Okay, Sesame Street kids, we’ll be right back with The Letter E, (for Epstein) right after this commercial break!”

To understand why people believe in conspiracy theories, you need to ask yourself how the human brain decides any piece of information is true.
1. Accept that you probably won’t change their mind.
2. Be kind. That said, if you’re going to try to correct a conspiracy theorist, one important thing to keep in mind is that you don’t want to ostracize them.
3. Do your homework. Correcting someone’s thinking can work if a piece of misinformation can be replaced with something concrete, Brashier said.
4. Push the objective truth, whenever you can and as early as possible. …This task may be as simple as telling your relations to seek better information…
CNN finds time to write about a dog that died 18,000 years ago but can’t find time to report on a bombshell revelation from this month that ABC News killed a story about pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and Democrat Bill Clinton https://t.co/LXTPkPBvNI

I won’t get into my thoughts on conspiracy theories, but I will encourage you to question the narrative every. single. day. to counter the constant bull that is thrown at us by the corrupt media. PBS and [“they”] are so afraid of the truth getting out via WOM (Word Of Mouth) that they’re doing anything to coach their minions to stop it. They and most of the media frauds out there are labeling inconvenient truths as “conspiracy theories” and friends, I’ve had enough of it.
So here are my top tips on how to survive the talk on conspiracy theories, if they are to grace your dinner table. First of all, the media is trying to leverage the two words “conspiracy theory” as a condescending label, just as they did with the word “deplorable” and “racist” to shut down any logical debate. When this happens, and it surely will don’t get mad. Be kind and get even by asking questions — simple as that.

Oh, and here’s a conversation you can have at the dinner table: The WaPo says Obama was a Conservative. Deep and woke, right?
Perspective: Democratic presidential candidates still can’t figure out how to talk about the most popular figure in their party, @Swerdlick writes, and there's a simple reason.
Barack Obama is a conservative. https://t.co/45gsMfhQ2c

Right? Can you believe this nonsense? But like PBS tells us, even if some know it is not true, they’ll believe it anyway.
And heck yeah, just as PBS is working on their civil duty of telling all of us how to believe and think and what we’re allowed to say or not allowed to say, their friends at MSNBC are trying to tell us how everything Trump is saying about Ukraine is a conspiracy theory. The entirety of these 13:43 minutes is complete and utter turkey sh*t brought to you by the letters M and S and N and B and C.
Question the narrative folks. Enjoy the show and Happy Thanksgiving y’all!
