Understandable. There are still those on the left that still believe "RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA" was true.

As I said ... there are still those on the left that believe "RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA" -- our resident far-left partisans prove the point.
Yep. After years of yelling about the "undeniable truth!" what we got was “did not find that the Trump campaign, or anyone associated with it, conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in these efforts"

I always check the source documents but often they are not provided, are not from verifiable sources or from questable sources. I was thinking it was surreal that Facebook and Twitter were bad sources and limiting freedom of speech all the while the much maligned Tik-Tok was the most trustworthy.

Town Hall: Veterans evicted from hotels to make room for migrants was a hoax
The story that hotels were evicting veterans turned out to be a hoax and may have included intentional fraud.

[ Rather than Honor & Respect those that served, this once again shows that both parties see the military and military veterans, as nothing more than their Political Pawns. ]
Group accused of making up story about homeless vets being evicted to make room for migrants.
NEW YORK (AP) — The founder of a nonprofit group has been accused of fabricating a story about homeless military veterans being evicted from a New York hotel to make room for migrants, a tale that stoked days of outrage on cable news networks.
One Republican lawmaker in New York who helped spread the story is now calling for an investigation, saying he and others were duped.
The uproar began after New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat, bused a small group of asylum seekers to a suburban hotel as the city’s homeless shelter system struggled to accommodate an influx of migrants from the U.S. border with Mexico.
The group’s transfer prompted a political backlash from Republican county officials, who accused the mayor of trying to offload his problems on unprepared communities.
Then, the founder of a small charity in the area added an explosive claim: To make way for the migrants, a hotel in Newburgh, New York, evicted nearly two dozen homeless veterans.

2.) Story of homeless veterans booted from hotel for migrants was a hoax: NY lawmaker
BY BRAD DRESS - 05/19/23 3:48 PM ET
A sensational story about hotels in upstate New York throwing out homeless veterans to make room for migrants bused from New York City turned out to be false, according to a local news outlet.
New York state lawmaker Brian Maher (R) told The Times-Union the story was false after he had a conversation with Sharon Toney-Finch, the CEO of Orange County nonprofit Yerik Israel Toney Foundation.
Toney-Finch made the original claim about the homeless veterans thrown out of the hotel rooms, setting off a media frenzy this week that was scooped up by conservative outlets Fox News and the New York Post.
But under pressure from Maher to provide evidence, she unraveled emotionally and kept saying she wanted to help the veterans, according to the newspaper. But she failed to provide any evidence, such as bank statements, to the New York state lawmaker.
Maher also talked to the veterans who claimed they were thrown out of the Crossroads Hotel in the city of Newburgh.
At least one of the purported veterans said they were paid by Toney-Finch to lie about being thrown out, according to the Times-Union. And staff at Crossroads Hotel and two other hotels confirmed they never had dealings with the nonprofit or never housed any veterans.
Maher said he was “devastated and disheartened” to learn the truth.
“This is something I believe hurt a lot of people,” the New York State lawmaker told the local outlet.
The sensational story about displaced veterans was first reported by the New York Post last week.
