FALSE. Most sexual assaults of children are committed by a friend or family member. The LGBT community are the victims of sexual assault at higher rates. It is much more common to see a politician or a priest added to a sex offender registry. 

False. The U.S. – Mexico border has not been “open” since the 1920’s.

Under the Biden Administration, as with previous administrations, the border. Barriers existed and thousands of guards were patrolling the border. Biden deported hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants. 

FALSE. According to data collected by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have shown consistent declines in both violent and property crimes since the 1990’s. This general trend occurred through the Trump presidency as well as the current Biden term.

FALSE. At the end of the Trump Administration, the United States had reached 12,850 (thousands per day) barrels of oil. In 2024, under the Biden Administration, a record 13,450 barrels of oil was produced in October. In 2025, production numbers under Trump have gone down slightly. In addition, Trump’s drilling rig count numbers have been decreasing as well. 

Gas prices have gone down recently because of lower oil prices caused by an increase in production by OPEC in the months of May, June, and July. OPEC intends on increasing production even more in August. 

The Russia-Ukraine war began in February 2014, when Russia annexed Crimea and deployed troops in eastern Donbas. During this time, Russia also established new military bases in western Russia.

Ukrainian and Russian troops engaged in intermittent combat in the Donbas region throughout this period. In 2021, Russia began amassing troops and equipment. In February 2022, Russia launched an attempt to invade the entire nation of Ukraine, which largely failed. Intelligence experts and European nations appear to agree this has been part of a long-term strategy by Putin to invade Eastern Europe and reassemble the old Soviet Union.

The conflict between Israel and the Palestinians has persisted for decades, and blaming any U.S. President or administration for this ongoing struggle is blatantly absurd.

1. At an April 2022 dinner sponsored by the Heritage Foundation, Trump stated: “This is a great group, and they’re going to lay the groundwork and detail plans for exactly what our movement will do and what your movement will do when the American people give us a colossal mandate to save America.”

2. In Trump’s first year of office, he adopted 64% of policy recommendations made by the Heritage Foundation.

3. Paul Dans, a former member of the Trump administration and current director of the Heritage Foundation’s 2025 Presidential Transition Project stated the group has a “great” relationship with Trump and that he “is very bought into this.” 

4. Many former Trump staffers and appointees have been involved in the development of Project 2025, namely, Russ Voiught, Christopher Miller, Ben Carson, Rick Dearborn, Gene Hamilton, Mark Meadows, Brendan Carr, Cleta Mitchell and John Eastman. 

FALSE. Not for anyone. Inflation numbers for specifically food have increased 20.8% under the Biden Administration. Not a good number to celebrate. But not the 100% increase some want to claim. 

The Syrian civil war was occurring during the Trump administration. Trump ordered missile strikes in 2017 and 2018.

The U.S. had troops and military operations going on in both Afghanistan and Iraq during Trump’s presidency. During this time, Saudi Arabia and Yemen were at war. 

Russia and Ukraine were battling in eastern Ukraine. In Africa, the U.S. was conducting counterterrorism operations in Somalia. 

FALSE. Immigrants have less law enforcement contact, fewer convictions, and less incarceration than U.S. citizens. This is true for not only the entire country, but also sanctuary cities that receive large numbers of immigrants. 

FALSE. Non-citizens have been barred from voting in federal elections since 1924. Under legislation signed by President Clinton in 1996, it became illegal for non-citizens to vote in elections. The states are responsible for whether or not immigrants are allowed to vote in local and state elections. 

60% of Democrats and 52% of Republicans say they have received food stamps at some point in their life. 70-75% of SNAP recipients work but are eligible because they are below the poverty line. This is a complicated issue that involves people who are retired or have disabilities. Some people temporarily use these programs as a social safety net after losing their job. Other times, people are working but are not earning enough money to afford basic necessities. There are absolutely instances of welfare fraud and abuse that occur. However, the narrative that large amounts of welfare recipients are able-bodied people refusing to work is unfounded.
