Leftist ‘junk news’ site Raw Story was forced to issue a retraction after they claimed President Donald Trump could not fill up a stadium in Wyoming for his rally, when in fact it was considered one of the largest crowds for a political event in the state’s history.
On Saturday, Raw Story’s Bob Brigham wrote for the leftist news site that President Trump “fail[ed] to fill Wyoming arena at rally against Liz Cheney.” Before President Trump arrived on stage at the rally in Casper, Wyoming, Raw Story leapt on to a couple of tweets from reporters, declaring that the rally as a dead loss.
We are about 30 minutes from showtime at the Trump rally in Casper and there are A LOT of empty seats in the arena.

However, as President Trump came on stage, the arena was packed with his supporters from Wyoming and surrounding areas. The announcer at the stadium even claimed that the rally was the biggest in the state’s history, something President Trump echoed in a Truth Social post following the event.
“Incredible ENERGY last night in Wyoming,” Trump wrote. “Just announced, biggest event (number of people) in State history. How cool is that?”

Don’t believe the fake news about the Casper rally yesterday. It was absolutely packed— many longtime employees from the Events Center expressed how they’ve never seen a crowd like this before. Wyoming loves Donald Trump! 🤠🇺🇸 #ULTRAMAGA #FireCheney pic.twitter.com/YxOVXz8G52

Raw Story was forced to issue a correction, noting that, by the time the former president spoke, the stadium was filled,” adding that “Raw Story regrets the error.”
The headline was also changed to suggest that President Trump had “finally” filled the arena, suggesting that he was having trouble doing so to begin with.
However, at the time of writing, the original tweet from Raw Story which contains the previous headline, remains up on their official Twitter account, with no tweet either put out independently or linked to the first that corrects the glaring error. The tweet is the 7th result when “Trump Wyoming” is searched on Twitter.

Following the initial blunder from Raw Story, the site published five more articles on the Wyoming rally, including an article that attacked Trump for making a joke about his hair, another that criticised him for talking about the plight of January 6 defendants, and three write-ups of leftist political analysis of the rally from Politico, the Washington Post, and CNN.
Raw Story itself is not only known as a hyper-partisan, left-wing media outlet, but also considered by some researchers to be “junk news,” with multiple instances of Raw Story refusing to fact check or correct stories that were verifiably proven to be false after publication.

Who actually reads or watches fake news? I quit watching when Obama was in office. Surely some of these tards are getting the memo…

TDS ALERT!
Trump Derangement Syndrome is well and alive on both sides of the imaginary aisle, otherwise known as dialectics. One side provides the thesis, the other antithesis, resulting in a controlled synthesis. Those who ultimately control such a paradigm are thus able to, without detection, accomplish their wicked designs.
Case in point: TDS on both sides of the aisle, which only accomplishes to keep both sides focused on themselves and their opponents, which, in turn keeps both sides from ever focusing on the real solution for America’s woes – that is, a return to Yahweh, God of the Bible, as America’s Sovereign and thus His triune and integral moral law as supreme.
Trump will never make America great again. Only God is able to do that and He will only do so for the same reason He did so previously. America was once great but not for the reason most people believe it was. In fact, quite the opposite – a classic case of Isaiah 5:20, calling evil good and good evil.
Yahweh blesses nations (makes them great and prosperous) when they look to Him as their sovereign and thus His moral law as the standard for government and society, per Deuteronomy 4:4-8, 28:1-14, Proverbs 14:34, etc.
Consequently, America’s greatness was the result of the 17th-century Christian Colonial governments of, by, and for God established upon His unchanging moral law: Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America, 1835:
“They [the 17th-century Puritans] exercised the rights of sovereignty; they named their magistrates, concluded peace or declared war, made police regulations, and enacted laws as if their allegiance was due only to God. Nothing can be more curious and, at the same time more instructive, than the legislation of that period; it is there that the solution of the great social problem which the United States now presents to the world is to be found [in perfect fulfillment of Deuteronomy 4:5-8, demonstrating the continuing veracity of Yahweh’s law and its accompanying blessings, per Deuteronomy 28:1-14].
“Amongst these documents we shall notice, as especially characteristic, the code of laws promulgated by the little State of Connecticut in 1650. The legislators of Connecticut begin with the penal laws, and … they borrow their provisions from the text of Holy Writ … copied verbatim from the books of Exodus, Leviticus, and Deuteronomy.…” (Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America, 2 vols. (New York: NY: The Colonial Press, 1899) vol. 1, pp. 36-37)
On the other hand, Yahweh curses nations who reject His sovereignty and replace His law with their own man-made surrogates. Thus, America began to be cursed (by God’s long suffering only incrementally at first) when the 18th-century founders replaced the 17th-century Colonial governments with their own humanistic government of, by, and for the people based upon capricious Enlightenment traditions.
Without repentance for these sins of sedition and our complicity therein, it was inevitable that America would find herself teetering on the precipice of moral depravity and destruction.
