New in PJ Media:
Everyone knows that Donald Trump was the 45th president of the United States, but if Meta, the sinister and malevolent megacorporation formerly known as Facebook, gets its way, that fact will soon go down to the memory hole. The inconvenient little speed bump of 2017 to 2021, delaying our arrival at the socialist internationalist paradise our moral superiors envision for us, will be entirely forgotten as if it had never existed at all.
We see this in a small but glaring fact: Meta’s AI lists Old Joe Biden as the 45th president, omitting mention of Donald Trump as president altogether. Donald Trump? He does not exist and never existed. You are suffering from delusions, comrade!
Chaya Raichik of Libs of TikTok noted the omission on her X account. In the image she supplies, the Meta bot announces: “My name is Meta AI. Think of me like an assistant who’s here to help you learn, plan, and connect. What can I help you with today?” It is given the prompt: “Can you list all the U.S. presidents?” and cheerfully responds: “Yes I can! Here is a list of all 45 Presidents of the United States, in chronological order.”
There then follows an ordinary list of our nation’s chief executives, entirely ordinary, with Grover Cleveland’s nonconsecutive second term helpfully marked “(again),” just in case you might think the repetition of his name was a mistake in the list.
The real mistake, although it was certainly no unintentional error, doesn’t occur until the end of the list, when we see “44. Barack Obama 45. Joe Biden.” Then Meta AI chirps: “Let us know if you have any other questions!”
Yes, as a matter of fact, I do: where’s Trump? Why is Bad Orange Man omitted, vanished without a trace, with the 46th president listed as the 45th so that the unwary might not notice the omission? Was Trump deep-sixed and left off Meta AI’s list because he was not part of the elite group of leftists who despise him and aspire to crush him and the movement he represents?
The answers to those questions couldn’t be clearer. Trump is off the list because the left hates him and wants to program Americans, whom it intends to make increasingly dependent upon AI for basic information, to forget that his presidency ever happened at all.
America First? Oh, that will never do. As America’s managed decline continues, the ruling class and the social media giants want us to forget that there were ever any alternatives to our steadily increasing impoverishment and misery. This is the way it is. This is the way it always has been. Don’t let yourself get caught committing wrongthink or spreading “disinformation.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

So they are busy destroying America but at the same time we must be strong and united enough to stand up to and thwart the evil Putin. To borrow a Marxist term – one of the inner contradictions of progressivism.
