Trump says US Steel is opening 6 new plants. That’s news to US Steel!
North Korea has no intention of giving up its nukes — and now we have proof
Quote:On June 26, Trump tweeted, “U.S. Steel just announced they’re expanding or building six new facilities.”
This followed his announcement on June 20: “The head of U.S. Steel called me the other day, and he said, ‘We’re opening up six major facilities and expanding facilities that have never been expanded.’ They haven’t been opened in many, many years,”
But, as the Washington Post Fact-Checker reports, U.S. Steel won’t say any phone call took place. Their spokesperson told the Post, “To answer your question, we post all of our major operational announcements to our website and report them on earnings calls. Our most recent one pertained to our Granite City ‘A’ blast furnace restart.”
So, no, there’s no major expansion in the works.
Trump has repeatedly used claims like this as evidence that he’s responsible for reigniting some kind of wave of manufacturing jobs in America.
Now, Trump’s rate of lying has exploded, as he feels increasingly comfortable not only concocting fables of phone conversations, but also inventing new steel plant openings.

North Korea has no intention of giving up its nukes — and now we have proof
Quote:As if it wasn’t crystal-clear, satellite images emanating from North Korea prove once again what most Asia hands feared: Chairman Kim Jong Un has no intention of giving up his nuclear program or “denuclearizing” any time soon — and likely played President Trump in Singapore.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
