I urge that requests, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made in behalf of all people and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. 1 Timothy 2:1-2

Beloved evangelist Billy Graham once said, “Because truth is unpopular does not mean that it should not be proclaimed.” These days, the left-wing media has no shame in proclaiming the opposite of the truth. In fact, it uses a bullhorn to blast falsehoods to the entire world. Thankfully, the truth always has a way of breaking through, despite the noise.

Population Control through Abortion The first lie told by the Left this week involves the United Nations Population Fund, also known as UNFPA, the United Nations’ sexual and reproductive health agency. Recently, the Trump Administration terminated all funding to the UN Population Fund, which amounted to approximately $377 million, or 40% of the fund. The action was taken in tandem with a pro-life executive order that President Trump signed in January 2025 that “prohibits American tax dollars from going to groups that promote or provide abortions overseas.”

“Family planning is a human right. It gives women the power and agency to decide if, when, and with whom to have children.” It adds that it does not fund or perform abortions; however, it also does not “conceal information about abortions.” They specify that “in countries where abortion is legal, national health systems must make safe abortion care accessible to the full extent of the law.”

“Secretary Marco Rubio’s decision to once again block future funding for the UNFPA is yet another example in the Trump administration’s relentless stream of attacks on global human rights and health. This dangerous decision will disproportionally harm some of the world’s most marginalized people, as it compounds the damage already wrought by Rubio’s termination of more than $300 million of funding to the agency for 40 humanitarian programs around the world The United States has been a critical funder of UNFPA, contributing to safer health outcomes throughout the world. In 2023, for example, U.S. funding to UNFPA served an estimated 24.2 million women and couples and helped to prevent an estimated 8.1 million unintended pregnancies, 2.6 million unsafe abortions, and 14,000 preventable maternal deaths.”

Texas Congressman Chip Roy maintains, “The United Nations Population Fund is a globalist, Orwellian, propaganda machine that shills for the Chinese Communist Party and its brutal mandatory abortion practices. President Trump was absolutely right to end taxpayer funding to this corrupt and anti-life organization during his first term, and I look forward to him doing so again.”

Big Pharma Gets a Pass from the Media The next lie peddled by the Left has to do with President Trump’s executive order titled Delivering Most-Favored-Nation Prescription Drug Pricing to American Patients. President Trump calls it “one of the most consequential executive orders in our country’s history.”

The United States has for too long turned its back on Americans, who unwittingly sponsor both drug manufacturers and other countries. These entities today rely on price markups on American consumers, generous public subsidies for research and development primarily through the National Institutes of Health, and robust public financing of prescription drug consumption through Federal and State healthcare programs. Drug manufacturers, rather than seeking to equalize evident price discrimination, agree to other countries’ demands for low prices, and simultaneously fight against the ability of public and private payers in the United States to negotiate the best prices for patients. The inflated prices in the United States fuel global innovation while foreign health systems get a free ride.

A Double Standard If it were the Biden Administration announcing this executive order, the left-leaning media would be falling over themselves trying to cover the story with a favorable tone. The idea that Americans would no longer be forced to pay exorbitant prices for life-saving prescriptions would be labeled as amazing, miraculous, and downright earth-shattering. But remember that legacy news outlets are more interested in covering politics, rather than good policies.

Tucker adds that “U.S. prices are not market prices…this is obviously not a free market, despite what the Wall Street Journal claims…the real market solution is to allow most-favored-nation drug pricing plus reimportation. What makes it genuinely confusing is how free-market advocates so reliably defend the United States’ heavy interventionalist, monopolistic, and tax-funded system of pharmaceutical distribution.”

Left Says Transgender Military Service is Honorable A third lie proclaimed by the Left this week involves the transgender military ban that is currently taking effect. Liberal media outlets such as MSNBC see the ban as discriminatory and egregious, stating, “These people have passed every test they’ve faced along the way and built careers of service, only to see a president and his transphobic administration seize power and drive them out using noxious, bigoted language to do so. The policy, as written by Pentagon officials, declares that troops identifying as trans ‘conflicts with a soldier’s commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle,’ because they are trans.”
