What Do You Meme?

Memes, memes, they’re everywhere! Some are funny, some are inspirational, and some are just designed to spread false or misleading information.

As I find memes I want to respond to, I will post them here. I will limit the number to about 20 per page. This means I’ll have to make new pages when I want to add the most recent memes, with links to the older pages. Please note that only this first page will show on the blog, and will be the only meme page with a comment box.

Subjects will include politics, science, and whatever else moves me. Sometimes a meme will need no caption because it speaks for itself. When I fact check a meme, I will seldom provide a corroborating link, because I want the process to be quick and painless. My fact checking will be based on research I already did, or because I know the answer via other means (e.g., personal experience). Sometimes I already covered the subject elsewhere in this blog, complete with links.

The bottom of each meme page contains a link to the next older page, until you get to the oldest and last one.

What great job? Trump posted this hours before the guard started arriving there. And what’s this nonsense about masks? Tell the ICE agents to stop hiding their own faces.

He makes stuff up to hide his ignorance.

1. 27% of Harvard’s student body is foreign, not 31%. 2. Foreign students pay a huge amount MORE for tuition than American students do. 3. Foreign countries give billions in grants to American universities, including Harvard. That’s BILLIONS with a “B” 4. Instead of blaming Harvard for concealing who the foreign students are, Trump’s Secretary of Education could have gotten the information from the Association of International Educators. The fact that she didn’t even know she could proves she is not qualified to be the Secretary of Education.

Actually, Biden proposed hiring new IRS employees over a 10 year period, and not just “agents”, but many different roles in the IRS. Partly to replace those who will be retiring, and partly to increase workers in understaffed departments.

As for “auditing your $600”, that is a complete misunderstanding of what it’s really all about. I have intimate knowledge of this subject, so I will explain.

I’ve been working online for about 25 years. During that time, I’ve hung out in “work online” forums, and in more recent years, Facebook groups. Amongst the “work online” community, it’s long been common knowledge that business earnings of $600 or more has to be reported on one’s income tax return. However, the “work online” community generally uses payment processors like Paypal and many others which have come and gone. Payments to such processors have been untraceable by the IRS, and many people have taken advantage of that by simply not reporting their online earnings.

I can’t remember when it happened, but suddenly Paypal et.al. were required to report an individual’s business earnings of $20,000+ a year to the IRS. This caused an uproar in the “work online” community, because many of these people make 10s of 1000s a year that they avoided paying taxes on, and now they would have to pay taxes!

Now, most of us are honest on our tax returns, but I saw plenty of people sharing tips on how to avoid accumulating $20K in a single account, such as spreading out payments received among several processors so that any given one of them wouldn’t reach $20K in a year.

I guess the IRS figured out what was going on, because they wanted to drop the reporting requirement to $600, which would make it pretty much impossible for people to avoid paying taxes.

The IRS is not trying to monitor every penny you own. They only want to stop people from hiding taxable income. Click THIS LINK to see how PayPal explains it in detail.

Almost all of the “fraud and abuse” Elon claims to have found is outright lies. Congress has repeatedly tried to get Elon to come before them with proof, but he refuses. That’s all I need to know. Elon has saved the government nothing. Spending is higher than ever.

Brought to you by idiots who listen to conspiracy theories. SNAP is already hard to qualify for. Non-working able bodied adults cannot get SNAP! Illegals DO NOT GET FOOD STAMPS!

Those who don’t believe that legit recipients are going to lose Medicaid and Medicare haven’t read the pertinent sections in the bill and don’t understand how those programs work.

He was completely cleared of the initial accusations. I’ve read all the court dockets myself. Now (June 2025), they have brought him back to reinstate charges that are completely false. If the Trump admin really believed that he committed those crimes, they would not have brought him back. They are trying to make some kind of point because they are mad that they have been ordered to bring him back. The churches that are praying for him need to continue praying.

One of many examples of Trump pardoning criminals who have furthered his agenda in some way. If Biden or any other Democrat had pardoned these people, Republicans would be screaming bloody murder. But Trump did it, so it must be alright.

I watched my mother descend into Dementia. When I watch Trump, I’m watching my mother all over again.

Some are saying he shared that “to be funny”. Since when did Trump share anything to be funny? Especially when it’s something that demeans a foe. If he was sharing it to be funny, he wouldn’t have shared it with no comment.

D.J. Daniel has been receiving his cancer treatments from Texas Children’s Cancer and Hematology Center, in conjunction with the Baylor College of Medicine. DOGE/Trump funding cuts to Baylor College of Medicine forced them to layoff 122 employees, implement a hiring freeze, and eliminate many programs. D.J. Daniel’s doctor expressed grave concerns about how he was going to continue treating his young cancer patients while contending with reduced funds and staff. Elon and Trump don’t care if this effects D.J. Daniel’s cancer treatments.

He just goes on and on about fentanyl from Canada. Almost NO fentanyl comes through from Canada. What little fentanyl gets through was missed by AMERICAN BORDER AGENTS WHO SEARCHED THEIR CARS, THEN LET THEM IN. Stop blaming Canada.

The white genocide claim has repeatedly been debunked. Biden didn’t let in millions of illegals.

Nobody wants or is trying to let criminals in. They just want the law followed.

Kennedy is trying to take us back to the dark ages. When all those research facilities got shut down, and all the associated doctors and nurses got fired, a very great many people who were undergoing treatments got cut off, and many will die as a result. At this rate, Europe and Asia will leave us in the dust with new medical advances. We’ll be a 3rd world country.

Actually, this should specify MAGAs. Not all of us conservatives fall for the nonsense.

The pipeline was intended to carry dirty, poor quality oil to Texas refineries to ship oil overseas. We don’t have a use for dirty oil in America, so it never would have added to our own supply.
