Leftist letter writers constantly whine about hating Trump. Others, repeating from a playbook almost 70 years old, lie about Republicans eliminating long-established government programs. Like Social Security.
Other than Trump hatred, what does today’s left stand for? What’s their “better” alternative? Maybe, a few recent headlines will give us a hint. Here are a few. You won’t find much of this in the MSM though.

Caryl Exner says
Most of the fact checking, deeply read citizens I know do not hate Trump, we just think he is not qualified to be President of the United States. He is too unqualified to hate, What most of us are shocked and displeased about is that some (not the majority of) voters in deed voted for him. However, thanks goodness there is soon a chance to undue this mistake.
America is awake!! says
Obama was qualified ? Anyway what do you read that makes you an expert? Whos we?
TRUMP WILL WIN 2020
Paul Little says
Thank you Mr. Gudmundson for including sources for your headlines.For those of us that fact-check items, it was very helpful.
After spending way too much time fact checking these headlines and researching the sources this is what I have found.
1. They are all actual headlines.
2.. They are all from sources that are considered far right to right leaning.
3. Over one half of them represent the truth about what was said. (Black Lives Matter Co-Founder in 2015: ‘We Are Trained Marxists’)
4. I couldn’t figure out what the problem was with some statements (Vatican calls on Catholics to divest from fossil fuels; Obama Refers to Unrest as ‘Great Awakening’).
5, The rest twist the context to make a good headline (Republicans Almost Three Times More Proud of America than Democrats This is true if you add extremely proud. If you use the responses to extremely/very/moderately proud, the numbers are the same, upper 90%. Also, Pro-Life Democrat County Official Threatened with Ejection from Party is true but only by one disgruntled employee that was upset over what they considered to be racist and sexist remarks.
Read the articles. Don’t make decisions on a headline.
Maranda Emig says
How are these “Headline from the Left” when all but one of the sources provided are self proclaimed conservative or right leaning publications? This piece would have made much more of an impact if he had used sources that were left leaning to make his point. As is, it’s a perfect example of bias and why we all need to look outside our bubbles of “left” or “right” so we can actually listen to one another.

Why should he use fake news sources?
Aaron Bishop says
Greetings Ken,
What do you mean by “fake news sources”?
What news from these sources is demonstrably fake or false that hasn’t been retracted by them?
Cheers!
