TRUTHDIG’S JOURNALISM REMAINS CLEARThe Examiner:
After pointing out Queen Elizabeth II had dined with 10 U.S. presidents, Bush said she helped America celebrate its 200th birthday in “177 … 1976,” which drew laughter from the crowd of 7,000 invited guests.
The queen apparently was not among those who were amused.
“She shot me a look only a mother could give a child,” Bush said, after glancing at the monarch.
The storytellers of chaos tried to manipulate the political and media narrative in 2025, but independent journalism exposed what they tried to hide. When you read Truthdig, you see through the illusion.
