Democrats wrecked your economy, imported millions to undercut your wages, and now they're paying foreigners $25 a pop to pretend they're you and complain about it. That's not a punchline. That's Project Bullhorn.

The Democratic-aligned venture, which has stated its goal as combating right-wing dominance on social media, turned to a platform called SideShift to recruit "U.G.C. creators to speak on the rising crisis of affordability around the United States ahead of the 2026 midterms," as the Daily Caller reported. The initial rate was $30 per video. It has since dropped to $25 — apparently the affordability crisis hit the people manufacturing it, too.

Here's the grift in full: first, you import tens of millions of people, quasi-legally through redefined asylum claims and stretched H-1B programs, or flat-out illegally by refusing to enforce the law. Then you give them handouts — rent, healthcare, phones — at your expense. This drives up housing demand and locks John Q. Public out of homeownership forever. Then you print money, shovel it to NGOs that cycle it back as donations, and let foreign NGOs help track and suppress dissent online. As the Daily Caller noted, the charities the Biden admin paid to traffic illegals into the country also overwhelmingly donated to Democrats. The self-licking ice cream cone, perfected.

Now the cherry on top: The New York Times identified more than 100 social media accounts that took part in Project Bullhorn's campaign. Few disclosed they were paid. Only a third of the creators in the affordability campaign actually lived in the states they posted about. One man who claimed to be "born and raised" in Texas was actually from Leicestershire, England. A woman posting about U.S. affordability lived in Ontario, Canada. Foreigners reading Democrat-written scripts about an American crisis — for beer money.

Ars Technica, meanwhile, spent its ink this week reviewing Apple's M5 Ultra Mac Studio, a machine so expensive it's marketed to "vibe coders" running AI models locally. The Mac Pro is dead; long live the $10,000 box for the class that can still afford to experiment. Two outlets, two Americas. One covers the machinery of manufactured consent; the other covers the machinery the ruling class buys for fun.

The question isn't why they're doing this. The question is why anyone would believe a word coming from a platform full of paid actors reading scripts written by the people who caused the pain in the first place.
