When it was Tafoya&#8217;s turn to fudge the facts, she really performed at a level of peak bullshittery, saying that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Almost 30 percent of Californians are homeless on any given night. 30 PERCENT!

It would mean that, given California&#8217;s population of 40 million, there would be 12 million homeless Californians, The actual number is about 187,000, or 0.47 percent of the state&#8217;s total population. So Tafoya is only off by about 6,300 percent. In fact, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hud.gov\/stat\/cfo\/app-fy26#_Toc198229132\" target=\"_blank\">according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development<\/a><\/strong>, there are about 771,000 homeless nationwide. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.ca.gov\/2026\/01\/08\/california-sees-drop-in-unsheltered-homelessness-bucking-national-trend-and-federal-headwinds\/\" target=\"_blank\">For the record<\/a><\/strong>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;California\u2019s homelessness plummeted in 2025 \u2014 with the largest drop in 15 years \u2014 according to preliminary data, due to Governor Newsom\u2019s strategies to reduce homelessness, address encampments, and create shelter and support. [&#8230;] While homelessness continued to increase nationwide, California reduced its unsheltered homeless population by an estimated 9%.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In the Era of Trump the lies promulgated by Fox News face stiff competition from Trump himself. No one is more adept at spewing ludicrous lies than the current occupier of the White House. Trump can&#8217;t help himself. Even after being called out for obvious, provable lies, he persists in retelling them. Such as his deranged assertions that he won the 2020 election that was rigged. Or his hysterical claim that his failing economy is the best in U.S. history. Or his desperate attempts to avoid accountability for his affairs with child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. And with regard to the latter, Fox News isn&#8217;t giving in.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday&#8217;s episode of <em>&#8220;Outnumbered&#8221;<\/em> co-host Kayleigh McEnany, the White House press secretary during the first Trump administration, tried to absolve Trump of guilt for his unsavory relationship with Epstein.
