Tired Of The Lies!

Our country is in a quandary. We have “advanced” to the point where we are so far beyond where the Founding Fathers ever thought we’d end up, that we are off any page of any book by now. And there is one problem that is exacerbating the whole situation more than any other.

Lies.

When you look at it, the government has been lying to the American people for a very long period of time. I’m not talking just Democrats here, I’m talking the whole government. And the issues that we’ve been lied to about, are numerous. It’s not just one thing. There are a myriad of topics that government “spins” to give us their best view.

When you look at polls, I was amazed to believe that 61% of all Americans believe that government agents helped provoke the January 6th riots at the Capitol. And what that means is basically that most Americans feel that there were elements of the government that were undercover agents that spawned the riot at the Capitol building. The question is why? Were they Trump supporters that were upset over the election results? Were they leftists trying to get something to pin on Trump as he was ready to leave office? No one knows at this point.

Look at the lies Joe Biden has told us. My Lord, if you just take the lies that the guy has told over the last three years since he was running for president, about his own personal life, it’s staggering. Look at the lies that came out of Adam Schiff’s House Intelligence Committee as they discussed behind closed doors impeaching Donald Trump a second time because of the Capitol riots. And what about the former Obama administration officials that lied to the American people saying they had proof that Donald Trump was a “Russian agent”, when they totally changed their tune in testifying before Congress on the subject.

Look at the lies we hear about in the media. How many stories has the three major cable news networks fabricated to get their ideology across, just in the last 10 years? You know, when our country was founded, the media was supposed to be the check on government. They were to be the spotlight that showed where the roaches were, so we could fumigate the place. That’s tough to do when they are lying to you and making up news stories that just aren’t true. Think about the journalists at the New York Times, and Washington Post, as well as CNN and MSNBC that have been fired for lying. I can count ten very easily, and they span Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC. The names are as household as IBM, Microsoft, and McDonalds. And these are the spotlights of truth?

You know, my mother always told me that she could tell when I was lying as a child because I had a white ring around my mouth. I don’t know where she came up with that, but it worked. I realized at a very young age that lying was difficult. It fought the truth, which always seemed to come out. You ended up not just lying once, but you ended up spinning a whole web of deceit to cover the one lie you told. I’ve seen it happen thousands of times. And it’s usually not the first lie that catches the liar, it’s the subsequent mis-truths.

I’ve often said that the breakdown of the family, and the loss of religion in our society has been the root cause of the decline of America, and I still believe that. But one of the large by-products of that are the lies being told. How many times did Nancy Pelosi tell lies about bills that were being debated and passed in the House of Representatives? How many times did she lie about what happened to her husband, Paul, when he got beat up in his own home? Or how many lies were told about his car crash and subsequent DUI? The truth always comes out, and when it does, it’s always worse than if someone had told the truth.

I’m just tired of the lies we are hearing from a government that is supposed to serve and protect us. I can’t count on anyone in government to give me the truth. Hell, they can’t give each other the truth. Did COVID come from a lab in Wuhan or a wet market because of bats? They say they don’t have consensus because they don’t want the truth to be known. The question you have to ask is, why are you covering this up? What is it that you really don’t want us to know? And what will be our reaction up the road when we find out the truth to all of this? Will we accept it because they’re all just politicians? Or will we hold them accountable for their lies. It’s sickening.

Biden’s Lies Drone On

Don’t know if you happened to see the article at http://www.foxnews.com by Justin Haskins, but it was a beaut. He outlines four of Biden’s lies that he loves to tell over and over again. They are all lies we’ve talked about here, but Haskins does a great job in debunking them.

In brief, here they are:

1. Inflation is improving. Well, of course, those that watch prices continue to skyrocket know that’s a lie. Out here in the desert, gasoline over the last week went from $3.19 to $3.59 a gallon. Now, realize we’re never the cheapest gas in the country. In fact, each summer when we drive to see our kids and grandkids, the gas we buy here is the highest price we pay on the trip. Yes, inflation is down from 8.6% last summer, but it’s still 6.4%. That’s a whopping five points higher than it was when Biden took office. And it isn’t Putin’s fault or the rest of the world’s fault. It’s up there because of a $1.1 trillion dollar infrastructure bill, and a $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan.

2. Biden created 12.7 million new jobs. No, he didn’t. See, he’s counting all of the people that went back to work in 2021 after the pandemic. That isn’t creating anything. That’s having things get more back to normal. Webform.com says that 114 million people lost their jobs in 2020. That means that 12.7 million of the 114 million got them back in 2021. That’s nothing Biden did. That’s something that the end of the pandemic did. You can’t take credit for that!

3. Biden cut the deficit by $1.7 trillion. Actually, no. He didn’t. He added to it at a rate that has been faster than any other American president in history. When you take into account he’s counting all of the programs Trump had put in place that sunsetted in 2021, yes, there was $1.7 trillion that was spent in 2020 that wasn’t spent in 2021. The reason was because the pandemic was ending. But Biden has added some $4 trillion to the federal debt in just two years. That’s faster than anyone else that’s been in the White House!

4. I won’t raise taxes on anyone making less than $400,00 a year! Well, that got changed to any COUPLE making less than $400,000 per year before he even took office. And that’s not true either. The Inflation Reduction Act adds over 3/4 of a trillion dollars in new taxes to the rolls. A lot of that has to do with corporate taxes and new taxes on oil exploration, drilling, and refining. All of those get passed on to the consumers in higher prices. So, yes, Americans making less than $400,000 a year are indeed paying more in taxes. I think he would be in the clear had he said INCOME taxes, not just taxes.

Now, to say that Joe Biden lies is like saying the sun comes up in the east every day. Everyone knows it. But what has to happen to get rid of this guy in 2024, whomever the Republicans put in to face off against him, needs to be armed with the facts. And they need to confront him with facts that he likes to misquote. You can’t let him get away with anything. He’s one of the most untrustful presidents in our history. He most certainly is one of the more corrupt presidents we’ve had. And there may be only one or two of you that actually think that he is not unfit for office.

So, what is the problem in getting enough independent voters to vote him out of office? Simply put, it’s likeability. Joe Biden to a lot of people is a lot more likeable than say, Donald Trump. And Ron DeSantis is not the most likeable guy that will be in the running either. DeSantis can come off as smug when he’s talking about what he’s done in Florida, granted. But you need to break through that persona and attack “grandpa Joe” with the tenacity that will get these people to wake up. Remember, the entirety of why everyone is constantly being reminded of how feeble, how frail, how senile, and how inept this guy is, is to simply make sure the Republicans get someone that can beat him in 2024. If not, we need to be ready for the liberals to retake the Supreme Court. I don’t know how much longer some of those guys can hang on!

Can We Do Something About Misleading Campaign Ads?

They are all over the place. If you happen to live in a state where you don’t have a Senate candidate running for reelection, get down on your knees and thank God Almighty that you are spared the nonsense that some of us have to go through. And the problem is, at the present time, there is nothing we can do about it.

I’m talking about the lies and distortion of political advertising.

I’ll give you several examples about what I see here in the desert where we have a close race between incumbent Mark Kelly (D), and newcomer Blake Masters (R).

Kelly has come out and said that Masters wants to do away with Social Security and Medicare. That’s not true at all. What Masters has said is that it may be time to actually privatize Social Security. And he’s right. The left is making this sound like it’s some big deal, when every person working today (unless you’re extremely lucky to still be getting a pension when you retire) is invested privately in the stock market through your 401k. And the GOP wishes to privatize Social Security doesn’t have a thing to do with anyone currently on it. It’s a lie that Kelly loves to tell.

You’re hearing a ton of ads (mostly through PAC’s) that Republicans want to ban all abortions. That’s nowhere near the truth. Republicans have offered a few alternatives to a complete ban, such as Mitch McConnell’s 15 week limit for abortions, but it’s a states’ rights issue, not the federal government. I know it pisses off the left to hear that each state has the right to decide the future for themselves, but that’s the Constitution. The Supreme Court ruled correctly on this one.

And we get the over-blown resume-padding from incumbents that say they’ve done much more than they’ve actually done. Kelly has ads saying that “He passed a bill to improve Arizona’s infrastructure.” No…HE didn’t pass it. His party passed it. It’s not like he was sitting in the Oval Office, pen in hand ready to sign the bill when it arrived. He was told by Chuckles Schumer to vote yea on it, and he did. That’s not him “passing” anything. And he’s said this on a lot of different accounts.

Then there is the name calling. Here in Arizona, we’re in the midst of not only a Senate race, but also for the Governor’s mansion. Kari Lake (R), a former newscaster for 27 years is running against Katie Hobbs (D) the current Secretary of State. Lake has been leading by 3 points for quite some time now. It hasn’t changed. But leave it to the PAC’s to call her names like “Kari Fake” and say that she’s doing all sorts of nasty stuff. We really don’t hear much about this on the other side, though it does exist.

I’m just getting sick and tired of the lies and half-truths that are being told in political advertising. The sad thing is there isn’t anything you can do. Radio and TV stations are obliged to run the commercials they are given, regardless if they are true or not. And they can’t edit or change them in any way. When I was working in Ohio back in 1984, there was a guy running for President in the Ohio primaries that used the word “BS” (but said the actual word) in his campaign commercials. We couldn’t do a damn thing! We had to air it as we got it. So, if these politicians want to lie or twist the truth or mislabel something, they can do it without fear of retribution.

That needs to change. It would be nice to get back to the point where these ads actually told me WHY I should vote for a candidate, not how the other person should be in prison!

Bombshell Admission? Or World’s Largest Gaffe?

You have to hand it to Joe Biden. He doesn’t mess around when it comes to going off script. Biden was in Massachusetts earlier this week, speaking about climate change at a closed-down coal plant. And he was talking about how his life was growing up in Delaware near an oil refinery. Here was his quote.

“My mother drove us rather than us being able to walk and guess what? The first frost, you know what was happening? You had to put on your windshield wipers to get literally the oil slick off the window. That’s why I and so damn many other people I grew up with have cancer and why for the longest time, Delaware had the highest cancer rate in the nation,”

Oops.

Now, did the President of the United States just admit to the world that HE and “so damn many other people he grew up with” have cancer (present tense)? Or was this just another, and probably the largest Joe Biden Gaffe he’s ever made? Let’s get one thing clear. IF Joe Biden has cancer in his 80’s, the chances of him recovering from it are two…slim and none, and slim just left town. If however, he did what he likes to do often enough and make up stories about himself doing things and having lived through things that just aren’t true, it’s probably the largest gaffe he’s ever made. You don’t tell the world that you, as the President of the United States have cancer because of growing up near an oil refinery if you didn’t.

Once again, we are forced to listen to a president that has lied on more than one occasion, and has made up stories about his life several more times than I can count. Either way, you don’t do it about something as serious and deadly as cancer. That’s just wrong. Biden already has lost most of the credibility he ever did have. That was evidenced when he returned from Saudi Arabia. He said one thing, the Saudis said another. And the American people believed the Saudis over their own president. That’s not a very positive sign about where our country is right now.

Look, I want to have a president, regardless of party, that levels with me. He or she tells me the truth. They are honest. They are forthright, and they treat the American people like the adults we are. They don’t embellish about themselves, their lives, or stories about what they went through. In this sense, there is no difference between what Biden is saying and what the liberal snowflake media does when they either make up stories to get their point of view across, or not cover news that would damage that point of view.

If Joe Biden does indeed have cancer, I’m sorry for him. I don’t wish that on anybody. But if this is just another Biden gaffe or lie about what he went through in his youth to make a point about how important it is to fight climate change, he has further damaged the whole climate change argument to the point that more and more people will start to wonder whether or not it’s real, or whether it’s just more fakery foisted by the Democrats. Sad…very sad!

Can We Be Truthful About Gas Prices?

The one thing I try more than anything else to do at this blog is give the truth. I try to call out any falsities that arise. So, you’ll have to forgive me when I call the Biden Administration liars when it comes to gas prices. And I also have to call out one of my Senators, Mark Kelly (D-AZ). Kelly is running for reelection to the Senate after just a full year and a half, filling a term from Martha McSally, who lost to him in November of 2020.

Kelly’s been sending a ton of emails, direct mails, and TV ads to Arizonans regaling the fact that he’s “working hard” to stop the increase in gas prices. Oh, it sounds great. But I’ll just preface further comments with this. Mark, if you’re working hard to lower gas prices, you’re doing a lousy job, and you’re in the wrong business. Whatever you’re working so hard at isn’t working.

One of Kelly’s first ads came out four months ago. You probably didn’t see it unless you live in the AZ, so here’s the website it’s on:

https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=mark+kelly+commercial+about+working+to+lower+gas+prices&docid=608012862306284901&mid=D70A224263B4BAF1325ED70A224263B4BAF1325E&view=detail&FORM=VIRE

Here’s what I hate about the excuses that Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and people like Mark Kelly are doing. They are absolutely lying to you. First of all, it’s not a “Putin gas hike”. Gas prices had doubled long before Vladimir Putin started amassing troops on Ukraine’s border. And it’s not a COVID problem. That was bank in Trump’s day. And, as Kelly points out in his ad, it’s not because of the “greedy oil companies looking to boost their profits.” No, this was brought on by several totally different reasons.

First off was the fact that on his first day in office, Joe Biden cancelled the Keystone XL Pipeline project that was already underway. Besides wasted the millions of dollars already spent on the project, he denied the 830,000 barrels of oil per day that we would receive from Canada. Not Russia, not Saudi Arabia, not Iran. Second, he cut off oil leases in some of the prime drilling spots in the United States, including Anwar in Alaska. It’s one of the richest oil fields in the world. Third, he has slow-walked permits to drill in an effort to increase gasoline prices. The reason? Simple. He wants to bring the cost of owning a gasoline powered car so high that people move to electric vehicles.

Now, I’m not saying that electric cars won’t have a place in our future. They’ve come a long way in the last two years with battery technology. It’s almost to the point that you can drive for a couple of hours in an electric vehicle without having to stop to recharge. And when the battery technology gets to the point where you can drive 750 to 1,000 miles on a single charge, and there are enough infrastructure improvements in place to put charging stations on every corner like there are gas stations, we could be in business. Well, except for the fact that the environmentalist wacko’s don’t tell you that they have no place to put spent lithium ion batteries, so they’re going to have to go to the Nevada desert and bury them somewhere.

And the cost is going to be high for several years to come. Yes, now you’ll be paying over $51,000 on average for an electric car. And the battery cost has come down since 2012 from $600 per kWh to about $400 per kWh. That’s still out of reach for most Americans.

So, can we agree that while some day, you may end up owning an EV, today is probably not the day. The technology just isn’t there yet. So, why is Joe Biden and Mark Kelly so sold on EV’s today? Because they have it in for the oil companies. They feel the oil giants are huge polluters and that they are doing nothing to help stem the tide of the climate change hoax.

And that’s why Joe Biden, and Mark Kelly are dead wrong when it comes to gas prices. They aren’t doing anything to lower them. They are doing everything in their power to get the gasoline up over $10 per gallon. That makes their argument for EV’s even easier to understand.

And that is one of many reasons why Mark Kelly is listed as someone that may be losing his seat in November. We can only hope!

The Latest Biden Lie

Abraham Lincoln was known as “The Great Emancipator” for his ending slavery and winning the Civil War. Joe Biden is known as “The Great Liar” for his inability to tell the truth.

Joe Biden has a problem with the truth. I’m not sure why. Usually, the truth is much easier to keep straight than when you tell a pack of lies…and maybe that’s Biden’s problem. But Biden’s lies are so benign, they mean so little, that it’s not worth getting caught in their nasty web. Yet, he continues to do so.

The latest one is a great example.

According to Beckett Adams, writing in the Washington Examiner, Joe Biden lied when he said last week in a meeting with Jewish leaders that he “spent time” at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh back in 2018. You’ll remember that there were 11 people murdered in that synagogue. Biden’s word for word comment was:

“I remember spending time at the, you know, going to the, you know, the Tree of Life Synagogue, speaking with the — just, it just is amazing these things are happening, happening in America.”

Ah…there’s a slight problem. The Executive Director of the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh says she never ever remembers Joe Biden EVER being at their synagogue. Not after the 2018 shooting, not EVER.

So, reporters went to the White House communications staff and asked them who was telling the truth. Turns out that Joe Biden did CALL the Rabbi at the Tree of Life Synagogue during 2019, a whopping NINE MONTHS after the shooting. But calling the Rabbi is not spending time at the….you know….going to the…you know… these are totally different things.

This isn’t some city councilman we’re talking about here. This is the President of the United States. And he can’t discern a visit from a phone call that happened two years ago?:

But this is just the latest lie to hit the books…you’ll remember these I’m sure, and I thank Beckett Adams for bringing these back to my memory:

Biden said in the latest campaign that he’s had the backing of the NAACP “every time” he ran for office. That’s not true. He’s said that the Obama administration (when he was Vice President) never “locked people in cages”. That’s not true, they did. He claimed that while visiting Iraq he was shot at. Again, a falsehood. And he claimed that he was the first person in his family to go to University. He claimed that he “predicted” the 9/11 attacks. He did no such thing (at least publicly). And of course, back in the 1980’s when Biden first ran for the White House, he claimed to have received a full-ride scholarship to Syracuse University, and that he finished in the top half of his class in law school. He also said he was named as the Outstanding Student in the Political Science Department in Delaware during his undergraduate days. He also claimed he received not one, but THREE undergraduate degrees from the University of Delaware. A) He never received a full-ride scholarship to Syracuse. B) He never was in the top half of his graduating law school class. C) Never was he named the Outstanding Student in the Poli-Sci Department at Delaware. And D) he only received ONE undergraduate degree from Delaware.

So, let me ask you the question. When Joe Biden tells you that you need to get a vaccination for COVID, or that you need to wear a mask, are you going to believe him? I mean, when he lies about meaningless crap like what I have shown in the previous paragraph, are we to believe him on anything he says?

And that would go to saying that “all Americans that wanted to leave Afghanistan have left”, and that “Our military will stay in Afghanistan until all Americans who want to leave come home”. Nope…more lies. Except this time, it’s costing lives, not just credibility.

The Rosenstein Conundrum

If you’re a fan of ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, CNBC, or the likes of the New York Times, or Washington Post or some such nonsense, you probably missed it. That’s because they didn’t cover it. But Rod Rosenstein testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee a week ago. He was talking about something that the above mentioned news outlets wallowed in for three and a half years, and used over 2,200 minutes of airtime and over 46,000 column inches of newsprint to cover. Yet they failed to mention it for one second. Not one column inch mentioned his name. What am I talking about?

Russian Collusion.

It was the heartbeat of American media for three years. Every single media outlet in the country fed it to us like a lion feeding a starving cub. And yet, when Rod Rosenstein, one of the central figures in the whole affair came forward to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on June 3rd, all you heard were crickets. All you saw in the newspaper was white-space.

But why?

Well the reason is, that since all of Adam Schiff’s committee’s testimonies were made public, and we found out that all of the Obama administration officials that testified before that committee lied to the press, lied to America, and probably lied to themselves when it came to Russian collusion, the fact was they weren’t about to risk going to jail for lying to Congress. They came clean and all of them said they hadn’t heard a word about Russian collusion or seen any proof of it. And Rod Rosenstein basically said the same thing. He hadn’t heard of the Hillary Clinton campaign paying for the Steele documents that supposedly indicted Donald Trump as a Russian spy. He hadn’t heard much about what was actually happening at the FBI regarding the railroading of Trump. In fact, he was pretty much stuck in the broom closet on that one.

And this is why the media decided to skip this one…that it wasn’t “fit to print”. And it was because after screaming for three years that the Russian collusion scandal was worse than Watergate, and that Trump shouldn’t only be impeached and removed from office, he should be put to death for treason!, they still have their tales between their legs. Well, their reasoning is, that the Senate should have known better to hold these hearings with all of the police brutality and peaceful protests going on over the whole George Floyd thing. They want us to believe they’ve most past this. Yes, I would think they’d want to.

And my point to all of this is, you cannot and should not trust a damn word coming out of those mentioned media. They have lied to you for their political gain, and that’s the ONLY reason they made up stories, lied to you and fed you lies from the Obama administration. It was all done for politics. There wasn’t anything to see. And once again, Donald Trump was right when it comes to this sort of stuff. It was the biggest scandal in American history. Yes, this whole charade WAS bigger than Watergate, but unfortunately for the left, it was the Democrats that were guilty this time. It was the Democrats that were treasonous and tried to bring down a duly elected President who had done nothing wrong.

Now, the big question is, what is the punishment going to be? How is the media going to be made to atone for their actions? How do you rectify the lies and the made up stories? How do you admonish the Obama administration, and from what I’m hearing it went all the way to Bobo Obama himself? Do you send the people, including Biden and Obama to jail? Do you fine them tens of millions of dollars each for the fraud they perpetrated on the American public? What is an apt punishment?

First and foremost, worse than any punishment any court can throw at them, they should have lost all of the credibility they had spent their entirety building up. No American should trust them or look at them as a source of news again. All of the networks should shut down their news operations immediately, and the Times and the Post, and all of those newspaper rags should be put out of business (they’re heading that way anyway!)

Unless and until the left is made to suffer the consequences of their actions, their actions won’t just continue, they’ll only intensify. And that is something that will destroy America. We need to wake up and wake up now. George Floyd’s death was a tragedy, but it is nothing compared to what the media and the Obama administration pulled on America!

Assessing Biden

Yesterday, we assessed Bernie Sanders’ campaign, and looked at what he did in the US Senate, (as well as one bill he introduced in the House of Representatives). It wasn’t much…a couple of namings of post office buildings and a COLA increase for Veterans. Other than that, his time in politics has been pretty much a thumb twiddle.

Today we look at Joe Biden. Biden has had an incredibly large role in history as compared to his Democrat rival for the nomination. But has everything he has said on the campaign trail be accurate? The answer is probably not.

In fact, Nathan Robinson, writing in “Current Affairs”, a liberal publication by the way, said that you do NOT want to nominate Joe Biden for President. He was writing this for Democrats, and this is what he had to say: ” Joe Biden has shown himself to be fundamentally weak, unreliable, and dishonest. He gets taken advantage of by Republicans, and he seems more interested in making friends than advancing Democratic ideals. Biden, ultimately, is truly “just another politician”: a guy who will give you a warm smile and then sell you out behind closed doors, a person who will make terrible decisions and grubby deals and then cover them up with lies. He adopts a “middle class” image but sucks up to the rich and powerful, and has contempt for ordinary voters and their concerns. He’s a man with little integrity or moral character, whose choices in office have caused a lot of people a lot of harm. “

Whoa!

Now, I always thought that Biden was a little shaky when it came to morals and honesty. Remember his first run for the White House? He had to drop out after it was shown that he had plagiarized some of his speeches. And his family has had a history of scandals as well. His niece was charged with $100,000 theft of credit cards. She cut a deal and got off with no jail time, no probation. Hunter Biden was kicked out of the Navy for failing a cocaine drug test. He also divorced his wife, and then married his dead brother, Beau’s widow. What’s up with that?

As far as Joe himself…yes, he did indeed, as Bernie Sanders pointed out…tried to cut Social Security. Not once, but four times, and even bragged about it. He was also in charge of the $787 billion dollar bailout that was going to fix the economy in 2009. Remember that? It produced, as Bobo Obama said, “One shovel-ready job”.

And, Joe Biden over the years, as with most (not all) politicians in DC, has ingratiated himself with the big money guys. From bankers to credit card companies, to foreign deals, Biden is well-endowed with their favors. Simply put, he’s not as squeaky clean as he lets on. And yes, there is more to the Ukraine scandal that he and Hunter Biden were involved in than you and I know about. Congress has been stonewalling that investigation, just like they stonewalled the investigation into Hillary Clinton.

Overall, Joe Biden never did as much for the country as Vice President as he says he did. He has several cases where he’s trying to bury his record, and has out and out lied about them (like the Social Security and Medicare cuts he swears he didn’t do). In short, and this will come out in the campaign this fall, he’s not to be trusted!
