Lying is Their Stock in Trade

I you were to eliminate all the lies of commission and omission, half truths, logical fallacies,  projection, misdirection, and diversions from Democrat speech what would you get?  Blessed silence.  As it is, if a Democrat says the sky is blue, you would be wise to step outside and look. These are some examples of all the lies repeatedly told by Democrats: 

• Timeline re: Biden’s cancer diagnosis.
• Biden is as sharp as a tack although we saw and heard otherwise.
•  Russia collision hoax (which would not have gotten as bad as it did had then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions had a spine).
• COVID: * Did not come from a Communist China lab leak—they knew at the time that it did.

1. Masks are effective—only if you are ugly.
2. Six feet distance — the virus knew the difference between 5’11” and 6’.
3. Close small businesses, but keep the large ones open.
4. Close schools — uneducated people are better to control.
5. Church and synagogues to stay closed to avoid interactions — BLM riots are okay. The virus knows not to infect anyone at a BLM riot, especially if there is looting and firebombs.

•  Speaking of riots, during the 2020 “Summer of Love” riots, Democrats and the legacy media (but we repeat ourselves) called them “mostly peaceful.”
• Hunter’s laptop (that the FBI had already authenticated as his) was Russia misinformation.
• Election integrity equals voter suppression or brings back Jim Crow laws.
• “Very fine people” crap that Donald Trump NEVER said about the Neo-Nazis!
• Look at the lies Democrats said about now-Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings. However, you must wonder why comparably speaking these same Democrats hardly made a whimper during Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation hearing. 

Western Society Will Be Destroyed Without a Commitment to Truth - American institutions are suffering from a collapse in public support. Among the institutions worst affected are government, the press and education. One could be forgiven for believing that government must be the most important, given its pervasiveness in our lives and its law enforcement powers; followed by the media, which -- of late -- does the government's bidding; and then perhaps education...............

If Democrats Had the Truth on Their Side They Wouldn’t Have to Lie All the Time - Democrats' Party pearl-clutchers, perverts, and activists pretended to be upset last week over the idea that we’re all going to die. The fact is, we will all die someday, though their bad ideas will live on – 100,000,000 people were killed in the pursuit of the progressive political philosophy over the last century. There isn’t a single leftist alive who is bothered by that fact who can attest to that fact........

 

Three Big Lies of Joe Biden

From the economy to the border, these things just ain’t true.

by Andrew Moran | Feb 8, 2024 @ Liberty Nation News Tags: Articles, Business News, Opinion

President Joe Biden and his administration often refer to the so-called Big Lie of former President Donald Trump. The punditry class can debate this subject, but there is very little doubt that a parade of big lies is emanating from the White House, from the economy to the border. When the United States slipped into a brief recession in the first half of 2022, and media outlets took their marching orders to redefine the term, it became clear that anyone possessing even a modicum of integrity would have to fight the tenet of the mendacious statist: The bigger the lie, the more people will believe it.

Joe Biden and Jobs

  Biden and Democrats cannot help but tout the current labor market. One cannot blame the rulers: unemployment below 4%, persistent monthly job creation, and solid nominal wage growth. This is an exceptional record on the surface. However, grabbing even a spoon to dig underneath would yield an entirely different situation in the jobs arena. Liberty Nation has extensively reported the many facets of the monthly non-farm payrolls report, showcasing the innumerable challenges impacting the US economy.

For instance, it would be difficult to find the administration’s allies in the press reporting that the nation has been shedding full-time jobs over the past year. In February 2023, there were 133.23 million full-time positions. Today, there are roughly 133.13 million full-time jobs. At the same time, there has been a spike in part-time employment, rising more than 6% since June.

What about real (inflation-adjusted) wage and earnings growth? The former has dropped nearly 3% since February 2021, while the latter has declined more than 5% since the record in October 2020. The cost-of-living crisis is so severe in America that a near-record number of people work two or more jobs to survive. Even if White House officials are accurate when they say wages are climbing, inflation has been so bad over the last three years that the cumulative effect has eroded gains.

Many economists are skeptical of what the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports. The establishment survey, which fosters duplication in the figures, has some wondering if the numbers are manufactured. This suspicion about the federal agency’s methodology or integrity is amplified when the household portion of the monthly jobs data highlights lost employment.

Greedflation

Did you know that the local Walmart is why the consumer price index (CPI) hit 9.1% in June 2022, gasoline prices are above $3 a gallon, and cumulative inflation has been above 18% since 2021? This has been one of Biden’s many explanations for why inflation has been ubiquitous in the world’s largest economy. Call it corporate greed or greedflation. Whatever the case, the argument falls short of logic for several reasons.

First, the grievance has been that Corporate America is making record profits because businesses are squeezing their customers. This might sound accurate, but the reality is that supermarket chains, for example, are enduring tighter profit margins. It is estimated that for a customer’s $25 grocery basket, the chain is earning $1 in profit. Like everyone else, companies must deal with various higher costs, be it labor or energy.

Second, it is fascinating that businesses pick and choose when to be greedy and when to be altruistic. If mom-and-pop gas stations and Big Oil are odious thieves out to steal every nickel from motorists, why have there been such immense fluctuations in gas prices for the last half-century? Were they evil heading into the 1980s when the average price ventured toward $1? Did they stop being iniquitous when the typical cost slipped below $1 in the late 1990s? Were they being charitable when gas prices tanked during the Great Recession? Were they monstrous when prices topped $5 in June 2022?

Third, because the Federal Reserve inflated the money supply by 45% during the pandemic, Americans’ purchasing power significantly eroded, meaning it requires more units of currency to purchase the same amount of goods and services. And, on the subject of the Eccles Building, Fed Gov. Christopher Waller recently conceded that expansionary fiscal policy was the primary contributor to the massive boost to the CPI.

In the end, Biden demanded that companies collude to decrease prices. What is fascinating about this call to action is that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) would typically have a fit if it is found corporations are conspiring to suppress prices because this would, according to bureaucrats’ longstanding belief, produce monopolies. Of course, when prices rise, businesses are accused of price gouging. If they stagnate, the private sector is told to have greater competition.

The Border

Is the border crisis an economic issue? Upon closer examination of what is transpiring at the US-Mexico line, it seems that governments incentivize illegal immigrants. For instance, New York City is launching a $53 million scheme, giving free credit cards to families staying at hotels to purchase food and necessities. It will start as a trial project, but officials say it could be expanded to more migrants across the city.

Democratic lawmakers purport that illegals are needed in the US economy because nobody else will pick produce, leaving fruits and vegetables to rot in the ground. It is a tactic to encourage more Americans to endorse the practice of sneaking into the country.

Perhaps the biggest whopper of all is the administration’s flip-flop. For years, Biden, his team, and their advocates in the Fourth Estate assured the public that there was no border crisis unfolding despite the flood of evidence.

In April 2021, the White House, including Press Secretary Jen Psaki, dismissed the idea that the country’s southern border was in a crisis. In July 2021, Politico asserted that “it’s not a border crisis. It’s a climate crisis.” In September 2022, Vice President Kamala Harris declared the “border is secure.” If celebrities’ opinions matter to you, Rob Reiner wrote in 2019 that “there is no crisis at the border.” Then he shifted his position to blame Trump and House Republicans for “our border problems” five years later. The latest punchline came from Biden on Feb. 6 when he said, “The only reason the border is not secure is Donald Trump.” Even if this were accurate, the incumbent has had three years to do something, including two years of controlling the House and Senate, choosing to instead abstain from the topic and eat ice cream.

A Cavalcade of Falsehoods

X has showcased the great lengths the administration will go to espouse falsehoods heading into the 2024 election, from employment to the border. No matter how many Community Notes these social media posts receive, the Biden team likely hopes it will tire out the authentic fact-checkers and continue to share incorrect information without being called out. When the media outlets try desperately to prop up the incumbent as if this were a Weekend at Bernie’s film, it will be challenging for voters to separate truth from fiction. As the line in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof goes, “There ain’t nothin’ more powerful than the odor of mendacity!”

Why Do Democrats Lie So Damn Much?

Derek Hunter Jul 31, 2022 

If you were alive in the 1990s you saw the fight against HIV and AIDS morph from a serious one to a clown show. Why? Because Democrats wanted to “avoid stigmatizing” people not only most at risk, but those most as risk by a longshot. The left didn’t want to point out that promiscuous, unprotected sex between men was the most common and easiest way to get HIV. Few heterosexuals contracted HIV through sex, and those who did could either trace it back to a man engaging in gay sex or an IV drug user. In other words, HIV was not an easy virus to catch. Still, Democrats lied about it. Why? Pretty much the same reason they lie about everything.

By changing the narrative to one that “anyone can get HIV” – something true, but really only technically – Democrats actually downplayed the danger gay men faced from the virus. If anyone can get it there is no reason to take any special precautions or ever really be careful at all.............To Read More....

Cuban Refugees Blocked by Democrats as Future GOP Voter

US Must Counteract Southern Liberal Emigres by Importing Millions of Conservatives

By Kelly O'Connell ——Bio and Archives--July 17, 2021

Cover Story | 1 Comment | Reader Friendly | Subscribe | Email Us 

Understand Joe Biden only wants southern border immigrants because they will vote Democrat. So, Cubans are “blockaded” because they will vote Republican. End of story. This in the midst of unprecedented protests in 20 Cuban cities where untold thousands will be arrested and even murdered for demanding freedom. So, there goes your heartfelt theory that Democrats “love” embattled, endangered, and enfeebled illegals, beaten down by thugs or corrupt governments and welcome them all out of Christian agape`of humanity.

Cubans, as actual survivors of a Marxist state, are future Republicans.............Biden and Pelosi claim their absolute commitment to all southern border crossers is done for “humanitarianism.” But now we see this is an absolute lie, thanks to Cuba...........BLM came out in support of…the Cuban Government!......... BLM had to back Cuba because the island is Marxist and BLM are a Marxist Group started by three Black, lesbian Marxists! ..............To Read More....

 

Desperate Dems Deny Their Agenda Three Times

I & I Editorial Board July 8, 2021

Theodoor Rombouts, The Denial of Saint Peter

Three of the big issues of the day have the liberal left scrambling to pretend that it’s not a group of outside-the-mainstream radicals: defunding police, critical race theory, and voter ID laws. There should be repercussions for such cravenness.  After spending the better part of the year talking up a “defund the police” agenda, Democrats are now trying to claim that it’s Republicans who want to strip the police of their resources.

Defund the Police: For more than a year, leading Democrats – up to and including President Joe Biden – have talked up the idea of cutting police budgets because local law enforcement is plagued by racism..............Democrats didn’t just talk about defunding the police. Deep blue cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Austin, Portland, and others acted on it, slashing police budgets. The predictable result was an explosion in violent crime. Over the July 4 weekend alone, more than 180 people were shot to death. Not only that, but ambushes of police grew more than 90% this year............

Critical Race Theory: Meanwhile, even as the left pushes the Marxist “critical race theory” into the nation’s schools, military and private sector, it’s denying what it’s doing. The Daily Signal’s Jarrett Stepman noted that:............Why is the left trying to gaslight America on this? Because, for one, an increasing number of parents are in open revolt over this noxious propaganda. As we noted in this space:.............

Voter ID: Then there’s the issue of voter ID laws. Up until just days ago, Democrats were united in decrying voter ID laws as racist attempts to suppress minority voters.  Biden compared a Georgia law that included a voter ID requirement as “Jim Crow in the 21st Century.” Back in 2014, when he was vice president, Biden called voter ID laws “an attempt to repress minority voting masquerading as an attempt to end corruption."............Now, suddenly, they are all more accepting of the idea, if not openly endorsing it. But instead of admitting that their past opposition to this common-sense reform was a wrongheaded attempt at race-baiting, Democrats are pretending that they never opposed voter ID laws...........To Read More....

The Safest Bet: Assume the Left is Lying

January 31, 2019 By Trevor Thomas

When Rolling Stone horrifically flubbed their infamous campus rape “exposé” -- to the point that they were sued into requiring new ownership -- it was noted that no one should have been surprised that a publication that has spent decades glorifying the hedonistic, misogynistic culture of sex, drugs, and rock music would botch a story revealing the so-called “rape culture” that supposedly existed on college campuses across the U.S.

Likewise, no right-minded person should be surprised that those devoted to a liberal worldview, where the absurd notion of “your truth” is the prevailing moral position, are so often wrong and/or deceptive. In spite of what you may have recently heard, living life according to “your truth,” in addition to often causing one to be “factually wrong,” also typically results in all sorts of immorality.

The evidence is all around us, every day. Speaking of being wrong every day -- factually and morally -- Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the gift that keeps on giving. It’s quite an accomplishment to set oneself apart in such a way in the modern Democratic Party. Nevertheless, in only a few days as congresswoman and only a few months in the national spotlight, Ocasio-Cortez has become a most “distinguished” deceiver.................."when she bangs on self-righteously about the importance of facts, it’s worth noting that barely anything that comes out of her mouth seems to actually be factual.”.........

The left’s lies on Russia and collusion are not mere chatter. The left isn’t content to smother the airwaves and the internet with “Trump stole the election!” People are getting indicted, and more often than not, they are “indictments in search of a crime.” As Alan Dershowitz noted after the recent arrest of Roger Stone:...........
