Journal of misleading information and risky illusions
Claim:
“This campaign is in a strong position”
— Biden Deputy Campaign Manager Quentin Fulks, Monday
We believe: Really? With President Biden’s declining mental acuity now evident, Donald Trump has surged ahead in every swing state.
The liberal media — and even fellow Democrats — are urging Biden to drop out of the race or face a landslide defeat.
Is that what Fulks considers a “strong position”?
In reality, the only place where his campaign is thriving is in Biden Land.
Spot the difference:
“I’m the guy who shut Putin down. Nobody thought we could do it.”
— Joe Biden, Friday
vs.
“Russia strikes a children’s hospital in Kyiv and other sites across Ukraine”
— NPR, Monday
We believe: It takes a certain level of audacity (or senility?) to claim success in countering Russia’s Mad Vlad while he’s bombing children’s hospitals.
Charge:
“The threat we face at the border isn’t from the migrants. It’s from the billionaires and politicians getting working people to point the finger at one another.”
— United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain, Sunday
We believe: Forget about migrant crime. Or fentanyl, terrorists, overwhelmed cities . . . Forget even that migrants are taking jobs from union workers.
Fain, a supposed labor leader, seems to be so loyal to Joe Biden and the left that he’s promoting this complete nonsense to downplay the migrant threat and dismiss voters’ valid concerns about the border. Talk about shameless!
Spot the difference:
“[Trump suggested] an ‘injection inside’ the human body with a disinfectant like bleach . . . could help combat the virus.”
— New York Times, April 24, 2020
vs.
“[Trump] did not instruct people to inject bleach.”
— New York Times, Saturday
We believe: When the Times withdraws its support for a candidate, as it’s now done with Biden, its presentation of the facts changes as well.
Suddenly, the Gray Lady is fact-checking Biden: On Saturday, it called him out on the numerous falsehoods he uttered in his interview with George Stephanopoulos.
This included not only Biden’s claim that Trump “told us to put bleach in our arms to deal with COVID,” a statement the Times echoed in 2020, but also the president’s lies about poll results, the events he’s attended, Putin, Sen. Mark Warner, and other issues.
