I have to say that watching the Democrats take lying to a whole new level is something to see.
Almost as amazing is how the "fact checkers" are being twisted into knots to rate their pronouncements as "true" or “missing context” – the latter is reserved for those times when the subject of the “check” is patently and plainly false but making it true is beyond the talent of the “fact checker”.
I just saw a Facebook “fact check” on a post claiming there are only two genders because males are XY and females are XX. The “fact checker” rated it as false because there are “intersex” people who have chromosomal characteristics of both – but this is a characteristic of 0.018% (according to the NIH) of world births.
I don’t know about you, but most statisticians would consider that to be an anomaly since 99.982% of the rest of the population is either XY or XX. The mere existence of an anomaly does not prove the premise false.
But that’s how far the “fact checker” propagandists will go to protect the left’s belief systems.
Perhaps the most telling are the things the "fact checkers" are ignoring.
They aren't ignoring them because they can't rate them, it is that they can't rate them without calling the Democrats what they are - despicable and reprehensible liars.
From Biden's "Do you realize the bullet out of an AR-15 travels 5 times as rapidly as a bullet shot out of any other gun" to Karine Jean Pierre's "nobody is just walking across the border" lies, the Democrat plan is to lie their way through the next two election cycles and hope nobody notices.
And yet, no fact checks.
By the way, if there ever was an argument against affirmative action, the first openly gay, black, immigrant woman to be the White House spokespronoun is it. She is singularly the worst spokesperson to ever stand at that podium, but she keeps her job due to her identity. She is so bad; she makes Peppermint Patty look good.
Biden just claimed there was “zero” inflation.
And yet, no fact checks.
Democrats are claiming the GOP is really the one behind defunding the police and the surge in crime in Democrat controlled cities. They even went to the extent to claim it is the Republican governors who are responsible for the rise in crime in their states when the crime is concentrated in major cities where Democrats have been in charge for fifty years or more.
And yet, no fact checks.
The governor of New York and the mayor of New York City are blaming the Texas governor for the influx of illegal immigrants “swamping” their systems while ignoring that the Biden administration has been sending illegals to their state and city on taxpayer funded BidenAir midnight flights.
And yet, no fact checks.
Randy Weingarten the head of the AFT, has argued that the unions wanted to keep the schools open, it was the GOP that wanted to close them.
And yet, no fact checks.
Powerline noted that Minnesota governor Tim Walz, just fabricated statistics to claim crime was low in Minnesota, statistics so obviously a lie, they were immediately refuted.
And yet, no fact checks.
The vaccines don’t prevent the Rona and there is now statistical proof that lockdowns didn’t work, social distancing was a farce, and kids WERE harmed by school closures.
And yet, no fact checks.
Democrats just passed a party line bill with the Orwellian title “Inflation Reduction Act” that doesn’t even address inflation – and after passage and Biden’s signature, the media never mentions inflation in conjunction with it.
And no fact checks.
Democrats still claim the retreat from Afghanistan was a success and there was no evacuation from the US embassy in Iraq this week.
And yet, no “fact checks” on any of these.
The new hotness is apparently completely burning down formerly respected authorities to help Democrats. Scientific American just published an article claiming that there never were two genders until Western Civilization invented them as a tool to oppress women and minorities. There were also two “studies” that found that gun ownership and the Second Amendment both are directly tied to racism.
Also, no fact checks.
People are being lied to with reckless abandon, and they don’t even seem to care.
Watching the audience behind Biden yesterday honk and clap like a bunch of trained seals really brings focus to not only how blindly partisan and willfully gullible Democrats are, but it indicates how truly deep the trouble we are in is. Half of America is in complete denial of reality.
We worry about a coming serfdom – but these Democrat supporters are already there.
Honk. Honk. Clap. Clap.
I’ve noticed recently lying has evolved. A year or so ago their lies were lies but they had a patina of plausibility. The ‘95% effective’ lie, for example. Now they just say whatever they want despite it being absurd. Completely straight-faced. And about stuff even their supporters know are lies. ‘No inflation’ nonsense. Anyone who ever pays for groceries or gas or anything else knows that’s not true. Democrat or Republican. They have entered a new phase of dictatorial power, along the lines of a Kim Jong of Korea.
The so-called Fact Checkers are as free of Marxist doctrine as the racist anti-American professors and administrators at Ivy League universities.
I'll never forget Snopes.com saying that it was unequivocally FALSE that Obama gave the Wuhan lab $18 million dollars for their gain-of-function experiments. A later entry by Snopes said that the claim that Obama gave the lab $17 million dollars was Partly True because $700,000 was left for the Trump administration to pay off.
Incidentally, POTUS 45 opted out of the agreement.
