Biden’s embrace of Hamas, Kamala’s strong ‘woke’ stance, and other notable moments
Diary of disturbing disinformation and dangerous delusions
The Democratic National Convention took place this week — and provided an absolute bonanza of falsehoods, fallacies and fakery. A (small) selection of the biggest, most brazen bundles of BS below . . .
This statement:
“Those [pro-Hamas] protesters out in the street, they have a point.”
— Joe Biden, Monday
We say: No, they don’t. The Hamas-loving thugs took to the streets of Chicago to scare the Democrats into compliance with their Jew-hatred. That’s it.
And thanks to Biden’s moral cowardice — which the elite of his party shares — they have a very good chance of doing so.
This math:
“Take it from an actual billionaire. Trump is rich in only one thing — stupidity.”
— Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, Tuesday
We say: Trump’s net worth is estimated by Forbes to be $4.3 billion. Pritzker’s? $3.5 billion.
(Also: Isn’t the Dem line nowadays that billionaires are bad?)
This description:
“[Michelle Obama’s] probably the best nonpolitical speaker in the country.”
— MSNBC’s Chuck Todd, Wednesday
We say: Huh? Michelle Obama’s speech was delivered at a political convention.
And the ex-FLOTUS is 100% a “political” speaker. Todd’s trying to paint her as a gifted outsider, but c’mon.
This argument:
“Thanks to Joe and Kamala, we are honoring our heroes in uniform.”
— Rep. Jim Clyburn, Monday
We say: Neither Biden nor Harris has ever mentioned the names of the 13 US service members killed in Joe’s disastrous Afghan bugout.
Doing so would cost nothing; refusing to do it is a deliberate mark of disrespect.
This hyperbole:
“This November, we can choose a brighter, fairer, freer future-or relive the dark night of Trump’s American carnage.”
— Sen. Chuck Schumer, Tuesday
We say: War in Ukraine. The Mideast on fire. Sky-shattering inflation. Tidal waves of illegal immigrants.
That’s true “carnage,” and it’s Biden’s legacy. Not Trump’s.
Schumer should be careful he doesn’t accidentally remind voters of that fact.
This description:
“A sitting president voluntarily passing the torch, making himself- as he has said- the bridge to the next generation of leadership.”
— MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, Tuesday
We say: Voluntarily? The man practically had to be dragged kicking and screaming off the campaign trail.
And that was after lapdog journos spent months telling us Biden was “sharp as a tack” despite his obvious mental decline.
This re-revisionism:
“There’s this kind of revisionist history now that the country was shut down too long and that Biden when he came in in 2021 continued to shut down businesses and continued to shut down schools.”
— CNN’s Chris Wallace, Monday
We say: No, the revisionist history here is the attempt to shift blame for the disastrous COVID policy response — school closures, business shutdowns, useless mask and vaccine mandates.
Democrats proudly owned them at the time, as did Biden’s executive branch.
This claim:
“[Harris] is working tirelessly to secure a cease-fire in Gaza and bringing hostages home.”
— AOC, Monday
We say: Harris may be “working tirelessly” on getting elected. But she’s 100% on the side of Hamas.
She’s snubbed Netanyahu, echoed Biden’s slanders of the IDF and on and on and on.
All incentivizing Hamas to keep the hostages.
And last but by no means least . . .
This accidental honesty:
“We’re going to put in the hard woke over the next 77 days.”
— Kamala Harris, Tuesday
We say: Without meaning to, Harris finally told the truth about what she believes.
It’s leftist insanity on race and gender and socialism on policy all the way down.
