Obama returns to spreading falsehoods, Morning Joe attacks Israel and other news
Diary of disturbing disinformation and dangerous delusions
This tweet:
We say: Barack “If You Like Your Health Plan” Obama lied shamelessly while president, and now he’s at it again.
Biden can pretend we saw “record-breaking job growth” on his watch only by disingenuously counting recovered jobs sidelined by COVID.
Adjust for that, and job growth under Biden falls short of what “the guy running against him” accomplished pre-pandemic.
As for the 81-year-old Biden spending “each and every day working,” that would be a real laugher if his massive R&R weren’t so troubling.
This smear:
“Aid workers . . . have died because of [Israel’s] indiscriminate bombing. [Netanyahu] knows he can’t leave power; he gets sent to jail. So he will intensify this war. He will hurt Israel’s standing in the world.”
— MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough, Wednesday
We say: What a vile slur, of not just Netanyahu but all of Israel. “Indiscriminate bombing”? Give. Us. A. Break! The Jewish state has set the standard for protecting civilians in war.
Yes, it accidentally bombed aid workers, but blame Hamas for the war that led to that.
Was it “indiscriminate bombing” when US forces bombed a family during Biden’s botched Afghan bugout — killing 10 civilians, including seven kids?
As for Israel’s “standing,” haters like Scarborough will bash it no matter what.
Golda Meir was right: Better to be “alive with a bad image” than “dead and pitied.”
This charge:
We say: Scarborough isn’t the only disgusting hack to hurl false charges against Israel.
Sen. Bernie Slanders — er, Sanders — is claiming the Jewish state’s struggle to survive, following Hamas’ slaughter and rape of 1,200 Israelis and its vows to do it again until Israel is gone, amounts to “murder.”
Has he no decency?
This claim:
“No, [President Biden’s] not losing in all the battleground states. . . . He’s even or doing better.”
— Jill Biden, Wednesday
We say: Sorry, Madame First Lady, but gaslighting won’t change the facts.
Per a Wall Street Journal poll this week, President Donald Trump leads in six battleground states by as much as six points; only Wisconsin is tied at 46%.
Apparently, the go-to Biden strategy — flip reality and hope folks buy it — isn’t fooling all of the people all of the time.
