Diary of disturbing disinformation and dangerous delusions
THIS CLAIM
“There is no evidence that Hunter Biden has received any kind of official favoritism in this prosecution for being Joe Biden’s son.”
— Rep. Jamie Raskin, Wednesday
We say: Was Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin unaware of the subject of Wednesday’s hearing, where he made this truth-denying claim?
It was to hear two IRS whistleblowers testify that Biden — and, by extension, his family, including the president — were indeed given special treatment.
Parts of their testimony have been backed up by an FBI agent on the case.
Does the congressman simply not count that, or any of the other mounting testimony and documentation, as “evidence”?
THIS HEADLINE
Floods, fires and deadly heat are the alarm bells of a planet on the brink
— Washington Post, July 13
We say: Planet on the brink? Those folks at WaPo surely must be living on a different planet than this one; Earth is not even close to any “brink.”
Indeed, even by the year 2100, climate change will barely slow the world’s rapid economic growth, per UN experts — and that’s even if we do nothing to stop it.
Of course, climate warriors have been screaming “the end is nigh” for some 40 years.
Their problem is that there’s no way now to be more alarmist.
THIS QUESTION
“How concerned are you that [Rep.] James Comer . . . was knowingly [or] unknowingly, working with, co-opted by a foreign agent?”
— MSNBC’s Jen Psaki, Sunday
We say: The lengths the left goes to in its pathetic bid to discredit evidence of Biden family corruption is simply stunning.
Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has been taking testimony and accumulating information to spotlight that corruption, so Psaki, the ex-White House press secretary, floats the wacky idea that he’s somehow in cahoots with “a foreign agent.”
It’s hard to get much lower than that.
THIS PRAISE
“[President Biden] is a person who respects other points of view.”
— Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Wednesday
We say: Oh, really? Try telling that to the people Biden tars as “ultra-MAGA extremists” and “semi-fascists,” (falsely) claiming they’re threatening democracy.
Or those he insults as “lying dog-faced pony soldiers.”
Or any of the countless other enemies he’s smeared with ugly lies, epithets and blatant disrespect.
