Karine Jean-Pierre's lies are piling up. Joe Biden's lies are piling up, too

Karine Jean-Pierre's multiple blatant lies are starting to pile up. These aren't little white lies. These are whoppers about national and international importance. The WSJ highlights some of the whoppers that KJP has told about the status of the debt ceiling.

The WSJ editorial highlights KJP as saying "House Republicans are holding our economy hostage and threatening default. As the President said yesterday, he’s happy to meet with Speaker McCarthy, but not on whether or not the debt limit gets extended. That is not negotiable."

KJP is insinuating that House Republicans have done nothing about lifting the debt ceiling. That's a steaming pile of BS. KJP knows that. Biden knows it, too. When asked about negotiating with Speaker McCarthy, Biden replied "I'm happy to meet with McCarthy but not on whether or not the debt limit gets extended."

That's stunning. Both mindless bots said the same thing. Both hinted that House Republicans hadn't done anything. It's frightening to think that Democrats think it's ok to lie about something this important. Democrats, not Republicans, are playing chicken with lifting the debt ceiling. Republicans have acted. Democrats haven't lifted a finger. Despite that, Joe Biden said "They [Republicans] haven't figured out the debt limit yet. What a smartaleck.

This report is informative:

At the end of the report, PBS reports that "Federal spending increased by about 50% between FY2019 and FY2021." That's according to the U.S. Treasury Department. That isn't just an spending increase. That's an astronomical spending increase. It might be the first time in U.S. history that spending jumped that much during peacetime.

If Joe Biden isn't willing to admit that he's the biggest part of the problem and that House and Senate Democrats are the other big part of the overspending problem, then we're heading over a financial cliff. The Fed won't be able to raise interest rates fast enough to get ahead of the Democrat-induced inflation that they're still creating. This says everything:

What part of divided government and bicameral legislature doesn’t the President understand? Perhaps he’s still under the illusion that he can refuse to negotiate and cause Republicans to panic as the debt deadline looms. No doubt the press corps will try to give him cover.
House Republicans passed a bill that avoids default. People with a functioning brain understands the leverage switch. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out. Joe Biden should even be able to figure that out. This makes things interesting, too:
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer needs at least nine GOP votes to pass any debt limit increase, and that means he needs help from GOP leader Mitch McConnell. With the House vote in his back pocket, Mr. McConnell isn’t going to provide those votes for free, even if he had the power to do so on his own.
Let the serious negotiating begin.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Image
Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
