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.

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

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio
