Diary of disturbing disinformation and dangerous delusions
This claim:
“[Iran, Hezbollah, and Russia] are far weaker today than they were when I took office.”
— President Biden, Sunday
We say: Pure gaslighting.
Iran and Hezbollah launched relentless attacks on Israel and Russia invaded Ukraine because Biden broadcast major weakness.
They’reweaker now onlybecause Israel ignored Biden’s constant calls to go easy on the terrorists.
Biden is trying to salvage his legacy with bald-faced lies.
His exit can’t come soon enough.
This assertion:
“If you are a woman working for the Department of Defense, you have a right to be in a panic.”
— Ana Navarro, Monday
We say: Has fearmongering ever been so literal?
Navarro’s claiming Trump Defense pick Pete Hegseth is a cause for DOD women to “panic.”
This is the same man who’s said: “Some of our greatest warriors, our best warriors out there, are women.”
Scare tactics are the only thing keeping The View in business at this point, but this one is pure delusion.
This fact-check:
“There is no evidence of a migrant-driven crime wave in the U.S., and crime broadly is down.”
— NBC News, Sunday
We say:No evidence?
Cops in sanctuary cities like New York aren’t allowed to track whether a suspect is an illegal immigrant, which is convenient for defenders of Biden’s open borders.
But NBC is ignoring the spread of Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua to 17 different states, the brutal murders of Americans like Laken Riley and Jocelyn Nungaray and the rise of violent teen gangbangers in neighborhoods like Times Square.
We’d call that evidence.
This statement:
“Perhaps no one is more to blame for [Americans not trusting the FBI] than Mr. Trump himself, who’s baselessly accused the bureau of conducting ‘witch hunts’ against him.”
— NBC’s Ken Dilanian, Wednesday
We say: Biden’s FBI and Department of Justice have been waging an all-out war on Trump since his first term, with RussiaGate, the unprecedented, over-the-top raid on Mar-a-Lago and everything in between.
Americans know a political hit job when they see one; that’s why trust in the FBI has tanked. Not Trump pointing out the partisan rot.
