Daily Broadside | The Lying Liars Know We Know They’re Lying And They Don’t Care

Daily Verse | Mark 7:8
“You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men.”

Friday’s Reading: Mark 8-10
Saturday’s Reading: Mark 11-13

Friday and the end of another week. When we reconnect on Monday, we’ll be on the back half of October already.

One of the reasons I loathe the Democrats is their propensity for lying. It reminds me of what Jesus said about the devil: “When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies” (John 8:44). Lying comes as naturally to Democrats as breathing.

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas backed up the Biden administration’s narrative last year that Border Patrol agents whipped Haitian migrants even after he knew the narrative was false, according to emails obtained by the Heritage Foundation and reported by Fox News.

DHS assistant secretary Marsha Espinosa alerted Mayorkas on Sept. 24, 2021, to a news article that said the photographer who took the images did not see any whips. “Espinosa highlighted the comments from the photographer where he directly says he did not witness any whipping,” Fox noted.

Mayorkas that same day nevertheless decided to join a Biden administration press conference that pushed the debunked narrative, and he even went so far as to call the images “horrifying” and an example of “systemic racism.” President Joe Biden, meanwhile, made a whipping motion with his hand as he said the photographs depicted “people being strapped.”

This isn’t an “unforced error” or some innocent misinterpretation of photographs. This was a deliberate hoax employed to reinforce and further the narrative that the US is irredeemably racist. As the NY Post puts it, Mayorkas must go: He smeared border agents despite knowing they hadn’t whipped migrants.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has to go. In a bombshell revelation, the Heritage Foundation obtained emails showing his own staff told him last year that reports of border agents whipping migrants near Del Rio, Texas, were false — before he went to the White House and publicly smeared his own agents as racists anyway.

Mayorkas flat-out lied. Just two hours after being informed the very photographer who captured the viral Sept. 19, 2021, pictures of mounted Border Patrol officers confronting Haitian migrants said no whipping occurred, he declared: “Our nation saw horrifying images that do not reflect who we are. We know that those images painfully conjured up the worst elements of our nation’s ongoing battle against systemic racism.” 

This is an impeachable offence. We can’t have a peaceable and ordered society when those in charge deliberately corrupt the truth.

But as an executive I once worked for said, “Speed of the leader, speed of the team.” Here’s Brandon flat-out lying that we aren’t in a recession even though we are very clearly in a recession.

He and his whole illegitimate administration are trying to gaslight their way through the miserable state of affairs they’ve forced on the whole nation.

Let’s not forget his fabulism over his son Beau. President Biden incorrectly told an audience in Colorado on Wednesday that his late son Beau “lost his life in Iraq.” His son died in May 2015 at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md.

His entire Residency is a lie. 81 million votes, the most ever in history, for this shambling poser!

Right.

It’s no wonder that trust in our government is now below 50 percent across all three branches of government.

A recent Gallup poll shows that less than 50% of Americans have trust in either of the three branches of government — President, Congress, Supreme Court — and that this marks the “first time that none of the three branches is trusted by a majority of Americans” …

For the Judicial Branch, 47% said they had trust in the institution; the Executive Branch only earned 43% trust; and only 38% of those surveyed said they had trust in the Legislative Branch. 

This isn’t the sole doing of the Democrats; Republicans rightly share blame for the lack of trust in our government. But the Democrats are shamelessly lying and don’t even try to hide it anymore.

We see what you’re doing. You know we see what you’re doing. And we know that you know that we know.

Why do we put up with this?

Have a good weekend.

Daily Broadside | Biden Fiddles with Semantics While the Economy Burns

Daily Verse | Isaiah 15:27
For the Lord Almighty has purposed, and who can thwart him?

Wednesday’s Reading: Isaiah 17-20

Happy Wednesday, my friends.

Silly.

That’s the word that comes to mind as I consider the gyrations that the current administration will go through to avoid taking any responsibility for the circumstances we find ourselves in. The latest twist by Resident Gumby is to redefine the longstanding definition of “recession.”

It is widely expected based on available data that the report from the Bureau of Economic Analysis on Thursday will show that the country’s real gross domestic product shrank again in the second quarter of 2022. That will be the second quarter in a row of negative growth, which means it will come with the additional determination that the United States has been in a recession since January.

This prospect has the Biden administration in a comical sort of falling-all-over-themselves panic. That’s because President Joe Biden’s defenders are now attempting to massage the definition of “recession” so that the current economic contraction no longer qualifies.

Never mind that the term “recession” has referred to two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth each of the last ten times we’ve experienced it.

But Brandon and his Council of Economic Advisors are trying to get ahead of Thursday’s numbers, which are expected to show that the economy contracted again in the second quarter. That’s why the White House published a blog post that is meant to sow doubt on what a recession really is.

The gambit is so transparently obvious that you have to wonder who they’re writing this stuff for—the average American, who knows better, or the Left’s base, who cheer any semblance of a rational answer to the corners they keep backing themselves into.

As I say, it’s silly. But it’s also Orwellian. The cultural Marxists are corrupting our language in a bid to hide the destruction they are wreaking on the country. It’s been going on at least since William Jefferson Clinton said, “It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is.”

The bottom line is that Americans on both sides of the aisle aren’t going to buy what Brandon is selling. We feel the effects of inflation and frankly, we don’t care whether we’re in a recession or not. Right now, everything is too expensive, and the squatter in the White House is to blame.
