This tweet:
We are saying: CNN is doing its darnedest to assist President Biden and Democrats forward of the November midterms, arguing that based mostly on a median family consuming 90 gallons a month, the latest drop in fuel costs equates to a $100 month-to-month tax minimize from the federal government. But did CNN point out on the similar time that the spike in costs, from $2.42 when Biden took workplace to $5.03 in June, was like a $235-a-month ($2,820-a-year) tax hike, based mostly on that 90-gallon determine — excess of offsetting the $100 “minimize”? After all not.
This assertion:
“With out proof, the mayor [Eric Adams] has blamed the bail reform regulation for letting repeat offenders out of jail.”
— The New York Instances, Saturday
We are saying: Uh, it’s the Timesthat’s making that declare “with out proof.” If the paper truly took an curiosity within the metropolis (as a substitute of specializing in, say, the place Mayor Adams eats dinner), it'd’ve observed the limitless stream of recidivists being freed quickly after arrest, due to bail reform. Certainly, Adams has held pressers flagging NYPD information to again up his declare. And The Put up, too, has cited numerous examples — just like the intercourse fiend whose unprovoked sucker punch knocked out an harmless bystander. Or the man arrested 41 occasions left free to pummel a subway employee. Certainly, we flagged 10 profession criminals who alone racked up 500 arrests since “bail reform,” with most nonetheless out on the streets. A lot for “with out proof.”
Spot the distinction:
“[The president] doesn't have that energy [to cancel student debt].”
— Speaker Nancy Pelosi, July 28, 2021
“Now clearly, it appears he has the authority to [cancel student debt].”
— Pelosi, Tuesday
We are saying: Give Speaker Pelosi credit score for flexibility. Someday the president lacks the ability to cancel debt, the subsequent day he doesn’t. What modified? Nothing, besides President Biden’s resolution this week to purchase votes from progressives and faculty children by . . . forgiving their debt. If solely the remainder of us may change the foundations at any time when we wished.
This denial:
“I didn’t shut down something . . . I don’t suppose [the lockdowns] irreparably broken anybody.”
— Dr. Anthony Fauci, Tuesday
We are saying: If this man says it’s raining, you possibly can virtually wager there’s not a cloud within the sky. How can he now actually declare he “didn’t shut down something,” after personally bragging in 2020 about how he informed President Donald Trump to “shut the nation down”? How can he declare lockdowns didn’t “irreparably” damage anybody, when the USA suffered higher extra deaths per capita beneath lockdowns than nations, like Sweden, that resisted them and when US children misplaced months, if not years, of studying?
This alternate:
Reporter: Mr. President, is [student-loan forgiveness] unfair to individuals who paid their pupil loans or selected to not take out loans?
President Biden: Is it honest to individuals who in truth don't personal a multibillion-dollar enterprise in the event that they see considered one of these guys getting all of the tax breaks? Is that honest? What do you suppose?
We are saying: Ignore Biden’s butchered language, alongside together with his testiness. The president Wednesday truly tried to match his student-loan forgiveness (i.e., authorities handouts of as much as $20,000 to varsity college students to repay loans on the expense of different Individuals) to tax cuts (i.e., when the federal government agrees to swipe much less of individuals’s hard-earned money). It’s a transparent signal of the perverted manner Democrats suppose.
