The week in whoppers: Biden’s Saudi bunk, Pelosi’s inflation dodge and more

Diary of disturbing disinformation and harmful delusions

Flashback:

“The journey was not primarily for oil.” 

— President Biden, 10/6, on his Saudi go to

We are saying: Positive, a humiliated Biden claimedhe had different causes for his go to to the Saudis. However a Tuesday New York Instances exposé reveals he was merely mendacity, as “his prime aides thought that they had struck a secret deal to spice up oil manufacturing.” Guess that fist-bump with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, whose kingdom Biden as soon as vowed to make a “pariah,” was a bit of untimely. Oh, and extra gasoline inflation is on the best way as Biden refuses to alter course on home vitality (past his pathetic Strategic Petroleum Reserve releases). 


This demand:

Gov. Kathy Hochul claimed she will take a look at bail reform laws again.
Gov. Kathy Hochul claimed she wants extra information earlier than taking one other take a look at bail reform legal guidelines.

“We’re prepared to have a look at the legal guidelines once more, however let’s take a look at the info [on bail reform].”

— Gov. Kathy Hochul, Monday

We are saying: The Unintentional Governor has proven she’s not prepared to “take a look at the legal guidelines once more.” She made a bunch of meaningless tweaks to our criminal-justice “reforms” and known as it a day (lest she offend the Legislature Democrats whose assist she wanted for her Buffalo Payments giveaway and slush funds). And she or he clearly by no means seems to be on the information, which present unambiguously that bail reform is a crime-driving catastrophe. She simply retains pretending she is going to.


This tweet:

We are saying: Outstanding Vox Media tech journalist Kara Swisher flat-out stated that claims Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman was fighting speech and cognition had been “nonsense.” However Fetterman’s painful efficiency at Tuesday’s debate proved the reverse. So Swisher’s phrases stink to excessive heaven. 


This declare:

Speaker Nancy Pelosi said "cost of living" and not inflation is the real problem for the midterm elections.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi stated “price of residing” and never inflation is the actual challenge within the midterm elections.
AP

“The combat isn't about inflation, it’s about the price of residing.”

— Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Sunday

We are saying: The price of residing IS inflation. And the combat she means — the midterms — is 100% about inflation, which comes up in ballot after ballot after ballot as voters’ No. 1 challenge. With good cause: The insurance policies Pelosi has backed have pushed inflation to historic highs and crushed common People. Her unhappy effort at hairsplitting is a weak bid to deflect consideration from a raging financial conflagration by stating the sparks it’s throwing off. 


This column:

A Washington Post column claimed that the midterm elections are a "referendum" for democracy in both the US and Ukraine.
A Washington Submit column claimed that the GOP being victorious within the midterm elections “is how democracies die.”

We are saying: Writing in Monday’s Washington Submit, foreign-affairs wonk Max Boot says: “That is how democracies die, each at residence and overseas.” Actually, Max? Democracies die from folks voting their most well-liked candidates into workplace through record-breaking turnout? Gee, we thought that’s what democracy is
