The agreed upon number of lies Trump has told is 30,000.
Gonna do this out of order for a change. Here were MSNBC’s most glamorous couple yesterday…
Joe is clearly shocked and crestfallen.
Most significantly, perhaps, he was outraged that time after time, Biden failed to expose Trump lies about everything from the out-of-control border, the out-of-control inflation in the necessities of life, the expenditure of billions on a foreign war with no stated mission or objectives, the catastrophically costly and unplanned exit from Afghanistan, and the runaway crime wave caused by illegal migrants for whom statistics can’t be determined because we don’t know who and where they are and no one reports crimes to a police department that doesn’t show up because prosecutors don’t want to hear about it. The falsehoods, the lies, are the most important thing because what the two Joe’s revere the most is the Truth, and every Trump lie about the state of a perfectly run Presidency is a dagger to the soul.
We — and others, truthfully — do have some questions about this clip…
It was only a few weeks ago at most that Joe Scarbrow recorded this touching paean to one of the greatest Presidencies and greatest Presidents in the whole history of American Democracy. What happened in the interim? Did Biden accidentally free-fall 30,000 feet from Air Force 1 during his period of shuttling back and forth between European state dinners and Hunter’s criminal trial? Or was the adulatory clip maybe exaggerated somewhat, or even borrowed from the ecstatic echo chamber of other Biden footsoldiers? If so, is there another story about falsehoods, and even lies, that underpin every devastated reaction by the Team. I mean were they lying about Biden then, or are they lying about their stunned and stricken surprise now?
Why would notoriously left-leaning SNL have considered the massive Democratic
endorsement of Biden’s mental acuity over-the-top enough to spoof it so thoroughly?
To be clear, the skit shown above was produced and aired before the Debate Disaster. The inspiration was a number of video compilations making the rounds on the Internet featuring testimonials to Biden’s awesome mental brilliance by politicians, cabinet members, media hosts, and cable news analysts.
The reason I’m showing you the SNL clip here is that since the Debate it appears that all the video medleys of such laudatory sound bites about the President no longer show up in the dozens of different keyword searches I have conducted. Zip, Zero, Zilch. Except for the Scarbrow clip above, which I find (frankly) suspect, in that I doubt very much that the two Joe’s have ever hung out together much.
I think I’ll close this story of puzzling contradictions with a return to the incredibly redundant total of 30,000 lies told by Donald Trump. My question would be this: when they updating the total of Trump “lies” do they meticulously go back and remove the ones that turned out to be true days, months, or years later?
FOR EXTRA CREDIT, VIA BREITBART NEWS: Here is a documented list of hoaxes that have sailed uncritically through the mass media in recent years, including the alphabet news networks, PBS, NPR, MSNBC, CNN, the NYT, The Washington Post, and all the other print/electronic publications that rewrite the headlines provided by the two most rabidly progressive newspapers. Could it be that Mr. and Mrs. Mika, Rachel Madcow, Joy Ruud, Jake Tweaker, Nicolle Walrus, and other lefty mouthpieces have included as Trump lies his repeated denunciations of all these hoaxes as they were being turned into twisted Internet memes? If they forgot to do this, their count is off. Way off.
What follows is drawn from a Breitbart post by John Nolte, called How CNN Cut Its Own Throat. Read it and then go try to wash the blood off your own conscience…

FTA: <<What CNNLOL has done, ever since the arrival of Jeff Zucker in 2013 (Zucker was fired in disgrace in 2022), is checkmate itself.
By going hard-left; by becoming smug, unappealing hall-monitoring scolds; for attacking Normal People as racists and bigots for being Normal, and, of course, for this…
CNN alienated everyone in America who’s not hard-left, who doesn’t hate Normal People, and who can’t stand being serially lied to. In other words, CNN checkmated itself into a corner with only an itsy-bitsy base of remaining viewers. And according to the latest figures, that base is fewer than a half-million viewers.>>

UPDATE!!! Found this clip, which includes a segment showing the real people who inspired the SNL skit above.
How this post came to be. Saw this promo from the wrecked icon called the New Yorker and was reminded of a post put up here some months ago: Why didn’t I crop out the squatting woman? Truth in advertising. That’s not true, actually. In fact, it’s a lie. I wouldn’t have stumbled on this lovely screenshot if it weren’t for an image I’d used in a Facebook post some days before: You won’t believe this, but while Iwas posting the pic just above, my wife showed me her ROFL pic from the The Babylon Bee… …Which is obviously directly relevant to the rantings of the Glasser person who thinks everything Trump has ever done or will do is a mortal sin against the Manhattan scripture called The New Yorker. Don’t get me wrong. I used to love The New Yorker. Then they surrendered it to the Smart Women, under the subscription-shrinking stewardship of Tina Brown, whose legacy has led gradually to the dollar-a-copy pitch shown in the first graphic above. Today’s mag looks a like the old one, but tha...
We, of course, were as offended as anyone by the President’s evident pleasure in being depicted as Creator of the Universe. His later insistence that it was just a plate of food that happened to have blond hair was disingenuous to say the least. There. That’s out of the way. Putting aside all the bluster about blasphemy by secular observers whose relation to religion is probably a checkbox item, I believe there is a real story lurking in all the feigned outrage. a neon flash of double standards. It’s a media story, probably meaningless to those who aren’t ancient enough to have witnessed Obama’s first year in office. He was kind of everywhere, on every news interview program, every newspaper headline, and every magazine cover. (For the youngsters in the audience, there used to be things called magazines with words and pictures in them. It was a big deal to be featured on their covers.) If you weren’t a big Obama fan — and maybe even if you were — this got to be kind of sickening a...
It strikes me now and again. Can’t help it. Just try to control it… I’ve only done one thing: That’s all. I swear. Okay. Couldn’t help it. But’s that’s all. Really. I was working on my long postponed post about the best movies in the first 25 years of the 21st Century when this overpowering sense of ennui overcame me, and dissing the movies suddenly struck me as more important than debunking the big lies mass media tells about itself. Working my way through it… P.S. An old friend just checked in with an enhancement of my comic cover that blows mine out of the water. Couldn’t resist sharing it with you all. ________________________ Below the Fold What I had of the new/old post I was trying to finish: Keeping My Promise about the Best 21st Century Movies It’s that time of the year when movies are back in the news more than usual. The recent Oscars broadcast was chiefly notable for its record-low viewership, inane political rhetoric from the podium, and a crop of...
Lewis Hamilton wins Seventh World Championship at Formula 1 Grand Prix in Turkey: A stunning drive from Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton in the Turkish Grand Prix gave him his 10th victory of the season – and, more crucially, saw him claim the seventh drivers’ title of his career, to equal the record of Michael Schumacher, as Racing Point’s Sergio Perez and Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel completed the podium after a thrilling race in Istanbul. Hamilton had started the race in sixth, risen to third midway through the first lap and then dropped back to sixth by the end of Lap 1 after an error at Turn 9. But a decision to change his intermediate tyres just once saw Hamilton drive a masterful race to claim victory by over 25 seconds from Perez. The win alone was enough to claim championship #7, but it was even more assured after a disastrous race for Valtteri Bottas - the only man who could have stopped Hamilton winning the title today - who spun six times en route to a P14 finish.
Haven’t been here for a while. Cooling my heels on maybe half a dozen posts for which I have content materials assembled and the writing just awaiting the typing I don’t feel like doing against the relentless pass rush of AutoCorrect/AI. Stranded, I guess. My principal emotion is akin to what I felt back in 2019, when I took a year off from this site because who can write about dread every day? Like then, my mind is telling me the Dark Age is upon us because we don’t deserve to be saved from the fate our enemies intend for us. They’re brain-damaged sociopaths; a near majority of us are just brain-damaged. Good guys and bad guys both done in by appalling lack of education and undeveloped consciousness skills at foreseeing consequences from a Universe-of-One perspective. I don’t like gas prices at the pump, I don’t like the way Trump talks so mean, and the Iran thing I just don’t get, so I won’t vote this time. Fine. We get what we deserve as a nation. That’s the real American Way. No ot...

*I’ve* never even had one of these. I’ll leave this one for one of you guys. Plenty of time to get this before Christmas. Here’s the EBay proffer for what’s called the ‘Pinback Button.’ The cute graphic treatment even includes the pin side. It you actually want to read a physical book that you can hold in your hands, put on your shelf, or give to some friend or family member who’d like to understand what happened to the Great American Experiment you can find a copy quite easily, still in time for Christmas, via the following retailers and others. Just search the ‘Shopping’ tab at Google for “The Boomer Bible” and you’ll find it. (If you’re viewing this on a tablet, you can read this graphic more easily by clicking on the pic and turning your device 90 deg counterclockwise.) I don’t make any money from your purchases obviously, but I feel like I’m doing a public service in showing you what’s out there. For example, here’s something that’s out there I hadn’t actually found till yesterday...
A good catch by my wife is what started all this. As is our usual habit, we were watching something on TV older than the foul-mouthed, stunt-casted contemporary dreck when it rolled over into another older show called Grimm . I had heard of the series, maybe even seen some of it when it ran originally, and so we gave it a go. In the opening sequence our protagonist sees a young blonde on the sidewalk and as he watches her pretty face changes momentarily into a twisted monster version of her. Then it disappears and she goes to her car and drives away. That’s the premise of a show that ran for six years starting in 2011. The man who sees the transformation is, unbeknownst to him, a descendant of the famous Brothers Grimm who hunted down the monsters found in fairy tales. Here’s the scene I was able to capture later: Clumsy screen grab. Sorry. Don’t tell anybody. When the blonde woman did her quick change and vanishing act, my wife laughed and said, “Who knew that Pam Bondi started ...
