Calling me a liar? Who dat be calling me a liar?

 

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.

My World and Welcome to It

     This post was last updated at 10:45 AM., Sunday, September 21. Latest entries are “A Comparison Not made,“ “An American Turning Point,” “A Mission from Gahd,” and “For Those in Hell,”  The Instapunk Times is hot off the presses. .. Undernet Black was updated September 21. This will be a pinned post in perpetuity, but it will be updated continuously, just like all of our lives. The title — “My World and Welcome to It” — is stolen happily from James Thurber, who is known as a humorist, unabashedly untrained cartoonist, and dog lover. He was also subject to melancholy, a drinker of note, and something of an outsider (in his own damaged eyes at least) as an Ohioan, born and educated, who became a fixture in the glamorous Algonquin Roundtable of Manhattan writers and playwrights. I can relate to all of that but the fame and the lifelong journey to blindness. I believe he was likely the best writer of the gang that gathered in the Algonquin Hotel in the 1930s, and I m...

For those in Hell

Image
  Yes, I’m writing this because of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. He was a good and brave man and I admired him. He was 31. Now he’s eternal. Since I am Christian and do believe in an afterlife, I am confident Charlie’s life has entered a new realm with new opportunities awaiting him. It is this to which I subscribe, as I believe many faithful do, not as susceptible as children to a constant heaven made of clouds and angels and long trumpets and hosannas to the One who cannot really be seen. If this makes me a blasphemer to some, I don’t care. Heaven as a gated community with a good view seems a limited and boring retirement from the excitements of life. To me anyway. Most of the problems people have with the concept of divinity are similarly small-minded and short-sighted. It’s human to keep trying to cut God and his domain down to size in ways that make him open to dealmaking or derision if that’s your preference.  Imagine that Heaven might be a roll your own kind of tr...

The Friday Follies, Indian Summer Edition

Image
You know, that age-old phenomenon of a sudden resurgence of hot weather after school starts… Yes, it’s been a hot week at home and abroad. Something(s) incendiary but instructive every single day. Not so unusual really. When you take the long view, every week brings us stuff that is hot and scary but also dumb as a Jimmy Kimmel joke. You know what I mean. You got to take time out to just laugh at some things. Like this past week. As bad as a lot of the news was, the silly still bubbles to the surface like a rueful chuckle. Our humor highlights this week come from reliable topics like religion, politics, race, money, and hats. That’s a combination that’s hard to beat. Most of the references are derived from FB posts, but reconfigured as convenient to be less informative than funny here. The weekend’s upon us. Who needs informative? Saturday, Sept 27 Bill Maher had an up and down week. He’s still torn between the divided religious household he grew up in and the secular solipsism he has ...

An American Turning Point, Part 1

Image
  This is not a subject we’ll be talking about every day. That’s why this post today. It’s a marker. You can come back here later to remember where things stood before Charlie Kirk was laid to rest. Everything will be different from now on, and this moment will be part of the subtext of what happens in other arenas where it’s not mentioned or regarded as relevant. As needed there will be Parts 2, 3, etc, but we’ll go on doing what we’ve always done here, talk about whatever we feel like talking about, by turns seriously and satirically, and when this particular subtext is relevant it will be noted by hyperlink, not renewed sermonizing. Yesterday, I posted the following at Facebook: The one big question that matters now... where exactly is the faultline in American conscience? How many to the left of the crack in our national soul and how many to the right? It was never going to be the case that the assassination of a major conservative political figure would meet with universal c...

The Sprained Mind of Rachel Maddow

Image
This is the follow-on to Monday’s post about the dire straits the Democrat Party now finds itself in. We were at pains to point out that the only hands capable of seizing the horns of the bull charging at the Progressive movement belong to Rachel Maddow. That bull is wearing the mantle of what used to be called “that old-time religion,” now revitalized with a heroic cape of youthful energy. Some facts that should be very concerning about the impact of the Kirk Memorial Service. Why somebody needed to take the reins and assert some visionary leadership over a Democrat Party that has been scoring nothing but fouls and foul-mouthed tantrums at the referees. Unlike most of her lefty colleagues, she was a star athlete in high school (and could have been in college if she hadn’t been outed as a Lesbian by the Stanford newspaper when she was a freshman). She knows about playing with pain. One of many reasons why Rachel Maddow was the best choice for assuming a strong, defining position o...

With my fortuneteller hat on…

  The big historical questions of “What will happen?” are usually best settled in hindsight. The biggest questions generally concern whether or not some historical catastrophe was inevitable or not. The American Civil War. World War I. World War II. Meticulous historians, back when we had them, have given us answers to those three in particular. Yes, yes, and yes. The one that bears the strongest resemblance to our current turning point is our own American Civil War.  The young constitutional republic had been born with a deadly contradiction at the heart of its founding documents, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. The reason for the contradiction was political compromise needed to secure sufficient nationwide support for the adoption of the Constitution. Slavery was a ticking time bomb from 1789 on. Eventually there would have to be a reckoning.  Was actual warfare inevitable though? Yes. North and South were unified by their shar...

Hands Across the Water, Hands Across the Sea

  People say the left has no heart. This is very far from the truth. They are full of love and empathy for everybody but the evil ones among us, and they are very Old Testament in their conceptions of Justice. They believe absolutely in the Death Penalty and Hell forever after, except for the ones who get oppressed by the evil ones for their color, ethnicity, gender choices, sexual promiscuity and perversity, body odors, excretory preferences, criminal propensities and other mental illnesses, and every form of weakness except being too small to live anywhere but inside a woman’s body, to which they have no right at all. With the exceptions noted, they love absolutely everybody equally, especially people who work for the government and famous rich people who agree with them about all of the above. Everybody acts like this is so hard to understand. It isn’t. It’s simple. You just have to have an eye for it. Know how to look for their heart and when they’re wearing it prominently on t...

Closing the Gap

Image
  It’s a long story that’s been through many vicissitudes, and only recently has reached a crisis point in the nation’s emotional stability. In the early days of the mass media age, women’s quest for respect from men led them to pursue intellectual accomplishment with lots of reading and whatnot. This led, understandably, to more women who needed glasses to be competitive at work and general mixed company. Sadly, one of the longest lived memes (before people knew they were memes) of that era was the Dorothy Parker quip above.  As women invaded television news in the media explosion of the late Twentieth Century, the invention of contact lenses made it possible for the biggest female stars of journalism to appear elegantly finished without attraction-diminishing spectacles. Nancy Dickerson, Barbara Walters, and Diane Sawyer managed to look both smart and glamorous. All eyes were upon them, even to the point of siring the term ‘nipslip.’ Why the incidence of women wearing eyegla...

The DNC Response to the Kirk Memorial

Image
This is only a thought starter, because there are still a lot of balls in the air on this thing, but time’s a’wasting. The funeral is today, but the Memorial Event yesterday at Arizona U. Stadium is simply not something the out-of-power party can ignore or pretend never happened. This is what it looked like: This wasn’t a Trump campaign rally at some basketball arena. This was a double decker football stadium, every seat filled, plus an arena across the street watching the proceedings on a Jumbotron, with still others  lined up outside. Many speakers and one brand new star in the firmament, Charlie Kirk’s widow, who is no retiring house mouse. Except that she brought down the house in Phoenix and promised to keep going from here on forever. No two ways about it. She stole the show, and the thunder, from everyone, including  Donald Trump. Which makes people believe, maybe for the first time, that MAGA  won’t end  with him. That should scare Dems from here to Ireland ...

The Comparison Not Made

Image
I chopped off the top of the graphic because it featured the name of the author and is irrelevant  here.  His name is H. Paul Jeffers. You can buy the book at Amazon. Might be a good read or reference. This was going to be longer. It was longer. Until Blogger ate about 2,000 words of my draft. I try to trust the universe when painful losses in writing occur. So I’m going to trust that not Blogger but the universe was telling me to present you with an idea that can be returned to late and amplified if I see that readers are seeking out this post as a topic of interest. I had a few main points. History is almost a dead discipline. Along with other studies in humanities it has been captured by ideologues and turned into a kind of political propaganda, not a search for truth and helpful perspective. All these historians who are building lists Best and Worst Presidents aren’t interested in examining the past with a fair and analyptical eye. They’re looking to use the past to promot...
