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.

Concerning the 250th Anniversary of Our Nation

Image
Happy Independence Day No. 250!  I’m planning to do my part for the year-long celebration of the still remarkable birth of the United States of America. Just starting to realize that the number of us who remember the last big anniversary in 1976 is getting smaller every day. Why I have some special ideas about focusing on the moment of transition, that is the tick of the clock last night when the 249th year became the 250th. A kind of time capsule that may be buried now but dug up later to see who were way back when you were still as young as you think you are now. My credentials for the job. Quite a few actually, but the most important one today is that I was a working participant in the official Bicentennial celebrations back when I was still young. I wrote a post about it almost 10 years ago, ancient history in today’s 24/7 chronometer dial.  In honor of the ones no longer with us from that time, I dug up the old post from the Wayback Machine and put it back together here a...

This is cross-posted from a confidential site I use to communicate with an old friend on matters more concerned with writing than this one normally is. Sometimes the two sites intersect in unexpected ways. (e.g., See The French Hurry-Up from Feb ‘26.) This does seem an appropriate follow-up to my most recent IPR post. Up to you what you make of it… Inevitably, another major commitment of my time called Instapunk Returns will occasionally stick its nose into the doings here. Working on both, I’m sometimes forced to ask myself how I got from Point A to Point XXX as I seem to have done yesterday at IPR. Specifically, how did I manage to get from here… Yes, I did ‘Shapes’ at graduation, but we all learned our ABCs too. …to  here ? The concluding flourish of my latest IPR screed,  Thoughts on Foul Language I put the Little Red Hen Nursery School in the same context with the song  abcdefu  because we all have an important personal timeline with respect to the alphabet.

Birthday Fun

Image
The last group photo I’m a part of that’s still in my possession. My sister’s  wedding in the late1990’s, with me and my mother in attendance, here in Salem. I don’t get out much anymore. Haven’t for a long time. If I didn’t take pictures of myself, nobody would, or could, anymore. I don’t give them the chance. Why in recent years I’ve made a point of doing an official birthday selfie, to keep track of the wear and tear of the years and see if the falling apart process is gaining speed. This year was not a good year for hair. That much I’ll tell you. But here’s the Official 74th Birthday Selfie I took on Friday. Not as young as I used to be. I hadn’t really shown this pic to anyone, but imagine my surprise when I received a gift yesterday by parcel delivery from a young lady I helped raise who will always be close to my heart. She and I hadn’t spoken about the Rolling Stones in years, but somehow she must have divined I’d been thinking of them, because here’s what she ordered sent ...

Trump 2.0 — A Movie We’ve Seen Before

Image
If you’ve never seen an Asylum production of their “Saving the World from Imminent Destruction” series, you’re excused from this post. The rest of us already know the basics. A once prominent, now disgraced scientist (often Sam Baldwin, but not always) is minding his own business making a living income and trying to mend his struggling family life when he notices that something is seriously amiss in the cosmos. Gravity isn’t working quite right. Or all the birds seem to be migrating at the same time. Or some local pond suddenly ejaculates a pillar of lava. You know. The warning knell of an extinction-level catastrophe. Meanwhile, where are the kids? They were supposed to be home by now. He calls his ex-wife. She doesn’t know where they are. He calls an old colleague at the agency in DC where nobody else will take his calls anymore. In a whisper, the colleague tells him the experts in charge haven’t noticed anything to worry about cosmologically speaking. This far in, we already know wh...

Seventh Heaven for Hamilton

Image
  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.

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...

A Few Thoughts on Foul Language

Image
  A cartoon stolen from ****ing Alarmy, who always watermark their stuff There comes a time when you realize some critical cultural variable has reached the kind of tipping point that transforms into chaos. I recently realized one of these tipping points has been reached when the streaming services, desperate for new product in the vacuum left by their failed woke productions, suddenly dumped a bunch of theatrical releases and straight to video movies from the years 2023 and 2024 on their platforms. I watch a lot of movies on streaming services, but I quickly learned not to watch anything dated ‘23 or ‘24. Too much gender confusion nonsense, too much (un)veiled lefty politicking about this and that, but most of all, way way too much foul language. I’d long had a rule that more than 10 F-bombs in 5 minutes was a signal to bail from any movie. Now I knew that this low bar couldn’t be met by the overwhelming majority of movies from the past few years. I’m not a prig. I probably hold ...

The Treason Layer of Elite Rulers of the United State

Image
The CHYOS Club  (Pronounced kīos, abbreviated ‘kos, meaning MR ) American Illuminati? We’ve all heard the legends of secret societies. The Renaissance story of the ‘Illuminati’ who rule the world as gray eminences behind the scenes is a legend unsupported by facts or, at any rate, evidence. We also know of outright hoaxes widely believed in, like the Priory of Sion made famous by admittedly fictitious Dan Brown novels and movies. But we also know that there are secret societies at every level of elite life. Who hasn’t heard dark whispers of Yale’s Skull & Bones, numbering the Bushes and John Kerry as members? At the international level, the Freemasons are a proven fact, even if their Illuminati-like influence is only widely believed in the UK, with its historical paranoia about Scotland, where freemasonry re-emerges as a follow-on to the Knights Templar. Great fun, mostly. Who doesn’t thrill to news about Bill schmoozing in the dark at the Bilderberger Group? Conspiracy? All t...

My Ghost Prevention Plan

Image
  The Valley of the Jerseyikes When you’ve decided to your own satisfaction that life doesn’t end with physical death, what have you got to worry about? That probably depends on where you come down on the age-old questions about ghosts. Do they exist? Are they a possible fate of troubled souls after they’ve shuffled off this mortal coil or been yanked out of it too suddenly? What if you expire peacefully and find yourself waking up in the attic of your own house, somehow tethered to it with no watch you can trust to keep track of time? I know I’ve stopped wearing a watch at all, like almost all of you out there. Are we taking some kind of risk that we’ll miss the departure signal for the trip to the other side? One side effect of getting old and not liking most of what’s on teevee is that you wind up watching too many paranormal shows, which have the virtue of no politics, no gratuitous sex scenes, and extended stretches of restful watching with almost nothing happening on screen. ...
