In a 1977 release, the Talking Heads included a lyric in one of their songs that somehow foresaw the approach to be employed by White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre (KJP): “You’re talking a lot, but you’re not saying anything.”
In the view of many observers, the daily double-talk from the White House podium by KJP came on like a come-on from a carnival barker: instead of presenting straightforward, unvarnished truths from the briefing room lectern, listeners were subjected to a daily diet of kaleidoscope logic.
The main reason her versions of events worked for as long as they did was that the briefing room was populated by a band of willing accomplices, happily lapping up the White House spokesperson’s blather. Based on years of softball questions that the White House legacy media corps put forth, it was apparent that the majority of the reporters were content to run with KJP’s falsehoods in order to maintain their access to “unnamed, high level Administration sources.”
How could this be? The legacy news organizations operated on one unspoken assumption: there were not many scholars among their readers or viewers who ruminated on Socrates’s time-tested maxim that “the only true wisdom is in knowing that you know nothing.”
Consequently, KJP and the White House press corps made bank on the general public not weighing how much they did not know and what was being omitted. But American news consumers, after years of confronting reality in their daily lives, experienced enormous living cost increases and faced massive spikes in crime. As a result, they were not inclined to wave off the daily White House gaslighting when it came time to vote.
Here are some of KJP’s most egregious examples that turned many casual political observers into vigorous President Trump supporters:

There may not be as many legacy journalists in the press room. Talk of podcasts and radio shows having access should make Jim Acosta types think twice. They can be replaced, and will scream bloody murder when they are.
Her primary, most valued (by the Democrat/Communist Party) attribute is not her ability to "spin the truth", it is her ability to overcome completely any shred of an inate sense of honesty, integrity and morality that may exist within her, a skill that has allowed her to "spin the truth" and to lie convincingly.
No doubt any sense of shame over how she has behaved over the past several years that may haunt her she easily dismisses with either of the popular excuses:
"What I did was based on 'good intentions'" and
"I was just doing my job".
And I would be equally unsuprised if Trumps incarnation of press briefings sees disruptors like Acosta unceremoniously booted.

The little black Shirley Temple Moppet is headed straight for the big time MSM....likely higher up that Jen Psaki. Count on it.
Karine Jean-Pierre will write a book, and it will be a best seller.
I’m going to miss the Cabbage Patch kid.
Cabbage patch kid say bye bye.....
We waiting for the picture? 😂. I know it’s out there I just don’t have it.
“unvarnished truths from the briefing room lectern”
Extra points for not calling the lectern a podium...
The DEI look has never been a good look. It’s a plastic society with it’s various plastic people. Little plastic playthings positioned as ordinary people serving as models of mediocrity for the masses. How nice! /s
It’s only fitting that Statler had a spokesmuppet.
The author tries to sum up what happened in Oregon, but the underlying details expose the depth of the matter in the state:
Oregon DMV officials waited SIX WEEKS before notifying SOS of the ‘motor voter’ debacle having registered illegals and, by consequence, who were also mailed ballots.
The state is as corrupt as they come and leftists - PLUS the centrists which vote with that cabal - fully support it.
I’m hoping the new secretary has a lower pitched voice.
So my hearing aids don’t peak like they do with a screecher.
From DEI to anti- politically correct…. Straight white lady from New Hampshire…. OH the humanity…. LOL
“The fundamental issue around the idea that anyone should be exempt from being held accountable for crimes committed, regardless of what position you hold in the United States of America, is something that I know Americans also feel very strongly about.”
You’d think that these words would have stirred some niggling unease in her shriveled blackened heart. Demons are stupid.
Good riddance to Buckwheat. Normally one such as she would slide into a gig at MSNBC. That may not be an option now.
She might be qualified to fill the janitor slot at MSNBC. I am guessing no mechanical aptitude so she could not do maintenance or anything else.
