Victor Davis Hanson: The Lies We Have Lived Through
American Greatness ^ | 1 Jul, 2024 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 07/01/2024 4:32:30 AM PDT by MtnClimber

“You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.” — Often attributed to Abraham Lincoln.

After last Thursday’s debate, Biden himself laid to rest the Democratic lie that he was robust and in control of his faculties. In truth, he demonstrated to the nation that he is a sad, failing octogenarian who could not perform any job in America other than apparently the easy task of President of the United States and Commander-in-Chief in charge of our nuclear codes.

In 2019, Democratic primary candidates often hit rival Joe Biden for his apparent senior moments and incoherence. During the 2020 campaign, Biden often became in bizarre fashion animated and nasty (“you ain’t black”/“fat”/“lying dog-faced pony soldier”/“junkie”).

His “corn pop” stories were grotesque and had a senile accentuation of his earlier “super-predator” and “clean” black riffs. As president, his mental decline progressed geometrically, in the sense that every three months, Biden became far, far worse than during the prior 90 days. His handlers long ago had determined that masking his feebleness at the expense of the security and safety of the nation was a small price to pay to retain power.

What followed was the most comprehensive deceit in presidential history, analogous to insisting that frail and dying FDR in 1944 was just fine as the November election approached or that Woodrow Wilson was expertly running the country as he lay bedridden and near comatose.

Any who questioned the vigorous Biden narrative was trashed as “ageist.” Special counsel Robert Hur was dubbed a “hack” for accurately describing Biden as so amnesiac he would win nullification acquittal from a sympathetic jury.

I am afraid Hillary will fly in on her broom to “save our democracy”.

And all our so-called allies kept the secret for our Deep State.

All of them.

Wonderful article by VDH. He nails it, especially with the observation the lies will continue: .. until they (US voters) tune out a bankrupt media, the power cord of the entire Pravda enterprise.

Yes, and like FDR’s and Wilson’s accomplices, none will be held accountable for perpetuating this enormous fraud on America. The corruption of Washington is so entrenched and profound that everyone there just accepts it as normal. Quite a damning indictment of our national government.

We had already tuned out the enemedia.

Deep States, plural, have to steal elections for good reason.

What "allies" are you talking about? Foreign leaders?

Lots of people "revealed" the "secret". Many "blew the whistle".

The old Media were able to keep the lie going and most people deluded.

The old Media used the last shreds of their credibility to keep Biden in office.

The old Media have destroyed themselves, and it will result in a much better nation.

Who doesn’t appreciate some well constructed sarcasm?

Anybody with a few functioning neurons knew years ago.

Cite me one story in the enemedia that blew the whistle on the fact that Deep State installed the POTATUS because they knew he had dementia.

“ I am afraid Hillary will fly in on her broom to “save our democracy.”

Personally that’s exactly what I’m hoping for. America is sick to death of that witch.

One of the angrier and more succinct pieces by Mr. Hanson. It represents a breed of people who increasingly realize the Democrats and media don’t adhere to rules or decency.

You are agreeing with me. Thank you. The enemedia fits the term.

There were plenty in alternative media who were blowing the whistle.

VDH: “In the bargain, Joe and Jill enjoyed the privileges of power and status, while they farmed out the presidency to an array of former Obama subordinates and the hard left of what is left of the old Democratic Party.”

Excellent executive summary of the Biden administration by VDH.

Fine article but one quibble:

The October surprise laptop disinformation lie may have cost Trump the 2020 election.

Many of here understand that the rampant vote-tabulation cheating is actually what decided the 2020 election.

good ol’ Joe from Scranton,’ serving as the pseudo-moderate veneer for the most far left agenda in recent history

In recent history?! It is the most far left ever. Nothing before, including the Obola terms, is even close.

Brit Hume, just before the election.

He is the only one that I know of.
