Representative LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) said Monday on CNN’s “The Lead” that “everything” President Donald Trump says is a lie. When discussing Newark Mayor Ras Baraka’s arrest at the Delaney Hall Detention Center last week, McIver said, “Along with Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman and Congressman Rob Menendez from New Jersey, we decided to show up at this facility to conduct an oversight visit.” Host Jake Tapper said, “What do you say to the DHS spokesman’s claim of body slamming?”

Chuck Todd has finally admitted the corporate media would rather lie to the public than report a truth that might help President Donald Trump. We are in a fascinating age where those who aided and abetted the cover-up of Joe Biden’s painfully obvious mental and physical deterioration are now telling the truth while pretending they had nothing to do with the cover-up. When you watch this, remember… They were ALL in on it.

Representative Adam Smith (D-WA) said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Ana Cabrera Reports” that President Donald Trump is telling the American people an “absolute lie” that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is about making the federal government more efficient. Smith said, “If we identify what Trump and Musk are doing as what it is, which is basically trying to smash the federal government so that they can have greater power and control, this has nothing to do with efficiency and effectiveness. You line up 100 CEOs in the country and say, ‘Is this the way you run your business if you...

Me: What are the chances ss is not taxable under trump? Trump has promised to eliminate federal taxes on Social Security benefits2. If he succeeds, it could mean more money in retirees' pockets. However, this change faces significant hurdles and could impact Social Security's funding. So, while it's a possibility, it's not a certainty yet. What do you think about this potential change? Me: How does not taxing SS as income affect SS funding? That makes no sense. Not taxing Social Security benefits could impact the program's funding because those taxes contribute to the Social Security Trust Funds. Without this...

Governor Andy Beshear (D-KY) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that there was no lie too big for former President Donald Trump or his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH). Partial transcript as follows: MARTHA RADDATZ: A lot of hard work ahead. I’d like to hear a quick reaction to what you heard J.D. Vance talk about. BESHEAR: It’s just amazing. Apparently, there is no lie too big for Donald Trump and J.D. Vance. I mean, when you ask him about the last election, all you’re asking him to do is admit reality, and we deserve to have a vice...

Just like claims that he served in war, or retired as a command sergeant major, the story Walz tells about reenlisting is not true.When Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was introduced as Kamala Harris’ running mate, the campaign presented him as a bonified patriot, a career National Guardsman who retired as a command sergeant major after 24 years of faithful service to his country, including a deployment in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.Walz enlisted two days after his 17th birthday in April 1981. As Walz tells it, when the planes hit the Twin Towers on Sept. 11, 2001, the attack compelled...

During his speech at the Democratic National Convention, President Biden attempted to gaslight the American people about his administration’s position on school closures during the pandemic. “Kamala and I helped states and cities get back their schools back open,” he yelled. But as X account Libs of TikTok reminded, Democrats attacked former President Donald Trump for arguing schools need to be reopened, especially because COVID-19 posed very little risk to children. “During the pandemic Kamala and I helped states and cities get back their schools back open” - Joe Biden Now look at this DNC ad from 2020 attacking Trump...

Remember Cassidy Hutchinson, the former West Wing aide who swore that the hearsay evidence she would tell the J6 Committee was the truth, the whole truth, so help her God? The new Inspector General's report on the Secret Service's activities on Jan. 6, 2021, has finally put this story and Hutchinson's reputation into the wood-chipper. As you may recall, Hutchinson said that on January 6, as President Donald Trump was driven from his speech at a Save America rally to the White House, he "lunged" at the Secret Service driver when he learned that he wouldn't be going to the...

CLAIM: The Biden campaign is repeating a lie that former President Donald Trump tear-gassed peaceful protesters gathered outside of the White House in Lafayette Square for a photo-op. VERDICT: FALSE. This has been debunked countless times and has been proven false. The inspector general of the U.S. Department of Interior released a report in June 2021 that exonerated Trump from claims that he had tear-gassed peaceful protesters gathered in Lafayette Square in June 2020 to walk through the park to have a photo-op at St. John’s Episcopal Church.

The Biden White House was caught in a lie on Thursday as it tried to deny that it had tried to meet with the radical Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in Chicago as part of an outreach to Arab-, Muslim-, and Palestinian-Americans. As Breitbart news has noted: In 2007-8, CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the terror financing trial of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development. That case, in turn, led the FBI to discontinue its work with the organization. In 2009, a federal judge ruled that the government “produced ample evidence to establish” the ties of...

Just 24 hours after President Joe Biden visited one of the calmest areas along the southern border in Texas, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is claiming that there is nothing Biden can do to secure the border.

Despite the clear transcript and video evidence exonerating Trump for the hoax surrounding Charlottesville, millions of Americans still believe that the 45th President was an open, brazen racist.“Hard to Kill” is a Steven Seagal action thriller from 1990 that garnered scornful reviews, though I loved it as a then-teenager. But that phrase, hard to kill, also aptly describes the “Very Fine People” hoax surrounding Charlottesville and the lingering myth that President Trump praised bigots there.In recent days, liberal social media rabble-rouser actor Michael Rapaport stated on the Patrick Bet-David podcast that “the Charlottesville, that I ranted about, I was wrong…...

During a sworn deposition, FBI special agent Elvis Chan claimed the bureau and big tech companies only had one meeting regarding the Hunter Biden laptop story. In a bombshell development, Meta Inc. was served with a subpoena from Congress to provide their private email correspondence with the FBI. The internal communications reveal that the FBI had extensive meetings with Facebook. Chan himself had more than one meeting with Facebook, which directly contradicts his testimony. Chan also testified of having no knowledge about the Hunter Biden laptop investigation. Again, this contradicts what Chan privately told Facebook behind closed doors. In the...

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and former Chief Medical Advisor to the President Dr. Anthony Fauci have clashed repeatedly in the Senate in the past over whether the U.S. funded virus “gain-of-function” research, a charge Fauci adamantly denied. It was clear the two men didn’t like each other, but now Paul is ratcheting it up to another level—he’s officially filing a criminal referral with the Department of Justice alleging that the good doctor flat-out lied to him in sworn testimony.This directly contradicts everything he said in committee hearing to me, denying absolutely that they funded any gain of function, and it’s...

Video of prominent Berkeley Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky telling his class during a lecture he’d lie in a deposition now says he was totally joking, and his class knows it.In late June, a short video of Chemerinsky was posted on social media in which he said to students:“I’ll give you an example from our law school, but if ever I’m deposed, I’m going to deny I said this to you. When we do faculty hiring, we’re quite conscious that diversity is important to us, and we say diversity is important, it’s fine to say that.”The video was posted by popular...

Affirmative action in admissions is over and as I pointed out here, the progressive left is basically freaking out about what will happen next. What we’ve seen in California, which outlawed affirmative action in 1996, is that the percentage of black and Hispanic students are likely to drop until schools adopt legal ways to make up for the advantage affirmative action was giving these students. The Washington Post has a story up today looking at how schools might do that. [emphasis added]“Expect a shock,” said Michael V. Drake, president of the University of California, who is in position to know....

President Joe Biden said Monday he did not lie in his repeated claims of never speaking with Hunter Biden about the family’s international business deals — despite mounting evidence to the contrary. After hosting an event in the East Room at the White House about the nation’s economic challenges, Fox News’ Jacqui Heinrich asked President Joe Biden, “Did you lie about never speaking to Hunter about his business deals?” “No,” Joe Biden replied: Q: "Did you lie about never speaking to Hunter about his business deals?" BIDEN: "No" pic.twitter.com/mWC3Xtd8sS — RNC Research (@RNCResearch) June 26, 2023

It is not uncommon for politicians or bureaucrats to lie. What seems to be unique, though, is just how common and consequential the lies were during the COVID pandemic. On Monday, we got a bombshell. New documents indicate the entire justification for vaccine mandates was based on a falsehood — and that public health officials knew it. Emails obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request show that CDC Director Rochelle Walensky and former NIH Director Francis Collins were aware of, and discussed, “breakthrough cases” of COVID in January 2021 — right when the vaccines became widely available. In her...

On Friday, Jennifer Granholm, Joe Biden’s Secretary of Energy, informed Congress that she lied during her confirmation hearings. High-ranking government officials responsible for shaping policies are expected to refrain from owning stocks that could potentially create conflicts of interest. Granholm did not completely divest herself of all the stocks she possessed, and she retained six stocks in her portfolio. During her confirmation proceedings, when questioned by the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, she declared under oath that she did not own any individual stocks and conveniently omitted mentioning the six stocks she still held at that time. In her...

“The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.” – George Orwell, 1984 “Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth.” ― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World I wish I could go through a day without having to reference Orwell and Huxley when observing how the ruling class is able to manipulate, subjugate, and propagandize the willfully ignorant masses through lies, deceptions, disinf
