The Lie of the Year Was Joe Biden’s Decline

About last year: PolitiFact, the independent fact-checking website run by the Poynter Institute, bestowed another odious distinction on President-elect Donald Trump. The organization dubbed a statement uttered by Trump and his running mate J.D. Vance the “Lie of the Year.”

PolitiFact has christened a Lie of the Year every year since 2009, and in only two of those years did statements made by Democrats earn the top prize. In 2011, PolitiFact slammed Democrats for claiming that Republicans would vote to end Medicare, and in 2013, the organization concluded that President Barack Obama’s solemn promise—”If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan”—was plainly untrue. But in every other year, PolitiFact has singled out right-leaning purveyors of mistruths.

This year is no different. In 2024, PolitiFact’s Lie of the Year is the claim by Trump that Haitian migrants in an Ohio town were “eating people’s pets.”

“With a brazen disregard for facts, Donald Trump and his running mate repeatedly peddled a created story that in Springfield, Ohio, Haitian immigrants were eating pet dogs and cats,” observes the organization.

The Republican ticket’s disregard for the facts in this case was indeed brazen. It was completely untrue that Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, were eating people’s pet dogs and cats. What happened was that various concerns about migrants supposedly hunting birds in public parks in Springfield, Ohio, got lumped together with an unrelated story of someone killing a pet cat in a completely different town. It’s a textbook example of why you shouldn’t automatically believe everything you see on social media. Trump and Vance did real harm here, and it’s absolutely fair to call them out for smearing the immigrant population of Springfield, Ohio.

But was this really the Lie of the Year?

Biden FBI Called White Supremacy ‘Most Persistent, Lethal Threat’ Before Islamist Terrorism Attack

How does a jihadist, flying an ISIS flag on his pickup truck, go undetected in the United States long enough to plow into pedestrians, killing at least 15 and injuring many more?

The FBI says Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, a U.S. citizen from Texas, is responsible for the deadly New Year’s Day terror attack in New Orleans and that he likely did not act alone. Law enforcement is still looking for others who may be involved.

Jabbar was not the threat on President Joe Biden’s radar. Jabbar did not fit the profile of the terrorists Biden, his crooked Department of Justice (DOJ), and feckless Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have been searching for.

While the DHS left U.S. borders wide open for any criminal or harmful ideology to enter, the DOJ made “domestic violent extremism” a “national priority area,” numerous reports show.

In June 2021, the National Security Council announced a plan to target domestic terrorists, mostly “those who promote the superiority of the white race” and “militia violent extremists.” The FBI called them “the most persistent and lethal threats.”

That is code for the kind of people who went to the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

“Our current effort comes on the heels of … the Jan. 6 assault on our nation’s Capitol,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a June 2021 speech introducing the new focus on domestic terrorism.

“Certainly, the Capitol attack involved violent extremist[s],” FBI Director Christopher Wray testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee on March 2, 2021. He called those present for the chaos at the Capitol domestic terrorists, named the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, and said some were “racially motivated violent extremists” who advocate for white supremacy.

Domestic terrorists are Americans who commit violence with goals that stem from “domestic, extremist ideological influence, and lack foreign direction or influence,” according to the FBI.

ISIS is a violent foreign influence, but the FBI was focused on domestic influences.  

Biden should have known ISIS is a threat. A 2019 Department of State report under President Donald Trump details its deadly attacks. But in an outrageous act of political malpractice, Biden decided instead to use the resources of the FBI to hunt down perceived domestic political threats that questioned his administration.

Biden has used a lot of terms to describe the domestic threat: White supremacy, Right-wing Christian extremism, violent extremists, but they all lead to one term: MAGA Republicans — the Make America Great Again crowd who just voted Donald Trump back into office.

In an angry, troubling Sept. 1, 2022 speech, titled “The Continued Battle for the Soul of the Nation,” Biden spoke derisively of “MAGA Republicans” 13 times.

MSNBC Finally Admits Biden Flooded US With Illegals

No matter how much you hate the leftist media and MSNBC in particular, it’s not enough.

Now the Democrats have lost everything and Biden is leaving office, they are finally admitting that his disastrous administration flooded the country with illegal immigrants and how it “was not Biden’s finest moment.”

The grumpy chart guy said,“The border was not Biden’s finest moment, frankly. You can see what happened here. And Trump is not wrong when he talks about how border crossings work quite low. They’re running about 74,000 a month when he left office and they, in fact, did shoot up. Some of it was some things Biden said and some ways that they put a moratorium, for example, on deportations. But in fact, we did get up here almost to 300,000 a month.”

Yeah we know.

Unless Something Changes, 4 Years From Now We Will Be 51 Trillion Dollars In Debt

The U.S. government is currently constructing the most colossal monument in the history of the world.  It is a monument of debt, and we will forever be remembered as the nation that piled up far more debt than anyone else ever did.  For decades, this generation has been recklessly spending the money of future generations of Americans.  Most people seem to think that we are totally getting away with this swindle, but the truth is that the party is almost over.  Our national debt has already surpassed the 36 trillion dollar mark, and according to usdebtclock.org at our current rate of spending our national debt will surpass the 51 trillion dollar mark four years from now.

We are a spoiled, bloated, greedy nation that has run up a debt so big that words simply do not do it justice.

We have got to stop spending so much money, but we just can’t help ourselves.

In January, Donald Trump will be faced with some very difficult decisions regarding our debt as soon as he is inaugurated…

On the way out the door, Biden is Emptying the Coffers

Over the last 250 years of American political gamesmanship, both parties have played year-end games into the arms of a new incoming administration. In early 2000, the incoming George Walker Bush team discovered that every keyboard in the White House and other administrative offices was missing the “W” key¹. The outgoing Clinton staff had removed all the “W” keys to annoy the new administration after an extremely contentious election. The damage was small, estimated at $15,000. But the bigger message here was that when the party that runs the White House changes, the outgoing administration will leave some proverbial “time bombs” for their successors.

While the damaged keyboards were more like a bad joke, what Biden is doing to Trump now is serious business. The outgoing administration has opened the spigots table max to get every penny out the door while they can under the existing budget. It’s almost like they are looting the Treasury before they leave town.

Sen. Chuck Schumer Boasts Biden-Appointed Judges Will Be ‘Strongest’ Obstacle Blocking Trump’s Plan to Make America Great Again

“I don’t know exactly what [Trump will] do. But I can tell you this: The judiciary will be one of our strongest — if not our strongest — barrier against what he does,” current Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) told Politico last week about his plan to thwart President-elect Donald Trump’s agenda.

Insisting to his senators that making federal judgeships a priority would help protect the legislation Democrats have passed during their last four years in power, Schumer touted, “We got 235 — more than a quarter of the federal judiciary was appointed by our Senate and by the president,” and “more than Trump had done” during his first administration.

Schumer’s words also came days after Joe Biden vetoed a bill that would have added 66 federal judgeships, a goal that proponents said would relieve the significant delays in resolving some cases.

Biden said the bill was a “hurried action” that “seeks to hastily add judgeships with just a few weeks left in the 118th Congress.”

The Associated Press (AP) described the bipartisan nature of the bill:

The legislation would have spread the establishment of the new trial court judgeships over more than a decade to give three presidential administrations and six Congresses the chance to appoint the new judges. The bipartisan effort was carefully designed so that lawmakers would not knowingly give an advantage to either political party in shaping the federal judiciary.

“The Democratic-controlled Senate passed the measure unanimously in August,” AP added. “But the Republican-led House brought it to the floor only after Republican Donald Trump was reelected to a second term in November, adding the veneer of political gamesmanship to the process.”

Top 9/11 Lawyer Michael Barasch Slams Biden Plea Deals: ‘Devastating Betrayal’ of Families

The rejection of Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s revocation of 9/11 plea deals represents a “devastating betrayal” of grieving families, according to renowned 9/11 attorney Michael Barasch, a leading advocate for victims of the tragic September 11 attacks, who insisted that Americans “deserve answers, not compromises.”

Prominent 9/11 attorney Michael Barasch slammed the Biden administration’s handling of plea agreements for 9/11 terrorists, calling it a blow to “thousands of families who have endured 23 years of grief, unanswered questions, and hollow promises of justice.”  

Barasch, whose firm represents over 40,000 victims of 9/11, voiced outrage over the potential removal of the death penalty for those responsible for the attacks, calling it “clear beyond a reasonable doubt that these terrorists are guilty and deserve execution.” 

“As a human being, I understand the unbearable burden placed on families who have waited 23 agonizing years for closure—had this plea not happened, they would face the possibility of another decade of litigation, uncertainty, and delay,” he stated.  

Highlighting the ongoing health crises stemming from Ground Zero exposure, Barasch pointed to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control showing over 6,900 deaths and 69 types of cancer linked to the toxic aftermath of the attacks. 

“The truth is undeniable: 9/11 didn’t end on 9/11. Its deadly aftermath continues to claim lives every single day,” he said.

Is Biden hiding how and why martial law was declared on South Korea?

On December 3rd, Toronto’s The Globe and Mail headlined “South Korea’s President declares martial law, accuses opposition of anti-state activities”, and later that day headlined “South Korean parliament votes to defy president by lifting his declaration of martial law”; but, since then, the crisis has only gotten worse, and will certainly need South Korea’s U.S.-controlled Constitution to be changed. As Hanjoo Lee pointed out on page 262 in the “CONCLUSION” to his Spring 2007 Ph.D thesis, The Major Influences of the U.S. Constitutional Law Doctrines on the Interpretation and Application of the Constitution of the Republic of Korea: Critical Analysis on the Current Constitutional Court’s Decisions and Thoughts of the Necessity of Amendment of the Current Constitution of the Republic of Korea, “The Korean experience aptly shows that political changes precede legal changes. [This profound principle means that before there is even a Constitution, there is politics and political power — the decisions that were made by the individuals who held political power. A constitution doesn’t come from nowhere and no one, but from the possessors of political power, who actually shaped it.] … Cold war ideology based on a zero-sum mentality is outdated. These trends demand new ways of thinking.” Though veiled (for example, his “zero-sum” was a powerful condemnation of America’s demands for South Korea to be even more intensely anti-North-Korea and anti-China and anti-Russia than it is), his implication was clear, that South Korea must break out of the empire of which is a part (a colony), the U.S. empire, before it can TRULY become a democracy. Now, nearly 18 years later, Lee’s analysis is being proven to have been prophetic.

Biden Regime Declares War on Energy Independence: Bans Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Development in Nevada’s Ruby Mountain for 20 Years — Mining Exempted

The Biden regime announced Monday that it will bar oil, gas, and geothermal development in northeastern Nevada’s Ruby Mountains for the next 20 years.

This sweeping restriction covers an estimated 264,000 acres of federal land and effectively halts new energy exploration in the region.

Under the guise of environmental stewardship, the regime claims the move is in response to requests from Native American tribes, conservationists, and outdoor sports enthusiasts.

But critics argue this is another clear example of Biden’s commitment to strangling domestic energy production in favor of appeasing radical environmentalist groups.

The regime’s proposal begins a 90-day public comment period and triggers a two-year moratorium on new oil, gas, and geothermal leases in the area.

The lands will remain accessible for mining activities, leading some to question the consistency of the regime’s environmental policies.

US Credit Card Defaults Soar To Crisis Highs As Inflation Storm Crushes Working-Poor

The party is long over for the bottom third of US consumers, as maxed-out credit cards and depleted personal savings have pushed credit card loan defaults to their highest level since the 2008 financial crisis.

Financial Times cited new data from BankRegData revealing that credit card companies wrote off $46 billion in “seriously delinquent loan” balances in the first nine months of the year—an alarming 50% increase from the same period last year and the highest level in 14 years.

US credit debt recently surpassed $1 trillion and continues to expand rapidly. Making matters worse, annual percentage rates (APRs) on credit card debt have hit record highs, compounding the financial misery for cash-strapped consumers in the era of failed ‘Bidenomics’. 

Despite the interest rate cut, the average APR on credit card debt reached a new record at the end of the third quarter.
