The White House rarely allows President Biden to sit down for interviews, and Wednesday’s chat with CNN’s Erin Burnett shows why.
In a brief 17 minutes, Biden told 15 lies — nearly a lie a minute.
From whoppers about the economy to prevarications on Israel, Biden spun a fantasyland of a presidency that voters know is false.
Here’s the rundown:
LIE 1: “I’ve created over 15 million jobs since I’ve been president.”
Biden’s favorite falsehood, told over and over and over again no matter how many fact-checks call him out.
He took office at the tail end of a pandemic that blew a hole in the economy, when lockdown policies wholeheartedly endorsed by Democrats took people out of the office and onto COVID stimulus checks.
He “created” nothing — after the introduction of the vaccine, people returned to the workforce.
If anything, Biden’s policies slowed the recovery — it took until July 2022 for the US economy to regain all the jobs lost due to the pandemic.
LIE 2: “Other than Herbert Hoover, [Donald Trump] is the only president who has lost more jobs than he created.”
The corollary lie.
Trump didn’t “lose” jobs through any policy; he was president during a global pandemic.
And statewide liberals were thrilled to put people on government checks and lead the charge on economic shutdowns and lockdowns during COVID.
They cannot argue that the job market would have been any different in 2020 under a Democrat.
LIE 3: “Look at what he says he’s going to do if he gets elected. Says he’s going to do away with what I’ve done on Medicare, reducing the price of Medicare.”
There’s no basis for this, as Trump has said he “will never do anything that will hurt or jeopardize Social Security or Medicare.”
Further, Trump pursued the exact same executive orders to lower prescription drug prices as did Biden.
LIE 4: “You know we have 1,000 billionaires in America. Know what their average federal tax is? 8.3%.”
Factcheck.org notes, “The top 0.1% of earners, with more than $4.4 million in expanded cash income, pay an average rate of 25.1% in federal income and payroll taxes.” Period. This has been debunked enough times for Biden to know better.
LIE 5: “We’ve already turned it around [on the economy].”
Burnett quoted some tough figures on the economy, noting that the cost of buying a home had doubled, and “Real income when you account for inflation is actually down since you took office.”
Biden’s response?
Denial. And worse, no plan for the future.
LIE 6: “The polling data has been wrong all along.”
Trump leads Biden in all seven swing states, according to an Emerson College poll released Tuesday.
Every survey that says people are upset about the economy?
Every poll that puts Biden’s approval rating at historic lows?
All of them, from dozens of different sources, are wrong?
Hundreds of diverse polls are all wrong and only Biden is right? C'mon man. There's no possible way Biden believes that.
LIE 7: “There’s corporate greed going out there. And it’s got to be dealt with.”
Labor costs increased 4.2% between 2023 and 2024. They increased 5.1% from 2021 to 2022.
The costs of everything, from supplies to shipping, rent and taxes, have gone up.
Why?
Because of the huge amount of government money injected into the system, inflating demand, minimum-wage increases by California and other states artificially driving prices up, and pent-up demand by consumers. How is Biden going to “deal with it”? Tell companies they can’t raise prices to avoid losing money? California knows the end of that policy....massive amounts of business closures in areas mostly affecting the working poor.
LIE 8: “[Inflation] was 9% when I came to office.”
This is the whopping lie of the night. Biden continues to pretend that the US was in terrible shape when he took office, when it was already on the rebound — thanks to Trump’s Warp Speed project that vaccinated people quickly against COVID. Inflation was recorded at a measly 1.4% in January 2021.
Then Biden went on a first-year drunken-sailor spending spree, and inflation predictably skyrocketed. The 9% month-over-month inflation happened in Biden's 2nd year, June of 2022.
LIE 9: “They have the money to spend. It angers them and angers me that they have to spend more.”
They have the money to spend? According to Bankrate, 76% of adults making less than $50,000 a year are living from paycheck to paycheck, an increase from 71% the year before that. Biden needed only watch the nightly news to see people cutting back on groceries, gas — even trips to McDonald’s — because their spending power has decreased. Blaming anger on this lie just alienates all sides.
LIE 10: “Civilians have been killed in Gaza as a consequence of those bombs, and other ways in which they go after population centers.”
It’s libel to suggest that Israel is deliberating targeting population centers. Hamas embeds itself among the civilian population, creating bases inside hospitals and digging tunnels under residential apartments. Israel has been warning the people of Rafah for more than a week to move to a safe zone outside the city.
They do not “go after” population centers, they work hard to minimize deaths while stopping the terrorists who kidnapped, raped and murdered Israeli civilians.
LIE 11: “We’re not walking away from Israel’s security. We’re walking away from Israel’s ability to wage war in those areas.”
But defeating Hamas is integral to Israel’s security. How does Biden suggest Israel win the war if it leaves the last stronghold of the terrorist group untouched?
America loses big if Israel loses, but Biden is willing to make that sacrifice....for Biden....
LIE 12: “It made no sense in my view to engage in thinking in Iraq they have a nuclear weapon.”
Biden brought this up, saying he warned Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu not to “make the mistakes” we made in Afghanistan and Iraq. Except Biden voted in favor of invading Iraq. So Biden may regret that decision today, but it made sense to him back them.
LIE 13: “You can’t only love your country when you win.”
Someone had better tell all the celebrities and elites in the Democratic Party who claim they are going to move if Trump is re-elected, or say they “don’t know their country anymore,” or who burn American flags as they rally for Hamas. Biden’s double standard chiding of Trump with this line would carry more weight if he said it to his own voters, who rarely have anything good to say about America now, or any time in history- regardless who is president.
LIE 14: “I travel around the world, other world leaders, know what they all say, 80% of them, ‘You gotta win. My democracy is at stake.’ ”
Maybe we can’t say this is absolutely a lie, but it sure sounds like one of those statements for which the press loves to go after Trump.
Are other world leaders really pulling Biden aside after his nap and saying “Your democracy is at stake” if he loses? Give us a break.
LIE 15: “Then [Trump] is going to put in a 10% tax that’s going to increase average Americans’ cost $1,500 a year.”
Trump has proposed no such tax. Perhaps Biden means Trump’s plan for a 10% tariff on imported goods, which may or may not cost Americans more money.
You know who else is considering imposing tariffs? Biden. Just this week, under the headline “Biden Looks to Thwart Surge of Chinese Imports,” the New York Times notes that China is using unfair business practices and Biden wants to counter it. Tariffs are on the table.

In our new national poll 56% of all voters think Biden really wants to stop Trump from winning by putting him in jail. The national poll of 1,000 likely voters with plus or minus 3.1% at the 95% confidence interval was completed between March 9 and March 14.
Even if this poll is on the extreme edge of the margin of error, this is very bad news for Biden.

NEW YORK, NY — Along with the announcement of a program that will provide illegal immigrants with pre-loaded credit cards, New York City Mayor Eric Adams assured migrants that if they run out of money on their prepaid debit cards, they can just rob an American citizen in person.
The announcement came as a relief to the tens of thousands of migrants who were concerned about what may happen if and when they burned through their taxpayer-funded free money. They were promptly promised by Mayor Adams that they could personally rob or burglarize Americans to replenish their funds at their convenience.
"I don't want the migrants to worry," Mayor Adams said at a press conference. "These prepaid debit cards are not just a one-time payout. Once they spend all of the money loaded on their cards, they can simply resort to assaulting and holding up innocent Americans to get whatever money they need. We're cutting out the government red-tape and passing the opportunity to rob Americans of their hard-earned money directly onto you!"
One migrant reached for comment expressed tremendous gratitude. "Gracias, Senior Adams," said Miguel Rodriguez. "I was wondering how I would be able to pay my living expenses when my card loaded with money from Americans runs out, but now I know I can just find the nearest American and take their money myself! Thank you, Joe Biden!"
Mayor Adams's office declined to comment when asked if giving migrants the green light to rob Americans in person might add to the city's already significant spike in crime.
At publishing time, New York's illegal gun dealers announced they would now proudly accept prepaid debit card payments.

Liberal Media MELTS DOWN Over SCOTUS GIVING TRUMP HUGE VICTORY As Woke Judge Removes Him From Ballot
Key takeaways:
1) Democrats wanted to use DOJ to nullify Trump on the ballot.
2) Scotus stepped in and took action.
3) Because of this, the trial will take place AFTER the election, assuming Trump loses in the Scotus (unlikely)
4) A likely President Trump will then have immunity anyway.
5) All the polls saying Biden might win if Trump is convicted before November are now meaningless and irrelevant, since there is no path for this to happen now.

If you ever struggle to understand why things are the way they are and why life is so terribly frustrating, remember that 50% of the population don't even have an inner monologue and they get to vote too.
Jordan Peterson talks about this, in the sense that when you think in your own head, you’re allowing yourself to practice ideas that are dangerous or unsuccessful, thus allowing the ideas to internally die rather than killing yourself with external experimentation.
This is the article behind the science.

In declaring that charges will not be brought against Joe Biden in the mishandling classified materials case, the U.S. Justice Department explained that Biden is a “well-meaning, elderly man with poor memory” and as a result would be too sympathetic to a jury to be prosecuted. Biden did himself no favors by fumbling over his words in a press conference intended to deny the allegations.
CNN spin: “why a POTUS with memory problems has the best examples of leadership.”

Social capital refers to the resources embedded in social networks and social relationships that individuals can access and leverage for mutual benefit. It encompasses the trust, norms, and networks that facilitate voluntary cooperation and coordination among people. Social capital is considered a valuable asset for communities and societies as it objectively contributes to the overall well-being, economic development, and effective functioning of social groups.
Many policies enacted in the past 4 decades have eroded this in America.
My question to you guys is, who exactly benefits from these policies?
