[I wonder if anyone is counting Biden's daily lies.  And I'm talking only about material lies, the kind that affect our current or future QoL because they impact policy and legislation; and not political campaign or bombast promises that have not come true or have no chance of being realized.  Examples are, 'Our borders are secure', 'Taxing something does not affect its supply/availability', 'Injecting excess cash (not supported by increased production) into an economy does not cause inflation'.  I would like to see these lies, including their daily repeats, be tallied somewhere, mainly because these affect the beliefs of the lightly read population, especially before an election.  gjr]

    Quotes
    “I thought Kamala was in favor of busing.”
    UN Declares 50 Illegals in Martha’s Vineyard A Humanitarian Crisis.
    “I thought a “humanitarian crisis” on Martha’s Vineyard is when the vegan coop runs out of gluten-free flour or something. But apparently all it takes for a UN intervention is 50 people without trust funds showing up.”
    White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre said Thursday that the flight of migrants to Martha’s Vineyard was a political stunt by Republican governors and “a cruel, inhumane way to treat people who are fleeing communism.”
    She’s got it backwards: she might have a point if she said sending migrants from Florida to Martha’s Vineyard was putting them at risk of returning to communism.

And for him to sit there and focus on Republicans, when Democrats have controlled every statewide elected office and have supermajorities in both the Assembly and the Senate, and still find some way to blame the people who are in the minority, is asinine.

Thus, tomorrow every single military person should sue for being let go or about to be fired for the mi,Italy’s command that all personell get the shot in the arm like some junkie. The Commander in Chief declared it is over so why are teachers in blue cities still requiring masks and Covid shots and why are some universities demanding undergrads get a very questionable booster shot? Why, why, why? Why now, 52 days before the election.
    The Emergency Declaration signed by Trump in 2020 allows the executive branch to circumvent some laws. Executive Order, but I fail to see where Trump abused the order. So, if the current President of the United States has stated the pandemic now over, why has he not rescinded the Trump Emergency Order? Why, why, why? Is it to circumvent the laws on the books just in case they need it for non-pandemic emergencies.
    The good thing about the Pandemic was SCOTUS knocked OSHA down to size for bureaucrat overreach and Fauci, seeing the wipeout coming in the House is leaving in December rather than face a Jim Jordan as committee chair or possibly a Rand Paul as a Senate Committee Chairman subpoenaing the liar and bring him back time and time again for years to come to face the committee until he is bankrupt and his reputation trashed.
    BTW, look at what the Dems are doing rather than what they are saying. Dem House staffers (and Dem Senate staffers) have already left and have taken jobs in the private sector and the notorious “non-profit” sector. They are leaving in droves….behind the scenes, of course. They have seen the internal polling.

If something is familiar, we have clearly survived exposure to it, and our brain, recognizing this, steers us towards it.”
