Liar, Liar
Good news! Inflation is down! But ... since 2021 the cost of living -- the CPI, the Consumer Price Index -- has gone up 20%. Now, hang on, how is that? Well, inflation says, "Prices change this much in the last time period" while CPI says, "From this date to that date the price of goods has changed this much." So when your friendly neighborhood government tells you, "Good news! Inflation is down!", just remember. That's not indicative of what you were paying in 2020 versus what you're paying now. Thank you, Democrats.

The Pentagon granted more than 800 honorable discharges to veterans who separated from the military because they were homosexuals during the period when the military didn't allow homosexuals. It was the "Don't ask, don't tell" era where the military looked the other way if you didn't make it an issue. So apparently these 800+ did not violate the rule that they actually did violate. I didn't realize that "We don't allow homosexuals" was rescinded retroactively. But, then, our world has no problem bending reality to suit its whims.
Law Enforcement You Can Count On
The FBI decided that their report of a 2.1% decrease in violent crime in 2022 was more accurately a 4.5% increase which, of course, is mostly the same ... except, of course, not. But if it offers a positive talking point for the current administration, then why not ... lie? "Did we say down? Sorry. We meant to say UP."
Lies and Statistics
We often get and give statistics to make our points. We often fail to realize how easy it is to use statistics as plain, ordinary lies. Like this week when I watched a whole series of stories of this company and that organization laying people off and ... "US weekly jobless claims unexpectedly fall." Because, you see, "jobless claims," while suggesting the health or lack thereof of our job market, is a truly misleading number. They ignore those who are farmworkers, those who are no longer looking, those who don't report, those who are looking but not filing, so many silent caveats. But, rejoice, America, despite all the price increases, all the jobs lost, all the real-world concerns, the Biden administration has improved the job market ... according to the statistics.

A lot of kids have gotten into debt to get a college education. Mind you, a college education isn't what it used to be. More like a college indoctrination. Mind you, the number of people who actually end up in the field in which they got their degrees are relatively few. Mind you, no one twisted their arms. But Biden has approved $175 billion in student loan forgiveness for nearly 5 million people ... just because. Where did he get that money? Your pocket. So, I'm wondering. I've got a home loan. Maybe I can get loan forgiveness? No? Why not?
Kamala in the Bee
The Bee has had it in for Kamala Harris of late. Go figure. One headline says that Democrats are perplexed why a candidate that no one has voted for is slipping in the polls. Another says that Kamala's campaign has been forced to hire gay actors for their ads because they can't find any straight male supporters. A third tells of a patient who explained to his doctor he was thinking of voting for Harris, so the doctor gave him a testosterone injection. We're not exactly sure on where the Bee stands on Harris.
Must be true; I read it on the Internet.

The Pentagon granting honorable discharges to people who weren’t so honorable is just another tactic to get votes for Demokrats. This just makes honorable discharges irrelevant.
FBI—Federal Buffoonish Idiots.
Notice how Biden’s loan forgiveness (place the debt on the rest of us) is only for government employees.
Liar, Liar
I mean, they're not wrong. Inflation is down, but that doesn't mean it is gone or that it will somehow overcome all the price increases, only that the continued increase has slowed, even though it is well over the natural inflation rate.

According to the modernist, morality is dictated by the culture, but in their eyes, it is only the current culture that gets to dictate it. So you can retroactively deem something moral or immoral on other or past cultures because only your cultural morality matters. Just didn't ask them to be consistent in their ideology.

This also falls into the Lies and Statistics portion. When you look at the numbers, you find that, yes they lied, but also that they simply fudged the numbers. What really has decreased is reported violent crime. Since people are either too afraid of the police, or more likely believe that nothing will come from telling the police, they simply don't report the crime. Or, they will take partial year data and extrapolate it. Or, for districts that don't report their data to the FBI, they simply make things up based on arbitrary numbers that have no basis in reality.
Lies and Statistics
Statistics can be helpful, but they should always be questioned. As we saw from the Fed, you have to look at the actual means of collecting said statistics.

So far, they haven't figured out how to force loaning companies to forget debts, so unless you financed your house through the government, you're out of luck, for now. As we progressively march toward our socialist utopia, we can definitely expect to see more and more interference of the government into private company operations.
Kamala In The Bee
You definitely know the white guys at the Bee are for Kamala. I mean, who else could do a better job than Trump, besides an black/Indian woman? She doesn't need to have any plan or skill, simply being a woman makes her superior to any man that would go against her. I did like Trump's joke at the New York gala thing where he said he wasn't worried about the White Dudes For Harris, because he was quite sure their wives and their wive's boyfriends would be voting for him.
Inflation is "down" from the highs of the early Biden/Harris administration, but not "down" from Trump administration levels.
I can't believe that Biden/Harris/Walz and their surrogates as well as the MSM are still promoting the BS crime stats.
