Deny, Deflect, and Deride

How things have changed since President Harry Truman said, “The buck stops here.”

You have to marvel at how Democrats can lie at the drop of a hat. Don’t get me wrong: I know there are Republicans as well from whom you can’t take everything they say at face value. But since the Obama administration — which was “scandal free,” by the way, if you believe the media — lying has become second nature. Donald Trump had the “Art of the Deal,” but Joe Biden has the art of the lie, denying responsibility for anything that goes wrong.

Joe is not responsible for the border, inflation (Bidenomics is working), higher gas prices — you name it. Joe has been a “lying dog-faced pony soldier” since his first presidential campaign. He lied about how smart he is (three degrees), how brave he is (arrested trying to see Nelson Mandela), and how talented he is (drove a big rig). Depending on the crowd he’s with, he’s done it all. He said he was raised in a Puerto Rican community and spent more time in black churches than black people. He’s amazing! I could go on, but we’ve all heard his lies ad nauseam.

With the release of the special counsel’s report on Biden’s document scandal, the Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) have gone into hyper-drive. The special counsel, they say, lied about Joe’s releasing secret files, his serious memory problems, and other issues. The special counsel said Joe was not charged because he was an elderly man with a bad memory. Trump should hire Biden’s attorneys and file for dismissal of his charges.

To prove he’s not senile and does not have a bad memory, Joe held a press conference after his normal bedtime. Joe convinced us he does have a bad memory — he couldn’t remember things, he mistook the president of Egypt for the president of Mexico, and he got really angry when reporters finally started to ask tough questions. I bet we all feel better now, right?

The Biden administration denies what’s happening right before our eyes. Democrats say the special counsel lied and Joe’s perfectly fine. Which begs the question: If he’s fine, then why shouldn’t he be charged? He can’t have it both ways! His minister of propaganda, I mean press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, tells us Biden does more in an hour than most people do in a day. He has to; he only works 20 hours a week.

Jean-Pierre says the White House staff have trouble keeping up with Joe (during his 20-hour work week). If that’s true, they all need to see their doctor and get some vitamins prescribed. Joe has spent 40% of his time in office on vacation, which is probably a good thing for America.

Democrats deflect the blame to others, usually Trump. DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is not responsible for the border, and neither is Joe; it’s Trump’s fault. Food costs are up because of greedy corporations, and Joe wants it to stop. Barack Obama blamed George W. Bush for his problems, and Joe has blamed Trump for everything and anything. Then the White House tells us we are ungrateful, not noticing all Joe has done for us.

Then Democrats deride us for noticing Joe can’t remember anything or anyone. They deride us for not being grateful for high gas prices and high grocery bills. Many can’t buy a new home or go on a trip. How things have changed since President Harry Truman said, “The buck stops here.” God help us until November comes!

Something to think about!
