"Simply lying"
The Fictional World Of Karine Jean-Pierre

  • White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and her cohorts in the Biden administration have routinely stated their dedication to stopping the spread of disinformation. Yet any legitimate, objective analysis of what Jean-Pierre says on a routine basis will show that she willfully engages in the very thing she claims to detest — spreading lies. It happens so frequently that one would think she lives in a fictional world that differs from reality.
  • Consider Jean-Pierre’s statements on Tuesday about how Republicans were fighting to "put fentanyl on the street by defunding Border Patrol." She added that Republicans were giving the country "increased crime" despite every honest, legitimate set of statistics showing the exact opposite.
  • "It’s clear that the Speaker’s bill breaks House Republicans’ commitment to America. In the run-up to the 2022 elections, House Republicans promised to put cops on the beat," Jean-Pierre said. "Instead, they’re fighting to put fentanyl on the street by defunding Border Patrol. Their proposal makes clear that only things House Republicans are committed to giving to Americans are increased crime, lower economic growth, and more manufacturing jobs sent back to China."
  • It’s all preposterous. Republicans have been speaking out against illegal immigration, the crisis at the border, and the surge of fentanyl since Biden was inaugurated in January 2021 and opened the floodgates. Republicans have pleaded the Biden administration to pay attention to the chaos along the border to no avail. Republicans and Democrats have repeatedly warned Biden of the dangers of the fentanyl smuggled into the country, only to have him sit on his hands.
  • People like Jean-Pierre who claim otherwise are simply lying — anyone who believes her is purely delusional. And if they can lie about something this obvious, where else are they failing to tell the truth?
  • As a rule, everyone should be suspicious of any information that comes from the Biden administration.

1000 Characters About My Mother #15:
"What happened after the Cub Scout Banquet?"

"That would have been in March of 1965 . . . "

"Here's something! First published April 1965 -- "

"Louis Jacobucci, Casework Treatment of the Neglectful Mother."

"Families in Society: The Journal of Contemporary Social Services, Volume 46, Issue 4."

"Oh, look! They had references!"

“The Protective Service Caseworker: How Does He Survive Job Pressures?”

"In ...

"What?!"

"I didn't say anything."

"How can you say such a thing?"

"I'm not going through this again."

"What do you mean?"

"All this -- denial. I'm done. I'm just going to say exactly what happened as I remember it."

"It never happened!"

"The reason I know it happened is that I renember it. I was eight years old. My brother was twelve years old. I was able to recover the date because I remember at some point in the week preceding the event, our father for some reason had told us, I'm going to be speaking at the Unitarian Church this Sunday at 11:00. It did not seem weird to me at the time, because he was always out of the house anyway. Plus all he used to when he was home was harangue me, so good."

"You lie."

"In fact, I remember thinking, it made sense that he would get something going on Sundays, because that was the only time he was ever even around anymore. Weekdays he was working, of course, and weeknights he was always at one of his many, many important community activities."

"You are delusional."

"Then, I found this article, and it all ...

"I have a thesis. My thesis is: In any woman's life, having children would have to be the most significant event. So, in my mother's story -- "

"Her family wasn't really any different from any of the other families."

"Yes."

"In what way?"

"She and her husband were both very active in community affairs. Both her children went to school."

"What else?"

"They were both boys?"

"Anything else?"

"No. That's it."

"So you said, that one way in which your mother's family wasn't really any different from any of the other families, was that she and her husband were both very active in community affairs. Can you tell me a little more about that?"

"Oh, sure. There was always something going on. Cub Scouts, she was like Den Mother of her older son's Cub Scout Pack. Pack 54. Plus the Comedy Club. Plus I'm pretty sure, she was involved in the kindergarten. She and her husband both. And politics. It was the Sixties."

"Just normal 60's Mom stuff."

"In any case, it's time to forget the past."
