They Got News. We Got Views

I’m in the mood for some news and views to cover the chaotic events unfolding seemingly daily.

NEWS: The Washington Post finally got around to awarding Joe Biden four Pinocchios, their fact-checking falsehood label, for insisting son Hunter never took money from China. The Post apparently was moved to brand Joe a fibber after Hunter admitted taking money from the Chi-coms during court testimony last week.

VIEWS: Dare we dream the Post will have an epiphany regarding outing other lies from the left and become once again a legitimate newspaper, rather than a Democratic house organ? Toward that end, the Washington Post better warm up the Pinocchio machine now that Biden is trying to blame the government’s credit downgrade on Donald Trump, who’s been out of office for more than two and a half years and is in no way responsible for the federal deficit’s breathtaking ascent under Biden.

NEWS: Alan Dershowitz, the lawyer, professor and expert on Constitutional law, was on Larry Kudlow’s Fox News show Wednesday afternoon equating the latest Trump indictments to a laughable hash of legal persecution and abridging of rights such as free speech.

VIEWS: And yet, if the witch hunt succeeds in having a far-left judge preside over resulting trials, Trump is likely to face convictions on these and other charges that never would have been brought had he been a loyal Democratic operative.

NEWS: Bill Maher, formerly a reliable voice for all things leftist, is sounding more and more rational these days, including outing the hypocritical left for the illegal immigrant crisis. Maher pointed out that the limousine liberals are all for migrants, until they show up in their neighborhoods. I hear this and think of the outraged Martha’s Vineyard elites and how they howled when a busload or two of illegals were shipped to their area.

VIEWS: Alas, Maher is the exception. Most leftists will not blink in the face of facts that prove them wrong, and instead double down to suppress any opposing viewpoints using their unholy lapdog triumvirate of fake news, big tech and biased social media censorship.

NEWS: The Biden regime is pushing for extension of a law enabling U.S. intelligence agencies to spy on citizens in this once-great land.

VIEWS: Once again, it’s all about stripping basic freedoms from the populace, a favorite pastime of Biden and his pals.

NEWS: The LeBron James-affiliated “I Promise” School in Akron, Ohio, hasn’t had a single eighth grade student pass a state math test since the group was in third grade.

VIEWS: The school is funded in part by contributions from a James foundation. The typical excuses have been trotted out to explain this incredible failure. No one got around to noting that instilling individual discipline and accountability matter, regardless of how much money is thrown at a problem.

NEWS: Joe Biden’s job approval rating in his 10^th quarter (30 months or so) in office is lower at this point than any post-World War II president except Jimmy Carter according to a Gallup poll. It would be even worse if not for the 86 percent of ideologically blind Democrats who like what Biden’s doing.

VIEWS: Carter’s low ranking had to do with roaring inflation and an ongoing energy crisis that had poll respondents waiting in long lines to buy gasoline. But, even Carter’s political opponents, while decrying his policies and uneven leadership, recognized him as a decent man. Biden? Not so much.
