Truth IS out: Sunlight on J6, Covid and more

"Truth will out."

"Sunlight is the best disinfectant."

Since we're starting with quotes, one might recall how a weak-kneed former RINO Speaker used to use his favored "We’re just one-half of one-third of government" excuse towards his inability to advance Republican ideas and stop then-President Barack Obama. Contrary to that Boehnhead, the sunlight of new control in that same House has actually revealed quite a LOT over mere weeks. Whether on the J6 LIE...

Tucker Carlson Exposes Jan. 6 Committee as Crude Liars

Even on the small stuff, they warped reality to advance political interests.

The broadcast did not jeopardize any lives. It jeopardized quite a few lies.
Isn’t that exactly what good journalism does?

We knew there was a reason leaders hid the January 6 tapes

Tucker fires back at critics outraged over the release of previously hidden footage of Jan. 6

...or after months of covid revelations from Pfizer admissions about the vaccine testing, or lack thereof, to new findings that prove what many of us already knew about prior infection being just as effective as any vaccine, and now finally towards the cover-up of the virus's origin...

FBI director agrees with Energy Department report that COVID 'most likely' leaked from Wuhan lab and claims China is 'thwarting and obfuscating' U.S. investigations into the virus

New emails show Dr. Anthony Fauci commissioned scientific paper in Feb. 2020 to disprove Wuhan lab leak theory
We always knew the truth about COVID would come out

It's promising to finally start hearing all of these things being tied together, because quite frankly THEY ARE!

A recent NR post quite effectively ran through the litany of LIES we've been fed by the unscrupulous actors in the world of politics...

Hey, remember when NPR reported in April 2020 that “scientists” had “debunked” the lab-leak theory? Remember when the Washington Post called the lab-leak theory a “debunked” “conspiracy theory”? Remember when Apoorva Mandavilli, a reporter covering Covid-19 for the New York Times, contended that the lab-leak theory was a racist conspiracy theory? As they used to say in that late ’90s Saturday Night Live parody of NPR, “Good times, good times.”

The George Orwell quote, “To see what is in front of one’s nose needs a constant struggle” is almost a cliché in journalism circles by now. But we get it, don’t we? As the world of news became an increasingly discordant cacophony, it became clearer and clearer that if you followed politics, national events, or the world stage, you’d run into a lot of shameless liars.

I don’t mean differences of opinion, exaggerations, understandable errors while speaking off the cuff, or predictions that later proved erroneous. I mean just flat-out two-plus-two-equals-five versions of wrong. I’m talking about things such as:

• John Fetterman’s doctor declaring, shortly before the lone debate in last year’s Pennsylvania Senate race, that he “has no work restrictions and can work full duty in public office.”
• There are people who want you to believe that an octogenarian president has no significant restrictions on his ability to perform his duties. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed that Biden has so much energy she “can’t even keep up with him.” Our eyes and ears tell us otherwise.
• Karine Jean-Pierre also recently claimed that Florida governor Ron DeSantis wanted to block “the study of Black Americans.” Florida state law requires the teaching of African-American history; what DeSantis objected to was the portions of the draft of the proposed AP African-American studies curricula obtained by National Review that contended that color-blindness is a form of covert racism.
• The president defended his keeping classified documents in boxes near his Corvette at one of his Delaware houses because, “My Corvette is in a locked garage. Okay? So, it’s not like they’re sitting out in the street.” That does not come anywhere near the requirements for making a site secure for the storage of classified documents under the law. Biden also insisted that, “People know I take classified documents and classified material seriously,” after investigators found four separate batches of classified materials in four separate insecure places.
• Biden boasted, “We literally cut the federal debt in half by $1.4 trillion.” He did not do this literally or figuratively; the debt is $24.6 trillion.
• Vice President Kamala Harris insisted in October that, “We have a secure border in that that is a priority for any nation, including ours and our administration.” A declaration that a secure border is a priority is not the same as actually securing the border. If the border were secure, fewer migrants would be trying to cross it; U.S. Customs and Border Protection would not be regularly experiencing more than 200,000 encounters per month.
• President Biden warned that voting laws in Georgia and elsewhere amounted to “Jim Crow 2.0,” and “an atrocity.” And then that state had record turnout in the midterm elections, and a University of Georgia survey found that zero percent of black respondents said their voting experience in Georgia was poor in the 2022 midterm election. Around 73 percent of black and white voters alike said their voting experience was excellent.
• Remember the contention in the Indianapolis Star that, “One of Buttigieg’s primary qualifications for a cabinet role is that he was the mayor of South Bend”? We were right to be skeptical!
• Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer insisted that the spy balloon traversing the entire continent was a “humiliation for China,” not the United States, even though General Glen VanHerck, the commander of North American Aerospace Defense Command and U.S. Northern Command, said of past balloon incursions: “I will tell you that we did not detect those threats. And that’s a domain awareness gap that we have to figure out.” Wait, which country was humiliated again?
• Remember when the Chinese government was cited as a role-model for Covid-19 public-health responses — that China had “beat the virus and roared back,” as the New York Times put it? We knew China’s official numbers had no relation to what was actually happening on the ground!
• President Biden asserted that January 6 rioters’ chants somehow motivated or triggered the nutjob who attacked Paul Pelosi, instead of focusing on the consequences of several successive law-enforcement failures involving that nutjob.
• Maxine Waters praised Sam Bankman-Fried for being so “candid,” shortly before he was arrested and charged with defrauding investors, wire and securities fraud, and conspiracy to circumvent campaign-finance regulations.
• Does the New York Times follow “the lead of far-right hate groups in its coverage of trans issues”? An irate group of activists wants you to believe that.
• Even after independent, non-conservative journalism institutions such as the New York Times and the Washington Post verified the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called it the “half-fake laptop story.”
• Everyone who assured you that your data was safe on TikTok? They lied, too.
• Randi Weingarten and other teachers’ union officials now talk about year-long school closures as this unforeseeable disaster for children’s education, as if she and her allies hadn’t led the fight to keep schools closed in late 2020 and almost all of 2021.

And those are just the recent lies; before then, the president assured us that the surge of migrants at the border was a routine seasonal pattern, that the Afghan army was well-trained and well-equipped and deserved our confidence, that we wouldn’t see helicopters evacuating people from the U.S. embassy in Afghanistan, that inflation was transitory, that the U.S. would not enter a recession, that the supply-chain crisis didn’t occur, that Covid testing would be easy and plentiful last winter, and that the infant-formula shortage would get resolved quickly. This is all separate from Biden’s implausible and in some cases indisputably falsified tales — that he used to drive a tractor trailer; that he was arrested protesting for civil rights; that he was arrested trying to see Nelson Mandela in prison and that Mandela later thanked him; that he was shot at in Iraq; that he personally confronted Slobodan Milosevic; that former Israeli prime minister Golda Meir wanted him to be her liaison to Egyptians about the Suez Canal; that as a high-school and college student, he went to both Catholic Mass and services in a black church every day, and so on.

It's time for Republican leaders to unwind all of these damnable lies and demand some kind of action towards accountability. The inevitable question is will they? Or maybe better asked, how will they with this amount of deception amassed over the past couple of years? Either way, may one-half of one-third continue shining light on all of the above for all our sakes, for the truth IS now out.
