The old saying was “There are two things you can count on – death and taxes.”  A third should be added: “Biden opens his mouth and a lie follows.”

Some are innocent ramblings of an old man who narcissistically exaggerates to simulate empathy. “My house almost burned down and I almost lost my cat and Corvette” (It was a kitchen grease fire.) or, “I convinced Strom Thurmond to vote for the Civil Rights Act.” (Biden was 21 years old at the time, was not involved in politics, and didn’t know Thurmond until years later.) And the biggest lie of all – “I have no knowledge of my son’s business activities.”

Now in a pre-Labor Day Rose Garden address “The Liar in Chief” claims America is experiencing its strongest job-creating period ever and highlighted the 13.5 million new jobs created by employers since he took office in January 2021 but neglected to take into account the 22 million jobs lost due to lockdowns and the 12 million covered under Trump.

Unemployment is now under 4% but Biden fails to mention that an estimated 100 million people aren’t in the labor force. That’s 5 million more than before Covid and the job creation growth is highest in industries hardest hit by the pandemic.

“Bidenomics” created inflation is at least 14% higher than when this Marxist regime took office and wages have risen by approximately 4 %. So, the average worker’s buying power is actually 10% less than before the government unnecessarily injected trillions of dollars into an already recovering economy. The price of Gas, food, clothing, and housing has millions of Americans struggling to survive.

These are FACTS. Not the ramblings of a corrupt man of minimal talent whose handlers write the propaganda that he delivers without accepting the challenge of questions from an equally inept media that continues to cover for him as our Constitutional Republic crumbles. Likely, the West Wing news fabricators have already created talking points to blame Trump and all MAGA supporters for the recession that looms ahead.
