Don’t believe the lies

October 17, 2022 9:53 am • Last Updated: October 17, 2022 9:53 am

The "truth" of the Biden administration resembles, more and more, the Newspeak of Orwell's 1984. You have heard it spouted by the White House press office and his cabinet officers, and either echoed or ignored by Biden's allies in Congress and the press (including The Day). "The southern border is secure. Inflation is under control. Biden's executive actions to stop pipelines and oil/gas leases and drilling did nothing to increase the price of fuels before Putin's invasion and OPEC actions. “Our policies are not responsible for the increasing murder rate."

If you believe in the truth, you need to elect representatives and senators who will hold the administration to account, not enable further assaults on the truth.
