WATCH: BP FACT CHECKED LIAR BIDEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DEBATE!

At the presidential debate, Biden made a bold claim that the official union of the U.S. Border Patrol had endorsed him. However, the National Border Patrol Council wasted no time in setting the record straight, tweeting that they have never and will never endorse Biden. This statement came as a humiliation for Biden, who is trying to justify his handling of border issues. In fact, his executive order on the border has been criticized by many as being pro-illegal immigration and for making the situation even worse.

Biden’s claim of endorsement by the Border Patrol Council is simply not true. In fact, the Council did endorse a Senate bill in February that aimed to strengthen border security. However, this is a far cry from endorsing Biden himself. The Council’s president, Brandon Judd, made it clear at the time that the bill was better than the current situation, but it did not mean an endorsement for Biden. This distinction is important, as Biden is trying to use this false endorsement to bolster his image on border issues.

Biden’s executive order, issued earlier this month, has also come under fire for being ineffective and even counterproductive. The order sets limits on the number of migrants who can cross illegally into the country, but it only applies to crossings between ports of entry. This means that when illegal crossings average 2,500 per day, the border will be shut down. This measure is not only arbitrary, but it also does not address the root causes of the border crisis. It only serves to make the situation worse, as it does nothing to stop the large number of illegal crossings happening at ports of entry.

It is clear that Biden’s policies on the border have been a failure. In the fiscal year 2021, there were a record 2.48 million total encounters at the southern border, a significant increase compared to the previous years. In fact, during Trump’s presidency, the highest number of illegal crossings was approximately 852,000 in 2019. The numbers for the other three years ranged between 300,000 and 400,000. This shows that Biden’s policies have led to a massive increase in illegal crossings and have failed to address the issue effectively.

Moreover, these numbers do not even include the estimated 1.6 million “gotaways” – migrants who were able to evade apprehension at the border. This is a serious concern, as it shows that not only are the number of illegal crossings increasing, but there are also many who are able to slip through undetected. Biden’s policies have created a chaotic and uncontrollable situation at the border, and this has serious implications for national security.

Biden’s claim of endorsement by the Border Patrol Council is false and has been refuted by the Council itself. His executive order on the border is ineffective and has been criticized as pro-illegal immigration.

The record number of illegal crossings under Biden’s presidency only highlights his failed policies and inability to control the border. As the situation continues to spiral out of control, it is clear that Biden’s handling of border issues has been a major disaster.

Biden says, ‘let me give you the facts.’ Then Twitter fact-checks his misleading claim that bashes corporations

President Joe Biden tried to give Americans “the facts” about how the Inflation Reduction Act stops big corporations from skirting tax laws.

But he was quickly fact-checked by Twitter for pushing a misleading claim.

On Friday, the president claimed that 55 corporations that earned over $40 billion in revenue in 2020 failed to pay taxes, a problem the Inflation Reduction Act allegedly rectifies.

“Let me give you the facts. In 2020, 55 corporations made $40 billion. And they paid zero in federal taxes,” Biden wrote on Twitter. “My Inflation Reduction Act puts an end to this.”

\u201cLet me give you the facts.\n\nIn 2020, 55 corporations made $40 billion. And they paid zero in federal taxes.\n\nMy Inflation Reduction Act puts an end to this.\u201d

— President Biden (@President Biden) 1667003400

The Inflation Reduction Act — which does not actually reduce inflation — imposes a minimum 15% tax on companies that, on average, earn more than $1 billion per year. According to Bloomberg Tax, the provision is “designed to prevent the largest corporations from exploiting tax loopholes that allow them to pay little or no federal income tax.”

Don’t miss out on content from Dave Rubin free of big tech censorship. Listen to The Rubin Report now.

Moreover, the Joint Committee on Taxation estimated that only 150 companies will be subjected to the tax.

Twitter included a fact-check on Biden’s tweet added by members of Birdwatch, the platform’s “community-based approach to misinformation.”

The information blurb pointed out, “Out of the 55 corporations the tweet references, only 14 had earnings greater than $1 billion and would be eligible under Biden’s tax law.”

Indeed, Biden’s often-cited statistic is based on a report from the left-leaning Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy. The report claimed 55 corporations paid zero in federal taxes despite having earned collectively more than $40 billion in 2020.

But that figure is misleading because, as the Twitter blurb noted, only 14 of those companies earned more than $1 billion that year and thus would be subjected to the corporate tax imposed by the Inflation Reduction Act.

Ironically, the Washington Post fact-checked the claim last October and mostly absolved the president of pushing misleading claims.

“This ’55 corporations’ number is probably in the ballpark but readers should be aware that it’s not based on actual tax returns but instead is an estimate of taxes paid based on corporate reports,” that fact-check concluded.

NYT’s Dares To Fact Check Biden Claim And Liberals Have A Total Meltdown Because It Smacked Obama Too

The New York Times dared fact Biden on a claim he made about the economy and liberals had a complete meltdown. One reason why liberals had a total meltdown was that the Times chipped away at his majesty Obama’s legacy.

During the debate, Biden said, “We [Obama/Biden administration] left him a booming economy. And he caused the recession.”

The New York Times said that Biden’s claim was “false.”

The Times wrote, “The economy was not “booming” in the final year of Biden’s time as vice president, and Trump did not “cause” the pandemic recession. The economy was healthy in 2016, but growth had dipped below 2%.”

 

The libs couldn’t take it.

 

 

 

On the other end of the spectrum, CNN fact-checked the President over Biden calling xenophobic for restricting travel to China. CNN claimed that Trump’s claim was “lacking context.”

“It’s not clear Biden even knew about Trump’s China travel restrictions when he called Trump xenophobic on the day the restrictions were unveiled,” wrote CNN. “Biden has never explicitly linked his accusation of xenophobia to these travel restrictions.”

 

After the debate, Steve Bannon made a comment on his radio show “War Room: Pandemic” that eluded to the President’s campaign strategy, and the data supports it. Bannon said, “Trump is not going to win over Karens in the suburbs, but he can win the Latino vote.”

After the debate on Telemundo reported that 66% of Hispanics that watched the debate felt Trump won.

6 Claims Hillary Made About Her Emails are FACT CHECKED–And Guess What…

Hillary’s main claims about the email scandal have been proven as lies. Read below and find out just exactly how she lied.

Key assertions by Hillary Clinton in defense of her email practices have collapsed under FBI scrutiny, as Associated Press fact check has found.

…

A look at Clinton’s claims since questions about her email practices as secretary of state surfaced and how they compare with facts established in the FBI probe:

CLASSIFIED MATERIAL ON EMAIL

CLINTON: ‘I did not email any classified material to anyone on my email. There is no classified material.’ News conference, March 2015.

THE FACTS: Actually, the FBI identified at least 113 emails that passed through Clinton’s server and contained materials that were classified at the time they were sent, including some that were Top Secret and referred to a highly classified special access program, Comey said.

Most of those emails — 110 of them — were included among 30,000 emails that Clinton returned to the State Department around the time her use of a private email server was discovered. The three others were recovered from a forensic analysis of Clinton’s server. ‘Any reasonable person in Secretary Clinton’s position or in the position of those with whom she was corresponding about the matters should have known that an unclassified system was no place for that conversation,’ Comey said. Clinton and her aides ‘were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information,’ he said.

CLASSIFIED MARKINGS 

CLINTON: ‘I never received nor sent any material that was marked classified.’ NBC interview, July 2016.

THE FACTS: Clinton has separately clung to her rationale that there were no classification markings on her emails that would have warned her and others not to transmit the sensitive material. But the private system did, in fact, handle emails that bore markings indicating they contained classified information, Comey said.

He said the marked emails were ‘a very small number.’ But that’s not the only standard for judging how officials handle sensitive material, he added. ‘Even if information is not marked classified in an email, participants who know, or should know, that the subject matter is classified are still obligated to protect it.’

‘I PROVIDED ALL MY EMAILS THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE WORK RELATED’ 

CLINTON: ‘I responded right away and provided all my emails that could possibly be work related’ to the State Department. News conference, March 2015.

THE FACTS: Not so, the FBI found.

Comey said that when his forensic team examined Clinton’s server it found there were ‘several thousand work-related emails that were not in the group of 30,000’ that had been returned by Clinton to the State Department.

‘I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE EASIER TO CARRY JUST ONE DEVICE’

CLINTON: ‘I thought it would be easier to carry just one device for my work and for personal emails instead of two.’ News conference, March 2015.

THE FACTS: This reasoning for using private email both for public business and private correspondence didn’t hold up in the investigation. Clinton ‘used numerous mobile devices to view and send email’ using her personal account, Comey said. He also said Clinton had used different servers.

‘THERE WERE NO SECURITY BREACHES’ 

CLINTON: ‘It was on property guarded by the Secret Service, and there were no security breaches. … The use of that server, which started with my husband, certainly proved to be effective and secure.’ News conference, March 2015.

CLINTON campaign website: ‘There is no evidence there was ever a breach.’

THE FACTS: The campaign website claimed ‘no evidence’ of a breach, a less categorical statement than Clinton herself made last year, when she said there was no breach. The FBI did not uncover a breach but made clear that that possibility cannot be ruled out.

‘We assess it is possible that hostile actors gained access to Secretary Clinton’s personal email account,’ Comey said.

He said evidence would be hard to find because hackers are sophisticated and can cover their tracks. Comey said his investigators learned that Clinton’s security lapses included using ‘her personal email extensively while outside the United States, including sending and receiving work-related emails in the territory of sophisticated adversaries.’ Comey also noted that hackers breached the email accounts of several outsiders who messaged with Clinton.

Comey did not mention names, but a Romanian hacker who called himself Guccifer accessed and later leaked emails from Sidney Blumenthal, an outside adviser to Clinton who regularly communicated with her.lying so long
