A 'Fact-Check' on Joe Biden Checking His
Watch Leads to a Correction for
the Ages

Original Article

Sometimes you see something related to politics that is just so perfect it has to be shared. A USA Today fact-check that dropped yesterday is one of those things, and keep reading because it’ll become very obvious why in a moment. Daniel Funke, who describes himself as “checking facts + covering misinfo” on Twitter decided to take on those who said that Joe Biden checked his watch during the dignified transfer of the 13 US servicemembers last week. That tragedy occurred at the hands of an ISIS suicide bomber after the Biden administration outsourced security to the Taliban.

Comments:

Hysterical. If late night shows and SNL had any brains, they'd hammer away on nonsense like this. It's some of the funniest stuff happening right now.

So it adds "Missing Context" to the post because he checked his watch SEVERAL times as opposed to just once. Of course it doesn't say what context is missing!

Whenever I see a "fact check" I automatically know it is a propaganda propagation program. There is no truth, just graffiti-sprayed lies masquerading as facts.

He even said "Watch the video"...which PROVED it was more than once, and during the event, not after. Perhaps HE should have watched it 1st instead of merely coat-tailing on other "Factcheckers" attempts to give Biden 'cover'.

Someone from on the of the families present said that he checked his watch after or as coffin went by. I don't know if that entirely accurate.Also, between joey and jilly they have no idea of where their hearts are as evidenced by where they placed their hands. AND joey as CIC should have been saluting.

If Twitter lets something political stand, you know its a lie. Any truth is immediately censored out of existence, unless it is damaging to anyone on the right. Usually in that case, it is blown so far out of proportion (Trump getting two scoops of ice cream comes to mind) that the post is nothing but propaganda.

Family members of the thirteen flown to Dover stated that Xiden glanced at his watch after each casket. This so-called fact checker is now outed as a in your face liar. What are his employers going to do about him? Better still, what are we going to do about his employers? Reasons to cancel one's subscription to the Tampa Bay Times are legion, but the TBT's "fact checking" arm, the relentlessly dishonest PolitiFact, is, for me, chiefest. I wish I could cancel my subscription again, every daily, but such an action would reek of superfluity. The moderately conservative Tampa Tribune, Pac-Man(ned) up by the Times a few years ago, was the Tampa Bay area paper that should he survived. Our loss.

With Trump, fact checkers were there to prove that every word out of Trump's mouth was a lie and wrong. With Biden, the fact checkers are there to prove that every lie out of Biden's mouth is proven "true" and correct. The fact checkers job is to twist the facts until they are true to show Biden in the best light possible.

Because we write a lot about Critical Race Theory, on who supports it and who is against is as well as the dangers of implementing it in public school classrooms, we sometimes get questions along the lines of “what is the best way to explain CRT in a short, sweet, and simple way that would make sense to people who don’t understand the argument in order to help them be more aware of what’s going on?”Opinions, of course, vary on the best way to go about it.

Hundreds of Boeing employees, braving the rain in Everett, Washington, came out on Saturday to protest the company’s vaccine requirement. Boeing has imposed the requirement because, as they are federal contractors, Joe Biden has demanded as part of his vaccine mandate executive order that federal contractors comply by Dec. 8. The employees have until that date to get vaccinated or lose their jobs. The crowd of protesters was a raucous one, not afraid to express their opinion, waving Gadsden flags and raising signs reading: “My body, my choice” and “F Joe Biden,” with some of them saying they would rather quit than comply.

The “F Joe Biden” movement has become a national movement, showing up from college football games to protest marches, making it to concerts and onto live television. It’s even become so popular, it produced its own spin-off chant — Let’s go, Brandon — in part because of the refusal of an NBC reporter to acknowledge that the crowd in the stands were actually shouting “F**k Joe Biden.” When the chant broke out while Kelli Stavast was interviewing the winner of that day’s NASCAR race, Brandon Brown, Stavast claimed they were saying, “Let’s go, Brandon.” A meme was born, perfectly encapsulating not only the disgust with Joe Biden

Our brand, the pride, the image and “es-prit de Corps” we had earned on the world stage since 1945 has been shamefully squandered by the deceitful actions taken in Afghanistan by the Biden Administration. Generation after generation serving in our Armed Forces have built on the successes of those before them. So much so, that the image and strength of our military is the sum of the contributions of our active-duty personnel and veterans. So, we have skin in the game.

Attorney General Merrick Garland made a stunning announcement about having the FBI and U.S. Attorneys’ Offices coordinate with federal, state, and local law enforcement to deal with “threats” of violence against school boards and people working in schools. This immediately prompted cries from critics that Garland was trying to suppress people objecting to pandemic restrictions and CRT — two of the hot button issues that have caused many people to come out and object at school board meetings. While Garland spoke about “threats,” he didn’t identify any threats or concerns which would qualify as federal criminal action requiring such interference in the parents’ rights to express themselves.

Last week, we reported on how the ACLU went full cringe in a tweet they posted where they altered a quote from the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg to eliminate all references to women. To quickly recap, Republicans and even some Democrats ripped the organization to shreds for posting a revised quote from the former Supreme Court associate justice and feminist icon on the one year anniversary of her death, a quote that was specifically about an issue that directly relates to women (abortion). As of this writing, the tweet is still up. Here’s how the ACLU changed a dead woman’s words to make them sound more gender-neutral, erasing women in the process.

By an overwhelming majority, the House voted to fund the Israeli Iron Dome today, a defensive system that protects against Palestinian rocket barrages. That vote was necessary as a stand-alone bill because far-left anti-Semites, mostly members of the so-called “squad,” joined forces earlier in the week to strip the funding from the main budget bill. Naturally, those who live to see Israel wiped off the face of the Earth didn’t take it well as scenes of lunacy were presented on the floor.

There’s a cohort of hardcore populists within the House GOP whose loyalty to Trump is such that they’ll eagerly parrot any conspiracy theory he likes but most GOP reps who are asked about this tend to mumble something noncommittal about “election integrity” and “unanswered questions” before changing the subject.

Americans are pointing a finger at President Joe Biden's policies when asked what's responsible for the rising inflation. A Politico/Morning Consult poll released Wednesday found that 62 per cent of registered voters assigned a lot or some blame to the Biden administration when asked who was responsible for the 13-year high. Broken down, 40 per cent of those surveyed said the Biden administration's policies were very responsible, while another 22 per cent said the policies were somewhat responsible.
