JUST A FEW LIES ABC NEWS LET KAMALA GET AWAY WITH
CLAIM: Vice President Kamala Harris claimed Tuesday during a debate with former President Donald Trump that there were currently no active-duty troops in any combat zone anywhere around the world for the first time this century.
VERDICT: False. There are currently active duty U.S. troops deployed to Iraq and Syria who have been under frequent attack by Iran-backed militia forces over the past year. There are also thousands of active-duty U.S. sailors deployed to the Middle East who are facing attacks by drone strikes and missiles fired by the Iran-backed Houthi forces in Yemen. Earlier this year, three U.S. soldiers were killed on the border of Syria by Iran-backed forces.
CLAIM: “The Trump administration resulted in a trade deficit — one of the highest we’ve ever seen in the history of America,” Harris said.
VERDICT: FALSE. The trade deficit climbed to around $653 billion in Trump’s final year as president, in part because of depressed global demand for U.S. goods and services and a U.S. economy that recovered sooner than most other developed economies. But it never rose to the levels seen under President George W. Bush or the Biden-Harris administration. In fact, the trade deficit under Biden-Harris has never been as low as it was under Trump
CLAIM: Harris claimed that she supports Israel, after Donald Trump said she “hates” it.
VERDICT: MOSTLY FALSE. Harris has hired radical anti-Israel advisers and threatened to cut off weapons to Israel if it entered Rafah, she ignored Netanyahu on his most recent visit (after she was the presumptive nominee) not meeting him at the airport and boycotting his speech to congress to instead go to a sorority party, she offers only rhetorical support of Israel .
CLAIM: Harris INCORRECTLY labeled Trump tariff plan as a national sales tax. And claimed his tax would raise prices to consumers by $4000 a year.
Verdict: false. Inflation was very low during Trump’s presidency, including after his imposition of tariffs. In the first year of his presidency, prior to the imposition of tariffs, the consumer price index rose by 2.13 percent. In 2018, consumer prices rose by two percent. In 2020, prices rose by 2.5 percent. In 2021, prices rose by just 1.3 percent. By contrast, inflation soared under the Biden-Harris administration. In 2021, consumer prices rose 7.2 percent. In 2022, prices rose 6.4 percent. Last year, prices rose 3.2 percent.
CLAIM: Kamala Harris said: “Donald Trump left us the worst unemployment since the Great Depression.”
VERDICT: FALSE. Unemployment was 6.4% in January 2021 when trump left office, lower than it was in 2014, under Obama. Unemployment spiked to 14.8% in April 2020, only because of coronavirus-related shutdowns in democrat run states, When Biden took office, they inherited an economy that was already recovering.
I don't know if this was obvious to everyone else, but I just realised that one of the reasons why the Hobbit is so effective as a children's book is that while Bilbo is an adult, the skills that make him a hero are all those of a child.
By human standards he's child-sized, which makes him unobtrusive and light on his feet. He can slip by unnoticed where bigger people can't.
He's good at playing games, and even cheats (successfully!) in a way that - let's face it - is not so different to how children try to cheat at games. He's polite in a way that's fully comprehensible to children (rather than, say, being able to perform courtly manners). He's quick-witted, but the trick of keeping the trolls talking is also one that would be achievable for a child.
He doesn't have magic powers, he's not a great fighter, and he's not some kind of Chosen One. There's not much that he does that couldn't be done by a ten-year-old, but the story shows just how valuable all those skills and traits are. It's very empowering.
I know “thought” and “Catholic” kinda destroy each other like matter and anti-matter, but what the heck, I will give it a go anyway. Just remember, denying and/or ignoring these facts does not make them less true.
1. Hitler was a Catholic and claimed in all his writings and speeches that he was “doing God’s work.”
We only get 3 months of decent weather in Washington and you can't take August away from me. It is summer. Agree or fight me. :)
