As the 2024 election approaches, the left-wing corporate media have lost all interest in President Biden’s frequent lies about his life and career. In the past, these journalists have paid brief attention to the one of President’s latest tall tales, but rarely have they ever bothered to revisit them when the moment has passed. No matter how frequently Biden may lie, the media refuse to see a pattern. As NewsBusters executive editor Tim Graham has noted, prominent Biden fact-checkers spend a great deal of time disputing negative claims about Biden, yet they show little interest in fact-checking the man himself. Thanks to this favoritism, the President has gotten away with telling a host of utterly false or unproven stories about his own life. Some of these stories are less than a month old, while others have popped up multiple times throughout Biden’s decades-long political career. See for yourself how many of these fibs the media would prefer we all conveniently forget:  

Last Thursday, Senator Katie Britt (R-AL) teamed up with fellow Republican Senators Kevin Cramer (ND) and Marco Rubio (FL) to unveil the More Opportunities for Moms to Succeed (MOMS) Act aimed at giving pregnant women a federally-backed “clearinghouse” of resources — called Pregnancy.gov — for “expecting and postpartum moms, as well as those with young children,” and create grants for caregiving organizations helping women enter the world of parenting. Along with expanding child support to include a woman’s pregnancy, a press release from the senators said the MOMS Act would “provide critical support to women during typically challenging phases of motherhood – prenatal, postpartum, and early childhood development – and bolster access to resources and assistance to help mothers and their children thrive.” Not surprisingly, the far-left, abortion-loving liberal media have decided to be as focused on defeating this pro-life bill with misinformation as they were about pushing women to murder their unborn children. In story after story, the liberal media have claimed the bill would create a database of women currently pregnant for the federal government - in some liberal dystopia/twisted fantasy - to surveil women to prevent abortions. The problem? It’s all voluntary and shy from divulging one’s location. The Guardian went full send with a headline beyond parody: “Katie Britt proposes federal database to collect data on pregnant people; Republican US senator from Alabama best known for delivering widely ridiculed State of the Union speech in March”. Writer Léonie Chao-Fong doubled down with a disregard for biology, claiming without evidence the bill “create[s] a federal database to collect data on pregnant people” by having them “enter their personal data and contact information.” Chao-Fong also whined: “[t]he bill specifically forbids any entity that ‘performs, induces, refers for, or counsels in favor of abortions’ from being listed in the database, which would in effect eliminate swaths of OB-GYN services and sexual health clinics across the country.” Yes, Léonie, the point is to give women facing sudden pregnancies options beyond abortion. NBCNews.com and longtime Rachel Maddow producer Steve Benen piled on in a story whining about the bill giving federal funds to pro-life pregnancy crisis centers and pedaled the lie about HHS becoming a surveillance agency (click “expand”): This is, to be sure, standard GOP fare. Republican officials tend to be uncomfortable with the idea that the party’s sole focus in this area is imposing abortion restrictions, and the MOMS Act appears designed to package familiar GOP measures on the issue. The fact that these senators intend to extend grants to so-called “crisis pregnancy centers” is part of the conservative agenda, and a reminder of why the legislation doesn’t have — and won’t have — any Democratic support in the chamber. But a HuffPost report noted that the Pregnancy.gov provisions in the bill are drawing additional scrutiny because they allegedly raise the prospect of “a federal database storing information on pregnant people.” It was against this backdrop that Democratic Sen. Patty Murray of Washington joined with 10 other Senate Democratic women to denounce Britt’s bill, saying it would, among other things, “create a new government-run website to collect data on pregnant women and direct them to anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers.” To be sure, Britt’s office has thoroughly rejected the idea that the legislation is designed to create some kind of “registry,” but the press release from the 11 Senate Democratic women added that under the Pregnancy.gov plan, the website would “encourage users to provide their contact information, ‘which the Secretary may use to conduct outreach via phone or email to follow up with users’ — meaning that pregnant women would be encouraged to provide data to a potential Trump administration and potentially allow a government bureaucrat to follow up with them about the status of their pregnancy.” The tools at HuffPost did the same in a piece with the headline “Critics Rip Sen. Katie Britt For Celebrating Moms With ‘Handmaid’s Tale’ Like Proposal” and hilariously then referred to women as “pregnant people”. Yahoo! News promptly cross-posted this under the same headline. Salon and Raw Story weren’t going to be left out either. Cue the laugh tracks for the latter’s headline: “Katie Britt shredded for ‘Handmaid’s Tale’-type proposal to ‘register’ pregnant women”. At Salon, they melted down at women even being told groups that support women and babies exit: “The bill also outlines the creation of a database of ‘pregnancy support centers,’ or crisis centers, which critics say provide women with misleading information in an effort to keep them from having abortions.” Someone call GLAAD on HuffPost, NBC, Raw Story, and the like for using the term “pregnant women!” Now, for the facts. Here was a piece from the (now digital-only) Alabama newspaper conglomerate AL.com: Britt spokesman Sean Ross said users are not required to register or log in to the site to search for resources. The website will not ask for the user’s pregnancy status or for personally identifiable information. “These social media posts are intentionally, flagrantly false,” Ross said. Website users could voluntarily enter their contact information if they wanted personal follow up from a staff member at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Those services would also be available to friends and family members who are not pregnant if an individual was worried about sharing her information with the website. The website would invite users to take an assessment and provide consent to be contacted. The website would not require people to take the assessment to receive more information about local resources, Ross said. “Through the website, anyone can view the relevant resources in a given locale without disclosing any personally identifiable information to the government,” Ross said. The headline, however, only met Britt halfway with a scoffing headline: “Claims that bill would create registry of pregnant women ‘flagrantly false,’ says staff for Alabama Sen. Katie Britt.”

The original group of hunger strikers at Princeton University decided to end their radical form of protesting after 10 days when it became clear the elite college was not going to give in to their demands anytime soon. In a post on Princeton Divest Now's Instagram story on Sunday, the group said the 13 protesters ended the hunger strike out of "health concerns." PDN further revealed the original 13 protesters were replaced with seven new hunger strikers "in the tradition of rotary hunger strikes." PDN reported there were an additional nine people who were participating in a "solidarity fast." 'Since that time, the university has failed to actually engage with our demands ...' — (@) Prior to ending the first "wave" of the protest, a spokesman for the group gave their disappointment in Princeton not agreeing to their demands. “Since we began our hunger strike, we've had simple demands: We want a meeting and good faith negotiations with the university to talk about disclosure and divestment from companies involved in the Israeli occupation. And we want amnesty from legal and disciplinary charges for students that have been arrested for peaceful protests," he said. "Since that time, the university has failed to actually engage with our demands and they've made clear that they still fail to acknowledge that a genocide is even occurring... it has failed to allow the hunger strikers to end their strike by meeting our very simple requests," he continued. — (@) In addition to not eating, the protesters had been staying outside on campus property. But in order to avoid a sweep by law enforcement, the group agreed to not set up tents. This resulted in protesters and their supporters having to set up improvised shelters with tarps and umbrellas to keep out of the rain. "On the third day of Princeton’s Hunger Strike for Gaza, as the temperatures fall and rain continues, [Princeton] admin refuses still to allow our strikers to have tents, leaving them huddled under umbrellas, vulnerable and unsafe. Shameful and cruel," a supporter of the group posted on X. The reason for doing a hunger strike was to highlight the food insecurity in the Gaza Strip. Tons of aid items have been delivered to Gaza, but it has been marred by Hamas stealing the supplies for itself or reselling it at high prices. Hamas also took credit for attacking the Kerem Shalom border crossing, a vital crossing point for humanitarian aid to enter the southern end of the Gaza Strip. The attacks have resulted in the crossing point being closed for different periods of time, delaying aid going into the war zone.Like Blaze News?

UFC President Dana White said that he is certainly open to UFC stars making appearances in the WWE wrestling ring since the two companies merged under TKO Group Holdings, Inc. in 2023.White spoke at a press conference following a UFC fight night in St. Louis, Missouri, where he was asked whether he was okay with his fighters competing or appearing in WWE pay-per-views.'You remember Gold Dust? Probably something like that. As long as I get to paint my face.'"Some of the fighters who fight here, you know, have always dreamed about doing a WWE match or whatever it is, and yeah, I don't have a problem with that," he revealed."I mean I didn't have a problem with that when Vince [McMahon] was consistently f***ing me for no reason, and you know now that's not the case anymore. Obviously, I would absolutely do it," White said, speaking of the former WWE chairman.A reporter pointed out that there have been several MMA and WWE crossovers, namely wrestlers named Bobby Lashley and Jake Hager. Lashley, who was a professional wrestler first, went 15-2 in MMA fighting from 2006-2018 but never in the UFC. The same goes for Hager, who fought four times between 2019-2020, going 3-0 with a no-contest. His last fight was at 38 years old.As for former UFC fighters, both Brock Lesnar and Ronda Rousey enjoyed time in both sports. While Rousey fully joined the WWE after retiring, Lesnar is the only fighter to compete at the highest level possible while being fully immersed in both sports. Lesnar won at least 10 world championships in the WWE and also won the UFC heavyweight championship in 2008 and defended it twice.Reporters brought to White's attention however, that a current heavyweight fighter was expressing interest in the WWE."We were talking to Derrick Lewis this week and he had mentioned that he might have been in talks with WWE," a reporter told the UFC president. "I didn't know that, but I would do anything for Derrick Lewis. I really like Derrick Lewis," White replied.Lewis said later at the same press conference that he had plans to visit WWE facilities in Orlando, Florida, in the coming weeks."I wouldn't stop here at UFC, but I would like to dibble dabble in WWE," Lewis told reporters.When asked what his wrestling attire might be, he likened himself to Dustin Rhodes' character Goldust."It's probably going to be — you remember Goldust? Probably something like that. As long as I get to paint my face so people don't really know it's me ... I'm going to be a whole freak out there and be a little sassy with it," the heavyweight added.Like Blaze News?

When Target decided to begin selling clothing specifically designed for transgender people — and even children — the backlash was understandably swift. Now, Target is limiting which stores will sell LGBTQ-themed products following the backlash and will no longer be selling Pride apparel for children. “If I understand Target correctly,” Steve Deace comments, “the company position is that they will only sell total depravity to the markets that want that content, that want to consume total depravity.” “They’re just market-force capitalist now,” Todd Erzen adds, though Aaron McIntire disagrees with an interesting prediction of his own. “Target’s going to backtrack on this,” McIntire says. “It’s a two-for-one backtrack special, okay? But while doing the backtracking, Target is going to become the official department store of UFC, and it’s going to be unpatriotic not to buy your toddler, I don’t know, chest binders.” “That’s what’s going to happen,” he continues. “Kid Rock will do some sit-down with Joe Rogan, ‘Cut Target a break,’” Deace adds, joking.Want more from Steve Deace?To enjoy more of Steve's take on national politics, Christian worldview, and principled conservatism with a snarky twist, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

Non-governmental organizations have raked in huge profits from the Biden administration’s open border crisis, according to a recent report from the Free Press.In particular, NGOs tasked with providing services to unaccompanied minors receive substantial amounts of taxpayer funds through generous federal grants. The funds have been used by the organizations to increase the salaries of CEOs and offer services, including pet therapy, music therapy, and “people-plant interactions” or “horticulture therapy.”The Free Press revealed that the combined revenue of three prominent NGOs — Global Refuge, Southwest Key Programs, and Endeavors, Inc. — grew from $597 million in 2019 to $2 billion in 2022. Numbers for 2023 have not yet been released. The CEOs of Global Refuge and Endeavors earn over $500,000, while the CEO of Southwest Key makes more than $1 million, the news outlet reported.'The amount of taxpayer money [the NGOs] are getting is obscene.'A music therapist hired by Endeavors earned $533,000 in 2021. That same year, the organization paid a hotel management company $8 million to house illegal immigrants. The NGO obtains more than 99% of its revenue from federal tax dollars, the Free Press reported.The Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration for Children and Families, which distributes funds to NGOs, had a 250% budget increase between 2018 and 2023.Jessica Vaughan, director of policy studies at the Center for Immigration Studies, told the Free Press that the Biden administration has increased the amount of taxpayer dollars going to NGOs. She noted that there is a “lack of accountability for performance, and the lack of interest in solving the problem.”The news outlet revealed that Global Refuge housed 2,591 unaccompanied children with a $30 million budget in 2019. A few years later, the organization used $82.5 million and only housed 1,443 unaccompanied minors. Global Refuge told the Free Press, “Unaccompanied children attend six hours of daily education and participate in recreational activities, both at the education site and within the community.”Charles Marino, former adviser to Janet Napolitano, the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security during the Obama administration, told the news outlet, “The amount of taxpayer money [the NGOs] are getting is obscene.”“We’re going to find that the waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer money will rival what we saw with the Covid federal money,” Marino remarked.Endeavors declined a request for comment from the Free Press. Southwest Key Programs did not respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.Like Blaze News?

The clerk for the City of Green Bay, Wisconsin — a crucial swing state that could determine the winner of the 2024 presidential election — has admitted that she has not "strictly" followed state election laws regarding Election Day registration, but she claims she will do better going forward.Last month, the Public Interest Legal Fund filed a complaint with the Wisconsin Elections Commission against Celestine Jeffreys, who became the Green Bay city clerk shortly after the contentious 2020 election. According to the complaint, Jeffreys has regularly failed to report those who register to vote on Election Day but who apparently do not live at the address they gave.'It’s not often you have an elected official admit she doesn’t know the law.'According to a report from the Federalist, Wisconsin is one of 20 states and the District of Columbia which permit Election Day voter registration. Before casting a ballot, Wisconsinites who register to vote on Election Day must show proof of residence and "must affirm in writing that they have resided at their residence 'for at least 28 consecutive days immediately preceding this election,'" the complaint stated.After the election, the state will then mail postcards to everyone who registered to vote on Election Day as part of a state-mandated post-election audit. Any such postcards that cannot be delivered are automatically delivered to the clerk of the city where the individual registered to vote.For each undeliverable postcard received, a city clerk is responsible for changing the elector from "eligible to ineligible" on the voter registration list, alerting the individual about this change, and reporting the elector's name to the county district attorney and the elections commission, the complaint claimed.However, "Jeffreys failed to do this part of her job at every turn," the Federalist alleged, citing the complaint.Indeed, the complaint indicates that Jeffreys has repeatedly failed to report hundreds of such electors as required by law. For example, on Election Day 2020, 3,497 Wisconsin electors registered to vote. Of those, 170 postcards were deemed undeliverable and thus sent to the Green Bay City Clerk's Office. Yet, "the City of Green Bay Clerk’s office inactivated zero registrants and referred zero registrants to the district attorney," the complaint said.Such was the case in the 2021 elections, the primary and general elections of 2022, and the 2023 spring election, the complaint said. During that time, Jeffreys' office received dozens of postcards for Election Day registrants but inactivated almost no electors and seemingly reported no one to the district attorney."When Clerk Jeffreys receives undeliverable Election Day Registration postcards, her current procedure is to record the postcards as undeliverable in WisVote and take no further action," the complaint said.In a complaint response, which was submitted late last month by Green Bay Assistant City Attorney Lindsay Matther, Jeffreys admitted that she had not followed state election laws as well as she might have but blamed her missteps on ignorance of the law rather than any sort of malicious intent."Clerk Jeffreys concedes that she has not been strictly adhering to the statutory requirements ... but the failure to do so was inadvertent and due to a lack of awareness of the statutory requirements, and not the result of any willful violation of state law," said the response, which was signed by Jeffreys.Jeffreys now vows to do better, the response said. "Upon receipt of this complaint, Clerk Jeffreys began formulating a plan for addressing the undeliverable postcards going forward that algins (sic) with both the statutory requirements and the guidance from the Wisconsin Elections Commission, and she will comply with both for all future elections," it said.Lauren Bowman Bis, director of communications for the Public Interest Legal Fund, called Jeffreys' actions "unbelievable." "People need to have faith and trust in their elected officials," she said."It’s not often you have an elected official admit she doesn’t know the law," Bowman noted. "... This doesn’t just affect the people in Green Bay or Wisconsin. We all want faith in our elections, that the rules are being followed. In Green Bay, that’s not the case.""This is bad."Jeffreys did not respond to Blaze News' request for comment.Like Blaze News?
