The leaders of misinformation have resurfaced, and notably, they have decided to unleash a lecture on how to spot the very falsehoods they’re infamous for peddling. Biden and his loyal sidekick, the ever-grinning Kamala Harris, now take to the podium as so-called guardians against misinformation, even though their past pronouncements have been the very definition of misleading. The irony is rich: one claimed she wasn’t the border czar while being neck-deep in border crises, and the other swore up and down that Hunter Biden’s hard drive was a Russian smear job—right before anyone could connect the dots. But here they are, attempting to school the public about facts and fantasies.
Biden’s response to criticism over his ineffectual handling of recent natural disasters has been more than just a tap dance; it resembles a desperate bid for validation. He was quick to chastise both the media and Donald Trump for supposedly spreading “reckless” rumors about his performance following Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton. Apparently, he completely forgot that he’s been in charge of this shipwreck all along. Instead of owning up to shortcomings, he deflects by pointing fingers, proclaiming that criticism equals disinformation—an oddly convenient excuse for his administration’s frequent miscalculations.

Interestingly, Biden cited instances of “misinformation” in an effort to construct a narrative that pinned the blame on Trump. However, the former president’s alleged “onslaught” of lies was never substantiated with tangible examples. This throws the idea of accountability right out the window. One has to wonder: should there not be a minimum quota of examples required if one is to declare an “onslaught” of lies? But of course, common sense takes a backseat to the political stunt of the day.
Even more comical is the president’s attempt to fact-check Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene’s whimsical remarks about government-controlled weather patterns. When Biden—clearly in need of some humor therapy—condemns her statement as ridiculous, it just adds to the absurdity of the whole charade. Here stands the man who has painted the political landscape with far graver conspiracies, pretending to uphold a higher ground while delivering absurd PR stunts. Meanwhile, the media plays the dutiful hype machine, framing it as if old Joe had just delivered a death blow to Greene’s alleged folly.
As if this circus weren’t enough, Biden’s administration is still trying to explain away their monetary priorities while people are clamoring for hurricane aid. Alejandro Mayorkas was in the hot seat after revealing a lack of funds for disaster relief, yet he somehow found all that cash to provide illegal immigrants with lavish amenities. When confronted, the press secretary responded with more of that classic bureaucratic dodge—labeling the criticism as “misinformation.” It begs the question: where exactly do they draw the line between actual facts and their preferred version of reality?
In the grand tapestry of political theater, the fruits of this administration’s labor have become harder to swallow. Their increasingly thin skin towards criticism and the constant deflection speak volumes about their grasp on truth. So, as Biden’s team works to silence dissent and spin their version of reality, all that remains is to ponder if they truly believe their own tall tales or if they simply think the American people are too naïve to notice the discrepancies.
