Those of you who patronize the mainstream Lap Dog media in hopes of learning the news, this Summer are being treated to almost daily “revelations” documenting the myriad lies that were peddled for truth by Hillary Clinton, Il Duce Obama, Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden, and their various henchmen.

These so called revelations are presented as “now it can be told,” bombshells, but they’re really not new.  The truth is that these facts have been known at least since 2017.  They were told, but you just weren’t paying attention, and that’s not entirely your fault.  You’ve been lied to for so long, that it’s difficult for you to recognize the truth.

It’s been more than 140 years since Grover Cleveland proclaimed, “Public service is a public trust.”  We might debate whether that was true when Cleveland said it, but it sure ain’t true now.  The reason for this lies in the character of the people we elect to office.

Back in 1884, Joseph Pulitzer gave four reasons for endorsing Grover Cleveland.  “One, he is an honest man.  Two, he is an honest man.  Three, he is an honest man.  Four, he is honest.”  Nowadays, the focus isn’t on the candidate’s character.    Indeed, honesty doesn’t even seem to be important.

Politics has never been the bailiwick of saints or philosopher kings, but our leaders at least pretended to be honest custodians of the public welfare.  Sure, politicians always hid the truth, or shaded the truth to the extent they could, but at the end of the day, there were journalists willing to set the record straight.  Not anymore.  This didn’t happen overnight, and it’s not purely an American phenomenon.

Otto von Bismarck  observed, “People never lie so much as after a hunt, during a war or before an election.”

William Butler Yeats said it in rhyme.  “A statesman is an easy man, he tells his lies by rote.  A journalist invents his lies, and rams them down your throat.  So stay at home and drink your beer and let the neighbors vote.”

Of the  Soviet Union, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn said, “In our country the lie has become not just a moral category but a pillar of the State.”  Russian writer Elena Gorokhova expanded on this theme.  “The rules are simple: they lie to us, we know they’re lying, they know we know they’re lying but they keep lying anyway, and we keep pretending to believe them.”

Harry Truman might have been joking when he said,  “My choice early in life was either to be a piano player in a whorehouse or a politician.  To tell the truth, there’s hardly a difference.”  Truman was on to something.  The late P.J. O’Rourke entitled one of his books about Congress, Parliament of Whores.

Harry Truman also famously said of Richard Nixon, “There was a man who would never tell the truth when a simple lie would do.”  Truman would be distressed to learn that today’s Democrats have put Nixon to shame.

The Democrats have raised lying to an art form.  They’ve taken to heart the saying, “How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice,” but paraphrased it, “How do you gain and then maintain power?  Lie your asses off.”  They have refined this practice over many years, with the aid of alleged journalists whose motto is, “You lie, and we’ll swear to it.”

Just think about the sheer volume of shit that was peddled for truth by the Democrats.  “You can keep your plan, you can keep your doctor, and costs will go down.”  “The border is secure.”  “Joe Biden is sharp as a tack”  When in power, Democrats tell us, “The economy has never been better.”  “We created millions of jobs.”  When out of power, “It’s the worst economy since the Great Depression.”  “There’s rampant unemployment.”  They lie with impunity, secure in the knowledge that their lies will be repeated often enough by the media to convince the unsuspecting that they’re true.

This is a tactic has come to be known as The Big Lie.  The idea is, “If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed.”  This quotation often is attributed to Joseph Goebbels.  In reality, it comes from psychiatrist  Walter Langer, who while employed by the OSS, authored a psychoanalysis of Adolph Hitler.

Langer’s observation wasn’t original.  The 18th Century poet William Shenstone wrote, “A liar begins with making falsehood appear like truth, and ends with making truth itself appear like falsehood.”  The Democrats have truly mastered this art.  Which brings me to the inspiration for the title of this week’s offering, which comes from former Congressman Ron Paul, “Truth is treason in the empire of lies.”

And lying is the Democrats’ stock in trade.  Lying about Donald Trump has been the entirety of Democrat policy since 2015.  They told us Trump is racist.  He’s not.  Trump is anti-Semitic.  He has a Jewish daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren.  He has been the best friend in the White House that Israel has ever had, so he clearly is not.

My favorite Democrat lie is “Trump is a fascist.”  I’ve told you before.  Benito Mussolini’s definition of fascism was:  “Everything inside the State; nothing outside the State, and nothing against the State.”  That could be the motto of the Democrat Party.

In 2016 – “Trump will crash the economy.”  It soared.  Taxes were cut.  Lower income Americans benefited most.  Unemployment was negligible.

I have documented the multitude of lies that branded Trump a Russian agent.  They used the lies to cripple his first term.  How many times did Adam Schiff  (for brains) and Eric Swallwell tell us they had seen the evidence that now admittedly never existed.  Potential prosecutions are being contemplated.  Some Democrats are still repeating those lies.

In 2021, Democrats lied about the Covid vaccine, and used their lies to try to imprison Americans, and shut down the the economy.

Democrats lied about what they called the Inflation Reduction Act, which resulted in 9% inflation.

In 2024 and 2025 Democrats told us again Trump would crash the economy.  A lie.  The stock market would crash and bring about a depression.  As this is written the market is at record highs.   They said the tariffs would result in inflation.  A lie.  Trump has finalized trade agreements that greatly benefit the United States.  They said store shelves would be empty.  Lie.  Economic growth would be 1.8%.  The latest numbers show it is over 3%.  Tariff revenue in July alone is over $150 billion.  The Treasury reported a surplus in April.  Not to be outdone, as this is written, Democrats are calling these statistics “a mirage,” clearly embracing British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli’s observation that “there are lies, damned lies, and statistics.”  Democrats excel in each of these categories.

Democrat reaction to Trump’s illegal alien deportations is nothing more than a tissue of lies.  Democrats say no work will get done.  Restaurants will close.  Lawns will go unmown.  One elected Democrat imbecile in Vermont even said, removing illegal aliens was a matter of “national survival,” because without them, “who will wipe our ass?”  Oh, the horror!  Instead of economic ruin,  American employment, and American incomes are rising faster than ever before.  Yet they keep on lying.

“ICE is grabbing children from schools.”  Lie.  “People are being torn from churches.”  Lie.  “Citizens are being ‘disappeared.'”  Lie.

And what have Democrats gained from their decades of lying?  Democrat approval is at all time lows, around 33%.  Yet they have learned nothing.  All of the above presents American voters with a clear choice in upcoming elections.  Republicans aren’t perfect, God knows.  But who will better serve your interests?  The Party that actually does what it’s promised to do, or the Party that pees on your leg, and then tells you it’s raining?
