PBS & CNN Call Out Biden’s Lies In DNC Speech!
7 minutes readEDITOR—Joe Biden’s speech Monday at the DNC was so full of whoppers that even mainstream media outlets typically in the tank for establishment Democrats like PBS and CNN took note, running “Fact check” pieces on the President. Among his lies included widely-debunked accusations against Donald Trump as well as outrageous exaggerations of his own accomplishments in office. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the parade of lies and fearmongering reflected in what will likely be the last major speech of Biden’s presidency.

SCOTT RITTER—I got to know Phil in 2002, when he returned to the television talk show circuit on MSNBC as the host of Donahue.
America was, at that time, collectively beating the drums of war, with the Bush administration making the case that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction that posed a threat to world peace sufficient enough to justify a military invasion.
Phil, however, thought it was important to ask questions before signing on to the government case for war. He asked his producer, Jeff Cohen, to find a voice in opposition to the war. Jeff called me, and asked if I would be the guest on Phil’s premier. I accepted.

GEORGE GALLOWAY: Harris a “Communist” says Trump; World on the Brink in Various Flashpoints
6 minutes readEDITORS—George’s monologue focuses again on the indescribable tragedy of Gaza, and the fact no country in the Axis of Resistance has yet made a decisive military move to stop the ongoing genocide. Of course, both sides know that an all-out war could destroy much of the Middle East and plunge the world into a horrendous economic and military crisis. The need for restraint in responding to Israel’s and Kiev’s revoltingly irresponsible provocations is, therefore, unfortunately, a serious factor. George also comments on the appalling dishonesty (later elaborated by Garland Nixon) underscoring US politics, wherein candidate Trump (himself an improbable choice in a genuine democracy) has the gall to call his opponent, Democrat Kamala Harris, a communist, something that could only happen in a massively ignorant nation, product of untold generations of unrelenting anti-communist brainwashing.
