Congressional Budget Office projections provide valuable insights into how a big chunk of your income is being spent and reveal the long-term consequences of our government’s current fiscal policies — you may endure them, and your children most certainly will. If inflation, as I fear, doesn’t go away as fast as predicted by CBO … it will slow growth, increase interest rates, and massively expand the deficit. Yet, like most other projections looking into our future, these numbers should be taken with a grain of salt. So should claims that CBO projections validate anyone’s fiscal track record. So much can and likely will happen to make projections moot and our fiscal outlook much grimmer. Unforeseen events, economic changes, and policy decisions render them less accurate over time. The CBO knows this and recently released alternative scenarios based on different sets of assumptions, and it doesn’t look good. It remains a wonder that more politicians, now given a more realistic range of possibilities, aren’t behaving like it. (READ MORE from Veronique De Rugy: Biden Points the Bill (and the Blame) Elsewhere) First, let’s recap what the situation looks like under the usual rosy growth, inflation, and interest-rate assumptions. Due to continued overspending, this year’s deficit will be at least $1.6 trillion, rising to $2.6 trillion by 2034. Debt held by the public equals roughly 99 percent of our economy (measured by gross domestic product) annually, heading to 116 perccent in 2034. The only reason these numbers won’t be as high as projected last year is that a few House Republicans fought hard to impose some spending caps during the debt-ceiling debate. The long-term outlook is even scarier, with public debt reaching 166 percent of GDP in 30 years and all federal debt reaching 180 percent. No one should be surprised. To be sure, the COVID-19 pandemic and the Great Recession made things worse, but we’ve been on this path for decades. Unfortunately, if any of the assumptions underlying these projections change again, things will get a lot worse. That’s where CBO’s alternative paths help. Policymakers and the public can better see the potential risks and opportunities associated with various fiscal policy choices, enabling them to make more informed decisions. For instance, the CBO highlights that if the labor force grows annually by just 0.1 fewer percentage points than originally projected — even if the unemployment rate stays the same — slower economic growth will lead to a deficit $142 billion larger than baseline projections between 2025 and 2034. A similarly small slowdown in the productivity rate would lead to an added deficit of $304 billion over that period. Back in 2020, the prevalent theory among those who claimed we shouldn’t worry about debt was that interest rates were remarkably low and would stay low forever. As if. These guys have since learned what many of us have known for years: that interest rates can and will go up when the situation gets bad enough. So, what happens if rates continue to rise above and beyond those CBO used in its projections? Even a minuscule 0.1-point rise above the baseline would produce an additional $324 billion on the deficit over the 2025-2034 period. The same is true with inflation, which, as every shopper can see, has yet to be defeated. If inflation, as I fear, doesn’t go away as fast as predicted by CBO — largely because debt accumulation is continuing unabated — it will slow growth, increase interest rates, and massively expand the deficit. To be precise, an increase in overall prices of just 0.1 points over the CBO baseline would result in higher interest rates and a deficit of $263 billion more than projected. Now, imagine all these variations from the current projections happening simultaneously. It’s a real possibility. The deficit hike would be enormous, which could then trigger even more inflation and higher interest rates. The question that remains is: Why aren’t politicians on both sides more worried than they seem to be? What needs to happen before they finally decide to treat our fiscal situation as a real threat? President Joe Biden doesn’t want to tackle the debt issue. In fact, he’s actively adding to the debt with student loan forgiveness, subsidies to big businesses and other nonsense. Meanwhile, some Republicans pay lip service to our financial crisis, but few are willing to tackle the real problem of entitlement spending. (READ MORE: Social Security Reform Is Coming (Really) and Will Bring Political Rewards) The time for political posturing is over. The longer we wait to address these issues, the more severe the consequences will be for future generations. It’s time for our leaders to prioritize the nation’s long-term economic health over short-term political gains and take bold steps toward fiscal responsibility. Only then can we hope to secure a stable and prosperous future for all Americans.

Earlier today I brought you this report: One Of These People Is NOT Joe Biden It's not even up for debate anymore, this is not the same person. Nor is it the same person we saw earlier in the week, or last week, or the person we will see tomorrow....you get the idea. It appears very clear at this point that there are several different "versions" of Joe Biden. And no, it's not just camera angles and lighting. There are objectively, demonstrably multiple different versions of Joe Biden floating around. No, I'm not saying clones or that he was executed in GITMO in 2018.... I'm not going there. But I don't have to. I don't have to have the entire thing figured out or know exactly what is going on (actors in CIA masks seems the most plausible), all I have to do is use my eyes and my brain and it's painfully obvious these are all not the same person. But earlier today I just showed you those two pictures. Now people have sent me many more. Check out these six: Which one is the real one? pic.twitter.com/T50MA0RYZ6 — Liz Churchill (@liz_churchill10) June 16, 2024 Which is the real Joe? Is the real Joe even in that montage of 6 photos? Folks....just look at top middle and top right and that tells you all you need to know. One has a "ballsack" chin and the other has a very pronounced strong, flat chin. NOT. THE. SAME. GUY. That's really not even up for debate at this point. Or how about this one? Again look at just the chins and you see all you need to see: So many Joes pic.twitter.com/bVEP13E5Gl — Enlightenment (@neEnlightenment) June 16, 2024 Six more here: Here's a few more ....... pic.twitter.com/j10r431Bwr — Coyote Junction (@Dos_colinas) June 16, 2024 So....what's going on? I'll post my original report directly below and I give you my thoughts in there: One Of These People Is NOT Joe Biden Look folks, I don't even know what to tell you about this, so I'm just going to show you. I don't know what is actually going on with Joe Biden... I don't really buy into the whole "clones" thing... I do think there's a lot of merit to the idea that we are seeing different people in masks "play" Joe Biden (I'll explain why in a minute).... But I do know one thing for sure, and that is this is not the same person in these two photos and only one of these people is actually Joe Biden -- even accounting for aging and so forth: Where is the real Joe Biden? pic.twitter.com/qTb1KJXRoY — MAVERICK X (@MAVERIC68078049) June 16, 2024 Yes folks, that picture on the right is a real picture and they just tried to pass that off as Joe Biden. Do your eyes deceive you? Or do you trust what you see? It comes from this photo of "Joe Biden" hanging out with Barack Obama and Jimmy Kimmel: Biden Clone #18 is both the oldest & most unrealistic of all the clones. pic.twitter.com/DgYdmOcvAt — Concerned Citizen (@BGatesIsaPyscho) June 16, 2024 Yes, they're trying to tell us that's Joe Biden. Regardless of what you think about whether it's someone in a mask or not, just ask yourself this: can you honestly say you think that looks like Joe Biden? I can't. Not even close. Pictures are worth a thousand words, just watch this for all the different "Bidens" we've seen in the past 4 years, can you really tell me this is all the same guy? What’s going on with Biden’s chin?@patrickbetdavid @VincentOshana pic.twitter.com/BIssfFbtXU — PBD Podcast (@PBDsPodcast) June 15, 2024 Or this one... Watch this short clip. Same guy in all of this? "Joe Biden" is a clone..... The real one has been gone for a while...#WeWantAnswers #Biden #BidenClone #NWO #illuminati #FakeBiden pic.twitter.com/yNj8PbWbvr — Isaac’s Army (@ReturnOfKappy) July 13, 2023 I'm not here to convince you of anything.... And I'm not here to promote "conspiracy theories". I'm not even drawing any conclusions here, I'm just asking one very simple question to everyone reading this: WHAT DO YOUR EYES SEE? Of course we just had this happen earlier this week: Can Anyone Tell Me What’s Going On With Joe Biden’s NECK Here? Some think it's Dana Carvey behind the mask: You Really Telling Me This Guy Isn’t Playing Joe Biden? Others think Jim Carrey: Is Jim Carrey Playing Joe Biden In A “Mask”? Ultimately, I don't know what's going on.... I don't think it's "clones" but I do think Masks are possible. Why? Because the CIA told us how advanced they were back in the 1990s. Did you know that? I can only imagine how much the technology has advanced in the 35+ years since then. Check this out: You Don't Have To Believe In Clones, You Just Need To See This... For nearly four years now, the world has watched as very strange things have happened to world leaders... For example, remember Germany's Angela Merkel shaking uncontrollably? Remember when Merkel was also shaking??!! Must be common among the guilty…… https://t.co/5OcckNaAVV pic.twitter.com/xL7aMA8DhJ — Fletch17 (@17ThankQ) March 28, 2024 Or how about Hillary having a similar "malfunction" and getting loaded into that van by men in black suits? Watch here: Remember when Hillary Clinton couldn't walk into this van on 9/11 pic.twitter.com/yY8q65aLug — Green Lives Matter (@Ultrafrog17) September 4, 2023 And then emerging later that day looking totally different.... That's the best part of all. Remember that? Remember when they tried to pass this off as Hillary Clinton? pic.twitter.com/6M51d3eKCz — DailyNoah.com (@DailyNoahNews) June 6, 2024 Close, but yet so far away. Or how about Joe Biden? How about the fact he looks nothing like the Biden of 10 years ago? Biden is the original on the left, Biden is the double on the right. The appearance is different. The voice is very similar. They are not the same person. pic.twitter.com/7NEu6lrc70 — ?ℝℙ_???????? ? President of the (@AllianceXrp) October 23, 2020 Or for that matter, why do there seem to be 3-4 different versions of Biden out there today that all look a bit different from each other? The new #clones will look older & have more moles/wrinkles. You'll see the difference. #SleepyJoe is being groomed to be the front runner but there are difficulties because a clone can mimic information & answer some questions, but isn't prepared for long intense communication. pic.twitter.com/0PXhxCksnZ — Kab (@Kabamur_Taygeta) August 9, 2019 Strange right? Ok, so what's going on then? The most common answers are Clones, Body Doubles, Executed at Gitmo, Actors in Masks. I think the whole "executed at Gitmo" now a clone stuff is nonsense. I have never promoted that. Until I see real evidence of that, I think that's just wacky. But I don't think it's wacky to say something is going on. Our eyes do not deceive us. So....what is it? As much as I think there is zero evidence for Gitmo/Clones, I think there is a TON of evidence for actors in masks....and I want to show it to you. You see, that's what we do here. We don't publish nonsense gibberish with no evidence, but we also don't shy away from stories that are outside the so-called "Mainstream" because that's often where you find the truth. So that said, please allow me to show you that mask technology is not only real, it's also so advanced you probably have no idea what they are capable of. Check this out: Former CIA Chief of Disguise -- "I Briefed Bush Sr. In A Mask And He Couldn't Tell!" Never in my life did I think the word "Mask" would come to play such an important and prolific role on the world stage. For 2 years we were forced to wear COVID masks... But there's also another kind of Mask that has rose to fame. One that I think will soon get a WHOLE lot more attention. The Costume Mask. I've often said on this website that I don't subscribe to the theory that Joe Biden is dead and has been replaced by clones. Sorry, not going there. But are there "multiple" Joe Biden's being played by Actors in Masks? That is NOT an unreasonable thing to believe. That's not just my opinion, that is former CIA "Chief of Disguise" telling you that Mask technology has become SO GOOD that she briefed President Bush (41) face to face (so to speak) while wearing a Mask and he couldn't tell! Understand that Bush Sr. was back in the 1990s. If the CIA had human Mask technology so good in the 1990s that it could fool the President when face-to-face with him, what do you think we have now? I'll show you some stunning videos below, but first here is more detail from ChatGPT about CIA Former Chief of Disguise Jonna Mendez and her role in creating the most lifelike human masks in history: Jonna Mendez served as the Chief of Disguise at the Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) Office of Technical Service in the late 20th century. She, along with her late husband Antonio Mendez, another notable figure in the world of espionage, played an instrumental role in developing innovative disguise technologies and methodologies that substantially improved the operations of field agents. Jonna's stint in the CIA culminated in the development of groundbreaking disguise technologies, including highly advanced masks that were capable of transforming the appearance of operatives. These masks and disguises were crucial for clandestine operations, providing agents with the means to blend in, avoid detection, and accomplish their missions undetected. Background Before delving into the intricacies of Mendez's work with masks, it is vital to understand her professional background. Mendez joined the CIA in the late 1960s. Over the years, she held multiple positions, evolving her skill set and adapting to the changing needs of intelligence operations. She held a critical role in crafting and providing innovative tools, gadgets, and disguises to field operatives, thereby enhancing their operational capabilities. Evolution of Disguise Technologies Mendez was instrumental in the evolution of disguise technologies at the CIA during the Cold War. Initially, the art of disguise was rudimentary, relying on wigs, makeup, and changes in clothing. However, the pressing need for more advanced technologies led to the inception of transformative masks that could alter an agent's identity in minutes. Mendez, leveraging her ingenuity and technical know-how, began exploring latex and other materials to construct lifelike masks capable of fooling even the most vigilant observers. These masks would meticulously replicate facial features, textures, and coloration, allowing agents to impersonate different individuals, irrespective of age, race, or gender. The Mastery of Masks The development and utilization of masks under Mendez’s leadership were paramount in ensuring the safety and success of agents in hostile territories. These masks were not mere accessories; they were intricate creations, designed with impeccable attention to detail, taking into account the individual attributes of the wearer and the person they were impersonating. Mendez’s masks allowed agents to assume new identities seamlessly, altering their appearance so drastically that they could operate in close proximity to people who were familiar with the individual being impersonated, without arousing suspicion. It was the culmination of meticulous craftsmanship, technical innovation, and a deep understanding of human perception. Technological Advancements The technological advancements in mask-making during Mendez’s era were revolutionary. The use of advanced materials and technologies facilitated the creation of masks that were not only visually convincing but were also comfortable and breathable, enabling agents to wear them for extended periods. These masks were complemented with elaborate costumes, altered voice modulations, and behavioral training to ensure that the disguise was holistic and unpenetrable. The advanced masks developed under Mendez's supervision were fitted with realistic hair, precise skin tones, and textures, and could even mimic wrinkles, scars, and other distinctive facial features. The precision and realism of these disguises were unprecedented and marked a significant leap in the art of disguise in espionage. High-Stake Operations Mendez’s innovations were particularly critical in high-stakes, sensitive operations where the margin for error was non-existent. The masks and disguise technologies she developed allowed agents to infiltrate hostile environments, gather crucial intelligence, exfiltrate assets, and conduct surveillance without compromising their true identities. These disguises were also integral in deception operations, enabling agents to manipulate adversaries’ perceptions and actions. The ability to assume multiple identities and operate covertly provided a strategic advantage in the convoluted geopolitical landscape of the Cold War era. Legacy and Contributions Jonna Mendez's work has left an indelible mark on the intelligence community. The advancements in disguise technology initiated by her have been integral in reshaping espionage tactics and methodologies. The masks and disguises developed under her watch were not just tools of deception; they were lifelines for operatives working in the shadows, ensuring their safety and the success of their missions. Moreover, Mendez has shared her knowledge and experiences through lectures, writings, and advisory roles, offering insights into the clandestine world of espionage and the significance of disguise in intelligence operations. Her revelations have not only enriched public knowledge about the workings of the intelligence community but have also highlighted the importance of innovation and technical acumen in the field of espionage. Modern Developments While the exact advancements in disguise technology post-Mendez's tenure remain classified, it can be inferred that the field has continued to evolve, integrating newer technologies and materials. The rapid progress in prosthetics, synthetic materials, digital technology, and biometrics may have led to the development of more advanced and sophisticated disguise techniques. Such advancements likely address the challenges posed by modern security measures and surveillance technologies. Conclusion Jonna Mendez’s tenure as the Chief of Disguise at the CIA marked a revolutionary period in the field of disguise technology. Her pioneering work in developing advanced, realistic masks significantly enhanced the capabilities of field agents, allowing them to assume new identities and perform covert operations with unprecedented efficacy. Mendez’s intricate masks and disguises were pivotal in several high-stake missions during the Cold War, providing agents with the means to infiltrate, exfiltrate, and gather crucial intelligence without compromising their safety. Her contributions to the intelligence community extend beyond her innovations, as she continues to educate the public about the role and significance of disguise in espionage. The advancements initiated by Mendez have paved the way for newer innovations, adapting to the evolving landscape of modern espionage and the challenges posed by sophisticated security and surveillance systems. Jonna Mendez’s legacy is a testament to the amalgamation of artistry, technical prowess, and strategic thinking in the service of national security, highlighting the relentless pursuit of excellence and innovation in the clandestine world of intelligence operations.

Wow! NEW VIDEO: Fake Joe Biden Mask Exposed? I've got a brand new video to share with you from our old friend Chris Yoon. You might remember we used to cover his videos a lot. He stopped posting for a bit but big thanks to a reader who sent me this latest link of his newest video. I think it's going to blow your mind, especially around the 8:00 minute mark. But please watch the whole thing before you comment. I'm not going to tell you for sure I know there is a man in a mask playing Joe Biden, but I am saying that every day that goes by that becomes MORE likely, not LESS likely. Especially when you see something like this. Just....wow. Also, if you think this is far-fetched, please watch the NEXT video I'll put below this one, showing how ESPN already did the same thing with Eli Manning. And that was on a football field with running, tackling and massive sweating. And it fooled everyone. If they can do that in football, how much easier would it be with "Sleepy Joe"? And hey, is this why he is so rarely seen in public and always has to "call a lid"? Is the mast hard to wear for long periods of time? Does it take a lot of time and effort to put on each day? So many questions. For now, I leave it in your hands to watch this and let me know what you think. Current Joe Biden: real or fake? Watch this and then decide: Backup here on Rumble if needed: Now as promised, I bring you one more video. If you think any of that is far-fetched, then you probably haven't seen what ESPN already did. This is wild. Keep reading... Don't Believe Biden Is An Actor Wearing a Mask? Then You Have To See This... Ok look, I'll say right off the bat I don' know for sure what's going on with Biden. And I'm not one of these people who thinks he was executed at GITMO 5 years ago and is now replaced by a clone. Not going there. But...being played by an actor? Or by multiple actors? Not far-fetched if you ask me. Especially considering how different he often looks. More on that farther down in this article. But right now I want to show you something that will probably blow your mind if you didn't realize just how good they've gotten with fake face masks. No, I don't mean COVID face masks. I mean, an entirely fake face put on somebody. I saw this clip on ESPN recently of Eli Manning (who is 41) who went "undercover" to Penn State to try and walk on as a college freshman. You know, about 18 years old. And guess what? After the fake face was put on, nobody recognized him! And here's the other part...they did a full day of football tryouts....running around, sweating, moving, hitting, the full deal.  And the fake face stayed on. So is it really that hard to believe Joe Biden is being played by an actor made to "look" like Joe Biden? Think about how often they never let him leave his basement, now why would they want to keep him out of public view so much? First, because he's a walking gaffe machine. But second, you probably wouldn't want to have to put on the fake Biden face too often, would you? I bet not. So keep him out of public view as much as possible before you have to run out the actor? I don't folks, I'm not 100% convinced either way, but here's what I do know after watching this ESPN bit: they have the technology and it's not even that hard. Go ahead and watch this, it's pretty incredible. Watch till the end when he rips the fake face off in front of the whole team and they are stunned. Enjoy: Here's some more footage: And since we're on the topic, here is Julie Green saying "Biden will soon be unmasked". Hmmmm..... Watch here on Rumble: Now let's take a minute to explore all the different "Bidens" and how they all look so wildly different. FAKE ACTOR? Can You Spot The Real Joe Biden? Is this the same man in all 4 photos? Let's dig in to a very serious question, shall we? What is going on with Joe Biden? That's a very open-ended question that could take hours to unpack, but let's just talk about his looks and mannerisms. Is this the same guy from a few years ago? I wonder. And so do many of you because I get your emails and videos. On that note, a big "thank you" very much to my friend Mark who sent me this video. It's a comparison of Joe Biden in 2006 vs. now. The differences are stunning! Of course you have the shocking mental decline but you also have a man who sounds a lot more like a Republican back in 2006. Watch this and then keep reading for a deep dive into just how many different "Bidens" there seem to be! Is this the same man? Even Sean Hannity is talking about it! But first, watch this from Rumble: Now let's dig in deeper... I'm not making any conclusions here, I'm simply reporting. I report, you decide. Anyone else think Joe Biden looks a little...."different"....than he used to? Of course we all look different as we continue to age. Reminds me of one of my favorite Mitch Hedberg jokes: But let's get serious for a moment. Because seriously, Joe Biden does NOT look much like the guy from 10-15 years ago. My friend Daniel just posted this video and I had to share it with you: https://twitter.com/dnajlion7/status/1377340773763411968 If you're having trouble seeing that, you can watch it here on Rumble: Wanna take it one more level deeper? Many people are saying the last photo in that video sure does look like Jim Carey pretending to be Joe Biden. What do you think: But it's not just "conspiracy theorists" on the Internet asking questions. Sean Hannity is even starting to question it. Watch this recent segment where he asks "What happened to Joe?" Are there two Joes? Watch Sean here on Rumble: What do you think? Leave a comment below. Want to dive in even deeper? Let's look at an even older clip of Joe Biden and you tell me if this is the same guy currently pretending to be President..... Watch: "How are you gonna keep it from us being able to be in a position where you can manipulate the machines, manipulate the records?... I think we should pass a federal law mandating that the same machines with paper trails be mandatory for every federal election" -Joe Biden, 2007 pic.twitter.com/0fWOVRHXFX — Fleccas (@fleccas) December 15, 2020 And since Twitter will no doubt be taking that post down very soon, don't worry I saved a backup! From Rumble: Beyond the incredible admission, people are rightly pointing out that the Biden of today does not look or sound much like the Biden of 13 years ago. Take a look for yourself: https://twitter.com/Hobocrow1/status/1338960601066872832 And here: Not the same guy!! pic.twitter.com/cy1fQC7nyR — Koen (@Koen_84) December 15, 2020 What do you think? They sure do look different to me! And while we're on the topic of Biden's admissions (perhaps from a guilty soul?) let's revisit this: BIDEN ADMITS TO VOTER FRAUD! @JoeBiden brags about having the “most extensive VOTER FRAUD organization” in history WATCH pic.twitter.com/ft7u07kUX0 — Kayleigh McEnany (@kayleighmcenany) October 24, 2020 Even a liar tells the truth sometimes! Mostly when his cognitive ability has declined so much he can no longer keep all the lies straight. What do YOU think? Zoom in: From Fake Biden we move to Fake Whitehouse? Biden Caught AGAIN Posting From Fake Oval Office Set! Is He Not In The White House? It happened again folks. Joe Biden posting videos and messages from an obviously FAKE White House set. We've covered this before here: https://wltreport.com/2021/12/24/biden-caught-again-using-a-fake-white-house-set/ And here: https://wltreport.com/2021/10/07/biden-mocked-for-using-fake-white-house-set-with-fake-windows-rose-garden/ But it just happened again and it's getting REALLY weird. This all begs the simple question: if you have access to the REAL White House, why do you need to create a Fake set somewhere else? But let's back up a minute and address the so-called "Fact Checkers". Or as I like to call them, the Ministry of Propaganda. Because they don't truly "fact check" jack shit. Their sole job is to try and sway a story and confuse the public from what is obvious truth. Exhibit A? We'll let's go right to a "Fact Check" on the whole Fake White House story from back in October when this first broke. Back in October, WeLoveTrump was one of the first in the Media to jump on the story of the Fake White House set. Before it was common news, we posted here at WeLoveTrump that the window behind Joe Biden looked very odd...almost cartoonish in coloration. Very shortly after that post it was being widely reported that it was indeed a Fake Set of the White House. In fact, here is one of the photos which was a total BOMBSHELL when it was first released.  It very clearly shows the Fake Set: Nothing is real with these people, it’s all smoke and mirrors. But we’re supposed to entrust them with all of our personal health decisions? pic.twitter.com/9N5FPYm7pI — Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) September 29, 2021 And this: If you go to Facebook to this very day, this is what you see when you load that photo. "MISSING CONTEXT". Hilarious folks.... It's a picture and we can all determine the context with our own two eyes! But the Ministry of Propaganda has to TELL YOU what you can think... They have to TELL YOU what your eyes are seeing... So sad. Here's another one: Oh what do you know...more "Missing Context". Friends, let me key you in on a little truth... I'll translate this for you from Facebook-speak to Plain-English Truth. Ready? Missing Context = this is actually 100% true and even we can't BS enough to label it false so we're going to find some minor detail or idea we make up and claim that due to something that has 0.01% impact on the story it is "Missing Context". Hope that helps. But it's not just FakeBook and their propaganda... Let's now go to Reuters who published this "fact check" back in October: Any rational human-being reading that report would conclude it must be fake news! See (says Normie Poindexter)....See!  I told you it was fake news that Biden was on a fake White House set! Except....keep reading. Let's just skip down to the END of the article where they admit (1) he WAS in fact on a film set, and (2) it wasn't in the White House at all, it was in the Eisenhower Building! Look: Compare that first section with the last section... Even within their own article they are caught lying! And yet these bastards hold themselves out as Fact-Checkers. GIVE ME A BREAK! I've had massive dumps in a toilet that hold more truth that your garbage fact checks. But I digress... Let's get back to the story and advance the ball because the Fake Set was just used again! Here is the new photo released by the White House which they claim is a photo of his call with Ukrainian President Zelensky: I spoke with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy to discuss our coordinated diplomatic efforts and reaffirm our support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. We will respond decisively — along with our Allies and partners — if Russia further invades Ukraine. pic.twitter.com/hRaUIxyxCd — President Biden (@POTUS) January 28, 2022 Yes, note that is the official Twitter account. Notice anything weird? It's those weird cartoonish colorized windows again! And what do we see outside them? TREES WITH LEAVES! Of course, I don't need to tell you that it's winter in D.C. and no trees have green leaves on them right now. But just in case, here are two photos from live feeds of the White House taken today and yesterday: Right, no leaves. Winter time. Why in the world would you need to build a FAKE OVAL OFFICE set? The obvious answer is because you don't have access to the genuine article. Make of that what you will. Follow up question: why do they KEEP doing it? My theory is when they did it the first time, they never thought they would get caught. We were one of the first to notice and start asking questions, so we take pride in being on the front end of this story. After they were caught, I think they had two choices:  (1) lie about it and claim it didn't happen, or (2) embrace it and keep doing it and pretend like it was intentional. They clearly went with Choice #2. Even Newsweek was brought in to carry water for the second option. Check out this load of propaganda they published trying to explain why they just HAD to create a Fake Oval Office: Why was a fake Oval Office built? The event space is being used for White House events that are being broadcast. The area is bigger than the actual Oval Office, and provides an area for journalists. Martha Kumar, director of the White House Transition Project explained that this room in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building is being used more regularly due to it being more accessible. Previously, the room known as Room 450 was used for such media events. "You have to slug your way up flights of stairs because the small elevators would hold only a limited number of people," Kimar explained to the Washington Examiner. "That means you often had to walk. White House staff, as well as presidents, would have to make their way there, too, though they had the luxury of an elevator. With its easy access, the South Court site was welcomed by all." While former White House events director Josh King explained that the use of the new area is down to "PoliOptics." "Every week in Washington has an element of theater and stagecraft, one side or another working to take full advantage of visual storytelling," King told the newspaper. "Presidents can fly on Air Force One across the country—or even around the world—for a photo worthy to print on the top of the fold of U.S. newspapers." King said that the South Court Auditorium is usually a "generic, stadium-style meeting room with four or five rows of seats; space in the back of the room for cameras sitting on tripods; a small buffer area in front of the stage for still photographers to capture the key moment; and handy backstage doors for easy ingress and egress by the principals." LOL, ok thanks Newsweek. Got it...they just had to create a Fake Set because the other one had too many stairs! How long did it take to come up with that line of BS and how many people sat around a table spitballing ideas until you decided that was the best one to run with? Maybe I'm being too tough. Maybe it's true! I'll turn it over to you....what do YOU think? WATCH: A Glimpse Into Biden's Fake White House Set Why does he even have this thing? Many theories abound, but there can only really be a handful of logical reasons why someone would need a fake staged set to mimic the real thing... Stephen Miller claims that it is a set built around the use of a teleprompter. I too think that it has something to do with Biden's reported cognitive decline, but I am not sure if the teleprompter is the exact reason. Let's take a look, and let us know what you think the deal is behind this creepy staged set: I’m never speechless but this is insane! Can you imagine if Trump had a little stage set built for him to mimic the White House?President Trump worked in the real White House took hard questions & didn’t use sticky notes! Shame on the media for keeping it silent. @Thatdoll86 pic.twitter.com/NyHL3vOSIk — Sara (@skb_sara) April 1, 2022 The reason Biden uses this bizarre virtual set for televised meetings—and not an actual room like East Room, Cabinet, Oval, Roosevelt, Sit Room, etc.—is because it allows him to read a script directly from a face-on monitor (& w/out teleprompter glass that can be seen on camera). https://t.co/Uc4Ly9kL7T — Stephen Miller (@StephenM) October 6, 2021 The New York Post comments: Twitter erupted after Biden was spotted sitting in front of the digital projection window on Wednesday as he held a meeting with business leaders and CEOs on the need to raise the debt ceiling. Some ridiculed Biden for using a “literal game show set” as president, while others accused him of deliberately trying to deceive Americans into thinking he was in the White House.   Biden, 79, uses 'cheat sheets' to answer press questions on his 'unscripted' call for Putin to be ousted in Russia No one has yet provided a good explanation as to why the Biden administration has a stage set of the White House in a studio across the street from the real WH — Gordon (@StopTheCoup2020) March 29, 2022 https://twitter.com/DBark46107258/status/1509627433296674832 Fox News states: The video set, which was constructed across from the White House in the South Court Auditorium in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, is used by Biden for video conferences and events broadcast online.

Billionaire Bill Gates said during an interview over the weekend that he believes that support for nuclear power is high in both of America’s major political parties. Gates made the remarks during a Sunday CBS News interview with Margaret Brennan on “Face the Nation” when asked about a a new nuclear power plant that is now being built in Wyoming. He said that he wants the U.S. to build dozens of new nuclear power plants and that it should try to get more than 100 built. Addressing the possibility of nuclear power plant melting down, Gates said: “A problem when you shut a rector down it still has heat. That’s why Chernobyl was a problem and Fukushima. Our design, that goes away because since we use this sodium to cool everything, it can absorb all that heat. And so those accidents were both first in generation, second generation reactors. The third generation reactors dealt with that with a lot of complexity. So, those reactors are quite safe, but the cost overruns meant that the electricity will be very, very expensive. We solved the safety problem with a much simpler approach, but we have to start from scratch.” He said that he was “quite confident” that there will be support for continuing to expand America’s arsenal of nuclear power plants regardless of who wins the election this fall. “I meet with lots of Republicans. I meet with lots of Democrats,” he said. “I’d say that the support for nuclear power is very impressive in both parties. The reasons they support nuclear power may not be identical. The Republicans may emphasize the security issues, you know, energy security, exporting these power things to the entire world. The Democrats value those things but they also value that it’s a clean source of energy.” “You really don’t want the nuclear reactors around the world made by your adversaries because it’s economically a huge job creator and because the materials involved in these reactors possibly could be diverted,” he later added. “You want your eye on, you know, making sure that it’s not feeding into some military-related activity. And so the U.S. leadership in this space has a lot of strategic benefits.” WATCH:

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld blasted a pro-Palestinian heckler at an event in Australia over the weekend for interrupting the show for political reasons. Seinfeld was performing at the Qudos Bank Arena on Sunday night, according to a video taken by Australian Jewish Association CEO Robert Gregory. “We have a genius ladies and gentlemen. He’s solved the Middle East. He’s solved it!” Seinfeld mocked. “It’s the Jewish comedians, that’s who we have to get.” The crowd cheered as Seinfeld mocked the heckler, who chanted the genocidal anti-Semitic slogan “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” as they were escorted out of the venue. “Go ahead, keep going,” he taunted the heckler. “They’re going to start punching you in about three seconds, so I would try and get all of your genius out so we can all learn from you.” “It’s a comedy show, you moron!” Seinfeld added. “Get out of here.” “You’re really influencing everyone here, we’re all on your side now, because you have made your point so well, and in the right venue, you’ve come to the right place for a political conversation,” Seinfeld added as the crowd erupted in laughter. “Tomorrow we’ll read in the paper ‘Middle East 100% solved thanks to man at the Qudos Arena stopping Jew comedian, they stopped him and everyone in the Middle East went oh my God let’s just get along.'” “You have to go 20,000 miles from the problem and screw up a comedian, that is how you solve world issues,” he joked.
