The old warning to beware of lies, damned lies and statistics deserves an
update. Nowadays, we must also beware of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and
Bill de Blasio.

The unholy trinity comprises the leaders of the Democratic Liars Club.
Whether born or convicted, the president of the United States, his would-
be successor and the mayor of New York are, to borrow a phrase, “people of
the lie.”

This is not to accuse them of being merely imperfect humans. It is to say
they are chronically dishonest and concoct such significant lies that they
deserve zero public trust.

The latest clincher is the admission of a top White House aide that much
about the Iranian nuclear deal was a fabrication sold to a lazy, gullible
press corps. Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes boasts that most
reporters were too dumb to know or care they were being misled.

“The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old, and their only reporting
experience consists of being around political campaigns,” Rhodes told The
New York Times. “They literally know nothing.”

He said that much of what passed for independent analysis of Iran in the
media was a regurgitation of White House talking points. “We created an
echo chamber,” he gloated. “They were saying things that validated what we
had given them to say.”

Rhodes thus joins the infamous Jonathan Gruber, the administration insider
caught conceding that ObamaCare was designed to exploit the “stupidity of
the American voter.” If people understood the plain meaning, Gruber said,
the law would not have survived.

The twin admissions mean Obama’s self-described legacy accomplishments —
the Iran deal and the Affordable Care Act — are fraudulent to the core.
Even worse, Obama himself led the charge for both scams, insisting that
anyone who opposed the Iran deal wanted war, and that under ObamaCare,
“you can keep your doctor.”

The implications are enormous and resolve any doubts that Obama is a con
man in a league of his own. Instead of getting the Nobel Peace Prize, he
is worthy of the Joseph Goebbels Award for proving Goebbels’ claim that
“if you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will
eventually come to believe it.”

Unfortunately, both the Iran deal and ObamaCare will outlast Obama’s term
and do lasting damage to America, and in the case of Iran, the whole
world. They make Watergate look like amateur hour.

The admissions bring new clarity to the stakes of Clinton’s bid for a
third Obama term. Already distrusted by the vast majority of Americans for
career-long duplicity, her election would signal that the nation no longer
values integrity and is willing to be lied to again and again.

While Obama’s charisma and appeals to a historic presidency blinded many
Americans, there can be no excuses for electing Clinton. Her track record
of dishonesty is matched by fresh evidence that she is beyond hope of
change.

It is a reflection of Washington’s hollowed-out morals, and Obama’s
personal corruption, that Clinton has not been charged in the email
scandal. Her failure to protect national-security secrets make her unfit
for any office, yet millions of Americans are ready to entrust her with
their well-being and safety.

As for Mayor de Blasio’s misconduct, it has not risen to such corrosive
destructiveness, but that’s only because his office limits his
opportunities. But as the hydra-headed scandals swallowing his mayoralty
suggest, he has rarely missed an opportunity to deceive the public by
saying one thing and doing another.

The latest report has the feds investigating his 2013 campaign, which
comes on top of probes focused on possible financial shenanigans in 2014,
2015 and this year. In short, much of his career is suspected of being one
long crime wave.

Like his pals in the Democratic Liars Club, de Blasio fights truth with
imaginary victimization. “How convenient that when we’re doing a lot of
work to help everyday people, there’s all sorts of efforts being made to
obscure that work,” he said of the probes.

That disinformation echoes Obama’s nasty tendency to accuse dissenters of
ignorance and corruption or, when that fails, racism. Clinton, of course,
retreats behind charges of sexism and, when that fails, claims to spot a
vast right-wing conspiracy.

In fact, there is a conspiracy. It comprises monstrous lies told not only
against the truth, but also against the very soul of America.

Echoes of ‘The Ronald’
The candidate “knew what the sophisticates and elites did not — that the
American people were thirsting for leadership and to be told that it was
OK to cherish their children’s future.”

The passage sounds like every postmortem on Donald Trump’s march through
the Republican primaries. In truth, it was written about Ronald Reagan’s
quest for the 1976 nomination.

It comes from Craig Shirley’s 2005 book, “Reagan’s Revolution,” and
pinpoints the Gipper’s losing ’76 campaign against Gerald Ford as the
foundation of the world-changing success that followed.

I am not making a case that Trump is the second coming of Reagan, yet they
share the distinction of stoking the enthusiasm of the party’s rank-and-
file despite powerful internal resistance. Reagan was regarded by top
Republicans such as Nelson Rockefeller and Barry Goldwater as a dangerous
simpleton. #NeverReagan would have been their hashtag.

Worse things are said about Trump, and defectors include the 2012 nominee,
Mitt Romney, and some GOP senators. House Speaker Paul Ryan says he’s not
ready to endorse Trump, and both former Presidents Bush may not support
him.

The resistance seems genuine and can be respected on one condition: that
the dissenters acknowledge they are playing with fire.

Because the next president likely will be either Trump or Hillary Clinton,
it is irresponsible for Republican leaders to say, as Romney and Jeb Bush
have done, that they will vote for neither. Those who stay home could be
helping elect Clinton.

It’s possible that some of those huffing and puffing the loudest actually
prefer Clinton. Under her, they would keep their seats at the elites’
table, while Trump will disrupt their comfort and turn over the table.

In his own way, that’s exactly what Reagan did, and it saved the country
and the party.

Rockets (& blame) loom for Israel
With Israel and Hamas exchanging military fire across the Gaza border, two
things seem certain. Another summer war is brewing, and Israel will be
blamed.

Never mind that Hamas fired first and is stockpiling weapons and digging
tunnels. Scapegoating Jews is a vile habit the world refuses to kick.

Crossing potty lines
Color me confused. The Justice Department accuses North Carolina of
violating the civil rights of transgender people because a new law
requires everybody to use public bathrooms that match the gender on their
birth certificates.

How is that discrimination? The same law applies to everybody. Isn’t that
the essence of equal rights?

Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
fiasco, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.

President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed
dozens of judges and three SCOTUS justices.
