Column: Blame the Media for the National Debt
Posted By: Imright, 5/31/2023 1:40:42 PM
Democrats and Republicans reached an agreement to lift the debt ceiling, and nothing is going to change in the disturbing pattern of America’s national debt climbing by leaps and bounds. The best reason for pessimism? Our Democrat-messaging media. They can’t be bothered to offer the most basic facts in budget coverage. What is the budget for the current fiscal year? What was the last budget deficit? How large is the national debt? These are questions that are rarely answered by news anchors. What we get is a lot of horse-race jockeying and finger-pointing instead of facts. They must think the viewers are too stupid to juggle numbers.

Former President Donald Trump discussed President Joe Biden's mental and physical state Thursday evening. He expressed concern over the president's mental state amid tensions around the world.
Trump claimed that Biden "doesn’t understand what’s happening" amid the "most dangerous time in the history of our country" during a town hall in Iowa on Fox News's Hannity. "But this is the most dangerous time in the history of our country because of the power of the weaponry. And we have somebody that doesn’t understand what’s happening. And it’s a very dangerous thing; it’s a very bad thing," Trump said.
Former President Donald Trump insulted a growing field of Republican rivals during town hall appearance hosted by Sean Hannity – even appearing to mock a rival who is polling at less than 1 percent with a name suggesting he has a disability.
Trump used the format, where Hannity announced at the top that he wasn't interested in debating the candidate, to bash the GOP field, while also commenting on President Joe Biden's fall and claiming he was the victim of election interference.
Asked about facing a field that could grow to nine, Trump said, 'That's a good thing, isn't it' – reflecting a school that he could benefit as
The U.S. Senate voted to approve the “The Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023,” averting a potential default on the national debt.
The bill reportedly passed the Senate on Thursday with a vote of 63-36.
“The Senate passed the bipartisan debt deal Thursday night, sending it to President Joe Biden’s desk days before the default deadline and capping off months of melodrama,” Politico reported. (Tweet) As Breitbart News reported on Wednesday, the House overwhelmingly voted to approve the act, passing it 314 to 117 in favor. Now that both chambers have approved, it will move to President Joe Biden’s desk for his expected signature.
Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Thursday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that the Republican base is “comfortable” with President Joe Biden because he is an older white man.
Anchor Joy Reid said, “I do feel like Biden has this misunderestimated thing where people assume, ‘Oh, he’s too old. He doesn’t know what he’s doing.’ And then he keeps delivering. Today, he tripped over, I guess there was a sandbag, and Twitter and the right are going crazy. It’s the most important thing in the world. First of all, Donald Trump is 76, he’s not exactly young.

Former President Donald Trump on the campaign trail in Iowa Thursday expressed sympathy for President Joe Biden upon learning that he fell after delivering the commencement speech at the Air Force Academy.
“He actually fell down? Well I hope he wasn’t hurt. I hope he wasn’t hurt,” Trump said after being told. He then recalled his own concerns of falling after the delivering a commencement speech at the West Point in 2021.
“You gotta be careful about that. You gotta be careful about that, because you don’t want that. Even if you have to tiptoe down a ramp,” he said, referring to his own walk down a ramp at West Point:
President Biden, in 2020, took aim at then-President Donald Trump for awkwardly walking down a ramp at a commencement speech — remarks that came back to haunt him on Thursday when he took a tumble over a sandbag at a commencement ceremony at the U.S. Air Force Academy.
Trump took heat from critics, including Biden, when he walked gingerly down the ramp at a West Point commencement ceremony in September 2020. Then-candidate Biden, in the midst of a presidential campaign, took a swipe at the Republican incumbent.
"Look at how he steps and look at how I step. Watch how I run up ramps and he stumbles down ramps," Biden joked.

An immense catalog of photos from Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop were published Thursday on a new website, as the first son faces ongoing investigations into his overseas business affairs and potential tax and gun crimes.
Nearly 10,000 photos taken between 2008 and 2019 will be hosted at BidenLaptopMedia.com after a former Trump White House aide apparently spent months scanning the digital archive, redacting some images and publishing the rest.
“The number one thing we’re about … is truth and transparency,” Garrett Ziegler, who founded the nonprofit Marco Polo, told Fox News.
