President Biden claims that “trickle-down economics promised prosperity but failed America, especially Black Americans.”
IN FACT, the real median cash income of black households rose by 12% ($3,306) during the so-called trickle-down economics of President Ronald Reagan. TDE is a deceptive slur against low taxes & free markets, which helped the U.S. achieve the highest standard of living in the world.

MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan claims it is a “dangerous” myth that closing schools for Covid-19 was “a mistake.” As proof of that, he says that C-19 was “the #8 cause of death for kids overall.”
In FACT, children were 36 times more likely to die of accidents than C-19 during the pandemic, and child Covid deaths were on par with the flu. Locking down children and healthy people caused widespread suffering and death with no proven benefits.

President Biden claims “it’s time for Congress to pass commonsense gun safety laws” because “our kids and educators” have “the right to live freely without fearing for their lives in a classroom.”
IN FACT, Democrats and the media typically call for more gun control laws in the wake of school shootings, while they ignore or spurn evidence-based ways to protect students and educators.

Cal Berkeley professor Robert Reich blames “trickle-down economics” for rising wealth inequality since 1989.
IN FACT, government spending on social programs and printing money to pay for them have risen significantly since 1989. Such policies — which Reich supports — create the wealth inequality that he decries:

U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (Socialist–VT) claims that “88 years ago, before Social Security became law, about 50% of seniors lived in poverty. Today, as a result of that program, that number is much lower.”
IN FACT, SS became law in the midst of the Great Depression when average living standards were 1/5th of what they are now. Since then, Social Security has raised taxes on every generation of workers, sapping their ability to save and invest with far better returns than Social Security.

Cal Berkeley professor Robert Reich claims that the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hours is “an insult to American workers, and bad for our economy.”
IN FACT, only 1% of workers make the federal minimum wage, and doubling it would increase the average income of families below the poverty line by only 1%. This would also destroy about 1.4 million jobs, decrease GDP, increase inflation, and raise taxes.

President Biden’s Press Secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, claims that Joe Biden “was never in business with his son.”
IN FACT, a 2017 What’s App message proves Joe Biden participated in Hunter’s illicit business deals. In it, one of Hunter’s partners wrote about Joe Biden, “Don’t mention Joe being involved, it’s only when u are face to face, I know u know that but they are paranoid.”

Former U.S. Senator and NBC news analyst Claire McCaskill claims that Republicans are “going to try to indict” Joe Biden “without evidence” that he did “anything other than loving” his son.
IN FACT, the evidence is overwhelming that Joe Biden used U.S. taxpayer money to bribe foreign officials and obstruct justice. Facts don’t cease to exist just because McCaskill refuses to acknowledge them or NBC refuses to report them.

U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley (R–IA) has just released a document the FBI tried to conceal from the American people. In it, a first-hand witness testifies that a Ukrainian gas company owner said he paid Joe and Hunter Biden millions of dollars to “protect us” from “all kinds of problems,” including Ukraine’s chief prosecutor.
This independently confirms smoking gun emails uncovered by Just Facts a year ago which show that Joe and Hunter Biden did exactly what this just-released FBI document states.

CNN is reporting, “The Republican Party should acknowledge issues of racial inequality in the US instead of continuing rhetoric that opportunities in the country are equal and fair, former President Barack Obama says.”
IN FACT, the social ills that plague a greater portion of black people than white people — like poverty, violence, poor education, and bad health — are strongly associated with leftism, not racism.

VP Kamala Harris claims, “One does not have to give up their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree: The government should not be telling” any woman “what to do with her body.”
IN FACT, Biden and Harris enacted vaccine mandates that used the power of government to tell women what to do with their bodies. In contrast, pre-birth humans are not their mother’s “bodies” but have their own hearts, brains, eyes & arms.

Dr. Ximena Lopez, a “top trans care doctor” who left Texas so “I can be in a safe place where I can keep my sanity,” claims she doesn’t know if NCAA swimmer Lia Thomas had an advantage competing as a biological male in the women’s division.
IN FACT, a study in the Journal of Sports Medicine found that “strength, lean body mass, muscle size and bone density are only trivially affected” by the testosterone suppression regimes that biological males use to compete in female sports, giving them a “major performance” advantage. Other studies have found likewise.

Barack Obama claims that “affirmative action” was part of a “drive towards a more just society” and “gave us the chance to show we more than deserved a seat at the table.”
IN FACT, when John. F. Kennedy coined the term “affirmative action” in 1961, he repeatedly used the phrase “without regard to” race. And in 1963, Kennedy declaredthat “race has no place in American life or law.” Democrats have since turned this principle on its head.

HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra was recently asked, “Did forcing 2-year-olds to wear masks save lives?” He replied, “Making sure people were masked when it was appropriate was essential to make sure that we were able to get out of this pandemic.”
IN FACT, NO randomized controlled trial has found that masks save lives. Covid deaths enduringly plunged only after almost everyone caught Covid and naturally acquired immunity flourished — not when masks or vaccines were deployed.

Reporting on a new study, CNN claims that scientists were “surprised” to find that the “Arctic could see ice-free summers as early as the 2030s, a decade earlier than previously thought.”
IN FACT, the media and academia are littered with failed doomsday predictions about when the Arctic was supposed to be ice-free:
IN FACT, the media and academia are littered with failed doomsday predictions about when the Arctic was supposed to be ice-free:
- In 2007, the Associated Press reported the following words from NASA climate scientist Jay Zwally: “At this rate, the Arctic Ocean could be nearly ice-free at the end of summer by 2012, much faster than previous predictions.”
- In 2008, the Associated Press reported that “top NASA scientist” James Hansen, “echoing work by other scientists, said that in five to 10 years, the Arctic will be free of sea ice in the summer.” That’s 2013 to 2018.
- In 2008, the Winnipeg Free Press reported: “The ice that has covered the Arctic basin for a million years will be gone in little more than six years because of global warming, a University of Manitoba geoscientist says.” That’s 2014.
- In 2009, Reuters reported: “The Arctic is warming up so quickly that the region’s sea ice cover in summer could vanish as early as 2013, decades earlier than some had predicted, a leading polar expert said on Thursday.”
- In 2013, the Guardian reported: “An ongoing US Department of Energy-backed research project led by a US Navy scientist predicts that the Arctic could lose its summer sea ice cover as early as 2016 — 84 years ahead of conventional model projections.”
US. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D–MA) claims that a recent Supreme Court ruling against the Teamsters union undermines the “right to strike.”
IN FACT, this case is not about a mere strike but about union members deliberately destroying their employer’s property. Thus, the Supreme Court ruled 8–1 that the lawsuit could move forward, with the lone dissenter being a justice who couldn’t define the word “woman.”

U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow (D–MI) claims she’s been “meeting with famers around the world,” and therefore, “We know across the globe that climate crisis has slowed the growth of agricultural productivity.”
IN FACT, global agricultural productivity and global natural vegetation productivity have been increasing for decades. For example, the journal Nature Climate Change found “a persistent and widespread increase” in global “greening” from 1982–2014.

The Associated Press claims: “The prospect that someone under indictment — twice — could still be considered a viable presidential candidate underscores Donald Trump’s grip on the Republican Party and the ways that he’s transformed U.S. democratic norms.”
IN FACT, people are skeptical about the indictments because Democrats, the media, and government officials have falsely accused Trump of vile misdeeds at least 7 times. This includes:

President Biden claims he is reversing the trend of manufacturing jobs moving “overseas for cheaper labor” and that his “agenda is bringing the manufacturing boom back home.”
In fact, per-capita manufacturing jobs have barely recovered from Covid lockdowns and show no signs of systemic growth, much less a “boom.” Furthermore, the Purchasing Managers’ Index survey shows “economic activity in the manufacturing sector contracted in March for the fifth consecutive month.”

US. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D–MA) claims that massive growth in student loan debt is caused by “slashing funding for higher education and forcing people to make up the difference with student loans.”
In fact, inflation-adjusted government spending per college student has tripled since 1959. Skyrocketing student loan debt is due to colleges raising tuition as governments dole out student loans. And with this, the caliber of college education has fallen.

Cal Berkeley professor Robert Reich claims that “trickle-down economics” is the reason why “the richest 1% of families increased their share of total national wealth from 27% to 34%” during 1989 to 2019.
In fact, the only modern president under which wealth inequality decreased is Donald Trump. Though correlation ≠ causation, wealth inequality typically grows when leftist economic policies (favored by Reich) are implemented.

While blaming others for “gamesmanship,” President Biden claims that many people would be hurt “if we defaulted on our debt.”
In fact, a debt default can only occur if Biden violates the law which requires the Treasury to pay the debt. The government has ample tax revenues to service the debt and trillions of $ more for other expenses, even if the debt limit isn’t raised.

The World Health Organization has officially declared “an end to the public health emergency” of Covid-19.
So in fact, mutations haven’t made Covid a perpetual scourge, as the “experts” predicted. Instead, deaths dropped dramatically when people stopped distancing and allowed naturally acquired immunity to flourish. Just Facts documented this would occur in March 2020.

In Joe Biden’s first campaign ad for the 2024 presidential race, he calls the United States “our democracy.”
In fact, democracy is mob rule, which is why the U.S. founders rejected it in favor of a democratic constitutional republic to protect the rights of individuals from the tyranny of a majority. In stark contrast, the Communist Manifesto calls for winning “the battle of democracy” so that government controls all “communication,” “property,” “transport,” “factories,” “credit,” and “agriculture.”

At the top of its website, the New York Times reported “good news” that “wages and salaries in the U.S. rose 5.1% from a year earlier.”
In fact, that claim fails to account for inflation. Real wages and salaries—or how much your paycheck will buy—are stagnant from a year ago and far below their pre-Covid trajectory. Per the Journal of Accountancy, failing to adjust for inflation “does not deliver a message that is completely true and fair.”

Biden “Climate Envoy” John Kerry claims there’s “no question” climate is going to be “one of the top 3 issues in the 2024 presidential election” because people are going to see “the crops ripped away or their homes destroyed” by climate change.
In fact, a high-ranking UN official wrote 34 years ago that global warming will “disrupt agriculture” and “adversely” affect “food supplies.” Since then, the world’s populationhas risen by 52% and food consumption per person has risen by 13%.

Without reporting opposing views or any evidence, the Associated Press claims that transgender “advocates say expanded gender-affirming care is vital to the safety and mental health of transgender people.”
In fact, a 2023 paper about transgender drugs and surgeries in the scientific journal Current Sexual Health Reports documents that:
This is corroborated by nine studies on the physical impacts of puberty blockers and a British Medical Journal analysis of transgender drugs and surgeries.
In fact, a 2023 paper about transgender drugs and surgeries in the scientific journal Current Sexual Health Reports documents that:
- “Results of long-term studies of adult transgender populations failed to demonstrate convincing improvements in mental health, and some studies suggest that there are treatment-associated harms.”
- “Systematic reviews” have found that “the risk/benefit ratio of youth gender transition ranges from unknown to unfavorable.”
- “Three recent papers examined the studies that underpin the practice of youth gender transition and found the research to be deeply flawed.”

MSNBC Contributor April Ryan reported that President Biden has invited “Ralph Yarl, Black teen shot by white homeowner, to the White House.”
In fact, murders of white people by black people are 2-to-3 times more common than vice-versa. Yet, the media commonly highlights race only when a victim is black and the alleged perp is white. Exploiting anecdotes is a common tactic of racists and demagogues.

After losing his Twitter verification, Cal Berkeley professor Robert Reich claims the “real problem is the oligarchs who have too much power over the internet” and that “we have more in common with each other than we do with them — blue check or not.”
In fact, big tech oligarchs have bestowed Reich and other leftist elites with greater reach than others while silencing opposing voices. Now that Reich lost his blue check mark because he won’t pay $8.00/month for it, he claims to be a commoner.

Congressman Adam Schiff (D–CA) claims, “I welcome people fleeing violence and poverty” because “providing refuge to those seeking asylum is who we are.”
In fact, courts find that about 90% of asylum claims are meritless. However, people who enter the U.S. by claiming asylum often never leave because deportation laws are rarely enforced. This was the explicit policy of Obama and is also true under Biden.

President Biden claims that “signs” of a “climate crisis” are “unmistakable, “the science is undeniable,” and “the cost of inaction keeps mounting.”
In fact, a broad array of climate-related measures have stayed level or improved for the past 3–17 decades, such as foliage productivity, forest cover, extinctions, agricultural production, coastal flooding, hurricanes, droughts, tornadoes & weather fatalities. Moreover, actions to “tackle” this non-existent “crisis” impoverish people, increase emissions of toxic pollutants, and empower tyrannical regimes.

President Biden claims, “Federal investment attracts private investment. It creates jobs and industries, and it demonstrates we’re all in this together.”
In fact, the money for “federal investment” is taken from the private sector, and per the federal government’s Energy Information Administration, “Several studies suggest that the return on overall Federal R&D investment is much lower than the return on private-sector R&D, implying relatively high failure rates.”

Cal Berkeley professor Robert Reich claims the “free market” has failed to “lift the poor out of poverty, expand the middle class, and realize the American dream.”
In fact, even the poorest 20% of Americans consume more goods & services than the national averages for all people in most nations of Europe. “Poor” is a relative term, and in America, “Poor” = “Richer than the vast majority of people in the world.”

The NY Times implies there is no merit to Republican arguments that Trump prosecutor Alvin Bragg has “allowed a crime crisis to flourish in New York.” The Times says this is because “after a pandemic spike, crime is down slightly in the city.”
In fact, New York City murders have risen by 37% since 2019, and there is no correlationbetween this bloodshed and the pandemic. However, there is a very strong correlationbetween rising murders and the BLM policies that Bragg embraces.

Congressman Jamaal Bowman (D–NY) recently yelled at a Republican colleague, “More guns = more death.”
In fact, data from all 50 states show no clear association between gun ownership and murder rates. In contrast, the recent 34% rise in murders is strongly associated with the rise of the BLM movement.
Hakeem Jeffries, leader of the House Democrats, claims it’s “shameful” that “extreme MAGA Republicans just passed legislation to ban books and bully children.”
In fact, the bill he refers to, called the Parents Bill of Rights, doesn’t do anything that Jeffries rails against. Instead, this short, clear-cut bill simply requires government schools to be transparent with parents and not usurp their right to raise their children.
On the 13th anniversary of Obamacare, President Biden is calling it the “most consequential expansion of health care in generations” and claiming it gave “millions” of Americans “peace of mind.”
In fact, U.S. life expectancy stagnated in the wake of Obamacare—the worst 6-year period in more than 50 years. Correlation ≠ causation, so Obamacare may not be the root cause, but it either hurt, failed to help, or was overwhelmed by other factors.
CA governor Gavin Newsom brags that “California now has the strongest oversight and accountability measures on Big Oil of any state in the nation.”
In fact, California’s energy regulations have helped make Cali the state with the highest gas prices in the nation, the highest electricity prices in the continental U.S., and the highest real poverty rate in the nation.
Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (D–MI) claims there is a “climate crisis” and that “we must pass the Green New Deal to ensure a livable planet for future generations.”
In fact, the following climate-related measures have stayed level or improved for the past 3–17 decades: coastal flooding, droughts, weather fatalities, hurricanes, tornadoes, agricultural production, extinctions, foliage productivity, and forest cover. Moreover, the Green New Deal will drive down wages, drive up inflation, and harm people in a wide variety of other ways.
President Biden claims, “My budget keeps our borders secure.”
In fact, objective measures of border security—including gotaways, apprehensions, and border crossing deaths—are worse under Biden than ever recorded in the history of the nation.

In fact, Democrats have falsely accused Trump of at least 7 offenses that Democrats actually committed. This includes but is not limited to allegations that Trump:
President Biden claims it is “shocking” and “undemocratic” that Tennessee Republicans expelled Democrats from the state legislature for engaging in a “peaceful” protest.
In fact, the Dems weren’t expelled for a “peaceful” protest but for disrupting an official proceeding and disorderly conduct in the TN Capitol. Biden’s DOJ has criminally charged hundreds of protestors for doing the same at the U.S. Capitol.

President Biden’s Press Secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, claims it is “shameful” that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis “signed into law a permitless concealed carry bill” that “eliminates the need to get a license to carry a concealed weapon.”
In fact, requiring a “license” to “bear arms” effectively turns this Constitutional right into a state-granted privilege. Moreover, 25 U.S. states have adopted permitless Constitutional carry without the carnage predicted by the left.

US. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D–MA) claims that the “key factors behind today’s rising costs” are “price gouging, supply chain kinks, and Russia’s war on Ukraine.”
In fact, the main drivers of today’s inflation are trillions of dollars in federal deficit spending and money printing, which were enacted and supported by Warren & Co.
In fact, Democrats have falsely accused Trump of at least 7 offenses that Democrats actually committed. This includes but is not limited to allegations that Trump:
- colluded with Russia, while Barack Obama was caught doing just that on a hot mic.
- used taxpayer money for a quid-pro quo in Ukraine, while Joe Biden did precisely that.
- bribed foreigners to “dig up dirt” on Biden, while Dems paid a foreign spy to create a fake dossier on Trump and used it to get a court order to spy on his campaign.
- “tear-gassed peaceful protestors” in DC’s Lafayette Square, when the protesters were violent, and it was Mayor Muriel Bowser’s DC Police Department that deployed the tear gas.
- called neo-Nazis “very fine people,” while Dems defended “antifa” as it employed explicitly fascist tactics to advance explicitly fascist goals.
- told governors to “dominate” peaceful protestors, while Biden’s DOJ prosecuted hundreds of protestors for trespassing at the U.S. Capitol for as little as “two minutes.”
- incited an insurrection, while Dems praised “Black Lives Matter” amid arsons, assaults, and murders.
President Biden claims it is “shocking” and “undemocratic” that Tennessee Republicans expelled Democrats from the state legislature for engaging in a “peaceful” protest.
In fact, the Dems weren’t expelled for a “peaceful” protest but for disrupting an official proceeding and disorderly conduct in the TN Capitol. Biden’s DOJ has criminally charged hundreds of protestors for doing the same at the U.S. Capitol.

CA governor Gavin Newsom (D) claims “there is an all out assault on public education” in “red states across the country” where books are “banned,” teachers are “silenced,” and students are “intimidated”
In fact, keeping sexually explicit materials out of schools isn’t “banning books,” Cali public schools are showing graphic smut to students, and Cali schoolchildren are intimidated to accept a host of leftist dogmas about sex, race, crime & economics.

President Biden claims, “the economy has added over 750,000 new manufacturing jobs” under him, and “thanks to” laws like “the Inflation Reduction Act, we’re going to keep making more in America.”
In fact, manufacturing jobs have barely recovered from the Covid lockdowns and are well below their pre-Covid trajectory. Moreover, the “Inflation Reduction Act” neglects workers and harms the manufacturing sector while enriching “green energy” investors.

US. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D–MA) claims that “Democrats enacted a law to help speed up [tax] refunds—but House Republicans just voted to undo it.”
In fact, many of these tax “refunds” are welfare payments distributed by the IRS. That’s why the poorest 20% of households had a negative federal tax burden in 2021. Such “refunds” are also rife with fraud and have double-digit improper payment rates:

Cal Berkeley professor Robert Reich claims that there is “climate havoc all over America, and the world.”
In fact, the following climate-related measures have stayed level or improved for the past 3–17 decades: coastal flooding, droughts, weather fatalities, hurricanes, tornadoes, agricultural production, extinctions, forest cover, and foliage productivity.

Hakeem Jeffries, leader of the House Democrats, claims that “weapons of war used to hunt human beings have no place in a civilized society.”
In fact, the guns that progressives call “weapons of war” are absolutely not. Instead, such guns share a few characteristics with military firearms but lack their defining feature: the ability to fire multiple bullets with a single pull of a trigger.

-President Biden claims that Democrats “took on Big Pharma and won” by allowing “Medicare to finally start negotiating drug prices.”
In fact, their actions shift more of the costs of Rx onto American workers. Government also does this by paying hospitals 13% below their costs of caring for Medicare patients. Hospitals recover the losses by overcharging private-sector patients.

-In a New York Times commentary, Columbia journalism professor Zeynep Tufekci claims “the science is clear that masks work.”
In fact, the notion that “masks work” is rooted in low-quality studies and a naive assumption that C-19 is mainly spread by droplets instead of aerosols. Tufekci’s analysis is paper-thin, and actual science reveals no benefits from masks and considerable harms.

-FDA Commissioner Robert Califf claims that he is committed to “the integrity and application of science” while saying, “I call on all scientists out there to spread the word: Trust Science.”
In fact, legendary physicist Richard Feynman stated, “Experiment is the sole judge of scientific ‘truth’,” and Einstein warned, “Science can flourish only in an atmosphere of free speech.” The FDA has repeatedly violated those principles in recent years.

-Hakeem Jeffries, leader of the House Democrats, claims it’s “un-American” that women “are paid approximately 73¢ for every dollar that a man makes for doing the same exact job.”
In fact, women and men in the U.S. receive equal pay for equal work. Jeffries’ statistic ignores work hours, technical complexity, physical strength & fringe benefits.

-U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders claims the federal government should forgive student loans because “pursuing an education in this country should not mean that you are penalized with decades of crushing debt.”
In fact, the costs of college have risen and the caliber of their education has fallen as they have moved further to the left and as taxpayers have poured more money into this system. Yet, Sanders’ solution is to make taxpayers pay even more.

-President Biden claims that his bailouts of businesses who deposit money with failed banks like SVB “won’t cost taxpayers a dime” because it will all be “paid for with the fees that banks pay into the Deposit Insurance Fund.”
In fact, the “fees that banks pay into the Deposit Insurance Fund” are borne in part or whole by consumers, just like other corporate fees and taxes. This is another case of government shifting the costs of its policies to the private sector.
