Andy McCarthy enumerates Biden's lies from last night: https://www.nationalreview.com/2021/04/bidens-dishonest-sales-pitch/
- He insinuated that the ten-year ban on assault weapons had reduced the murder rate in the U.S. — something neither careful studies nor a casual look at the trends supports.
- He pretended that the Trump administration had ended successful efforts to control migration across our southern border, a brazen inversion of the truth.
- He claimed that the country supports federal legislation that would, among other things, ban states from verifying voters are who they say they are.
- He promised that Medicare could save hundreds of billions of dollars by cracking down on drugmakers. Not according to the Congressional Budget Office, it can’t.

Well, if my local paper hadn't become a liberal rag I might still have a subscription lol.
They're a liberal rag because that's a very effective way to win the attention game.

I care about honesty. I think it’s important to be able to trust government leadership. Or at least, have some confidence that what they’re saying is true.
Then you should have loved Donald J. Trump.
Very few presidents have gone out and actually tried to do what they said they would do.
Dude give it up.
I can count on one hand the number of people I've ever heard of who thinks that Donald Trump is about honesty and integrity.I'm not saying you have to change your opinion of Trump or anything, but virtually no one's going to pick up what you're trying to throw down about him. He's a liar.

Ironically that is the one point in which we are definitely in accord! -

Maybe not integrity, but certainly honesty, I'm sure everyone agrees on that.
He tried to do what he said he would do. There is no question.

WSJ reveals another lie:
https://www.wsj.com/articles/facts-check-biden-11619714351?mod=djemBestOfTheWeb
The Biden fairy tale is that the U.S. was in an economic crisis when he took office. He began telling this tall tale even before taking the job. Joining with former presidential campaign rival Sen. Bernie Sanders, Vermont’s most famous Marxist, Mr. Biden last year formed a legion of gloom to justify the historic government expansions to come.
But then as now, government data keeps exposing the Biden distortion. Today the Commerce Department reports that during the first quarter when the Biden administration began, the U.S. economy was soaring. “Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 6.4 percent in the first quarter of 2021,” according to the advance estimate released by Commerce’s Bureau of Economic Analysis. This follows growth of more than 4% in the fourth quarter of last year and a rip-roaring 33.4% in the third.

USA Today:
Biden said he inherited the “worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.” But when he took office, the economy had recovered some from its low point earlier in the pandemic.
He repeated the debunked claim that he had “traveled over 17,000 miles” with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Biden referred to the American Jobs Plan creating “millions of jobs” and generating “trillions of dollars in economic growth.” The jobs estimate is accurate, but economic growth projections are mixed.The president said he is “restoring the program” to address the causes of migration from Northern Triangle countries that “the last administration decided … was not worth it.” Although funding for the initiative declined and was delayed during the Trump administration, it wasn’t completely eliminated, as Biden’s remark may have suggested.
Biden said the “vast majority” of the “over 11 million undocumented folks” in the U.S. overstayed a visa. But immigration experts estimate that most people living in the U.S. illegally crossed the southern border without authorization.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

By WaPo standards, that means Biden lied 6,016,500 times in that speech.
