According to Fox News host Laura Ingraham, President Joe Biden isn’t actually running the country.
On her show Wednesday evening, Ingraham declared that the Biden White House should be called “the MSNBC administration,” Mediaite reports:
“This is the Democrats’ entire political agenda in 2022: ‘We’ll protect from you the insurrectionists.’
“This isn’t a hard left country. They’re not going to be able to convince voters to dump the Electoral College, make D.C. a state, get rid of capitalism, or eliminate prisons. Not gonna happen. This isn’t the Biden administration, though. Is it really? It’s the MSNBC administration.”
Wow! That’s pretty rich when you consider that Fox News was constantly cheering for and advising failed, twice-impeached former President Donald Trump during his term in office. Additionally, at least 21 people worked at Fox News and later in the Trump administration.
In other words, Ingraham is engaged in classic projection: Accusing others of your own actions. It’s the very same tactic used by tyrants throughout history.
And that’s exactly what social media users told Ingraham as they slammed her for being a pathetic hypocrite:
Colorado Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert has been a member of the House of Representatives for almost a year now, and yet she hasn’t accomplished a damn thing other than a few snarky tweets, a lot of posturing, and the occasional attempt at pretending she should be taken seriously.
Such is the case with a tweet Boebert (a.k.a. Bobo) sent out on the topic of inflation, which is indeed on the rise, due in large part to the pent up demand of consumers who stayed home for over a year during the worst of the COVID pandemic and are now on a spending spree. Increased demand leads to a rise in prices. It’s the basics of economics: Supply and demand.
But rather than provide any solutions, Boebert fired off this brainless post:
When you factor inflation in, troops will be taking a paycut in 2022 – even though their pay is technically getting raised.
Joe Biden’s awful economic policies are ruining the lives of all Americans, even those who have served our country honorably!
So Bobo is worried about the troops? Then why doesn’t she propose legislation that would raise their salaries? Because that would require her to do some work, and all she really wants to do is whine and try to score political points.
Boebert also neglected to mention that the Biden administration has done something to help every American family with children in the form of the expanded child tax credit, which is providing $250 to $300 per child for working parents across the country. Would Boebert be in favor of extending that tax break? Hardly! Her party has been the one fighting to do away with the child tax credit since it went into place.
The congresswoman was quickly swatted down on social media:
Now explain how Trump's Trade War with China caused the supply chain issue.
I'll start: Trump put tariffs on Crane and Chassis groups that work out of the West Coast ports, which alone is 40% of our inbound shipping. Low supply increases demand, which increases inflation.
O.k. Explain exactly what policies are driving inflation? Do you know what causes inflation? Of course not. I'd have greater success teaching my dog algebra than explaining economics to you.
On Monday, President and Mrs. Biden announced there was a new member of the Biden family and administration: An adorable German Shepherd named Commander.
What’s not to love about a dog? They’re loyal, faithful, devoted, and in many cases the best friend a person will ever have.
Yet despite the great news about Commander now roaming the White House grounds, it seems that some right-wingers, conservatives, and MAGAts decided the adoption of a new four-legged buddy was the perfect opportunity to take cheap shots at the president.
Ever since a mentally ill homeless man set fire to the gaudy Christmas tree outside Fox News headquarters in New York last week, propagandists at the right-wing network have desperately been trying to find a way to blame the incident on President Joe Biden, suggesting that a rise in the crime rate across the country led to the torching of the Fox tree.

On Monday, Fox correspondent Peter Doocy ran the idea of Biden shouldering some of the blame by White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, and based on the response he received, he probably wishes he’d kept that question on his notepad and to himself.
Specifically, Doocy noted that the man charged with the crime had been charged and released until his court date, which led him to go on a mini-rant aimed at the president, who has absolutely nothing to do with who does or doesn’t go to jail in the city of New York:
“But I guess what good does it do if you’re gonna give police departments extra money if they arrest bad guys, and they bring ’em to jail, and then they’re not prosecuted? They’re just right back out on the street.
“We’ve seen an arsonist burn down a half a million dollar Christmas tree in New York City. Back out on the streets. Does the President think that that’s good governing?”
That was all it took for Psaki to calmly remind Doocy how the criminal justice system works and what powers a president does and doesn’t have as it relates to crimes committed in local jurisdictions:
“I think Peter, what our focus is on is making sure that the local leaders, the police officers and departments who know what they need for these communities have the assistance and the funding they need and that’s what we’re working around the clock on.
“I would point you to the local police departments or the Department of Justice.”

In other words, stop asking moronic questions you know the answer to before you ever pose them.
And if you’re dumb enough to put up a half-million dollar tree in a public place and someone decides to burn it down, take your tax write-off and shut the hell up already. You sound like a damn three-year-old who didn’t get what he wanted from Santa.
It’s been quite some time since anyone has heard a peep from washed up former “actress” Kirstie Alley, whose last decent acting job was when she was a cast member on the NBC show “Cheers,” which ended in 1993, meaning Alley hasn’t had a good gig in nearly 30 years.
Alley thought it’d be a good idea to go on Twitter and attack White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki as “condescending” and a “mean girl,” which is the height of irony wince Kirstie is the one firing off a mean tweet.
“Omg Jen Saki.. can you answer ANY question FULLY and without that condescending smirk? We are an audience of Americans who are listening in earnest for answers, not mean girl shit. Build your manners back better.”
Ah yes, if only we still had brain dead do-nothings in the White House press office. Remember Sean Spicer? He was such a dud that he wound up only being able to get a part-time job on “Dancing With the Stars.”
There was also Stephanie Grisham, who never held a single press briefing during her tenure as press secretary.
And let’s not forget Kayleigh McEnany a.k.a Princess Holier-Than-Thou, who was fond of saying he would never lie to the media because it’d be a sin and then proceeded to spin more lies than everyone on the planet other than her then-boss, Donald Trump.
Kirstie Alley might have thought she’d get lots of praise for her asinine tweet at Psaki, but what she wound up getting was an internet beating. Take a look:
But Trump's press officers lying to Americans daily for four years — that was okay?
I don’t remember Kaleigh answering any question let alone answering one partially. She was great at slamming her book of ‘notes’ shut and walking away briskly. I’d love to have them side by side on video answering similar questions. Then get back to me.
