New Census data released this morning shows just how anemic the Harris-Biden economy has been

Median household income today is **lower** than it was in 2019

1/🧵 2/

With this data, you can directly compare the first 3 years of the Harris-Biden administration with the first 3 years of the Trump administration

From 2016 to 2019, median household income rose by nearly $7,700

That's *7 times* the increase we saw under Harris-Biden (just over $1,000)

The same is true across all major racial groupsImage

Unsurprisingly, Biden has made up most of this war story.

Lt. Ambrose Finnegan was a ground crew member and ordinance officer, not a reconnaissance pilot.

In 1944, Finnegan was the passenger of an A-20 (a twin-engine, not single-engine plane) that ditched, it wasn't shot down.

The flight went down over the Bismarck Sea, not "in an area where there were a lot of cannibals."Image

Image Just before he said the above, Biden claimed that his four uncles all enlisted the day after "D-Day," which is also false.

D-Day was June 6, 1944.

Military records show Ambrose Finnegan enlisted on January 21, 1941.

Finnegan went missing on May 14, 1944.

This is bizarre for several reasons:

Insulin was discovered by more than one person (two or three or four depending on how you want to credit)

It *was* patented (the patent was sold for $1 to the University of Toronto)

Those co-discoverers died in 1935, 1941, 1965, & 1978 This isn't a slip of the tongue either.

Biden made the exact same claim in a private DNC event on Friday, saying he "talked to" the person who "invented" insulin

Biden's claim, unsurprisingly, appears to be completely made up

🧵

1/x This isn't the first time Biden's claimed this

He's frequently repeated it, saying his grandfather was an "All-American" football player at Santa Clara

Even back in the 1980s, Richard Ben Cramer's "What It Takes" mentions this

Two people who stand to get big new tax breaks under Dems' tax cut for the rich are Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi

cnbc.com/2019/07/16/3-t… In 2019, Biden lost ***over $100,000*** in deductions because of the SALT cap the Trump tax cuts put in place

Democrats' bill would eviscerate that cap

During an event today, Joe Biden again lied and claimed that he came "out of the civil rights movement" in Delaware during the 1960s

Biden made this up and has repeated it multiple times over the years

It's simply not true In 1987, during the fallout from his plagiarism scandal, Biden even admitted this wasn't true

Biden said he wasn't "an activist," wasn't "out marching," and wasn't "down in Selma"

His extent of being "involved" was being the "only white lifeguard" at an all black pool

Biden's second Congressional baseball game would have been in 1974

Did he really hit a 368 foot shot?

No, he went 0-2 In 1975, Biden was so good he "got stuck in traffic" and didn't start

But he did make sure his press team reached out to Delaware's Morning News to issue a correction so everyone knew he actually "played" in the game

"Make the solar panels"

"Learn to code"

"Willing to sacrifice ... hundreds of thousands of blue-collar" jobs

Biden and his Administration have made clear over and over again that they don't care about America's energy workers And that Kerry claim about solar and wind turbine jobs?

Here are those numbers. They were the fastest growing *by percentage*

BLS projected both fields combined would only create 10,000 jobs over a decade, or just 1,000 per year

The Senator that Biden spoke of affectionately during this story he told today?

It's noted segregationist James Eastland

Eastland is one of the two segregationist senators Biden praised last year for their "civility" Here's Biden telling the story in 2012, where he names Eastland

That Moody's report Biden keeps citing to say his economic plan is better? Not really worth the paper it's printed on

The same economist - Mark Zandi - estimated Trump's plans in 2016

Every prediction was wildly off on economic growth, unemployment, jobs, and the stock market ImageImageImage Zandi's projections for job growth by mid-2019 if Trump was elected, compared to where we were in mid-2016:

▶️1.7 million
▶️-1.9 million
▶️3.1 million

The actual number?

More than 6 million jobs, double Zandi's ***best*** scenario ImageImageImage

Thread:

Unsurprisingly, Joe Biden again is lying about the the Trump Administration's record on funding law enforcement

Here are the facts... Federal aid to state and local law enforcement fell during the Obama-Biden Administration

Meanwhile, funding has gone up under the Trump Administration

1/3 Joe Biden grossly overstating death tolls: a short thread

Yesterday Joe Biden claimed 120 million Americans had died from the Coronavirus, a number that was off by a mere 119.88 million 2/3

In February, Biden claimed that "150 million" Americans had been murdered with a gun since 2007, a number that was off by a factor of 1,000, or roughly 149.85 million

This is nonsense and an insult to the men and women at the CDC, HHS, and other public health agencies who have been working on coronavirus since early January

The CDC set up its incident management system for coronavirus on Jan 7 This was before the first death was even reported out of China, and during a period when the Chinese were still claiming there was "no evidence" the virus could spread between humans

Incredible contrast between @NYTimes reporter tweet versus full quote

Full quote makes it clear President Trump said the federal government will help states; cut off quote makes it appear just the opposite Not just one tweet either

Apparently deliberately misrepresenting what the President said on the call is a thing in the @nytimes newsroom today
