    [** Official President Joe Biden Thread **]

    I didn't say it couldn't have been accidentally created in a lab, but that is not the same as saying it was deliberately bioengineered, which was the claim Rand Paul and others have made.

    https://www.statesman.com/story/news/politics/politifact/2021/02/09/covid-dr-anthony-fauci-did-not-fund-research-tied-creation/4450338001/ POLITIFACT Fact-check: Did Dr. Fauci fund research that created COVID-19? WorldNetDaily: “New evidence ties COVID-19 creation to research funded by Fauci" PolitiFact's ruling: False [...] As evidence of its claim, the article cited an investigation by Fox News commentator Steve Hilton, who claims that the coronavirus was created at the Wuhan lab with NIH grant money. Although the NIH did fund a project at the Wuhan lab, there’s no proof that the coronavirus was bioengineered. Both the WorldNetDaily article and Hilton’s segment rely on a series of unsubstantiated allegations to spin a conspiracy theory about the virus being a lab creation. WorldNetDaily has since dialed back on many of its claims, issuing three separate corrections, all of which cite scientists pushing back on the notion that SARS-CoV-2 was manmade. It has also placed a question mark at the end of the original headline. However, the bulk of the article text has not been updated.

    Footage of the caravans actually reaching the border and crossing into the US? No.

    Caravans are a myth Fox and the GOP trot out every two to four years to scare the Republican base. It works but there is no truth to it.

    There is no truth to that. But carry on.

    In a memo from May 2022 reported to The Daily Caller, yeah that sounds legitimate.
  9. And in related news: Colonel Sanders is on track to win more chicken votes than any other Republican presidential candidate in history, according to a review of polls conducted by Bloomberg.
  10. All of a sudden? We loved him after he corrected the woman who said Obama was an "Arab" in a Town Hall meeting.
  11. McCain couldn't with his injury and Trump is making fun of it. That is the point. How mean-spirited this man is. What else could he be referring to by saying "John McCain for some reason couldn’t get his arm up that day."
  12. And people here say he didn't mock the disabled reporter, but here he is again mocking McCain's POW arm injury.

    Dude, I've called it an insurrection. Saying that I've never called it an insurrection is taken from another unrelated discussion and out of context.

    What are you calling out?
  15. In some school districts books were banned for the appropriate age of students they were recommended for, which, in the case of Gender Queer, did not include 3rd graders.

    Yes. It was an insurrection or attempted coup. Yes. Trump was a causal factor which will be proven by Jack Smith. I don't know what you exactly you mean by the 3rd bolded.
  17. I have said nothing about the book Gender Queer and no, it hasn't been made available to 3rd graders from any source I've seen. Fox said the NEA recommended it for elementary schools, which was a falsehood. https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2023/gender-queer-book-in-elementary-schools/ The NEA didn’t recommend the ‘Gender Queer’ book for elementary schools. They recommended it for educators Several Fox News hosts have falsely claimed the National Education Association recommended the graphic memoir for young students. [...] But “Gender Queer” deals with the author’s journey of coming out as nonbinary and asexual. And the NEA says the list was always intended for adults. Fox News itself noted the NEA’s list was for educators in a separate online article published July 4. After blowback and misinformation spread, the NEA on July 5 appended the reading list with an editor’s note. “Educators read diverse books so that they can better understand their colleagues, students, and families they serve,” it said. “The books here are not recommended for students.” Fox News did not respond to PolitiFact’s requests for comment.
  18. Seriously, would we be still talking about him if he had retired to Mar-A-Lago? I doubt it, outside of his legal troubles.
  19. That was in the City of Burbank, which has its own school system and it removed To Kill A Mockingbird and Huckleberry Finn (among others) from the "required classroom reading lists" but did not ban the books - the titles are still available for individual reading and teachers can use then with small groups (under certain circumstances). The was after parent complaints about the use of racist epithets' https://www.marshall.edu/library/bannedbooks/to-kill-a-mockingbird/#:~:text=After parent complaints about the,from required classroom reading lists.
  20. I don't get the name calling in this forum and I mean for both sides. Seriously, how do you expect to have a serious discussion with anyone if you insult them?
