Your Lying Eyes

Don’t believe your lying eyes.

That pretty much sums up the progressive approach to reality when  someone points out an inconvenient truth.

One of the most glaring examples came, you’ll recall, courtesy of CNN — the infamous video of a correspondent standing in front of an arson fire reporting on “fiery but mostly peaceful protests” during the 2020 George Floyd riots.

This phrase, “mostly peaceful protests,” would be repeated time and again during the wave of murder, arson, assaults on police and destruction of private and government property during the chaos of lawbreaking in those sorry days. Protests are peaceful, or they’re not, our lying eyes tell us.

Equally jaw-dropping were the insults to truth by Biden administration officials responding to images of thousands of illegal aliens pouring across our southern border on a daily basis. Then Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas declared, “The border is closed, the border is secure.”
