FACT CHECK: Falsehoods Galore

Glenn Kessler of The Washington Post has been one of the most reliable reporters out there. So when he says there's no evidence of Trump wrongdoing in the Epstein matter, that's not like some partisan stooge saying it. Of course, it also doesn't explain why Trump and so many of those around him are acting like there's a bombshell waiting to emerge.

And, speaking about acting guilty, Politifact bestows its coveted "Pants On Fire" award to Mr. Trump for his irrational insistence that the Epstein Files were written by Comey, Obama, Biden and other folks who weren't in office at the time and never did anything with those files they supposedly authored to destroy Trump.

FactCheck.org notes that Border Czar Tom Homan keeps insisting there are over 600,000 illegal aliens with criminal records walking the streets of this nation. But that number includes a lot of people who entered the U.S. legally and a lot who have never been convicted of anything.

Meanwhile, an analysis from the University of Pennsylvania and Yale University is estimating that the "Big, Beautiful Bill" will lead to at least 42,500 preventable deaths each year and to a whole lot of suffering. Trump and his minions say otherwise…

…But then Trump is also throwing around some numbers about a surplus here and there which do not seem to the whole truth. And he also says his approval/disapprove numbers have never been more favorable to him while lots of other sources — Ed Kilgore cites some of them — are saying just the opposite. Who do you believe?
