The Last Lie? The Drone Paradigm It has become a reflex reaction. Tap the Biden administration on the knee with a rubber hammer and it kicks out a lie. And it has never mattered to the likes of Alejandro Mayorkas and John Kirby and Karen Jean-Pierre that their lies are clearly and obviously are lies. The border is secure. Hunter will never be pardoned. Joe is mentally fit. Dumping trillions of made-up dollars into the economy did not cause inflation. The "vaccines" were completely "safe and effective." There was no government censorship program. Over the past years, they perfected the public injection of ignorance, responding – if questioned – with even more lies or, better yet, even more words and words and words, sound and fury, signifying nothing. And they have gotten away with it, in part because [...] https://thomas699.substack.com/p/the-last-lie

She handed an empty container back to the nurse. With a relieved look on her face, the blonde said, "Thank you! But they had a toilet in there, so I didn't need this after all."
