The liberal 'fact-check' scam

 Miranda Devine:

It should be clear by now that the “fact-checking” industry exists only to denigrate conservative ideas and suppress news the left doesn’t want reported. It is an ideological weapon thinly disguised as objective analysis of empirical facts.

It is used by partisan media outfits such as the Washington Post to accuse competitors of journalistic malpractice and justify their own errors and omissions.

It is an insult to journalism. Which brings us to Mr. Pinocchio himself, Glenn Kessler, WaPo’s resident “fact-checker,” last seen claiming Republican Sen. Tim Scott’s slave ancestors had it easy.

This week, Kessler attempted to fact-check our front-page story last month revealing fresh evidence that Joe Biden, as vice president, met with foreign clients of his son Hunter, including Vadym Pozharskyi, an executive at the corrupt Ukrainian energy company Burisma, at a dinner in Washington, DC. This was in 2015, at a time when Burisma was paying Hunter $83,333 a month to sit on its board.

Our story showed that Joe also met Russian and Kazakhstani business associates of Hunter’s at the April 16, 2015, dinner in a private room at Café Milano.

We cited emails from Hunter’s abandoned laptop, including a guest list he prepared a month ­before the dinner.

The White House did not respond to our inquiries at the time and has not disputed the accuracy of our story nor requested a retraction or correction. Nor did the Biden campaign challenge the ­authenticity of the email we published from Pozharskyi last year, thanking Hunter for introducing him to Joe.
...

There is much more. 

Kessler apparently overlooked the fact that Pozharskyi is on the list of attendees with his first name.  There is other evidence that he was there that Kessler evidently ignores.  The whole fact-check genre has devolved into liberals writing one-sided briefs in support of the Democrat narrative.  They are used to nit-pick conservatives and make excuses for libs.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
