When Is A Lie A Lie?

 Are you a liar? I have to admit I've told lies in my life mostly to get out of trouble. Some lies are of good intentions but in the long run a lie creates the need for another lie and on and on and on.

I want to trust my government but I don't. I've been around too long and witnessed too many lies to trust them. With this admiinistration, though, the lies are getting to be uttered a number of times daily.

We've all heard the phrase, "You can tell a persons character by the little things they do or say." Let's say you're walking down the street and a citizen is finishing a cup of coffee and throws the empty container on the ground. What do you think? And then what if a person tells you they have no idea how idea how a window got broken. This was after you saw them throw a rock through it.

The White House lied twice through its spokesperson Jen Psaki and it came back to bite her in the butt. Joe Biden had a dog, Major by name, who we were told bit a Secret Service agent in the White House. The pooch was then sent to their home in Delaware. End of story? Not quite. It turns out Major bit this agent eight days in a row. It's a minor story really but Psaki's answer speaks volumes about lying.

A reporter from the New York Post asked Psaki about this. She said it wasn't that important. The reporter, thankfully, foll\owed up with, "How can we trust you on the big stories when you lie to us about the little ones?" This says volumes about integrity and honesty. Can we trust them on Afghan information, on stories from the border, on Covid, on Hunter Biden and his relationship with foreign countries?

The White House patted themselves on the back and told us they had the largest air lift in history. They then admitted only a hundred or so Americans were left behind. Do you believe them about the 100 they abandoned? Sources say there were close to one thousand. Who do you believe?

It's horrible to lose the trust of people. I know. I've been there. We all have but when it's your leaders who do this to us the stakes are much higher than lying about throwing a coffee cup on the ground, aren't they?
