HERE IS ONE OF THEIR FACT CHECKS:

Trump Said:

“Heroin alone kills 300 Americans a week, 90 percent of which comes across our southern border.”

WaPo fact checkers say:

The 300-a-week number checks out. But while 90 percent of the heroin sold in the United States comes from Mexico, virtually all of it comes through legal points of entry. “A small percentage of all heroin seized by [Customs and Border Protection] along the land border was between Ports of Entry (POEs),” the Drug Enforcement Administration said in a 2018 report. So Trump’s wall would do little to halt drug trafficking. Trump’s repeated claim that the wall would stop drug trafficking is a Bottomless Pinocchio claim.

Of course NO ONE knows how much got through via non entry points.....so they have to make up a fictitious statistic.

They are too ignorant to take into account how resources that are being used to protect the border by border patrol agents, could be reallocated with a wall in place.

“In general, a port of entry (POE) is a place where one may lawfully enter a country. ... International airports are usually ports of entry, as are road and rail crossings on a land border. Seaports can be used as ports of entry only if a dedicated customs presence is posted there.”

Wikipedia

So is the Compost saying that the border checkpoints along our southern borders are not points of entry?

Obama:

“In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died — an entire town destroyed.” (12 people died)

“I’ve now been in 57 states — I think one left to go.”

“On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes — and I see many of them in the audience here today — our sense of patriotism is particularly strong.”

“I’m here with the Girardo family here in St. Louis.” (Speaking via satellite while in Kansas)

“No, no. I have been practicing...I bowled a 129. It’s like — it was like Special Olympics, or something.”

“We’re the country that built the Intercontinental Railroad.”

“When I meet with world leaders, what’s striking — whether it’s in Europe or here in Asia...” (As he spoke to Hawaiians)

Outright lies by obama:

1) Carried out military interventionism in Libya without Congressional approval

2) Gave a no-bid contract to Halliburton – just like Bush did

3) Has an administration full of lobbyists, after promising he wouldn’t have any

4) Has close ties to Wall St., but pretends to support Occupy Wall St.

5) Broke his promise to close Guantanamo Bay

6) Supported the $700 billion TARP corporate-welfare bailout just like Bush

7) Waged the biggest war against medical marijuana of any president, which was the opposite of what he had promised

8) Nominated a six-time tax cheater to head the government agency that enforces the tax laws9) Gave tax dollars to AIG executives, then pretended to be outraged about it

There are many more documented lies at the site listed above

Apparently the Wash post is blind when it comes to democrats lying

The WaPo factchecker recently evaluated Pinnochio’s claim to the Figaro the Cat that he had lost his gold coins.

The WaPo found Pinnochio’s claim demonsterably false and awarded him Four Alexandria Ocasio-Corezes.

Zero-sum pukes at the Bezos Blog. If personnel can be freed up from between ports of entry, more effort can be dedicated to stemming heroin flow at POEs.

If the State Department knows that 90% of heroin/fent/etc... are smuggled into the States from legal ports of entries, then I assume they track each and every load that makes it through, which means they are complicit in every sales that transpires.

Oh, I forgot, they make-up that number based on busts compared to a land border busts which means jack squat. Is the Washington Post unaware that there are ‘unregulated’ tunnels all across the border where the drugs flow from freely and easily?

People buying this crap like are either idiots or disingenuous.

You have to love this claim. All they KNOW is what has been captured going through ports. Not how much wasn’t caught through the ports and certainly can’t know how much never went through the ports.

It’s making an assertion you can’t possibly have the data to support, yet they do anyway.

I know, they’re just hacks....but still - and PDJT never said a “wall would stop drug trafficking”. That is an absolute which would never be true.
