CAREFUL!!!, Biden book-cooking, Russian Captain arrested, ISIS-linked aliens released
Careful What And Where You Read!
There’s lots of #LWBS out there.
Often can be identified by click-bait headlines - example: “VA eliminates office helping minority veterans with benefits“. Sounds like VA did a bad thing, right? Is it consistent with VA’s mission, track record, …? And even more, in this time of Christian driven change, is it consistent with track record and beliefs of new VA Secretary Doug Collins? Don’t know? Maybe you should learn about Doug Collins1.
Often can be identified by the people quoted about the click-bait headline - in this case, several rabid lefties - Sen Warnock, Rep Takano, Sen Ossoff and one end-of-life RINO Sen Graham.
Often can be identified by click-bait sub-heads - “The Department of Veterans Affairs, a huge employer in the Augusta area, has eliminated an office created to help minority veterans.“ Now, in a time where America is fighting off bankruptcy, articles focused on the number of government jobs, rather than the services delivered is naturally suspect.
A red-flag element, to identify #LWBS is “created under President Joe Biden” meaning it was driven by woke, DEI, …
AND, the big one - I, initially, only found two other articles about this issue, both of which were published by CNN and simply quoted the first article - that is, there was no attempt at actual journalism. However, deeper digging (Thank you Grok) produced analysis from Daily Caller and The Federalist2

More #BidenAdmin “book cooking”
ICE officials revealed that the Biden administration falsely inflated illegal alien arrest numbers by counting individuals processed and released into the U.S. as ICE arrests. Since President Trump took office, actual arrests have already surpassed all of 2024.

DNI Gabbard: Biden Admin Released ISIS-Linked Illegal Aliens Into America
The Biden administration’s reckless border policies were revealed, again, to have put American lives at risk, as only eight out of more than 100 migrants with suspected ISIS ties were locked up or deported after illegally crossing into the U.S.

Both articles frame the Office of Equity Assurance as a Biden-era DEI initiative—pegged to his 2021 equity push—and argue it was a “jobs program” that didn’t deliver for veterans, matching your view. They cite the VA’s cost-cutting (over $14 million in salaries and contracts) and Trump’s anti-DEI stance (January 20, 2025, EO) as evidence it was bloated and ineffective. Critics in these pieces dismiss its mission—addressing minority vet disparities—as either redundant (core VA services already handle benefits) or unproven (no hard data showing it worked). This contrasts with Military.com’s note of its intent to fix documented gaps (e.g., 2023 GAO findings on Black vets’ lower approval rates) and WRBL’s Warnock critique of lost care focus.
