The anchors of NBC’s Today spun themselves dizzy on Saturday as they tried to give credence to two separate liberal talking points. First, Laura Jarrett memory-holed the COVID lockdowns as she proclaimed President Joe Biden to be the best jobs president “in history” while Peter Alexander tried to tie the current Los Angeles wildfires to climate change.

Jarrett was up first, and she reported that “The White House announced Friday that President Biden will deliver a farewell address to the nation from the Oval Office next Wednesday, and Mr. Biden got a jump on that process Friday, touting his administration’s economic numbers following a stronger-than-expected December jobs report.”

She added, “The president saying the economy made quote ‘transformational progress’ during the past four years, adding more than 16 million jobs, the most in any presidential term in history.”

Not because Biden was an economic genius, but because the jobs simply returned after the COVID lockdowns that he and other Democrats demanded, all while passing a misnamed Inflation Reduction Act that increased inflation.

Alexander then transitioned to warnings of impending climate doom: “Government scientists say that 2024 was the hottest year on record. That is now two years in a row that global temperatures have shattered records. Scientists say it is part of the warming trend that they warned about for a long time due to greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. El Niño, they say, contributed to the warming as well. Experts say a warming planet is more prone to natural disasters like the California wildfires and catastrophic hurricanes.”

The current wildfires in California were likely started by arson or electrical lines and exacerbated by powerful winds and government incompetence that didn’t take fire warnings seriously in addition to bad Democratic policy.
