21 Jan 2021 Taxpayer-funded National Public Radio (NPR) declared Tuesday that one of the “takeaways” from President Joe Biden’s inauguration is that “Truth matters again.” Biden used his Inaugural Address to declare war on those whom, he claimed, lied for a living: Recent weeks and months have taught us a painful lesson. There is truth and there are lies. Lies told for power and for profit. And each of us has a duty and responsibility, as citizens, as Americans, and especially as leaders – leaders who have pledged to honor our Constitution and protect our nation — to defend the truth and to defeat the lies.
