Amid budget-busting inflation and polls forecasting a red wave, the Biden administration apparently is struggling to find genuine, tangible accomplishments it can tout to voters ahead of the midterm elections next Tuesday.
The White House thought it found one and put out the word Tuesday on Twitter, which has been a reliable censor of messages that counter the administration’s narrative.
“Seniors are getting the biggest increase in their Social Security checks in 10 years through President Biden’s leadership,” the White House tweeted.
But Elon Musk’s Twitter is allowing readers to add “context” to messages, and they threw a penalty flag on the White House message.
Yes, the increase in Social Security payments was a result of Biden’s leadership. But not in the way the White House meant.
The rise actually was “due to the annual cost of living adjustment, which is based on the inflation rate,” said the added message, which is part of Twitter’s “community notes” function.
The White House subsequently deleted the post without explanation.

The increase in Social Security benefits of 8.7% for next year is based on the spike in the Consumer Price Index from the third quarter of 2021 to third quarter 2022.
It’s the largest cost-of-living increase since 1981.
Musk, in a tweet Tuesday, called the community notes feature “awesome.”
“Our goal is to make Twitter the most accurate source of information on Earth, without regard to political affiliation,” he said.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Leftwing billionaire George Soros bankrolls everything evil – most recently the 75 pro-criminal “Soros district attorneys” who have transformed America’s most dynamic cities into degraded, crime-infested hellscapes of skyrocketing violent crime. Soros also funds drug legalization, euthanasia, open borders, globalism, Black Lives Matter, “defunding the police,” devaluing America’s currency and destroying her sovereignty. But why?
Whistleblower magazine reveals and explores the stunning truth: Soros, an atheist, literally says he’s “some kind of god,” obsessed with re-creating the world in his image. Here are a few actual quotes from Soros: “If truth be known, I carried some rather potent messianic fantasies with me from childhood…” “It is a sort of disease when you consider yourself some kind of god, the creator of everything, but I feel comfortable about it now since I began to live it out.” “You know, in my personal capacity I’m not actually a selfless philanthropic person. I’ve very much self-centered.” “I am kind of a nut who wants to have an impact.” “Next to my fantasies about being God, I also have very strong fantasies of being mad. … I have a lot of madness in my family. So far I have escaped it.”
Except he hasn’t “escaped it.” Not only is Soros totally mad, but he’s imposing his insanity on America. See Soros and the leftwing world he has created and funded as never before in “THE BILLIONAIRE WHO THINKS HE’S ‘GOD’: Why George Soros is obsessed with destroying America.”
