Oh, The Drama at the White House, My Dear!

Well, I never! You simply must hear what that Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary — can you believe it, sweetie? — was prattling on about just the other day, December 11, 2025, to be exact. She stood right there at the podium, bold as brass, announcing that the economy was doing just splendidly! Splendidly!

She declared inflation had slowed to a mere 2.5% and that everyone's wages were up a whopping $1,200. Can you imagine such a thing? Like a cat on a hot tin roof, she pivoted faster than my old turntable when CNN’s Kaitlan Collins tried to ask a follow-up question. Instead of answering, she just pointed fingers and started carrying on about poor Jen Psaki, saying she told “utter lies” last year. My goodness!

Honestly, The Nerve! Grandma Just Can't Even!

Oh, sweetie, the way she was carrying on, you’d think she invented transparency herself! She kept insisting President Donald Trump is the “most transparent president in history,” even after he told that poor journalist, Catherine Lucey, “Quiet, Piggy!” Imagine! And then, when it came to those dreadful Epstein files, she had the gall to say this administration did more for transparency than any other. Well, I just about spilled my tea!

Back in my day, we called a spade a spade, not a garden tool for “enhanced digging experiences.” This whole “doublethink” and “doublespeak” business, as they call it, just gives me the vapors! It’s like she’s trying to make us believe that “WAR IS PEACE; FREEDOM IS SLAVERY; IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.” Heavens to Betsy, it just makes my head spin!

Now, Let's Get Down to Brass Tacks, Shall We?

Apparently, dear, those “real, factual data” she was bragging about weren't so real after all. It turns out the inflation rate in September was actually 3%, not her cherry-picked 2.5%. And as for those booming wages? According to CNN's business editor, David Goldman, workers have seen the lowest annual paycheck growth since May 2021. Lowest!

And that's not all, oh no. This Leavitt girl has been quite a storyteller, bless her heart. She claimed the U.S. Agency for International Development, bless their cotton socks, gave $32,000 for a “transgender comic book” in Peru. Not true, sweetie, not true at all! She also tried to say the “One Big Beautiful Bill” totally eliminated taxes on tips and Social Security. Another tall tale!

And get this: she said President Trump coined “peace through strength.” Well, I never! Ronald Reagan used that phrase ages ago, and everyone knows it! Honestly, the things they come up with!

Grandma's Final Word: It's Enough to Give You Wrinkles!

It just goes to show, doesn’t it, that some folks will twist words into pretzels to make their point. As that clever George Orwell once wrote, it's about making “lies sound truthful and murder respectable.” Goodness gracious!

This whole kerfuffle with Karoline Leavitt just reminds me that you can't believe everything you hear, especially from a podium. One must always look a little deeper, sweetie, always. It’s enough to make a grandma just want to knit in peace and quiet, away from all this modern foolishness!
