JOE’S TRAIN WRECK

■ Gas hits brutal $6 a gallon ■ Border crisis gets worse ■ Ministry of Truth collapses ■ Market drops 1,164, worst day in two years ■ Baby formula disaster

President Biden’s follies just keep adding up, as inflation continued to sock Americans and he dropped the Orwellian “misinformation” board.

They couldn’t handle the truth. The Biden administration has “paused” its controversial plans to create a Disinformation Board, causing its would-be leader to resign.

In a statement Wednesday, Nina Jankowicz, the “disinformation expert” tapped to head the panel, said that “[w]ith the Board’s work paused and its future uncertain, and [sic] I have decided to leave DHS [the Department of Homeland Security] to return to my work in the public sphere.” Jankowicz’s departure and the decision to scrap the board was first reported by The Washington Post.

The board had been the subject of weeks of backlash from Republicans, libertarians and even some liberals, who likened the scheme to the Ministry of Truth from George Orwell’s classic novel “1984.”

The Washington Post reported that DHS had decided to stop the board’s work on Monday and Jankowicz had drafted a resignation letter as of Tuesday morning. The outlet added that she had been given the option to stay on in a call with DHS officials Tuesday evening.

The department did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the New York Post.

The Biden administration had quietly announced the creation of the board last month, saying it was meant to fight the spread of “disinformation” by agents of Russia, China and Iran that “can affect border security, Americans’ safety during disasters and public trust in our democratic institutions.” Amid the backlash, DHS insisted that the board “does not have any operational authority or capability” and was meant to preserve rather than limit free speech.

Spreading doubts

A DHS spokesperson insisted the board was “grossly and intentionally mischaracterized,” telling The Post: “It was never about censorship or policing speech in any manner. It was designed to ensure we fulfill our mission to protect the homeland, while protecting core constitutional rights. However, false attacks have become a significant distraction from the department’s vitally important work to combat disinformation that threatens the safety and security of the American people.” However, Jankowicz’s idea of standing up for the First Amendment included letting “verified” Twitter users “edit” other users’ tweets.

Jankowicz also repeatedly tried to spread doubt about The Post’s own reporting about Hunter Biden’s notorious laptop, telling The Associated Press in October 2020 that it should be viewed as “a Trump campaign product.”

In addition, Jankowicz pushed the sincedebunked claim in 2016 that thenpresidential candidate Donald Trump had a tie to Kremlin-linked Alfa Bank, an allegation at the center of an ongoing trial of a Clinton campaign lawyer accused by special counsel John Durham of lying to the FBI.

The misinformation maven was also ripped for a bizarre TikTok performance from February 2021 in which she altered the lyrics to the “Mary Poppins” song “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” to be about fake news.
