White House Midterm Plan: Deny Reality
Biden, known for tall tales and wandering aimlessly, apparently has his press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre focused on dodging any difficult question. Instead, she simply spews nonsense.
On Friday, Jean-Pierre stated that Biden is working to bring down inflation “without sacrificing all of the historic gains that we made this past year and life-changing economic gains this country has made over the last 19 months.”
Pardon? “Life-changing” isn’t always a good thing. Under Biden, life has changed for the worse.
Jean-Pierre’s comments came just hours after the Heritage Foundation released a study showing that the average American has lost the equivalent of $4,200 in annual income since Biden took office.
“This financial catastrophe for American families is the direct result of a president and Congress addicted to spending our money, combined with a Federal Reserve compliantly enabling this addiction by printing more dollars,” E.J. Antoni, research fellow in regional economics with The Heritage Foundation’s Center for Data Analysis, said in a statement.
Antoni noted that the country is in a “vicious spiral” caused by Biden, his cabal in Congress, and the Fed.
Biden May Try To Fire World Bank President For Not Pushing Climate Policy Enough, Possible Replacement Chimes In: Report
White House officials have considered trying to get World Bank President David Malpass fired for not pursuing climate change policies with sufficient zeal, according to a Friday report from Axios.
Malpass, who formerly served as under secretary of the Treasury for international affairs under former President Donald Trump, was asked on Tuesday whether he affirms that the “manmade burning of fossil fuels is rapidly and dangerously warming the planet.” Malpass reportedly said: “I don’t even know. I’m not a scientist.”
People familiar with the matter told Axios that the Biden administration has long viewed Malpass with suspicion and confirmed that officials have considered replacing him — although the process for triggering a leadership change at the international financial institution would likely be complicated.
The United States is the largest shareholder in the World Bank, which provides loans and grants to the governments of developing nations for capital projects, and the president typically nominates the organization’s leader. Malpass, who was nominated by Trump in 2019, is slated to complete his five-year term in 2024.
Joe Biden Fiddles While Rome Burns
On Saturday, Joe Biden departed for yet another vacation to their Delaware beach house. That marks 242 days spent on rest and pleasure since the president took office less than two years ago.
The evening before his departure, the White House hosted a massive party to mark the passage of $6 billion in taxpayer money on AIDS and HIV research and prevention. All the stops were pulled out, with a large glass and metal awning being erected, lined with state-of-the-art sound equipment so Elton John could perform live. The crowd cheered and the champagne flowed as the smart set partook in the spoils of the beltway.
It’s entirely possible to perform the duties of the president from just about anywhere in the world. If you can give DT a pass on being the president from a golf course, you have to give Joe a pass on being president from the beach.
Biden Repeats False Claim About AR-15 Bullet Velocity In Call For Ban
Although some mass shooters, including the Uvalde and Buffalo killers from earlier this year, have used AR-15-style rifles, most murders are committed with handguns. Advocates of more restrictive gun control laws describe AR-15s and AK-47s as “assault rifles,” although there is no technical definition for the term.
Biden has often repeated the claim that AR-15s shoot bullets at higher velocities than other guns. Earlier this month, The Washington Post reported that Biden had “bungled the statistic” after he made the same claim in late August.
“Biden was clearly wrong in his statement this week,” the Post wrote.
Biden has made other false claims about guns and the Second Amendment. In May of this year, he claimed that when the Second Amendment was enacted, it did not allow people to possess certain weapons.
“And I might add: The Second Amendment, from the day it was passed, limited the type of people who could own a gun and what type of weapon you could own,” he said. “You couldn’t buy a cannon.”
'#BidenHateSpeech'
Fox News Digital spoke with Brandt's neighbors who wished to remain anonymous as they shared sordid details of his past:
Somehow, as of Saturday evening, The New York Times has still not covered the incident. Making this all the more egregious is that as highlighted on Twitter by user Comfortably Smug, the outlet has covered over 20 stories of "political violence" for the month of September.
The Democrats actually claimed spending billions of dollars after inflation already passed 8% would help bring costs down.
Dummy Joe Biden couldn’t even define inflation on Monday.
“Because what’s inflation? Inflation is at the end of the month do you have less money from your paycheck or more money from your paycheck,” Biden said.

While speaking briefly with reporters yesterday at a meeting of the White House Competition Council, Biden made clear that he was directing his staff to finally focus on inflation … almost 18 months after Biden’s American Rescue Plan touched it off, and about three weeks after doing an embarrassing touchdown dance on inflation. Wages, Biden has suddenly realized, aren’t keeping up with escalating prices (via The Last Refuge):
Ahem. During the entire time that Biden “grew up” (1950s to mid-1960s), the US had a remarkable period of price stability in gasoline. Why? Because we had lots of supply to serve the demand levels of that period, thanks to a massive refining capacity compared to demand, and even crude oil imports were dirt cheap until about the time Biden went to Washington DC. (The two are not related, nor am I arguing they are.) We didn’t see significant price shocks at the gas pumps until the oil embargo in 1973, brought on in part over foreign-policy disputes, and even then were largely unnecessary had we committed to extracting our own oil on a wider basis. It took us nearly a decade to finally demolish the regulatory and tax obstacles to do that, which alleviated our reliance on foreign producers and their strategic advantage over the US.

WHAT WILL BE IN THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION RULE?
The Labor Department has not revealed any details of the proposal, but is widely expected to restrict independent contracting.The department could model its rule on legal guidance adopted during the Obama administration that said workers are employees when they are economically dependent on a company. Or it could go further and adopt a three-pronged standard known as the "ABC test" that is used in several states including California and Massachusetts. Under that standard, workers are employees unless they own independent businesses, are free from a company's control, and perform work that is outside of a company's usual course of business.
WHEN IS THE NEW RULE LIKELY TO COME?
The Labor Department in July sent a draft of its proposal to the White House for review, one of the final steps before it is released to the public. The agency must then collect and review public comments, so a final rule likely will not take effect until well into next year.WHICH INDUSTRIES WILL BE AFFECTED MOST?
Any change in policy is expected to have a negative impact on an array of industries including retail and manufacturing, but the effect on the explosive growth of the "gig economy," which heavily relies on independent contractors, has received the most attention. Last year, U.S. Labor Secretary Marty Walsh told reuters that many gig workers should be classified as employees.Limiting independent contracting would also have an outsized impact on trucking companies that rely on contractors who own their trucks to meet fluctuations in demand and avoid the costs of maintaining fleets of trucks. Trucking firms raising prices or limiting services could, in turn, place further strain on supply chains that have already been hobbled by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Some industries could be spared from the new standard if the Department of Labor includes exemptions to the rule. California and other states exempt many professional occupations, including doctors, lawyers, real estate agents and financial service providers, from strict classification standards.

Explainer: How the Biden administration could restrict independent contracting
The U.S. Department of Labor is expected to unveil a proposed rule in coming weeks that would make it harder for companies to treat workers as independent contractors, potentially upending the gig economy and other industries that rely heavily on contract labor.
To make matters worse, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre defended the statement as if it were a normal thing to say. Jean-Pierre remarked, “she was on his mind, she was top of mind,” and added that she didn’t “find his comments confusing.”
The only way the gaffe isn’t confusing is if Biden has a hidden medical diagnosis relating to his cognitive abilities. That would explain quite a lot about Biden’s actions.
Next, Biden’s wife Jill must have been reading The Daily Wire because she helped Biden make it off the stairs after giving a speech on Wednesday. Last week, this author pondered in a column, “Why Does Biden Constantly Wander Around Aimlessly After Speeches?”
“It would be one thing if this were a one-off occurrence, but the Mr. Magoo-esque podium exit has become a hallmark of the 46th president’s time in office,” the column stated.
This author also asked, “If Joe Biden Were Your Dad, Would You Let Him Live On His Own?” while putting forth the notion that the first lady and Biden’s family were committing elder abuse.
Well, on Wednesday, Jill was seen directing Biden away from the podium in the Rose Garden. “You go down … here,” Jill can be heard saying while guiding her husband.
