Biden's America Last Program

[Hessian]

ARE THE WHEELS COMING OFF THE BIDEN PRESIDENCY?​

The Biden Administration has reached the “you can’t fool all of the people all of the time” stage,” and the evidence shows Americans aren’t buying Biden’s excuses and blame-shifting.

The latest Gallup survey from late May is headlined, “Economic Pessimism Growing in the U.S.”

Equally interesting are the rankings of issues on an open-ended (that is, without offering pre-determined answers to respondents) question:

Notice that not many people are concerned about racism, or the war in Ukraine, or even health care.

Beyond the ideological perversity of the Biden White House is the problem of basic competence. They’re not even any good at lying and propaganda. Take, for example, this claim in Biden’s op-ed in the Wall Street Journal a few days ago:

Sort of a Build Back Better moment?

YouTube is now censoring journalism for the Biden administration​

The Ruling Class has used Jan. 6 to wage a jihad against its political opposition, including an assault on our most basic rights such as free speech.

Big Tech has reinforced the narrative that views antithetical to regime orthodoxy are dangerous and must be policed accordingly.

In the latest example, YouTube deleted a Jan. 6, 2020, interview conducted by a Post reporter with a Capitol-breach participant.

In the video, Aaron Mostofsky, son of a Brooklyn Supreme Court judge, explains why he was compelled to come to the Capitol, namely “to express . . . [his] opinion as a free American . . . that this election was stolen.”

To Google-owned YouTube, the footage contains dangerous “misinformation” — speech that it equates with harm — meriting removal. In its removal notice, it asserts that “it’s our job to make sure that YouTube is a safe place for all,” arguing that “content that advances false claims that widespread fraud . . . changed the outcome of the US 2020 presidential election is not allowed . . .”

As Gas Prices Break Records, Energy Secretary Reads Poetry And Blasts Conservative State Legislatures In Pride Flag Ceremony​

Granholm was too busy bashing conservative state legislatures, bragging about the number of Department of Energy (DOE) political appointees who identify as LGBTQ+, reading poetry, and hoisting the gay pride flag at a ceremony earlier this week.

On Monday, Granholm joined a handful of other DOE appointees to celebrate Pride Month and emphasize Biden’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

“Let’s be clear, the most important people in this organization are right here,” Granholm said regarding her colleagues standing at the microphone with her.

Jan 6th. was a planned event.
Not by Trump, but by Pelosi.

There will be no more Conservative demonstrations on the mall.
No one wants to spend a year in DC jail.

This is why the Biden administration is falling apart​

Ms. Yellen, the president, and other spokespeople will not accept the reality that their modern monetary theory and radical progressive policies of excessive government spending, welfare state expansion, the war against fossil fuels, the regulatory attacks on businesses, and the money printing by the Federal Reserve are the root causes of the high inflation that still faces us and will continue problematically for a good, long while.

It's not Vladimir Putin. It's not pandemic supply shortages. It's the progressive campaign against free-market capitalism and the failed big government socialist attempt to transform America into a state-run economy.

Mr. Biden has a 35% economic approval rating, according to the RealClearPolitics average, and his recent increase in inflation messaging is not going to change that, but he's got a lot of other problems as well.

His failing presidency is being rejected by the voters on virtually all accounts. They got inflation wrong. They were always a dollar short and a day late on Ukraine. More recently, they bungled the baby formula crisis.

In fact, yesterday, the president convened a meeting of the baby food producers and didn't bother to invite the country's largest baby formula producer, Abbott. Really? Is that the Biden version of a public-private partnership?

It kind of reminds me of when, awhile back, the president convened a meeting with the electric vehicle carmakers. Remember that? All the big guns were there, except, wait a minute, somehow they forgot to invite Elon Musk, whose Tesla company is by far the biggest electric carmaker.

I thought of something today. As a retiree and SS increase is tied to inflation. Can the govt fund an 8% increase next year .?

Insiders — and Hunter himself — say scandal-clad first son is Joe Biden’s ‘closest adviser’​

As our aged president appears to be slipping cognitively, as well as slipping literally on the stairs of Air Force One, as he did again Wednesday, the whole world is wondering who really is in charge at the White House.

Is it exhausted chief of staff Ron Klain calling the shots behind the scenes?

Is it Biden’s “Sherpa,” White House counselor Steve Ricchetti? Is it first lady Jill Biden?

But there is another alarming prospect: the “smartest man” Joe Biden knows, his son, the crack addict-turned-blowpipe artist Hunter Biden.

Boasting of influence​

Now, in a hitherto unpublished voice recording from an iPhone backup on Hunter’s abandoned laptop, the president’s son is heard boasting in detail about his political influence over his father.

“He’s going to talk about drug reform and any other thing that I want him to. [Joe Biden] thinks I’m a god.”

A recently released video shows a naked Hunter Biden walking around a hotel room with a gun and a hooker.
Recorded in Newburyport, Mass., on Dec. 3, 2018, at a time when Hunter was undergoing an unusual addiction-treatment program with therapist Keith Ablow, involving daily intravenous infusions of the horse tranquilizer ketamine, the audio file was provided to The Post by nonprofit research group Marco Polo, which is preparing a detailed report into the laptop.

Amid the sound of clinking glasses and his bubbling crack pipe, Hunter waxes philosophical for more than an hour with Phillipa Horan, a British artist he met at a dinner in LA in mid-2018 through his girlfriend Zoe Kestan, a lingerie designer who goes by the online handle “weed slut 420” and who appeared before the Delaware grand jury in February.

Hunter tells Horan that his father will “talk about anything that I want him to that he believes in. If I say this is important to me, then he will work a way in which to make it a part of his platform.

“My dad respects me more than he respects anyone in the world, and I know that to be certain, so it’s not going to be about whether it affects his politics.”

Hunter boasts about how he plans to capitalize on the notoriety “if my dad becomes president . . .

I wouldn't count on it.

Inflation was running around 6% last year. That was the increase.

Hunter was saying that when he was peddling influence.
Hunter isn't the power behind Biden.
That power belongs to Hussein Obama.

Reuters ran a gloomy story yesterday headlined, “World Bank Slashes Global Growth Forecast to 2.9%, Warns of ‘Stagflation’ Risk.” Uh oh!

In its Global Economic Prospects report, the World Bank predicted that the global economy is entering “a protracted period of feeble growth and elevated inflation.” That doesn’t sound too good. But the World Bank also warned things could get even worse.

“The danger of stagflation is considerable today,” the report begins. Stagflation! Last seen under democrat one-termer Jimmy Carter, who coincidentally employed many of the same economic policies that White House resident Joe Biden does. Odd.

I know what you’re thinking, but the problems have nothing to do with Joe. The World Bank says its covid plus Russia, which equals stagflation. Their suggestions for managing the crisis include working on reducing climate change. In other words, nothing is going to change until we get a different Administration here in the US. So buckle up.

The good news is much of the economic damage can easily and quickly be reversed. Just look how fast the energy sector turned around after the disastrous Obama presidency when President Trump opened the fracking fields.

It will happen. We just have to hang in there for a little while.

That's another thing that I hate.
Shell gas stations always put a price about 20 cents cheaper at the top of their signs.
It's a trick to bring you into that station, but the price at the top is IF YOU GET A CARWASH..
It brings your attention to the price, .
By now everyone is well aware of the trick so they drive on by.

There are some now with the top price as cash only.

Leftist SPLC Poll Includes Shocking Finding About Democrats’ Support For Assassinations​

A new poll by the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center found that nearly half of young Democrat men support assassinating political figures they consider dangerous to the country or democracy.

The finding was buried in the cross tabs of a poll that claimed the “hard right” favors so-called replacement theory. The poll of 1,500 adult Americans was conducted by the center and Tulchin Research to “examine the extent to which the extremist beliefs and narratives that mobilize the hard right have been absorbed by the wider American public.”

“We found that the ideas underpinning the white nationalist ‘great replacement’ narrative recently cited by an alleged white supremacist terrorist in Buffalo, New York, have become thoroughly mainstream on the political right,” the SPLC said of its findings.

'Many Democratic lawmakers’ are concerned by Biden’s leadership, feel U.S. is ‘falling apart’​

According to reporters Reid Epstein and Jennifer Medina, "many Democratic lawmakers and party officials are venting their frustrations with President Biden’s struggle to advance the bulk of his agenda, doubting his ability to rescue the party from a predicted midterm trouncing and increasingly viewing him as an anchor that should be cut loose in 2024."

Biden has been polling poorly, and there are reports that he and his White House staff are frustrated with the obstacles in front of him, including increasingly negative media coverage.

The report cited "nearly 50 Democratic officials" and "disappointed voters" who are "alarmed about Republicans’ rising strength and extraordinarily pessimistic about an immediate path forward" under the Biden administration.

There is "low enthusiasm" from Biden’s base and worry from party officials about the president’s "leadership, his age and his capability to take the fight to former President Donald J. Trump a second time," the Times wrote. It quoted Steve Simeonidis, a Democratic National Committee member from Florida, who said, "To say our country was on the right track would flagrantly depart from reality," and urged him to announce he wouldn't run again shortly after the midterms.

Bidenomics: The Left’s Latest Alibi



Meanwhile, during a White House briefing last week, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was questioned about the public’s pessimistic mood concerning the economy. A reporter asked her the following question: “Why do you think it is that 83 percent of people polled by the Wall Street Journal say the economy is ‘poor’ or ‘not so good’?” Jean-Pierre responded with an all too typical word salad, during which she repeated President Biden’s debunked claim that he feels the public’s pain at the pump because he was raised at a time when the price of gasoline rose precipitously. She then insisted that the economy is historically robust:

​

We are in a fundamentally different place compared to when the President took office.… I guess what I’m trying to say, Peter, is that we understand that people are feeling — feeling this. They are feeling the increase of prices, which — with food, in particular, right now, and gas. That is — that is something that we understand. What we’re trying to say, what I’m trying to say to you is that the economy is in a better place than it has been historically.

This claim is utterly preposterous, of course. But that problem didn’t prevent Politico from repeating the party line in a post titled, “The vibe recession.” Its author, Ben White, marvels at the latest consumer sentiment report published by the University of Michigan. This closely watched gauge of consumer views “crashed to a record low 50.2, down from 58.4 in May.” White is a little more honest about inflation than Stewart, but he inevitably wanders off topic to offer irrelevant musings about Covid, gun violence, European wars, and the Jan. 6 riot. He then reaches the following brilliant insight: “The vibes, man, are not groovy.”

The idea here, of course, is to create a narrative whereby an increasingly likely recession will have been caused not by Biden administration blunders and wild Democratic spending but by irrationally anxious consumers. Slate Money posted a podcast over the weekend titled, “Bad Vibes Economics,” in which the participants make this very claim. The host, Felix Salmon, suggested that public angst is driven by inflation but the other participants weren’t having any. Elizabeth Spiers, for example, rejects the possibility that the bad vibes have anything to do with facts. She believes the public is being manipulated by evil Republicans:

They don’t genuinely believe that Biden is responsible for it. It’s just politically expedient for them to suggest that he is. And also they were opposed to the stimulus bill, and they don’t want to see it repeated because, you know, as a matter of policy, they don’t like those kinds of economic remedies. So if they can indict it after the fact as being directly responsible for inflation, it behooves them to do that. They’re not making a good faith argument.

The obvious problem with this claim is that serious criticism of Biden’s $1.9 trillion “stimulus bill” has by no means been limited to Republicans or conservatives. Indeed, at least two former Obama administration officials — Steven Rattner and Lawrence Summers — warned the Biden administration and congressional Democrats that the spending associated with the American Rescue Plan would ignite inflation. Rattner took to the pages of the New York Times before the bill became law and issued these words of caution, “Wasting precious dollars that could be better spent can’t possibly be worth the risk of igniting high inflation again.”

Right Republicans are controlling the Media Narrative ... all those left wing news outlets reporting on price increases
