More Russian disinformation @Os Trigonum 21 Facts That Joe Biden Doesn't Want You To Know https://www.zerohedge.com/personal-finance/21-facts-joe-biden-doesnt-want-you-know It takes a lot of gumption to go on television and repeatedly lie to more than 300 million Americans. I honestly don’t know how Joe Biden does it. I suppose that after you have been lying for your entire career, lying comes as naturally as breathing does. Sadly, there are still millions of Americans that are falling for his lies after all this time. Biden would like for us all to believe that the economy is “booming”, that the southern border is under control, that our communities are safe, and that Ukraine is going to win their war against Russia. Our entire society is literally crumbling all around us, and Biden and his minions have brought us to the brink of global war. I am entirely convinced that he has been the worst president in U.S. history, and that is really saying something. There are a few numbers that Biden can cherry pick to try to make himself look good, but here are 21 facts that Joe Biden doesn’t want you to know… 1. It takes the typical U.S. household $1,069 more a month just to purchase the same goods and services that it did three years ago. 2. Two-thirds of the respondents to one recent survey indicated that they had to take action to deal with rising financial stress within the past year. Those actions included “cutting back on spending, skipping monthly bills, or taking an additional job”. 3. Home insurance rates have risen by 38 percent since 2019. 4. Home rental prices are up 30 percent since Joe Biden entered the White House. 5. A whopping 61 percent of U.S. renters cannot afford the rent on a median-priced apartment in the United States right now. 6. Gasoline prices are up 46 percent since Joe Biden entered the White House. 7. The average rate on a 30 year fixed mortgage is up 148 percent since Joe Biden entered the White House. 8. According to Zillow, the monthly mortgage payment on a typical home in this country has almost doubled during the past four years. 9. One recent poll discovered that 44 percent of retired Americans are considering going back to work because the cost of living has become so oppressive. 10. New home sales fell 11.3 percent last month. 11. Pending home sales are dropping at the fastest rate ever recorded. 12. According to the House Budget Committee, there have been more than 8 million migrant encounters nationwide while Joe Biden has been in the White House. We truly are in the midst of an immigration crisis that is far greater than anything that we have ever witnessed before. 13. Thanks to our unprecedented immigration crisis, the homeless population in the city of Chicago actually tripled in just one year. 14. Murder rates are up by double digit percentages in many major U.S. cities this year. 15. Continuing jobless claims just shot up to the highest level in almost three years. 16. The number of job openings in the United States has dropped to the lowest level in more than 3 years. 17. Rite Aid just announced that it will be closing 27 more stores. That is on top of more than 500 stores that it has already decided to shut down. 18. Walgreens plans to close approximately one-fourth of its 8,600 U.S. stores. If the economy really was “booming”, why would they be doing this? 19. Today, 20 percent of the entire population of the state of California is living in poverty. 20. According to one recent survey, 46 percent of Americans don’t even have 500 dollars saved up. 21. So far, the U.S. has spent a total of approximately 175 billion dollars on the war in Ukraine, and the Russians are still winning.
He is old, but he is also competent and has a competent staff around him.....unlike Trump who is old and incompetent, and has a racist staff around him. Will be voting anyone but Trump, and I suspect most of America agrees. DD
Looks like we have another inflection point where partisans will either reject the candidate (economy not good enough under this guy) or galvinize and rally around their emperor much like the Access Hollywood tipping point (amid multiple rape and sexual harassment accusations) where voters juxtaposed Trump's obvious character doubts onto Model Daughter Ivanka. It's always been a popularity contest. A side venture woukd be seeing how the media worms out of it's culpability by amplifying "objective" voices over "concerns" of his age. If they can't gaslight the obvious anymore, then regain some cred over the obvious.
None of it really matters. We have been training 8 years for this election. And unfortunately, the next 4 years will be full of continued training, getting ready for 2028. Maybe after that we can get back to some normalcy? But for now, we know neither clown has as much control of the grand circus as some want you to believe. Put your money with your mouth and try to dodge the land mines. We have a super weak president. Nobody is afraid of him at all. Even JPowell laughs at a rate cut. Trump made a valid point about the Afghanistan withdraw...why wasn't anyone fired? Since nobody is afraid of Biden, his Cabinet has massive control, largely being whipped by Jill. This Cabinet is done. We basically have a lame duck presidency at this point, which is why Zelensky is now crying for a peace deal. So my grander point is that in 6 months, we are going to have massive change. And either way, for the better as we need a leader, regardless if its Trump, Newsom or someone else, its important that the president is taking a much stronger role and not relying on his cabinet to tell him/her what to do day in and day out. Except Harris. She is just incompetent. I feel sorry for whatever Democrat would get saddled with this bumbling fool in an election. Except Hillary. They are perfect for each other. If Sharon and Karen could have twin babies together, they would be called Hillary and Kamala.
I'm slowly beginning to think that the rich and elite are so disconnected from Main Street that they'll praise themselves for failing upwards and call it a day. In a simpler media era, Reagan got away with being half dead while Nancy was doing some heavy lifting. My take is that there is no massive change until the economy sours. We've been throwing good money for bad in order to avoid a downturn in the credit cycle. Trump's Great and Bootyful Economy came from unchecked spending and high income skewing tax cuts. No one cares that the yield curve inverted months before COVID hit. At some point, regular people will realize these massive money injections start flowing from the up and mostly stay at the top, "higher wages" notwithstanding. The inflation and CoL increases are the knockdown effects of a blunt and inefficient policy designed to favor investors who can leverage other people's checking and savings accounts. What is the multiplier rate for banks who received trillions in deposits from government checks? These **** economists who downplay Main Street for financial press and IB patronage should be the first to go. Journos would be last if only to document their own disgrace for posterity.
I don't expect the polls to change much after the debate, but in a close race, that is more than enough.
CBS News has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation Majority of voters say Biden does not have mental health to serve as president after debate with Trump https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4748413-biden-mental-health-second-term-poll/ excerpt: Over 70 percent of voters believe President Biden does not have the mental health to serve a second term as president, a notable increase from previous polls after a poor debate performance last week. The CBS News poll published Sunday found that 72 percent of respondents don’t believe Biden’s health is adequate for president, while just 27 percent believe he is. That’s a noted increase from a poll last month, when 65 percent of respondents said Biden isn’t healthy enough, to 35 percent saying he is. Biden’s first debate performance raised alarms with some Democrats and supporters. The president, at times, showed difficulty stringing ideas together and overall appeared tired. A rising number of Democratic voters, including some unnamed lawmakers, have called on Biden to step aside and allow a different candidate to take the party’s nomination. The poll also found that just 28 percent of voters believe Biden should be running for a second term at all, another significant drop from a February poll’s 37 percent figure. Among Democrats, only 54 percent said Biden should be running again, a drop from 64 percent in Feburary. Of those who said Biden should not be running again, 86 percent of respondents cited Biden’s age. more at the link
I don't like this. These people are up to something, the media has lied to us for 3 years and now all of a sudden they have become unbiased and a beacon of truth? Somethings up....
We are witnessing a regime change attempt by the Administrative State (media, Intel agencies, Dept of State, Dept of Education, etc). They know that Biden is on a pathway to lose this race, and they know that under Trump, they'll be massively reformed to greater reflect the views of the voting public. These collective interests are fighting for survival. They'll do anything in the name of self-preservation -- even if it means dragging down the country and its institutions... which they've done A LOT under Biden.
