Yep: https://mises.org/power-market/maui-burns-biden-demands-another-24-billionfor-ukraine Quote I am not a big fan of Federal Government disaster relief. Too much of the time the money never gets to those who need it most, and too often Washington’s armies of disaster “experts” are more interested in pushing people around than helping them. Nevertheless, it’s hard to look at recent footage of the devastation in Maui and then hear President Biden tell Congress that he needs another $24 billion for Ukraine. How can this Administration continue to justify tens of billions of dollars for this losing war that is not in our interest while the rest of the United States disintegrates? Biden’s new $24 billion request comes on top of well over $120 billion already spent to fight the US proxy war on Russia in Ukraine. Heritage Foundation budget expert Richard Stern has done the math and determined that Biden’s spending on the Ukraine war thus far will cost each and every American household $900. How many Americans would rather have those $900 dollars back in their pocket rather than in the pockets of Lockheed-Martin, Raytheon, and Ukraine’s oligarchs? Recent surveys have shown that a majority of Americans could not afford to cover a sudden $1,000 emergency. Will Americans connect the dots and realize that the reason they can’t find that $1,000 for an emergency is because the neocons have already sent it to Ukraine? Ukraine has long been known as among the most corrupt countries on earth and not long ago investigative journalist Seymore Hersh wrote that Ukrainian president Vladimir Zelensky has embezzled at least $400 million in aid from the American people. Corruption scandals continue to break in Ukraine. Just last week Zelensky fired the heads of all local draft boards for corruption. Some press reports suggest that sales of luxury cars in Ukraine have broken all previous records. I wonder why. No wonder the tide of US public opinion is turning against further involvement in the war. Recently CNN found that among all Americans, more than 55 percent are opposed to continued aid to Ukraine. Among Republicans the number opposing more aid to Ukraine rises to three-out-of-four. That is why we are finally starting to see more Republican Members raising concerns. I’d like to think they have seen the light that an aggressive and interventionist foreign policy is not in America’s interest, but most likely they are worried about losing elections. Whatever their motivation, this turning tide should be welcomed. Yet the Biden Administration persists in backing Ukraine even as the US mainstream media is increasingly pointing out the obvious: Ukraine is not winning and cannot win, and continuing to pour money into a losing cause will just result in bankruptcy at home and more dead Ukrainians overseas. Last week Newsweek published an article asking, “Does Ukraine Have Kompromat on Joe Biden?” In the article, Northeastern University Professor Max Abrahms wonders out loud whether Biden’s continued support for Ukraine might be related to compromising information held in Kiev about the many Biden family shady business ventures in Ukraine and the region. It is certainly worth considering. Meanwhile, the residents of Maui that survived the recent horrific fire will take little comfort knowing that the Biden Administration is more interested in sending their money to Ukraine than in helping them recover.

swordfish Posted August 18 Author Share Posted August 18 2 big variables in the upcoming election......Will Trump be able to run? Will Biden be able to run? https://www.wsj.com/articles/is-joe-biden-electable-democrats-election-2024-president-campaign-candidate-gop-indictment-trump-31e02e62?mod=WTRN_pos2&cx_testId=3&cx_testVariant=cx_171&cx_artPos=1 This week—like last week, last month and much of last year—featured a full news cycle devoted to Donald Trump. There’s a method to the critics’ obsession, yet it could backfire. They ignore Joe Biden’s weaknesses at their own peril. The Georgia indictments of Mr. Trump and associates brought yet more focus on Mr. Trump’s mounting hurdles to re-election. A total of 91 felony counts, many to be heard by a hostile jury. Trials set to commence during the GOP primary. A polarizing candidate who is a nonstarter with key general-election voting blocs. There’s a near gleefulness in media stories describing the Republicans’ pickle: They’re barreling toward a nominee with too much freight to win the White House. Yet doesn’t that also describe the other party? The left is banking it doesn’t—at least not in comparison with Mr. Trump. But an our-guy-isn’t-quite-as-detestable-as-your-guy strategy is the definition of risky. Look at Mr. Biden in isolation. Democrats are by every measure putting forward their weakest presidential nominee in decades, one who makes even the hapless Jimmy Carter of 1980 look competent. No, Mr. Biden isn’t facing four score and 11 criminal charges. But he is more than four score years old, and it’s increasingly difficult to tiptoe around the president’s disturbing decline. The long vacations, the early nights, the confusion, the mumbling, the bizarre statements. A June poll found that 71% of likely voters, including nearly half of Democrats, think Mr. Biden is too old to be president. The pace at which he’s getting worse has also been striking, raising the question of a Nominee Biden’s performance a year from now. God save the queen, man. Even in 2020, the electorate understood that a vote for Mr. Biden meant a higher than usual chance that his running mate would become president. The need for a reassuring successor is even more important now, but he’s instead dragging the anchor known as Kamala Harris. A June NBC News poll reported she had a 32% approval rating and a net rating of minus-17, “the lowest for any vice president in the poll’s history.” Mr. Trump is averaging above 40%. Then there’s Hunter. The plea deal collapse is its own sordid story, though the smell will only grow. Republicans will continue to produce evidence of Joe’s efforts to aid his son’s global influence peddling, hammering home the former vice president’s unsavory use of that position. The media will do its best to ignore any revelations, though that will prove tougher if and when Republicans turn their probe into an impeachment inquiry, with prime-time hearings. Don’t forget the economy, or crime, or foreign-policy messes. The White House’s “Bidenomics” pitch boils down to one statistic: low unemployment. Biden policies also produced inflation, unmanageable energy prices, and the heightened threat of a recession. A Fox poll from late May found 83% of voters say the economy is only in fair or poor shape. That’s 14 points higher than in April 2021, a year into the pandemic. Democrats and their media cheerleaders are blinding themselves to these liabilities—playing a game of See No Biden, Hear No Biden. They are working instead to keep Mr. Trump in the legal and media spotlight—the better to get him nominated. This is a repeat of the 2022 strategy, in which they labored to boost eccentric far-right candidates in GOP primaries, with the anticipation they’d later lose to Democrats. That panned out for them in the midterms, but in a 50/50 country, and against an extremely weak incumbent, even Mr. Trump has playable odds. That Mr. Trump—with all his history, all his indictments, all the unrelenting media beratement—is still leading Mr. Biden in some head-to-head matchups ought to have Democrats working on plan B, C and D through Z. That’s assuming Mr. Trump is the nominee—another uncertain wager. On the surface, the GOP primary looks like a repeat of 2016, with a crowd of opponents splitting the field and crowning Mr. Trump victor. But there are already big differences. The number of candidates at next week’s first debate will be half what it was eight years ago. GOP leaders and donors will press far more heavily on noncontenders to get out early. Mr. Trump, whose underlying numbers still show some real weakness, could find himself in hand-to-hand combat. In this political environment, the unlikely scenarios are entirely possible. Mr. Biden versus a Republican opponent who is young, steady, and with a new plan? The race might be over. Democrats have a field of viable replacements but continue to bet all on their lamest horse. If next year finds the country electing a GOP president, the liberal establishment will have itself to blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swordfish Posted August 23 Author Share Posted August 23 The Biden Crime family at it's best, led by the witless wonder himself....... https://nypost.com/2023/08/22/joe-bidens-ukraine-defense-falls-apart/ President Barack Obama famously warned fellow Democrats in 2020, “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f–k things up.” The warning was ignored by many as an almost brotherly reference to Biden’s habit of making false claims (like being arrested when seeking to see Nelson Mandela) or his continual verbal gaffes. Biden has always had a certain penchant for bragging, whether it’s claiming a dead man told him he reached a million miles on Amtrak, being a cross-country trucker or fighting off some “bad dude” named Corn Pop. But one of those bravado moments may have revealed more than vanity. Ironically, it’s the one controversial story that appears entirely true. In a 2018 interview at the Council on Foreign Relations, Biden bragged that he unilaterally withheld a billion dollars in US aid from the Ukrainians to force them to fire Prosecutor-General Viktor Shokin. The Ukrainians balked, but Biden gave them an ultimatum: “I looked at them and said, ‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money.’ Well, son of a bitch. He got fired.”I The response from the Washington elite was rapturous, though the story was not only impolitic but embarrassing for an ally. The Ukrainians were Joe’s new Corn Pop, and he recounted how he stared them down in a “High Noon” diplomatic moment. A State Department memo is shedding disturbing light on that account and shredding aspects of Biden’s justification for the action. Indeed, the ultimatum may have been the quid in a quid pro quo agreement as part of the Biden influence-peddling scandal. The premise of the story is that Biden took this extraordinary stand because there was little hope for the anti-corruption efforts in Ukraine if Shokin remained prosecutor. That is now questionable. The Oct. 1, 2015, memo summarizes the recommendation of the Interagency Policy Committee that was handling the anti-corruption efforts in Ukraine: “Ukraine has made sufficient progress on its reform agenda to justify a third guarantee.” One senior official even complimented Shokin on his progress in fighting corruption. So Biden was told to deliver on the federal aid but elected to unilaterally demand that Shokin be fired. When the firing occurred, Shokin’s office was investigating Burisma Holdings, an energy firm that paid Hunter Biden a huge amount of money. The State Department had identified it as a corrupt company engaged in bribery. Recent testimony from Devon Archer, a business associate of Hunter Biden, revealed that Burisma executives made the removal of Shokin a top priority and raised it with Hunter. He described how the need to neutralize Shokin was raised with Hunter and how “a call to Washington” was made in response. President Biden has insisted, “I did nothing wrong. I carried out the policy of the United States government in rooting out corruption in Ukraine. And that’s what we should be focusing on.” Indeed, that will now be the focus, including the close correlation of the money and demands going to Hunter and the actions of his father. There is evidence the State Department was alarmed by Hunter’s work and its impact on anti-corruption efforts. While Joe was portraying his work as fighting corruption, some officials were warning that the Bidens could be part of the problem, not the solution, in Ukraine. Leading diplomat George Kent wrote then-Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, “The real issue to my mind was that someone in Washington needed to engage VP Biden quietly and say that his son Hunter’s presence on the Burisma board undercut the anti-corruption message the VP and we were advancing in Ukraine [because] Ukrainians heard one message from us and then saw another set of behavior with the family association with a known corrupt figure whose company was known for not playing by the rules.” As part of the first impeachment of President Donald Trump, Democrats largely dismissed earlier accounts of these misgivings and portrayed Shokin as a thoroughly corrupt prosecutor perpetuating corruption. Biden’s Ukrainian Corn Pop story was celebrated as a gutsy moment of leadership. During the impeachment, Kent said Biden’s demand was consistent with US policy. Yet we now know the State Department had found progress was being made on corruption and Shokin was praised in private correspondence. The demand for the replacement of the equivalent of the attorney general in another country is an extraordinary move. We give massive amounts of money to countries with rampant corruption and authoritarian records. But Biden decided Shokin had to go and used public money to make that happen. The memo also highlights the flaws in the Trump impeachment. When I testified before the House Judiciary Committee at the only impeachment hearing, I told the committee it should not depart from history and proceed to an impeachment without fact witnesses on the grounds for impeachment. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and others refused. It now seems there was material evidence that would have been used at the impeachment trial. Trump was alleging there was a conflict of interest with the Bidens, and the evidence could have challenged Biden’s account and established his son’s interest in the Shokin firing. I still do not believe Trump should have raised the matter in that call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. This evidence may not have made a difference to some senators, but it demonstrates why impeachments should proceed after fact hearings. Instead, in the second impeachment, the Democrats went one better. They used what I called a “snap impeachment” without even a hearing on the impeachment standards and articles. The House could now have little choice but to hold the very hearings the Democrats blocked during the earlier impeachment — with a different president under constitutional scrutiny.

swordfish Posted August 31 Author Share Posted August 31 Yeah, the former VP had nothing to do with Hunter's business........Yeppurs....Influence peddling? Nawwww....... https://nypost.com/2023/08/30/1000-emails-exchanged-between-hunter-bidens-firm-and-vp-office/ Hunter Biden’s firm, Joe’s VP office exchanged more than 1,000 emails: records Hunter Biden’s Rosemont Seneca Partners investment firm traded more than 1,000 emails with Joe Biden’s office during his time as vice president — and hundreds remain hidden because of executive privilege asserted by the White House, documents released by the National Archives show. The 861 emails that reference Rosemont Seneca were sent or received by the Office of the Vice President between January 2011 and December 2013, according to America First Legal, which obtained the messages from the National Archives and Records Administration and released them on Wednesday. The White House refused to allow the release of 200 emails referencing Hunter Biden’s firm, citing executive privilege. “Release would disclose confidential advice between the President and his advisors, or between such advisors,” NARA informed America First Legal in response to its records request. Hunter Biden and his business associates frequently used their direct line of communications with the Office of the Vice President to leverage access to the Obama White House, the trove of emails show. White House guest lists, seating assignments, and biographies of guests for various official events, including the 2012 United Kingdom State Dinner, the 2013 Turkey State Luncheon and the 2014 France State Dinner, were shared with Rosemont Seneca employees. One email contains an invitation forwarded to the White House for then-Vice President Joe Biden to attend an event at the UCLA Burkle Center for International Relations, and another invites then-second lady Jill Biden to participate in a World Food Program campaign. Invitations from the White House for several events that Hunter Biden presumably attended or had requested tickets for guests for are also shown in NARA’s document dump.

Since the pandemic started the industry has been "balls to the walls" building, consolidating, restructuring to the point of the highest shipping year ever in 2022. SF's opinion was that in 2021, there was nothing else for people to do with the shut-downs in place. People weren't spending their disposable income on airfare, hotels, restaurants, etc. but they still wanted the ability to travel. It didn't hurt that Holcomb designated the RV industry as "essential" either. I haven’t watched cable news since April of 20, but I did catch most of Biden’s speech in Vietnam…..wow.

I don’t know about you… but I’m going to bed…. SF is truly surprised that Biden is still around. I predicted originally that he was a placeholder since the previous Democrat President (Obama) didn't even endorse him due to the obvious corruption the former VP had as baggage and expected him to be gone shortly after the 2 year mark. Now it's just sad. The likes of having the President as geriatric as he is is appalling and he is truly getting worse. The fact that they cut him off mid-sentence was very telling to me - He was really ready for bed. I would (kinda - given the current congressional roster age) be in favor of an upper age limitation. SF isn't ready to make a solid prediction but I am leaning heavily towards Biden getting replaced before the end of the year if the Democrats really want a viable candidate for 2024.

swordfish Posted September 14 Author Share Posted September 14 Bidenomics......Anyone else thinking Biden could potentially go down in history behind Carter on the economy? https://www.wsj.com/articles/census-data-income-inflation-joe-biden-economy-social-welfare-spending-3897dbed?mod=hp_opin_pos_3#cxrecs_s You almost have to admire the brass of the Biden White House. The Census Bureau reported Tuesday that Americans are poorer under Bidenomics, and the President quickly changed the subject to blame Republicans for rising child poverty on his watch. As usual, too many in the press corps bought the spin. Mr. Biden is trying to avoid the real story, which is that the Census Bureau says median household income adjusted for inflation fell last year by $1,750 to $74,580. It is down $3,670 from 2019. Households in the fourth income quintile—those making $94,000 to $153,000—lost $4,600 in 2022 and $6,700 since 2019. Middle-class Americans who think they’re losing ground are right. The reason is that inflation has outpaced the earnings growth from work. Real median earnings for full-time workers last year fell $3,620 for men and $2,880 for women despite a tight labor market that had companies paying more to attract and keep workers. The female-to-male earnings gap declined to 16% from 18% in 2019, but mainly because inflation has eroded men’s wages more than women’s. Wages in industries with more female workers such as healthcare and hospitality rose faster than those with more male workers such as manufacturing. But neither men nor women kept pace with the cost of living. By most statistical measures, income inequality also declined last year. Even when excluding capital gains, higher earners saw a bigger drop in real incomes than Americans at the lower end. One reason is the latter group includes many seniors whose Social Security checks are adjusted for inflation. Real incomes at every decile were lower and income inequality was greater than in 2019. Americans in the bottom 10% of earners were 6.3% poorer last year than in 2019 while those in the top 5% saw their incomes decline 4.1%. Inflation invariably punishes lower-income Americans more than the affluent. These numbers don’t take into account most transfer payments that Congress enacted or expanded as part of its $6 trillion in Covid relief. These include $3,200 a year in stimulus payments per adult and $2,500 per child; a $3,600 per child tax credit whether or not you paid any taxes; larger health insurance, earned income and child-care tax credits; and more generous food stamps. These provided temporary income boosts in 2020 and 2021, but at the cost of fueling the historic inflation surge that gutted real incomes. Thus after-tax median real income last year fell $6,220 as some, but not all, Covid transfer payments lapsed. Americans with college degrees last year saw the biggest after-tax real income decline ($9,860), perhaps because they benefited most from the expanded tax credits. Democrats passed their $1.9 trillion Covid bill in March 2021 with the goal of hooking the middle class on bigger government. But the big political surprise is that Americans weren’t thrilled with the handouts. A Hill-HarrisX poll in July 2021 found that 60% of voters, including nearly half of Democrats, thought the child tax credit expansion was too expensive and no longer needed. Yet there Mr. Biden was on Tuesday lashing Republicans in Congress for not extending the expanded the child tax credit. “We cut child poverty by nearly half to record lows for all children in this nation largely by expanding the Child Tax Credit,” he declared. “The rise reported today in child poverty is no accident—it is the result of a deliberate policy choice congressional Republicans made to block help for families with children while advancing massive tax cuts for the wealthiest and largest corporations.” The child poverty rate did jump to 12.4% from 5.2% in 2021, but that is roughly the same as before the pandemic. The expiration of the expanded child credit accounted for about a quarter of the increase in the child poverty rate, though its impact was offset by an increase last year in food stamps, free school lunches and housing subsidies. Most of the increase in child poverty owed to the end of stimulus payments, inflation and higher taxes. Mr. Biden has apparently forgotten that Republicans didn’t control either branch of Congress in 2021 or 2022. West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin blocked an extension of the expanded child tax credit because it was estimated to cost $1.2 trillion over a decade. And which tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations is he talking about? Maybe he’s confused and is referring to the Inflation Reduction Act’s green-energy corporate welfare and subsidies for electric vehicles and solar panels that largely benefit the affluent. The annual census data tell the real story of Bidenomics: A gusher of unprecedented and unnecessary social-welfare spending helped to produce the highest inflation in 40 years that has made Americans poorer. The last thing Congress should do is heed Mr. Biden’s demand to do it all again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
