Biden gaslights about Trump's 'fiscal
mismanagement,' claims he's a deficit
cutter, and vows more big government spending
Posted By: PageTurner, 3/29/2022 8:41:20 AM
Does Joe Biden know what he's talking about? A few stale weeks after being being rebuffed by Congress and many Democrat economists over his $3.5 trillion "build back better" spendathon, he's tweeting up a storm about being a deficit cutter, while vowing even more big government spending. (Snip for tweets) This does not compute. And for good measure, he blamed Trump, gaslighting voters into thinking he's really Mr. Fiscal Discipline: (Snip for tweet) Hearing this spendathon artist blame President Trump for "fiscal management" is something just a little beyond the pot calling the kettle black. Yes, Trump spent a lot. But he also cut government.

Some things don't make sense.
That brings us to some testimony from the FBI's assistant director for cybersecurity who told Congress's Rep. Matt Gaetz that he had no idea where Hunter Biden's laptop, entrusted to FBI custody, actually is:
According to the Post Millennial:
"Who has it?" Gaetz asked.
"I don’t know who has it," said [FBI Assistant Director for the Cyber Division Bryan] Vorndran.
"What now you're telling me right here is that as the Assistant Director of FBI Cyber, you don't know where this is, after it was turned over to you three years ago?" Gaetz said.
"Yes, sir. That's an accurate statement," Vorndran responded.

Hollywood and its Academy Awards ceremonies were once was amazingly elegant.
Now, with the Oscars showing us Will Smith walking up on stage to punch announcer Chris Rock for making fun of his wife's bald head, they've become kind of wretched. The Oscars this year showed just how far the movie idols and their Hollywood juggernaut have fallen.
It wasn't just a matter of toddler manners on display, although that certainly was prominent this year.
There actually was a lot of ugliness.
Sean Penn is having a tantrum.
Tonight's the Oscars night and he wants Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky to take time out from his busy schedule to address Hollywood's Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences at its big red-carpet shindig, and the Academy won't let him.
He's going to hold his breath now, or well...
According to the Washington Post:
American filmmaker Sean Penn called for a boycott of the Oscars ceremony on Sunday if Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky isn’t on the program, saying he would smelt his own awards in public if that turns out to be the case.

We've heard a lot about how elites conspired (and bragged) about manipulating the 2020 election in their favor, claiming they had 'saved democracy.' We've learned about how Zuckerbucks ensured that private resources were spent under color of authority to 'get out the vote' but only for some districts, while elected officials who had that job were sidelined. We've learned that Twitter and much of the rest of the social media juggernaut conspired (Snip) But the great cheating machine didn't stopped at those outrages. When lawmakers attempted to correct some of the issues that contributed to the fraud through legislating better laws, they came for the kids.
Joe Biden went to Europe to make speeches during Europe's most serious crisis since World War II, but was mostly focused on his own re-election.
That meant some pre-emptive shots at President Trump, who "lost" the election to him, based on various manipulations and cheatings, while Biden's polling approval has gone downhill ever since.
But Joe was upbeat:
According to CNBC:
President Joe Biden said Thursday that he would consider himself “very fortunate” if former President Donald Trump runs against him for a second time in the 2024 election for the White House.
Russia not taking Gen. Milley's phone calls

Gen. Mark Milley, the Pentagon swamp creature who brought us the Afghanistan pullout and turned the U.S. military focus to "white rage," doesn't seem to be able to get Russia's generals, now bombing Ukraine, to return his phone calls.
According to the Washington Post:
Repeated attempts by the United States' top defense and military leaders to speak with their Russian counterparts have been rejected by Moscow for the last month, leaving the world's two largest nuclear powers in the dark about explanations for military movements and raising fears of a major miscalculation or battlefield accident.
Democrats don't seem to ever learn Economics 101, do they?
That's obvious enough in their various bone-headed schemes to beat soaring gas prices at the pump by throwing new money at the problem.
Fox11 has the story:
One proposal comes from Reps. Mike Thompson of California, John Larson of Connecticut, and Lauren Underwood of Illinois.
The congressional lawmakers propose the Gas Rebate Act of 2022 where Americans would get an energy rebate of $100 per month (and $100 for each dependent) for the rest of 2022 in any month where the national average gas prices exceed $4.00 per gallon.
An out-of-touch academic, writing a column for Bloomberg Opinion, demonstrated just how out of touch the country's elites are as inflation hits every sector of the country.
Instead of hide the mess, or better yet, just not print it, Bloomberg Opinion tweeted its existence out with a handy tip sheet: (Snip for tweet) Which was about as amateur-hour as it gets on the age-old topic of cutting back as inflation eats into worker earnings.
The "advice" also included a recommendation to cut chemotherapy for one's dog as if that would solve the inflation problem for a loving pet owner.

Bernie plots against Kamala
11 replies
Kamala Harris, one step from the presidency, is an unmitigated disaster on all fronts.
She's failed at everything she's tried. She's famous for being the boss from hell, unable to keep staff. She's very, very, very unpopular with voters.
So surprise, surprise, the political vultures are circling.
The latest is a name we haven't seen in awhile, none other than socialist Bernie Sanders:
According to Politico: Top figures from Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign are privately encouraging Ro Khanna to run for president in 2024 if Joe Biden doesn’t seek a second term, giving the California congressman an important stamp of approval from progressives as the party looks to its post-Biden future.
With the Squad, the greenie lobby, the teachers' unions, and the open borders industrial complex calling the shots in the Democratic Party these days, it's obviously no picnic to be a moderate member of the Democrats in Congress.
Which is why 31 of them are leaving, most fully aware that a red wave is coming. But perhaps more importantly albeit less well known is that many of them angry at how the crazed Democrats have treated them.
Here's the latest exit, described by the Daily Caller:
Retiring Florida Rep. Stephanie Murphy called out Democratic leadership for repeatedly siding with the left flank of the party against moderate members during a Friday interview.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, the disgraced, discredited, washed-up actor who wrecked California as governor, came close to redeeming himself a little, with his beautiful nine-minute message to ordinary Russian trying to tell them the truth about the Ukraine war. (Snip for tweet) It was an amazing piece -- heartfelt, authentic, persuasive, un-spinny, and kind in tone. (Snip)
There was just one problem though: The nasty short passage in Schwarzenegger's message beginning at the 3:09-minute point comparing Vladimir Putin's scorched earth war on Ukraine with what he called the Jan. 6 "insurrection."

Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, said Tuesday in a CNN interview that if former President Donald Trump won the 2024 election, the NATO alliance would be significantly damaged. Romney, the 2012 GOP presidential nominee, said NATO members would wonder whether they could continue to count on the United States.
“If he were to come back as the U.S. president, I think it would represent a pretty dramatic departure for the world, and they would rethink whether they can count on the United States to lead NATO to lead other nations as they push back against China and against Russia,” Romney said

The anti-parasitic drug ivermectin, which has surged in popularity as an alternative treatment for Covid-19 despite a lack of strong research to back it up, showed no sign of alleviating the disease, according to results of a large clinical trial published on Wednesday. The study, which compared more than 1,300 people infected with the coronavirus in Brazil who received either ivermectin or a placebo, effectively ruled out the drug as a treatment for Covid, the study’s authors said. “There’s really no sign of any benefit,”

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has warned that Democrats will be in for a world of trouble in the 2022 midterms if they do not play to the far-left progressive base. Speaking to New York Magazine, the far-left congresswoman criticized President Joe Biden for his failure to pass the Build Back Better agenda, blaming it on his nostalgia for a bygone political era when deals could be reached over a round of bourbon and cigars.
“I have the utmost respect and confidence in the president, but I just felt like we called two different plays on this one,” said AOC.
