Top Biden Economist Proves He’s Just as Incompetent as You’d Expect

/

It should come as no surprise that an economist in the Biden administration knows nothing about economics – and Biden’s 31st Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, Jared Bernstein, has reminded us that’s undoubtedly the case.

Bernstein appeared in a new documentary called “Finding the Money,” which was made by proponents of Modern Monetary Theory, a crank theory that argues the government can endlessly print money without consequences.

“The U.S. government can’t go bankrupt, because we can print our own money,” Bernstein says.

The interviewer then asks, “Like you said, they print the dollar, so why does the government even borrow?”

Bernstein then seemed uncertain in his response. “Again, some of this stuff gets.. some of the language and concepts are just confusing. The government definitely prints money, and it definitely lends that money by selling bonds. Is that what they do? They sell bonds, yeah, they sell bonds. Right? Since they sell bonds, and people buy the bonds, and lend them the money.”

He continued; “A lot of times, at least to my ear with MMT, the language and the concepts can be kind of unnecessarily confusing but there is no question that the government prints money and then it uses that money to um, uh … I guess I’m just, I can’t really, I don’t get it, I don’t know what they’re talking about. . . . It’s like, the government clearly prints money, it does it all the time, and it clearly borrows, otherwise you wouldn’t be having this debt and deficit conversation. So I don’t think there’s anything confusing there.”

The responses to his comment ranged from mockery…. to mockery.

Sadly, Bernstein probably is the most qualified person Biden could’ve found.

Columbia Student Thinks School Should Provide Aid to Protesters, Receives Reality Check Instead

/

One Columbia University student received a harsh dose of reality recently via a reporter covering the situation at Hamilton Hall.

Student protesters occupied Hamilton Hall on the campus of Columbia University in New York City on Tuesday. PhD-candidate and faculty member Johannah King-Slutzky, spoke to reporters and called for the school to provide food and water to the occupiers, even going so far as to call it “humanitarian aid”.

She had no idea that a reporter with actual common sense was in the crowd. The unnamed reporter pushed back on her false narrative, pointing out that the students chose occupied the building and can leave whenever they want.

“It seems like you’re saying, ‘we want to be revolutionaries, we want to take over this building, now would you please bring us some food’.”

Her statements were quickly fact-checked by X users in the form of Community Notes.

Naturally, reaction to her comments was critical.

Ms. King-Slutzky’s X profile lists her PhD subject as “Romantic Lit + Energy”. This would seem to jibe with the subject of her dissertation: “fantasies of limitless energy in the transatlantic Romantic imagination from 1760-1860”. What that means, I have no idea.

Eager to learn more about limitless energy in transatlantic Romantic imagination, I clicked on her faculty bio on the Columbia University website…aaand it’s been taken down. Sad mascot face.

And what’s with the guy standing behind her? Nice crop-top jean jacket. His look might not go over so well in Gaza.

Race-obsessed Sports “Journalist” Upset About Caitlin Clark’s Shoe Deal Because She’s White

/

There are few sure things in this world. Death. Taxes. And freezing cold takes from sports writer Mike Freeman.

Freeman, self-described “Sports Race and Inequality Editor” for USA Today, thinks that skin color should be a factor in awarding shoe deals for WNBA players.

I’ll save you the trouble of reading his column. Freeman admits that Clark, the WNBA #1 overall draft pick, deserves a shoe deal.

He argues that fellow WNBA star, 2018 #1 overall pick A’ja Wilson also deserves a shoe deal. One that she will likely get but as yet has not signed.

To justify his position, Freeman points out that the only active shoe deals in the WNBA belong to Breanna Stewart, Elena Delle Donne, and Sabrina Ionescu.

“You may notice a pattern there.” No, Mike. The average American is not obsessed with race and therefore does not see a pattern here.

Freeman goes on to detail how from 1995-2011, only black WNBA players had shoe deals, starting with Sheryl Swoops signing with Nike.

The fact that for nearly half of the league’s history, no white woman had a shoe deal seems to be okay with Mr. Freeman. After all, it’s apparently okay to be racist against whites.

Finally, the cherry on the top of this hard-hitting piece of journalism, Freeman calls his readers “fools” if they believe the white women got their shoe deals because of their talent on the court. He believes it is because they are “more marketable” than black players.

Reaction was typical on X. People weren’t having it.

Republicans Favored In All Demographics Except One, New Poll Shows

/

A new poll from Edison Research Network shows that Americans tend to favor Republicans in every demographic except one.

When they broke down over 18,000 respondents by gender and marital status, nearly 70% of unmarried women preferred Democrats over Republicans.

In every other category, married men, married women, and unmarried men, Republicans were the favorite.

What does this information tell us about ourselves?

It tells us that liberal, utopian, socialist ideology might sound good when you’re young. But when you “grow up” and have a family to provide for, you quickly see the light.

It also tells us that the woke, green-haired, perpetually-offended Karens are the minority and do not represent the sentiment of most Americans.

X users were quick to confirm the results of the poll.

Based on your experience, is this poll accurate?

Australian Leftist PM Doesn’t Like Memes of Himself – And He’s Getting the Government Involved

/

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese apparently isn’t a fan of memes, especially when they are poking fun at him.

The Labor Party Leader recently said that his government has begun to remove social media posts that contain his face superimposed on other images. 

He claims that “social media platforms have a responsibility to make sure that misinformation isn’t got out there.”

Needless to say, the Anthony Albanese memes were flowing on X after that statement.

Even X Owner and self-proclaimed “Chief Troll Officer” Elon Musk weighed in on the topic of Australian censorship. His comment was in response to Australia censoring X posts concerning a stabbing at a church in Sydney earlier this month.

“Our concern is that if ANY country is allowed to censor content for ALL countries, which is what the Australian ‘eSafety Commissar’ is demanding, then what is to stop any country from controlling the entire Internet? We have already censored the content in question for Australia, pending legal appeal, and it is stored only on servers in the USA.”

Has Australia’s government gone too far? Should they be able to censor online content? The Constitution of Australia does not specifically protect the freedom of speech or expression.

Stephen A. Smith Folds to Woke Backlash, Walks Back Positive Trump Comments

/

Stephen A. Smith, sports commentator for ESPN, is known for “telling it like it is” in his sports analysis. He has recently begun commenting on the politics of America as well.

On April 18th, Smith went on The Sean Hannity Show on Fox News, where he called the hush money trail of Donald Trump a democrat strategy to try and keep Trump out of office.

What got him in hot water with the woke crowd, however, was when he agreed with comments Donald Trump had made previously stating that the black community should identify with him based on how he is mistreated by the justice system in America. Smith said, quote, “He wasn’t lying. He was telling the truth.”

However, Smith quickly walked back his statements in support of Trump following backlash from the African-American community.

“A lot of folks in Black America seem pretty pissed at me right now. From friends and loved ones to colleagues, contemporaries, and dare I say, even the NAACP itself.”

But what’s worse is that he didn’t even apologize for what he said, which was clearly supportive of Trump’s comments. (remember “He isn’t lying?)

Instead, he apologized for how his words were interpreted and misconstrued. What a lame cop-out.

His apology was not received very warmly in conservative circles.

The way I see it, Smith wants to keep his job at ESPN. He probably got a phone call from his boss saying either apologize for these comments or find a new job. This pseudo-apology was his way of saving face. Pretty lame, if you ask me.

Woke Actor Tweets “Joe Biden is the Best President We’ve Ever Had.” Chaos Ensues

/

Woke actor Mark Hamill, best known as Luke Skywalker in the original Star Wars series (has he been in anything else?), took his wokeness to a new level when he tweeted his support for Joe Biden earlier this week.

“Joe Biden is the best president we’ve ever had.”

Wow. Just wow.

If you’re a lifelong Democrat and you vote “blue no matter who”, I can understand that. I don’t agree with it, but I can understand it.

Hell, if you despise Donald Trump so much that you plan to vote “against” him as opposed to “for” Biden, I (almost) understand that too.

But you can’t say with a straight face that Joe Biden is even a good president, let alone the best we’ve ever had.

Mr. Hamill didn’t elaborate on what exactly President Biden has done that makes him history’s best president.

Here are a few things that I can think of off the top of my head that disqualify him from the “Best Presidents” debate:

  • Millions of illegal immigrants flooding into our country through an unsecure border
  • Hundreds of trillions of taxpayer dollars sent overseas to fun foreign wars
  • Rampant inflation
  • Serious mental decline
  • “10% for the Big Guy”

The video below has countless more examples of how Biden and his allies are destroying the country:

Needless to say, X users had a field day with Hamill’s tweet.

Now I remember what Mark Hamill has been up to recently. Wasn’t he in Game of Thrones?

The Woke Eats Their Own: Far-Left Loonies Attack Alec Baldwin in Far-Left NYC

/

What could possibly make someone want to buy Alec Baldwin a beer out of sympathy? If you guessed a far left activist, then you would be correct! 

A woke political activist (If she can even be called an activist) lovingly known as “Crackhead Barney” confronted Baldwin yesterday about his perceived inaction on Palestine, as well as the current trial for the shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. It went about as well as you might expect, she only could repeat far left talking points until getting mad she wasn’t getting what she wanted. 

The activist launches into a tirade begging him “Just say free Palestine one time.” Shortly before being punched by Baldwin she says “Fuck Israel, Fuck Zionism. Please just say it one time!”. 

She was lucky he wasn’t armed. 

If things seemed like they couldn’t get any weirder, well we just have to look at her previous social media history to find out.

Does this count as her in white face?

What might leave you even more speechless is people coming to her defense on X/Twitter.

If this is what the left views as questioning, maybe someone should start confronting Ilhan Omar and Al-Jazeera in the same manner.

Biden Says He Gets Flipped Off by Children Regularly

The kids are alright after all.

While on a campaign stop, Biden, who is the least popular president in modern history, recalled how he’s constantly being flipped off by children everywhere he goes.

“I’ve never thought I’d see a time when I’m going through a — a neighborhood or a rural town that’s in the west and see big signs that s- — have a Trump sign in the middle that says “F Biden” and having a little kid standing with his middle finger — seven years old, eight years old,” Biden said.

“Well, I promise, it happens all the time.  It’s not who we are,” added the man who won the vote of the radical rioters who burned down U.S. cities in 2020.

Give his comments a listen – and try not to laugh:

Kennedy Family Snubs RFK Jr.

/

Thanksgiving dinner at the Kennedy Compound might be a little more contentious than usual this year.

Last week, 15 members of the storied Kennedy family publicly endorsed Joe Biden for President, snubbing their relation, independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. While there’s speculation as to what prompted them to come forward, common sense suggests that they fear RFK Jr. is going to siphon off a larger share of the vote from Biden than Donald Trump.

Most notable in the group was Kerry Kennedy, Robert’s sister. Oddly enough, she never mentioned her brother in her speech, instead targeting her attack at Donald Trump.

The announcement didn’t seem to move the needle much, however.

This comes as no real surprise to those who are paying attention. Instead, it just confirms that establishment Democrats are terrified of Kennedy, Jr taking votes away from Joe Biden in what is expected to be a very close presidential election.

Kennedy, Jr, an environmental attorney by trade, is quite liberal in many of his beliefs. He veered from the Democrat playbook in 2020, however, when he dared to raise questions about the COVID-19 vaccine.

Although it’s a long shot, just imagine the crow his family will have to eat should Kennedy, Jr pull off a victory in November. Walking into Thanksgiving dinner could look something like this…
