Even Biden Doesn’t Want To Talk About
‘Bidenomics’ Anymore: We Have The Receipts
Posted By: RockyTCB, 3/4/2024 4:16:43 AM
After President Joe Biden embraced the term “Bidenomics,” he and his White House staff couldn’t get enough of it. But either Biden’s forgotten all about it, or the administration realized that it was doing no good to brag about something the public didn’t believe. Either way, the term is vanishing from use. It was in a speech in Chicago on June 28, 2023, that Biden decided to bear-hug the term. “I didn’t come up with the name. I really didn’t,” he said. “I didn’t realize the economists in the Wall Street Journal did. But I’m happy to call it ‘Bidenomics.’

Are DEI And ESG Finally Going MIA?

The efforts by government, captured institutions and radical activists to manipulate and menace can feel like an endless loop. But is it possible we’ve turned a corner, or at least nearing one that we can take? Recent events suggest so.
The flagship institution of higher education in the red state of Florida is shutting down its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) office. The University of Florida is ridding itself of the malign chief diversity officer position, sacking the program’s useless staff, and is also “halting any contracts involving the subject,” the Associated Press reports.
What a welcome development,

Despite farcical claims about the wonderful success of Bidenomics, Americans don’t buy the media and White House spin any longer, if they ever did. They know the economy’s going backward and that inflation remains a dire threat to our nation’s standard of living and its global economic leadership.
For those of a certain age, there’s a whiff of 1970s-style stagflation in the air. It was a period of high inflation, insufficient growth, and, to borrow a phrase, near-universal cultural and economic malaise. Everyone felt as if they were falling behind.
After a 40-year stretch of low inflation, solid growth and rising real incomes, the economy has returned to its dire ’70s-version.

This headline says much more than the Politico editors intended: “Federal agencies scramble to finish Biden’s rules — and protect his legacy from Trump.”
The story is about how, if regulators can get rules finalized by April, it won’t be so easy for Donald Trump and congressional Republicans to overturn them, as they did with the regulations Barack Obama imposed just before leaving office.
Federal law – the 1996 Congressional Review Act, to be specific – lets Congress vote to overturn regulations within "60 congressional session days" of when they are finalized. After that, it becomes nearly impossible to get rid of them.
The Supreme Court told President Joe Biden that he didn’t have the authority to forgive student loan debt. But he did anyway, bragging that the Court “didn’t stop me.” So why do we even have a legislative branch and a high court if the president is going to make law as if he were a king?
It’s Biden’s party, and its activist media, that has been carping for years about losing “our democracy.” Yet when a Democratic president bypasses the checks and balances that are the backbone of our republic, the three co-equal branches framework of government that is intended to guard against descending into a dictatorship, they celebrate
As further revelations of apparent corruption by President Joe Biden emerge from a congressional investigation, the mainstream media have largely responded with a yawn. But not voters. They overwhelmingly agree that Biden should either resign or be impeached immediately if corruption charges are proved true, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll reveals.
Given the ongoing nature of both Congress’ investigation and its revelations, I&I/TIPP in recent months has asked those who answer the poll to respond to the following: “A congressional committee claims it has strong evidence that President Biden and his family took millions of dollars in bribes from foreign nations.”
We’ve now reached peak Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Democrats are actually making plans to prevent Donald Trump from taking office even if he legitimately wins the election. In other words, they are plotting an insurrection to keep the man whom they claim is an insurrectionist out of the White House. Logic, common sense, the future of the country, all be damned.
How do we know this is what they are scheming? Because, as President Joe Biden’s poll numbers continue to drop, his mental and physical health rapidly deteriorate, and options to replace him on the ballot shrink, Democrats are openly talking about it.
We’ve Reached The Tipping With Trump

Was the $355 million fine against Donald Trump, for a “crime” that even the judge issuing the ruling admitted hurt no one, a bridge too far?
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul seems to think so, which is why she rushed out to say that other people doing business in New York have nothing to fear: “Law-abiding and rule-following New Yorkers who are businesspeople have nothing to worry about because they’re very different than Donald Trump and his behavior.”
What she should have said is: “if they are different from Donald Trump and his political views.”
Because nothing about this case, or the multitude of other unprecedented legal attacks
Earlier this week a couple of propagandists, also identified as scholars, released a ranking of U.S. presidents. It has about as much credibility as the Clinton Russia hoax. But it does reinforce the gaslighting narrative that so many of our institutions are engaged in.
The list, part of a Presidential Greatness Project compiled by a pair of university professors, ranks Joe Biden as the 14th best president. Ever. We’re talking the Joe Biden who is in office today. There has been no other president from an earlier era named Joe Biden to be confused with.
The academic malpractice doesn’t end there.
Well, let’s see, Ms. Willis. You’re on the witness stand, before a judge considering a motion to disqualify you from further pursuing your Trump-ed up case against Donald Trump

…with whom you’ve had an intimate relationship and who has paid thousands of dollars for vacations you’ve taken to exotic locations

…who insisted that he did so counsel you because “it’s a black thing”
Release The Biden Transcripts Now

In an effort to dismiss the claim that he couldn’t remember the year his son Beau died, President Joe Biden claimed he was simply angered because he was asked about it. Turns out, Biden lied.
“Frankly, when I was asked the question, I thought to myself it wasn’t any of their damn business,” Biden said at a hurriedly arranged press conference early in February.
Immediately, the media sprang into action attacking Special Counsel Robert Hur for bringing up Biden’s son. “Beyond the pale,” they said. “A setup from the start.” “What does that have to do with the retention of

Former President Barack Obama has said he’s “all in” for President Joe Biden’s re-election effort. But a question nagging at many Democrats is what role his popular spouse might play.
Democrats nervously looking ahead to November say they want to see Michelle Obama playing a bigger role in the campaign. Some even whisper about the possibility that she might replace a politically hobbled incumbent on the 2024 ticket this summer — making her a fantasy candidate for members of both parties, albeit for different reasons.
Outdoor outfitter The North Face is offering customers a 20% discount if they complete and pass a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) course.
The company launched the course, titled “Allyship in the Outdoors,” to teach customers about racial disparities in outdoor activities. It is roughly an hour long and is intended for people who work in the outdoor industry. Those who take the course from North America are ineligible for the discount, however.
President Joe Biden on Tuesday will launch a new task force to take on "unfair and illegal" corporate pricing, which Biden sees as a major reason why consumers are not yet feeling the impact of cooling inflation rates and a strong economy.
The task force will be jointly led by the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice, two agencies at the forefront of the Biden administration's aggressive regulatory agenda over the past three years. "We're excited to be co-chairing the president's new Strike Force on Unfair and Illegal Pricing, which builds on the FTC's far-reaching work to promote competition and tackle unlawful business practices that are inflating costs
Appearing alongside Vice President Kamala Harris in Selma, Alabama, on Sunday, Garland called voter ID laws and other voter integrity laws “discriminatory, burdensome, and unnecessary.” The two were speaking at an event commemorating the fifty-ninth anniversary of the Bloody Sunday attacks on civil rights marchers in Selma
Garland recalled the history of voting rights for black Americans since the end of slavery, which he said has “never been steady” into the present day charging that voter ID laws have made it harder “for millions of eligible voters to vote and to elect the representatives of their choice.”
The Supreme Court didn’t dig into the weeds of the entire insurrection debate, but one obvious issue with the various efforts to remove Trump from the ballot in various states was that insurrection had been left entirely to Democrat state officials to define. That kind of nonsense however won’t fly in an actual legislative process.
Now that the Supreme Court blocked state officials from announcing that Trump can’t be on the ballot because he’s an “insurrectionist”, House members are now trying to play the same game.
Congress will have to try and act,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, told Axios.

The Department of Veteran Affairs has rescinded a memo banning the iconic J-V Day Times Square kiss photo from its buildings.
VA Secretary Denis McDonough was forced to deny the photo's ban after a leaked memo signed by undersecretary RimaAnn O. Nelson began making the rounds online.
'Let me be clear: This image is not banned from VA facilities - and we will keep it in VA facilities,' McDonough said on Twitter.
When pressed by DailyMail.com, the VA admitted the memo was sent out late last month but had since been rescinded.
The memo instructed employees to 'promptly remove' the image and replace it with one deemed less offensive.
Michelle Obama has ruled herself out as a presidential candidate, putting to bed speculation that she would jump in at the last minute to give Democrats an alternative to aging Joe Biden.
The former first lady maintains a star power within Democratic politics, despite largely removing herself from the political scene in recent years.
'As former First Lady Michelle Obama has expressed several times over the years, she will not be running for president,' said Crystal Carson, director of communications for her office, told NBC News.
Drag queen RuPaul Andre Charles was The View’s special guest on Tuesday’s show to promote his new book and TV show. Amid their conversation, ABC co-host Sara Haines broached the topic of public outrage and backlash to drag shows at libraries and other events for kids. According to her, “Everyone belongs at a drag show.” Charles also proclaimed that everyone, including you dear reader, was wearing drag every day; possibly right now!

MSNBC national affairs analyst John Heilemann said on Tuesday’s “Deadline” that he believed former President Donald Trump voters have a “lack of energy.”
Heilemann said, “Doing the first three early state primaries which I love, historically love, have done them all, love doing that, love. love. It was so depressing doing these and for a million reasons not just because Trump was going to win and what it said about the Republican Party or that it was a foregone conclusion, but just the lack of energy out in the world. The kind of flaccid acquiescence of everybody out there. You hear about it on the Democratic side.
President Joe Biden on Tuesday said he was 'stunned' to find out that the Cookie Monster has been a victim of 'shrinkflation' and slammed chip companies for charging the same price for bags when you get 'a helluva lot fewer'.
The 81-year-old president sided with the Sesame Street character in his fury at businesses, especially snack companies, giving Americans less for what they spend.
His remarks were a response to the blue furry muppet posting on his X: 'Me hate shrinkflation! Me cookies are getting smaller'.
Nikki Haley joined FOX and Friends on Super Tuesday morning to discuss her slim chances of picking up a state today on the biggest primary election day of the season.
During her interview Nikki grew increasingly uncomfortable with the questioning from host Ainsley Earhart on her flip-flopping on supporting President Trump if he wins the primary which is almost certain at this point.
Nikki snapped back at Ms. Ainsley.
Ainsley Earhardt: So just set the record straight. Is it no to no labels? Is it yes to support the nominee?
