13 Nobel Economists Promised Biden Would
Cut Inflation, Now They’re Saying Trump
Will Ignite It

Original Article

We have our hand on the Bible swearing we are not making this story up. A gang of 16 Nobel prize-winning economists signed a letter yesterday endorsing Joe Biden for president because: “There is rightly a worry that Donald Trump will reignite inflation with his fiscally irresponsible budgets.” But then our colleague, Scott Bessent, noticed something strange and ironic about the signatories: 13 of these economists signed a highly-publicized open letter three years ago assuring Americans that Biden’s “Build Back Better” spending spree would “ease longer-term inflationary pressures.”

Thomas Carlyle called economics "the dismal science." "Abysmal" might be the better word given its farcical effectiveness in improving the human condition. I'm surprised it ever rose to the level of there being a Nobel Prize given to its practitioners...by what criteria are they judged, I have to wonder...

Hey, more experts just like Fauci telling us knuckle draggers what is best for us. A Nobel price winner is about as reliable as our intelligent experts at seeing Russian disinformation.

I wonder how many of these supposed expert economists ever made any money by the implementation of their ideas. Not selling books or by appearing as a hired “expert” on the news. But actually put their theories into practice and made money. Give you a hint: none.

Hmmm I seem to remember a group of "experts" telling us Trump would crash the economy in his first administration. How'd that work out? Same experts told us Biden would do great. How did that work out? Nobel Prize winners? If an ex-President can get a Nobel prize for exactly nothing than what's the big deal of the Noble Prize. Nada, zip, bupkis, nein, nyet, zero.

Lets just "Look at the record" shall we...Trump was RIGHT then, Biden was wrong. Trump told the truth, Biden lied, These same "economists" were WRONG then, 300% wrong, Trump was right...they are by Logic, likely wrong now. ALL of the economic FACTS show Trump did the correct things, and the economy not just in the USA but globally reacted positively, those MOST helped were the most marginal and the blue collar, entrepreneurial, middle classes. Biden(and these economists) did the wrong things and the economy, not just in the USA but globally reacted negatively, impacting the marginal, entrepreneurial, blue collar, middle classes and seniors most heavily. In three years inflation is doubled(down from tripled), interest rates are doubled, illegal migrants have doubled(not in rates which have skyrocketed, but in total numbers currently inside the nation...there are twice as many in 3years than those accumulated from three decades)...housing shortages have gone to 8 MILLION! Coincidentally a similar number to that of illegals allowed in.Hence housing costs have skyrocketed FOR AMERICAN CITIZENS, while foreigners are getting subsidized to the tune of double or more the former rent rates.Energy prices have doubled, insurance costs have more than doubled, crime rates have doubled, in many ways death rates have doubled, business closings have doubled, bank failures have doubled. Commercial space vacancies have doubled, students failing to meet basic educational metrics have doubled. The record from Trump years vs Biden years show clearly that Trump is TWICE as good as Biden, and that Biden is TWICE as bad as Trump.

In the wake of President Joe Biden’s not-so-surprising decision to drop out of the 2024 presidential race, two big questions still loom: Did the big media intentionally underplay his growing mental and physical issues? And should Biden be allowed to finish out his term? A majority of voters answer with a resounding “yes” to the first, and half say “yes” to the second, according to July’s I&I/TIPP Poll. The national online I&I/TIPP Poll queried 1,389 registered voters from June 26-28, a period that included Biden’s disastrous debate performance, but just before a chorus of both the media and establishment Democrats began to call for him to resign.

On YouTube, there is a four-minute video that is nothing but Vice President Kamala Harris repeating this empty phrase: “What can be, unburdened by what has been.” But no matter how many times she utters this idiotic mantra, Harris will, in fact, be heavily burdened by the disaster that has been the Biden administration. Burdened by her own dismal record as vice president. And burdened by the fact that she is so uniquely unqualified to be leader of the free world. To say Harris is an empty pantsuit is an insult to empty pantsuits. As we put it in an editorial a year ago:

As expected, Joe Biden has dropped his reelection campaign. In doing so, he endorsed his vice president, Kamala Harris, as his replacement as the Democratic Party’s nominee. It might seem impossible, but she would be an even worse president than he was. Start with the fact that Harris is an unserious person and a classic midwit, defined by the Urban Dictionary as: ​​Someone who is around average intelligence but is so opinionated and full of themselves that they think they’re some kind of genius. Midwits have a shallow understanding

Now that the Republicans have wrapped up their hugely successful convention and as calls for President Joe Biden to step down are accelerating, the question that must be asked is: Can the Democratic Party survive? Donald Trump made one key decision this week that could seal the party’s fate. First, some history. When Ronald Reagan won the Republican Party’s nomination in 1980, Democrats were in a similar bind as they are today. The party was in disarray, the nation fed up with clueless leaders, and voters were ready for the bold conservative leadership Reagan promised. But Reagan made one fatal mistake.

The campaign by Democrats to force President Joe Biden to drop out waned a bit after the assassination attempt on Donald Trump. But it quickly resumed as Biden stumbled and bumbled through the week. Just yesterday, news broke that Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer urged Biden to step aside, as did Calif. Rep. Adam Schiff. While there’s not a single person on any list of possible replacements who wouldn’t continue the decline of the U.S. under Biden, one stands out as more frightening than the rest: Kamala Harris. There’s an easy explanation why Harris is one of the most unpopular vice presidents.

While many disagree, a majority of Americans believe that illegal immigrant voting will be “common” around the nation in the 2024 presidential election and will likely affect the vote’s outcome, according to the most recent I&I/TIPP Poll. The 1,244 Americans polled for the national online I&I/TIPP survey of voter opinion were asked: “How common do you think illegal immigrant voting will be in the November presidential elections?” Of those responding, 52% said that they believed voting by those who immigrated to the U.S. illegally would be “common,” while just 38% thought such voting would either be “rare” (23%) or “none at all” (15%). Of the remaining, 11% said they “not sure.”t

The 39-year-old first-term senator is a solid, smart pick who will not only bring youth, energy and vigor to the ticket, but also a wealth of hard life experience, highly unusual for someone so young. Trump’s announcement gave the bare bones of why he selected Vance over the many others who vied to be his running mate: After lengthy deliberation and thought, and considering the tremendous talents of many others, I have decided that the person best suited to assume the position of Vice
Another Biden ‘Achievement’: Interest
Payments Now Second Largest Federal Spending Category

If you want to know just how dire the federal government’s fiscal situation is, consider the fact that interest on the national debt for the first time now tops every other spending category but one, according to the latest monthly report from the Treasury. This “achievement” has been brought to you by President Joe Biden. According to the report, the federal government spent $682 billion in “net interest” payments so far this fiscal year (which ends Sept. 30). That’s more than all the money spent on “health” ($670 billion), national defense ($644 billion), and income security — which includes payments to the poor ($508 billion).

In it, he blames Trump for the bullet that came within millimeters of killing him and the others that killed and injured attendees at Saturday’s rally, while completely and totally ignoring the viciousness and violence perpetrated by the left — not just against Trump, but against all Republicans, including the guy he used to work for, George W.

Immediately in the wake of the announcement at the Republican National Convention that JD Vance is Donald Trump’s pick for running mate, the leftist media predictably launched a fear-mongering campaign to demonize the young populist. The politics of personal destruction – it’s their go-to strategy, rather than addressing the issues. And one of the first scary red flags they warned about is the influence on the future Vice President of Lord of the Rings author JRR Tolkien. On Tuesday, MSNBC mainstay propagandist Rachel Maddow suggested that Vance and “his mentor,” venture capitalist Peter Thiel, were both inspired by “alt-right” and “Aryan” messaging in Tolkien’s vastly popular fantasy epic.
