CNN is parroting one talking point to pump up the failures of Bidenomics

Published

Joe Biden’s handling of the economy could sink him.

Polls show that voters trust Donald Trump on that key issue by 20 points.

But CNN is parroting one talking point to pump up Bidenomics.

Joe Biden oversaw the worst inflation since 1982 during his second year in office, and his “solution” to the problem was even more government spending.

Unsurprisingly, Biden’s comically named Inflation Reduction Act had the opposite effect.

Blame the businesses

In an attempt to sell Bidenomics to the American people, Biden and his surrogates have trotted out the ridiculous argument that prices have gone up because corporations are price-gouging and hoarding profits.

That is not true; prices are up because there are more dollars in circulation chasing fewer goods and services.

However, CNN was eager to push the narrative that businesses could simply lower prices if they wanted to.

CNN reported that “[i]n a game of chicken between stores and shoppers, it’s the stores that appear to be yielding first, by dropping prices on thousands of products. . .A slew of retailers in recent weeks have announced price cuts as they strive to pull consumers into stores and entice them to spend money on things like new clothes, decorative items for the home and arts and crafts or hobby kits.”

The Federal Reserve has gradually raised interest rates in order to cool inflation, but that will not be a quick fix after historically low interest rates for over a decade.

In the early 1980s, Fed Chair Paul Volcker raised interest rates as high as 20%, which is unfathomable today.

If companies lower prices, they have to defray costs in other ways, which means laying off workers, cutting hours, or reducing benefits.

Despite the subtle nod to Bidenomics, CNN had no choice but to report that the price cuts “are categories considered to be discretionary purchases, meaning things that are nice to have but maybe aren’t everyday necessities in the same vein as groceries and medicine. Shoppers have pulled back for a year now as costs have risen 20% to 30% higher than they were three years ago and as incomes failed to keep up. . .”

So prices are still up where it hurts the average American consumer the most.

Bad policy

While wages have increased, they have not kept up with the rate of inflation.

Biden and the Democrats are trying to defy the laws of economics with limitless reckless spending that ends up causing the inflation they’re supposedly trying to control in the first place to skyrocket.

Unsurprisingly, they failed miserably.

That is why they’re resorting to Democrat-controlled outlets putting a shine on their propaganda.

But based on the polls, the Bidenomics messaging is not working.

Americans know the truth when they go into the grocery store and walk out with three small plastic bags worth of food that cost them $75.

The View was fighting mad at the Democrat-controlled media for not doing one thing

Nerves are setting in for the Democrats regarding the 2024 election.

Joe Biden’s re-election is going to be more difficult than they thought.

And The View was fighting mad at the Democrat-controlled media for not doing one thing.

The women of The View have spent the past eight years trashing Donald Trump on a daily basis.

They are not alone.

The Democrat Media Complex has slandered Trump and his associates 24/7 since 2016.

And it’s still not enough to take him down.

Media panicking

CNN anchor Fareed Zakaria painted a gloomy picture of Joe Biden’s re-election odds that frustrated the co-hosts of The View.

Zakaria said on his show, “The [poll result] that troubles me the most is on the question of who was the more competent [President]. Joe Biden led Donald Trump by nine points in 2020. But Trump now leads by 16 points in January 2024. That 25-point shift could be a reflection of people’s sense that the President’s age is affecting his capacity to govern. And there’s very little that Joe Biden can do now to change that perception.”

That set off Sara Haines, who wanted the press to do even more to boost Joe Biden in the polls, as left-leaning outlets have not been doing that.

Haines said, “I would say when [people] say, ‘the Biden campaign has to get more active,’ I actually blame the media slightly. We talked last week a lot about how I don’t think people are able to watch this Trump trial 24/7, like all the time. It’s a still shot. It’s a picture of a door. It’s all this stuff.”

The View and other outlets put a spotlight on Trump’s legal cases, but now it’s backfiring because the cases are so weak.

Haines continued, “Now, we’re talking about we’re in a campaign. We should be hearing more. We say, why don’t we hear from the Biden administration? I don’t leave that all on the Biden administration’s door. The media needs to cover things.”

More abortion talk

So it’s the media’s job to make Biden a better candidate.

Haines added, “For example, abortion is a winning issue for Democrats. Women’s reproductive health. Vice President Harris did an event last week. I couldn’t find any coverage on it. And that’s a Democrat’s winning stance.”

Voters have already made up their minds about abortion, and Trump already said he believes it is a state issue.

If Haines thinks that fear-mongering about abortion for the next six months is a winning strategy, she could be in store for a rude awakening.

Haines also said, “I also think that there was an asylum regulation decided on with the border. Everyone has agreed the border’s a problem. Didn’t see any coverage on that because we’re busy watching the Donald Trump door not opening.”

Democrats don’t want to talk about the border because they refuse to do anything about it.

The “asylum regulation” has next to nothing to do with the record-high numbers of illegal aliens coming into the country.

Biden could simply enforce the immigration laws on the books.

Instead, he’s chosen to chastise Senate Republicans for not giving him the store in a horrendous border bill.

Haines and the women of The View cannot embellish Biden’s record enough to hide the truth from voters.

The Washington Post busted for doing Biden’s bidding by misleading Americans on this key issue

Published

The corporate-controlled media believe you are stupid. 

In fact, they’re counting on you being stupid in order for Democrats to win elections this November. 

And The Washington Post is gaslighting voters on this key issue just as campaign season begins to heat up. 

Illegal immigration could determine the next President of the United States 

Poll after poll indicates economic issues are the number one thing on voters’ minds heading into the 2024 general election. 

And right behind the economic concerns are border security and illegal immigration as top issues. 

Democrats and their allies in Big Media understand what a liability President Joe Biden’s record-breaking illegal border crossings are to his re-election hopes. 

And now that campaign season is about to gear up into overdrive, the public-relations arm of the Democrat Party is circling the wagons. 

They believe they can convince voters to disbelieve their “lying eyes” and buy the narrative of President Biden as a border hawk. 

And billionaire leftist Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post is leading the charge. 

WAPO circles the wagons for Biden 

Catherine Rampell is a writer for The Post

Recently, she penned an opinion piece titled, “GOP talking points are out of date. Border crossings have plummeted.”

“Psst. Have you heard? Illegal border crossings are down. Way down,” Rampell wrote. From the last four months of 2023 to the first four months of 2024, illegal crossings at the U.S. southwestern border fell a whopping 40 percent, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.”

Technically speaking, her numbers are correct. 

However, she’s not offering perspective or context. 

First of all, December 2023 was the worst month for illegal border crossings in American history. 

A slight reduction from record highs leaves a massive problem still in place.

While the March border encounter numbers are indeed down 40% from the worst month in American history – it’s only down 16% year-over-year.  

Second of all, why is Rampell comparing Biden’s numbers to other Biden numbers? 

The April number for 2024 is not yet available, but this past March, there were nearly 140,000 encounters with illegal aliens at the U.S. southern border – not counting getaways. 

Compare that to Trump’s final April in office when there were only 16,000 of the same such encounters. 

That means illegal immigration under President Biden is up nearly 100 times more than it was under then-President Trump. 

Do you think Rampell dived that deep in her WAPO op-ed? 

Of course not. 

Instead, her propaganda piece was little more than a campaign ad for Biden-Harris 24. 

“The standard GOP (and media) talking points about the ‘border crisis’ are woefully out of date,” Rampell dubiously claimed. “Second: Anyone who cares about border security should support a presidential candidate with (ahem) good diplomatic relationships.” 

Rampell’s rotten record of reporting

This sort of campaigning masquerading as “journalism” is nothing new for Rampell. 

Just a couple of weeks before this gaslighting effort on behalf of the Biden campaign, she wrote an op-ed praising illegal immigration and making the outrageous claim that “grandma can never retire” without it. 

In the past month, she’s also authored two separate articles suggesting Trump would increase the record-high inflation under President Biden. 

Additionally, despite the GOP actually saving the lives of the unborn, according to one Rampell hit piece, she blames Republicans for Americans’ lowering birth rates. 

About three weeks prior to that op-ed, Rampell wrote another claiming the GOP Senators literally want children who are born to “suffer.” 

And that’s just the record for one month’s worth of one writer for the so-called “news agency.”

Jen Psaki called one shocking audible on her book to rescue Biden’s campaign

Published

Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki is pulling triple duty on behalf of Joe Biden.

She has defended him as comms director, MSNBC host, and now author.

And Psaki called one shocking audible on her book to rescue Biden’s campaign.

Joe Biden’s approval numbers never recovered after his disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan that left 13 U.S. service members dead.

Biden’s military inexplicably abandoned the strategic outpost of Bagram Airfield and instead chose to evacuate the country at the smaller and less secure Kabul International Airport.

Checking his watch

When the fallen service members were honored during a ceremony, Biden got caught looking at his watch multiple times.

 

But former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki did not truthfully recount that story.

Axios reported that “Psaki claims in her new book that President Biden never looked at his watch during the ceremony for soldiers killed during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 — contradicting news photos and firsthand accounts of Gold Star families.”

Psaki wrote that there had been “misinformation” orchestrated to make “[Biden] appear insensitive,” and claimed that “the president looked at his watch only after the ceremony had ended. Moments later, he and the First Lady headed toward their car.”

Psaki’s account was far different from the Gold Star families who were there.

Mark Schmitz, the father of Marine Lance Cpl. Jared Schmitz, testified before Congress in August of 2023 that “while I stood there on the tarmac watching you check your watch over and over again, all I wanted to do was shout out, ‘It’s two f***ing thirty, asshole.’”

The day after the ceremony, Shana Chappell, the mother of Marine Lance Cpl. Kareem Nikoui wrote on Facebook: “I watched you disrespect us all 5 different times by checking your watch!!! What the f*** was so important that you had to keep looking at your watch????”

Psaki changing the book

In light of getting called out, Psaki was forced to edit the book.

She said in a statement that the “detail in a few lines of the book about the exact number of times he looked at his watch will be removed in future reprints and the ebook.”

Not only did Biden constantly check his watch, he fell back on the off-putting habit of invoking his dead son Beau when speaking with family members who lost their sons and daughters.

While describing the sentiments of departed Marine Rylee McCollums’s family, The Washington Post reported that Biden “brought up his son, Beau, according to her account, describing his son’s military service and subsequent death from cancer. It struck the family as scripted and shallow, a conversation that lasted only a couple of minutes in ‘total disregard to the loss of our Marine,’ [sister] Roice said.”

Democrats and their media allies have gone out of their way to portray Biden as a kind grandfather figure, but his actions suggest something different.

For years, Biden refused to acknowledge one of his grandchildren; Hunter Biden did not want the daughter he had out of wedlock to carry the Biden name.
