Joe Biden has committed countless gaffes as President.

Members of his administration seem to be taking their cues from him.

And a White House Bidenomics spokesman crashed and burned in one disastrous interview.

Democrats and their media allies have been trying hard to sell Bidenomics to the American people.

However, Americans aren’t buying it.

Trust in Biden plummets

Polls show that respondents trust Donald Trump on the economy more than Joe Biden by 20 points.

It’s easy to understand why, with inflation still hampering people’s purchasing power.

And Biden’s ability to sell Bidenomics got ten times more difficult after his top economic adviser sat for a disastrous interview.

Jared Bernstein, Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, was interviewed for the documentary Finding the Money, a movie that promotes the kooky Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), and he fumbled on Econ 101 questions.

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

Countries that have experienced hyperinflation found out the hard way that that is not true.

No wonder Bidenomics is a joke

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

Then Bernstein’s brain broke.

He tried to filibuster his way to a coherent answer, then failed. 

Bernstein said, “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.”

Again, Bernstein is the Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers and he is struggling with basic monetary policy.

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.”

Yikes.

CLIP: We hear a lot about the national debt.
But do currency-issuing governments really ‘borrow’ their own currencies?
The answer might surprise you.

Perhaps one problem is that Bernstein has zero training in economics.

He received a Bachelor of Music at the Manhattan School of Music, a Master of Social Work at Hunter College, and a Doctorate in Social Work at Columbia University.

Bernstein somehow parlayed his love of music and social work into a career in economic policy.

He had the correct “progressive” perspective, so he climbed the ranks in Democrat Party politics.

As for the question that stumped Bernstein, the government borrows money for various reasons, one being that it helps maintain worldwide faith in the U.S. dollar.

Reckless spending and going off the gold standard have significantly devalued fiat currency.

If the government were to print enough money to pay off the national debt in one fell swoop, it would have devastating consequences for the economy.

Democrats have turned their fire on the Supreme Court.

They revered the court when they had a liberal majority.

And Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was hit with another ugly smear from one late-night host.

Leftists use a common tactic to gain power.

They criticize someone or something until they control it or destroy it.

The Supreme Court currently has a conservative tilt, so it has come under constant attack from the Left.

Democrats suddenly hate the Supreme Court

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said that Joe Biden should pack the Supreme Court, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said that Democrats should disregard court ruling altogether.

Constant hit pieces have come out against conservative justices, plus Hollywood is getting in on the act.

Showtime produced the docuseries Deadlocked to portray the current court as having gone rogue.

And late-night comedian John Oliver offered Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, the main target of the Left’s ire, $1 million to “get the f*** off the Supreme Court.”

Hacky comedian admiration society

Oliver appeared on Seth Meyers’ unwatchable late night and doubled down on his slander of Thomas.

Meyers said, “There is something that has not happened yet that you threw out into the universe. You basically offered Clarence Thomas a million dollars a year. . .if he resigned from the Supreme Court.”

Oliver replied, “I did do that. I did, yeah. Yeah. Easy.”

“Easy,” Meyers repeated.

Oliver continued, “Easy. So easy to feel that way when you didn’t make the offer, and I felt exactly like you until the offer went out on TV. I was so excited. ‘Oh, that was fun. That show went really well. Oh [bleep], it’s about to happen now, isn’t it?’”

Meyers added, “Now, I imagine there’s multiple people you just. . .have to talk to about that. People, lawyers. . .Your wife.”

“Definitely,” Oliver said.

Meyers asked, “Were they as applaud-y as this group?”

Oliver answered, “I would say my wife was on the low side of the applaud-y. It was more, ‘What did you just tell me?’ I did say to her, ‘It’s until one of us dies.’ And I think that if he takes the offer—”

“Not you or your wife, you or Clarence Thomas,” Meyers clarified.

Oliver replied, “Yeah. Well, you diagnosed the awkwardness in that room really well. ‘Why would you put that in the offer, you sociopath?’ Until I or Clarence Thomas die. And I did feel like if he took the deal that there were going to be some people so angry with me that they were going to kill me. Therefore, my wife wouldn’t be on the hook for the money. But she didn’t take that as the reassuring statement that I hoped. ‘Oh, I won’t be around for that. Don’t worry. It’s fine.’”

Meyers then asked, “What was the window of time you gave him?”

Oliver said, “It was—we gave him 30 days. Honestly, I’d open it up again. . .As long as he gets out before the—before they’re doing the June decisions.”

“Yeah,” Meyers said.

Oliver added, “I would be willing to open discussions again.”

Sadly, this is what passes for late-night comedy these days.

No network is more Trump-deranged than MSNBC.

The hosts spend all day spinning dark tales of Donald Trump becoming a dictator for life.

But Joe Scarborough made one statement on MSNBC that came back to bite him.

Democrat-controlled media outlets cannot keep their story straight.

Their narrative jumps around so much that it is almost impossible to follow.

And Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough contradicted himself regarding Donald Trump’s base of support.

Scarborough mocking Republicans

Scarborough said during a panel discussion, “You know, Jen [Palmieri], there’s a stereotype of the Trump voter that the media does. Oh, it’s—people are stumbling drunk out of their trailer park and, you know, shooting raccoons, or something like that. No! It’s bankers. It’s lawyers. It’s people with advanced degrees. . .Which is, it’s, it’s, the elites make this possible.”

However, Scarborough has constantly thumbed his nose at Trump supporters and denounced them as yokels.

Scarborough exaggerated a southern accent to mock House Oversight Committee Chairman Jim Comer (R-KY) and said, “We ain’t got nuthin’ but a squirrel fryer and a hound dog.”

He also said, “Comer and his gang are running for the hills. In their coon hats, holding a squirrel fryer in their left hand and a shotgun in the right!”

Scarborough also referred to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) as “Jesus’s man in Congress,” then mocked Johnson by saying, “All you got to do is look at the Bible. That’s what I do.”

He also slammed pro-life politicians as “old, fat, white men in Mississippi.”

Scarborough, who laughably called himself a “conservative” recently, has lost all credibility with regard to fear-mongering about Trump.

He used to invite Trump onto his show during 2016 and joked about being his running mate.

Scarborough continued, “They read that Donald Trump says that there’s going to be mass deportation. He’s going to force prosecutors to arrest political enemies. He’s going to execute generals that don’t follow his commands. He’s able to use SEAL Team Six to execute political opponents. And he says you can’t arrest me for that.”

Boogeyman campfire stories

This is flat-out irresponsible journalism.

First, Trump should mass-deport illegal aliens, but most members of Congress don’t have the stomach to do it.

The press blowback would be like nothing ever seen before, even worse than the “kids in cages” fake controversy.

The idea that Trump would execute generals is ridiculous.

High-ranking members of the military bragged about lying to him about troop deployments.

But suddenly he’s going to kill the ranks in Stalinist fashion?

Scarborough added, “You can go down the list. He’s going to be a dictator from day one. He’s going to terminate the Constitution. On and on, they’ve heard all of this. They heard what he said to Time magazine a couple of days ago. It is a dark, autocratic vision of America. And these people, these educated people with advanced degrees, are the ones saying, yeah, I’ll support Donald Trump again. Thinking, oh, you know what? Maybe my investments will go, or maybe he won’t tax me 3%. Not understanding that this is not just a threat to democracy, but this is a threat to capitalism.”

Nobody outside of the most hardcore MSNBC and CNN watchers believes any of that nonsense.

But the Democrats and their media allies have nothing else, so they have chosen to dial up the fear-mongering to 11.
