Saudi Arabia Humiliates Joe Biden With Major Oil Announcement

Joe Biden’s recent trip to the Middle East made many headlines, and none of them were particularly good. The president first landed in Israel where he promptly insulted Holocaust victims. At several other points during the week, he looked physically and mentally frail, appearing aloof and out of it. Then there was Biden’s stopover in Saudi Arabia, which led to a now-infamous fist bump that set teeth gnashing because the left hate the Saudis.

But the topline from the president’s tour was simple: It accomplished nothing. While the White House tried to hint that a deal for increased production had been reached, there was never any evidence offered. The reason why became clear on Wednesday after the Saudis stabbed Biden directly in the front as part of a big announcement from OPEC Plus.

Saudi Arabia is one of the original founders of OPEC, and they wield heavy influence over the OPEC and OPEC Plus nations. The entire point of Biden’s trip to the kingdom was to secure Saudi support for a large increase in production to help offset the global oil supply crunch that has driven up prices. Instead of getting a production boost of around half a million barrels a day, the president ended up with just 100,000, a massive reduction compared to the expectation. For context, the United States uses about 21 million barrels of oil a day, making a global increase of 100,000 a day nothing but a rounding error.

The situation gets dimmer, though. Apparently, that “increase” doesn’t even amount to any real increase.

That is what total failure looks like. The President of the United States went to the Middle East to beg a country he had previously tried to make a “pariah” for oil. Why? Because Biden’s own domestic energy policies have been so disastrous. The president then returned with no actual agreement, choosing bluster over substance. Now, the results of that are in, and the Saudis aren’t even pretending to have played along. It’s yet another embarrassment for Biden and the nation.

This is the danger of having the world’s worst foreign policy “expert” in the White House. Biden has famously been wrong on every major geopolitical issue for the last half-century, and you can add his plan to punish the Saudis while elevating Iran to the list. It didn’t have to be this way. Trump left an improving Middle East on the table, with the Arab nations and Israel moving toward a historic peace. All Biden had to do was eat his ice cream, keep the status quo rolling, and reap the benefits for everyone.

He just couldn’t do it, though. Instead, the president stuck his finger in the eye of the Saudis, causing them to cease their long-standing cooperation, harming American consumers along the way. And for what? To pursue some pointless nuclear deal with Iran? This is who Biden is. He’s a man always in search of failure, and he can turn any good into bad.

 

The despicables and haters around here should take a lesson from biden's latest failure.

If you want something from someone it is probably not a good plan to first insult and attack them, then ask for whatever it is you wanted from them.

 

Kay, now that's funny no matter who you are.

 

Biden administration declares monkeypox a public health emergency
Monkeypox has infected an estimated 6,600 Americans.
Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra on Thursday said he was declaring a public health emergency over the monkeypox outbreak.

"In light of evolving circumstances on the ground, I am declaring a public health emergency on #monkeypox," Becerra said in a statement. "We are prepared to take our response to the next level in addressing this virus and we urge every American to take monkeypox seriously."
The monkeypox outbreak has infected more than 6,600 Americans. The emergency declaration frees up federal money and other resources to fight the virus, which may cause fever, body aches, chills, fatigue and pimple-like bumps on many parts of the body. A public health emergency can be extended, similar to what happened during the COVID-19 pandemic.


The White House said it has made more than 1.1 million vaccine doses available and helped boost domestic diagnostic capacity to 80,000 tests per week.
Last week, the World Health Organization called monkeypox a public health emergency, with cases in more than 70 countries. A global emergency is the WHO's highest level of alert, but the designation does not necessarily mean a disease is particularly transmissible or lethal.

California, Illinois and New York have all made declarations in the last week, as have New York City, San Francisco and San Diego County.

The monkeypox virus spreads through prolonged and close skin-to-skin contact as well as sharing bedding, towels and clothing. Health officials have emphasized that the virus can infect anyone, but the people who have gotten sick so far have been primarily men who have sex with men.
Earlier this week, the Biden administration named top officials from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to serve as the White House coordinators to combat the monkeypox outbreak.

 

So, 6,600 people infected with a nonfatal relatively easy to avoid disease, and its a "national emergency" that frees up lots of Federal money.

Wonder who gets it?

 

6600 people in a country of 350 million? This is biden's "national emergency"??? Is it even fatal?

More people will die from UTI infections... Does that constitute a "national emergency"?

Just more desperation and diversion from the failing biden administration.

 

Expensively so.

 

‘Ain’t no recession’: Economists praise ‘huge’ employment numbers – ‘We’re back, baby’

Employers in July hired more than double the number of people experts had predicted, 528,000, after many predicted the number to be just 258,000. Unemployment is now at the lowest level in half a century, at 3.5%.

CNBC calls today’s report from the federal government’s Bureau of Labor Statistics “far better than expected, defying signs that the economic recovery is losing steam.”

That was far from the only good news in Friday’s release.

“Wage growth also surged higher, as average hourly earnings jumped 0.5% for the month and 5.2% from the same time a year ago,” CNBC notes. “Despite downbeat expectations, the July gains were the best since February and well ahead of the 388,000 average job gain over the past four months.

“The bureau noted that private sector payrolls are now higher than the February 2020 level, just before the pandemic declaration,” a massive accomplishment, as economists are noting.

Economist Justin Wolfers, a professor at University of Michigan, New York Times contributor and a Senior Fellow at Brookings sums up today’s news.

“Put that recession talk away, and change the subject. A vibecession ain’t no recession: July payrolls came in at a huge +528k, and unemployment is down to 3.5%. A whap-bop-a-loopa-a-whap-bam-boo!”

Minutes later he added: “Hang on… I just-recalculated the unemployment rate (to extra decimal places), and at 3.46%, THIS IS THE LOWEST UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IN OVER HALF A CENTURY.”

Wolfers, continuing to examine the report, finds even more good news.

The number of people forced to work “part-time for economic reasons, — is also at the lowest rate ever recorded.”

Putting another economic overview on the data, Wolfers explains: “We’re back, baby.”

David Rothkopf, who wears many hats including professor of international relations, political scientist, journalist, CEO, podcast host, author, and member of the Council on Foreign Relations also summed up the news.

“To recap,” he writes. “More jobs created during Biden presidency than the net of the preceding 8 yrs added up. More jobs created during Biden presidency than the last 3 GOP admins added up. More jobs created last month than the net total of the entire Trump presidency. In short: Lotta jobs.”

Economist David Rothschild takes a moment to examine how the negativism of the media is affecting the economy.

“Disconnect between reality of healthy US economy and negative mainstream media narrative is startling: beyond demonstrating a Republican bias in trying to undermine Democrats, it is an actual serious source of harm to the an economy where confidence & expectations matter.”

He adds: “Mainstream Media/Republicans will argue that ‘numbers’ don’t tell real story of how working class (obviously for them they mean white working class) families are hurt by inflation: but reality is jobs are plenty & wage growth is keeping pace w/ inflation.”

Rothschild also preempts any talk of recession.

“Amazing job growth, strong & sustainable wage growth, and slowing inflation: WE ARE NOT IN A RECESSION.”

And economist Danny Blanchflower, an economics professor at Dartmouth, has a word of advice for workers: ask for a raise.

“Workers should definitely not refrain from asking/demanding inflation adjusted pay increases. They can tell the bosses it is their turn to show up.”

This is a breaking news and developing story.

And no doubt Americans are concerned about inflation. Which is why it appears President Biden and the Democrats are on the verge of passing the INFLATION REDUCTION ACT.

 

OH GOODY!!
Not a recession!! Cause biden says so!!
And that inflation?
You know, the inflation caused by government spending?
The despicables are gonna pass a bill that requires even MORE government spending!
You know, to fix inflation .............
And in the process line the pockets of our cronies and supporters!!

Ain't politics grand?

 

President Biden is on TV right now and a couldn't be more proud of him. He's got bragging rights to an incredible July jobs report. And he did mention it. But then added while that's good it doesn't help much if you already have a job and gas prices and inflation are eating up your paycheck.

So we have to address that. Which is why right now myself and the Democrats are trying to pass the Inflation Reduction Act. We know its hurting Americans and American families and we need to tackle that problem head on. And here is how we are going to do it.

Then President Biden lists all the things that are in the Inflation Reduction Ace to help Americans including reducing the cost of prescription drugs and how the act will actually bring down inflation.

Its not everything President Biden wanted by a long shot. But it does have very tangible things to reduce inflation, helping average Americans, keep adding to US manufacturing, and addressing global warming/climate change.

And President Biden drove that message home with what amounts to shock and awe. Shocked because Americans are still used to Trump who would have done nothing but brag and scream about the jobs report as if its the most important thing in American history. Shocked by a president that says Americans I know you are still hurting out there and as president I have to take responsibility for that and address it. And then once shocked being in awe to hear from President Biden what all is in the Inflation Reduction Act that is going to help them and make their lives better.

By Joe Biden’s Rules for College Students, Joe Biden Is Sex Offender

Joe Biden’s public repudiation of Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos’ new Title IX regulations wasn’t the normal criticism by a challenger against an incumbent administration. After several days during which the ex-veep and his media allies celebrated the importance of due process in evaluating sexual-assault allegations, Biden denounced DeVos’ own efforts to ensure that accused college students receive fair procedures.

The hypocrisy was striking. The new regulations undid an Obama-era initiative in which Biden was the key player. Convinced that male students typically stood by as they saw “a brother taking a drunk freshman coed up the stairs to his room,” Biden oversaw a multiyear effort to use Title IX tribunals to “change the culture” on campus.

Due process, the rights of the accused or the possibility of false allegations appeared in no public speeches that he gave on the topic; indeed, the concepts were obstacles to his goal. Too many not-guilty findings wouldn’t produce the needed change.

Then came Tara Reade, who charges that then-Sen. Biden, her former boss, sexually assaulted her 27 years ago. Reade’s claim has many weaknesses, but it’s nevertheless weighty enough to yield a guilty finding from a Title IX tribunal under the procedures and standards of evidence Biden championed.

Biden has now urged the public to evaluate Reade’s allegations under traditional rules, respecting the presumption of his innocence. Reade, Biden maintains, should face rigorous questioning rather than enjoying the benefit of the reflexive belief that he had offered to campus accusers.

Facing what he claims is a false allegation, Biden might have used the DeVos regulations to acknowledge that college students deserve the same opportunity to defend their innocence he is getting.

The new regulations, requiring colleges to provide both the accused and the accusing students with all the evidence compiled in an investigation, and then to hold a hearing in which advocates for both students can cross-examine witnesses, hardly encompass a radical vision of due process.

Biden didn’t rise to the occasion. Instead, he wildly claimed that the regulations would “shame and silence” campus complainants and “strip survivors of their rights” — as if Title IX, an equity statute, gives accusers the right to convene a kangaroo court to adjudicate their allegations.

He promised to restore the Obama-era policies that created the due-process crisis on the nation’s campuses, even though implementing those procedures in 2021 would require at least some colleges to ignore appeals-court holdings from lawsuits filed by accused students.

There is more Biden hypocrisy where that came from. The DeVos regulations require investigation of allegations of quid-pro-quo harassment by staff or faculty, as well as of rape, sexual assault, stalking, domestic violence and dating violence. They also require investigation of claims of sexual harassment as defined by the Supreme Court’s most important Title IX case, Davis v. Monroe County Board of Education.

Biden, however, apparently sees a Title IX process focused on such serious offenses as a negative, allowing colleges “to choose to investigate only more extreme acts of violence and harassment,” ignoring allegations of less extreme offenses. This is an odd line of argument for someone who has admitted to making women uncomfortable by touching them in public, albeit without ill intent.

Surely, Biden wouldn’t support harsh punishment for a college student who engaged in behavior identical to his?

If Biden is oblivious to the absurdity of his demanding procedural protections that he intends to deny to college students facing similar allegations, other Democrats seem more self-aware. None has endorsed the DeVos regulations, but in sharp contrast with 2018, when the education secretary released a preliminary version of the new campus rules, only a few congressional Democrats have publicly criticized her work this time around.

Before the presidential campaign gets into full swing, perhaps a reporter could ask Biden to reconcile his response to Reade with his attack on the due-process protections in DeVos’ regulations.

How can a college student facing a false allegation defend himself effectively under the Title IX procedures that Biden would re-impose on the nation’s campuses? And how would Biden defend himself against Tara Reade’s allegations, if he were held to those same standards?

 

The parliamentarian cleared the Inflation Reduction Act for reconciliation. It is now on the floor of the Senate and the amendment process is underway. And it only needs 51 votes to pass.

 

Vice President Joe Biden Met with CCP-Linked Energy Executives at White House in 2014

WENDELL HUSEBØ6 Aug 2022

Vice President Joe Biden reportedly met at the White House two Chinese energy executives who worked with a CCP-linked company, Wanxiang, on July 25, 2014, between 11 A.M and 12.15 P.M., emails from Hunter’s laptop reveal.

While Joe Biden and his staff have claimed at least seven times that the president has had no part in the family business, documentation on the laptop reveals he has been involved in the family business at least 18 times over nine years. The latest example comes from White House visitor logs, which show Joe Biden met with the CCP-linked executives with “just one day’s notice,” The Daily Mail reported.

In 2012, Seneca Global Advisors, Hunter Biden’s business, had a client named GreatPoint Energy that partnered with Wanxiang on a $1.25 billion natural gas plant in communist China. Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping was at the signing deal between the two entities. Wanxiang is also known for dealing with a copper mine owned by North Korea. Hunter has also been reportedly involved in the copper and cobalt mine business between a different Chinese entity and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The deal between GreatPoint Energy and Wanxiang is notable because Hunter’s business, Rosemont Seneca Partners, also invested in the Fisker car company that was bought by Wanxiang after Fisker when bankrupt in 2013. “Hunter was listed as a creditor on its [Fisker’s] filings,” the Daily Mail reported.

According to the report, Hunter bought one of Fisker’s vehicles for $142,300, but the car had apparently failed to operate. Wanxiang’s America president, Pin Ni, who had met with Joe Biden four days prior, offered to service Hunter’s vehicle in an email discovered by the Daily Mail:

‘Last Friday when we visited DC, I heard that your Fisker is out of order and could not get serviced. Sorry,’ Ni wrote.
‘It would be our honor to get your Fisker fixed… I would like to give you a call to see what we could do as next step.

‘It would be our great honor to welcome you to visit Fisker or Wanxiang at any time.’

The emails reveal what a close relationship the Biden family had with a CCP-linked company that acquired an American company while Hunter Biden was peddling influence to then-vice president Joe Biden. According to a Harris poll, 58 percent of voters believe that Joe Biden has played a role in his family’s business. Sixty percent say Hunter Biden has sold “influence and access” to the president.

It should be noted that before Fisker bankrupt in 2013 and later sold in 2016 to Wanxiang, Joe Biden claimed to have brokered a massive deal between Fisker Automotives and an automotive plant with a taxpayer-funded loan. “In 2016, China purchased the electric vehicle company Fisker Automotive, after U.S. taxpayers had spent $193 million funding the company’s electric vehicle research,” Breitbart News reported. “Fisker Automotive was acquired at a bankruptcy auction by the China-based Wanxiang Group Corporation.”

Meanwhile, Oversight Committee ranking member Rep. James Comer (R-KY) has demanded Hunter Biden’s wealth manager hand over information connected to 150 flagged wire transactions by U.S. banks between Hunter and James Biden. Comer suspects the wire transfers are linked to Hunter’s business accounts under Prewitt’s management. Hunter’s bank accounts are related to his corrupt businesses: Owasco PC, Owasco LLC, Skaneateles, and Rosemont Seneca Advisors — companies that have done business with CCP-linked companies. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) told CBS News in April that James and Hunter Biden were both directly paid by Chinese entities and promised retainer fees for their China work, receiving in total $165,000.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) exclusively revealed to Breitbart News on Monday that House Republicans are gearing up to investigate the Biden family business with the possible creation of a select committee after the GOP likely reclaims the House in midterm elections. Gaetz noted Rosemont Seneca will be a top priority for House Republicans because it may involve “highly sophisticated influence peddling” within the Biden family. It is Congress’s responsibility to pass laws that “ensure we don’t have a compromised First Family,” he added. “We need to understand how influence in our government was bought and sold through Hunter Biden’s various entities.”

But before Congressional Republicans probe the Biden family, Trump-appointed U.S. prosecutor David Weiss is investigating Hunter and associates for tax violations and lying to law enforcement about illegally purchasing a firearm, CNN reported. Assistant Attorney General for the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) National Security Division, Matthew Olsen, on Thursday confirmed to Gaetz in a congressional hearing the agency is investigating Hunter Biden.

Inflation Reduction Act Tax Changes: Details & Analysis | Tax Foundation
the Inflation Reduction Act would reduce long-run economic output by about 0.1 percent and eliminate about 30,000 full-time equivalent jobs in the United States. It would also reduce average after-tax incomes for taxpayers across every income quintile over the long run.
This bill will actually worsen inflation by constraining the productive capacity of the economy.
increase federal revenues by about $656 billion over the budget window, before accounting for $352 billion in expanded tax credits for individuals and businesses, resulting in a net revenue increase of about $304 billion from 2022 to 2031.
Excluding the anticipated revenue from increased tax compliance and the drug pricing provisions, the bill would lose about $126 billion in revenue over the budget window.

And here ya go, skippy, the key provisions of bidens pig bill. As of Friday. You betcha it's gonna "attack inflation". You betcha. What it's gonna do is pay bidens cronies and political supporters off and fuck the rest of America.

This from an american hating cowboy who calls America a "shithole country" and a "banana republic". You have no credibility here, american hater. You have no business here.

 

Funny how you never want to talk about lies when it's Trump doing the lying.
