The Memo: Political winds shift against Biden

Original Article

Posted By: FlyRight, 6/8/2021 4:57:46 AM

The atmosphere is changing fast for President Biden. Sen. Joe Manchin’s (D-W.Va.) opposition to weakening the filibuster has thrown the president’s legislative agenda into flux. The COVID-19 vaccination push has hit serious resistance, meaning Biden could fail to meet a key benchmark for the first time. And the economic picture is mixed, with some weaker-than-expected employment data and new fears about inflation, even as jobs return and businesses reopen. It all marks an abrupt change from Biden’s first months in office, when he pushed through a $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package,

Biden can take some comfort from the fact that, if he has arrived at that point, it’s not the result of any egregious gaffes on his part. Excuse Me?! His whole 'presidency'* is a gaffe! Don't you try to lay his idiocy off on the fact that some people might actually be coming to their senses! He and Karmella are both poor excuses for human beings and poor examples to younger generations.

This entire propaganda article is premised on the belief that Joe "Short Eyes" Biden was legally elected as President and won the popular vote. He is not and will never be accepted as the President of our country by the majority of the American people who voted to re-elect our rightful President, Donald J Trump. This persistent widespread refusal to view Biden as the President is not going to dissipate in the face of a constant barrage of rigged polls and a relentless propaganda media campaign to prop Biden up. He is an illegitimate Usurper and Traitor squatting in our White House as the result of a stolen election coup. That is a Fact and the Truth which cannot be denied. Free America!

FTA: Biden could fail to meet a key benchmark for the first time. Say wha...!!? I will pay off your student loans. Free college for everyone. Reparations for all descendants of slaves. I will build back better. I will take your AR-15. All of these silly promises are still sitting in Limbo because Joe does not have the trillions of dollars it will take to pay for each one or the votes from the less delusional people in Congress.

Yes, #1, I stopped reading at that point. No longer are President Biden’s, “gaffes,” “egregious;” President Biden’s misstatements, indecipherable speech, and graceless hyperbole are as commonplace as they are unreported. Deny, deny, deny. The leftist media have taken President Clinton’s advice.

I got to the point where that idiot Psaki said the administration would “use every tool at our disposal” to keep the vaccination numbers surging. I fully expect that major corporations will be pressured to do the dirty work of restricting the rights of people who decline to be vaccinated. After all, they're "private businesses" and can set the rules for people who frequent their places of business.

Haitian President Jovenel Moise assassinated 16 replies

The assassination occurred around 1 a.m. when armed intruders, some of whom allegedly spoke Spanish, shot Moise in the head. Haitian President Jovenel Moise was shot dead by unidentified attackers in his private residence overnight in an "inhuman and barbaric act" and his wife was injured, Interim Prime Minister Claude Joseph said on Wednesday. He said the police and army had the security situation under control but gunshots could be heard throughout the capital after the attack, which occurred amid a rising wave of politically linked violence in the impoverished Caribbean nation.

Now that civilian Bill Barr has jumped back into the political fray, it is time to take unflinching stock of the degraded Department of Justice (DOJ) and how it became even further corrupted during Barr's reign.

The U.S. military has conducted defensive precision airstrikes against three facilities near the Iraq-Syria border region Sunday evening. According to Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby, the facilities are used by several Iran-backed militia groups engaged in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) attacks against U.S. personnel and facilities in Iraq, including Kata'ib Hezbollah (KH) and Kata'ib Sayyid al-Shuhada (KSS). "As demonstrated by this evening's strikes, President Biden has been clear that he will act to protect U.S. personnel. Given the ongoing series of attacks by Iran-backed groups targeting U.S. interests in Iraq, the President directed further military action to disrupt and deter such attacks," Kirby added.

Joe Manchin is sparking outright fury from liberals — with some Black Democrats invoking Jim Crow laws and Mitch McConnell as they blast the West Virginian's resistance to a sweeping elections bill. Manchin’s fellow Senate Democrats are being far more conciliatory. After all, the 50-vote Senate majority needs Manchin's vote to do just about anything. So not even its most progressive members seem to want to poke the bear.

The Biden administration's Justice Department filed court documents Monday that seek to defend former President Donald Trump in a defamation lawsuit. President Joe Biden criticized Trump on the campaign trail last year for using the department like his own "private law firm" in multiple instances, including in the case of E. Jean Carroll, who has accused Trump of sexually assaulting her in the mid-1990s. In September, Trump's Justice Department filed documents seeking to represent Trump against Carroll's claim in federal court

The bodies of hundreds of people who died when the coronavirus surged in New York City during the spring are reportedly still in storage in freezer trucks on Brooklyn’s waterfront. The Wall Street Journal reported about 650 bodies are being stored in the trucks at a disaster morgue that was set up in April on the 39th St. Pier in Sunset Park. Many of those early COVID-19 victims are from families who can’t be located or afford a burial, the city’s Office of Chief Medical Examiner told the Journal.

Biden on Tuesday kicked off his “Help is Here” tour of the nation, which he thinks will be a good way of showcasing the highly partisan $1.9 trillion COVID-19 stimulus bill. While many in the mainstream media are focused on the “roadshow,” many may not realize that Biden just spent another night at his home in Wilmington, Delaware. Last weekend, Biden and his wife, Jill Biden, took Marine One to their Wilmington home and didn’t return to Washington until Sunday.
Biden's conspicuous silence on the Cuomo scandal 22 replies

Based on everything we know about New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's psyche, it's impossible to imagine him resigning unless he knows he has no way out. The only Democratic figure who could plausibly persuade Cuomo to resign is President Biden. The big picture: Unlike many of his other Democratic critics, Cuomo respects and likes Biden. The two men have had good relations — during the transition, there was even (far-fetched) talk that the governor would be considered as Biden's attorney general.

When Catherine the Great of Russia traveled in the late 18th-century, her former lover, Grigory Potemkin, would travel ahead of her and build hasty facades along the main thoroughfares in impoverished, bedraggled villages to create the impression of a prosperous nation. Thus, a Potemkin village is a fake that artificially puffs up a leader’s competence and popularity. Two recent videos, one of Biden’s fans turning out to greet him in Michigan and another of Trump’s fans turning out for him in Florida, show that Biden is a Potemkin president. It’s all fake.

In a remarkable display of how committed the Democrat party is to utilizing the narrative of domestic extremism for their own benefit, Nancy Pelosi is placing satellite field offices for the DC Capitol Police in key regions around the country. When we consider the FBI has field offices all over the country, you might ask: why does the Capitol Hill police need to expand beyond Washington DC? Essentially, what Nancy Pelosi is doing is expanding the federal law enforcement mechanism of the legislative branch into specific areas where they can investigate political opposition armed with legal authority.
