Bzzt! Turns out 13 of the 16 Nobel economists
have a history of signing Stiglitz's loopy
pro-Biden letters
Posted By: Hazymac, 6/27/2024 5:14:00 PM
Using their Nobel prize chops as credibility, some 16 economists signed a ridiculous letter put out by radical left-wing economist Joe Stiglitz, claiming that President Trump would wreck the economy if he gets re-elected and usher in runaway inflation. The economists, ummm, seem to have been living in an academic bubble, not noticing Joe Biden's record on the matter. I wrote about that here. They portrayed themselves as just objective economists practicing their science, and making their pronuncimentos. But their aim, of course, was to influence the election. They were following the 51 intelligence analysts model, imitating the tactics of the spymasters who signed a letter in 2020 claiming the Hunter

Let's be honest: Everyone has known for a long time now that Joe Biden is both physically frail and cognitively impaired. Biden's allies have merely thought they could deny it until after the election. Well, the debate made that impossible, and now there's a mad dash to do "something" about it. Calls for Biden to drop out are coming in strong from the left-wing media, and elected Democrats are freaking out privately.
How did this happen? How did we get to this point? Well, some Democratic Party insiders say that Joe Biden was set up to fail in a "soft coup" designed to oust him.

Washington and the media are surprisingly quiet today about the Biden drama. No doubt journalists are working the phones hard with their sources, but there seem to be no new breathless headlines or concrete news about Democrat “panic” or behind-closed-door machinations to force Slow Joe out of the race. Have leading Democrats thrown in the towel, and realized they can’t get rid of Biden? Or are Democratic insiders being unusually disciplined in not talking to the media while the wheels are turning? Watch the Sunday morning news shows for clues. That’s where Washington often talks to itself, and people float trial balloons or send authorized signals.
A subtle but important point from the email sent out by Biden’s deputy campaign manager I previously discussed.
"The bedwetting brigade is calling for Joe Biden to “drop out.” That is the best possible way for Donald Trump to win and us to lose.
First of all: Joe Biden is going to be the Democratic nominee, period. End of story. Voters voted. He won overwhelmingly. And if he were to drop out, it would lead to weeks of chaos, internal foodfighting, and a bunch of candidates who limp into a brutal floor fight at the convention, all while Donald Trump has time to speak to American voters uncontested.
Joe Biden got dog walked by Donald Trump on Thursday night. It was a drumming that, quite frankly, might be unrecoverable. It’s why Democrats everywhere are popping Paxil and chugging whisky to cope because they’re stuck. Sure, there’s talk about how to replace Biden, but that ship sailed months ago. Democrats are now stuck with an impossible situation because not even that little rally in North Carolina the following day, where Biden was livelier, can repair the damage that’s been done. In the aftermath, the Biden White House is leaking like a sieve, with aides chirping that the president is only functional during a six-hour window (via Axios):
Joe Biden only had to do one thing: prove he could debate Donald Trump without looking like someone who was about to take up residency at a nursing home. He failed miserably, which has led to panic among Democrats not seen since slavery was abolished. Of course, damage control is being done among the party’s upper crust, with endless statements attesting to their commitment to Mr. Biden as the nominee. They must—it’s a tacit acknowledgment that they can’t replace Biden on the ticket, which has become another topic of conversation. If there were a window, the pressure campaign we’re seeing now would be much more intense.
Mere days after his disastrous debate performance sent Democrats into a widespread panic, it is now being reported that Joe Biden plans to discuss the future of his re-election campaign with his family on Sunday.
According to a report from NBC News, Biden and First Lady Jill Biden are scheduled to meet their children and grandchildren at Camp David late Saturday. Allegedly, this trip was planned before the debate.
So far, the party’s top leaders have offered public support for Biden, including in tweets posted by former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. Senior congressional Democrats,
I am dedicating this article to my lefty friends and loved ones. Yes, I still have some of those. I made a pledge to myself years ago that I wouldn't let politics destroy my relationships with good people with whom I have wonderful personal histories.
This pledge is getting harder and harder to keep. Thursday's debate has put it under the greatest stress test yet, and I'm not sure I can keep it much longer.
My lefty friends and I have been getting along for the past eight years by agreeing not to talk about politics. This was necessitated in 2016 when Donald Trump won, and so many people —
The disaster of Thursday night’s debate provided Americans with two giant revelations.
First, Joe Biden is mentally and physically failing and cannot remain president.
Second, and of greater long-term import, the media has been stripped bare as our most corrupt institution — and that is saying something.
The debate showed everyone what happens when the Democratic communications machine, formerly known as the media, is bypassed, and candidates can be seen clearly by the American people without the filters. The media has been lying — expect this word to come up a lot — to the American people on behalf of Biden and Democrats for years.

In the famous psychological drama, Gaslight, it took a Scotland Yard detective to prove the heroine had been driven half-mad by a gaslighting husband. All it took us to see how we had been deceived was a CNN debate. Who was the villain? How much was the American public the victim of gaslighting designed to dispel the notion that President Biden was mentally and physically unfit to hold the office of president? Let me count the ways.

Everyone, even CNN, knows that Joe Biden is completely lost. If anyone doubted that, the Thursday debate proved the point. And by completely lost, I mean that he could not maintain focus when asked questions, could not figure out how to look into the camera, and said many things that, frankly, made no sense. I flipped on CNN for kicks and giggles (and no small amount of schadenfreude) and was shocked by what I saw because, as we know, Democrats usually back their guy to the end—"to the pain," as one "Princess Bride" character famously quipped.
Instead, I witnessed weeping and gnashing of teeth—and an execution squad.
The media is aghast, panicked, and shell-shocked over Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance, which might have been the final nail in the coffin of the Biden 2024 campaign. It was a painful 90 minutes where Joe Biden seemed aloof, mentally slow, and incapable of defending his agenda or attacking Trump. In short, everything we’ve been saying about the president regarding his physical and mental health was showcased for the entire nation. There’s no selective editing here—this is Joe. Maybe I’m overthinking this, but many on social media clipped this bit from CNN host Erin Burnett. It seemed as if she was inadvertently admitting that the Biden camp was fed the
The debate Thursday night was a complete and total disaster for the Democratic Party. Joe Biden pounded his chest over the prospect of debating Donald Trump. His side was eager to do it. The party, in general, seemed to be primed for the showdown. But time is a funny thing in politics. It’s the most valuable resource, and often, operatives say there’s not enough to get everything they want done in a campaign. For Biden, too much time has allowed his weaknesses and party fractures to fester, leading to a full-blown stage 4 diagnosis of political cancer that might have undone the president against Donald Trump.

Performance: ‘Given Us 3 Years of Solid Leadership’ 38 replies
Former President Bill Clinton defended President Joe Biden after his performance at the presidential debate on Thursday night against former President Donald Trump.
In a post on X, Clinton highlighted how Biden had “given us 3 years of solid leadership,” and created a “record number of new jobs,” and was “making real progress solving the climate crisis,” among other things.
“I’ll leave the debate rating to the pundits, but here’s what I know: fact and history matter,” Clinton wrote. “Joe Biden has given us 3 years of solid leadership, steadying us after the pandemic, creating a record number of new jobs, making real progress solving the climate crisis,
On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Situation Room,” Biden Campaign Co-Chair Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) dodged on if President Joe Biden is like the person we saw on the debate stage on Thursday, but stated that “he is sharp and engaged, his cognitive capabilities are as good as ever.”
Host Wolf Blitzer asked, “Senator, you mentioned Vice President Kamala Harris, she, repeatedly, last night, dodged Anderson Cooper’s questions about whether the Biden we saw in the debate is who he is every day. What’s your answer to that? Because you know him well.”

President Biden argued that his disastrous debate performance actually converted more voters to his side than former President Trump. Biden made the claim while surrounded by donors during a Saturday fundraiser at the home of New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy. The president reportedly acknowledged that his performance at the debate left much to be desired, but he argued that polling was on his side.
"I didn’t have a great night, but I’m going to be fighting harder," Biden told the several dozen people at the party, according to NJ.com.

First lady Jill Biden drew backlash from conservatives on social media after President Joe Biden's presidential debate fiasco on Thursday evening, with one X, formerly Twitter, account calling her a "monster." During CNN's debate in Atlanta last night, Biden answered the moderators' questions with what his administration has currently accomplished and hopes to accomplish in another four years if he's reelected in November. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump deflected many answers and had little to say about the exact policies he would enact as president. However, the biggest takeaway from the debate was the dismal job Biden did at answering
Joe Biden is only fully functional from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., according to a report by Axios published Saturday in the wake of Biden’s disastrous not-ready-for-primetime debate with President Trump Thursday night. The report states White House staff know there are ‘two Bidens’: One who is fully engaged for about six hours a day and the one Americans (and the world) saw staring into space and struggling to articulate lucid, complete thoughts during the debate Thursday night.

In the wake of Joe Biden's debate implosion, there's a lot of panic going on in the Democratic Party.
CNN's John King encapsulated it on Thursday night: "Very aggressive panic," he termed it.
In the immediate wake of the debate, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) spoke with Ben Ferguson on their podcast, "The Verdict," about the debacle.
As Rebecca Downs at our sister site Townhall reported:
Cruz agreed with King that "Joe Biden did unbelievably badly, that the degree of dementia he is facing right now, it has escalated to a point that it is unrecognizable," adding "I think there are a great many Democrats
Several major Hollywood donors for President Joe Biden have been sent into panic mode after President Joe Biden’s poor performance at Thursday night’s presidential debate.
Anonymous Hollywood donors told Variety that they had received messages and feedback from donors in the media and entertainment industry who were panicked by what they saw from Biden during the debate. Donors reportedly called for Biden to “drop out” or they would not be “giving any more money” to the Democrat Party.
During the presidential debate, Biden appeared to freeze. Biden also spoke with a hoarse voice and mumbled.
The president was also unable to get through his closing statement without making a lot of errors.
ATLANTA - A recent TikTok video has gone viral, showing a user’s surprising experience with Walmart's grocery prices. The user explained in his video that he tried to use the "Reorder All" button for an order he placed two years ago, which originally cost $126.67. To his shock, the same order would now cost $414.39.
The video has garnered around one million views, with most comments expressing similar astonishment at the apparent price increase. However, one TikTok user pointed out that some of the items in the original order were discontinued, leading to falsely inflated prices.
