Biden's War Against the Internet

The late-night comedy shows sound like they all received an email from the Biden campaign requesting they tout the latest economic numbers. There's really nothing funny about growth in the Gross Domestic Product‚ or oil production‚ or manufacturing jobs. But the comedians tried to apply their comedic skills and strategies to give Biden a PR win with low-information voters: -- Saturday Night Live over the weekend had a little joke about how the economy is booming‚ but Fox News could only obsess over illegal aliens and transgender activism.  -- CBS host Stephen Colbert pulled out the bongo drums on CBS and pretended to be a beatnik to try to make it cool to like Bidenomics. This‚ like his "Vax Scene" dancers sketch from 2021‚ carried a Sixties vibe‚ like he's watching reruns of The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis. -- NBC host Jimmy Fallon‚ who's less political than the others‚ nevertheless tried to impress one of his band members with all the good news‚ and the man kept saying "Say whaaaat?" One of the headlines on Colbert's show was goofy: "The vibecession is over because the economy now slays." It was a Washington Post opinion-section newsletter by Drew Goins. In discussing Biden's primary challengers‚ Goins wrote‚ "If a Democratic primary falls in the forest but the DNC doesn’t allocate any delegates accordingly‚ does it even make a sound? No sane challenger would take on Biden in the committee’s tailor-made sweep of states he’s strong in." But MSNBC's The Weekend granted an interview on Sunday to Biden challenger Dean Phillips‚ Democratic congressman from Minnesota. Michael Steele asked him bluntly‚ "What the hell you doing?" Phillips said Biden shouldn't have run for re-election‚ and hammered the White House for hiding Biden. "This notion of encapsulating him -- don't debate‚ don't appear in front of voters‚ don't do anything unscripted‚ don't do interviews‚ don't do town halls -- he's gonna have to! And when people see it‚ it's going to be REALLY difficult to overcome." As Phillips suggested‚ Democrats are much more pessimistic about Biden in private than they are in public. On television‚ they have to make jokes about how wonderful he's doing.  Enjoy the podcast below‚ or wherever you listen to podcasts. 

South Carolina police said that a trucker was attacked by a mob outside of a Circle-K convenience store in Spartanburg‚ and they are considering hate crime charges. The Spartanburg Police Department said officers were called to the store at the intersection of East Main Street and Drayton Road on Dec. 20 at about 3 a.m. When they arrived‚ they were told that a Circle-K delivery driver was attacked by three people. “My understanding is that he had been inside the store but then came outside the store back to his tanker truck. He worked for Circle K as a the delivery driver‚ dropping fuel in the underground tanks‚” said Spartanburg Police Maj. Art Littlejohn. Police were able to obtain footage of the attack from a Ring doorbell camera at a nearby residence. “You can’t see it clearly because it happens behind two of the tanks‚ but they jumped on him‚ they ended hitting him several times in his face in his head and shoulder‚” Littlejohn explained. Police do not believe the victim and the attackers knew each other before the incident‚ and it appears that the attack was unprovoked. “Typically people who are involved in an incident like this‚ assault and battery‚ they know the person‚ it’s usually not a stranger; but in this case it doesn’t appear that victim knew the suspects at all‚” Littlejohn added. Police are still investigating the motive for the attack‚ but because of racial slurs heard on the video‚ they are considering investigating it as a hate crime. “We are investigating it as you would say an assault and battery by a mob right now‚” Littlejohn said‚ "the possible hate crime comes in based on the language that is in some of the reports or some of the things that we have heard on the video camera‚ some of the racial slurs that we heard on the video tape so that’s one of the angles that the investigators are looking at." Police are asking for help from the public in identifying the suspects based on descriptions of their cars. “A black SUV and a gray or silver sedan‚ a couple of the guys got into the black SUV that leaves the area and there’s a gray car with black wheels no hubcaps that also leaves the scene‚" said Littlejohn.

Federal Reserve Chair System board of governors chair Jerome Powell noted during an interview for "60 Minutes" that in the long term‚ the government is on an "unsustainable fiscal path‚" which he explained "means that the debt is growing faster than the economy."Interviewer Scott Pelley suggested that Powell is worried about the issue. "Over the long run‚ of course it does‚" Powell said‚ acknowledging his concern. He noted that "effectively we're borrowing from future generations."According to fiscaldata.treasury.gov‚ the country's national debt is currently more than $34.1 trillion.Powell said regarding staples such as bread‚ milk‚ and eggs‚ "Prices are substantially higher than they were before the pandemic‚" adding‚ "we think that's a big reason why people ... have been relatively dissatisfied with what is otherwise a pretty good economy." In a post on X‚ Peter Schiff declared‚ "When it comes to our dire fiscal situation‚ #Powell is wrong. We're not just on an unsustainable path. We've already arrived at an unsustainable destination. As with Wile E. Coyote‚ we've already run past the edge of the fiscal cliff. It's just that we haven't looked down yet." Some U.S. lawmakers have been sounding the alarm about the country's ever-expanding debt."Our deteriorating fiscal health and our ballooning national debt pose the greatest threat to American economic security‚" GOP Rep. Randy Feenstra of Iowa declared in a social media post. "Our national debt is over $34 trillion. We need to stop borrowing money from our enemies‚ stop printing money out of thin air‚ and stop spending money that we don't have‚" he had noted in another post."Reminder: the U.S. is over $34.1 TRILLION in national debt. Our country cannot continue down this debt death spiral‚" GOP Rep. Richard Hudson of North Carolina noted. — (@) Like Blaze News?
