Biden Finally Admits Pelosi Pushed Him Out

On a global scale, the human population is certainly booming. It officially hit the 8-billion mark back in 2022 and is expected to spend the next 60 years or so creeping up to over 10 billion. On a country-wide scale, however, the story is a bit more complex.We know this thanks to the latest World Factbook data published by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in the US, which keeps tabs on all kinds of different intelligence, including population growth rates – these are percentage figures that take into account births, deaths, and migration when it comes to the average change in a population.According to the CIA’s most recent data, the following are the top 10 countries currently experiencing the highest rates of population growth:South Sudan – 4.65 percentNiger – 3.66 percentAngola – 3.33 percentBenin – 3.29 percentEquatorial Guinea – 3.23 percentUganda – 3.18 percent Democratic Republic of the Congo – 3.11 percentChad – 3.01 percentMali – 2.9 percentZambia – 2.83 percentThe top 10 is completely dominated by African countries, which reflects a trend seen across the continent; according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Africa’s population has increased tenfold since 1900, attributed primarily to dropping mortality rates and increasingly high birth rates.Across the Atlantic in the United States, the population is also growing, albeit far less dramatically at 0.67 percent though that isnt to say that the impacts of that rate arent noticeable. Floridas population, for example, recently passed 23 million for the first time ever not because of its residents getting increasingly jiggy with it, but in large part because of an influx of retirees.The population boom isn’t expected to last forever, however. There are countries on the CIA’s list where the population growth rate is in the negative, meaning the number of people there is shrinking.A significant reason behind the drop could be that, in many of those places, fertility rates are also falling. Some researchers have anticipated that by the end of this century, 97 percent of countries won’t have fertility rates high enough to sustain their population size.The consequence could be that, despite the rapid growth seen in some countries at present, the global population may peak much earlier than previously estimated, according to a recent UN report, leading to a worldwide population drop sometime in the mid-2080s.Whether or not that prediction comes true, and the potential consequences if it does, remains to be seen – but keeping an eye on what’s going on in individual countries at the moment can provide us with valuable clues.

Maybe some Democrats decided all the Trump-is-Hitler talk is passe after someone tried to assassinate him. George Conway is not one of those Democrats.  On today's Morning Joe, Conway self-owned, that he's been "yammering" on these same vicious anti-Trump themes for years. But Conway's accusations reached their apex today. Playing off Trump's Truth Social posts claiming that Kamala Harris's Michigan crowd size had been fabricated, Conway called Trump a delusional narcissistic psychopath, adding that if his family cared about him, they would have him committed to a psychiatric hospital. Working in the obligatory Nazi analogy, Conway compared Trump to Hitler in his final days in the bunker, moving around divisions that didn't exist. Conway cried crocodile tears, saying that although his crowd is going to be laughing at Trump's supposed implosion, "it's actually very, very, sad."  Somebody hand Conway a Kleenex. And then there was Jonathan Lemire. After enthusing that Harris has been "throwing the equivalent of a no-hitter," Lemire sheepishly apologized for having a Truth Social account. How can Kamala throw a no-hitter if there are no batters? Tut-tut, Jonathan! Kindly submit all your media subscriptions to the Harris campaign for review.  To ensure fair-and-balanced coverage, only approved sources shall be permitted! Here's the transcript. MSNBC Morning Joe 8/12/24 6:10 am EDT JOE SCARBOROUGH: I've got to say, I was with Stephen King on this one. When I read that Truth Social post about her crowds being fake, I was sure, I said, I'm not going to fall for this one. I was sure that it was a fake post. In fact, I remained sure it was a fake post for several hours, until we got confirmation. This is truly, again, I'm just gonna, I'm gonna quote Halperin here. Politically worse than claiming 2020 was stolen and politically worse than celebrating January 6th. This accusation even more unhinged than that. . . .  JONATHAN LEMIRE: The trend is heavily towards Harris, and it's rushing towards Harris in recent weeks. The Vice President at this point throwing the equivalent of a no-hitter in the first three weeks of her campaign. Hoping to keep that going with the Democratic convention next week. She will have obstacles in front of her, no doubt, but right now, she's on a roll. George Conway, not on a roll: Donald Trump, who is imploding. And there's been some terrific reporting over the weekend. The New York Times had a great story. I've been talking to sources who back up what Joe was just saying, about how the Republicans are freaking out, because Trump can't stay focused. We had that unhinged news conference last week. We have these fundraisers where he's giving private remarks, talking about crowd size, doubling down on his attacks about the Vice President's identity. And then culminating in that Truth Social post, which I also, I have Truth Social, I'm sorry to say, and I triple checked it to make sure it was a real post on his site, and it was. It was real.  And George, we now know that at this point, Donald Trump is so rattled about crowd sizes, he's taking up conspiracy theories from his fever swamps of the right, elevating it, maybe even believing it. It just reeks of desperation. GEORGE CONWAY: Yeah. As I've been yammering about for five or six years now, he's a deeply unwell man. He is a deeply psychologically disturbed individual. If he were a member of your family, you'd be taking him, you'd be staging an intervention and taking him into a psychiatric hospital. And if Melania and Ivanka and Eric and Don Jr. care about their father, and I assume -- their father and husband, and I assume they do, they'd be doing that if they could. He is, as I've been saying, a narcissistic sociopath, a pathological narcissist and a sociopath as defined by the American Psychiatric Association.  And these are, historians will tell you, the traits of authoritarian dictators throughout history. And what we're seeing now is, as you put it, an implosion. And this, I believe, is what ultimately was always going to happen. The final implosion of Donald Trump.  I mean, it's like Hitler when Hitler was moving around divisions that didn't exist in the last ten days of the war in the Fuehrer bunker. I mean, he has completely lost it. This post is beyond question, delusional. Anybody--but it was also inevitable, because what's happening here is he realizes, he realizes he's gotten under more pressure than ever because he's not just running for the presidency. He's running for his freedom. He's going to go to jail if he does not win the presidency, and he can see that now.  And that's why he's doubling down on the unreality. It's partly for self-soothing. Partly, because he can't help it; he's a pathological liar, being a sociopath.  And what we're watching is, is, I mean, we're going to make fun of it because it helps provoke him into self-destruction, which is what the country needs. But it's actually very, very sad.  

Joe Biden ran as a political moderate during the 2020 election. But from the administration’s inception, Biden and his vice president, Kamala Harris, have worked tirelessly to impose far-left progressive policies designed to appease the Democratic Party’s base.The Biden-Harris White House has spent trillions of dollars expanding the size and scope of government and forced families to pay more than $168 billion to “forgive” other people’s student loan debt, and their reckless spending and energy policies, coupled with irresponsible actions taken by the Federal Reserve, have created an unprecedented inflation crisis. As a result, prices for nearly everything from groceries to housing have skyrocketed over the past three years.No law could ever naturally result in perfectly equitable outcomes for all groups of people.But as progressive and destructive as the Biden-Harris administration has been, Kamala Harris’ policy ideas are significantly more damaging than those advanced by Biden.Harris might sell herself as well within the political mainstream, but her record proves she’s far from it. Harris is a democratic socialist who supports legislation designed to impose left-wing social justice ideology on schools, encourage illegal immigration, and fundamentally transform America’s society and economy.Ten bills Harris cosponsored or sponsored in the U.S. Senate clearly show that her policies align more with socialists like Bernie Sanders than with moderate Democrats.1. The Green New DealHarris cosponsored the Green New Deal in the Senate. This proposal, spearheaded by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), aims to "upgrade" nearly every home and business in the United States. It also mandates the creation of a new electricity grid, guarantees government jobs, establishes basic-income programs, imposes regulations to transform U.S. agriculture, and commits trillions to wind and solar development. Additionally, it requires the elimination of most of the fossil-fuel industry within 10 years.All told, the Green New Deal would cost an estimated $92 trillion, making it one of the most expensive legislative proposals in history.2. Climate Equity Act of 2020Harris’ Climate Equity Act would establish a Climate and Environmental Equity Office within the Congressional Budget Office. The new agency would be responsible for ensuring that far-left ideas about the alleged dangers of climate change are part of new legislation, regulations, and government investments related to any environmental or climate-change issue.The bill would also require government agencies to publish biannually “a climate and environmental justice accountability agenda” and ensure that proposed regulations include an “environmental justice analysis” when that rule might have “a significant impact on a substantial number of residents within frontline communities.”3. Medicare for All Act of 2019In 2019, Vermont’s socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I) introduced legislation that would create a government-run universal health care system in the United States. The legislation would effectively eliminate the modern private health insurance system and force nearly all Americans to become dependent on government for their health care needs. Harris cosponsored the socialist health care plan and then offered her own version of government-run health care as part of her short-lived 2020 presidential campaign.The Mercatus Center estimated the cost to taxpayers to cover Sanders’ health care proposal would be more than $32 trillion over a single decade.4. COVID-19 Bias and Anti-Racism Training Act of 2020During the height of the COVID-19 hysteria, Harris sponsored legislation to fund radical “anti-racism training” programs for health care providers. It also would mandate that the Department of Health and Human Services “develop requirements for bias and anti-racism training that aligns with continuing education requirements of applicable state licensing bodies, such as medical boards.”5. Saving Our Street ActIn 2020, Harris sponsored legislation called the Saving Our Street Act, which was sold as a COVID-19 aid program for small businesses. Unlike many other aid programs, however, Harris’ legislation would have required that the government “give priority to people of color, veterans, women-owned community businesses, and socially and economically disadvantaged individuals,” an overtly discriminatory and almost certainly unconstitutional provision.6. VoteSafe Act of 2020Harris’ VoteSafe Act would have forced all states and local jurisdictions to enact reforms in the 2020 election that would have significantly reduced election security. For example, the bill would have mandated nationwide “no-excuse” mail-in absentee voting, drop-off boxes for ballots, and online ballot requests. Although some states in 2020 ended up adopting some or all of these reforms, many did not.7. Maternal CARE ActThe Maternal CARE Act, a bill sponsored by Harris in 2019, would provide government funding for “health-professional training programs for training that addresses implicit bias (e.g., racial bias) in the practice of obstetrics and gynecology.”The claim that some groups have implicit racial biases against others is a highly disputed concept developed and promoted by far-left academics, and it is often used by progressive and socialist politicians as a trojan horse to introduce other left-wing concepts into workplaces and schools.8. DONE ActProposed by Harris in July 2019, the DONE Act would ban the Department of Homeland Security from building or expanding immigration detention facilities. Of course, without new or expanded facilities, government officials would need to deport or release into society many immigrants who come to America illegally. Since Harris opposes many forms of deportation, the only option remaining is to allow a seemingly unlimited number of immigrants who come to the United States illegally to travel freely throughout the country.9. Environmental Justice for All ActThe Environmental Justice for All Act, sponsored by Harris, would establish “several environmental justice requirements, advisory bodies, and programs to address the disproportionate adverse human health or environmental effects of federal laws or programs on communities of color, low-income communities, or tribal and indigenous communities.”More specifically, it would prohibit “disparate impacts on the basis of race, color, or national origin as discrimination.”Under this radical proposal, a government program or law would be required to ensure that the “impacts” of its provisions result in equitable outcomes for racial groups. This is an impossibility without government deliberately favoring some demographics over others, because no law could ever naturally result in perfectly equitable outcomes for all groups of people.10. Patsy T. Mink and Louise M. Slaughter Gender Equity in Education Act of 2018Harris was one of only 13 cosponsors of the Patsy T. Mink and Louise M. Slaughter Gender Equity in Education Act of 2018. The legislation would create a new Office for Gender Equity within the Department of Education. Among other powers, the new office would “provide grants and perform activities to reduce or prevent discrimination, bias, harassment, or violence based on actual or perceived sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions or stereotypes in all areas of education.”Although some of the bill’s goals are admirable, the bill’s focus on tackling “implicit bias” and provisions related to gender identity, among other components, would open the floodgates for federal bureaucrats to inject far-reaching, left-wing goals into local school districts. This would likely include policies that would force nearly all public schools to allow biological males to compete in girls’ sports.

If there’s anything Americans have figured out the past four years, it’s that Joe Biden definitely hasn’t been running the country. And Glenn Beck has a pretty good idea of who actually is. “We are all seeing policies being driven by an elite class within global institutions. The global institutions hold the power. They are doing everything right now to solidify it. We’re at the end stage right now,” Glenn says, noting that Kamala’s VP pick is one example of evidence that “the charade is over.” “Why did she pick another socialist to be her running mate, when you should have picked somebody either from Arizona or Pennsylvania where that would have helped you win?” Glenn says, adding, “The globalist elite cabals are showing everything.” And they truly are. Not only was there a failed assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, but there was a coup led on a sitting U.S. president right before our eyes. “Biden, despite millions of votes in the primary, just disregarded. Kicked out. Does it kind of feel like this might have been the design all along?” Glenn comments, noting that CNN drastically changed the debate rules to give Biden time to speak without interruption. “Was it so the entire country could see him bury himself?” Glenn asks. “One thing's for sure. After the debate, Joe Biden as the candidate, Joe Biden receiving legitimately 80 plus million votes, it wasn’t believable any longer. The charade was over.” But this isn’t just all about “democracy.” It’s about “an endless supply of dark money,” and the cabal lording over us controls a lot of it. Glenn points out that ActBlue, the left’s main small-donor fundraiser platform, reported $27.5 million in donations within the first five hours for Kamala Harris. Just hours later, that number nearly doubled to $46.7 million. And after 24 hours, it was reported they had raised over $90 million for the vice president. “Kamala Harris was so bad during the 2020 primary, maybe a dozen people voted for her. She was last. But now she’s igniting passion and shattering fundraising records,” Glenn says, unbelieving. The former Federal Election Commission chair has also said that “it’s quite clear” that Kamala Harris can just be gifted all of Joe Biden’s campaign funds — however, the current FEC Chair Sean Cooksey told Glenn in an interview on “The Glenn Beck Program” that this is “unprecedented,” and he hopes legal challenges follow soon, because the window is closing fast. “And why are they fighting so hard against Donald Trump?” Glenn asks. “Because he’s not playing this game. Over here, the clerics are replaced with radical billionaires.” Want more from Glenn Beck?To enjoy more of Glenn’s masterful storytelling, thought-provoking analysis, and uncanny ability to make sense of the chaos, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
