"Jared Bernstein has once again demonstrated his complete ignorance of both economic theory and fact—an alarming trait for the chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers. In his attempts to defend the abysmal record of “Bidenomics,” Bernstein is resorting to misrepresenting data and making false statements.
That does nothing to ease the financial pain of the middle class. Worse, Bernstein’s economically illiterate statements are dismissive of the plight the Biden administration helped inflict on Americans.
A prime example is Bernstein’s whitewashing of our nation’s burgeoning credit card debt, which has surpassed $1 trillion for the first time. Even as interest rates soar, Americans are increasingly relying on credit cards to make ends meet. But when confronted with these facts, Bernstein claimed that the financing costs for consumers have declined relative to disposable personal income, which is not true.

Both credit card debt and the interest rate charged on that debt are at record highs. Bernstein’s attempt to dismiss these figures because of the growth in disposable personal income only displays his ignorance of the data—despite its being produced by the very administration of which he is a part.

While disposal personal income has risen 3.8 percent under President Joe Biden, credit card debt has risen 34 percent, and interest rates are up 40 percent—roughly 10 times the increase in disposable personal income. That makes Bernstein’s claim about financing costs on credit cards relative to incomes being lower today mathematically impossible.

To save the Biden administration narrative, Bernstein has tried comparing today’s situation to conditions before the pandemic. In that case, he is still wrong. Although disposable personal income outpaced credit card debt (18 percent versus 11 percent, from February 2020 until today), interest rates on credit cards are still up 37 percent.
The higher interest rate is a vital consideration, because the amount of interest charged on a credit card is a function of both the card’s balance and its interest rate. The combination of more credit card debt and higher interest rates makes it mathematically impossible for financing costs on credit cards relative to incomes to be lower today than before the pandemic, directly contradicting Bernstein’s claim.

And his rhetoric becomes laughable once inflation is considered. Because the buying power of the dollar has declined about 17 percent under Biden, real disposable personal income has declined 8.3 percent.

The higher cost of living means people have less money at the end of the month to pay down their credit cards and other debts.

And it’s the growing amount of consumer debt that is sustaining today’s spending levels, another fact of which Bernstein seems blissfully unaware. While he praised the growth in consumer spending in July, he neglected to acknowledge that there was no income growth that month, meaning the extra spending came from a depletion of savings and an expansion of debt.

That’s completely unsustainable, especially in an environment of rising interest rates. What is Bernstein’s answer? Platitudes like: “We want households to have some breathing room. We want their real wages to keep going up.”
But before real wages can keep going up, they need to start going up. Real weekly earnings fell in July, and the August report will show a second consecutive drop. The Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland estimates that real weekly earnings are down 4.9 percent since Biden took office.
Inflation has outpaced wage growth by such a wide margin under Biden that at no time in his presidency have the weekly earnings of the average American worker been able to buy what they could when he was inaugurated.

Thus far, the only “breathing room” provided to American families by the Biden administration is underwater.
This disconnect between administration narrative and economic reality is not surprising, given that Bernstein is not an economist. His degrees are in music, philosophy, and social work. He doesn’t even seem to understand the statistics published by the administration, including the ones he boldly quotes in interviews.
With economic advisers like Bernstein, it’s no wonder that Bidenomics has the United States staring down the barrel of another recession."

Even more dangerous is both are possibly on record stating the greatest threat to the country is white supremacy which means they are probably going to be given a green light to spy domestically trying to find said white supremacists/non-democrat voters. Their so called threat to democracy. The next phase for the marxists.

It would not surprise me as they get more desperate the closer we get to the 2024 election the propaganda campaign will go into hyperdrive and the federal law enforcement actions will attempt to ramp up. Watch.

In a way it's surprising there aren't more. This scheme of moving agencies under other agencies like DHS and creating a new pointy head pyramid is nuts. It just adds new layers of bureaucracy and probably makes all the departments under the umbrella even more useless and immovable. Yeah, the president has fewer direct reports to manage, but it's still like pushing a firehose of information through a drinking straw. Chances are the guy at the top doesn't know half of what he needs to understand the workings of all the disparate groups under him, but it makes for a nice tidy org chart ... following BS (business school) logic. The worst part is that with a biased idiot like Mayorkas at the top, he can cause even more widespread damage.

Time to can the UN. It was a good idea, but then it "federalized" into a wannabe world government. That's the way it will always be: the top level of "governance" whether invested with real power or not will always assume power. Our federal government is a prime example; the EU is federalism coalescing; and the UN is working hard to assume world dominance. It's almost like a corollary of nature abhorring a vacuum ... and those upper bodies seeing themselves as a vacuum needing power.

You know full well white people are dangerous. They built this country. It functions - unlike Africa, it's somewhat free of the corruption that restrains S and Central America and parts of Asia - for the time being, and it's not encumbered by the religion of the Middle East - for now.

More govt assault on the 2nd amendment. Get your lawyers ready.

President Joe Biden is creating the first-ever federal office of gun violence prevention, according to two people familiar with the plans.

“The creation of an Office of Gun Violence Prevention in the White House will mark a turning point in how our federal government responds to an epidemic that plagues every state and every community in America," said Kris Brown, president of the gun safety group Brady, which has advocated for the office since 2020.

EXCLUSIVE: Hundreds of African Migrants sneak into the US in broad daylight after Exploiting Immigration Loophole in Nicaragua that allows them in with no questions asked for just $160​

  • DailyMail.com traveled to Lukeville, Arizona, and saw at least 600 migrants, many of them African refugees, crossing the southern border on one day alone
Baba, a mechanic from the West African nation of Mauritania threw himself to the ground and prayed seconds after squeezing through the steel fence at the Mexican border in Arizona.

'Joe Biden opened the door for us,' he gleefully yelled as dusk fell and the migrants waited to be picked up and processed by U.S. authorities.

Border crossings RETURN to levels from before Title 42 was dropped: 8,000 are apprehended in a DAY and 20,000 are in custody - just 18 weeks after Biden insisted there would be no more 'chaos'​


U.S. border apprehensions hit 8,000 on Monday – on part with a spike on the eve of the ending of Title 42 – as a Mexican rail operator suspended northbound trains because so many migrants were hopping aboard freight cars at personal risk.

The rise in apprehensions come after levels dropped after the administration ended Title 42 after a long court fight and put in new procedures meant to lower incentives and push more migrants into an online application process.

More govt waste.

President Joe Biden on Wednesday will launch the "American Climate Corps," according to the White House, which described it as "a workforce training and service initiative" for more than 20,000 Americans "that will ensure more young people have access to the skills-based training necessary for good-paying careers in the clean energy and climate resilience economy."

"The American Climate Corps, just in its first year of recruitment, will put to work a new, diverse generation of more than 20,000 Americans doing the important tasks of conserving and restoring our lands and waters, bolstering community resilience, deploying clean energy -- in many cases, distributed and community based -- implementing energy efficiency technologies that will cut consumer costs for the American people, and advancing environmental justice so long overdue in so many places," Biden's national climate adviser, Ali Zaidi, told reporters during a telephone call on Monday.

A major part of the initiative, according to Zaidi, will be teaming up with apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship programs across the country and pushing more Americans from diverse backgrounds into these programs -- ultimately resulting in well-paying jobs for them, thanks to funding from Biden's climate legislation.

Americans will be able to sign up online for the American Climate Corps, which the White House said will train young people in clean energy, conservation and climate resilience related skills. There will be a focus on climate justice, too, with an emphasis on helping underserved communities, according to the White House.

VIDEO: Migrants Force Their Way into Mexican Government Building Demanding Travel Documents​


1695260916092.png

A large group of migrants scuffled with authorities as they forced open the entrance to a Mexican government building in the southern border city of Tapachula, Chiapas. The migrants were awaiting travel documents that Mexican officials promised would allow them to continue their journey to the U.S. border.

1695261006870.png
The scuffle took place on Monday morning at the offices of Mexico’s Commission for Refugee Help (COMAR) in the city of Tapachula, just north of the border with Guatemala. There, thousands of migrants had gathered as they waited for Mexican officials to open and begin applying for travel documents. Mexican police forces arrived at the scene in an attempt to control the crowds. However, without notice, the migrants began to push their way into the building.
