Biden Spent 40% of Presidency on Vacation


Armstrong Economics Blog/USA Current Events Re-Posted Sep 1, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Karine Jean-Pierre must take a deep breath when Peter Doocy enters the room, hence why she rarely calls on him for a question. Doocy has become emboldened with his inquiries and is one of the only journalists willing to ask the tough questions. Doocy’s latest doozy: “It seems like the hurricane response so far is robust. Did you guys realize that the initial Hawaiian wildfire was not that good or is it just easier for people to get help from the White House when [Biden] is not on vacation?”

Biden’s propaganda specialist replied by saying the current administration replied in record time. “So, the premise of your question & the way you posed [it], I disagree…If you talk to…the governor…the folks on the ground, they would say…[he] reacted in record time,” KJP stated. Biden’s first response to the Maui fires was, “No comment.” The island was burning down and Biden sat idly on a beach Delaware for ten days without a care in the world. He offered the people of Maui $700, a mere fraction of what he gave to the people of Ukraine that same week, and did not rush to visit the island. The people did not want him to visit anyway.

The people of Maui booed Biden when he arrived and set up signs after he left to show how displeased they were. Biden made jokes about the ground being hot and then said he could empathize with the people who lost everything, as he once almost lost his corvette in a fire.

Joe Biden has spent 40% of his time in office on vacation. He has taken 360 vacation days since taking over the White House amid one of the worst multitudes of crises in US history. This proves that someone else is in control. No one in any occupation could take off 40% of the time and do their job effectively.

Democrats and Republicans Agree – Biden is Too Old for Office


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Aug 31, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Biden mumbles through every teleprompter script he’s forced to read. He is clearly suffering from a severe cognitive decline, and yet, his administration want to keep him in office. I believe this comes down more to cognitive functions rather than age, as Trump is considered an older candidate but extremely sharp. A new poll published by the Associated Press shows that Americans on both sides fear Joe is too old to run the country.

Overall, 77% of respondents said that Joe Biden cannot handle four more years due to his age. Around 89% of Republicans agreed, as did 69% of Democrats. Around half of respondents said that Trump, who is four years younger than Joe, is too old to lead. However, that view was overwhelmingly more present among Democrats.

Around 67% of respondents believe Supreme Court justices need an age limit, and 68% believe all politicians should be forced to retire by a certain age. We have 90-year-old politicians Dianne Feinstein clinging to both power and life. Senator Chuck Grassley remains in his position at 89-years-old. Pelosi was 5 when WWII ended. There are plenty of politicians who would be considered too old to be left at home alone, let alone to make major decisions on behalf of the public.

People hate Trump enough to vote for Joe Biden even though they know he’s unfit to serve. America needs term limits. I have long stated that permanent politicians must be removed from office. They are leeches to our society and serve no purpose other than serving themselves and their donors. Trump himself has stated that anyone running for the office of President of the United States should be required to take a full mental competency test. Age aside, look at people like Fetterman. Imagine if we allowed surgeons, pilots, or others in positions of power to work while knowingly mentally compromised? “Politician” should not be a permanent career choice, rather people should choose to serve their country for a fixed duration of time while bringing skills from other areas to the table.

ICYMI – James Comer Outlines Latest News From Hunter and Joe Biden Money Laundering Investigation


Posted originally on the CTH on June 30, 2023 | Sundance 

On Thursday morning House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer appeared on Fox News for an interview where he described the evidence of the FBI and U.S. Dept of Justice interfering in investigations about Biden family money laundering. {Direct Rumble Link}

Within the interview Comer outlines that the Biden family received over $20 million in funds from foreign government funds to influence policy. The Biden family then used limited liability corporations (LLC’s) to launder the money into non-existent family businesses.  The DOJ and FBI then blocked any inquiry and investigation into the process by the IRS and others.

Comer outlines the intent of congress to subpoena all of the people who were involved in the network.  When asked if congress “has the goods” to show proof behind the accusations against Biden, Comer responds with “yes.”   James Comer also states that Attorney General Bill Barr was told by the FBI that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation.

Biden: I Sold A Lot of State Secrets


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Jun 28, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

PRESIDENT BIDEN:  Okay.  We — I was just thanking the — anyway, I started off without you, and I sold a lot of state secrets and a lot of very important things that we shared.  (Laughter.)

The only time Joe Biden speaks the truth is when he goes off script. He has said it before that his people would be mad at him for speaking without direction. Biden is currently (not) under investigation for selling state secrets to Ukraine and China. We know without a shadow of a doubt that his son Hunter obtained lucrative business contracts overseas while traveling on Air Force Two. We’ve heard, “10% for the big guy,” with no investigation. Now, the POTUS is openly mocking us for being above the law.

“We’re — we’re going to see more technol- — technological change — you’ve heard me say this a number of times — in the next 10 years than we saw in the last 50 years — and maybe in the next few years — the last 50 years,” Biden eloquently said. “Sometimes it’s a little difficult to say too much in front of all the press present here,” Indian PM Modi responded, likely glad he has the BRICS pact to rely on after seeing Biden’s mental decline on full display. You can see Modi’s absolute shock when Biden ADMITS to selling state secrets. That was not a joke but a slip of the tongue.

Biden embarrassed the entire nation during his meeting with Modi in India. He saluted the Indian national anthem before slowly lowering his hand after his handlers told him that “The Star-Spangled Banner” was not playing. He refused to let go of Modi’s hand after walking down the podium, and his wife Jill was clearly flustered, not knowing where to stand. America looks weak because our leader is weak.

Biden has made a mockery of America and the due process of law. He implemented laws as a senator to punish men for crimes his own son committed without penalty. He has had his political opponents arrested in true dictator fashion. The intelligence agencies work for him, or at least for the deep state propping him up. And now, days after the WhatsApp message revealed Hunter used his father’s name for power, he “jokes” about selling state secrets. To quote Joe Biden himself, “This man cannot remain in power.”

House Releases Stunning Whistleblower Transcripts and Evidence of Biden Justice Department Interfering in IRS Case Against Hunter Biden


Posted originally on the CTH June 22, 2023 | Sundance 

The evidence released by the House Ways and Means Committee today is quite astonishing in detail.  In any normal political world, the transcripts, testimony and statements that were released today would destroy the top-tiers of any administration, including the President.

The evidence provided by direct testimony and through transcripts, emails and documents that support the testimony is comprehensive in scope.  The White House and DOJ claimed that US Attorney David Weiss was able to conduct his investigation of Hunter Biden however he needed, but consider this revelation of how much Main Justice intervened to protect Hunter Biden:

“U.S. Attorney of Delaware David Weiss tried to bring charges in District of Columbia around March 2022 and was denied. Weiss sought special counsel status from DOJ in the Spring of 2022 and was denied. Weiss sought to bring charges in the Central District of California in the Fall of 2022 and had that request denied in January 2023.” (link)

It’s not preferential treatment that is outlined in the way the DOJ handles and interfered in the Biden investigation. The evidence outlines something far beyond disparate treatment.  The transcripts for the whistleblower testimony are at the following links:

Whistleblower #1 redacted transcript ~ Whistleblower #1 redacted affidavit ~ Whistleblower #2 redacted transcript ~ Whistleblower #2 redacted supplemental submission ~ June 7, 2023 letter ~

WASHINGTON, D.C. – A Ways and Means Committee executive meeting resulted in a vote to release to the public whistleblower testimony of two different IRS employees who worked directly on the tax evasion case of Hunter Biden. That testimony outlines misconduct and government abuse at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in the investigation of Hunter Biden. The allegations point to a steady campaign of: unequal treatment of enforcing tax law; Department of Justice (DOJ) interference in the form of delays, divulgences, and denials, into the investigation of tax crimes that may have been committed by the President’s son; and finally, retaliation against IRS employees who blew the whistle on the misconduct.

Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (MO-08) released the following statement:

“Today, the Ways and Means Committee voted to make public the testimony of IRS employees blowing the whistle on misconduct at the IRS and the Biden Department of Justice regarding unequal enforcement of tax law, interference and government abuse in the handling of investigations into criminal activity by President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, and retaliation against IRS employees blowing the whistle on this abuse.

“The American people deserve to know that when it comes to criminal enforcement, they are not on the same playing field as the wealthy and politically connected class. The preferential treatment Hunter Biden received would never have been granted to ordinary Americans.

“Whistleblowers describe how the Biden Justice Department intervened and overstepped in a campaign to protect the son of Joe Biden by delaying, divulging, and denying an ongoing investigation into Hunter Biden’s alleged tax crimes. The testimony shows tactics used by the Justice Department to delay the investigation long enough to reach the statute of limitations, evidence they divulged sensitive actions by the investigative team to Biden’s attorneys, and denied requests by the U.S. Attorney to bring charges against Biden.

“IRS employees who blew the whistle on this abuse were retaliated against, despite a commitment IRS Commissioner Werfel made before the Ways and Means Committee to uphold their legal protections. They were removed from this investigation after they responsibly worked through the chain of command to raise these concerns.

“The Committee has acted in good faith with participation from both Democrats and Republicans, as the issues raised today ought to be a bipartisan concern. Hopefully we can find a path forward to continue to go where the facts lead us. If the federal government is not treating all taxpayers equally, or if it is changing the rules to engineer a preferred outcome, Congress has a duty to ask why and to hold agencies accountable and consider appropriate legislative action. The scales of justice must not be skewed in favor of the wealthy and the politically connected.”

The federal government is not treating all taxpayers the same – and providing preferential treatment to the wealthy and well-connected, including the son of the President of the United States.

♦ Despite the fact that IRS officials recommended that Hunter Biden be charged with criminal activity that includes attempts to evade or defeat taxes, fraud and false statements, and willful failures to file returns, supply information, or pay taxes for over $8.3 million in income, Mr. Biden received preferential treatment in the course of the investigation, and has struck a plea deal that will likely keep him out from behind bars. Meanwhile…

♦ In 2014, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida announced that a man was sentenced to 13 months in prison to be followed by a year of supervised release for failing to file an income tax return, the same misdemeanor tax offense that Hunter Biden was charged with.

The Department of Justice interfered in the investigation into Hunter Biden’s clear tax issues with a “Delay, Divulge, and Deny” campaign – that ultimately shielded him by allowing the statute of limitations to pass on his tax crimes.

♦ DELAY: Recurring unjustified delays pervaded the investigation, including in authenticating the message between Hunter Biden and Chinese officials. Investigators were told by U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf that “there is no way” a search warrant for evidence would get approved because the evidence of interest would be found in the guest house of former Vice President Biden.

♦ DIVULGE: Investigators found out that attorneys for Hunter Biden were tipped off about actions relating to the investigation in advance. For example, even as investigators had probable cause to search a Northern Virginia storage unit in which Hunter Biden had stored files, attorneys for Biden were tipped off.

♦ DENY: U.S. Attorney of Delaware David Weiss tried to bring charges in District of Columbia around March 2022 and was denied. Weiss sought special counsel status from DOJ in the Spring of 2022 and was denied. Weiss sought to bring charges in the Central District of California in the Fall of 2022 and had that request denied in January 2023.

IRS employees worked through the chain of command to blow the whistle on this misconduct – only to be met with hostility and retaliation, leading them to come to the Ways and Means Committee.

♦ Actions were taken to cut the IRS investigative team out of the process after they raised concerns up their chain of command. One whistleblower was not selected for a position, when he was more qualified than the candidate who was selected. Limits and pauses have been placed on other, unrelated investigations that the whistleblowers are working on – which hamper the investigators’ ability to do their work or advance. The whistleblowers and their entire team were removed from the investigation on May 15, 2023, after blowing the whistle to Congress. (link)

Student Loan Forgiveness Promise Backfires


Armstrong Economics Blog/Education Re-Posted Jun 21, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The student loan forgiveness plan backfired plain and simple. Payments were frozen three years ago in March 2020 under the CARES Act when countless people were out of work and the program made sense. Then Biden campaigned on a promise to eliminate a portion of that debt with no real plan in place. One must wonder if he thought his lofty promise to buy votes was even a possibility. The Education Department announced that debtors must resume payments by October, and interest on those loans will resume in September. This will affect 44 million Americans. The country is dependent on consumer spending for a third of GDP, and the average American’s disposable income is dwindling amid the overall increased cost of living and taxation to fund reckless government spending. The one-issue voters who backed the Dems for this reason may want to reconsider their choice come November.

The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) conducted a study that found the promise of forgiving debts actually created a worse financial situation for many Americans. Household leverage rose 3% during this pause as borrowers increased their private debts. “Comparing borrowers whose loans were frozen with borrowers whose loans were not frozen due to differences in whether the government owned the loans, we show that borrowers used the new liquidity to increase borrowing on credit cards, mortgages, and auto loans rather than avoid delinquencies,” the study found. So the study found that these people were more likely to accumulate credit card debt, which is at an all-time high. They also found that these individuals were more likely to direct the funds for mortgages and auto loans, which may be at an all-time high for this particular generation of younger adults.

Countless people truly believed their federal student loan payments would vanish in thin air. It is hard to blame them as the president repeatedly promised he had the power to make this happen. Some who left school in 2020 have never made a student loan payment or factored that cost into their monthly expenses. Over 7.5 million borrowers have already defaulted on their student loans. There will be a major issue here once these borrowers see their monthly expenses rise by a few hundred dollars.

Fetterman and Biden – Why We Need Cognitive Tests for Politicians


Blog/Politics

Posted Jun 21, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Spread the love

I-95, a major roadway going through Philadelphia, collapsed. People were understandably concerned and looked to their elected officials for answers. I cannot imagine a more inept team than Biden and Fetterman. Some joke and mock the two men, but if you step back and really look at what is happening within the Democrat Party, it is completely astonishing. This is why confidence in America is declining rapidly.

When will everyone agree that the Democrats have gone too far? I am not mocking these men for having cognitive impairments, but they are completely unfit to serve their country. They would step down gracefully instead of clinging to power if they actually loved their nation and cared about the people. Cut off the puppet strings. In no other profession would people turn a blind eye to this behavior. A teacher could not stand in front of a classroom and mumble through a lecture spouting nonsense, and a businessman could not attend a meeting and forget his speaking points. No one could turn up to work in a sweatshirt and shorts to be relatable, as they would not be taken seriously. This is not acceptable. Do the people voting for these characters realize they’re in charge of making major decisions that affect our society? Look at Dianne Feinstein and others who refuse to relinquish their seats even though they cannot serve.

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley is demanding both term limits and cognitive tests for politicians. She wants politicians over 75 to receive these exams, but ALL should be subject to one. You could not serve in the military or serve your community without a clear mind. I have long stated that permanent politicians must be removed from office. They are leeches to our society and serve no purpose other than serving themselves and their donors. Haley’s comments on cognition tests for those over 75 were also intended as a jab at Donald Trump, who is now 77. “ANYBODY running for the Office of President of the United States should agree to take a full & complete Mental Competency Test,” Trump said in response. We must question those who believe that the people are not entitled to know if their leaders are fit to serve.
