Democrats Against Biden Re-Posted Nov 9, 2023 By Martin Armstrong

I had phone calls from Washington today. What is clear is that this Israeli-Palestinian War is indeed undermining even the political support for Biden within the Democratic Party. As I said on the phone today, Biden is not in charge. I have warned them that this is Blinken and Nuland and they better wake up. The White House is in full control of the Neocons, and they are running amuck. They fear a Trump victory, and from their viewpoint, they feel that they have to start a war to entrap even the next president.

Democratic support for President Joe Biden is wavering considerably. Behind the curtain, some are pushing for him to bow out of the 2024 election and let someone else run. When it comes to this Israeli-Palestinian War, with a rising number of Democrats, including former President Barack Obama, the killing of Palestinian civilians is just not acceptable.

Pentagon Now Admits Two Dozen U.S. Military Personnel Were Injured During Drone Attacks on U.S. Bases – Biden Was Napping on the Beach


Posted originally on the CTH on October 24, 2023 | Sundance 

Several people have questioned why the U.S. injuries were not reported at the time of the attack.  The answer is simple, Joe Biden was sleeping on the beach at the time of the events. It wouldn’t look good, so the injuries were withheld until today.

(VIA NBC) -Two dozen American military personnel were wounded last week in a series of drone attacks at American bases in Iraq and Syria, U.S. Central Command told NBC News on Tuesday.

The Pentagon confirmed the attacks last week, but the number of U.S. casualties has not been previously disclosed.

Twenty American personnel sustained minor injuries on Oct. 18 when at least two one-way attack drones targeted al-Tanf military base in southern Syria, CENTCOM said.

One of the drones was shot down. All of the wounded personnel were returned to duty, CENTCOM said, and there was no damage to any military installations.

On that same day, another four American personnel suffered minor injuries during two separate drone attacks against U.S. and coalition forces stationed at al-Asad base in western Iraq, CENTCOM said. (read more)

Two dozen U.S. military injured, Biden does nothing.

Joe Biden’s 60 Minute Interview on Gaza Is the Saddest Media Display I Have Ever Witnessed

Good grief, if the stakes of this issue were not so high, I probably would not have watched this. Alas, a review was necessary to judge the competency of policy.  What follows is beyond sad.

I know many readers here will not like the thought of watching pudding brain mutter his way through a carefully edited and controlled interview by a corporate outlet intent on presenting Biden in the best possible light.  However, you only really need to watch the introduction by CBS host, Scott Pelley.

Never before have I seen a more transparently pathetic political defense presented as the introduction to an interview of a U.S. president. Pelley was apologetic toward Biden in the extreme, leading the viewer into an interview with prescripted justification and excuses for the content that would follow.  Watching Pelley set up this interview elicits a sense of embarrassment that such a set-up is needed.   When he gets into the interview, Pelley actually constructs the talking points for Biden, with explanations and outlines that provide simple yes/no answers from Biden.  This interview is so soft, it becomes pathetic to watch:

Joe Biden Joins Tens of Auto Union Workers on Picket Line Rallying for Economic and Social Justice


Posted originally on the CTH on September 26, 2023 | Sundance 

Don’t pretend. The media are pitching this with full pretense.  Instead, look at the data carefully.  Tens of thousands of UAW members are on strike for better pay and benefits.   The installed occupant of the oval office makes a “historic” visit to the picket line.   About two dozen workers are there.  Think about it.

Look at the optics.  Do you think for one second that Team Obama would let their principal appear in such a smattering of support?  Not a chance.  This “crowd” might as well have had circles around their place to stand.  Joe Biden spent about an hour in Michigan before tripping back onto the plane and heading to meet Gavin Newsom in California.

Michigan – […] The move also appeared to be a clear counter to former President Donald Trump, who plans to visit Michigan on Wednesday instead of participating in the second Republican primary debate — the latest sign that both candidates have moved beyond the primary phase of the election and are focused on November 2024.

But for Biden, too, Tuesday’s trip suggested that he can’t take labor support for granted. Union leadership has already rallied behind the president’s reelection bid, but that hasn’t necessarily translated into support from rank-and-file members who have slowly been drifting away from the Democratic Party and who make up an important part of the electorate in must-win states for Biden. The UAW has held off on endorsing Biden, although it has made clear they will not support Trump.

After Biden’s remarks, Fain grabbed the bull horn and the president stepped back into the crowd. Biden put his arm around one striker as Fain thanked him for joining the picket line. The crowd cheered.

“Thank you for coming to stand up with us in our generation’s defining moment. And we know the president will do right by the working class,” Fain said. “And when we do right by the working class, you can leave the rest to us because we’re going to take care of this business.”

Reporters later asked the president if he supported a 40 percent wage increase for the auto workers. The union members surrounding him shouted “yes,” and after waiting a moment, Biden, too, said yes. (read more)

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.

Confidence Declining


Armstrong Economics Blog/Gov’t Incompetence Re-Posted Aug 30, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Marty, I just wanted to thank you for opening my eyes. The logic that the market commentators make no sense. Bloomberg wrote, “Bets on a rate hike in 2023 fell after worse-than-expected economic numbers bolstered hopes the Fed can pause in September.” So you are right. They are cheering worse economic numbers because interest rates will decline. You are correct. Rising interest rates show demand for money and an expanding economy. But rates decline with economic declines, and stocks typically drop. I feel stupid that I never saw that for myself. It seems people are losing confidence in the government with this persecution of Trump and hiding the corruption of the Bidens. Everyone you talk to is just fed up with politicians.

No wonder the mainstream press will never quote you because you make sense.

Cheers

PS Stay safe with this storm. We do need you.

REPLY: I understand what you are saying. I realized that the analysis changed after 1929 because we became socialists when I wrote The Great Bull Market in History in 1986. What did the Fed want us to do? How high should we jump? The economy is preparing to turn down with the ECM by May 2024. Consumer Confidence among Americans dropped the most in two years. Many of my clients overseas now see the fate of America much more clearly than domestic Americans. They view that once the Democrats have used the law to persecute Trump legally while the evidence about corruption with the Bidens goes unanswered, the confidence in government is collapsing.

I fear they will rush this whole CBDC agenda and move toward a much more Totalitarian State because they can feel their power slipping through their fingers. This abuse of the law is one of the critical issues that precede the decline and fall of a nation.

There is clear evidence that supports an impeachment trial is not a criminal prosecution of Biden and his son. Documents have surfaced that show that Joe Biden was NOT acting in line with U.S. policy as VP when he threatened to withhold aid to Ukraine until Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin was fired! That was personal and not the policy of the US government. The prosecutor Shokin was investigating the precise corruption at Burisma Holdings, which paid Hunter Biden over $1,000,000. Shokin says that the Biden’s were bribed to terminate his investigation. While the Democrats want to imprison Trump, they refuse to discuss any of these documents because they knowingly used these exact lies as the pretense of impeaching President Trump.

There is now an October 2015 memo that summarizes the recommendation of the Interagency Policy Committee. That task force was created to advise the Obama White House on the notorious corruption in Ukraine and whether they were trying to clean it up. That was necessary for more aid. These documents show that U.S. policy did not call for a threat to withhold funding unless this prosecutor investigating corruption was fired.

Biden made the threat in December 2015, two months after the memo was published, and no other documents show the U.S. policy called for Shokin to be fired. On top of that, even the IMF in FEBRUARY 2016 threatened to cut off funding for Ukraine unless they showed progress in reforming corruption.

By November 2016, Biden is telling Poroshenko not to ask for any more money for Trump may start to investigate. I know Ukraine. I was asked to take them on as a client, and the first words were we can pay you offshore so you do not have to pay taxes. I said thank you very much, but I declined. You cannot imagine the level of corruption in Ukraine. It is the MOST corrupt government perhaps ever to have existed anywhere in the world, no matter what decade or century.

Prosecuting Trump and all of these prosecutors coordinating these attacks while the Justice Department does NOTHING with the Bidens is indeed collapsing the confidence in government. This is all part of the decline and fall of Republics, which is what 2032 is all about. I have a lot on my table right now. Another book I am working on is a review of the various forms of government and what worked and what failed – the good – the bad – the ugly. This will probably be read in January.

The last book is now out at Barnes & Noble on the truth behind Cleopatra – the real version, not the WOKE nonsense that she was black. I used the coinage to show the real story, where there was no steamy love affair; she was a brilliant woman who used Mark Antony to create a civil war in hopes that the once great empire of Alexander the Great would defeat Rome and her son by Julius Caesar would restore the throne of the Ptolemies. The Legionary Denarii of Mark Antony was funded by Cleopatra, and up to 100 years later, the amount of money was so great that these coins accounted for 20% of the money supply a century later. Sorry, whatever movie you watched or were taught in school was fake news.

Former NY Gov Predicts Mass Uprising Over Migrants


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Aug 23, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Ex-NY Gov. David Paterson (D) admitted that he sees revolt as the only solution to the migrant crisis. The Democrat and former governor said he does not understand the open border policy. “The federal government just decided they are sending the people in, and we should just be happy. I don’t know what it is that they expect. They sent really no money,” Paterson said. “It could in some ways backfire when other cities have the same problem as New York City. There might be a kind of city-vs.-country revolt — which we probably need at this point.”

This is on target with our models that say 2024 will be an ugly year for democracy. The cost of living is unsustainable, and instead of proposing solutions, we see our leaders sending our funds to Ukraine and focusing on transexuals and controlling the weather. Biden’s vast corruption is blatant and ever staunch liberals cannot deny that he has interests elsewhere. His tone-deaf response to Maui and repeated stumbles show that he is incapable of managing even a bubble gum machine. But now, as poverty rises with the declining economy, people will not stand to see outsiders reap the benefits of government aid at their expense. Again, the borders were strategically opened as our government permitted a mass invasion.

All of the blue sanctuary cities are declaring a state of emergency over the number of migrants that continue to arrive. They have no solutions and their brain-dead proposals are leaving Americans vulnerable as undocumented unknown aliens, mostly military-aged men, roam the streets. Notice how tons of these undocumented aliens are not even from South America, but that is merely how they entered. Lone young men from around the world have infiltrated our society and are crippling our cities economically.

The virtue signaling and pandering of the far-left has serious repercussions. The White House thinks they are controlling the chaos, but the people are at a breaking point. Inflation and the migrant crisis are the only extremely heated bipartisan issues that everyone agrees on. As I said recently, Rome had peace for 1,000 years because everyone benefitted. No one is benefitting from the corrupt political environment we have today, and people are finally realizing they do not live in a real democracy.
