The Biden Presidency

Back when I was in the forecasting business I belonged to a lil group aptly called the Forecasters Club.

It was mostly a bunch of old farts who would meet once a month for lunch and had an annual contest where we entered forecasts for the upcoming year.

I also used to participate in the Wall Street Journal survey on behalf of my employer.

Without going too much into the details my track record compared favorably to my peers.

But my business focus is a bit different these days.

I was happy to engage you on what the Q2 number might be. And if it gives you a little pleasure to see me get the number wrong, well I'm happy for you.

Lol

"Man I used to be the best high school baseball player the world has ever known! I could have gone pro man!"

(Side note, comparing favorably to the Krugman's and Summers of the world is no tall task)

Compare the coverage to say a lie (embellishment) of crowd size to a straight up lie about selling out the country to foreign interests.

It may tell a reasonable person something about an agenda.
 
I mean a dose of real life and understanding is probably due to most.


And his being complicit in the situation…. Maybe?

I think it’s silly for the Biden administration to participate in semantics. His administration is particularly bad at controlling the narrative (which is especially interesting given how spectacular the Obama administration was at this).

But the technical definition of “recession” doesn’t have any meaning. It’s not like the label itself triggers policy or fed action.

This is Obama’s third term.

The only difference is now more than half the country knows the media is simply propaganda for the ruling class
 
Nancy has to go. No way she or the administration should allow themselves to be bullied into cancelling or even postponing the trip.

Btw when I went to Chinatown last year (in Nancy's district) I was amused by the sight of adjacent buildings flying dueling flags, one Taiwanese flag the other PRC's flag. I suspect the PRC supporters are a distinct minority.

No way. Obama is a legendary orator, and he staffed highly competent people in his administration. It also helps Barry didn’t have to worry about left fringe of his party undermining his policy goals.

Obama purged and filled the state department and every institution with hard ideologues that we are still paying for today

Not debating that can of worms. My point was Obama was a master at seizing the narrative while Scranton Joe couldn’t recommend an appetizer at this point (or at any other point if we are being honest.)
