A day after President Joe Biden drew criticism from conservatives on social media for giving unsolicited dating advice to a young teen girl in California, the president is again in hot water for claiming the "economy is strong as hell." The comment came during a conversation with a reporter at a Baskin Robbins in Portland, Oregon, who asked the president if he had any worry about the strength of the U.S. dollar amid rising inflation. With a chocolate chip ice cream cone in his hand, Biden answered: "I’m not concerned about the strength of the dollar.
I’m concerned about the rest of the world. Our economy is strong as hell." US President Joe Biden stops for ice cream at Baskin Robbins in Portland, Oregon, October 15, 2022. (SAUL LOEB/AFP via Getty Images) He added: "Inflation is worldwide. It’s worse off than it is in the United States.
So the problem is the lack of economic growth and sound policy in other countries not so much ours." "It’s worldwide inflation. It’s consequential," Biden also said. The comment came immediately after Biden criticized UK Prime Minister Liz Truss’s economic plan as "a mistake." "I was not the only one that thought it was a mistake," he said.
"I think the idea of cutting taxes on the super-wealthy at a time when — anyway, I disagreed with the policy but that’s up to Great Britian to make that judgment, not me." Biden visited Portland Friday as part of a three-state tour in the Western U.S. to rally turnout for the upcoming midterm elections. Biden also visited California and intends to visit Colorado before heading back to Washington, D.C. His visit to Portland was particularly notable as Democrats are in a position to potentially lose the governor’s mansion for the first time in decades,

facing the new administration on COVID-19 and national security. The administration’s economic record, which has featured the highest inflation in 40 years, the end of US energy independence and controversial giveaways like college-loan forgiveness, is completely ignored.

U.K. Prime Minister Liz Truss' push to cut taxes for her country's highest earners was a "mistake," President Biden stated Saturday. Truss was forced to scrap large portions of her tax plan last week amid market turmoil and disintegrating public confidence.

Fifty-one current and former U.S. intelligence community officials signing onto a 2020 letter claiming the Hunter Biden laptop bombshell had the hallmarks of a "Russian information operation" was itself a deep state operation against the people of the United States, Jesse Watters said Wednesday on "The Five." Watters and other panelists on "The Five" criticized one signatory, ex-CIA intel officer and Lawfare blogger David Priess, for being a part of the signature campaign. Priess told "Special Report" on Tuesday it is not his fault if the letter was misconstrued by the public or Joe Biden – who appeared to cite it during a presidential debate as proof the story about his son was indeed Kremlin disinformation.
It has been announced that the UK's economy shrank unexpectedly in August, which is continuing to spark fears of a recession.
Former Central Intelligence Agency officer David Priess defended being a signatory on a letter with more than two dozen other current and former intel agents and experts who claimed the New York Post's Hunter Biden laptop bombshell looked like a "Russian information operation." In October 2020, the Post broke the story about how then-Wilmington computer shopkeeper John-Paul Mac Isaac came into possession of the laptop first son Hunter Biden left at his store near Trolley Square. A copy of the hard drive was provided to the FBI and another to former New York City Republican Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. "It is for all these reasons that we write to say that the arrival on the US political scene of emails purportedly belonging to Vice President Biden’s son Hunter, much of it related to his time serving on the Board of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma, has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation," Priess and fellow signatories wrote in-part.
President Biden acknowledged the possibility of what he described as a "slight recession" could occur in the near future. It was determined back in July that the U.S. suffered back-to-back consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth, which has long been the indicator of a recession. However, both the Biden administration and many members of the media have dismissed that long-standing definition. During an interview on Tuesday, CNN's Jake Tapper asked the president, "Should the American people prepare for a recession?" "No," Biden initially responded.
Zack Sharf Christopher Meloni and former Donald Trump advisor and speechwriter Stephen Miller engaged in a war of words on Twitter that ended with the “Law & Order” favorite telling Miller, “Stick to writing fascist speeches.” It all started when Meloni reacted to Lauren Boebert’s latest “Let’s go Brandon!” post. The phrase is commonly used in Republican circles as an insult to Joe Biden. As the Associated Press reported in 2021, the term is “conservative code for something far more vulgar: ‘Fuck Joe Biden.'” “There’s gotta be a Stupid Prize gop reps are competing for,” Meloni tweeted at Boebert, a Republican gun activist who serves as the U.S. representative for Colorado’s 3rd congressional district. Boebert once wore a dress with “Let’s go Brandon” printed on it and posed with Trump for a photo.
Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Sunday categorized President Biden’s quickly notorious Armageddon comment regarding the nuclear risk posed by Russia as "reckless" and demonstrating "maybe one of the greatest foreign policy failures of the last decades." "Oh my goodness. First of all those comments were reckless.
The Washington Post editorial board did not mince words about President Joe Biden’s attempts to persuade the Saudi Arabian government into helping with U.S. energy policy, saying the administration "failed" "badly." The board claimed that OPEC – heavily influenced by the Saudis – recently slashing "crude oil production by 2 million barrels per day," is a "setback" for Biden agenda, the United States and its allies. The Saturday editorial stated that OPEC’s decision "is not quite as big of a shock as the embargo OPEC imposed on the United States between October 1973 and March 1974.
If President Joe Biden was looking for a gift for former President Jimmy Carter’s 98th birthday, his mishandling of the OPEC situation sure fits the bill. For all the current administration’s shortcomings and failures, they have been remarkably effective at waging war on America’s energy producers.
The Biden administration is preparing to designate its first new national monument, preserving a World War 2-era alpine training site and providing a boost to the reelection campaign of the state’s senior senator, Michael Bennet, according to a person familiar with the process. The designation is expected to come next week, when the president will join Bennet, a fellow Democrat, and other elected officials in Colorado, according to the person, who declined to be identified discussing the designation before it is formally announced.
