| Wednesday Morning Rant [Joe Mannix]![]() But who - or what - is he fronting? It is clear to me that he is not fronting any one person or even a small, tight-knit cabal that is actually in charge. What he's fronting appears to be an enormous complex of competing committees. There have been many examples, but the two big ones in my mind are the Afghanistan withdrawal and the COVID wind-down. Afghanistan was so poorly managed that the most reasonable explanation I can come up with is competing power bases - the left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing. One group was closing Bagram while the other was planning to use it and had to retrench. One group was preparing to shift equipment and ongoing support to the Afghan army, the other was planning a full bug-out. The power networks collided in the deadly debacle of the final act. COVID has been slower-motion but similar. What I call the "COVID is over" faction starting sending up trial balloons just before Delta hit. The "COVID forever" faction won that round. The "over" faction tried again in December(ish) of last year, just as Omicron was hitting. They were more successful and went harder at it. They have ultimately won the war, though the occasional battle is still being fought. And Biden has been right there saying that both sides are right all the while. Sometimes COVID is over, sometimes COVID is never over. Sometimes Afghanistan was just bad luck and Trump's fault. Other times, it all went according to plan and was the Afghan government's fault. It likely depends on which faction is feeding him his talking points. Then there are the other things, like inviting Russia to invade Ukraine. Was that him stupidly regurgitating what he heard at classified briefings? Was it his own creation? Was it one faction, whereas another wanted military intervention? Ditto his comments on Taiwan, or on energy policy. The problem is that any of those explanations - and numerous more besides - are all plausible because Biden is very clearly not in charge of anything. The committees - committees that appear to be in competition at best and more likely working at cross purposes - are in charge. Rule by committee can function - albeit ineffectively and inefficiently - when stability is the norm of the day. Rule by committee is disastrous during a crisis because the buck stops ... nowhere. And, of course, rule by committee is a great way to engender crises.Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

With the midterms less than two months away, President Biden will no longer be able to tout falling gas prices. For the first time in nearly 100 days, gas prices rose, up to $3.681 on Wednesday from $3.674. After sinking every day for more than three months, US gas prices edged higher – by a penny – to $3.68 a gallon, on average Wednesday, according to AAA. That ends 98 consecutive days of falling pump prices, the second-longest such streak on record going back to 2005.

Very perceptive post.
The Democrat Junta defaults to a schoolyard adolescent presumption of invincibility. Nothing they can do will actually hurt the economy, so go ahead and promise money to everyone. Close down the economy for a pandemic and, no worries, everyone will shortly be back to work just as always. No foreign adversary can really defeat us on the battlefield, so feel free to walk away from inconvenient struggles and trust the world will still fear us. Make insane comments about defending Taiwan from 6,000 miles away, and no one will react negatively.

I think Biden does whatever his aides and his Chinese masters tell him to do or say. He has no cohesive thoughts, so he just reads the teleprompter and walks off after he's done.

The problem with Covid being over is that Biden's only very weak justification for using his EO to unilaterally give $10,000+ debt forgiveness to college loan deadbeats was that we were in a Covid emergency. If there is no emergency he doesn't have any justification at all.
The lies are catching up. Posted by: JackStraw at September 21, 2022 11:08 AM (ZLI7S) 22
I think that a lot of the controversies come from the Deep State versus the politico types. The Deep State, which by itself it not cohesive, to advance institutional goals. The politico types look to advance power goals and perhaps financial goals as well. The politico types are obsessed with optics while the Deep State is entranced by their own institutional goals and do not fear retribution at the polls. So you get idiotic raids on Trump's house for the Deep State DOJ types while the politico types have to figure out who takes the heat for it. Afghanistan was an example of the State and intel community v. DoD deep staters feuds with the politicos left with the fallout. And so on.

"Afghanistan was so poorly managed that the most reasonable explanation I can come up with is competing power bases"
* It went exactly as planned. The Taliban controlled 25% of Afghanistan when we arrived. They control 100% now that we've left, because we acted as their proxy and took it over to give it to them. And don't miss the part where they have more and better military equipment than something like 80% of other nations now, too. Also on purpose, btw. Remember when Biden had the night vision stuff flown in right before he knew we were abandoning the country?

Also directly related to COVID and important, and something I haven't seen posted:
The VP for EcoHealth - the funding behind the Wuhan lab and the corporation tied directly to the Biden family - stated under oath that Fauci was directly responsible for COVID: "Anthony Fauci funded the creation of SARS-COV2 and lied to Congress about funding Gain-of-Function work," Renz wrote in the summary – a claim also recently made by former CDC Director Robert Redfield. "Anthony Fauci and others coordinated to cover-up the funding of the Gain-of-Function work that resulted in SARS-COV2." https://tinyurl.com/2g5qm4do Posted by: Moron Robbie - Don't insist that I accept what you are when you can't accept what you are at September 21, 2022 11:12 AM (V1VLb) 51

Why weren’t the 60 minutes gaffes fixed prior to airing? Everyone knows the only unscripted moments the Ficus in Chief has is when he fills his pants. Even if they weren’t in the room with him during the interview (itself hard to believe), they knew and corroborated with the 60 minutes staff on the recording. Also, why don’t they just fit the Imbecile in the Big Chair with a shock collar and use it when he doesn’t follow the directions of the person speaking into Ficus’ ear?

"Anthony Fauci funded the creation of SARS-COV2 and lied to Congress about funding Gain-of-Function work," Renz wrote in the summary – a claim also recently made by former CDC Director Robert Redfield. "Anthony Fauci and others coordinated to cover-up the funding of the Gain-of-Function work that resulted in SARS-COV2."

NYPost: Russian lawmakers blame losses on experimental Ukrainian super-soldiers
Russia on Monday outrageously claimed that its massive army has failed to deliver Ukraine to President Vladimir Putin because it is fighting against experimental super-soldiers, turned into “cruel killing machines” by US studies. Two Russian lawmakers told reporters this week that the Kremlin is investigating the blood of Ukrainian prisoners of war, and has found “evidence” of experimentation, Russian outlet Kommersant reported. Russian Senator Konstantin Kosachev told the outlet that the blood of Ukrainian prisoners contained traces of pathogens he claimed were “atypical” for Ukraine.

Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks, Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? at September 21, 2022 11:11 AM (FVME7) I read a transcription of the post sof someone very familiar with the Russian system, and he made the surprising point that Russia currently has a very fractured command system, which is severely impacting their entire war effort. If I remember correctly, he said that the regular Russian Army is mainly in the south, involved in the defense of Kherson. The northeast - where things have been going badly - he said was being run mostly by the separatist groups of Luhansk and Donbas, along with some reconstituted formations of Russian army groups that lost a lot of men over the last 6 months. Lastly, there is the Wagner (aka Vagner) Group, the very powerful mercenaries, whose leader says that he takes orders only from Moscow and who refuses to cooperate or even communicate with any Russian Army commanders.

I don't think "committee" is the right word. "Department" might be closer. I'm thinking of the line from RN ship designer D K Brown, "Disaster strikes down departmental boundaries."
Along the same lines, enemies attacking on the boundaries between two forces' areas tend to succeed. But the point is one common to the administrative state. And note that it's one which is ALWAYS present, even when the state is minimal; there is always a split between Army, Navy, and Treasury, for instance. (And not just governmental. In my middle age, HR departments went to be the driving forces in many companies.) But even with these departments, there is always a split between the departmental priorities, and the ostensible goals. Posted by: Eeyore at September 21, 2022 11:22 AM (TgBWG) 129

This racket is so profitable and and so authoritarian-enabling I cannot foresee it ever completely ending.

I made a mistake on my post about the cost of the migrant flight to the Vineysrd
I was off by one decimal Ace. I just was unable to accept the truth. I said that the cost per person was $1230 But in fact the cost was 12300 dollars per person to fly migrants from TX to FL and then onto Martha's Vineyard. The 2 jets cost 615000 dollars.

I thought it was already gone and we were getting a blue wave instead.
Also, has there been any analysis done that shows a correlation between presidential approval and Congressional elections in midterms? Posted by: TheJamesMadison ----------------------------- Yes there has been. Part of the issue though is that to maintain any ability to use past elections, one has to choose which poll or group of polls to use. The old standard used to be Gallup, not these other media polls like Rassmussen, YouGov, etc. as their track record is far too short to be of use in a time series study. Generally, it is believed that a President will lose seats in Congress below 48 percent approval with each point below that indicating more problems. Senate and gubernatorial races are always more idiosyncratic than House and other state elections where party tends to matter more than candidate quality.

Powerline points out Biden himself is not President. He isn't coherent, for one thing, and he's a petty, vindictive nutcase.
Look at his completely nonsensical response to a simple question "why is the border overwhelmed under your policies?" Because there are three countries that are -- never have -- there are fewer -- fewer immigrants coming from Central America and from Mexico. This is a totally different circumstance. What's on my watch now is Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua. And the ability to send them back to those states is not rational. You could send them back and have them -- we're working with Mexico and other countries to see if we can stop the flow. But that's the difference.

You know one thing that becomes clearer and clearer as I get older? Everyone falls into a type. And it can get pretty specific. Obama is the pretentious jackass who thought he was FAR smarter than he actually was. Trump is the boisterous, garrulous guy who... can be naïve about other people's motives. Biden is the worst of the three. He is the guy who does the least. Brags about all the women in the office/plant/company he has banged (and runs them down, but the minute one shows up he tries to turn on the oily charm.) Mean spirited and petty. Vicious, except to superiors, but will turn on them in a heartbeat.

The only reason to take Gallup's seriously is its history. We've seen a lot of institutions fail on purpose over the past couple of decades.
How do we know Gallup's is right? Will we ever know if its right? Posted by: TheJamesMadison ------------------- Social scientists are used to working with bad data. The obvious way is to triangulate sources--include candidate race polling, mood of the country polling, and use some economic data as well as proxies. Internal campaign polling often focuses more on what topics to push and which harm the candidate except when the race get closer then it is which voters need to be mobilized to go to the polls. Often, in a midterm, it is the party base which is why the Biden junta is doing things with mixed messages. My guess is that the politicos are forcing issues like student loan forgiveness in order to mobilize young people who atypically do not like Biden much.

Posted by: whig at September 21, 2022 11:59 AM (CXr4y) ++++ Right. GDPNow is a neat model in that it takes into account all available data (within the parameters) automatically, so it tends to get more accurate closer to end-of-quarter. It moves a lot at the start of the quarter, and then approaches the final answer with greater precision toward the end. It is often pretty close to the actual finding, though not always. But moving from +2.4 to +0.3 is a big correction, and indicates that as more data become available, the conclusion gets dramatically worse. Not a great sign.

He's still the President. You've come to terms with this reality, as have I, but in the broader scope of normal people looking around with bewilderment and wondering what's going on, they have legacy expectations about how the world works and how the systems work and a key component of that is that the President is the leader and interacts with the public. That farce *must* be maintained or the normal-type LIVs will start asking a lot of very uncomfortable questions and noticing things that they had *not* noticed prior. Could the deep state overcome that? Probably, but they'd rather not find out. Things like elections and presidents are extremely useful fictions.
Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at September 21, 2022 11:27 AM (t0OGg) A president is elected. Brandon was not elected. He was installed. I play on other people's expectations that Brandon is the leader as the current occupier of the position of President, mostly to demand that they account for his bumbling.

But that does not mean that I have come to terms with him being President. He is not. Not in my eyes.
We are in a post-Constitution or Without Rule of Law era. The Presidency is an office defined by the Constitution that is no longer in effect. Basically, we are all just winging it. A fiat government. Posted by: Reuben Hick at September 21, 2022 12:10 PM (3hSHB) 437

Trump is in a unique place in history. Half the country loves him, and another half hates him. This was similar to Lincoln, save for the half that hated Lincoln didn't continuously and childishly fuck with Lincoln by harassing him with petty bullshit and persecute his supporters. This is unique in that we have two distinct classes of people in this country now. The Americans, and the petty, chickenshits who whine about everything and exist within their own stupid little petty reality. Fuck me runnin'. These people need some fucking hardship.
