Pool Report Embarrasses Biden By Reporting What He Really Said

I don't mean a report about him swimming naked in his pool in front of his female Secret Service staff. I mean the press pool report, where one reporter dashes off a report about an event and all other reporters are permitted to quote that.

From Beege Wellborn, an embarrassing anecdote, reported accurately.

Did you know that Joe Biden was almost an All-American football star? I mean, he wasn't even varsity at his college, and didn't play much in high school, but yeah, he was almost an All-American back in nineteen-deucedy-two.

Meanwhile, Joe Biden is attempting to run on the Joe Biden Economy, for reasons best adduced by mystics and madmen.

And he's screaming about 'MAGAnomics." You know, the economic policies that had us at full employment and roaring 4% growth before Biden and his Chinese friends released covid-19 and shut down the world.

There is one sector of the economy Biden has turbocharged: government hiring.

The number of jobs added to the U.S. economy has been increasingly inflated by public sector positions as the economy begins to cool, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
The 327,000 public jobs added for the year as of August 2023 made up 17.4% of total jobs added, while the proportion was only 5% after the U.S. added 175,000 public sector jobs during that same time frame in 2022, according to the BLS. The U.S. added a total of 3,590,000 jobs from the start of 2022 to that August, which is far greater than the 1,884,000 added during that time span in 2023.
The U.S. added 187,000 nonfarm payroll jobs in August, while the unemployment rate shot up to 3.8%. The number of jobs added in June and July were both revised down from what was previously thought in August's job report, with the U.S. adding only 105,000 jobs in June compared to the 185,000 previously reported, and July adding 157,000 jobs instead of 187,000.
The increase in government jobs has been accompanied by a rise in government spending, excluding COVID-19 stimulus measures, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (FRED). In the first quarter of 2020, the federal government had an expenditure of about $4.88 trillion for the year period, while the second quarter of 2023 boasted a $6.48 trillion expenditure over the year.
Economic growth is not as strong as previously thought after a revision to Gross Domestic Product in August led the BLS to update its estimate from 2.4% growth to 2.1%, coming more in line with original expectations of 2% growth for the economy.

And on the topic of government locusts eating us out of house and home: Biden's attempting to make it illegal for any Republican president to fire his leftwing partisan #Resistance "employees."

The Biden administration is setting a booby trap in case a Republican wins the presidency in 2024.
On Friday, the White House unveiled a proposed rule that would make it even harder than in the past for an incoming Republican president to wrestle control of the left-leaning federal bureaucracy and actually implement the conservative policies promised to voters.
Of the 2.2 million federal civil workers, only 4,000 are presidential appointees. The rest stay in their jobs, from one administration to the next, protected by rules that make it nearly impossible to discipline or replace them.
They overwhelmingly favor the Left. A staggering 95% of unionized federal employees who donate to political candidates give to Democrats, according to Open Secrets. Only a tiny 5% support Republicans.
Some federal workers in high positions slow-walk or even derail a Republican president's agenda -- and get away with it.
Why bother to vote if the left-leaning deep state stays in charge no matter who wins the presidency?
...
It's a gravy train, paid for by John Q. Public. That's sickening enough. But it's even worse when these civil "servants" put their own leftist leanings ahead of the president and public they're paid to serve.
After Trump won in 2016, they went to town neutralizing him on almost every policy front, explains James Sherk, special assistant to the White House Domestic Policy Council under Trump.
Career lawyers in the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division flat out refused to challenge Yale University's discrimination against Asian American applicants. Trump had to recruit lawyers from other divisions. After Joe Biden became president, the DOJ dropped the case. But the same career lawyers who refused to sue Yale made the losing argument in support of affirmative action before the U.S. Supreme Court.
Career health officials like Dr. Deborah Birx circumvented Trump's instructions to moderate COVID lockdowns. Environmental Protection Agency lawyers pursued cases against fossil fuel producers and withheld the information from Trump appointees.
Trump mandated in a 2020 executive order that new federal buildings be designed to please the public, which prefers classical designs. Instead, General Services Administration architects chose modern designs they like. Trump mentioned as an example the San Francisco Federal Building, the ugliest edifice in the city.
It goes on, including weaponization of the FBI against the president himself.

In October 2020, Trump issued an executive order that federal workers who make policy should be reclassified as at-will employees who can be terminated.
But before it could be implemented, Biden became president. He canceled it immediately, knowing the bureaucrats were on his side.
The rule announced Friday would slow a president's ability to reinstate Trump's order. Democrats in Congress are going further, pushing to eliminate the president's authority to reclassify jobs altogether.

The New York Times announced, "Biden Administration Aims to Trump-Proof the Federal Work Force."
Ramaswamy vows to go further than Trump, eliminating half or more of civil service positions. "Speaking as a CEO, if somebody works for you and you can't fire them, they don't work for you," he said in a speech on Sept. 12.

I had a meeting with a cow-worker who decided to randomly start gushing about the Biden-economy. Why yes she is max-vaxxed...how did you know?

Anyway I reminded her a few days before our CEO told us no raises for this year because of how bad the economy was. And...she mentally froze up for a minute. The lies she had been told from the FNM were coming up against what she herself could see.

I guided the discussion back to work...while I'm not sure how she handled it mentally I suspect she went on to tell people about how great the economy was...while buying less food at the grocery store because she's having to cut back...

The fascinating thing about the Trump period is it was the first time in forever that the working/middle class did better comparatively then the elites.

Yes, everyone made money, the the elites less. And it is interesting, under the GOPe generally everyone makes more money...but the elites do better.

And of course under Democrats generally anyone who isn't connected to the Dem machine loses money...though the elites less so.

It's only a poor analogy, because no one really understands it, but it's like having a train that is constantly jumping parallel tracks.

One moment the train is going east toward Pittsburgh, the next it's heading west toward Albuquerque, and in a flash, it's on the sub-Saharan African continent.

You never know where it's going next, or what speed it's traveling, or even if the thing is a real train at all, or some strange figment of the person's imagination, where trains are not trains, but magical dragon fairies that play olde tyme music when they flap their wings.

Have no fear...apparently Biden has a plan to address this!

The Biden administration wants to remove medical debt completely from consumer credit reports, so the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on Thursday outlined its proposed rules to keep unpaid medical bills from affecting patient’s credit scores.

What could go wrong? Also, if implemented, is Joe brainless, shameless and/or disingenuous enough to claim he has reduced personal debt or improved credit ratings?

50 This is sorta off topic and sorta on-topic. I was listening to a Team Coco podcast yesterday where Andy Richter was interviewing some 60ish punk musician I've never heard of. the musician is obviously a far left guy. But in college, he was a journo major and did a semester working at a small town newspaper.

He said that the internship put him off being a journalist b/c he saw that everyone had an agenda on what news got covered and how it got covered.

Now, if you were to ask this guy whether the newsmedia is biased, I'll guarantee you he would give the usual lefty answer of "no" (or even the more ridiculous claim that it's biased against the left). But when he wasn't clearly watching what he was saying, he revealed the truth, even if he doesn't realize it. Of course there is an agenda as to what news gets covered and how it gets covered. How can there not be? Humans always have agendas.

58 Severely Willowed: Moving To Make More Money. Today, I am as old as dirt. Tomorrow, I will actually be older than dirt.

Back in the Dark Ages when I first began working, "job hopping" was one of the greatest sins you could commit. If you worked for less than five years for your previous employer, quit of your own accord, then applied for the same job at a different company for more money, you were a "job hopper" and no other reputable company would hire you. Basically you were expected to stay with the same company your entire work life. But there was an unspoken bargain: you were loyal to your company and your company was loyal to you.

Suddenly that changed. I started hearing "My company doesn't respect me and has no loyalty towards me, so why should I be loyal to them?" Move to another company in order to secure a promotion and/or a raise became the common wisdom.

Frankly, I believe it was the companies that triggered this new attitude.

Hmmm. Something tells me that medical companies will start demanding prepayment or a credit card on file, etc. unless you're unconscious.

Then it's not medical debt, it's just credit card debt.

80 On Friday, the White House unveiled a proposed rule that would make it even harder than in the past for an incoming Republican president to wrestle control of the left-leaning federal bureaucracy and actually implement the conservative policies promised to voters.

Ordinarily, this would be a nothingburger.

Biden issues an executive order, and his Republican replacement undos the executive order.

Simple.

Of course, under the new legal theory promulgated by Hawaiian judges, Republican presidents are not allowed to undo executive orders issued by issued by Democratic presidents.

Speaking of, I hear Toyota dealers are killing the brand, with their markups, although "they" say the same thing about Frod and their shitty trucks.

Not that long ago, Toyota was the envy of the car biz, because their production system was so much more efficient than the rest, who rely on "just in time" delivery of parts.

Anyhoo, I don't know what's true and what isn't. I just know, if I'm going to buy a pickup, which I will if the world doesn't crash in the next few months, I'm not buying a Tacoma. They put so much silly googah on those things, a more base model that SHOULD be tens of thousands less than the Frods and Chitvys, ends up being priced right there with them.

Only if your salary increases. But if your fixed debt service was 45% of your income and you got a 2% raise but a 10% increase in your cost of living, the amount you have to spend on stuff that *isn't* that fixed debt service is, in fact, lower in terms of real goods.

More pets are being surrendered than ever. I’m guessing its just become too expensive for a lot of people.

Just paid $80 to have my non- shedding dog trimmed. When we got him 5 years ago it was $45.

A friend of mine lost her house to foreclosure because she took out a balloon loan to pay for the Horrendous Veterinary bills that put her in major debt. It was a house she inherited from her parents but she couldn’t make the final balloon payment. The house was sold in foreclosure for $400,000 and sold two months later for 1.5 million. She only owed $15,000 on the loan and couldn’t come up with the money.

I started a medical savings account. I used to carry insurance for my crew of 5 dogs. We had dogs instead of having kids.

Then, 2 years later, you pass bills to increase the workforce billets and selectively bring in conservatives to fill the 10% you still needed by putting more emphasis on certain things - like a vet's only hiring pool.

144 Since fed workers/members of the leftist hive cannot be fired by a GOP president/Congress, a more effective approach is to relocate these massive bureaucracies (such as the EPA or IRS) to places such as Nebraska, Kansas, or South Dakota. Massive voluntary downsizing will ensue with more conservative replacements and boosting the state economies at the expense of the D.C. leviathan.

It was a house she inherited from her parents but she couldn’t make the final balloon payment. The house was sold in foreclosure for $400,000 and sold two months later for 1.5 million. She only owed $15,000 on the loan and couldn’t come up with the money. ...

Yep. Every item on the nominal R agenda could have been implemented in 2004 or 2016. The GOPe didn't want to.

Hell, even with just the House the GOPe could cut as much spending as they want. Pass a bill with the spending rates you want and...go home. And for added strategery pass budgets for the agencies you care about first like the VA.

Then if Biden doesn't like a halved HUD budget for example...oh well...do you want half or 0?

The rest of the Democrats understand that its just a lie. When Obama ran for his 2nd term, he understood that it was all a lie, and that they had lied about the numbers just enough to get him under the fabled 8% unemployment. Obama understood that, and stuck to unemployment #s and his 'jobs created and saved' crap, but avoided actually talking about the broad economy, because he knew that it wasn't good.

3. Ensure that the 'puter on their desk connects ONLY to their Agency's internal comms. NO connection to the wider Internet need be established.

The tax brackets.

Tax brackets should track inflation. The standard household deduction should track inflation. The amount you can put in a Roth IRA should track inflation. Every government deduction limit should track inflation.

There have been several like that. One, "Slips Take Over" where a man is pulled aside by a man on a train who tells him he has 'slipped' into an alternate timeline, he can tell. The dude tells the man that he had slipped himself, managed to find that he knew how to make a device that hadn't been invented and had a good thing going. He now watches for new slippers and tries to mine them for info, help them out. He gives the man his card, because the first man doesn't believe it.

He leaves the train, can't find his destination and starts to notice differences. Finally he remembers the card and calls the number and there's nobody there. He has slipped again.

In one story the narrator "slips" into a universe where Apollo 11 crashed, killing the astronauts. The narrator made the part that failed, so he knows "he" is lying that it had to happen. So he goes and kills the engineer and takes over his life and family. But now another him is coming to kill him.

To imply that Trump was supporting any "Nazis" who were there (probably quite few, and feds themselves, but another issue) was not only a blatant lie at the time, but was followed by many, widely publicized reports of the context. If this speech was, as incessantly CLAIMED by JFB to have been the prime impetus of such a major decision as to run for POTUS, how could Joe NOT have been aware of that context, as later made quite clear?

Such a lying, vicious POS.

303 Federal government went from merit based - requiring specific qualifications & education - positions, and in which 5 or 10 point veterans who were qualified could not be skipped over to one heck of a lot of direct hiring.

In the early 1980s, "rifs" were routinely threatened, base-realignments targeted, field agencies moved. To shore up the Social Security system & reduce costs through broadening, a new Federal retirement system that included a 401(k) type plan was created by Congress.

Position 'certifications' separation - '5 or 10 point qualified veterans' appearing on a hiring certification & other "qualified" personnel appearing on another - became common. Ergo, the certificate with qualified veterans could be ignored.

In the 2000s "name requests" by mgm from those listed on on a regular qualification certificate became common. No longer experience, education, time-in-grade; then promises & favors moved people into jobs and up-the-line.

Another O& Joe trick was making almost every new position requiring a Masters or PhD, the latter even for entry for lower level grades that could become a ladder into higher grades.

All union approved; all 'cleaning house.'

2. Hillary! passes the remaining money to an army of bosses of corrupt NGOs, construction companies, and logistics outfits, after taking her cut and kicking some money back to Penny and Joe.
3. The corrupt bosses each keep a big cut for themselves and kick a lot of the money back to Hillary! Who shields these shenanigans from Penny and Joe with the usual Clinton money laundering schemes.
4. Ukraine gets 3% of war-damaged and destroyed infrastructure rebuilt by the US reconstruction effort. Within 10 years everything built by that reconstruction collapses due to substandard materials and terrible workmanship.

332 Very simple concept. A Government creates nothing of value, except Order. Everything else it spends money on, is a net negative to the economy. It creates no goods... grows no food... and constantly puts controlling road blocks up to innovation. Everything a Government does, even road building itself, could be accomplished much cheaper.

Now, combined Local, State, and Fed, spending is WELL north of 40% of the GDP. That means 40% of all money spent, is creating nothing... and with 3% inflation now baked into the economic system (cashless society means most transactions now enable fractional lending, which drives inflation)... the government spending will continue to grow MUCH faster than any economic growth there to support it.

New scam in this area is someone suddenly appears at the pump after you've used a credit card and aggressively insists on filling the tank for you. Except he never hangs up the pump and your credit card is still running. Next person gets told 'cash only' and the scam continues.

Soon the dayglow drugs keeping Biden upright will not work.
Won't matter: Obama will still have Bidens allegedly alive cadaver rolled out in a wheelchair to do his Presidentin.
Obama and his designated gatekeepers running the country(Monaco, Rice, ,Powers...et al) hate America in ways we can't fathom.

352 345 an article I saw had the pilot as a 47 year old vet, male, so something hinky had to happen for him to bail like that? he was trying to get the homeowner (who was super confused) to call for an ambulance. he hurt his back landing with the chute.

47 is pretty old for an active fighter plane pilot.

Posted by: Romeo13 at September 22, 2023 02:08 PM (QPmu4)

He must have been an instructor and the other pilot an F-35 newbie. Could explain why the other pilot quickly returned to base instead of following the un-piloted plane or circling over the ejected pilot's location.

356 I was just looking at the Weather Channel, and it shows a "tropical cyclone" going almost over DC. I thought a cyclone was just a hurricane in the Indian Ocean. WTH is a tropical cyclone over DC?
Posted by: Archimedes at September 22, 2023 01:15 PM (I/Qkd)

Cyclone's generic for tropical storm or hurricane. In the Indian Ocean case, you're thinking of typhoon.

359 Everyone I know that does a mortgage with a final balloon payment simply refinances the balloon on another 7 year mortgage. I'm told you do this a couple times and end up paying the loan faster and for less than the typical 30 year note.

That made sense in a falling rate environment.. it's a lot more risky now, especially if you barely qualify at current rates. The banks are happy to oblige of course.

360 That story is all tease. President comes in - repeals rules, installs another - reclassifies, fires all of them, tells HR lead if you don't I'll fire your ass tomorrow and bring in someone who will. Probably just fire them first and have a new HR team ready to go.

Because he is full of shit about taking on the Deep State!

That’s why.

He is as bad as Nikki and Pence. A little better than White Lizzo (the beached Orca from New Jersey).

Low carb and keto both have benefits of more
energy, weight loss, and more. Nowadays, low carbohydrate diets have
become "THE FAD" for almost everyone in America, who are looking forward
to losing weight. One of the best features of Wholesome Yum meal plans is they are completely customizable!
Margarines and fruits should also be taken in moderation as they are high in sugar although one can eat fruits once in a while
under the diet. By emphasizing whole foods, the ketogenic diet naturally reduces sodium intake, potentially aiding in blood
pressure management. Many argue that it’s best to limit the amount of time you stick to a keto diet so as not to miss
out on key nutrients from foods non-keto (like whole grains or other fiber-rich
carbs), while adopting a vegan lifestyle can

Seeing a doctor to remove your skin tags should always be your first choice, but we do understand that it is not a feasible option for everyone. She says, "one at-home method to remove skin tags is to tie a piece of dental floss or string around the base of the skin tag to cut off its blood supply. After a few days, the skin tag should dry up and fall off on its own. Another option is to apply apple cider vinegar or tea tree oil to the skin tag several times a day until it shrinks and falls off." Always remember to consult with your dermatologist if a skin tag is irregular in size, growing, or painful. Use the treatment 2 times a day until you see a difference. If you are not the patient type and would rather take the risk as long as you see instant results without undergoing any costly and invasive procedure, you can try at-home freezing kits which are growing in popularity these days. Many people with skin tags with often see from one to dozens in each armpit.

367 Cheef Botanicals’ CBD oil is not a miracle potion that can solve all of your woes. Keeping that in mind, Cheef Botanicals' lab-tested CBD oil comes in several sizes in glass dropper bottles and multiple potencies so you can choose the option that suits your needs the best. They obtain hemp from some of Colorado's best farms to make some of the best CBD products available. Then, it is mixed up with pure hemp seed oil to create a potent and digestible tincture. Contrary to popular opinion, tincture is not exactly the same product as CBD oil, even though they both contain CBD as their main active ingredient. Plus, with the ever-growing success of CBD products, several brands have hopped in and started selling the same products. These receptors have control over many of your body’s essential functions, including sleep schedules, sensations of discomfort, and stress management. Autophagy refers to the body’s ability to remove damaged cells. Additionally, they use the CO2 extraction method, which extracts CBD from the hemp plant and removes impurities, resulting in a higher concentration of pure CBD in the finished product. With this gentle and safe extraction procedure, you will
