Biden is afraid, of Trump. His speech today about the Jan. 6, 2021 demonstration in D.C. is a good indication that he is worried Trump will run and win in 2024. I would prefer a younger candidate on the Republican ticket, but if it comes down to Biden vs. Trump, I'm voting for Trump.

I remember Biden said he would run again ONLY if Trump runs again. What is that nonsense lol.
Both parties are in the same club, and guess what you ain't in it. Expecting any politician to help the common man is the same as believing in unicorns IMHO. They are all millionaires in Congress ask yourself how can a government employee get that rich.
VP Harris' new comms director suggested Biden 'Dazed and confused,' slammed Trump for 'janky science vaccine'
Jamal Simmons has previously criticized his new boss, VP Kamala Harris, and President Biden
Jan 7 2022
Vice President Kamala Harris' new communications director once suggested President Biden was "dazed and confused" and accused former President Trump of "pushing a janky science vaccine."
Jamal Simmons is set to be named the new communications director for Harris, replacing Ashley Etienne, who left in December, Fox News has confirmed.
Simmons previously hosted a news show for The Hill called "Why You Should Care," in which he aired a segment in August 2019 titled "Dazed & Confused," poking fun at Biden for the many conflated and exaggerated stories he's told the public over the years.
"We do this story about once a week!" Simmons said at the time. "It's what you get with Uncle Joe."
Simmons also cast doubt on COVID-19 vaccines while the Trump administration rushed to get one approved for emergency use in 2020.
"Trump's fatally ill-managed Coronavirus response seems to have turned voters off to him the way Katrina destroyed Bush's political reputation, but pushing a janky science vaccine into the public for political purposes would turn incompetent culpability into intentional harm," he tweeted in September 2020.
Simmons responded Friday, "As a pundit for much of my career I have tweeted a lot and spoken out on public issues. Sometimes I have been sarcastic, unclear, or just plainly missed the mark. I sincerely apologize for offending those who care as much as I do about making America the best, multi-ethnic, diverse democracy it can be. I know the role I am taking on is to represent the Biden-Harris administration, and I will do so with humility, sincerity and respect."
During the 2020 Democratic presidential primary, Simmons warned that Biden shouldn't get "too comfortable" with the Black vote.
"I think JoeBiden's heart is in the right place but I just heard the perfect summation of his position," he tweeted in May 2020. "'Black ppl are happy to have Biden at the cookout but he should remember he didn't get the original invitation on his own. He was a plus one.' Don't get too comfortable."
Simmons also had a few things to say about then-Sen. Harris' presidential campaign during the Democratic primary.
"Prior to the debate I had been having bad feelings about the Harris campaign," he wrote in July 2019. "It seemed listless, unfocused. These lackluster fundraising totals are not a surprise. I'm curious to see how this changes over the summer, now that Kamala's poll numbers have increased and Biden seems more like a winged bird than the inevitable nominee."
After Harris dropped out of the race in December 2019, Simmons said Harris had a hard time going off script in her arguments and criticism of her opponents, and that she "never quite got comfortable getting out of the pre-planned moment."
"When Kamala Harris goes into a room, frankly sometimes when Joe Biden goes into a room you just don't know what will happen in that room, what they will argue," Simmons added.
Simmons has also tweeted comments that would likely spark the ire of today's progressives.
In 2010, Simmons repeatedly advocated for the arrest of illegal immigrants.
"Just saw 2 undocumented folks talking on MSNBC. One Law student the other a protester. Can someone explain why ICE is not picking them up?" he tweeted Nov. 29, 2010.
"I'll try this again: Just saw 2 undocumented folks talking on MSNBC and have serious legal question. Why wouldn't ICE pick them up?" he asked. "We [should] harden borders & ease visas/find ways to bring undocumented into legal status/punish employers. My [question] was [a] common sense one."

In Europe we think central bankers are stealing from us... but the US is even worse!
US inflation soars to 7% for first time since 1982.
Jay Powell and his useless FED should congratulate themselves. No one had ever witnessed the level of incompetence they are displaying this time!

US inflation soars to 7% for first time since 1982
Year-on-year rise in CPI comes as Federal Reserve lays the groundwork for tighter policy amid rocketing prices
US consumer price growth rose at the fastest pace in almost four decades in December, stoking the Federal Reserve's fears about the threat of elevated inflation and its consequences for the economic recovery.
The consumer price index (CPI) increased at a 7 per cent year-on-year pace last month, a step up from the 6.8 per cent rate registered in November and the largest jump since June 1982.
Despite the faster annual pace, month-over-month price gains moderated to 0.5 per cent between November and December, down from 0.8 per cent in the previous period.
"Core" inflation, which strips out volatile items such as food and energy, accelerated by an even larger magnitude compared with the last reading.
It rose 5.5 per cent, well above the earlier 4.9 per cent annual pace. That translated to another monthly increase of 0.6 per cent, the sixth time in the last nine months that figure has exceeded 0.5 per cent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
"There is nothing in the details of the data that suggest inflation is fading in any meaningful way," said Eric Winograd, senior economist for fixed income at AllianceBernstein.
A rise in rents and other accommodation costs and prices for used vehicles were the "largest contributors" to December's increase, according to the BLS. Since December 2020, those expenses have increased 4.1 per cent. Used car prices continued to zoom higher, increasing 3.5 per cent from the previous month, and nearly 40 per cent from a year ago.
Energy prices fell 0.4 per cent from November — the first decline in months — and gasoline prices dipped as well.
Food prices also contributed once again to the historically high figures. Dining out costs rose 0.6 per cent from a month ago, a 6 per cent year-on-year increase and the largest rise since January 1982.
The broader food index was up 0.5 per cent, a more modest pace than the previous period. The cost of apparel, household furnishings and medical care also rose.
The data, which were released by the BLS on Wednesday, come just a day after Jay Powell, chair of the US Federal Reserve, warned high inflation was a "severe threat" to the labour market recovery and affirmed the central bank's intentions to rapidly reduce its monetary policy support.
"The Fed is now behind, so the urgency you hear in Powell's voice on inflation is him playing catch-up," said Tom Porcelli, chief US economist at RBC Capital Markets. "The justification for the Fed to respond to inflation happened months ago."
Porcelli expects the Fed to raise rates four times in 2022, beginning in March, and another four times in 2023.
Senior officials have begun to sketch out their plans to raise interest rates from their near-zero levels once they reach their dual goals of maximum employment and inflation that averages 2 per cent over time. December's data showed further signs that inflation was picking up in a broader cross-section of the economy and was at greater risk of becoming entrenched. This will pile further pressure on the Biden administration over its management of the economy heading into the 2022 midterm elections.
While the US president has presided over a booming economy that created more than 6m jobs last year as the unemployment rate fell to 3.9 per cent, the perception of a strong recovery has been undermined by the spike in prices and supply chain disruptions.
President Joe Biden said on Wednesday that while his administration was "making progress in slowing the rate of price increases", the data underscored "that we still have more work to do, with price increases still too high and squeezing family budgets".
"This is obviously an area of real challenge", a senior White House official told the Financial Times ahead of the release. "While projections expect moderation [of inflation] across the year, the president and the administration are focused and trying to pull that forward as much as possible."
The White House has been trying to reduce bottlenecks at key ports, crack down on anti-competitive behaviour in certain markets such as the meat industry and encourage more oil production globally to reduce petrol prices. It has refrained from adopting other inflation-fighting measures, however, such as removing tariffs on Chinese imports.
US inflation data prompted an abrupt pivot from the Fed late last year and have swayed global financial markets for months. But Wednesday's reading, which was largely in line with economists' forecasts, did not immediately ripple into the $22tn US Treasury market.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury fell 0.02 percentage points to 1.72 per cent following the data, with marginal selling pressure pushing the yield on the policy sensitive two-year note up 0.02 percentage points to 0.90 per cent.
The US stock market opened higher, as investors digested data that appeared to keep the Fed on track for four quarter-point rate increases this year.
"The Fed is facing both a labour market that is acting like it's closer to maximum employment and inflation that is elevated," said Tiffany Wilding, an economist at Pimco. "It suggests that their policy should be closer to neutral, as opposed to being extraordinarily easy."
"Their policy pivot is consistent with that," she added.

Some political experts say that Biden is angry with Americans. Are Americans satisfied with the job he is doing? The majority are not, according to the polls.
Quinnipiac poll shows Biden with 33 percent approval rating
Just one-third of Americans approve of the job President Biden is doing, a new low for the president, in a Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday.
The poll showed Biden's approval rating had dipped slightly from November, when his approval rating was at 36 percent. It continued a troubling trend for Biden, whose approval rating has steadily declined in each Quinnipiac poll released over the last several months.
The Quinnipiac poll surveyed 1,313 adults from Jan. 7 to 10, meaning it took place after Biden's speech marking the anniversary of the Capitol insurrection. It has a margin of error of 2.7 percentage points.

The ECB is today trying desperately to find a new invented word to turn the word "permanent" into "transitory" hahaha.
What I mean is that the ECB reckoned today that their made-up "transitory" inflation is in reality PERMANENT inflation that is going to kill the economy.
This moves in fact means that the ECB cannot fall behind and keep ultra low rates while the FED increases interest rates and reduces its balance sheet. The ECB would kill the euro if they did not raise rates following the FED.

Forgot to mention that Biden screwed the oldest ally of America, France, by stealing a 50 billion dollar submarine manufacturing deal that they'd had with Australia since 2016.
Europe wanted Biden, the Trump haters wanted Biden, and they got him. If he leaves office early then Kamala, who is worse than him, will become president.
All of them deserve this man, it's unfortunate that those who did not support or vote for him, will have to suffer for another three years under his administration.
Joe Biden: A Failure
https://www.usatoday.com/story/opin...er-rights-biden-takes-more-losses/6516516001/
Biden will lose the elections unless the FED makes a move to contain rampant inflation.
Actually Powell should resign, as there were cases of corruption and insider trading under his watch. Other FED members have resigned, and that's not enough; those FED officials that were using privileged information to trade in the stock market should be prosecuted.
This is a laugh. BBB is not happening, the Voting Rights Act is off the table, and the Vaccine Mandate has been denied by the Supreme Court. Inflation is at a 40 year high. Biden is a total failure, with a 33% approval rating, yet Nancy Pelosi continues to act as if he is a great leader. Biden does not recognize that he has failed, he would rather be angry at Americans. The State of the Union is in shambles, and he will deliver an address in March, which will no doubt consist of nonsensical lies.

America's problem is that Trump lost the election, but Biden didn't win either in any meaningful sense.
And of course the voters blame Biden for not giving him a majority in the Senate that he can work with.
We have the highest inflation in 40 years, and this idiot wants to spend, spend and spend more. He has completely abandoned the moderate Democrats and deserves to be unpopular. He has dementia. He is "angry", and losing control. You can see that he doesn't know what to do anymore. I think that impeachment would be the best option if it were not for Harris being even worse than he is. Perhaps we can have a double impeachment.
It just gets worse every day under this man, Joe Biden. He has had close to half a million more COVID-19 deaths, since beginning his term as president, and it's getting worse. This is the candidate that 90% of Europe cheered for, and the Trump haters and other clueless people in the United States voted for.
Biden ignores questions on failing COVID-19 policies
Biden has frequently avoided or ignored press questions in the past
In a now familiar move, President Biden refused to answer questions shouted to him by reporters during his latest public appearance.
On Thursday, Biden announced his latest plan to distribute free high-quality masks to the American people following the rise in cases caused by the omicron variant of the coronavirus. This followed the White House's previous plan to also mail out 500 million at-home coronavirus tests to Americans within the next few weeks.
When Biden finished his announcement, a reporter shouted "Mr. President, do you have a message for vaccinated Americans who are wondering why they should continue to restrict their activities given your health officials say most Americans will get COVID at some point?"
Biden dodged the question saying, "Folks, we'll talk about that later. Come on, let's go."
Rather than leave the press as he's been known to do at public events, Biden stayed and repeatedly ignored several questions regarding his administration's COVID-19 policies.
As the press was ushered out, NBC's Kelly O'Donnell was heard saying "Maybe a press conference soon, Mr. President? We'd look forward to that."
Biden responded saying "Me too."
The Biden administration has been criticized numerous times for its latest COVID-19 policies, since Biden's 2020 presidential campaign originally promised to "shut down" the virus. In a Thursday interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, she was unable to answer whether it's time for the administration to pursue a new COVID strategy.
"It's time for us to do what we have been doing, and that time is every day," Harris said. "Every day it is time for us to agree that there are things and tools that are available to us to slow this thing down. And so right now we know we still have a number of people that, that is in the millions of Americans who have not been vaccinated, and could be vaccinated, and we are urging them to get vaccinated because it will save their life."

White House releases bizarre memo insisting Biden's 33% approval in poll is an 'outlier' - then lists a series of surveys that have him still unpopular at below 50%
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Jen O'Malley Dillon wrote the memo in response to the latest Quinnipiac University poll – which has Biden underwater at 33-53, which would be a low point.
The same survey had Biden at 36 per cent in November.
O'Malley Dillon, who managed Biden's campaign, assembled the memo to argue the poll is 'very likely an outlier.'
She responds to the survey by citing a raft of other polls that, while higher, still have Biden trailing other presidents in their first year in office and showing signs of deep political trouble.
She notes that Biden's approval in the FiveThirtyEight average of all public polls has him at 43 per cent. 'Quinnipiac on the other hand is at 33% approval. This is drastically different from all other recent polls,' she writes.
That puts him in poor company when it comes to presidents going all the way back to Jimmy Carter. 'With the exception of Trump, Biden is in the worst shape of any of them,' CNN's Chris Cillizza noted, based on Gallup numbers. He called the argument – that Biden's numbers were historically now, but not as bad as the Quinnipiac poll suggested, 'baffling.'
'This is likely in part because Quinnipiac still exclusively uses a method called RDD (Random Digit Dialing, calling phone numbers at random) to collect data, a method which many major organizations have abandoned,' according to O'Malley Dillon.
She also notes that the Q poll has a large 'undecided' or 'don't know' figure. She puts it at 11 percent, although the poll actually has this figure higher - at 13 percent. Other pollsters undertake to push respondents one way or the other to get a higher result either way, with lower undecided figures.
The poll pushback comes at a time when the White House is taking steps to retool its communications strategy.
Biden will hold his first formal press conference in more than 70 days next Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Friday.
And Vice President Kamala Harris has been conducting sit-down TV interviews amid her own low approval ratings. She did one with the 'Today' show this week.
Biden has also been bashing Republicans for standing in the way of voting rights legislation, comparing the the use of the filibuster to block it to Jim Crow and the confederacy.

- The Quinnipiac University poll had Biden at 33 percent approval with 53 percent disapproval
- White House Deputy Chief of Staff Jennifer O'Malley Dillon called it an 'outlier'
- She penned a memo disputing the methodology
- She also noted the high rate of 'no opinion' responses
- Biden is at 43 per cent in poll averages, she noted
- But even that figure puts Biden below every Democratic president since Carter
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Jen O'Malley Dillon wrote the memo in response to the latest Quinnipiac University poll – which has Biden underwater at 33-53, which would be a low point.
The same survey had Biden at 36 per cent in November.
O'Malley Dillon, who managed Biden's campaign, assembled the memo to argue the poll is 'very likely an outlier.'

Trump, in Arizona, says Biden more destructive 'than 5 presidents put together'
Trump pointed out what he described as President Biden's mishandling of the southern border, the coronavirus pandemic and record-high inflation
Former President Trump continued his "Save America" tour Saturday with an event in Arizona, where he scrutinized President Biden and endorsed local Republican candidates.
The former president did not reveal if he would be reseeking the presidency in 2024 — a hope for many of his supporters — but continued to point out what he described as Biden's mishandling of the U.S.-Mexico border, the coronavirus pandemic, and record-high inflation, FOX 10 of Phoenix reported.
"We've had more problems, we've had more destruction than five presidents put together in the last year," Trump told the crowd in Florence, about 62 miles southeast of Phoenix.
"These decisions they're making, they're wrecking and devastating people's lives, firing Americans from their jobs, forcing innocent children to grow up in masks," he added.
Trump is well-liked in Arizona and his Save America PAC has raised more than $441,000 from just over 9,000 unique state residents through the first six months of last year, Federal Election Commission filings show, FOX 10 reported.

2.5 million American truckers are expected to quit over the insane vaccine mandates. That could mean the trucking industry losing 37 percent of its workforce. This would result in a substantial strain on the supply chain.
No one here is talking about that so I thought I'd put it out there.

And just across the pond, Boris Johnson is asked to resign by former Tory leaders...
The funny part is that Boris cannot wait to leave office and retire at some corporation earning a much higher salary for doing absolutely nothing...
...and also he will get paid for "speaking". Even Theresa May makes a handsome sum of money for giving conferences and chatting here and there.

It has become obvious to the majority of Americans, and much of the world, that Biden and Harris are a complete failure, as leaders of the United States of America. The polls show what Americans think about it, and if Biden and Harris do not do something real fast, to change this situation before the Midterm elections are held, the Republicans are going to slaughter the Democrats.
I expected him to be bad, but he has far outdone that prediction - he's been absolutely terrible.
Let's see what he has to say, at his press conference in a little while.
