Episode 423 – I Told You So

I knew there was a reason the Left kept saying math was racist.

I hate to say it but I told you so. I just didn’t think it would be this fast.

Biden is getting thrown under the bus by his own staff.

And, dude, they’re just movies.

 

I Knew There Was a Reason Math is Racist

Remember we had a podcast where we talked about math being racist because there is always a right answer? They talked about how we should be more flexible with answers to make math more equitable? Yeah, well, now we know why. Apparently the new narrative for this $3.5 trillion package that the Biden administration wants to push is going to actually cost nothing. Everyone is pushing this now. Listen to this quick montage:

This has to be, without a doubt, one of the craziest things I’ve ever heard. What’s more, if you listen to the logic, it’s just a lie. I find it amazing that these guys are all on the same page when it comes to this. Old Joe, Jen Psaki, Leftist House Reps, MSNBC, CNN are all saying the exact same thing.

OK, so this is what Biden is thinking. With this $3.5 trillion budget, Old Joe is assuming his tax bill will come out where he raises taxes, allegedly, on corporations and people making over $400,000. He wants to use all the taxes he steals over the next ten years to pay for the budget bill, which has a ten year life. Therefore, we would not be adding to the national debt and that means it will cost $0.

OK, as you’ve guessed, there are a few problems with this:

  • The bill will cost $3.5 trillion, no matter what. The government doesn’t have it. They have to take it from someone.
  • It’s not going to cost the government anything, it’s going to cost us!
  • The rich, even if you take all their money, won’t add up to $3.5 trillion in ten years. The tax bill states that it will make the money in 15 year not 10! Where’s that money going to come from. Maybe it’ll go into the debt!
  • And the tax bill does not just tax the rich. There are taxes in the bill (like the nicotine tax) that will affect the middle and lower classes.
  • And the rich already pay taxes! The top 50% pay all of the net taxes. The lower 20% pay 0% net taxes.
  • The bill is also said not to cost $3.5 trillion but $4.2 trillion. That doesn’t include the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill which will probably be closer to $2 trillion.
  • Then you got to think about the economy. This is a recession bill. If one taxes the corporations and the innovators, guess what they’re not going to do? Hire people and innovate. This will cause people to need government assistance and, the lack of innovation will cause less profits which leads to less taxes.

Nancy Pelosi is a better politician. She’s going to pull an Obamacare Jedi mind trick on us. Which is weird because Jedi are bad people (more of that later). She said we should just ignore the money needed for this bill. Listen:

It’s not about the money… Forget about the numbers…

She can’t even get through her statement with a straight face or a clear sentence. But, believe it or not, it makes more sense than Joe Biden’s BS. At least she’s saying we shouldn’t worry about the money, not that it’s not going to cost anything. Even with that people are like…huh?

So here’s what’s happening:

  • They are voting for the budget bill and the infrastructure bill this week.
  • The debt ceiling is going to be hit this week. This could shut the government down and we could end up defaulting on loans.
  • More than likely we will default on bonds for those that bought from the government within the United States. You might have noticed the stock market is tanking.
  • The government shutting down, which is actually quite irrelevant, will probably have a coin trick pulled to keep it going. But who cares.
  • Democrats can pass a modified budget deal through reconciliation but, without the debt ceiling being raised (and it will add to the debt), Democrats are going to have to own the debt. This is a great move.
  • They must push reconciliation because they have lost Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema. They will not have a majority in the Senate and Republicans will filibuster this bill and probably both bills.

Democrats are screwed here.

  • They’re going to have to use reconciliation. They won’t be able to do it again. There’s no chance of breaking a filibuster.
  • Chances are, they won’t use reconciliation because they don’t have a majority in the Senate.
    • Not one Republican supports this.
    • Remember, Joe Machin and Kyrsten Sinema said “no”.
  • With the debt ceiling halted, the Democrats are going to have to own the debt.
  • The 2022 election is in one year. No one in the swamp is going to risk a huge loss on the bills and have to explain this to their voters.

This bill is not getting through. This is going to be a huge loss for the Biden administration. Amazing that in less than a year, this Presidency is over.

 

I Told You So

I love being right. Especially two days after I made the prediction.

DeSantis’s office announced the following three actions in a statement.

  • First, Governor DeSantis has issued Executive Order 21-223 to prohibit all Florida agencies under the purview of the Governor from facilitating illegal immigration into Florida, unless otherwise required by federal or state law, and require the collection of information from state officials on the scope and costs of illegal immigration in Florida.
  • Second, Governor DeSantis announced the appointment of Larry Keefe, former U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Florida, as Public Safety Czar to ensure the actions directed by the executive order are carried out.
  • Finally, Governor DeSantis and Attorney General Moody announced that Florida has filed suit against the Biden Administration challenging its “catch and release” policy.

Told you so.

Biden is getting Thrown Under the Bus

There are hearings about the Afghanistan debacle. The three being interviewed are Army Gen. Mark Milley, United States military Central Command (CENTCOM) commander Gen. Kenneth McKenzie and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. There were some interesting revelations.

 

We Still Don’t Know What He Was Doing

Gen. Mark Milley released a statement about the his alleged attempt to deride President Trump. He released this statement:

The calls on 30 October and 8 January were coordinated before and after with Secretary Esper and Acting Secretary Miller’s staffs and the interagency. The specific purpose of the October and January calls was generated by concerning intelligence which caused us to believe the Chinese were worried about an imminent attack by the U.S.

I know, I am certain, President Trump did not intend on attacking the Chinese and it is my directed responsibility – to convey presidential orders and intent. My job at that time was to de-escalate. My message again was consistent: calm, steady, deescalate. We are not going to attack you.

At Secretary of Defense Esper’s direction, I made a call to General Li on 30 October. Eight people sat in the call with me, and I read out the call within about 30 minutes of the call ending.

On 31 December, the Chinese requested a call with me. The Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Asia Pacific Policy helped coordinate my call which was scheduled for 8 January. 11 people attended the call with me. Read-outs of this call were distributed to the interagency that same day.

Shortly after my call ended with General Li, I informed both Secretary of State Pompeo and White House Chief of Staff Meadows about the call among other topics. Soon after that, I attended a meeting with Acting Secretary Miller where I briefed him on the call.

He later said he had no intention to usurp President Trump.

You know what I learned from this statement? Nothing. He doesn’t deny anything, he admits nothing and only says that he followed the communication protocols.

What is disturbing is that Milley spent a lot of time being interviewed by Bob Woodward for his book. A lot of that stuff should have been kept private. That’s enough for me. He should resign or be fired.

 

How Does He Still Not Know?

Since this disaster in Afghanistan, the Biden administration has said that there are less than 100 Americans and visa holders in Afghanistan and probably most don’t want to leave. But, whenever pressed, nobody seems to really knows how many people are still there.

When asked if there were, in fact, 4000 Americans and visa holders still left in Afghanistan, Austin said:

“I personally don’t believe that there are 4,000 American citizens still left in Afghanistan.”

In other words, he doesn’t know. I can be pretty sure if he doesn’t know, neither does the Biden administration.

 

Caught in a Lie

We know that the Biden administration has a way of stretching the truth to put it lightly. He lies, to put it factually. But, so far, a lot of the lies weren’t actually researched by the legacy media outside of a few Conservative outlets. But, while Austin, Milley and McKenzie are under oath, the truth came out. And the truth is that Joe Biden is an f-ing liar.

The big question everyone wanted answered is what advice did Biden get. This is important because, as we shall find out, does Joe Biden own the mess. After listening to Milley and McKenzie we find out Biden does own this whole thing:

Some things:

  • Both Milley and McKenzie said they agreed with keeping troops in Afghanistan and, apparently, so did General Miller who is the ground officer.
  • I love that they are trying to give cover by saying they can’t tell anyone about what they told the President. We can assume the answer is, yes, we told him.

Finally, what did Biden actually tell George Stefenopolis, who was a Clinton communications director. You may not remember what Old Joe said. We know Old Joe doesn’t remember. Let’s listen to it:

  • He contradicts himself a little bit. No, he contradicts himself in the same sentence.
  • He says there was a split in opinion then everyone agreed. Which is it Joe.
  • By the way, Stefenopolis knows Biden is in trouble here and is working to get him to give the right answer.
  • The key phrase in this statement is “…that I recall”. Old Joe is giving himself a way out. A way to say he didn’t lie.
  • Or he just can’t remember cause he’s mentally compromised.

So, right here, Secretary Austin is cornered and under oath. Here’s his answer:

Couple of things:

  • I hate politicians. No one asked Austin if Biden is honest. Did he know the recommendations or not?
  • Finally, notice all these guys all say the same thing. “We can’t say what we said to the President”?
  • If the President asked for a recommendation and that was their recommendation and Austin is saying they gave the recommendation to the President then then the President knew the recommendations and did what he wanted anyway.

Hey, Biden wasn’t listening to anyone. He did what he wanted to do and damn the consequences. Even if those consequences means 13 soldiers and a couple of hundred Afghans are dead and we may have left 4000 Americans and visa holders behind.

We see this by the final clip which talks about what advice Old Joe got when the crap hit the fan. Listen:

Old Joe didn’t care. He was getting out of Afghanistan. Period.

 

Conclusion

Few things here:

  • This is all on Joe Biden. He made the decision against his generals.
  • Joe Biden lied about the status of what is happening in Afghanistan before and after the fall. He has lied about the number of Americans there. He has lied about the advice he has been given.
  • The leadership in his administration will not take it in the butt for his, and only his, decision on Afghanistan. They won’t lie for him.
  • This is all on Joe Biden and only Joe Biden.
  • Finally, Joe Biden is going to have to come clean.
    • Did you get the recommendations? Why did you ignore them?
    • Did you not get the recommendations? Why aren’t these guys fired?
    • Do you remember? Are you competent?

Old Joe is in trouble.

Dude, It’s a Movie

I think the Daily Wire has really hit the mark when it comes to the state of science and scientific publication:

Scientific American, founded in 1845, has published such brilliant minds as Albert Einstein, Linus Pauling, and J. Robert Oppenheimer, and explored subjects as diverse as perpetual motion and solar neutrinos.

These days, however, the magazine is concerning itself with somewhat different topics — like how “problematic” the fictional space warriors known as Jedi are.

Yeah. The Jedi order is racist. The title of the Scientific American piece, “Why the Term ‘JEDI’ Is Problematic for Describing Programs That Promote Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion. The Jedi are inappropriate mascots for social justice.”

Jesus Christ, help us!

According to this piece, there are four problems with Luke, Obi-Wan and Yoda:

[The Jedi] are a religious order of intergalactic police-monks, prone to (white) saviorism and toxically masculine approaches to conflict resolution (violent duels with phallic lightsabers, gaslighting by means of “Jedi mind tricks,” etc.)…

  • Police are bad. No matter what their motivations.
  • I’m not sure what the “white saviorism” means. Half of the Jedi were aliens!
    • Last I checked, Lando Calrissean (who wasn’t a Jedi but worked with them) and
