On Monday afternoon, President Joe Biden took questions from the press, including from Fox News’ Peter Doocy, in pointing out that GDP numbers will be coming in on Thursday, asked “how worried should Americans be that we could be in a recession.” With a smile on his face as Doocy asked his question, Biden doubled down on his administration’s talking points by claiming he doesn’t think we will be in a recession.

Uh, my hope is that we go from this rapid growth to a steady growth, and, uh, so we’ll see some coming down. But I don’t think we’re going to, uh, God willing, I don’t think we’re going to see a recession.”
This has been a consistent narrative from the White House, as it has sought to change the definition of what a recession is, which is typically thought of as two quarters of negative GDP growth. Worth noting. There’s a reason why two down GDP quarters has long been the standard definition of a recession. https://t.co/a5wcfEihEc — Brit Hume (@brithume) July 25, 2022 Last Sunday, Jared Bernstein, who is a member of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, dismissed the usually thought of definition when speaking with Shannon Bream on “Fox News Sunday.” Later that week, he and Cecile Rouse, who chairs the council, promoted a different definition in a blog post published to the White House website.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
