AP Photo/Evan Vucci As we previously reported , the report issued Thursday by the Bureau of Economic Analysis shows the GDP shrunk 0.9 percent in the second quarter. Combined with the 1.6 percent drop in the first quarter, in the eyes of any economist who is not vying to be Joe Biden’s chief bootlicker that means the United States is officially in a recession.
The dreaded “R” word, as we’ve also noted, has been something the Biden administration from the top down has been trying to skate around in recent weeks in apparent awareness that this news was coming down the pike. We’ve seen administration officials from press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre , to Treasury Sec. Janet Yellen , to National Economic Council director Brian Deese , and even Joe Biden himself try to gaslight the American people by proclaiming that we’re not technically in a recession or whatever.
Even on this day, after the numbers that confirm it were released, Joe Biden is still trying to pull the wool over people’s eyes, declaring in a written statement earlier that “we are on the right path.” Even worse, during what was billed as a “press conference” at the White House where Biden was touting the $670 billion Biden/Manchin/Schumer deal , a petulant Biden stood there before the cameras and listed off partisan actors including senior members of his administration as saying we were not in a recession, as though that makes it true: Joe Biden continues to lie to the American people: “We’re not in a recession.” pic.twitter.com/t2rXYB4a4D — RNC Research (@RNCResearch) July 28, 2022 And then, almost immediately after that, Biden ended the so-called “presser” by running away from the press without taking a single question: “That doesn’t sound like a recession to me.” Biden takes ZERO questions on the day […]
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!
