The 80 Million Voter Man Week-in-Review

Joe Biden and an Administration Barely Alive

In the introduction to the 6 Million Dollar Man, you can hear the following:

Harve Bennett:
Steve Austin, astronaut. A man barely alive.

Oscar Goldman:
Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to make the world’s first bionic man. Steve Austin will be that man. Better than he was before. Better… stronger… faster.

In 2022 United States the introduction would be as follow:

The American People:

Joe Biden, President. A man barely alive.

Failed Democrat Controlled Government:

Gentlemen, we cannot rebuild him. We do not have the technology.

We do not have the capability to restore Joe Biden’s credibility. Joe Biden is a liar. A bigger liar than before. Worse, weaker…slower.

It has been an interesting week with the 80 Million Voter Man continuing to spread misinformation and blaming Russia for everything, from higher gasoline prices to the lack of baby formula for American citizens.

It seems Joe Biden cannot take responsibility for what is a failed administration. A broken border, a proxy war with Russia via Ukraine, the highest inflation levels in decades, higher consumer products prices, gasoline prices at record high and rising, shortages of baby formula for American citizens babies, you name it, it is Russia’s fault.

While the United States government, including Republicans, continue to send billions of dollars to Ukraine, and war monger Republican senator Lindsey Graham calls for an “all out” war with Russia, Americans continue to suffer and the people in charge of this country do not care.

This week was no different than the one before. Joe Biden went on a speaking spree throwing the same talking points, Russia this, Russia that, but with no viable solution in sight. He had nothing to offer but silly rhetoric and a bag full of lies.

While Americans are put in the position to choose between feeding their families or paying their mortgage, the Democrats continue to go the “social issues” route, from student loan debt forgiveness to abortion rights.

In the real world, the problems keeping Americans up at night are more pressing. Since January 2022, natural gas prices have tripled and new record highs of $4.40 per gallon of gasoline are making everyday life a lot tougher.

With the upcoming reversal of Title 42 things are going to get even more difficult. The influx of thousands of illegal aliens is going to overwhelm an already stressed system and it is going to put more pressure on social services meant for American citizens.

If you want a little preview, go no further than the current baby formula crisis. While shelfs are running empty, the United States government have horded large amounts of baby formula for illegal aliens at their detention facilities.

If you listen to the 80 Million Voter Man, you will think everything is fine, but is not. The Biden administration claims this crisis “is not new to the White House.” Were they aware and did nothing?

Who knows, maybe Joe has been hording the baby formula for himself.

Joe Biden claims he will speed up manufacturing process while cracking down on price gauging. Folks, he cannot do this, and he knows it. There is no evidence of price gauging, but plenty of evidence of government hording.

The Biden Food and Drug Administration shutdown the Abbott Nutrition Plant in Sturgis, Michigan for a whole month. They knew what was going to happen and if they did not, shame on them.

Another week ends with Joe Biden lying to the American people, blaming everything on Russia, funding a proxy war with Russia with money we do not have, and keeping American babies from accessing baby formula while illegal aliens, and their children, are well taken care of by the same government who neglects its citizens.

Another garden variety week from the 80 Million Voter Man.

Stay tuned for next week episode of the 80 Million Voter Man, I guarantee, it will not disappoint.

Wish of The Day

I am Just Waiting for The Day…

Joe, always going for the lowest hanging fruit available. Photo courtesy of myhfa.org

Joe Biden gives a job to someone qualified and not because of some perceived social qualifier.

Now that White House press secretary Jen Psaki is leaving the White House to join the lunatic fringe at MSNBC, her successor will be the current deputy secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre.

In typical Joe Biden fashion, of going for the lowest hanging fruit available, just as he did with his Supreme Court Justice nominee, he spoke of Jean-Pierre and why she was the person for the job, not by addressing her talent, but by touting her as the first openly gay White House press secretary and the first black woman to hold the position.

Once again, Joe Biden brags about giving a job to someone, not because they are qualified, but because they meet some type of left leaning social qualification.

He nominates and promotes a Supreme Court Justice based on her color and sex, and now he brags about appointing a White House press secretary based on her sex, color, and sexual orientation.

I will like to think these people would want to be recognized for their talents and not for some ridiculous social checkbox.

Perhaps someday Joe Biden will appoint someone to a job for no other reason than being the best qualified for the job, regardless or race, color, sexual orientation, etc, etc, etc.

One can only wish.

Banana Republic Economics

The Ongoing Failures of the Biden Administration and the Federal Reserve

Citing inflation, the United States Federal reserve has raised its base interest rate by 0.5% in addition to selling off its balance sheet of trillion of dollars.

This rate hike has been the biggest since May of 2000 under the fantasy that it will tackle the current, and upward going, inflation rate of 8.5%. If you believe this I have a bridge to sell you.

Fed chairman Jerome Powell was quoted as saying, “Inflation is much too high.” Really Mr. Powell? Is the failed economic policy of the Biden administration that has pushed inflation to an all time high, this is not rocket science.

Powell’s comments come with a caveat. He stated the policies “can only impact the demand side of things and not supply disruptions.” Yes, because supply disruptions are also the result of the Biden administration lack of planning and their ridiculous shutdown of our economy over a virus with a mortality rate lower than the seasonal influenza.

Powell went on to blame the supply issues on China’s Covid-19 lockdowns and the Ukrainian conflict. First, we have been living with Covid for the last two years, secondly, supply chain issues were in place long before the start of the Ukrainian conflict.

He admitted the rate hike may cause short term unemployment, but the fact is people are quitting their jobs. After two years of sitting at home and working remotely, employees are refusing to return to work and instead are resigning.

When government pays you better wages to sit at home than to actually produce something to earn it, some people are going to abuse it.

He stated, “the labor market is extremely tight.” Folks, the labor market is tight because people are refusing to return to work, period. With 11.9 million jobs available and only 6 million Americans looking for work, even with Common Core mathematics the numbers do not lie.

“There may be some pain for Americans.” That is an understatement.

Americans have been in financial pain since the Biden administration took over. The proof is clear, from higher energy prices to empty shelves at the grocery stores. Americans have been put in a position to choose between feeding their families or filling up their vehicles to go to work.

What this rate hike is going to do? Nothing! Is going to put more stress on everyday Americans. By raising interest rates on credit cards, making it harder for first time home buyers to afford a home, and food prices skyrocketing as supplies continue to shrink, choices are going to be tight.

The Federal Reserve will continue to raise interest rates until they hit their target of 2% inflation. We are at 8.5% and rising, this goal is unrealistic and actually will cripple American families even more so.

Meanwhile the democrats believe abortion is the thing that keeps Americans awake at night. This is Banana Republic economics, and it is going to get worse before it gets better.

The Disinformation Governance Board

Controlling the Truth by Curtailing Free Speech

I am not surprised the Biden administration would concoct such a battering ram against freedom of speech and freedom of opinion and ideas. After all, this is the same administration who thrives on misinformation.

Remember, Joe Biden got more than 80 million votes, concerned parents are domestic terrorists, January 6th was an insurrection, despite the fact nobody has been charged with such a crime, the economy is great, gas prices and the inflation are Russia’s fault, and the list goes on and on.

You would think the creation of such of board would be to keep the government from spreading misinformation, but that does not seem to be the plan. Sounds more like a tool to silence us, the American citizen.

The democrats understand Covid-19 woke a sleeping monster inside the American people, the monster of curiosity. Covid-19 exposed the reality of our failed government run education system, the long arm of government overreach, the curtailment of constitutional rights under the guise of ‘health’, and the dangers of an unaccountable government.

From Critical Race Theory to transgender indoctrination of little children, the democrats have attempted to change our societal norms by force. The people have rejected those changes as they understand they are divisive in nature and spoon fed by a minority who wants to impose their will upon the rest of us.

Facing this American ‘awakening’, the democrats have to produce something to control the left-wing narrative and to silence any opinion or discussion that can expose their backwards policies; enter the Disinformation Governance Board.

What is the purpose of such a department? The Department of Homeland Security claims is to combat ‘foreign misinformation and disinformation.’ I do not buy it; we have a Central Intelligence Agency to do just that.

Curiously, the announcement came days after Elon Musk purchased social media platform Twitter with the promise of ‘more freedom of speech’, and after former president Obama went on a speaking spree pleading his case that more government was necessary to provide oversight and regulation for these platforms.

Freedom of speech is a protected constitutional right, and I do not believe a bureaucracy like DHS have the authority to create a misinformation bureau to control such speech. We have law enforcement agencies tasked to track foreign adversaries, so I have to deduct this is nothing more than a silencing tool for domestic consumption.

DHS claims is a tool of national security, but our own government can declare anything a ‘matter of national security,’ and without the proper oversight can become a tool of suppression for those voices who happen to disagree with the government’s position.

To make matters worse, DHS Secretary Majorkas has designated the ‘Queen of Misinformation,’ Nina Jankowicz, as its executive director.

She was one of the biggest advocates against the Hunter Biden’s computer fiasco, going along with the nonsense that it was Russian misinformation.

This woman used a Mary Poppins song to create a video about so-called disinformation. The word on the internet is that she is a frustrated actress, well, I can see why.

She definitely fits the bill for such a position in the Biden administration, it seems spreading misinformation is her best asset, plus she does not seem to have all her marbles upstairs.

Many Americans, including members of congress, have questioned the legitimacy and purpose of this board. I believe it is time to have hearings, and if the government wants to create a new bureaucracy, it should be done through the legislative process.

George Orwell wrote about the ‘Ministry of Truth’ in his science fiction novel “1984”, let us keep it that way, a work of fiction.
