USA politics US economy US News US politics US presidential elections
Not the BBC – but evidence that the msm – alistair heath in the DT is finally commenting on the false US president – next they’ll say he has dementia –
STARTS
America is in desperate need of a determined and visionary leader, but has found itself stuck with an ineffective, erratic and gaffe-addled figurehead. Joe Biden is US President in name only, the weakest, least powerful holder of that office for over a century. He isn’t America’s de facto chief executive, let alone its commander-in-chief. He is, at best, non-executive chairman, even if polite opinion in Washington is desperate to keep up the charade that the buck stops with him.
His embarrassingly downgraded role became obvious last week when he suddenly veered off-script during his keynote address in Poland, ad-libbing of Vladimir Putin that “for God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power”. It was a dramatic escalation, a clear and simple message that no reasonable person could possibly misinterpret, and yet the White House appeared not even to ask him for permission before “clarifying” his statement. Biden’s people – who are supposed to work for him, rather than the other way around – immediately denied that he was calling for regime change. They claimed, within seconds of his speech, that the words he uttered didn’t actually mean what he obviously intended them to signify.
They were undoubtedly seeking to protect Biden from himself, and to look after US interests, by cancelling an intervention that could have provoked a furious Russian reaction. But it was an astonishing moment none the less, demonstrating that Biden’s role is now largely ceremonial: this is a collegiate administration, with an all-powerful Democratic Cabinet and federal bureaucracy. What Biden says should not be taken too seriously. He is not the fount of power, and has a habit of blurting out what colleagues might have been discussing in private.
Time and again in recent days, the President’s pronouncements have been “walked back” by those really in charge. Most notably, he wrongly told members of the 82nd Airborne Division that they would be “going to” Ukraine soon; he said America would respond “in kind” were the Russians to use chemical weapons.
His worst blunder came when he claimed prior to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine that “it’s one thing if it’s a minor incursion and then we end up having a fight about what to do and not do”. He was then asked whether he was “effectively giving Putin permission to make a small incursion into the country”. Biden’s answer sent an even more catastrophic message to the Russians: “Good question. That’s how it did sound like, didn’t it?”
You might have expected the intervention by his officials over regime change in particular to have triggered a massive row in Washington – where in the US constitution does it say that officials dictate policy? – but it was not to be. The double standards among America’s Left-leaning elite, who are pretending not to notice what is happening, are staggering.
After four years of a bitter war with Donald Trump, much of the US media establishment has returned to its old deferential approach now that one of their own is back in the White House. To them, the appearance of normality, the fake return to mainstream codes of behaviour, the fact that Ivy Leaguers are back in charge at Treasury and State, matters far more than the reality, which is that the president isn’t really presiding and that America’s constitution is once again in deep crisis. It is a scandal.
Mainstream commentators were grumpy at the White House denials, but refused to ask the obvious questions about the president’s series of gaffes or to demand an investigation into why this may be happening. Had this been Trump, there would have been calls for the Cabinet to at least consider invoking the 25th amendment to the US constitution relating to whether a president could be considered unfit to remain in office.
Why such leniency towards Biden? Is it because the Democrats believe that Kamala Harris, the vice president, is simply not good enough to become president, were this to prove necessary? Is it because they believe in the idea of a Platonic lie, that it is in America’s interest to pretend that Biden is still fully in charge, to stop Trump from making a comeback? Or is it because they are terrified at opinion polls showing that the Republicans are set to sweep the mid-term elections? There is no excuse for failing to scrutinise and hold to account any president, regardless of party.
Biden’s shocking weakness also helps to explain the disastrous drift of US policy in all other respects. He was supposedly elected as a reasonable centrist, a liberal rather than a woke activist, a traditional Democrat rather than a neo-socialist.
Yet on economics, his latest tax proposal is far worse than anything Jeremy Corbyn dreamt up. Biden wants to tax unrealised capital gains, something that has never been attempted before in this way. He wants to tax wealthy Americans – in reality, not just billionaires but many other entrepreneurs and investors without whose contributions the US economy would collapse – on the basis of the paper increase in their fortunes. This would be a recipe for economic meltdown, a brain drain, capital flight and a massive recession.
Ordinary Americans as well as businesses are already fleeing Democratic-run cities, now plagued by out of control crime, dementedly woke school boards, surging taxes and, for long, overly strict Covid lockdowns. In the year to July 2021, the Left-wing-run New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles lost over 700,000 residents; meanwhile, conservative-run suburbs are booming. As Douglas Carswell has pointed out, some 80 per cent of the population growth took place in just 10 counties. Five of the fastest growing were in Republican Texas and two in Republican Florida.
On foreign policy, he is seeking to turn the clock back to the time when he was vice president. Biden is proposing a disastrous surrender to Iran on the nuclear issue, and even to remove the Revolutionary Guards’ terrorist designation. His withdrawal from Afghanistan was right in theory but catastrophically executed, and helped signal to rogue regimes that the US had gone soft.
The fact that Biden is in office, but not in power, has given his party’s hardliners free rein to wreak havoc. His presidency is turning out to be a catastrophe for America, and a calamity for the rest of the world. For how much longer will we have to put up with this travesty?ENDS
Maybe – one day – they’ll investigate who and how the US election was stolen – or the activities of Hunter Biden ….
But the trouble is that despite the catastrophic polling of Biden, most people won’t vote Republican because they are as bad as the Tories are here, cowardly useless and incompetent barring a few notable exceptions.
All the Republicans appear able to do is criticise Biden when everyone knows how bad he is.
What they are failing to do is to say what they would do and how it would improve the situation.
Listen to Donald Trump talk and you will here him lay out how badly Biden is doing, then he will talk about what he did when he was in office, laying out the proof of action, then, he will talk about what he would do now.
The rest of the party appear incapable of telling the people how they are going to get the country out of the mess Biden is causing.
Or take a look at the sensational success of Glen Youngkin in Virginia, and see the methods he used to secure a victory the Democrats were sure of.
If the Republicans are incapable of galvanising themselves to win with such a hated President in power then they will never win anything against a more competent Democrat President, and they need to rid themselves of candidates who are ineffective at campaigning – and quickly.

Thoughtful – you make an assumption that any further US election will be ‘fair ‘. Democrat counters will fix elections again – after all – they’ve got away with The Big One …
Then it’s even worse and the Dems will win again won’t they?
They Republicans have to have decisive wins, the way they are performing indicates they will not achieve that.
So what you’re saying Fed, is that the unholy alliance of Billary, Belosi, Barry, and Boden will be joined by Bominion (the new name for fixing stuff)?

Hi Scrob
The US voting system varies fron state to state and upto now no party has wanted a federal unified system
Our equivalent practice is the fixed postal vote used so well by the Far Left in third world ghettos like Tower Hamlets .
The Electoral Commission is about the same use as Ofcom so expect more fiddled vots 4 weeks today . …
Scrobie, Crayons? Do you mean FickAnge in FedSpeak?
We have a similar problem here because ‘conservatives’ are unlikely to vote Conservative again so we’ll probably end up with a
BlairLab mob coalition (not to mention all their ‘postal votes’).“None of the Above” Party
YOUR COMPLAINT:
President Trump’s 100 Days President Biden’s 0 Day
Dear Winston Smith in the Records Department of the Ministry of Truth,
You covered President Trump’s 100 Days and then produced a Beyond 100 Days to hold power to account.
Why have you not done the same for President Biden to hold power to account?

Loudness and tone are two differnt things
Zephir, thanks – enjoyed that, esp. Nathan East on bass.
Saw JB at the Hammersmith Odeon (or whatever it’s called now) a couple of years ago. Great gig. Everything plus kitchen sink thrown in there. Towards the end, he said that he was welcoming on a female guest singer whose name I didn’t catch. “Oh no”, I thought, “female guest singers frequently a disappointment (gross generalisation, I acknowledge, but have experienced a few). Oh well – it probably won’t last long”.
On she came, and proceeded to take the bloody roof off. Stupendous (Stewpendous, perhaps). Outstanding. Ended up very sorry she was only doing one song.
She was called Beth Hart, whom I’ve seen several times live since with her own band. This video with JB – “Id Rather Go Blind – Live In Amsterdam” is worth a listen/watch.

Mickey Grade might have a cred problem.
Now 56 votes in that Ofcom poll
#1 Such online polls can be trickery
they enable the poster to compile a database of who supports X and who supports Y
.. most people wisely stayed out of this one.
Ofcom’s campaign itself seems disinformation
Yes there is a true story to every issue
and there are false stories as well
.. Some of those are spread by idiots on the internet.
.. Yet, although media sneer , they too are prone to act in the same way. Modern media is inherently biased ..for one thing they prefer to tell a good story rather than a true one, secondly they promote their mates issues in PRasNews,
.. thirdly they hide inconvenient stories.
Ofcom are playing distraction game,
Their main job is to police MSM misinformation
but they make out ‘Misinformation is over there with online cranks’
Their press release and tweets use a graphic
At first glance their focus seems to say ‘Trust established sources’
.. Yet this a fallacy – Each story depends on the EVIDENCE it presents NOT who the MESSENGER is.
The classic is the small boy who is the true teller in the Emperor’s new clothes, whereas the entire establishment are WRONG.
The idea of Trusted Sources is a fallacy, based on the Fallacy of Argument from Authority.
I would suggest a completely different approach, mainly centred around keeping an open mind , accepting that you don’t know many things and avoiding rushing to certainty.
On doesn’t need certainty on most issues, cos the truth comes out over time.
How long can the clowns at the BBC ignore the explosive and devastating revelations of crooked Hunter Biden’s laptop?
Even the Washington Post – which has become nothing more than the PR arm of the Democrats – even WAPO is running an article exposing the massive illegal payments of millions of dollars by the Chinese to members of the crooked Biden clan.
So now we have massive payments by the Chinese, by the Ukrainians and by the Russians to crackhead, prostitute-addicted Hunter, and suggestions that “The Big Guy” was getting 10%.
WAPO: “But the new documents — which include a signed copy of a $1 million legal retainer, emails related to the wire transfers, and $3.8 million in consulting fees that are confirmed in new bank records and agreements signed by Hunter Biden — illustrate the ways in which his family profited from relationships built over Joe Biden’s decades in public service.”
So Joe Biden’s whole career has been spent setting his family up (Jim Biden was in on the grift too) with dodgy regimes, for which he got a cut.
And still the BBC turn a blind eye to what should be the most explosive story for decades. It has everything: sex drugs and rock and roll; and a President who was getting a cut from his family’s dirty dealings with at least 3 countries at the epicentre of world events. How compromising is that? You couldn’t make it up!
According to the Mail a few weeks ago: “The media’s shameless complicity in censoring the Hunter Biden laptop story is a betrayal of the American public and it is flushing their little bit of remaining credibility down the toilet”.
Those words could equally apply to the BBC: “it is flushing their little bit of remaining credibility down the toilet”.

But you know what’s worse?
The blind & blinkered belief that politicians here are so noble they would never get up to anything like this. And so that makes it even easier for the ones who would, and for me personally I would place Boris Johnson under suspicion in a heartbeat as someone who would sell his own soul for a fast buck.
It’s nothing to do with being partisan, it’s a question of character. Although I regard Theresa May as a Marxist infiltrator of the Tory party and regard her as one of the worst leaders ever (which takes some doing) I don’t think she would take dirty money.
You might be right but I don’t think our politicians could get away with anything quite so blatant.

Lots of media coverage on the man who stabbed hais neighbours, one of them to death, but not much coverage on his ethnicity as per usual.
With a name like Can Arslan, it’s hardly your usual British normal name, and sure enough the name originates in the Turkic states of South Western Asia.
There’s no mention of the fact of his origin, his migrationi status, when he came to Britain and how he came to be allowed to remain her, but yet again it’s another migrant murdering a British citizen the victim of fantasy land politicians in a bubble of lies where everything is pink fluffy clouds and all the world loves everyone, and its only the horrid White men who spoil everything.

“He accepted everything. The past was alterable. The past never had been altered. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia. Jones, Aaronson, and Rutherford were guilty of the crimes they were charged with. He had never seen the photograph that disproved their guilt. It had never existed, he had invented it. He remembered remembering contrary things, but those were false memories, products of self-deception. How easy it all was! Only surrender, and everything else followed. It was like swimming against a current that swept you backwards however hard you struggled, and then suddenly deciding to turn round and go with the current instead of opposing it. Nothing had changed except your own attitude: the predestined thing happened in any case. He hardly knew why he had ever rebelled. Everything was easy, except—!
Anything could be true. The so-called laws of Nature were nonsense. The law of gravity was nonsense. ‘If I wished,’ O’Brien had said, ‘I could float off this floor like a soap bubble.’ Winston worked it out. ‘If he thinks he floats off the floor, and if I simultaneously think I see him do it, then the thing happens.’ Suddenly, like a lump of submerged wreckage breaking the surface of water, the thought burst into his mind: ‘It doesn’t really happen. We imagine it. It is hallucination.’ He pushed the thought under instantly. The fallacy was obvious. It presupposed that somewhere or other, outside oneself, there was a ‘real’ world where ‘real’ things happened. But how could there be such a world? What knowledge have we of anything, save through our own minds? All happenings are in the mind. Whatever happens in all minds, truly happens.
He had no difficulty in disposing of the fallacy, and he was in no danger of succumbing to it. He realized, nevertheless, that it ought never to have occurred to him. The mind should develop a blind spot whenever a dangerous thought presented itself. The process should be automatic, instinctive. Crimestop, they called it in Newspeak.”

1. Islam asks for one simple thing. Islam asks for everything – finance, religion, police, morals, schools, law, food, science, clothes, art and your body to be Islamic.
2. Islam only has two problems – Muhammed and Mohammed. Once the first problem has been solved then the second one can be solved easily.
3. Islam offers three things. In the Koran it offers Peace, War and then a Continuation of War. In your life Islam wants you to subjugate yourself, subjugate your family and then subjugate everyone else.

he Foreign Office handed out free headscarves to staff and encouraged them to learn why Muslim women wear the garment as part of its World Hijab Day celebrations.
The Government department, headed up by Boris Johnson, offered all employees the chance to wear a hijab for part of their day to mark the worldwide event on February 1.
I see that was dated 2017 and 2018. PLEASE tell me we’ve stopped that obscene nonsense, at a time when heroic women in muslim countries are being jailed, beaten, tortured and raped for the right NOT to wear those revolting symbols of oppression.

Keir Starmer wants to know the names of those who are to be fined for breaking covid lockdown rules during Partygate, that essentially highly criminal enterprise which resulted in people eating and drinking in the wrong place at the wrong time. And to be fair to SirKeer, so do the BBC and even more so ITV, whose gay political editor shares his life with someone who just happens to work in the cabinet office.
Meanwhile, Shrewsbury NHS Trust manage to kill 200 babies and injure hundreds more plus their mothers. And no-one seems to want to know any names of those responsible.
So maybe we should forgive Boris for his misdemeanours and insist, as with Shrewsbury, he gets improved processes, more funding, and better training. If it’s good enough for those who kill, it must be good enough for those who eat and drink.

Sunderland businessman’s second wife website ‘benefits women’
Published23 October 2017
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-41667070
In the UK, polygamous marriages – where a person has more than one spouse – are only recognised if they took place in countries where they are legal.
However, no UK laws stop unregistered religious ceremonies taking place.
Azad Chaiwala told BBC Inside Out: “The second wife website came about from my need, and thinking there’ll be other people in my situation.”
Most Muslims in the UK do not practise polygamy, but some interpretations of the Koran say that a man may marry two, three or four women, so long as he can deal justly and fairly with each of them.

Good Afternoon from the devolved utopia which is Brigadoon.
Sadly, that description could not be further from the truth, however, the £32 million bBC Scotland outfit has for the first time seriously
challenged Krankie.
This is about the building of 2 island ferries – currently 5 years late and with no clear finish date in sight – the costs have risen from £97 m to £250m, with some commentators suggesting it will be £400 m when all is done.
What’s come out of this debacle is that this SNP has been a complete disaster for Scotland.
We now own a nationalised Airport ( Prestwick) where £44 million has been written off and no serious bids have been received.
The Ferries are being built at a now nationalised shipyard.
But the best is still to come
The railways….they come into nationalisation on Friday…April 1st.
a £7 billion operation….YIKES!
What could possibly go wrong?
PS See Krankie escaped to prince Philip,s memorial service…

Today again
Still pondering – the Rachel reeve interview today – she promised no ‘relief ‘ from increasing Energy / cost of living for 2 thirds of the voting population under labour .
She could not bring herself to say that no government can do that . If raw material prices increase – food or fuel – then up go retail prices – who ever is in power
…. However … if the public sector was cut back – fuel taxes could be reduced … which would be a start …
First of all . Of course I know that the BBC consider women
sports at the very least equal to men’s sports. That includes
Football, Cricket, Rugby. Maybe they are right and I am just
a pale stale, male. So to see five out of the first nine features
on the sports website to be.
” Defending Champions England book World Cup final place”
“LGBTQ issues remain for Qatar” ” Wyatt’s 129 send England into Final” ” Vote for best catch in Women’s Cup” ” How
football is evolving to help players in Ramadan.”
I think this is a fair reflection of the BBC’S attitude towards
sport. And you may think this is how it should be.
Oh I forgot to say that semi finals of the women’s
Champions League takes major prominence as well.
For me, who was a bookmaker. The number one women’s
sports achievement is that of Rachael Blackmore the jockey.
I think what she has achieved is absolutely amazing. Because
even riding the best horses to win races. One needs not only
finesse ,but strength . And this women riding against the
very best male jockey’s is at the very least their equal.

Are we entering a ‘Golden Age’ for trade unions? coo the BBC in obvious delight.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-60912464
After all trade unions are magnificently lefty and Labour so what’s not to like?
All very egalitarian hey?
They have quite obviously forgotten the ‘Winter of discontent’ in the 1970’s when rapidly growing unions ranging from Teachers, Health Workers and Local Authority staff, not to mention Miners and Car Workers, Electricity Workers, Steel Workers, Dustmen, Rail Workers, Bus Drivers and anybody else with a grievance turned the UK into a nightmare of disruption and menace at the behest of their Union overlords. After which the UK economy tanked for a long time.
I recall having electricity supplies only 3 days a week, rubbish piling up in the streets, companies shutting down without power and having to send staff home frequently etc. etc. etc.
Golden Age?
How would they charge their iPhone’s? charge their electric cars plus no Twitter or Facebook etc.
On the plus side, the massive public backlash ushered in Mrs Thatcher to sort them all out.
As an addendum to my last post I recall as a newly formed freelance Graphic Designer fresh from College I was treated to a visit by two thugs from the local chapter of the National Graphical Association (NGA) who threatened to get all my work blacklisted by local printers and newspapers if I didn’t join the NGA and told me they would ‘Shut me down, whatever it takes’ if I didn’t agree.
Two Lovely Golden Age union chaps!
I told them in the vernacular to take a long walk off a short pier!
The automotive unions and in particular the one taken over by avowed communist “Red Robbo” in the West Midlands were instrumental in decapitatiing a once globally great and proud British car industry. Again, hardly a “Golden Age” BBC!

The BBC puts on its professorial voice to ask: Could the World Cope without Russian Oil and Gas?
Answer: No, you f*****s, because people like you, the eco-fascists and, most of all, Biden have severely crippled oil and gas production in the West.
Of course the article has not one word of criticism for the Imbecile in the White House who did his best to destroy US production while greenlighting Nord Stream 2 at the very beginning of his Presidency.

Just caught some panel discussion by the BBC on Ukraine, hosted by someone called something like Zany Bandana, though I might have misspelt that.
What a shambles. She was hyper and excitable from the start, and it was downhill thereon in. Out of her depth and out of breath, constantly hurrying up the questioners and the panelists, and interrupting them, with the result that no-one got to fully develop their point.
On top of which her frenzied nervousness was contagious, making everyone shout and garble their questions and answers. (People do that, when they know they’re about to get cut off at any moment by an incompetent ringmaster.)
Not helped by the fact that none of the people were fluent in English, something the stupid beeb should have taken into account in the planning and allowed time for.
Naturally, Zany managed a dig at Trump and a few plugs for the EU.
Verdict: Useless.
As we say in Ukraine: Іди на хуй ВВС!

BBC 1 6 pm news.
A policeman in Rotherham has been found not to have done anything wrong regarding the Rotherham rapes.
And to add insult to injury, the BBC manage to mention that 1400 young girls were abused over nigh on 20 years without any mention of the perpetrators. Anyone would think it was Ramadan. Oh, wait.
So yet again, as with Shrewsbury NHS Trust, massive , catastrophic, public sector failure. And yet amazingly no-one is accountable for anything. Trebles all round.
PS and if you want yet more, check out wee Burnie in Scotland who is presiding over millions of overspend and years of delay in the extremely dodgy contracts for two new Calmac ferries.
Nationalised industries for nationalised ferry services. A vicious circle of total failure. And the SNP write a blank cheque paid for by the (increasingly) poor taxpayer.
Oh. hang on, Boris had cheese and wine now there’s a story we can bang on and on and on about.
All of a sudden the bbc has decided it has to hold power to account rather than reporting news
except in the USA for the last couple of years, and Canada
@Sluff – Yes, the police in Rotherham (and a hundred other places we never hear of) were culpable, but so too are opinion formers like the BBC who created the climate in which the various authorities were terrified to investigate or expose the paedophile muslim rape gangs for fear of accusations of islamophobia and racism.
Needless to say, the practise continues to this day.

The greening of Boris Johnson
The prime minister is gung-ho about climate change—perhaps too much so for his new voters
https://www.economist.com/britain/2021/10/30/the-greening-of-boris-johnson
Petersham Nursery Tories think nothing of spending £100,000 on a Tesla and £15,000 on a heat pump,not to mention more on every mouthful of organic cruelty-free food. But the Lidl Tories who voted for Mr Johnson because they thought he was on their side against meddling bureaucrats and their expensive regulations will have a different view. If anything can break the seemingly adamantine link between Mr Johnson and his Tory faithful, it is the long-term cost of his green conversion.
