Dems are done singing the praises of ‘Bidenomics’
Democrats brag about the Biden economy. Not once have I heard them say which policies they would change. The only thing they want to do is stop using the term “Bidenomics.”
That doesn’t help the poor or the middle class or anyone. It is just changing words, and words without deeds are worthless.
It is like calling a policy that makes health care costs skyrocket the Affordable Care Act or a green slush fund that caused higher costs the Inflation Reduction Act. The words and names are just to mislead the public.
They are working as hard as they can to destroy the purchasing power of Americans with their green policies.
And their solution is to use the term “People over Politics” instead of “Bidenomics,” as if that helps people who are having trouble paying their bills.
House Dems Ditch ‘Bidenomics’
“The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and House Majority PAC, two key fundraising arms, are also avoiding it on social media and press releases, as polling indicates the tagline is ineffective.
“In a meeting this past summer to discuss economic messaging strategy, House Democrats decided to stick with ‘People Over Politics’ rather than ‘Bidenomics,’ one senior Democrat leadership aide told Axios.”
And the Democrat campaign staff at the WaPo are trying to convince us that the current economic disaster is normal and has created a miracle economy. They brag that somehow an inflation rate that is still over twice the inflation rate Biden inherited is somehow a great achievement.
The U.S. economy’s big problem? People forgot what ‘normal’ looks like.
It has been a miracle year for the U.S. economy. Inflation has plummeted without triggering a recession.
Here are a few tidbits about plummeting inflation: do these facts indicate a miracle?
When Biden was elected, crude oil was around $40 per barrel. Today, after declining somewhat, it is a little over $72, or up 80%.
Unleaded gas on the NYSE was $1.12 when he was elected, and today it is $2.11, or up around 90%.
Heating oil was $1.20. Today, it is $2.63, or up around 135%.
Crude oil is used in over 6,000 products, and energy prices affect almost everything we use. Biden’s goal of destroying companies that use coal and oil sent the message to oil-producing countries and traders, and they knew they will have much more control if the government in the U.S. no longer desires to be a major competitor.
Caving to the green pushers indicates that Biden and his administration put politics over people, not the other way around.
Housing affordability has reached the lowest level in 40 years, and pending sales of existing homes has reached the lowest on record. That is a strange definition of a miracle unless they mean that it is a miracle that things are this bad with the government increasing its spending so rapidly.
Slowest Housing Market in Years Is Weighing on Consumer Spending
In October, mortgage rates reached their highest level since 2000, helping to make housing the least affordable since at least the 1980s.
On Thursday, the effects of low affordability became even clearer: a gauge of pending sales for existing homes reached its lowest level since the measure started in 2001.
Trump’s policies gave us low inflation; energy independence; rapidly rising real wages, especially for those at the bottom; and the lowest poverty rate on record at the end of 2019. The WaPo and most of the media not only didn’t brag about how great the economy was, but sought to destroy him every day.
Summary: Facts don’t matter to the media and other Democrats. The only thing that matters is power for Democrats, no matter how destructive the policies are, especially to the poor and the middle class whom Democrats only pretend to care about.
It is also an attempt to mislead the public to call Democrats and their policies progressive. Moving the country toward collapse is regressive, depressive, and oppressive, and that is what Democrats should be called.
Biden’s age is not the problem. Stop trying to change the subject from his disastrous policies, which will continue no matter which Democrat is on the ballot.

Latinos Con Kennedy: The Border & The Economy
Border Jumper Gushes, 'I Love You Joe Biden - Thank You For Everything!'
President Joe Biden and his lackeys may scream at the top of their lungs that the border isn’t open for illegal immigration, but the swarms of illegal aliens flooding into the United States from Mexico proves otherwise - and at least one illegal alien made no bones about why he came across.
Fox News’ Bill Melugin caught up with two border-jumpers from Africa who openly praised Biden for letting them into the United States.
“I love you Joe Biden, thank you for everything, Joe Biden!” one man gushed.
“I am good person. I want to be good person here,” he added.
The other man, this one from Liberia, explained, “I want a quality life. America is a land of opportunity."

Including, apparently, the opportunity to flout our laws, butt in line, jump our border unlawfully, and still be allowed into the country to do God only knows what.
Melugin reported both men said they have no intention of claiming asylum but believe they’ll be allowed to stay anyway.
“Both admitted to me they are not seeking asylum, & instead want work and opportunity in US. Both are planning to go to NYC,” Melugin added in his post along with the video.
New York City has already been inundated with tens of thousands of border-crossers who've flooded into the self-described sanctuary city looking for a tax-subsidized safety net and work, some of which has proven to be illicit. The city has estimated it will cost about $12 billion over the next few years to support all the migrants overwhelming the city's shelters and maxing out hotels.

The REAL Bidenomics: 12,000 Migrant Encounters at U.S. Southern Border Breaks Single-Day Record
The problems at the southern border of the U.S. seem to be so out of control some think it’s beyond repair. And now, as insane as it might be, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) are still reporting record levels of encounters with illegal immigrants attempting to enter the U.S.
According to Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin, he cited “CBP sources” on Wednesday in a post to X saying that there were more migrant encounters at the southern border on Tuesday alone than any day ever recorded.
“Per CBP sources, there were more than 12,000 migrant encounters at the southern border yesterday, the highest single day total ever recorded,” Melugin reported. “This includes 10,200+ Border Patrol apprehensions of illegal immigrants, amongst the highest daily totals for BP ever recorded.”

People from all over the world are turning themselves into criminals daily by attempting to enter the U.S. illegally, some allegedly being staged in other countries before their trek through Mexico to the southern border.
This border ignorance has morphed into an international invasion of the United States with little to no resistance from President Joe Biden’s regime.
A country without border ceases to be a country. So, one has to wonder what the motivation is for Biden’s minions in devaluing and degrading the sovereignty of the U.S.

Unless we are able to replace our greedy and compromised elected officials by fighting back against our corrupt electoral process (and here), we will forever be slaves, subject to the lies and intimidation of those currently in charge and forced to live with the rampant crime and ruined economy of a nation in decline with undefended borders.
It all comes down to restoring honest and fair elections, starting with exposing state voting rolls that are currently flooded with inaccurate data rendering results invalid. Local and state Board of Election officials who sign off on election certifications are guilty of serious federal and state crimes if they fail to follow laws scrupulously. Brave citizens in over 25 states have come forward to investigate and expose the blatant disregard for basic election procedures. We must support their efforts and demand our state legislators take back control of election procedures from governors, judges and bureaucrats.

Joe Biden: Republican ‘Petty’ Border Politics Block Ukraine Deal
The differences between GOP and Democrat border policies are just “petty partisan politics,” compared to Washington’s role in world politics, President Joe Biden declared mid-Wednesday.
“Petty partisan angry politics can’t get in the way of our responsibility as a leading nation in the world,” Biden said at a midday appearance in the White House.
The entire world is watching: What will the United States do? Think — if we don’t support Ukraine, what’s the rest of the world going to do? What’s Japan going to do … What’s going to happen in terms of the G7? What’s going to happen in terms of our NATO allies?
Many polls show that Biden’s economic strategy of Extraction Migration has broken public support for migration. For example, a recent poll shows that a majority of the Jewish community in New York said that migration is more of a burden than a benefit.
Many of the polls suggest that Biden’s migration will damage Democrat chances in 2024 and boost the GOP’s chances.
But Biden disdained the GOP’s policy preferences, even as his deputies pulled another 12,000 migrants across the border on Tuesday. That inflow would deliver more migrants than American births per year — and is in addition to the huge inflow of roughly two million migrants and temporary workers each year.
He said:
’ve already laid out in our negotiations with [Sen. James] Langford and others what we’re willing to do … starting off equipping the border capacity that we need on the border, from judges to more border security, in addition to making some substantive changes. But they’re unwilling to do it.
However, many GOP Senators are demanding the Democrats accept a funding bill that would largely eliminate the illegal immigration encouraged by Biden’s deputies.
Democrats are trying to rush the bill through the Senate, partly by claiming that Ukraine faces quick losses, even though the Pentagon has several months of funded supplies in the pipeline. “This cannot wait,” Biden said.
The backlog of existing funds likely allows the Senate to postpone the fight until 2024, when election priorities loom large.
So far, Biden and other Democrats have not been pressed by the media to explain why they prefer to block the aid package than accept the GOP’s border enforcement plan.
Senate Democrats have scheduled a vote on Wednesday to push their spending package through the Senate without any concessions to the GOP on border security. The package includes $14 billion to help Biden’s deputies deliver millions of migrants into American communities during the next year.
The vote may be canceled because of GOP support for border reforms.
GOP and Democrat Senators negotiated a draft deal, but Democrats backed off amid furious lobbying by West Coast investors, who gain wealth from the inflow of more consumers, renters, and workers.
Biden, however, blamed Republicans.
“They’ve walked away — it’s ‘Take everything we have here’ on their one proposal, which is extreme or nothing,” he said.
The Democrats’ top leader in the Senate, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), issued a veiled warning to the GOP on Wednesday. Just before he talked about the border issue, he touted his win over Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), who this week dropped his month-long hold on military promotions:
We were persistent and persistent and persistent and held the line … So let this be a warning … After all the damage he caused, Senator Tuberville has nothing, absolutely nothing, to show for his obstruction, except for the harm done to our military and the pain caused to military families.
Schumer continued:
It was the Republican leader and others on the Republican side in the House and Senate — mainly from the hard right — who demanded that border and Ukraine be tied together … We don’t have much time to keep negotiating off the floor of all if all do is go around in circles which is what’s happened over the last three weeks …
You can bet, my colleagues, Vladimir Putin is watching. Hamas is certainly watching. Iran, President Xi, North Korea, all of our adversaries are closely watching. Let us do the right thing and move forward today.
The Senate GOP proposal is a watered-down version of the House-passed H.R.2 border stabilization bill. The bill sharply reduces the authority of Biden’s deputies to smuggle more migrants via the asylum and parole loopholes.
To the surprise of skeptical advocates, GOP Senators are sticking their heels in amid the media-magnified Democrat pressure.
“This is not about reaching a bipartisan compromise on immigration reform,” Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) said in a Wednesday press conference, adding:
There have been debates about that in the past. There’ll be debates about that in the future. That’s not what this debate is about. This is fundamentally a national security issue. This is about changes that need to be made to protect the homeland to protect our southern border.
…
We, as Republicans, want to solve this problem Joe Biden and Senate Democrats need to step up, get serious and pass border security measures. The time is now. We need policy changes. It’s about tightening asylum standards and reining in the [Department of Homeland Security’s] parole powers
Alejandro Mayorkas, Biden’s Cuban-born, pro-migration border chief, is using parole and parole loopholes to extract millions of subservient migrants from poor countries by dangling jobs, homes, and free K-12 schools throughout the United States. That Extraction Migration economic policy is shifting vast wealth from ordinary citizens to CEOs, investors, and migrants.
Daines said:
Just when we thought we’d heard the worst of it, here’s one more story to build on why we need to solve the problem on the southern border. We just learned that the VA healthcare resources — the VA — are being used to facilitate healthcare to illegal migrants.
Veterans have a hard enough time getting the care that they need, and now they have to compete with illegal immigrants?
“Biden’s border crisis puts illegal immigrants first and puts our veterans last,” he added.
Republicans Block Democrats’ Funding of Mass Illegal Migration
All 49 GOP senators united to defeat the Democrats’ plan to accelerate, expand, and hide the inflow of millions of illegal migrants during the 2024 election year.
The Democratic funding plan needed 60 voters to start the floor debate. But the start was blocked by 5o to 49 votes — and it will likely return in January.
Democrats tried to strong-arm the GOP by attaching the $14 billion in migration money to a spending package for causes the GOP leadership wants to support — $61 billion for embattled Ukraine and $14 billion for Israel.
GOP senators said they support the military aid — but blocked the package with the migration funding.
“Tonight is a sad night in the history of the Senate and in our country,” lamented Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), the pro-migration leader of the Senate Democrats. He continued:
If Republicans in the Senate do not get serious very soon about a national security package, Vladimir Putin is going to walk right through Ukraine and right through Europe … Western democracy will begin to enter an age of decline, if we aren’t willing to defend it.
“The question before us is simple: Will senators rise to defend Western democracy, protect our fundamental values, and support our friends abroad fighting for their lives?” Schumer claimed before the vote.
He tried to bulldoze GOP opposition — and shape media coverage — by hiding the planned, government-funded expansion of illegal migration:
This is a moment history will record. The answer to all these questions should be an emphatic yes. At stake is America’s safety, the survival of democracy, and the future of the war on Ukraine. As we’ve always done in our history, the Senate should rush to the defense of democracy and stand up to autocratic brutes … Vladimir Putin is watching closely to see if the Senate will approve [aid] to Ukraine. Whether or not we approve an aid package will likely sway the outcome of the war.
But all GOP senators, including many who favor migration for business, voted to block the Democrat’s plan. For example, both Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) voted against the plan, even though both voted to confirm Biden’s pro-migration border chief.
The GOP unity was explained by multiple GOP senators and also by the small-d democratic logic of the November 2024 elections.
Many polls show that Biden’s economic strategy of Extraction Migration has broken public support for migration. For example, a recent poll shows a majority of the Jewish community in New York said migration is more of a burden than a benefit.
Many of the polls suggest Biden’s migration will damage Democratic chances in 2024 and boost the GOP’s chances — if GOP politicians show progress in curbing and exposing the massive inflow engineered by President Joe Biden, his pro-migration border chief, and the Democrats in the House and Senate.
Many GOP senators explained why they would oppose the spending bill if Democrats refuse to stabilize the border.
They are pushing a watered-down version of the House-passed H.R.2 border stabilization bill. The House bill sharply reduces the authority of Biden’s deputies to smuggle more migrants via the asylum and parole loopholes.
“The message from Republicans to the President of the United States is this: There will not be a national security bill unless and until there is serious and significant changes in security at our southern border,” Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) said on December 5:
The White House has to become actively and consequentially engaged in changing what is happening right now at the southern border. Republicans and Democrats have totally different views on what’s needed at the southern border. The public will tell you we need to stop the flood of illegal immigrants coming into this country and send them back. Democrats want to wave them through in record numbers. Ten thousand yesterday, some days 8,000, 9,000, 10,000, day after day from all around the world.
Our southern border is now the most dangerous border in the world. Criminals, drug dealers, terror suspects — it has become a magnet for those people to our southern border. And what do Democrats want to do? [Give] money to sanctuary cities, government benefits to illegal immigrants. That’s not going to solve the problem. That’s going to make it worse. It’s going to incentivize more people to come here illegally.
We know what we need. We need more Border Patrol agents on the southern border, who have the power to actually enforce the law. We need to keep illegal immigrants out and keep our communities safe.
Communities all across this country are suffering under the burden of these terrible disasters … So Chuck Schumer can bring a bill to the floor of the Senate. If it doesn’t include what we need on border security, it will fail. Republicans will vote against it.
Barrasso is one of the leading candidates to replace GOP leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY).
But Democrats spurned the GOP proposals to block Biden’s illegal migration. The GOP is offering “draconian far-right immigration policies that will never become law,” said Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA).
Biden’s economic policy of Extraction Migration has pulled at least four million foreign workers into the nation’s workplaces. That flood was urged and welcomed by business groups because it cuts Americans’ blue-collar wages and white-collar salaries. It also reduces marketplace pressure to invest in productivity-boosting technology, heartland states, and overseas markets. and it reduces economic pressure on the federal government to deal with the drug and “Deaths of Despair” crises.
Biden’s easy-migration policies are deliberately adding the foreigners’ problems to the lengthening list of Americans’ problems — homelessness, low wages, a shrinking middle class, slowing innovation, declining blue-collar life expectancy, spreading poverty, the rising death toll from drugs, and the spreading alienation among young people.

NYC: Illegal Immigrant ‘Sanctuary’ Sees Homeless Population Surge as Busloads from Texas Continue to Arrive
New York City’s homeless population is surging thanks, in part, to the continued arrival of busloads of illegal immigrants from Texas being sent to the self-proclaimed “sanctuary.”
In the city’s Fiscal Year (FY) ending June 30, the homeless population increased 73%, rising from 46,675 in FY2022 to 80,724 in FY2023, according to statistics published last month in a financial report by the city’s comptroller.
“More than 22,000 asylum seekers applied for shelter through DHS as of April 2023,” the comptroller said in an August review of the city’s homeless situation, apparently counting all migrants as “asylum seekers.”
Last week, migrants set up camp in front of the mayor’s residence, to protest the time limit on how long they can live in one of the city’s shelters, regional network Spectrum News NY 1 reports:
“On Thursday, dozens of protestors set up tents and sleeping bags outside of Gracie Mansion, blasting the city’s recent restrictions on the length of time migrants can stay in shelters before they have to reapply for housing.”
The city currently has a 30-day shelter limit for adults and a 60-day limit for families.
In a September press release warning of the financial burden of actually having to be a sanctuary, Democrat New York City Mayor estimated that approximately 10,000 “asylum” seekers are “still arriving each month.”
The comptroller’s review says the city’s shelter system has been “overwhelmed” by the surge in immigration that began in 2022 when Texas – which was already being overwhelmed by illegal immigration – began busing immigrants to the “sanctuary” New York City had promised them:
“In October 2022, at the peak of the surge in migrants seeking asylum, DHS reported the highest-ever number of homeless people living within the shelter system.
“DHS stated that starting in April 2022, the State of Texas began sending buses of migrant asylum seekers to New York City. Buses arrived unannounced and unscheduled, and the people on them—most of whom had crossed into the United States via the southern border—were in need of shelter and care.
“By April 4, 2023, 22,002 asylum seeker households had applied for shelter through DHS. In response, the City opened 135 emergency sites between June 2022 and May 2023 for asylum seekers.
“The City shelter system was overwhelmed by this surge. The shelter population reached its highest-ever daily population by October 5, 2022, with over 61,000 people recorded. Although other City agencies have since stepped in to help shoulder part of this burden, the number of people in DHS shelters continued to grow. On March 1, 2023, the daily population in DHS shelters reached 70,848 people.”
On Friday, Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott reported that his state has bused more than 22,800 migrants to New York City since August of 2022, as part of the multi-agency border security measure, Operation Lone Star.
To deal with the staggering cost of the immigrant surge, Mayor Adams has announced the city is reducing its number of police and making across-the-board budget cuts:
“[M]ake no mistake: Migrant costs are going up, tax revenue growth is slowing and COVID stimulus funding is drying up.”
New York City’s migrant crisis will cost nearly $11billion over two fiscal years and its FY2025 budget gap is expected to “surpass unprecedented $7 billion,” the mayor’s press release estimates.
Republicans Stand Firm as Democrats Use ‘Russia!’ Threats to Keep U.S. Borders Open
The GOP’s top leaders and pro-migration advocates are uniting behind popular border reforms while Democrats try to extort concessions with threats of Russian invasions.
“The Administration is continually ignoring the catastrophe at our own border,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said Monday in quick response to the White House’s December 4 claim that the GOP’s demand for popular border reforms will “kneecap Ukraine on the battlefield … [and increase] the likelihood of Russian victories.”
Johnson tweeted:
The Biden Administration has failed to substantively address any of my conference’s legitimate concerns about the lack of a clear strategy in Ukraine, a path to resolving the conflict, or a plan for adequately ensuring accountability for aid provided by American taxpayers. Meanwhile, the Administration is continually ignoring the catastrophe at our own border.
House Republicans have resolved that any national security supplemental package must begin with our own border. We believe both issues can be agreed upon if Senate Democrats and the White House will negotiate reasonably.
The House passed the H.R.2 border stabilization bill, backed by roughly 30 GOP Senators. The bill is intended to block the administration’s policy of sneaking millions of wage-cutting, rent-spiking economic migrants into the United States via expanded asylum and parole loopholes.
