Only 37% approve of Biden and Democrats on the economy and only 30% on inflation.  You know Dems are in trouble when even left wing CNN is forced to call them out and calls "Bidenomics" is a failure.

From the IRA to the CHIPs Act to his infrastructure program. every bill Biden signs on the economy means higher costs for Americans, more public debt, and more crony capitalism.

This is absolutely unbelievable.  Garland appointed a special council but instead of someone independent he appointed a crony.  The same guy who tried to give Hunter Biden complete immunity for all crimes in exchange for a few months probation.  He is also the same guy who whistle blowers at the FBI said prevented them from meaningfully investigating the Biden's and this crony even called Hunter Biden's attorney ahead of time warning them the FBI was going to search a storage unit.  This allowed the Biden's to completely clean out the storage unit this hiding evidence.

Biden is corrupt as can be and everyone should know it now.

The Biden administration has touted a $1.2 billion program designed to capture "legacy carbon" from the air and then permanently store it underground or convert it to concrete to offset emissions.

The seperated CO2 would then be "safely and permanently stored deep underground" or perhaps be converted into concrete. The latter is likely in reference to a process of injecting carbon into concrete materials in hopes that the amount of the stored carbon is greater than the amount output by the processing of said concrete.

This is of course a subtle admission that reducing emissions at the point of manufacturing or lessening energy consumption is not actually the proposed plan, but rather finding ways to eliminate carbon after the fact is.

I'll  have to shop Alibaba to see if I can find a CO2 generator....

Biden, who has reportedly spent over a year of his presidency on vacation, was recently lambasted for idling on a beach in Delaware while historic wildfires raged in Maui, Hawaii, claiming the lives of at least 106 people and torching over 2,100 acres.

When Biden finally returned to his post, he prompted outrage again, declining to comment on the tragedy.

On Tuesday, the Democratic octogenarian broke his silence on Maui, but appeared at times unable to name the island on the minds and lips of many Americans, including the former Democratic state representative official who has called him out despite having previously campaigned for him.

The Biden administration's "unlawful food stamp expansion" is driving "massive spikes in grocery prices," a new government watchdog report finds.

A study released Thursday by the Foundation for Government Accountability reported that the largest permanent increase in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program in 2021 has been linked to a national spike in grocery prices.

"In 2021, the Biden administration rushed through the largest permanent increase in food stamp benefits since the program was created, hiking benefits by an average of 27 percent," the report stated.

The FGA accused the Biden admin of pushing through an "unlawful expansion" of the program and called on Congress to repeal it and require congressional approval moving forward.

"This unlawful expansion — which bypassed Congress — will cost taxpayers $250 billion over the next decade and has heavily contributed to soaring grocery prices," the report continued. "Congress should repeal President Biden's unlawful food stamp expansion and ensure this type of executive overreach cannot happen again. In doing so, Congress could save taxpayers more than $193 billion over the next decade."

The Congressional Budget Office estimated that the food stamp expansion could cost United States taxpayers more than $1 trillion over the next decade.

Jonathan Ingram, vice president of policy and research at the FGA, told Fox News Digital, "USDA cooked their books to hike food stamp benefits by 27% — the largest permanent increase in program history. And they bypassed Congress to do it."

"Data show the Biden administration's overreach led to massive spikes in grocery prices. They're feeding inflation, not stopping hunger," Ingram added.

The FGA reported that, according to the World Bank, for every 12.5% increase in SNAP spending, grocery prices increase by 1%.

Between December 2019 and March 2023, margarine costs rose 59%, eggs 54%, and frozen vegetables 36%, the Labor Department reported.

"Food stamp spending hikes could account for at least two-thirds of that increase. Per-capita food stamp spending grew by more than 90 percent between December 2019 and March 2023 — even after the pandemic-related emergency allotments expired. After accounting for emergency allotments and pandemic EBT programs, total food stamp spending had nearly tripled while those programs were in effect. This suggests food stamp spending increases fueled grocery price increases of more than 15 percent," the study found.

The Biden regime is no better than any other corrupt regime that they lecture.

Nearly 7 million illegal aliens have been "encountered" on Biden's watch, the highest number ever. And of those, close to 3 million have been released into the United States (the others were expelled under the now-defunct Title 42 or were just the same people being counted multiple times for multiple attempts).

This week The Washington Post reported that Border Patrol arrests of border-jumpers climbed more than 30% in August, on top of a 30%-plus increase in July. And of the average of nearly 6,000 border-infiltrators a day last month, about half were in "family migrant units" — illegal immigrants bringing children with them — the highest level ever recorded.

Kamala Harris sent mixed messages this week, dismissing concerns about President Joe Biden's decrepitude, then stressing she is ready to take over should the need arise.

In what turned out to be a controversial move, Harris ended up warming Biden's seat at the annual Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit in Jakarta, Indonesia, where the president's absence was seen by some foreign dignitaries as an untimely snub and by critics as yet another signal that he is no longer up to the task of leading the world's greatest superpower.

Biden is being blasted over his latest lie, this time told to service members, first responders, and the families of victims on the 22nd anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

In his 9/11 memorial speech Monday, Biden claimed that he visited Ground Zero in New York City the day after the attack. The truth of the matter, detailed in his own memoir and documented on film, is that he was hundreds of miles away at the time.

Civil servants that are loyal the democRATs, but not the folks they are supposed to serve are being protected by Jim Crow Joe.

Biden quietly makes it harder for future Republican presidents to slash size of the federal bureaucrac
https://www.theblaze.com/news/opm-rule-proposal-federal-employees?utm_source=theblaze-dailyPM&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Daily-Newsletter__PM%202023-09-18&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Daily%20PM

In 2020, then-President Donald Trump issued an executive order creating a new job category for federal employees: Schedule F. The new category would have applied to excepted employees whose job exerted any influence over policy. The directive would have essentially made these employee's "at will," and thus would have stripped them of their civil service protections. In theory, it would have made such employees easy to fire.

President Joe Biden rescinded the executive order after taking office.

What is the Biden admin proposing?

The Office of Personnel Management issued a rule proposal on Friday to give federal employees more protections and to rebuff future attempts at slashing the size of the federal workforce.

The new rule stipulates that any federal employee shifted from the competitive service to the excepted service will keep "the status and civil service protections they had already accrued." The rule also clarifies the definition of which employees have influence over policy to mean "noncareer, political appointments."

The rule proposal comes as Republican presidential candidates promise to reduce the size of the federal bureaucracy — comprising more than 2.2 million employees, according to OPM — if they win the White House.

Vivek Ramaswamy, for example, promises to slash more than 1 million jobs and ultimately 75% of the federal workforce over four years, while Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis says he will begin cutting jobs on day one of his presidency.

According to FedSmith, the "OPM proposal is obviously about politics and political power." Indeed, poorly performing civil employees are notoriously difficult to demote or terminate. Moreover, civil service employees are supposed to be nonpartisan, but there is a strong perception that a significant number are not.

Should it be difficult to remove overly partisan career employees? That's a question that remains open for debate. But make no doubt about it: the Biden administration is working hard to ensure that partisan and poorly performing employees remain difficult to remove.
