Assistant Press Secretary Michael Kikukawa shows that The White House is still Cloud MAGA Cuckoo Land
. . . with inflation still high, interest rates on goods stubbornly
through the roof and the housing market hobbling, Biden’s handling of
the economy takes hit after hit in polls. Voters say they felt better
off financially under his predecessor — whom he will likely meet again
in the 2024 general election — leaving Democrats to suggest it’s time
for the Biden campaign to change its game on the matter. ...
"We’re working every day to show the American people what President Biden and Congressional Democrats have delivered by lowering prescription drug prices, creating manufacturing jobs, and rebuilding our roads and bridges,” said Michael Kikukawa, assistant White House press secretary.
“That’s Bidenomics, and recent elections have shown that Americans prefer it to trickle-down MAGAnomics. We will continue reaching out to the portion of Americans who are not yet aware of those incredibly popular accomplishments,” he said.

Gasoline averaged $2.48825/gallon for the four years 2017-2020, which Obama infamously said was impossible
Add in 2015 and 2016 and it averaged $2.42383.
In October 2023 under Obama 2.0 Americans pay 56% more than that.
Titans of American business pay to have dinner with genocidal dictator Xi Jinping
Elon Musk was there, too, but this story never mentions it:
Xi’s 10 years as president are marked by a genocide against China’s Muslim minority, attempts to wipe out Tibetan culture, and persecution of Christians and followers of Falun Gong – not to mention a crackdown on democracy, religious freedom, and civil rights in Hong Kong.
Yet, during official and unofficial meetings this week, there was no mention of the long list of atrocities. Instead, Xi received an unusually warm reception.
On Wednesday night in the confines of San Francisco’s Hyatt Regency ballroom, America’s corporate chieftains gathered to fete Xi as a “guest of honor” at a banquet drawing nearly 400 attendees. The gala took place on the sidelines of the Asian Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, a gathering of 21 member countries to support free trade and business ties.
The executives were so excited to share the room with the Chinese president that they gave him two standing ovations before Xi uttered a word. American titans of business, including Apple’s Tim Cook and Blackstone’s Steve Schwarzman, Black Rock’s Larry Fink, Boeing’s Stanley Deal, and Pfizer’s Albert Bourla, joined Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo to rub shoulders with Xi and a cohort of Chinese officials.
Tickets for the banquet started at $2,000 each, with several companies shelling out $40,000 to buy eight seats at a table in the ballroom and one at Xi’s table. After Xi’s remarks, attendees provided yet another standing ovation, according to Reuters.
Some executives made no attempt to hide their gushing. On the way into the Hyatt, Bridgewater Associates hedge fund founder Ray Dalio told the Financial Times that he was “excited to have this relationship [with Xi].”
If Dalio entered the hotel from the main lobby, he couldn’t
have avoided the polar opposite scene and messaging. A Tibetan student
activist named Tsela had strapped herself to a flagpole and was waving
the Tibetan flag when Xi and his entourage arrived. Other activists from
Students for a Free Tibet chanted “Murderer” at the Chinese leader,
“Down with the CCP,” and “Human Rights in Tibet.”

Lyin' commie Xi Jinpingpong is in town saying China seeks no sphere of influence lol
Massive new Chinese military capabilities built up in the South China Sea say otherwise, but the west coast tech traitors just clap, and clap, and clap some more for this guy.
Meanwhile grandpa poopy pants at the pope party had a similar, brief, and extremely unfortunate truth eruption in front of the press, calling Xi a dictator, spoiling the moment for the Chicoms.
The whole thing stinks, even after cleaning the streets in San Francisco for once, and yes, Gavin Newsom was in the middle of this.
US House Democrat minority leader Hakeem Jeffries crows over passage of more of the same old, same old bloated spending by continuing resolution
Looking forward to a Moody's downgrade, if they've got the guts. Congress certainly doesn't.
Senate sends funding bill to Biden’s desk, averting a government shutdown :
WASHINGTON — The Senate passed a stopgap funding bill Wednesday night, punting the GOP’s spending fight and the threat of a government shutdown until after the holidays.
The bipartisan vote was 87-11, with 10 Republicans and one Democrat — Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado — voting against the bill. ...
The short-term bill, known as a continuing resolution, or CR, cleared the House on Tuesday on
a lopsided 336-95 vote, with all but two of the no votes coming from
Republicans. The funding bill next heads to President Joe Biden’s desk
for his expected signature. ...
“No spending cuts, no right-wing extreme policy changes, no government shutdown, no votes tomorrow, Happy Thanksgiving,” he said. “That is a type of report that, when you are able to give it, means morale is very high.”

Dim bulb Jonathan Martin says Joe should heave Bidenomics into the dumpster just as broad inflation tanks from 3.7% yoy in September to 3.2% yoy in October
Perhaps the most overwhelming economic messaging advice I picked up from Democrats was for him to heave “Bidenomics” into the dumpster. Attempting to make voters believe something they don’t is folly. Attaching your name to that strategy borders on masochistic.
Here’s How Biden Can Turn It Around
Joe would be well on his way to re-election right now if he weren't shooting himself in the foot with his stupid green energy policies, which are keeping inflation from coming down harder than it already is.
That's what needs to go in the dumpster.
Joe Biden: David Axelrod is a prick
On that we agree.
Here.
But Jonathan Martin must be joking when he recommends Biden bring in Rahm Emanuel to run the 2024 re-election campaign and Bill and Hillary to lead a Mideast peace process.
I mean LOL:
It may sound far-fetched, but this is no time for small thinking. The moment demands all hands on deck.
