NEW YORK (AP) — As some of the world’s biggest economies stumble into recession, the United States keeps chugging along. Both Japan and the United Kingdom said Thursday their economies likely weakened during the final three months of 2023. For each, it would be the second straight quarter that’s happened, which fits one lay definition for a recession. Yet in the United States, the economy motored ahead in last year’s fourth quarter for a sixth straight quarter of growth. It’s blown past many predictions coming into last year that a recession seemed inevitable because of high interest rates meant to...

President Joe Biden lashed out at Robert Hur last week over one particular line in the special counsel's report on his handling of classified documents: that Biden "did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died." “How in the hell dare he raise that?” Biden told reporters in an impromptu White House press conference. “Frankly, when I was asked the question, I thought to myself, it wasn’t any of their damn business.” But Hur never asked that question, according to two people familiar with Hur’s five-hour interview with the president over two days last October. It was...

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre adopted the 'everybody does it defense' as she was asked to explain President Biden's latest gaffe of mixing up world leaders during a speech. Jean-Pierre got pressed repeatedly on the latest flub, since this one involved name-dropping a long-deceased world leader for the second time within days while retelling a story dating to 2021. 'As it relates to the names and what he was trying to say, many people, elected officials – many people they can misspeak sometimes,' she said.

President Joe Biden blamed former President Donald Trump and “MAGA Republicans” for the broken border system and his administration’s expected failure to convince Congress to pass a $118 billion bill that would allot $20 billion for border security but $60 billion for Ukraine. “Now, all indications are this bill won’t even move forward to the Senate floor. Why? A simple reason: Donald Trump,” Biden said during a public address on Tuesday. He claimed that Trump thinks the bill is “bad for him politically,” and, therefore, it is being opposed by Republicans in the House and Senate.

Happy Insurrection Day, everyone! President Biden had planned to deliver his Valley Forge speech on the third anniversary of the January 6, 2021 riot at the Capitol, but bad weather forced him to deliver his speech a day early. And what a speech it was. "We nearly lost America," Biden said of January 6. Then he proudly announced that the "insurrectionists" had been sentenced collectively to 840 years in prison. At the end of all the bluster, Visiting Angel Dr. Jill Biden led her husband by the hand offstage so he wouldn't get lost again. Whenever we hear the word...

President Joe Biden’s strange and sometimes flat-out false comments to the press reportedly “baffle, rankle, and worry” his aides who are left on their own to “explain or contradict” them, Reuters detailed Tuesday. Biden, 81, often commits political blunders that have included – but are not limited to: Stated his favorite memory of 2023 was the alleged improvement of the U.S. economy Claimed he never met with Hunter Biden’s associates, despite photo evidence Said Russian President Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power” Maintained he only had six grandchildren, ignoring Hunter Biden’s out-of-wedlock child Declared twice that his son died in...

Former FBI agent Peter Strzok said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that he believed supporters of former President Donald Trump were “engaging in threats of violence,” while supporters of President Joe Biden were not prone to violence. Strzok said, “My biggest concern is that we have the presumptive Republican nominee for president who has and continues to engage in calls for violence from his supporters. Look, there’s an interesting data point here. Just shortly after the Michigan Supreme Court indicated they weren’t going to take this up, Donald Trump took to Truth Social and lauded their decision, talked about how they...

President Joe Biden suggested Thursday that Americans who are unhappy with the economy are experiencing a “disconnect.” Biden touted a variety of economic statistics during a speech at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit on Thursday, before acknowledging that the American people feel a “disconnect” between the “numbers, and how people feel about their place in the world right now.” As Biden and his administration continue to insist “Bidenomics” is a success, 61% of Americans are living paycheck-to-paycheck and 75% of U.S. adults think the economy is in a “fair” or “poor” state. “The last quarter the American economy grew...

One of the most ardent leftist economic writers in American media actually claimed that the far left “has no significant influence on the Democratic Party.” And no, he wasn’t being facetious. New York Times columnist Paul Krugman went after his typical target — Republicans — in an Oct. 16 screed whining that GOPers were blaming President Joe Biden for the Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel. “Like much of what the American right says these days, these smears were both vile and infantile.” The same “infantile” Krugman once called the GOP “economic terrorists,” but who’s keeping score? Krugman’s oblivious take then...

"No matter how deeply involved you are in the U.S. … there’s only one guarantee ... and that's the state of Israel" In the April issue of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg reports on a remarkable incident last fall at the residence of Vice President Joseph Biden. Speaking before guests—including leaders of Jewish organizations and Jewish officials in the Obama administration—invited to celebrate Rosh Hashanah, Biden recalled meeting Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir when he was a young man in the Senate: “I’ll never forget talking to her in her office with her assistant—a guy named Rabin—about the Six-Day War,” he...

Biden Lies Again, Claims He Was Golda Meir’s Liaison During the Six-Day WarMendacious? In the grip of dementia? Or both?Old Joe Biden is a serial liar as well as an elderly man in the grip of dementia, and it was initially hard to tell which one was kicking in on Thursday when he claimed that he served as Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir’s liaison to Egypt during the Six-Day War in 1967. Golda Meir wasn’t prime minister of Israel during the Six-Day War, and Biden was an unknown law student at the time, but Biden did meet with her in...

Attorney General Merrick Garland said in an interview that aired Sunday that he would resign if asked by President Joe Biden to take action against Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump. But he doesn’t think he’ll be put in that position. “I am sure that that will not happen, but I would not do anything in that regard,” he said on CBS “60 Minutes.” “And if necessary, I would resign. But there is no sense that anything like that will happen.” The Justice Department is at the center of not only indictments against Trump that include an effort to overturn the...

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a GOP candidate for president in 2024, on Sunday went after former President Trump for not showing up to the GOP debates, suggesting Trump was “adopting Joe Biden’s basement strategy.” “With all due respect to Donald Trump, we’re not going to beat the Democrats by adopting Joe Biden’s basement strategy,” DeSantis said in an interview on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures.”

President Joe Biden made a bizarre claim in a speech Friday that he'd taught political theory at an Ivy League university - despite only serving there as a visiting fellow and honorary professor. Biden, at 80, the nation's oldest-ever president, was speaking at Prince George Community College in Maryland Thursday for an economic address he meant to contrast what he calls 'Bidenomics' with the police of predecessor Donald Trump. At one point, however, the president turned his speech to a common theme, that Democracy is 'under attack' when he suddenly discussed his time at the University of Pennsylvania. 'We got...

President Biden has gained notoriety for sharing imaginative stories, including a recent false claim about being at Ground Zero the day after the 9/11 attacks. CNN senior reporter and political fact-checker Daniel Dale pointed out that the President has a recurring pattern of either "inventing" or exaggerating stories from his own life.

On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Katy Tur Reports,” White House Council of Economic Advisers Chair Jared Bernstein responded to a majority of Americans saying they’re living paycheck-to-paycheck and those who aren’t feeling the economy improving by acknowledging that “it’s early days for those wage gains,” and so he’s “very sympathetic to the idea that people need to see them continue, and I think if the job market stays tight, they will.” Guest host Alex Witt asked, “[A]s you know, a majority of Americans still say they are living paycheck-to-paycheck. So, what is the message to those people who don’t really...
