THE STOCK MARKET AND INVESTORS HATE UNCERTAINTY—but that’s all there is for the middle of 2024! What will come in the Biden vs. Trump presidency election? Who knows? The Fed is unsure whether to lower interest rates, to fuel economic growth and risk more inflation, or leave them alone (and be afraid to raise them!) Will “trumped up” legal attacks on Donald Trump by Democrat Prosecutors cripple him? Or will Biden’s continuing cognitive decline, family corruption and track record of failures cause Dems to force him out? Can the Democrat doctors no longer find drug cocktails to stimulate the feisty Biden from the SOTU SPEECH? Then what? President Kamala Harris? OMG!
HOW TO CHOOSE — WHEN THE CHOICE IS HARD
Peggy Noonan’s WSJ column called it a choice between “old crazy” (Trump) vs. “old cranky” (Biden) if that’s the 2024 choice. I’ll repeat the answer I give when asked how to choose:
Do it based on evidence and a few simple answers based on their past track records—who is more likely to:
1–restore the rule of law & order in America, (refund & support the police)
2–restore America’s border & immigration control (stop the invasion)
3–fund & defend America against its enemies (foreign & domestic)
Hopefully, both parties will agree to follow the current law—the states choosing their abortion policies—allowing residents vote on those choices.
That’s what the Constitution and the most recent Supreme Court ruling made the “law of the land”—state by state. But when Biden is determined to ignore the Supreme Court ruling on student loan forgiveness—who knows what other laws he will ignore?
CONSIDER THE ARRAY OF BIDEN’s OTHER MADDENING “MANDATES” and their uncertain consequences. Biden’s mandates are costing US COMPANIES BILLIONS & DESTROYING American jobs.
THE EV GLUT
ELECTRIC cars (EVs) are sleek, expensive and sitting on producers’ lots, unsold, as consumers realize they may be new, neat and interesting, but they have some not-so-nice drawbacks and differences. AND, The market is going through a shakeout as innovative upstarts run out of cash and struggle to survive as they can’t fulfill lofty feature promises.
TESLA is suffering too, but it has proven to be the best in planning, design, production & charging systems, which matter more than all the nifty styling and lofty promises about range, features and delivery.
CHINESE MADE EV’s will flood the US market harder than anything since the Japanese car invasion of several decades ago, unless new tariffs stop the dumping!.
JAPAN TOOK BIG CHUNKS OF US CAR SALES costing millions of US jobs, by making fewer models/variations & colors/interiors, offering the most popular features as standard equipment—with superior build-quality. Viola’ —Japanese cars became best sellers and grew to take big market shares.
Korean cars (Hyundai & Kia) also grabbed a big share of the US car market, copying Japan’s quality of design & build, but with more stylish offerings and higher specs, at value prices. Now Honda & Toyota are showing their strategic wisdom, by offering excellent “transition” cars — the gas-electric hybrids.
American Car-makers reacted to Biden’s poorly thought out mandates with cars that look nice, but have fewer compelling competitive advantages. So the American makers spent $-billions to comply, only to fill lots with stylish, but slow-selling American EVs.
TOP TEN BIDEN FAILURES
After 3+ years, “Clueless” Joe Biden has more “faux pas” to add to his growing list of failures, many of which he tried to blame on Trump—but that was neither true nor credible!
1) the awful Afghanistan pull-out, terribly rushed & mishandled
2) the chaotic, uncontrolled border/illegal immigrant invasion,
3) crippling the US auto & labor industry by a forced rush into EVs
4) the failure of Bidenomics — when trips to the grocery store or gas station or to finance a new home or car, cause huge shocks in cost of basic needs—transportation, housing, food & gas.
5) the “California craziness,” now expands to mandating huge minimum wage increases (crippling small businesses) on fast food (except Panera Bread?).
6) EV and fuel economy mandates and similar misguided-mandates add even more problems to an overloaded US electric power grid (to start with, to serve California crazies “electrification of everything” —led by the smiling liar Gavin Newsom.
7) Biden is creating foreign policy debacles by meddling in foreign conflicts, while arguing with and ignoring allies (Israel), fueling riots of Palestinian/ Hamas supporters in American streets, and much more (remember the “defund the police” riots, migrant encampments and flash mobs looting America’s downtowns, repeat criminals from the catch & release DAs, fiascoes, etc.)
8) Biden is cozying up to Xi & China (after son Hunter funneled money from the Chinese Communists to the “Biden family fund!”) while defense spending remains inadequate and misdirected.
9) Biden wants to force fossil-fueled power-plants to close, when the US electric grid can’t handle a 10-15% projected increase in demand near term! (Where does the electricity come from to charge all those EVs? Existing fossil-fueled power plants, and in China, where EV growth is increasing rapidly—you got it—from more fossil-fueled power plants!)
10) After Biden's angry rambling State of the Union speech, in which he promised to “fix everything, ”— with no regard for the cost to American Taxpayers, or how that would be managed (Note the Democrat failure in almost all large cities and states where they control the governments.)
Barack Obama was right about Biden during his campaign a “hot mic“ captured him saying—“everything Joe touches, he screws up!”
Biden also learned many of Obama’s bad habits, but without the glib, clever oratory to explain away the problems—(most often, “blame Trump”!!). Biden fails to lead, and speaks only from TelePrompters, scripted material or ad libs with stumbling gaffes.
Biden staffed his cabinet with politically-correct-incompetents, so blaming others for problems is easier (Biden even tried to blame Trump for the Border Chaos, after Biden threw out all the Trump border controls, which were working! (a typical revisionist play) Finally he employed an old Obama trick, throwing tax-payers money at so many problems that none ever get fixed—(e.g., Can you find the network of EV charging stations that Biden promised to use $ billions to build? Of course you don’t! Very few were ever built!)
Finally, Biden resorted to paying for fixing his failures by “Taxing the rich”, which makes good sound bites in campaign rhetoric—but if the government took ALL of the wealth of the top 1% of “rich Americans”—it wouldn’t cover what Biden wants to spend just in the next year!
Is everything Biden’s fault? No, but it’s hard to find the things he did that turned out well—6except for big monetary handouts! Even the Recovery from the Covid induced recession was certain to come, businesses reopened and vaccines accelerated by Trump’s Operation Warp Spreed, helped reduce new outbreaks — in spite of Dr. Fauci’s constantly changing directions & guidelines!
THE BIDENOMICS RECOVERY IS A NEGATIVE RECOVERY—AN AMERICA IN DECLINE!
—The American people are 18-20% worse off financially than when Biden took office!
—Inflation ate all the wage increases …and then some… as companies scrambled to cut costs and stay in business.
—Americans have moved en masse away from failing states like CA, NY, IL and many more, escaping to FL, TX, TN, OH, and other CENTRAL & SW states.
BIDEN’S BIGGEST, WORST AND MOST DANGEROUS MISTAKE WAS OPENING THE US BORDERS TO THE “ILLEGAL-IMMIGRANT INVASION” OF MISCREANTS COMING FROM THE WORLD’S MOST TROUBLED, LAWLESS PLACES!
Unvetted illegal immigrants continue to flood across America’s open borders, from all the trouble spots in the world. It’s likely that before this “illegal immigrant invasion” slows or is stopped, illegals will make up almost 5%+ of the US population—and be given government funded free housing, food, health care and more—paid for by hard working American taxpayers!
These immigrants are no longer primarily families seeking a better life. They are the lawless, rebellious, miscreants for everywhere in the world—especially America’s enemies! Crime is certain to rise, as depleted police forces have been defunded! Migrant encampments blight the unmanageable sanctuary states and cities!
The pro-Biden American Voters’ worst mistake will be if they accept his continued failures, uncontrolled spending, his own personal decline and yet still vote for him and his shallow, & incompetent VP Kamala.
Yes, Trump’s personal life has admittedly been a messy melange’ of actual and alleged misbehavior and massive attacks based on questionable legal fabrications, tried in unfriendly jurisdictions, all controlled by Democrats in power. One thing is certain to anyone looking without political biases—Trump’s full term as President was far more successful in helping the American economy and people to build on the country’s strength.
DON’T LET THE DEM’S LIES FOOL YOU:
The Dems are socialists, wrapped in a “progressive-labeled blanket" of lies and misrepresentations. Socialism has failed over and over around the world, because throwing “other people’s money” at self-induced problems, has never worked, and the other people’s money runs out, with few of the false promises fulfilled.
Simply look at the record of failure in large American Cities and States—NY, CA, IL to name just three of the worst run states, with their biggest cities—New York City, Los Angeles & San Francisco, and Chicago. Adding dozens of large cities like Baltimore, Minneapolis, Seattle, Portland, etc.
