Biden’s big con – here’s what president, Democrats afraid to tell you about COVID, the economy
By: Liz Peek
Biden is a complete and illegitimate conman. He’s trying to use the virus to keep control over people’s freedom and economic opportunity. He’s using shutdowns to hide the strength of the economy in order to justify unneeded government spending for pet boondoggles. Then raid tax money from functional red states to bail out mismanaged over spending, wrongly shutdown blue states.

Joe Biden is conning the American people. He is lying about COVID and he is lying about the economy. We are not in the midst of a dark long winter. We are on the cusp of a bounteous blooming spring.
President Biden doesn’t want you to know the good news. Why? Because then you will refuse to write him and his Democrat colleagues a bit fat $1.9 trillion blank check.
And, because if the virus disappears in the next few months, even the most gullible CNN-watching Biden groupie will know that Donald J. Trump conquered COVID, not Joe Biden.
Some radicals might even conclude that President Trump’s Operation Warp Speed has delivered a miracle.
Consider the facts. COVID cases have dropped by more than 70% in recent weeks, more than the “experts” predicted. Fatalities, which lag cases, are also plummeting. Vaccine delivery is ramping up, and already some 15% of Americans have received a shot.
Johns Hopkins’ Dr. Mark Makary, writing recently in the Wall Street Journal, concludes that the welcome collapse in virus cases, which began in January, cannot be attributed solely to the end of holiday festivities or the start-up of vaccines. He says it also suggests that the medical community is vastly underestimating the number of people in the country who have contracted the virus, are asymptomatic, and who have developed immunities.
Makary thinks, assessing the data, that “The country is racing toward an extremely low level of infection.”
He concludes that the U.S. is nearing “herd immunity” and that “COVID will be mostly gone by April, allowing Americans to resume normal life.”
Imagine. Imagine being able to go to the movies, send your kid to school or travel to see your relatives, without fear. Imagine being able to leave your mask at home.
Joe Biden doesn’t want you indulging in such happy daydreams. Instead, he wants you to be afraid, and to stay home.
Asked at a recent CNN town hall when the country might get back to normal, Biden meandered, first saying that maybe by Christmas we would see progress, but then suggesting that “a year from now, I think that there will be significantly fewer people having to be socially distanced, have to wear a mask, instead of – but we don’t know.”
Biden continued: “it is highly unlikely that by the beginning of next year, school – traditional school year in September, we are not significantly better off than we are today.”
So, Biden thinks we’ll get back to normal by Christmas, or by February 2022, or maybe by September. But, he doesn’t really know.
Makary isn’t alone in reading good news in the virus statistics. Youyang Gu, a data scientist whose model has proved the most accurate forecaster of COVID deaths, predicts we will reach herd immunity (or “normality,” as his team now calls it) by June/July. Not as soon as April, but soon.
None of these forecasters suggests we should drop all precautions. Indeed, progress may require continued mask-wearing and social-distancing for the next few months. But by early summer, we can resume our pre-COVID lives.
Given this prospect, the priorities are clear: we need to reopen our country. That is the stimulus the U.S. needs, not a $1.9 trillion spend-a-thon that tosses $135 million to the National Endowment for the Arts, $750 million to address global health issues, $10 million for “Native American language preservation” and a host of other unrelated Democrat goodies.
Importantly, not a bill that includes $350 billion to bail out mismanaged blue cities and states or one that hikes the minimum wage to $15 per hour, threatening struggling small businesses.
With more than $1 trillion still unspent from prior bills, the Democrats’ proposal is irresponsible. It carries the near-term risk of inflation and the longer-term problem of undermining the dollar.
We need to pause, and let the current economic momentum carry us forward. People are itching to get back to their pre-COVID lives, and have the means to make it happen.
Even now, the rebound is encouraging. Retail sales, housing permits, industrial production – all topping expectations.
Economists who had lowered forecasts for near-term growth after some tepid job reports have become more optimistic; the Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow series projects first-quarter growth at 9.5%.
We are making all this progress even with significant industries, like airlines and entertainment, and some big states still locked down. California and New York, which together account for nearly one-quarter of the nation’s economy, are still largely under wraps.
Indifferent to the risks and ignoring reality, Democrats are pushing ahead with their budget-busting “American Rescue Plan,” hoping that Americans won’t notice the good news about our economy and about COVID. They haven’t even bothered to argue the bill’s economic merits, but instead claim that polling shows the measure to be popular.
Thus they inadvertently reveal their real rationale – that the taxpayer largesse will allow them to keep control of Congress in 2022.
There are people suffering in our country, and we need to help those folks. We must protect people who have lost their jobs because of COVID, and businesses teetering on the brink of failure. That’s what the GOP counteroffer of $600 billion would have done, the sensible alternative that Joe Biden ignored, even as he pretends to want bipartisan support.
Joe Biden’s White House may be the first in history to cover up not bad news but good news. Either way, it’s a con.

The Big Con is the pretense that Trump wasn't the worst, most evil and most destructive President in American history.
The Big Con is the pretense that Trump wasn't the worst, most evil and most destructive President in American history.
Except he wasn't. And half the country's citizens disagree with you.
All the worthless Biden has done is write a bunch of destructive and job killing EO's
Except, he was.
They also believe the election was stolen, Democrats eat babies, Jewish space lasers caused the California wildfires and Covid-19 is a fraud. I view their opinion of Trump, and of President Biden, as having the same validity as their other opinions. None.
We now live in a country where it is "accepted" that if half the people believe the moon is made of green cheese that means the moon is actually made of green cheese.
Its not getting any better either.
We intend to bring Trump back as our President to revive our freedom, liberty, rights, and economy. We are going to MAGA again and put America First again.
Odd. We view the secular progressive left and their opinions as having exactly the same validity they view ours. None.
More delusional BS.
The Big Con is the pretense that Obama wasn't the worst, most evil and most destructive President in American history. Not only was he a lousy President, he’s the worst person that has ever become President in our entire history. Biden is giving Obama a run for both titles he holds. Worst President and worst human being ever to become President
You've been hitting the jug again haven't you?

Trump also said in his Fox Business interview Wednesday that he still thinks coronavirus will “disappear” someday. When asked if he actually believes the virus will still disappear, Trump said, “I do. I do. Yeah sure. At some point. And I think we’re going to have a vaccine very soon too.”

American history will forever remember 2020 as the year of the Trump Virus, and the Trump Coup attempt.
His legacy will always be one sodded with death, hatred, and ignorance.
Trumps legacy is the creation of a multiracial working and middle class coalition of populist conservative/libertarian America first nationalists who are also believers who want to again MAGA in 2024!
Trump's legacy includes over 500,000 dead Americans, an economy in distress, a violent insurrection and an endless stream of lies he spewed like he had diarrhea of the mouth, just to begin with. Trump's legacy is a shit stain on America's greatness.
Orange conman was the WORST president in the history of the USA.
Most would say that James Buchanan was the worst of all time but Obama was right there with him. Trump is one of our better Presidents and will be again.
Orange conman was the absolute WORST in the history of this country as no one else even comes close to how fucking bad he was as president. He couldn't even win a second term and he is NOT going to win in 2024, just another pipe dream like the jefferson crap you spew. The voters spoke LOUD and Clear.
Your obsession with all things Trump is noted. Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) fever is strong among the American progressive left.
Trump is a deranged human being and Trump worship by his cultists is pathetic.
You just can't face the fact the orange conman is a Loser and was the Worst president ever. You have TDS trump Delusion Syndrome = blinders on to what the reality of what he truly is.... a bully, a thug, a disgusting human being, he had no business ever being president. He made a mockery of the office of the president.
Better to be a left progressive than a trump cultist.
He lost and he will NEVER again be president.
Lol says the guy with some gay ass trump coins?
It's sad that we even have to have this ridiculous conversation about Trump's place as a president. He is lower than low, not only is that true, it is obvious. What kind of country do we have when a third of the people , or more, refuse to recognize the obvious?
It's you MAGA that is obsessed since you're the one that posts article after article about him and how bad the Dems are.
You should stop the bs and look in a mirror sometime, a little self-awareness would be helpful in stopping the cult obsession you have with Trump.

I’m going to post positive things about Trump and negative things about Biden for the next four years so you might as well get used to it. I’m part of the resistance now.
It's sad that we even have to have this ridiculous conversation about weekend at Biden’s place as a president. He is lower than low, not only is that true, it is obvious. What kind of country do we have when a third of the people , or more, refuse to recognize the obvious?
The stupidity of your comments tells everyone that sees them how totally uninformed you are.
Rather than being part of the resistance, I'd say it's much more like being part of the clown show.
