The guy is like George Costanza from the episode of Seinfeld. "If every instinct you have is wrong, then the opposite would have to be right. "

Except there is no "Jerry" to point that out for Joe to go and do the opposite.

Too bad about Chile. Elected a young socialist. Rewriting their constitution. Already talking about nationalization of lithium. Threatening to attack Brazil to support a leftist government even though they don’t share a border….

Time to cross them off the foreign investment list.

He sounds just like Joey B.!
Maybe if Biden can break him out of jail, he can bring him to the White House for a nice chat.

BREAKING NEWS:

Peru President Removed, Arrested for 'Rebellion'

Thursday, 08 December 2022 01:00 AM EST

In just three tumultuous hours, President Pedro Castillo went from decreeing the dissolution of Peru's Congress to being replaced by his vice president, but the threats against his government had been building throughout his nearly 17-month presidency.

The former school teacher and center-left political novice, who won a runoff election in June 2021 by just 44,000 votes, stepped onto a no-holds-barred political battlefield in Peru, the South American country now on its sixth president in six years. By nightfall Wednesday, after a day of high political drama, prosecutors had announced Castillo was under arrest, facing charges of rebellion.

Yep. Plus, as much as I dislike it, got to give the Dems scoreboard on knowing how to play the game.

One day after Herschel Trump gets beat, they dunk on The Donald with this PR move.

Which of course will make the skinny, shirtless, wild-eyed Trump supporters in the trailer parks want to push harder for Trump.

Which is exactly what the Dems are hoping for.

Only a year and a half for the GOP to pull their collective head out of their ashe.

Confidence is not High.

Fox News Reporter Makes Stinging Observation About Biden's 'Response' to Border Patrol Death

By George Upper December 8, 2022 at 3:44pm

Bill Melugin is no stranger to border issues. He’s been covering the U.S.-Mexico border, federal border policy and border-related D.C. politics in-depth for Fox News, and he knows the people and the principles involved.

So when the Los Angeles-based national correspondent says he has an “observation” to make about recent events on and around America’s southern border, smart people pay attention.

Which, of course, is what he did in a tweet yesterday evening about President Joe Biden’s inattention to the border and the men and women who protect it.

“An observation on sinking Border Patrol morale,” he wrote on Twitter. “One day after President says the border isn’t important enough to visit, a BP agent dies in line of duty. I have not seen any reaction from the White House re: his death.”

Yeah, that would probably do it. But Melugin wasn’t done.

Look what door Biden opened up...

Xi Inks Tens Of Billions In Deals With Saudis, From Huawei Cloud-Computing To Expanded Military Ties

On the first full day of his visit wherein he was lavishly greeted and given full red-carpet treatment after arrival in the kingdom (clearly more so that Biden's summer trip to Jeddah), Chinese President Xi Jinping met with King Salman and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Thursday, and wide-ranging economic and tech trade agreements were signed to the tune of tens of billions of dollars, along with pledges to expand military cooperation.

Among the commercial deals made, one name that featured prominently is sure to raise eyebrows in Washington, given the blanket ban and years-long controversy in the states: Huawei. Among the over $29 billion in agreements signed, The Wall Street Journal reports the Saudis are "setting up a Huawei cloud-computing region, building an electric-vehicle manufacturing plant in Saudi Arabia and supplying green hydrogen batteries for a futuristic smart city the prince wants to build."

Little in the way of official statements fully detailing the process of the discussions and joint agreements have been issued as talks with Xi and his top aides have occurred entirely behind closed palace doors.

The WSJ continues, "Missing from the leaders’ public statements was any mention of the more controversial aspects of a relationship that have raised the hackles of U.S. officials—such as advanced military sales, expansion of 5G and 6G telecommunications networks and pricing some Saudi oil sales in yuan, which accelerated this year."

Among other areas of cooperation include urban development, housing construction, high tech complexes, as well as health, environmental, and energy-saving building projects, all related to the Saudi Vision 2030 and Beijing’s Belt and Road initiative.

Concerning the latter area, the WSJ details that "One of the agreements involves a top Saudi renewable energy company, Acwa Power, and the Industrial & Commercial Bank of China Ltd.—China’s largest commercial bank, which is a direct participant in CIPS, the Chinese version of SWIFT—hinting at deepening financial cooperation between the countries."

https://tinyurl.com/yc2624hz

It goes without saying that the China-Saudi summit is being held against the backdrop of strained Saudi relations with Washington, also as Saudi officials likely increasingly see America as a superpower in decline. This theme has also been on display with apparent cozier coordination with Russia's Vladimir Putin, despite the Ukraine war, which has seen MbS firmly rebuff Biden's pleas to produce more oil.

Meanwhile, there's been a lot of media commentary in the West over just how "lavish" Xi's reception in the kingdom has been, and for good reason. The below greeting included much more than a fist bump...

While he naps...China snaps up another ally. No big deal...right Lefty?

Hey he's got China so confused...take my money.

"Sen. Marco Rubio (R., Fla.) told the Washington Free Beacon that the Biden administration "has a lot of explaining to do."

"Giving hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to a company whose operations are based in China that refuses to comply with American securities rules is crazy," said Rubio. "What's more, any new technology developed in this partnership is almost certainly going to benefit China given Microvast's operations there. It is just another example of the Biden administration not understanding the threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party.""

Biden announces $36 billion bailout for union pension plan

Biden calls himself most pro-labor president in history

President Joe Biden announced Thursday he will pump $36 billion into a union pension plan to prevent drastic benefit cuts for pensioners, just a week after he signed a railroad labor deal opposed by several union organizations.

The announcement marks the largest federal award for retiree pensions in history and is funded by Biden’s $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, according to the White House. The $36 billion will go to the Central States Pension Fund, which is for mostly Teamster union members.

The $36 billion amounts to about half of the available federal funds for pension relief under the American Rescue Plan. The pension fund, which covers 350,000 members, was at risk of cuts as high as 60%, but the White House said the fund will now be stable until at least 2051.

"Thanks to today’s announcement, tens of thousands of union retirees and workers in states like Ohio, Michigan, Texas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Missouri can go to bed tonight knowing their pension they worked so damn hard for is going to be there when they need it," Biden said. He spoke at the White House with Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh, Teamsters President Sean O’Brien and AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler.

Biden's announcement came a week after he negotiated a labor agreement with railroad companies that did not include paid sick leave. Four unions insisted that more paid sick days must be added to the deal, including the Teamsters’ maintenance union, but Congress passed the plan without extra sick time in order to avoid a strike.

Giancarlo Sopo, a Republican strategist, said Biden’s decision is a makeup call to his union allies that he disappointed last week.

"Joe Biden is using taxpayer coffers as his political piggyback to ameliorate his tensions with the Teamsters after failing to fight for the paid sick leave that workers wanted and, quite frankly, deserved," Sopo told Fox News Digital.

The White House said the timing of the announcement was related to a Dec. 10 deadline for awarding pension relief.

"We are highlighting it because it is the largest award of the Special Financial Assistance program," a White House official told Fox News Digital.

Mark Mix, president of the National Right to Work Committee, said a bailout to failed pension plans is pointless without reform to ensure the program can last on its own.

"Once again, Biden is paying back his Big Labor allies to the detriment of taxpayers and the 90 percent of American workers who have chosen not to affiliate with a union," Mix told Fox News Digital. "Long before COVID, union officials have been mismanaging plans like the Teamsters Central States fund, which makes it especially offensive that the pandemic has been used as an excuse for this bailout."

Biden has declared himself the most pro-union president in history. He filled several positions at the National Labor Relations Board, the nation’s top labor arbiter, with influential union leaders such as Jennifer Abruzzo, a former attorney for the Communications Workers of America. He has pushed Congress to pass the PRO Act, which would end right-to-work laws in more than a dozen states that ban union membership as a term of employment.

Labor unions donated $27.5 million to Biden’s campaign in 2020.

Clark Ballew, the director of communications for the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees Division of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, which opposed Biden’s railroad agreement, said the pension funds are a relief to workers after they failed to win additional sick days.

"We cannot claim that the president’s decision this morning was directly influenced by our push in Congress last week, those fellow Teamsters worked incredibly hard for years to obtain this victory," Ballew told Fox News Digital. "But if the public browbeating we put on the miserly railroads last week in Congress helped with the Teamster pension gain this morning, then that is good. That is a win in our book."

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-36-billion-bailout-union-pension-plan

Unions represent 10.3% of workers in the US. Supposedly they already had pension funds for them. There's little wonder why union membership is sinking fast. Nobody trusts them any more.

Couple that with this...

The Republican's can't dump Trump without guaranteeing Democrat victory. He's gonna run either as a Republican or an Independent, if he gets primaried out of the nomination. His ego won't let him do otherwise. ( 2 time Trump voter)
