The Federal Reserve is playing the song “Don’t rock the boat” ahead of the Presidential election. Despite the horrible economic news. 1) 4 months of hotter inflation (like today’s stagflationary GDP report) 2) Nearly 1.5 million full-time jobs decline with 1.9 part-time jobs created over a year 3) $2 trillion annual deficits Leading traders to price in 1 rate cut in December 2024. AFTER THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION! Under Biden, home prices are up 32.5% and conforming 30Y mortgage rates are UP 160%. One of my colleagues at George Mason University in finance (an economics PhD) constantly quoted Lenin’s famous “You...

COVID was a gift to Biden. The furious Federal spending of Q2 2020 through Q1 2021 helped keep GDP growth above recession levels. Ignore Biden’s demented rants/lies about cutting the debt in half. Biden has claimed he cut the $34+ trillion national debt by $7 billion, $1.4 trillion, $1.7 billion, $1.7 trillion, and “in half,” depending on the day he rants. He did no such thing. He is confused and is talking about the BUDGET DEFICIT (don’t look to Snopes to fact check “Trucker Joe”, they really only fact check Trump). Not surprisingly, the Federal deficit spiked with the Covid...

April 24, 2024 A message from our Founder: TGP Communications, the parent company of The Gateway Pundit, recently made the decision to seek protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the Southern District of Florida as a result of the progressive liberal lawfare attacks against our media outlet. This is not an admission of fault or culpability. This is a common tool for reorganization and to consolidate litigation when attacks are coming from all sides. It allows TGP to consolidate this lawfare in one court for ultimate resolution. Despite the radical left’s efforts to silence The...

Joe Biden on Wednesday delivered remarks at North America’s Building Trade Union National Legislative Conference in Washington DC. The group endorsed Biden’s reelection. Biden delivered a disastrous speech on Wednesday. He read the teleprompter instructions as he tried to drum up enthusiasm: “Four more years? Pause?” At one point he suggested punching President Trump. “Think of the guys you grew up with you’d like to get into the corner and just give him a straight left,” Biden said of Trump as the crowd laughed. He quickly tried to walk back his call for violence against Trump with sarcasm: “I’m not...

Two months ago, a majority of Republicans opposed the $95 billion foreign aid bill when it came to the Senate floor for a vote. Ten of those senators flipped Tuesday. The measure passed by an overwhelming 79-18 margin, sending the bill to President Joe Biden for his signature. It wasn’t long ago that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., found himself among the minority of Republican senators who supported the foreign aid bill. In February, there were 22 GOP senators in favor and 26 opposed, while one Republican senator didn’t vote. It was a different story Tuesday. This time, 31...

Video at link. (Posted as Vanity so the citizen reporters here can use it as a story. Bidenomics!) Morning Joe @Morning_Joe .@profgalloway : "For the first time in our nation's history, a 30-year-old... isn't doing as well their parents were at 30. People are opting out of America... because, frankly, they're pissed off. They see exceptional wealth across my generation—and they're really struggling."

The Washington Post’s in-house cry-bully Taylor Lorenz apparently only seems to care about Big Tech when its policies affect leftists’ ability to spread their off-the-rails agitprop all over the social media landscape. Meta announced Feb. 9 that it would be limiting all political content recommended writ large to its user bases on Instagram and Threads. This apparently struck a nerve with Lorenz, who jumped on the news with a Feb. 10 piece of her own lambasting the move as “angering some news creators” who were “gearing up for a crucial election year.” Talk about projection. Lorenz is apparently still miffed,...

Four years ago, the media birthed one of the biggest fictions that it pushed during the COVID-19 pandemic: that Donald Trump told Americans to inject themselves with bleach. He did no such thing, but the desperate Biden campaign wants you to think so. Biden-Harris HQ @BidenHQ Four years ago today, Trump told Americans to inject bleach on national television The false claim originated from the White House Coronavirus Task Force Briefing on April 23, 2020. During the briefing, Trump and others discussed possible COVID-19 treatments, including UV light treatments. The portion of the quote featured in the video from Biden's...

Appearing on CNN’s ‘State of the Union’ with host Dana Bash, Gonzales discussed the recent passage of the multi-billion foreign aid package and the possibility that Speaker of the House Mike Johnson may be removed from office. Rather than taking a diplomatic tone in favor of party unity, the Texas Congressman unloaded on Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Bob Good (R-VI), making various spurious allegations about their political and private lives. Here is a transcript of the exchange: BASH: So, you voted yes on the foreign aid package. Do you have confidence that at this point, given that it is...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court agreed on Monday to take up a Biden administration appeal over the regulation of difficult-to-trace ghost guns that had been struck down by lower courts. The justices by a 5-4 vote had previously intervened to keep the regulation in effect during the legal fight. Ghost guns, which lack serial numbers, have been turning up at crime scenes with increasing regularity. The regulation, which took effect in 2022, changed the definition of a firearm under federal law to include unfinished parts, like the frame of a handgun or the receiver of a long gun, so...

Like many of you, I both attend and lead many a presentation. Some are sales-focused, some are just project updates; some are intended to be educational. One of the more disturbing things I’ve noticed throughout my career has been how political points creep into such presentations. Sometimes it’s formal – “this is the company-mandated slide on diversity hiring.” Sometimes it’s more subtle – “Here are some interesting statistics about our business: so many sites, so many employees, so many solar panels” – and so forth. I’ll share two recent ones. One of my vendors now includes a slide showing a...

Tucker Carlson went on with Joe Rogan on Friday in what promises to be a hugely popular episode of The Joe Rogan Experience. During their conversation they spoke about evil and Speaker Mike Johnson’s name was brought up. ..... Snip..... Weak people just become a host for evil, an open, empty building that evil occupies, possesses even. That’s exactly what’s happening to Mike Johnson. It’s absolutely crazy what Mike Johnson is doing. But it’s not because he’s evil, it’s because he’s weak and therefore susceptible to evil. It’s a meaningful distinction that I have noticed.

Gosar on Friday joined Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie in their effort to remove House Speaker Mike Johnson. The House of Representatives on Friday advanced a foreign aid bill that allocates billions of dollars to Ukraine and Israel. “Nearly 11 million illegal aliens have crossed our southern border in the past three years. My congressional district in Arizona, ground zero for the invasion, is getting pummeled by the surge of lawbreakers. These illegal aliens have brought violent crime, deadly drugs, human trafficking and are depleting resources and services meant for U.S. citizens. In fact, every state has become a...

the package Mike Johnson announced Wednesday includes terms that will allow the President to cancel 50% of Ukraine’s debt after November 15, 2024 and the remaining 50% after January 1, 2024. It’s no wonder why Joe Biden came out “strongly” in support of the package, urging the House and Senate to pass it. After President Trump wins the 2024 election, as expected, Joe Biden can cancel 50% of Ukraine’s debt before his term is over in January. If Biden and the Democrats pull off another stolen election, they can forgive 100% of Ukraine’s debt a little over one year later.
