When Justin Trudeau shut down Canada's spectacular 3,000-strong convoy of "freedom" truckers opposed to Canada's COVID vaccine mandates, most were appalled at the tyrannical steps taken to stop it. After all, the country was Canada, not Cuba. Son-of-Castro invoked Canada's "Emergencies Act," on "Freedom Convoy 2022," on February 14, freezing trucker bank accounts, imprisoning their leaders, shutting down a GoFundMe account for truckers, banning travel to the protests, which had attracted 15,000 people, hauling off and termininating parental rights of truckers to their own children, and expropriating their trucks. All that, over a peaceful trucker protest over a vaccine mandate.We...

During the White House press briefing, the National Economic Council director argued that the U.S. is not on the brink of a recession and that the state of the economy, which hit a whopping 9.1% inflation rate in June, could be a lot worse than it is currently. "I think that our economy is more resilient to the types of challenges that we face," Deese said. "For example, with respect to food, we're a net exporter of agricultural commodities. And obviously, the high prices are hitting Americans very hard, but in a way that is different from some places that...

When Brian Deese, Director of the National Economic Council, famously referred to the “Liberal World Order” last week, conservative pundits and news outlets rightly jumped on the globalist reference. But what was missed by most is that Deese isn’t just a Democrat true-believer in building back better and surrendering our sovereignty. He’s a plant who ran BlackRock’s notorious ESG program between his stints in the Obama and Biden regimes. -snip- On the latest episode of The JD Rucker Show, I dove into Deese’s colorful history and discussed how BlackRock is doing more than just pushing for woke policies. They may...

Biden economic advisor Brian Deese said that Americans should 'stand firm' on paying record-high gas prices because the 'future of the liberal world order' is more important. 'What do you say to those families that say, 'listen, we can't afford to pay $4.85 a gallon for months, if not years?' the director of the National Economic Council was asked on CNN Thursday. What you heard from the president today was a clear articulation of the stakes. This is about the future of the Liberal World Order and we have to stand firm,' he replied. Deese added: 'At the same time,...

In an interview on Thursday, Brian Deese, Joe Biden’s Director of National Economic Council (NEC), defended the administration’s ruinous energy policies, saying they are about “the future of the liberal world order.” Biden on Thursday said during a press conference at the NATO summit in Spain that Americans will have to put up with high gas prices for “as long as it takes” to defeat Russian President Vladimir Putin. CNN reporter Victor Blackwell noted that military analysts and the Director of National Intelligence have predicted that the war in Ukraine could last for years. “I think everybody understands why this...

National Economic Council Director Brian Deese on Sunday downplayed some economists’ fears of an impending recession, arguing the economy can persevere through ongoing interest rate hikes that aim to curb rising prices. Speaking with Margaret Brennan on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Deese instead described the economy as in a state of “transition” after President Biden said on Thursday a recession was “not inevitable.”

White House National Economic Council director Brian Deese on Wednesday addressed the notion of increasing the use of domestic energy to stem the rising gas prices. Deese argued on CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street” that “no amount of domestic production we can do to reduce” global prices. He suggested the only way to fix prices would be “shifting to cleaner sources of energy.”

Two young men who have spurred a nationwide manhunt in Canada after the killings of an American woman, her Australian boyfriend, and a third unidentified man are known as lifelong friends, according to the father of one of the now-suspects. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police made the shocking announcement during a news conference Tuesday that Kam McLeod, 19, and Bryer Schmegelsky, 18, from Port Alberni, British Columbia, are the main suspects in the slayings of 23-year-old Australian Lucas Fowler, and his American girlfriend Chynna Deese, 24, who were discovered shot to death on July 15 along the side of the...

Two Canadian teens who are suspected of at least three murders – including an American woman and her Australian boyfriend – may have escaped from the Manitoba town where they were last seen "with someone who is not police friendly," a source close to the investigation told Fox News on Saturday. The source added that Kam McLeod and Bryer Schmegelsky may have altered their appearances and offered cash to a driver to leave the area of Gillam, a town of approximately 1,200 people in the north of the province. “Truly you wouldn’t want to stick yourself in a small town...

YORK LANDING, Mb. (NEWS 1130) – As we enter the second week of the search for two suspected killers from B.C., helicopters, police dogs, officers and even the military are combing remote areas of Manitoba for the pair after a key tip came in from a community group.

It is not every 31-year-old who, in a first government job, finds himself dismantling General Motors and rewriting the rules of American capitalism. But that, in short, is the job description for Brian Deese, a not-quite graduate of Yale Law School who had never set foot in an automotive assembly plant until he took on his nearly unseen role in remaking the American automotive industry. Nor, for that matter, had he given much thought to what ailed an industry that had been in decline ever since he was born. A bit laconic and looking every bit the just-out-of-graduate-school student adjusting...

WASHINGTON — It is not every 31-year-old who, in a first government job, finds himself dismantling General Motors and rewriting the rules of American capitalism. Brian Deese, who interrupted his law school career, is the little-seen force behind the revamping of the American auto industry. But that, in short, is the job description for Brian Deese, a not-quite graduate of Yale Law School who had never set foot in an automotive assembly plant until he took on his nearly unseen role in remaking the American automotive industry.

Today's New York Times features a story about 31 year old Brian Deese. It's called "The 31 Year Old In Charge of Dismantling GM". Deese is not an employee of General Motors. In fact, less than a year ago, he was still in law school at Yale. Now, he's the point man on the bankruptcy of General Motors. How did this happen? Deese, with no experience in the auto industry, became one of the first people chosen to head the President's auto task force.
