Regretful Biden Really Wishes Obama Had Given Tax Cuts, Basically Concedes Trump’s Right

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Vice President Joe Biden says he wanted to cut taxes for the middle class during the final years in the White House in order to give Americans tangible proof of the Obama administration’s accomplishments.

“We had the big debate about what our focus should be on the economy in the last two years,” Biden said in an interview on Pod Save America, a podcast hosted by four Obama administration alumni. “The president let me come in with my team to make a presentation that we should have a middle class tax cut. The economists came in and said, ‘well, that’s not going to stimulate the economy.’”

Biden said that he and his advisers debated with other economists for two days in the Roosevelt Room of the White House, but in the end the administration declined to push for tax cuts. “What I was trying to do was actually demonstrate tangibly that we’re listening,” Biden said.

The conversation was sparked by what former President Barack Obama should have done in the last years of his administration to prove that his economic policies were working for the American people.

“I wish we could have done again going back as I wish we had let people know simultaneously ‘this is what we’re doing. By the way the reason why you are bum-bum-bum this is why. The reason why this job came back is because of — this is what we did the reason,’” Biden said.

This Is the Comment Joe Biden ‘Regrets’ Saying About Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Daily Wire. Former Vice President Joe Biden says he regrets suggesting that he could have beaten up a teenaged Donald Trump had the pair attended high school together.

Speaking to the podcast, Pod Save America, Biden said that he’s concerned with the coarsening of political discourse, and is sorry that he contributed to the decline.

“I shouldn’t have said what I said because I don’t want to get down in the mosh pit with this guy,” Biden said.

Last week, Biden told an audience in Florida that “If we were in high school, I’d take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him.” Biden was talking about how he might have handled a hypothetical teen-aged Donald Trump’s “locker room talk,” which Biden said was offensive to women.

Biden Supporters Are Thrilled Over His Fight With Trump

By The Hill. . .It’s only heightened speculation that Biden, 75, is serious about challenging Trump.

The former vice president sat out the 2016 presidential race, and has heard supporters say he would have defeated Trump if he’d been in the running. Trump triumphed over Democrat Hillary Clinton by winning the states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin — states Biden sees as practically his political base . . .

In each case, a Trump insult or taunt was turned into a fundraiser pitch to Democrats eager to resist the president.

“The fundraising email practically writes itself,” the Biden World source said.

Even Republicans saw the comments as a positive for Biden. (Read more from “Biden Supporters Are Thrilled Over His Fight With Trump” HERE)

As Biden Sat in Tent on Vets Day, Pence Grabbed Supplies and Cleaned Memorial Pences Pitch in

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vice President Mike Pence and his wife, Karen, joined volunteer groups on Veterans Day and helped wash the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington.

The Pences joined Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke and a number of volunteers on Saturday cleaning the face of the 247-foot wall, which is engraved with the names of fallen soldiers, USA Today reported.

Pence reportedly showed up dressed in blue jeans, old cowboy boots and yellow gloves and spent about 40 minutes scrubbing the memorial.

This is quite a contrast to what former Vice President Joe Biden did in Delaware last year on Veterans Day, which was sit in a tent, deliver a speech, shake a few hands and be done.

There is nothing wrong with what Biden did, it’s just what politicians traditionally do. But the fact that Pence and his wife took time on a cold day to get dirty and clean the memorial shed some light on their character — and proves just how different the Trump administration is from the one that preceded it.

Former Joe Biden Secret Service Agent: We Had to Protect Women From Him, ‘Weinstein Level Stuff’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A former Secret Service agent assigned to the Vice President Joe Biden residence claims that the Service often had to protect female agents from him.

Speaking on the condition of anonymity, the agent asserted that, “We had to cancel the VP Christmas get together at the Vice President’s house because Biden would grope all of our wives and girlfriend’s asses.” The annual party was for agents and Navy personnel who were tasked with protecting the Biden family.

“He would mess with every single woman or teen. It was horrible,” the agent said.

According to the source, a Secret Service agent once got suspended for a week in 2009 for shoving Biden after he cupped his girlfriend’s breast while the couple was taking a photo with him. The situation got so heated, the source told Cassandra Fairbanks, that others had to step in to prevent the agent from hitting the then-Vice President.

Additionally, the agent claims that Biden would walk around the VP residence naked at night. “I mean, Stark naked… Weinstein level stuff,” he added. (Read more from “Former Joe Biden Secret Service Agent: We Had to Protect Women From Him, ‘Weinstein Level Stuff'” HERE)

Creepy Joe Biden on Campaign Against Sex Assault

Because who better to talk about the dangers of sexual assault than … Joe Biden.

This is just … weird.

What? Is this some sort of ‘how to’ for Biden? . . .

It’s so cute when it’s ‘their own,’ until their own get blasted in the New York Times for being life-long sexual predators who no one said anything about for decades because of their politics. (Read more from “Creepy Joe Biden on Campaign Against Sex Assault” HERE)

Obama, Biden Made Aware of Dubious Dossier of Trump Allegations before Leak

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vice President Joe Biden said Thursday that he and President Barack Obama were informed about the unverified allegations about President-elect Donald Trump by intelligence officials.

Biden said in an interview with the Associated Press that neither he nor Obama asked U.S. intelligence agencies to try to corroborate the unverified claims that Russia had obtained compromising sexual and financial allegations about Trump.

“I think it’s something that obviously the agency thinks they have to track down,” Biden said. He added later, “It surprised me in that it made it to the point where the agency, the FBI thought they had to pursue it.”

Biden added that the briefing he and Obama received from Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and others, there were “no conclusions drawn” from the leaked dossier, which was produced in August and then released publicly this week by the media. Biden said it was “totally ancillary” to the purpose of the meeting, which was to brief Obama on a report he ordered documenting Russian interference in the U.S. campaign.

“As a matter of fact, the president was like, ‘What does this have anything to do with anything?'” Biden said. He said intelligence leaders responded by saying “Well, we feel obliged to tell you, Mr. President, because you may hear about it. We’re going to tell him,” referring to Trump.

Joe Biden Says He Has ‘No Intention’ of Serving in a Hillary Clinton Administration

/0 Comments/in , /by

Amid reports that Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton was looking at Vice President Joe Biden as her top pick to serve as secretary of state in her administration if she wins the election, Biden made it clear Friday afternoon that he is not interested.

He confirmed, though, that he is still fully behind the Democratic nominee and will help her however he can.

“I’ll do anything I can if Hillary’s elected to help her, but I don’t want to remain in the administration,” Biden told Minnesota station KBJR-TV.

“I have no intention of staying involved,” he said.

Although reports emerged Thursday night that Clinton’s short list of candidates had Biden as the front-runner, the vice president had yet to be approached by the Clinton campaign about the matter.

“I think it should be no surprise that Vice President Biden would surface as a possibility for this role,” White House spokesman Eric Schultz told reporters Friday on Air Force One.

He praised Biden for having “deep foreign policy credentials” and said the vice president would bring an element of “star power” while still having “the integrity and character to represent the United States’ interests around the globe.”

In an interview with John Dickerson that aired Sunday on CBS’ Face the Nation, Biden shared his plans after his time as vice president is over.

He said he wants to continue having an impact in government, but admitted he is still figuring out exactly what he wants to do and how to make that impact.

Asked by Dickerson what he would do on his last day in office, Biden replied, “What I’m going to do is go home and begin to figure out what I do for the rest of my life.”

Politico reported Clinton is considering several other people for the secretary of state position, including former Undersecretary of State Wendy Sherman; former Deputy Secretary of State Bill Burns; Kurt Campbell, Clinton’s assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific Affairs when she was in the job; and Strobe Talbott, the deputy secretary of state during Bill Clinton’s first term and a longtime friend of the Clintons who is now the president of the Brookings Institution.

Biden Takes Apology Tour to Turkish, Muslim Brotherhood-Loving Erdogan

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Obama administration’s years-long international apology tour continues with its latest stop in Turkey, where Vice President Joe Biden expressed regret to Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan that he couldn’t have come to the Islamist strongman’s aid sooner after the failed coup last month.

“The American people stand with you; we’ve stood with you from the beginning,” Biden said at a joint news conference the nation’s capital, Ankara. Barack Obama was one of the first people to call. But I do apologize, I wish I could have been here earlier.”

This is, of course, the same Islamist strongman who’s imprisoned tens of thousands of citizens during the country’s political unrest and has been accused of a laundry list of human rights violations, including torture, a crackdown on freedom of the press, and the subversion of the rule of law.

As expected, Biden avoided public criticism of the recent purge, in which The New York Times reported almost 9,000 police officers have been fired, a third of the country’s private school teachers have been suspended, and over 10,000 soldiers have been detained.

Rather, during his time in the Middle Eastern nation, “Biden [was] expected to emphasize to Turkish officials that the purge was damaging perceptions of Turkey within the U.S., Europe and the business community,” an unnamed U.S. official told Bloomberg News.

This meeting-and-apology move is obviously an attempt to keep a finally-engaged Turkey involved in regional efforts against ISIS, which did far more harm than good as the insurgency gained ground after its precipitous rise to power in 2014.

As I have previously written:

Erdogan’s tenure in control of the country began in 2003, when he became prime minister and has continued through his assumption of the office of president in 2014. During this time, he has gained a reputation as a strongman politician who is cozy with the Muslim Brotherhood, and bent on Islamizing Turkey. Additionally, he’s been roundly criticized for his compliance in the rise of ISIS, stemming from a willful blindness to the insurgent threat. In fact, it’s almost impossible to imagine a rise of ISIS without a poorly-managed Turkish border allowing both the influx of foreign fighters to enter the so-called caliphate, while allowing smuggled oil and antiquities to come out.

In fact, Biden’s last public apology to his “old friend” was in direct connection to Turkey’s complacency in regard to ISIS’ rise. In 2014, he called Erdogan and publicly apologized for implying that the Turkish president’s inactions were partially responsible for strengthening the jihadist organization’s presence in the region.

Nonetheless, the Obama administration is making sure that it’s on record propping up the Muslim Brotherhood-loving, ISIS-complicit strongman, who will be more than emboldened to continue turning his country into a Sunni version of Iran.

This, of course, all lines up with the Obama administration’s past. It offered outspoken support for former Egyptian president Muhammad Morsi (a former Muslim Brotherhood member) during the North African country’s 2013 revolution and other policies that abetted the growth of the jihadist presence in other areas of the continent. And all that is not to mention former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s abysmal China policy that signaled to the country’s communist government that its egregious religious freedom violations would go unchallenged.

But that’s the Obama Doctrine for you. (For more from the author of “Biden Takes Apology Tour to Turkish, Muslim Brotherhood-Loving Erdogan” please click HERE)

Serbs Greet Biden With Chants of ‘Vote for Trump!’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Serbian protesters greeted Vice President Joseph R. Biden Tuesday with derisive chants of “Vote for Trump!”

Hundreds of demonstrators in Belgrade, the Serbian capital, chanted for the U.S. Republican presidential nominee upon Mr. Biden’s arrival, Reuters reported.

The demonstrators were Serbian ultranationalists protesting Mr. Biden’s one-day stop in Belgrade before his visit to Kosovo. They also wore shirts displaying an image of Mr. Trump.

“Trump is the alternative to globalization,” Vojislav Seselj, head of Serbia’s ultra-nationalist Radical Party, told Reuters when asked about supporting Mr. Trump. “He will destroy old centers of power in the United States and he is a supporter of Russia.” (Read more from “Serbs Greet Biden With Chants of ‘Vote for Trump!'” HERE)

Talk of an Assassination? Limbaugh Recalls What Clinton and Biden Said in 2008 Race

/0 Comments/in , , /by

While Democrats are busily chastising Donald Trump for calling American gun-owners to action in the upcoming election, Rush Limbaugh has uncovered a rather stunning clip of Hillary Clinton insinuating something far worse back in 2008.

The comments were made in May of that year, while Clinton was discussing her 2008 primary fight against then-Sen. Barack Obama.

Even though Clinton only trailed Obama by roughly 150 pledged delegates at that time, there were some who were saying she should have dropped out of the race and concede the nomination to Obama.

“Between my opponent and some in the media, uh, there has been this urgency to end this. You know, my husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of the June,” said Clinton.

“We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don’t understand it,” Clinton added, which some people at the time took to mean the possibility of an Obama assassination made it practical for her to say in the race.

“What do you think that’s a reference to?” Limbaugh asked Tuesday. “They’re urging her to get out of the race, and Obama’s got an insurmountable lead, and she says, ‘No, Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June, and it’s not even June yet! It’s May here. So somebody may be assassinated in June. So I’m staying in!

“I mean, folks, what Trump said yesterday doesn’t even compare, and I doubt that hardly anybody’s aware that Hillary even said this back in 2008. We played the audio; that’s why we got the clip,” he said.

Limbaugh pointed out that another high-profile Democrat has made a reference to people taking his guns that seems to have been forgotten.

“And, by the way, here’s one more from Vice President Bite Me (Biden). September 20th of 2008 — this is before the election — he’s out there in Castlewood, Virginia, at a campaign event and, as part of his remarks, Vice President Bite Me blurted out this,” said Limbaugh, who proceeded to play audio of Joe Biden from 2008.

“I guarantee ya, Barack Obama ain’t taking my shotguns! So don’t buy that malarkey! Don’t buy that malarkey! They’re gonna start peddlin’ that to ya! I got two! If he tries to fool with my Beretta, he’s got a problem,” said an irate Joe Biden out on the campaign trail.

Biden’s comment seemed to imply a willingness to use lethal force — should the president try to take his guns — and even doubled down on his comments by expressing his proficiency with firearms.

“I like that little over-and-under, you know. I’m not bad with it. So give me a break,” said Biden, waving his hands while shouting.

“OK, now, what is that?” asked Limbaugh. “Well, all that is is a Second Amendment guy. He might have been impersonating one but that’s a Second Amendment guy saying, ‘You’re not taking my guns, dude!’”

“So he’s even alluding to the fact that if Barack Obama comes for his guns, his Beretta is coming out. So who’s Biden talking about shooting here? So you got Biden and you’ve got Hillary both talking about actually shooting somebody, or somebody being shot with guns, something that Trump did not do,” he concluded.
