On Thursday, Joe Biden’s handlers poured down Joe’s pudding hole whatever chemical cocktail keeps him momentarily functioning and his eyelids from moving, and pointed him the direction of a microphone. Joe then bumbled through his economy talk, forgetting names and spouting nonsense about how strong the economy is.

During his speech, Joe denied that we are actually IN a recession. Biden claimed that his monstrosity, the absurdly named “Inflation Reduction Act,” would cure inflation and kill recession. None of this is true. It is all demonstrably false. It’s all a lie. We are IN a recession.

Biden lives in a “Seinfeld” episode. To paraphrase one famous line: “Joey, it’s not a lie, if you believe it.”
