Biden’s big con – here’s what president, Democrats afraid to tell you about COVID, the economy

Liz Peek Articles

Joe Biden is conning the American people. He is lying about COVID and he is lying about the economy. We are not in the midst of a dark long winter. We are on the cusp of a bounteous blooming spring.

President Biden doesn’t want you to know the good news. Why? Because then you will refuse to write him and his Democrat colleagues a bit fat $1.9 trillion blank check.

And, because if the virus disappears in the next few months, even the most gullible CNN-watching Biden groupie will know that Donald J. Trump conquered COVID, not Joe Biden.

Some radicals might even conclude that President Trump’s Operation Warp Speed has delivered a miracle.

Consider the facts. COVID cases have dropped by more than 70% in recent weeks, more than the “experts” predicted. Fatalities, which lag cases, are also plummeting. Vaccine delivery is ramping up, and already some 15% of Americans have received a shot.

Johns Hopkins’ Dr. Mark Makary, writing recently in the Wall Street Journal, concludes that the welcome collapse in virus cases, which began in January, cannot be attributed solely to the end of holiday festivities or the start-up of vaccines. He says it also suggests that the medical community is vastly underestimating the number of people in the country who have contracted the virus, are asymptomatic, and who have developed immunities.

Makary thinks, assessing the data, that “The country is racing toward an extremely low level of infection.”

He concludes that the U.S. is nearing “herd immunity” and that “COVID will be mostly gone by April, allowing Americans to resume normal life.”

Imagine. Imagine being able to go to the movies, send your kid to school or travel to see your relatives, without fear. Imagine being able to leave your mask at home.

Joe Biden doesn’t want you indulging in such happy daydreams. Instead, he wants you to be afraid, and to stay home.

Asked at a recent CNN town hall when the country might get back to normal, Biden meandered, first saying that maybe by Christmas we would see progress, but then suggesting that “a year from now, I think that there will be significantly fewer people having to be socially distanced, have to wear a mask, instead of – but we don’t know.”

Biden continued: “it is highly unlikely that by the beginning of next year, school – traditional school year in September, we are not significantly better off than we are today.”

So, Biden thinks we’ll get back to normal by Christmas, or by February 2022, or maybe by September. But, he doesn’t really know.

Makary isn’t alone in reading good news in the virus statistics. Youyang Gu, a data scientist whose model has proved the most accurate forecaster of COVID deaths, predicts we will reach herd immunity (or “normality,” as his team now calls it) by June/July. Not as soon as April, but soon.

None of these forecasters suggests we should drop all precautions. Indeed, progress may require continued mask-wearing and social-distancing for the next few months. But by early summer, we can resume our pre-COVID lives.

Given this prospect, the priorities are clear: we need to reopen our country. That is the stimulus the U.S. needs, not a $1.9 trillion spend-a-thon that tosses $135 million to the National Endowment for the Arts, $750 million to address global health issues, $10 million for “Native American language preservation” and a host of other unrelated Democrat goodies.

Importantly, not a bill that includes $350 billion to bail out mismanaged blue cities and states or one that hikes the minimum wage to $15 per hour, threatening struggling small businesses.

With more than $1 trillion still unspent from prior bills, the Democrats’ proposal is irresponsible. It carries the near-term risk of inflation and the longer-term problem of undermining the dollar.

We need to pause, and let the current economic momentum carry us forward. People are itching to get back to their pre-COVID lives, and have the means to make it happen.

Even now, the rebound is encouraging. Retail sales, housing permits, industrial production – all topping expectations.

Economists who had lowered forecasts for near-term growth after some tepid job reports have become more optimistic; the Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow series projects first-quarter growth at 9.5%.

We are making all this progress even with significant industries, like airlines and entertainment, and  some big states still locked down. California and New York, which together account for nearly one-quarter of the nation’s economy, are still largely under wraps.

Indifferent to the risks and ignoring reality, Democrats are pushing ahead with their budget-busting “American Rescue Plan,” hoping that Americans won’t notice the good news about our economy and about COVID. They haven’t even bothered to argue the bill’s economic merits, but instead claim that polling shows the measure to be popular.

Thus they inadvertently reveal their real rationale – that the taxpayer largesse will allow them to keep control of Congress in 2022.

There are people suffering in our country, and we need to help those folks. We must protect people who have lost their jobs because of COVID, and businesses teetering on the brink of failure. That’s what the GOP counteroffer of $600 billion would have done, the sensible alternative that Joe Biden ignored, even as he pretends to want bipartisan support.

Joe Biden’s White House may be the first in history to cover up – not bad news – but good news. Either way, it’s a con.

@GaryKaltbaum @lizpeek @Varneyco Something around 10% going to Covid support. Most of it is going somewhere else of which there will be no accounting. Alot of it is earmarked for 2022. Anyone know where the funds for those shovel ready projects went with Obama. Well this money is sbout to join it.

Congress has not even discussed economy- before spending $1.9 TRILLLION shouldn’t we debate why more "relief" is needed?

Our rebounding economy doesn't need more stimulus checks

It’s apparently impolite to ask, but can someone please explain why Democrats are so keen to send out $1,400 to able-bodied Americans who are still employed?

Liz Peek: Liberal lies have created this moment – Trump can do this to secure his legacy

For four years, Democrats and their handmaidens in the liberal media have lied their heads off, spinning false narratives aimed at undermining President Trump.

With all of the documented and fact checked lies from tRump, this is a satire page, right?

Why not use your gift of writing to bring people together. The curtain has been lifted and we see clearly his tantrums have escalated to violence. Why not write on how we can solve problems together instead of continuing this lie that Americans that don’t vote my party are evil.

Who’s been lying for four years ?? FACT CHECK ! Trumps been lying since he crawled from the slime he still wallows in. Fox, GOP Gingrich, Ailes , you, all professional liars.

All of the non Republicans in the government TOGETHER could not tell as many lies as Mr. Trump – starting with the crown size at the Inauguration.

There's nothing more incredible than a Trump supporter who claims to be concerned about honesty.

So ridiculous.

That you are a professional political writer is truly hilarious.

Ah, you spent your entire column burying the lede:
"But now, to maintain his powerful voice and leadership, he needs to concede. The Left is using his refusal to admit defeat as more proof that he is undermining our democracy. He cannot allow this to be his legacy; his presidency has been so much bigger than that.

Trump should confound the Left, as he has done on so many occasions, by calling off the shaky legal battles and by stepping aside. If only for now."

No wonder you can only find work at Fox News.

You are truly deranged,

thehill.com/opinion/finance/536463-our-rebounding-economy-doesnt-need-more-stimulus-checks yeah, uh uh. This you?

Don’t know why you would share videos of geraldo and joy who are anti trump. You’re part of the deep state Liz.

Liz Peek, you are so full of shit. Your opinions are only yours and create division you pos entitled white Trumper. F u!

You have got to be smoking something! Trump being a lowlife whiny pissant created his own downfall!

Liz, do you like sniffing Trump's butt after he's farted?

You are an idiot. You should be ashamed of trying to prolong this countries horror of the last 4 years. These are times the 1st amendment should be abolished. HE LOST!!!! QUIT BEING A SORE LOSER AND ACT LIKE AN ADULT. And, people like you are only fueling his demented state.

www.foxnews.com/opinion/obama-warning-biden-americans-worried-liz-peek

Produce the exact evidence that Obama ever said this. Better yet, stop writing altogether. You truly are grotesque.

You are interviewing with a media resource that has been defrauding the public of many truthful facts for "decades." You should focus on all the fraud covered up by the legal industry, in this country, in the hands of people like Donald J. Trump, Barack Obama and George Wl Bush and their "Friends and Affiliations" employed in the very unethical media industry.

Imagine still thinking the Russia investigation was a witch-hunt.

Go read the REPUBLICAN SENATE report.

Russia tried to help Trump win, because Trump is owned (literally owned) by Russian money. He has a negative net worth.

After the damage done to our democracy, after the murder and mayhem committed by RightWing nuts who actually BELIEVE the vitriol and lies and disinformation spouted by the likes of Liz Peek, she proves that she has no allegiance to the USA, no allegiance to our society (and free elections) and is strictly sycophant of extremist RightWing groups and their propaganda Network, Fox (who supply her with money, thereby giving Liz Peek her "cause" for spreading lies). She's the worst.

Oh honey! Trump is the congenital liar. And remember, in the U.S. a business states it’s rules…No Shirt No Shoes No Service. Don’t follow the rules? Goodbye.

This Peek woman is very very sick.

This election is not over: the China-Hunter-Biden scandal only grows, polls are narrowing – 100+ million people yet to vote. Plus, Joe stepped in it again last night.
Here’s my take on the final debate:

At the final presidential debate, Trump came prepared to show the country that he could be civil, stay (mostly) on topic, and still beat Biden.

Thank you LP. We need more American’s with your insight.

You claim Obama/Biden separated families. Lie. Prove it.

Why was your own son investigated after being abruptly turfed out of the National Security Council? Takes nepotism and corruption to know it so well.

I love your articles. Love the truth. Article on Fox said go to twitter or facebook. I have banned myself from the Democratic control of twitter. I tried other ways posted to contact you and express my gratitude for your fairness. All other channels to contact you seem to be blocked. So… Thankyou and keep fighting for Liberty and Justice!

Here's hoping the investigations into the insurrectionist conspiracy find media outlets like Fox — and bigmouth disinformation spreader like Liz Peek — financially culpable. Hit them in the pocketbook, where it really hurts them.

tRump can't even fundraise as well as Biden – people hate him – except Russian-loving bimbos like you with their heads so far up 45's ass they can't see anything but his polyps. Is that why right wing bimbo Trump horndogs always wear sphincter-colored lip color? Will Putin let you work at his pool house along with 45 and his baby mama sex worker in January? Probably not – after all you're not "an elite" – you're insignificant, irrelevant and inconsequential – just another fading bleached blonde liar. Please make sure to attend his upcoming rally – increase the viral spread! BTW your roots are showing – you even lie about your hair color – looks kind of like the color of a bleached dog turd on a hot August afternoon. Ugly – inside and out.

Good god but you are a stupid vile sack of shit.

The polls are narrowing? LOL electoral-vote.com/

Let's face it Joe Biden is a LIAR & a criminal, Period! Poll 95% say Trump won the debate. Bottom line is Joe ['THE BIG GUY'] Biden flip flops, lies & sells out Americans to enrich himself besides being a crooked & corrupt crime family. PERIOD! Joe was an absolute mess in this last debate! Biden was lying, flip flopping, stuttering, slurring & a forgetful mess. He looked terrible. Sounded terrible. Mic drops where when Trump calls Joe 'THE BIG GUY' & Trump says “They spent 48M on me & found no collusion …nothing. I can spend $1 million on you Joe and find plenty.” LOVE IT WTG TRUMP!! Lt. Tony Bobulinksi confirmed 'THE BIG GUY IS JOE BIDEN & HE GETS 10% [Tony Bobulinski: "There’s no question "H" stands for Hunter & the "Big Guy" is Joe Biden"] & Hunter gets 20%. Tony also said that the Chinese involvement in the deal was for "political or influence investment" on their part, and that "Hunter wanted to use the company as his personal piggy bank by just taking money out of it as soon as it came from the Chinese." Biden's are as corrupt as Clintons, PERIOD!

all over face book biden gaffe re lincoln saying he has new eye computer he was looking up and dint read reply right with all the gadgetry the white house have they should be able to confirm its true or not even if a slight suspicion trump could say biden and his team were corrupt want another debate but biden to be checked by independent electrocis bods and to be screened come on man u know it makes sense je

Does this person get paid to spread this bullshit,Its Fake News.

why didnt trump ask biden why he and obuma didnt setthe record straight when the media nd the nad four said it was trump that did the cages ask trump just ask that at a press gathering or the lady that does the daily white house chat
