Dear www.notquiterightnews.com readers,
President Biden held his first press conference after a year in office. The single word that best sums it up is: long. The two hour presser was only ‘long’ because of pauses to find words, moments of reflection and self-congratulations Biden afforded himself. Most of the media was tickled pink that he didn’t fall down and claimed he showed he wasn’t suffering from dementia. (Phew! Safe from Kamala for another year!).
After it was over, and the back slapping and handshaking was done, the President’s handlers were sent out to explain what he ‘meant to say’. Especially with regards to the apparent green light he gave Putin to invade Ukraine. The comment seems to have NATO and Eastern Europe scrambling.

The President indicated preventing Russian use of SWIFT financing would be the harshest form of sanctions ever put on Russia. IMO this sanction won’t harm Russia in any way. They are selling gas and energy to a freezing Europe. Europe will pay Russia in gold if they have to. (Pretty sure it won’t be Bitcoin!). Russia is looking for anyway possible to have the dollar lose influence. If they don’t have to use it, they will find workarounds, most definitely with Chinese assistance.
To think anything President Biden put out yesterday in any way is positive for the US is to be deceived. The US is fortunate that two Democrat Senators (Manchin and Sinema) had the courage to save the filibuster and prevent the Federal takeover of US elections.
In fact, the Federalism of the US government is what is saving the US from being overtaken by a Democrat Party that has only the slimmest possible margin, while acting like they have a mandate to oppose anything the people want.
The politics of the US system are a pendulum. It swings back and forth. The overreach by the current administration will be met with a pendulum swing back to the right. The only question is how far.
The more the voters see of Biden and Harris, the further to the right the voters will go in November.
