President Joseph Biden is striding out of summer 2022 in better position in almost every respect than when he slumped into it three months ago. Many in the political class, who had been consigning him to the electoral equivalent of hospice care, are squinting to find a root cause.

The old saw that it is better to be lucky than smart is partly true. Among the events that have helped Biden make the case for himself and his party, even as they were mostly or entirely out of his control, are the Supreme Court’s decision revoking abortion rights, the global retreat of gas prices from their peaks earlier in the year, and former President Donald Trump’s mounting legal problems and flailing response to them. Even recent legislative successes seemed powered by Democratic brokers on Capitol Hill rather than by the president’s engagement.

But let’s remember another sturdy maxim. “Good luck is what is left over after intelligence and effort have combined at their best,” said baseball legend Branch Rickey. “Luck is the residue of design.”

In the opening phase of his presidency, Biden often seemed to be acting without any credible strategic design — the opposite of smart. To the extent he had a theory of the case, it amounted to, We will swiftly pass a bunch of big stuff and people will like it and the Trump era will quickly fade away. All three assumptions proved wobbly.

Biden is now belatedly passing the Rickey test — smart and lucky are reinforcing each other, as shown in recent polls. In particular, there are five strategic insights that were missing from his early presidency on clear display in his recent revival.

Oh I thought this was going to show that the imbecile you idiots elected actually had an IQ above a rock but alas it didn't. What remains is the imbecile you idiots elected claimed to have graduated at the top of his law school class but was in fact very near the bottom. Not only is Brandon an imbecile elected by idiots he's a liar.

That's how smart Joe is, he thinks recession is a good thing. The poor bastards too stupid to know better.

While two consecutive quarters of negative growth is often considered a recession, it's not an official definition. A nonprofit, non-partisan organization called the National Bureau of Economic Research determines when the U.S. economy is in a recession. An NBER committee made up of eight economists makes that determination and many factors go into that calculation.

The White House has pushed back against calling the current economy a recession. It is no doubt aware of the role the economy is going to play in the midterm elections.

President Biden cited record job growth and foreign business investment as signs of strength in the economy. "That doesn't sound like a recession to me," Biden concluded.

Can it be a recession if there are so many jobs being created?
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen noted in a recent appearance on NBC's Meet the Press that while two consecutive quarters of negative growth is generally considered a recession, conditions in the economy are unique.

"When you're creating almost 400,000 jobs a month, that is not a recession," she said.

Aren't you happy about President Biden's record job growth?

I love me some Branch Rickey


Do all you can to thwart bad luck in your planning

Then deal with the bad luck that still shows up post planning


It works


All my life I have done that


I have horrible luck


And have always been able to surmount it by this method

Pedo-Hitler read a speech written by his CCL paymadtetd off a teleprompter claiming the economy is doing just great in true Orwellian fashion and that makes him smart? No it makes you stupid and is just one more piece of evidence that Politico is nothing but a member of the DNC ministry of propaganda.

Did he declare 75 million Americans enemies of the state for voting the wrong way again?
 
I see Biden as the sort of idiot discussed in Mark Twain's short story, Luck.

https://www.voanews.com/MediaAssets2/learningenglish/2012_04/se-as-luck-mark-twain.pdf

It concludes with:

Well, sir, every one of them is the record of some great stupidity or other. They are proof that the best thing that can happen to a man is to be born lucky. I say again, as I did at the dinner, Scoresby's a complete fool.

Biden nearly got kicked out of law school for plagiarizing. He graduated near the bottom of his class, as he did for his undergraduate studies. He somehow got elected to Congress where for decades he said racist, stupid, and idiotic things while being on the wrong side of history in almost every major policy vote he made. Yet, somehow he became Vice President, then President. He has shown himself profoundly stupid in office as President, yet he persists in office.

I'd say, like Scoresby in Twain's story, he's a complete fool and idiot but he has profound luck.
