DeSantis. Is. A. Genius.

Breaking all precedents, Biden won't -- or more likely, can't -- talk to DeSantis to make arrangements for the coming hurricane.

President Joe Biden hasn't spoken with Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida about the state's forthcoming hurricane.

...

Biden has called other Florida elected officials. He spoke over the phone with Tampa Mayor Jane Castor Tampa and St. Petersburg Mayor Ken Welsh -- both Democrats -- and with Clearwater Mayor Frank Hibbard, a centrist Republican. The storm is set to hit all three cities.

...

Biden acknowledged the calls with mayors later in the day before kicking off a public event in the Rose Garden aimed at discussing healthcare costs. He did not mention DeSantis.

...

Presidents and governors typically hold a phone call at a time of natural disasters so presidents can offer federal support and bipartisanship. The Florida governor's office didn't immediately respond to an Insider inquiry on the matter.

I don't think he's capable of having a fluid conversation. I don't think his handlers want him talking with someone who might talk about any mental infirmities he shows on the phone calls.

Maybe his fee-fees are just hurt from DeSantis making fun of him.

Matteo Renzi, who led the center-left coalition against Giorgia Meloni's center-right coalition, calls the American propaganda press' hyperventilation about a resurgence of fascism in Italy "absolutely fake news." Remember, he's a man of the left and he's saying this is complete bullshit.

But CNN refuses to report it, says Ed Morrissey.

He defended her from charges that she was a "danger to democracy:"

"Personally I was against Georgia Meloni. I'm not her best friend. We are rivals but she is not a danger to democracy. The idea there is a risk of fascism in Italy is absolutely fake news."

You know where you can't find that reported, however? CNN. A search for "Renzi" comes up with 195 results, but the most recent is from July. The clip does not appear in the transcripts for the last couple of days. The only real mention of this CNN interview by CNN comes up in an edited clip on yesterday's Connect the World, in video but not in print. Becky Anderson introduces part of her interview with Renzi, which may or may not have been the same as from this clip above....

Anderson's Twitter handle is in the above clip. Perhaps it's not the same interview, but at one time or another, Renzi told Anderson that a return to fascism is "absolutely fake news." Why not play that declaration, especially since it goes directly to the point Anderson made in this intro?

The lack of reporting on this rather newsworthy tidbit from the news organization that created it raises suspicions of narrative journalism surrounding the Italian election results.

It's pretty damning when you quote around the part of the interview that directly addresses the Main Narrative you've been shitting out of your mouths for 48 hours.

Biden's Miracle Economy is officially now a bear market. Because it's so Strong, you understand.

Flashback, July 6: Chrystia Freeland, the Deputy PM of Canada, announced that eight (Canadian) dollar a gallon gasoline was probably a good thing because it reminds us all of the importance of climate action.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's World Economic Forum-linked finance minister told Canadians on Tuesday that record-high fuel prices are a "reminder of why climate action is so important and why as a country we need to work even harder and move even faster towards a green economy."

"It's an insurance policy against higher energy prices," Liberal Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said at a press conference.

She's such a leftwing Champagne Socialist c**** she could be Biden's Energy Secretary!

I think there should be a ban on World Economic Forum members ever flying in private planes again. I think they should be forced to take state-owned helicopters.
