Less than one year since he assumed office, Joe Biden has managed to turn his presidency into a deeply unpopular monarchy. No longer is he the genial but generally harmless buffoon who entertained most of us while he was in Congress with his mispronunciations, misquotes, and embellished tales of dubious authenticity. As a result of the 2020 presidential election that was, at best, questionable, Biden was elevated well past his ability, and he proceeded to wreck virtually everything he touched as leader of the free world.
On his first day in office, via executive order, Biden closed the Keystone pipeline for no other reason

Government is a most discouraging aspect of existence because it is a pervasive given. In the hearts of 99 percent of readers is the desire to be left alone by government. My daughter-in-law started a small charity venture several years ago, and it has grown wildly. She was originally of a liberal bent but now sees government negatively intruding into her efforts. She may not be on board the Trump train, but she has jumped over to the libertarian track.
She wants government to leave her alone, but no! Even charitable ventures must come with their own gift wrapping of red tape.

While ancillary issues like cancel culture and critical race theory further the divide between Democratic elites and American voters—and, indeed, electability—the top issue in 2022 has always been and will continue to be the economy. Pocketbook issues always matter most, especially now and regardless of the daily social media cycle.
On that score, President Biden has every reason to be concerned. Even Democrats can’t paint a rosy picture for 2022, hence the likes of NPR predicting a “red wave.”
You don’t have to be a Republican to see it. Just crunch the numbers: U.S. inflation recently surged to a nearly 40-year high, rising 6.8 percent from a year ago—

Two Kentucky infants remarkably survived being picked up by a tornado while sheltering inside a bathtub, according to their grandmother.
Clara Lutz, the babies' grandmother, said she placed 3-month-old Dallas and 15-month-old Kaden inside the tub with a blanket and a bible on Friday during a tornado warning.
"Next thing I knew, the tub had lifted and it was out of my hands," Lutz explained to WFIE-TV. "I couldn’t hold on. I just – oh my God."
Lutz was reportedly struck in the back of the head by a water tank during the storm. She searched frantically through the rubble of her house for the children after the storm had passed.

Just before 10 a.m., cars begin pulling into the parking lot of the Country Thrift Market, a sprawling former grocery store 40 miles from Pittsburgh.
Normally, folks in the area shop for gently used clothing, toys and deeply discounted home goods here. But today is different because Santa Claus is on site along with free cookies, provisions, frozen turkeys and hundreds of brand-new winter coats in every child's size.
Most of the cars and trucks that pull in have seen better days, but the children inside them look excited, seemingly unaware they are in need of charity.
The families at this event never stopped working during the pandemic, said Justin McAtee,

The electric car revolution will stall in the West if supplies of crucial battery elements like lithium fail to keep up with the forecast huge increase in demand.
As with most manufacturing and industry, China currently dominates the battery processing market too, and it is responsible for about 80% of global battery chemical refining capacity.
A possibly overlooked supply problem by the Biden administration especially considering President Biden just outlined a plan for 50% of new car purchases to be zero-emissions by 2030.
Lithium is a mineral that is key for electric car batteries. The pricing for it continues to rise in price,

Are you better off than you were one year ago?
That’s the message the White House is trying to convey in a year-end memo to Democratic lawmakers and other supporters, according to a new report from Axios.
The memo — titled “2021: POTUS Delivered for Working Families” — illustrates in words and graphics what the Biden administration describes as a year of accomplishments, according to the outlet.
The two-page document touts the COVID-19 vaccination program, the widespread reopening of schools, and a decline in the unemployment rate and jobless claims. It also hails the passage of two major spending bills this year: the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan in March

One of the most notable failures of Team Brandon has been the backup of the LA port and the snarling of America’s supply chains. When inflation and supply chain issues first became major issues a few months ago, Americans saw image after image of ships sitting off the California coast, waiting to unload.
Since then, the shipping issue has largely faded from the public consciousness. Brandon himself declared victory, most outlets have stopped covering it, and regime media blames inflation on the “greed” of corporations rather than supply chain mismanagement.
But the problem, despite being forgotten by many, is far from over. In fact, it’s still so bad that Halloween costumes

Pecan trees can grow as tall as 100 feet with a productive life of 40 years. But 40 is average. In 2017, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas became home to a “champion” pecan tree – one of the nation’s tallest and oldest. Recorded by Lewis and Clark as a “tall tree” in 1804 during their explorations along a river near the present site of Fort Leavenworth, this tree is over 200 years old and towers to 130 feet.
My grandmother’s pecan tree in Charlotte, N.C. stood about 40 feet tall when I was growing up in the ’60s. When she bought the property in 1962,

Elections matter. It shows in the sometimes not so subtle changes that surface unintended consequences. The shift to the left with President Joe Biden taking office and both houses of Congress narrowly in control by the
Democrats is impacting our country in a profoundly negative way. The takers in our society are emboldened and are grabbing at all they can get.
In metropolitan areas, we are seeing well organized mobs storming high-end stores, grabbing merchandise, fleeing, and openly selling their stolen goods. In Washington and state capitols, the progressive takers are demanding more and more free services and subsidies.

Since the 45th president first leapt from the world of business and media into politics, pundits have speculated endlessly about the origin of his populism. To the 21st century reporter and even casual observer, Trump’s aggressive and bombastic tribunesque populism appeared to come out of nowhere. Critics looked quickly at foreign political examples, such as Mussolini or Hitler, conflating the use of personal political charisma with the worst who ever employed it.
But perhaps the real role model came from closer to home.
About the same time that Donald Trump emerged to impose his will on the real estate market in New York City,

As RedState has reported on extensively, the so-called “Build Back Better” bill is currently dead. Joe Manchin finally put the nail in the coffin, announcing his opposition over the weekend. Since then, the coping and seething has been entertaining, with figures like Bernie Sanders angrily lashing out.
But that’s all these Democrats can do. They have no other move to make here to try to get their agenda passed. Yelling at clouds will have to do, and Chuck Schumer is vowing to throw a fit that will ultimately screw his own members. [Tweet]
So Schumer’s big plan is to force a vote that will fail?
