Democrats push to eliminate the debt ceiling,
allow unlimited government borrowing
Posted By: Imright, 1/23/2023 1:10:25 PM
Dozens of House Democrats have proposed legislation that would eliminate the debt ceiling, which would allow the government to borrow without any limit set by Congress. The federal government hit the $31.381 trillion debt ceiling last week, and House Republicans are pushing for commitments to cut back on the record growth in federal spending before agreeing to allow more borrowing. But Democrats accuse Republicans of setting up the possibility of prohibiting a debt ceiling hike, which would make the government unable to fund all of its current obligations. Democrats say a better idea is to eliminate all limits on federal borrowing and allow

During a Town Hall on Thursday in Virginia, Joe Biden appeared to suffer another dementia-induced outburst giving a speech about the economy.
“Talk about being deprived of your pride!,” Biden shouted, clenching his teeth and shaking his fist. “LOOK AT YOUR CHILD. CHILD! You know needs it! And you can’t afford it!”, Biden exclaimed, making zero sense whatsoever.
Watch this awkward moment: (Tweet/Video) This wasn’t the only head-scratching moment of the speech for Joe. He also falsely claimed that we’re not in a recession and that the economy is fine and dandy. (Tweet/Video)
At another point in the speech, Biden told the audience that he will Veto any bill that Republicans send
WASHINGTON — The art of the suck-up.
First son Hunter Biden’s art dealer Georges Berges lavished praise on the novice’s works one day after getting slapped with a sales-record demand from House Republicans alleging influence-peddling involving President Biden.
In an effusive Thursday statement to The Post, the Soho gallery owner declined to say if he would hand over documents and sit for questions as requested by House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.), but made sure to celebrate Hunter’s work for reflecting the “unrelenting divinity within each of us.”
Berges described Hunter, a 52-year-old recovering crack addict who earned millions
In the wake of the "Twitter Files," let's revisit former President Barack Obama's warning last April about the spread of misinformation: "You just have to flood a country's public square with enough raw sewage. You just have to raise enough questions, spread enough dirt, plant enough conspiracy theorizing that citizens no longer know what to believe."
Does the "raw sewage" include when Obama falsely said, "The Cambridge police acted stupidly"; that "If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon"; and that racism in America is "still part of our DNA that's passed on"?
Does raw sewage include the part in Obama's speech before the United Nations
Liberal Republican and Firing Line host Margaret Hoover talked to historian and Biden speechwriter Jon Meacham in the latest edition of the relaunched public affairs show on PBS. Hoover allowed Meacham to claim “I’m not a Democrat. I’m not a Republican. I’m not an operative. I don’t have any political insights after, say, Antietam." That was self-evidently false.
When Hoover asked Meacham for “the essential quality for a successful American president,” Meacham predictably cited Lincoln, the subject of his latest biography, and found some oddball modern-day comparisons,
In response to a teacher getting shot by a 6-year-old in a Virginia school, where officials blatantly ignored multiple warnings that the kid had a gun that day, ABC co-host Joy Behar lashed out at law-abiding gun owners and other gun rights activists via The View on Thursday. She accused those millions of Americans of having a “mental illness” and demanded they “be stopped immediately.”
“We need to grow up,” Behar sneered at America while dubiously asserting that “[w]e're between Venezuela and Brazil with the most mass shootings.”
Over the past few years, a cottage industry of “fact checkers” and “misinformation” experts has emerged to advance the left’s mission of silencing dissent to its agenda around the world. Analysis of the funding of these organizations leads back to a familiar figure: left-wing billionaire George Soros.
The New York Post broke down the trail of Soros dollars linking a global network of organizations intent on suppressing and discrediting conservative voices online. (Photos)
NYPD Officer Sues Over Lost-Pay Punishment
for Wearing Pro-Trump Patch, Leaves Judge 'Speechless' 5 replies

In this episode of The Double Standards of Liberal Hypocrisy…
A New York Police Department sergeant was suspended for 10 days in February 2021 without pay and also lost 30 days of vacation pay for wearing a pro-Trump patch while on duty while working at a Black Lives Matter protest. A video of the “incident” quickly circulated on social media, prompting the department to swiftly bring the hammer down on the “offending” officer, which is where our story begins.
The “offending” patch read: “Trump Make Enforcement Great Again.” In response to the incident, former Police Commissioner Dermot Shea tweeted:
Members of the NYPD must remain apolitical-
San Francisco court officials announced late Thursday that they will release the Paul Pelosi attack video on Friday morning.
The court is expected to release the 911 call and the video of the alleged attack.
The tape will be available at 9 AM.
CBS News reported: The police body camera video showing the attack on former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband at their San Francisco home last October will be released to the media on Friday morning, according to court officials.
A statement released by the San Francisco Superior Court said the video and audio in the case of the People vs. David DePape will be made “available to accredited media members”
Gov. Ron DeSantis weighed in on the battle for chair of the Republican National Committee, throwing his support behind challenger Harmeet Dhillon and spelling out the need for new blood after disappointing midterm elections.
It sets up a proxy clash between two of the Republican party's heavyweights and possible 2024 rivals, as former President Donald Trump is quietly backing incumbent Ronna McDaniel.
'I think we need a change, I think we need to get some new blood in the RNC,' DeSantis said.
'I like what Harmeet Dhillon has said about getting the RNC out of DC [...] We need some fresh thinking.'
President Biden helped his convict 31-year-old niece Caroline Biden land an interview for a job at Masimo Corporation, whose owner is one of his biggest donors, but she balked at the $85,000-a-year salary, records from Hunter Biden's laptop show.
Caroline, the daughter of Joe Biden's brother Jim and his wife Sara, in 2017 pled guilty to buying more than $100,000 worth of makeup on a stolen credit card.
She managed to get out of a grand larceny charge and the two-year prison sentence that carried, but was sentenced to two years' probation, which she wanted to serve in Los Angeles to be near her cousin Hunter Biden.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer accused the Biden administration of a 'coordinated effort' to shield the president's son from scrutiny on Thursday.
It comes in response to the Treasury Department blocking - at least temporarily - House Republicans' request for documents related to Hunter Biden's financial transactions.
A Treasury official told Comer that he would need to supply additional details for his request.
The business dealings of Hunter Biden as well as if and how they ensnare President Joe Biden himself are a top priority for Comer's investigative panel - something he's made clear even before Republicans took control of the House at the beginning of this year.
President Joe Biden on Thursday accused Republicans of wanting to cause 'chaos' in the country, raising his voice to a shout to make his point, but he fumbled his message at the start when he called a well-known local congressman by the wrong name.
He referred to Democratic Rep. Don Beyer of Virginia, who represents the area in Congress as 'Doug' at least four times during his speech - three times at the start and then later in his remarks. Beyer, before he was elected to Congress, was famous locally as the owner of a large car dealership. Ads featuring him ran on the local airwaves.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) once again took to the airwaves to say Democratic cities who declared themselves to be a sanctuary for illegal immigrants are being stretched thin due to the large number of people crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. New York City has had to open a fifth shelter for recent arrivals from the southern border, which is in addition to using hotels and homeless shelters to house people coming from Latin America and even parts of Asia. (snip) He went on to blame Republicans for blocking "comprehensive immigration policies" that caused the massive influx of illegal crossings.
Russia today warned that Germany's decision to send dozens of modern tanks to Ukraine is 'extremely dangerous' and will 'take the conflict to a new level'.
Bringing an end to a bitter row, Chancellor Olaf Scholz finally confirmed today Berlin will send its own German-made Leopard 2 tanks to the front lines and allow Nato allies to deliver some of theirs.
Scholz even teased further deliveries of air defence systems, heavy artillery and multiple rocket launchers and says Germany 'intends to expand what we have delivered', a major U-turn on the chancellor's previous reluctance.
Russia branded the move a 'blatant provocation'
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky today declared he wanted Western allies to send long-range missiles and jets to his war-torn country to help repel Russian troops.
'I've spoken with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg today... We must also open deliveries of long-range missiles to Ukraine, it is important - we must expand our cooperation in artillery,' Zelensky said, also adding Ukraine needed jets.
'This is a dream. And this is a task.'
Zelensky's latest plea comes just hours after the US and Germany both announced they would send battalions of M1 Abrams and Leopard 2 tanks to bolster the efforts of Ukraine's armed forces to push Vladimir Putin's troops back
Microsoft co-founder and billionaire Bill Gates believes one of the solutions to combat climate change is to stop cows from burping.
Gates invested in a startup company in Australia that is exploring dietary supplements for cows in an effort to contain ‘greenhouse gas emissions.’
“Australian climate technology company Rumin8 has closed Phase 2 of its seed funding round, led by Bill Gates-founded Breakthrough Energy Ventures (BEV) with participation from Andrew and Nicola Forrest’s agri-food business Harvest Road Group,” according to the company’s news release.
On Tuesday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “Eric Bolling The Balance,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) argued that the FBI’s leadership has become a “political class” and that reforming the agency is “only going to happen if we get a president who gets rid of the top 10% and brings in some law enforcement people” who are not political actors.
Paul stated, “I think it’s swamp fever, Potomac fever. The ones closest to the swamp have become infected with influence and power and politics. I play golf with a retired FBI agent. He’s conservative. Most of the agents that I meet in the field are conservative.

Billions of dollars worth of U.S. weapons are on the negotiating table between Russian strongman Vladimir Putin and Afghanistan’s Taliban government, according to at least one insider.
Presidentish Joe Biden’s bungled bugout from Afghanistan resulted in a windfall for the new radical Islamic government, including artillery, attack helicopters, and thousands of HUMVEES, machine guns, radios — all left behind as our orderly withdrawal degenerated into a rout.
The Department of Defense estimates the total value of the gear Biden left behind at a whopping $7.12 billion, and now Putin is reportedly offering to buy whatever he and the battered Russian Army need.
A Georgia prosecutor investigating Donald Trump's efforts to overturn his defeat in the state's 2020 presidential election told a judge on Tuesday that decisions on whether to bring criminal charges are 'imminent.'
Fani Willis, the Fulton County district attorney, spoke at a hearing on whether to publicly release the final report from a special grand jury that spent months examining the Trump campaign's actions.
She urged county Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney to keep the report secret for now, warning that future defendants could argue that unsealing the document hurt their right to a fair trial,
I may have misjudged Kevin McCarthy, for I had very low expectations for his tenure as Speaker of the House. So far, he is doing a bang-up job, and is keeping his word to the Freedom Caucus members that held up his vote to take the gavel. There is plenty of time to be disappointed in the 23 months ahead of this Congress but give the man credit for a job well done. So far. (snip) McCarthy tossed Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell from the ultra-sensitive House Intelligence Committee, sending them whining
If the Biden administration was looking for a deflection from the president’s classified documents scandal, they’ve now been handed one. According to CNN, multiple classified documents were found at the home of Mike Pence after he apparently had his lawyer conduct a search. (snip) Because of Pence’s stupidity, the narrative will shift to blaming the system in order to excuse Biden’s criminality. This was the lifeline the president needed.
Where Have All the Station Wagons Gone?
23 replies
As I said a heartfelt goodbye to my 2014 Subaru Impreza Sport 5-Door last September, there was something I wondered as I walked off the used car lot: where are all the station wagons?
As it turns out, in the year 2023, there aren’t that many station wagons on the road, period.
“The standard data provider for new vehicle sales doesn’t even break down wagons anymore,” says Kevin Roberts, director of industry insights and analytics at CarGurus. “Most of the time, they’ll probably end up classified as a crossover or a hatchback.”
Some data aggregators have “station wagon” as a trim or body variant, but you’ll be hard-pressed

Representative Adam Schiff (D., Calif.) announced Thursday that he will be launching a campaign for Senator Dianne Feinstein’s California seat in 2024.
“I look forward to campaigning hard in this race, meeting Californians where they are, and listening to what they want from their next Senator. I hope to earn their votes and their trust,” Schiff said in a statement.
Schiff was recently removed from the House Intelligence Committee by Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) in response to the former’s conduct as a lead investigator during the Trump impeachment hearings.
