McCain Library Built With $83M in COVID
‘Public Health Emergency’ Money

Original Article

Biden paid a visit to Arizona to claim that everyone who opposes him is a threat to democracy, to brag about encouraging former Senator McCain to cheat on his disabled first wife, and to announce $83 million in taxpayer money for the John McCain National Library. The 80,000-square-foot library built on 22.5 acres at Arizona State Universe will archive McCain’s papers and claims, implausibly, that it will have over 100,000 visitors a year. Politicians stealing taxpayer money to build useless monuments to each other’s vanity is nothing new, but what is unusual is the source of the money for the McCain library. The Biden administration put out a press release announcing that

I guess using Covid money to fund anything concerning McCain is appropriate, one disease paying for another.

That is over $11.00 from every man woman and child in Az, $0.25 from every man woman and child in America. For a local Senators "Library", from an Administration that has seized under subpoena and armed federal officers ALL of the "Papers" from an actual President, to keep HIM from having ANYTHING to put in a "Library" which under LAW he is entitled and expected to create. How many sq/ft was/is his HOUSE? How many acres does it set upon? What was the total net worth of his Estate? Normally if a Politician wants to endow a Library, he uses his OWN HOME, his OWN land(or land he purchases) and funds it from his OWN Estate. Face it...If those are HIS papers, they had to have been saved and stored in HIS properties, and still should be. I hope they use THIS photo, blown up 100 times life size in the entry lobby https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/world/2008-10/17/content_7167462.htm

I heard Ben Domenech, Meghan's husband, on Laura Ingraham. She asked him about this and he said Biden was wrong to do it. That it was a "See, I can cross the aisle" just like they did before Trump. Right. Her said that no one in the family had requested it and that Meghan was against it as well. Laura didn't press because he was on about another subject but he was very clear.

Never let a good government handout go to waste, eh? Follow the money on ALL these "libraries" devoted to former Federal employees, the elected ersatz celebrities. McCain was another U.S. Congresspuke who benefitted from U.S. tax dollars flowing to Ukraine. The other one was his sidekick from South Carolina, Ms. Graham. I have always wondered how McCain's "Institute" was built at Arizona State University, since it was unlikely that wife Cindy would invest her own inherited "beer money" on something for her ever wandering adulterous husband.

Fifty-five Chinese sailors are feared dead after their nuclear submarine apparently got caught in a trap intended to ensnare British sub-surface vessels in the Yellow Sea. According to a secret UK report the seamen died following a catastrophic failure of the submarine's oxygen systems which poisoned the crew. The captain of the Chinese PLA Navy submarine '093-417' is understood to be among the deceased, as were 21 other officers. Officially, China has denied the incident took place. It also appears Beijing refused to request international assistance for its stricken submarine. The UK report into the fatal mission reads: 'Intelligence reports that on 21st of August there was an onboard accident

The Bill passed by a margin of 34-5 in the State Senate and 95-14 in the State House. At the bill signing, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) said, “Unfortunately, in our society, we have very heinous sex crimes that are committed against children under the age of 12 years old. These are really the worst of the worst.

A recent Gallup poll found that Americans trust the GOP more than the Democrats on the economy by the largest margin in more than three decades. More than half of Americans, 53%, trust the GOP, compared to 39% who say they trust the Democrats. It wasn’t the only issue Republicans had a significant advantage on, either, but the economy tends to be one of the most, if not the most important issue that tips an election one way or another. And as bad as things look for Joe Biden and the Democrats now, next year could be even worse. According to a Fox Business report,

Kathy Hochul sniping at Presidentish Joe Biden last week. Just a couple of days ago, in Chicago, residents of the West Side’s Galewood neighborhood were “livid” over plans to house illegals there. None of that is anything compared to today’s news that the White House just hit the panic button so hard that it almost made me spill my martini. I’m kidding, of course —

To me, this story sums up the entire Biden presidency: take something simple and screw it up. For most people, a dog in the household brings joy and unconditional love and also gives the owner a responsibility to make sure the canine is cared for and healthy. But Joe Biden can’t even seem to get that right, as his dog Commander has a fondness for biting people—and as my colleague Jeff Charles reported in September, he has a special taste for Secret Service agents. He has chomped on them at least 12 times since 2021, and now he’s been caught on camera:

Tampa, Fla., has an overwhelming homeless population. The city would like to believe only 2,040 of its residents are “experiencing homelessness,” but the numbers don’t add up, considering that 11 years ago the estimate was 16,000. But then again, back in 2012, the GOP held its national convention in Tampa, so it was in the left’s best interest to get the highest number possible for the local homeless. Look at the greedy Republicans coming into the land of the downtrodden, spending their dirty oil money on luxury hotels and restaurants, and then leaving without so much as even looking at the real Tampa. Did the media say that exactly?

In September, I wrote “Bombs, Rockets and Torture Cells: The EU is an Islamic Narco-State“. While the media harps on gun ownership in the United States, Muslim gangs in Sweden have taken to throwing hand-grenades and home-brewed explosives at each other. While the Muslim gang members still shoot at each other, they also like hurling explosives at apartment buildings. At the end of August, there were four blasts in one hour at different buildings in Gothenburg where 10% of the country’s Muslim settler population lives. Unlike Belgium and the Netherlands, Sweden’s gangs and their weapons come from the shattered remnants of the former Yugoslavia: Bosnians and Albanians brought as refugees formed gangs

The study might begin by surveying a particular musical instrument — let us say the French horn. It would examine its shape, its parts, its constituent metals, and the acoustics involved in producing the music that emanates from it. How far would such a study get in its mission

According to prosecutors, Bankman-Fried commingled funds between FTX, where he was CEO, and Alameda Research, a hedge fund he also controlled. Once the fishy financials became public late last year, customers and investors rushed to take their money out of the failing exchange and FTX's proprietary cryptocurrency token lost much of its value.

Donald Trump is not a great man.

Humility is not part of his vocabulary and words mean something, especially when they reflect character. In the latest "indictment" of Trump's virulent rhetoric, his former chief of staff, John Kelly, issued a statement in which he says he witnessed Trump insulting wounded veterans and others.

Rep. Matt Gaetz, Florida Republican and psycho killer, led the smallest caucus in Congress this week across the aisle and into the lap of Democrats. He and his Suicide Caucus joined 208 Democrats to remove former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy from his post. What a day that was. So much for the so-called Hastert Rule that the Suicide Caucus claims to treasure so dearly. Requiring support from a majority of Republicans for floor action apparently applies only to Mr. McCarthy. Such slippery people. Annihilating the Hastert Rule is, you might say, the ultimate RINO move. These people are into making flippy-floppy, and doing it far, far, far better.

Infections are also at their highest level in the city for this time of year in more than a decade, raising concerns the disease could spill into other areas of the country.
