Economy Is Really Wonderful

As polls show Joe Biden’s re-election is in peril because of the public’s negative opinion of how he’s handled the economy, TV viewers woke up Friday morning to a round of happy talk telling them that, despite what they might think, the economy is really quite spectacular. “The economy is in solid shape. Job growth is steady and inflation is cooling,” ABC’s Elizabeth Schulze exclaimed on Good Morning America. Over on Today, NBC’s Tom Costello cheered that travel will be cheaper this Christmas: “Gas prices now below $3 a gallon in more than 20 states,

Reelecting Biden is not so much supporting him or favoring the policies he is pushing as it is a demonstration of power. Like all totalitarians, the bigger the lie they can sell to the masses the greater the validation of their authority.

Oh…. And there is no affordable housing crisis anywhere in the United States! The 20 million new fecund “immigrants “ have found habitation without raising the availability and cost of housing for the established population including the already homeless Americans in virtually every major city and the elderly who live on their Social Security payments and their life savings which diminishing rapidly in purchase power because of government spending on wars around the globe.

NPR is doing the very same thing, ironically enough after I just got done doing some grocery shopping after work. I had picked up a few things that I knew we needed at WalMart, paid for them at the self checkout and went out to my car. As I was driving home it suddenly struck me what I had paid for the small bag of items and thought "There must be some mistake, it had cost nearly double what I had paid a while back". I went back to the store with my receipt and checked the prices and confirmed that the price hikes were real. Then I got to listen to NPR tell me how great and wonderful Joe Bribeme's economy is all the way home.

Food costs way more and you get less. Gas prices are just a smokescreen. All "hard" goods have increased in price significantly too. The washer (Speed Queen) we bought for $1000 five years ago is now almost $1300.

Every time I got to the grocery store, I know they're slinging BS. Houses in my area (even costing seven figures) used to sell in days, now they're sitting on the market for months. Even the "modestly priced" are languishing for months.

Democrats do this all the time. They come into office and spend a ridiculous gazillion dollars. Next year they spend a bit less than a ridiculous gazillion dollars....and then shout out that they are 'cutting the deficit.' Smart people see the scam, but the moronic left media laps it up, because, as democrats, they don't know any better. And, they want more of the same.

Inflation is an accumulative tax. Each month's rise is added to all the others and it never goes down. That is why my groceries are 20% more than they were when Trump was in office. Beef roast is $8 a pound compared to $4 a pound. Try feeding a family of 5 a nice "Sunday dinner" at that price. I do not begrudge people their money if it was made honestly. But the cost of a beef roast never enters their mind. Eating out once a week for fun is no longer possible and take out pizza, forget that. When you are working for grocery money and the ability to pay utilities you are not pumping money into the stock market no matter how well it is doing. Or think it is cute that FJB wants to save the world and offers you a cheap $60,000 car with all their flaws or roasted bugs for your tacos. Paycheck to paycheck means just what it implies. If you have money you can ride out almost any situation. Most of us are not in that category. Hopefully we are living in a decent place and can feed our families and pay our bills. But there are no extras. Inflation is robbing the average family of $11,000 a year. No, things are not better and improving. There are dozens of problems in this country that are not being addressed. And if FJB and his minions think they can shuck and jive dance around the issues they are wrong. We are in the trenches, we know the truth. We know that lying is their strong suit.

NBC News came under fire on social media over a "ridiculous" headline that seemed to fault "conservative news outlets" for reporting that a Democrat Senate staffer filmed a gay sex video in a Capitol Hill hearing room. The report came after the Daily Caller published an amateur pornographic video Friday that showed an alleged congressional staffer engaging in sex with another man in Hart Senate Office Building room 216. According to the Daily Caller, the video was leaked after being "shared in a private group for gay men in politics." Posts on social media claimed the alleged staffer worked for Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md.

Tight security that surrounds President Biden was breached in spectacular fashion on Sunday night after a car collided with part of the presidential parked motorcade in Wilmington, Delaware. Secret Service agents drew their weapons on a black driver as the vehicle appeared to ram into an SUV that had closed down a street while Biden attended a nearby campaign event. The president and the First Lady had just emerged from the Biden-Harris 2024 headquarters in downtown Wilmington just after 8pm.

In her latest video, New York Attorney General Letitia James admitted her guilt in compromising former President Donald Trump’s right to due process. This comes after she claimed that Judge Arthur Engoron had found Trump guilty of “significant financial fraud” even before the current trial began.

She accused Trump of inflating his assets and defrauding lenders and insurance companies. Last month, The Gateway Pundit reported that a Deutsche Bank executive

The US Army is facing a TikTok mutiny as Gen Z recruits are taking to social media to whine about low pay, 'sh***y' food and fitness tests. The brazen posts - by uniformed troops on US bases - represent an audacious challenge to top brass amid a recruitment crisis. The Army fell short of its target by 25 percent last year.

Donald Trump Jr. said the congressional staffer who filmed a gay porn video in a Senate office building is proving that the Democratic party thinks they are 'beyond reproach' because there is no one to 'countermeasure to this insanity.' The ex-president's eldest son also lamented to a conservative crowd in Phoenix, Arizona on Sunday about Hunter Biden refusing to comply with a congressional subpoena last week. The two instances last week were proof for Don Jr. that Democrats are increasingly exhibiting 'insanity' and, in seeming to advocate for his father's reelection, said that 'decency is on the ballot' for the 2024 presidential election.

DeSantis is trailing Trump for second place in the primary race by several dozen points – with the ex-president leading the rest of the field with usually around half of the support from voters.

The Democrats’ march to Year Zero continues apace with the Biden regime’s proposed removal of a Civil War Memorial that marks the grave of the memorial’s Jewish sculptor who is buried at its base. The memorial’s removal would also necessarily desecrate the graves of numerous Confederate soldiers buried nearby. The memorial is intended to celebrate the post-war reconciliation of the North and South, a celebration of unity that apparently rankles Democrats and their rabid desire for division and destruction.
