Bidenflation Sucks Slightly Less Than
Expected, Left Dons Party Hats
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 6/12/2024 1:27:30 PM
The good news is that inflation came in a massive 0.1% under consensus expectations, and the bad news is pretty much everything else. Before we get to "pretty much everything else," let's look at the headline numbers that the State Media is using today to assure you that "All is well, comrades." "The Consumer Price Index (CPI) remained flat over the previous month and rose 3.3% over the prior year in May," Yahoo Finance reported early Wednesday. That's a slight "deceleration from April's 0.3% month-over-month increase and 3.4% annual gain in prices." Both measures beat expectations by that whopping 0.1%. The official inflation rate is still about 75% higher

You may or may not have heard of Lady Maga. He is a gay drag performer who is also a conservative. I met Lady Maga (AKA: Ryan Woods) at the 2022 Utah Republican nominating convention. As a veteran of these gatherings, I can honestly say that Ryan was the most interesting person I have ever encountered at a GOP convention, which may not be saying much since if you have met one Utah Republican, you have pretty much met them all.

Polling has forced the far-left Politico to admit Her Vice Fraudulency Kamala Harris is “facing serious doubts about her ability to win the presidency herself, or to perform the job well were she to inherit it.”
In other words, Kamala is a no-go to replace Joe Biden, who is crumbling before America’s eyes, both in the polls and mentally.
A Politico/Morning Consult poll shows that only “a third of voters think it’s likely Harris would win an election were she to become the Democratic nominee[.]” Among Democrats, only “three of five” believe she would win, while only a quarter of Independents say the same.
On Tuesday, my colleague Jim Thompson dissected the latest media hit piece against Samuel Alito, which came courtesy of Rolling Stone magazine in a story that tried to (falsely) portray the conservative Supreme Court Justice as a far-right extremist whose goal is to turn the U.S into a theocracy.
For those who missed it, the article centered around secret audio recordings from far-left activist/filmmaker Lauren Windsor, an ActBlue fundraiser who obtained them under false pretenses by misrepresenting herself as a Christian conservative during the Supreme Court Historical Society’s annual dinner, which was on June 3rd.

Venezuelan Gang ‘Tren de Aragua’ Crime
Wave into U.S. 7 replies
American law enforcement agencies across the country are investigating at least 100 crimes perpetrated by suspected members of the vicious Venezuelan street gang named the Tren de Aragua.
But most of these criminals are slipping into the U.S. because the Border Patrol is not stopping them ahead of time, and when they do stop them, by Biden’s orders they are simply releasing them within hours to go on their way into the U.S. [Video]
The number of Venezuelan gang members crossing the border unvetted by the Biden Department of Homeland Security is soaring and once here, officials say they are committing a series of crimes including murder and sex-trafficking.
A far-left organization in New York City that has been at the forefront of anti-Israel protests has vowed to “shut down DC” when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrives to speak before Congress.
Netanyahu will be speaking before a joint meeting of Congress on July 24. The People’s Forum wrote in a post on X on Wednesday that the group would be shutting down Washington, DC, when Netanyahu arrives and would “issue a notice of a citizen’s arrest.”
“The people charge Benjamin Netanyahu with genocide,” the group wrote. “When the car criminal comes to Washington DC on July 24, we will SHUT DOWN DC and issue a notice of a citizen’s arrest.”
A new congressional report has uncovered disturbing details about a research project conducted at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), led by Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Daily Mail reported.
The investigation, spanning over 18 months, revealed a pattern of obstruction and misinformation by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the NIH, and NIAID regarding the transfer of genes between different strains of the Monkeypox virus. (Snip) According to the report, spearheaded by the Republican members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, NIAID scientists were found to have transferred genes between different clades of the Monkeypox virus, potentially enhancing its lethality and transmissibility.
By now, all of America is aware that Hunter Biden was found guilty on Tuesday by a jury of his peers on the three federal felony charges he faced, including lying to a federally licensed firearms dealer and illegally possessing a firearm while on narcotics.
Yeah, so what comes next?
Joe Biden's wayward son faces a maximum of 25 years in prison, but the federal sentencing guideline for illegally possessing a firearm, Hunter's most serious offense, is 15-21 months, although most offenders get less time. Moreover, as a first-time offender convicted of a non-violent (gun crime) crime, he could also avoid jail time altogether.
I'm going to address a topic that I've danced around in some of my posts over the past couple of months, but now I feel it's just time to come straight out and ask the question directly because I feel the writing is definitely on the wall. I don't think that rational, well-meaning people can continue to ignore the evidence of the stories that we have seen since January 20th, 2021 when Joe Biden assumed the office of the presidency.
That simple question is this: When do you, the reader, expect a terrorist incident to occur this year — before the November election or after?
No, lawfare and the efforts targeting former President Donald Trump aren't political.
No siree, Bob.
In a pig's eye, they aren't.
As we reported, the New Jersey Attorney General Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control was looking into whether the guilty verdict in Trump's Manhattan trial would "make him ineligible to hold liquor licenses at his three New Jersey golf courses."
"ABC is reviewing the impact of President Trump's conviction on the above referenced licenses, and declines further comment at this time," Attorney General Matthew Platkin's office said to Fox News.
"No license of any class shall be issued to any person under the age of 18 years
Will “Lia” Thomas, the male swimmer who thinks he’s a woman, will not be able to rob women of awards in the Olympics.
In January, Townhall reported how Thomas was engaged in a “secret” legal battle in hopes of overturning a rule established by World Aquatics prohibiting males who think they’re “transgender” from competing against women.
This week, the Associated Press broke that Thomas lost the legal challenge.
Reportedly, the Court of Arbitration for Sport three-judge panel dismissed Thomas’ request or arbitration with the World Aquatics governing body (via AP):
World Aquatics banned transgender women who have been through male puberty from competing in women’s races.
Having laid relatively low in recent weeks, America's pro-terrorism contingent is back with a vengeance -- seemingly energized in opposition to Israel's successful hostage rescue mission over the weekend. Perhaps that timing is a coincidence, but I doubt it. The Hamas mob's political allies and apologists often insist that it's unfair to frame their words, chants and actions as pro-Jew-murder, or even as expressions of anti-Semitism. Well, let's check in on what just happened in New York City, where Hamas supporters protested an exhibit dedicated to the victims of the Nova music festival, where terrorists from Gaza slaughtered hundreds of innocent people.
A favorite parlor game among American political junkies in 2024 is guessing just how and when the Democrats will "help" Joe Biden make a graceful exit from the presidential race. The guy can't walk 10 feet to a podium without committing dozens of mental and physical faux pas along the way, so it isn't a stretch to think that November must seem like a century away to those who have to measure time in Biden years.
Before I launch into this, I will issue my standard Election 2024 disclaimer. I have no special powers of prognostication when it comes to politics here in the Republic;

President Joe Biden reportedly believes Hunter Biden is a victim of the weaponization of justice following his gun conviction on Tuesday.
A Delaware jury found Hunter guilty of all three gun charges. He faces up to 25 years in prison and $750,000 in fines.

Banning Puberty Blockers, Hormone Treatments

A federal judge on Tuesday overturned parts of Florida’s law restricting the use of “gender-affirming care” on children. The judge declared multiple statutes related to puberty blockers, hormone treatments, and surgeries to be unconstitutional.
The law was aimed at preventing medical facilities from prescribing irreversible “gender-affirming” treatments to young children. Several studies have shown these treatments to be not only ineffective but harmful to minors suffering from gender dysphoria. Nevertheless, the judge struck down the measure.

a Pay Raise Despite Spending Seven Times

The Biden Administration is facing intense criticism after shooting down a proposal to give U.S. military troops a pay raise.
The House Armed Services Committee’s (HASC) draft of the 2025 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) proposed a $24 billion pay raise to enlisted U.S. service members. However, the Biden Administration said that it “strongly opposes” approving such a “significant” and “permanent” pay raise, citing budgetary constraints. On the contrary, the Democratic administration recently just approved spending nearly seven times the amount to fund Ukraine’s ongoing war with Russia.
An internal memo from the 24 Hour Fitness Center labels Black Lives Matter and Pride Symbols “freedom of expression” while banning patriotic items like the American flag, except for holidays.
In the letter obtained by Libs Of TikTok, it informs employees that the fitness company is committed to “creating a more inclusive environment” before it details what is and is not allowed.
The memo said it encourages employees to “bring their full selves to work everyday” and then lists that “team members” can wear apparel that shows their “solidarity and support” for the following movements.
“Black Lives Matter/BLM words.”
“‘Pride’ and or pride rainbow logo.”
“Juneteenth logo, symbol or date on Juneteenth (June 19).”
On June 12, the Massachusetts House is expected to vote on a bill that would allow mothers to exchange their children for money—that is, engage in baby-selling—under the name of “parentage equality.”
The “Parentage Equality” bill seeks to redefine parenthood. Parenthood is recognized on its natural biological basis, or in cases of adoption, justice for a child who has suffered loss by providing them with a safe, loving home. This bill redefines it on the basis of a “person’s intent to be a parent of a child.” In doing so, it strips all mention of mothers and fathers from parentage law, replacing these vital familial roles with gender-erased language.
It used to be that the rich and powerful were exempt from the everyday woes middle-class citizens experienced at the hands of poor Democratic leadership. But at some point, things get so bad that it even reaches those at the top.
Goldie Hawn recently confessed that she and Kurt Russell's home had been invaded twice in the last four months, once even while she was in the home. She described the disturbing situation during an interview on SiriusXM's "Let's Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa."
The first time took an emotional toll on her. She and Kurt had gone out for dinner and when they returned, they found the home ransacked:

The Bidens are traveling to Italy on taxpayer dime while Americans struggle to make ends meet.
The Daily Mail reported:
All of Hunter Biden’s adult children are joining President Joe Biden on his trip to Italy to meet with G7 leaders, one day after their father was convicted on federal gun charges.
Finnegan Biden, 23, who is Hunter’s middle daughter, boarded Marine One with the president early Wednesday morning as he departed Delaware after rushing home to Wilmington
Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) said Tuesday on CBS’s “The Late Show” that he did not trust former President Donald Trump’s appointed federal judges.
Host Stephen Colbert said, “Let’s talk about the Supreme Court for a second. One of the things that people are speculation is that something is foundational to the modern American view of equality, Brown v.Board of Education could fall under the Supreme Court. Is that alarmist? Or would you not put this past them?” Booker said, “Take Donald Trump at his word and listen to people, what they say to you. I’ve been on the Judiciary Committee now for years and I was stunned
In celebrating 12 years since former President Barack Obama created the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) said DACA illegal aliens are “the future of our country.”[Snip] Despite President Joe Biden’s growing the American labor market almost exclusively with foreign workers, Durbin said more foreign workers are needed to fill American jobs.[Snip]Durbin urged lawmakers to pass his DREAM Act amnesty legislation that would offer green cards and, eventually, naturalized American citizenship to most of the 11 to 22 million illegal aliens living throughout the United States.
Very few supporters of President Joe Biden believe prioritizing marriage and having children is beneficial for society, polling from the Pew Research Center found.
Only 19 percent of Biden voters say that “society is better off if people make marriage and having children a priority,” compared to 59 percent of former President Donald Trump supporters and 39 percent of registered voters overall. The results come amid a singleness and loneliness epidemic among young people and as the United States continues to experience the lowest birth rate in a century.
Vince Ning has a singular perspective on California’s weed industry. (snip) The number of legal cannabis growers and brands has decreased by more than 70% since legalization first went into effect, according to the Mercury News. A recent report found that pot companies owe the state more than $730 million in back taxes, money that California likely will never see as most of those companies have already folded. (snip) Estimates vary on how large the illicit market is, but the head of enforcement for the state Department of Cannabis Control recently told NPR that the illicit market is “definitely larger” than the legal market.
US President Joe Biden awkwardly saluted Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni as he arrived at the G7 summit in Italy on Thursday.
Biden, 81, was the last of the world leaders to arrive at the venue in southern Puglia as he shuffled onto the stage where Meloni was waiting. The two spoke for a few moments before Meloni pointed towards a frame of the G7 logo, which each leader in attendance signed with a marker. As he began his walk off the platform, Biden raised his right arm over his eye and saluted his Italian counterpart.
