  1. And now the Press Office is at odds with the Stenographer’s Office over a revealing over-reaction by Biden about a joke not told by Trump, which met widespread disapproval and boos from the rally goers.
  2. He could appoint Eric to sit at the desk while he calls the shots from the golf course.
  3. His next claim may be FDR got us out of the depression.
  4. Deficit spending and gov’t hiring is smoke screening the GDP. Manufacturing and productivity, labor participation rates, tell a different story.
  5. I should ignore my own eyes and accept that the numbers I’ve seen are made up? The numbers that are made up are the 2.3 and 4.3. It’s been pointed out that if the calculations included the same inputs as in the 1970s the Biden/harris numbers are as bad, or worse, than Carter’s. So, crony capitalism is good if you can get in on it. Who knew?
  6. You can stand on your head, burger that was $3.99 pre-inflation is now $6.99.
  7. Because from taxes to regulations, they make it more difficult and more expensive to do commerce.
  8. In the Supreme Court Trump had almost as many 9-0 wins as Olbama/Biden had 9-0 losses.
  9. There’s another chart that it says is too large to post that shows that non-farm job openings have been in steady decline for the past two+ years. You can see it here: https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2024/10/the-daily-chart-about-that-growth.php
  10. What bubble do you live in that you don’t realize that laws have been made up to charge the most investigated man in history, Donald Trump. The latest story has a whistleblower claiming that James Comey began an off the books investigation before the Crossfire Hurricane that we know about. Even though the numbers you mentioned make it sound like things are improving, that’s only if compared to Biden’s earlier numbers. Inflation is still higher than at any time under Trump, prices are still going up, and the ones presented don’t include the prices of things most people spend most of their money on. The jobs numbers get skewed by the fact that many of them indicate that people are taking second and third jobs to get by, and the massive hiring by the government, which elevates the GDP. Manufacturing is down, productivity is down, economists are warning that the bond markets are indicating a looming recession. If you think tariffs are bad, how do you reconcile with the Biden/harris administration keeping virtually all the Trump tariffs and adding a few of their own? In short:
  11. If you read, you learn that the current administration is aiding the EU in actions that are, so far, prevented here, only by the Constitution and the current Supreme Court.
  12. If only there were some way to verify the ballots were cast by citizens.
  13. Yes. That’s exactly what Bush, McCain, and Greenspan were warning about. Schumer, Frank, and the media were screaming that they were being racist.
  14. I’m against a lot more than just late term abortions. I’m also against putting puppies in burlap sacks and throwing them in the river.
