Big conflict of interest here. Time to step down.

Jake Sullivan’s wife oversees Durham probe…

And Jake is named in investigation.
“The Justice Department’s standing guidance calls for employees to avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest, especially when it comes to ongoing criminal investigations,” said Grassley.

“It’s in Garland’s best interest—and he’s obligated—to be transparent about whether his department is walling off officials who have a real or even perceived conflict, just as prior administrations have done.”
Democrat Communists usually do not care about this, so I doubt that she will recuse herself.

Misery Index: New Numbers Show Biden's Economy Continues to Hit Americans in the Wallet

News gets worse for Americans, and they see it every day.
Each month economists attempt to gauge how average Americans are weathering the ups and downs of the U.S. economy. By using the simple yet clever technique of adding the U.S. unemployment rate (4.20%) to the current rate of U.S. inflation (6.81%), economists attempt to quantify the economic well-being of the country into a Misery Index.

The current U.S. Misery Index stands at 11.01%.

Misery Index highest since 1984. 1984? There are no conspiracies, but there are no coincidences.

Solyndra 2.0? Biden Megadonor Gets $500 Million Loan to Build Solar Company in India
The loan to First Solar is the “largest single debt financing transaction” issued by the DFC, the agency announced this week. The DFC said the investment in the India project will “promote DFC’s commitment to diversifying supply chains,” following demands from lawmakers that the agency avoid funding any solar projects connected to forced labor in China.

Ethics watchdogs said the loan raises questions about whether First Solar’s political connections played a role in the DFC’s decision. The federal financing agency, which was formerly known as the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, has faced criticism in the past for funding projects linked to political donors. The loan also comes nine years after the Obama administration came under fire for approving $3 billion in loan guarantees to the same company—funding that Republican lawmakers alleged the company wasn’t qualified to receive.
Nothing to see here because it is Joebama. Anything he does is okie dokie.

MAGAnomics vs JoeBamanomics, a Simple to Understand Graphic
When wages (blue line) are above inflation (red line) our income is growing, life is good and the working class has more disposable income to enjoy life. However, when wages (blue line) are lower than inflation (red line) our income is shrinking, life is a struggle and the working class has less disposable income to enjoy life.

Pictures always bring great clarity to those who struggle with words. WAGES BLUE. INFLATION RED.

Biden Warns of Autocracy One Day After He Promised to Veto Democratic Vote to Remove His Unilateral Vaccine Mandate
Image
I’m only posting this brief video from Joe Biden’s statement yesterday as yet another example of how ideological Democrats espouse support for democracy yet take action to nullify democracy they don’t like.

When the majority of American people articulate positions leftists support, democrats call that democracy. However, when the majority of American people articulate positions that leftists do not support, democrats call that extremism.

When questioned about what Joe Biden would do if the Senate passed legislation to remove his vaccine mandate passes the house of representatives, the White House said Thursday Biden would veto the bill and ignore it. Less than 24 hours later, Joe Biden was warning his audience about autocrats undermining democracy.

Nobody, and I mean n.o.b.o.d.y, ever calls out these people, specifically Democrats in leadership like Joe Biden for this hypocrisy.

Americans Continue to Sour on Biden's Handling of All Sorts of Issues
Another week, another poll showing Biden’s approval ratings in the tank.

This time, it’s an ABC/Ipsos poll that shows just how much Americans are souring on Biden’s handling of all sorts of issues.

What shouldn’t be surprising is that the issue where approval ratings are plummeting the fastest is inflation.

More than two-thirds of Americans (69%) disapprove of how Biden is handling inflation (only 28% approve) while more than half (57%) disapprove of his handling of the economic recovery.

And it’s not just not Republicans who think that the president is fumbling this economy. His own party is starting to turn against him, while independents aren’t crazy about how the administration is approaching inflation.

Partisan splits for inflation show expected negativity in Republican views (94% disapproving), but the survey also reveals weaknesses from Biden’s own party with only a slim majority of Democrats (54%) approving. Biden’s orbit is also hemorrhaging independent voters, with 71% disapproving of his handling of inflation.

It’s also worth noting that inflation is the issue that weighs most on voters’ minds, more than the pandemic, which dominated debate for over a year.

Those surveyed also demonstrated their lack of enthusiasm for the president when it comes to crime, violence, and urban unrest.
No good news for Americans anywhere, and they see it with their own eyes.

When the powers that be wanted to scare America into COVID submission, they counted every related death as a COVID death whether COVID was the cause or not. Now with the vaccine, the powers that be want Americans to feel safe taking the vaccine, so they don’t count a death related to the vaccine unless someone dies two weeks or more after taking the vaccine.

It’s clear, the ‘powers that be’ are manipulating data to overcount COVID deaths and undercount Vaccine deaths.

Panic? US Mega-Corporations Rush To Abandon Vax Mandate
This week’s nationwide annihilation of Biden’s Federal Contractor vaccine mandate at the hands Georgia Federal Judge R. Stan Baker has resulted in a landslide retreat of cowardly mega-corporations from their so-confident bullying of American workers.

Biden’s illegal gamble, the nationwide Federal contractor vaccine mandate, has like his previous Medicare mandate and OSHA if-you-have-100-workers-mandatory-vax mandate been ripped to shreds early on in the courts.

Biden’s mandates have always been a bullying gamble, an admission that they knew they were engaging in illegal acts but that they would continue to use the not-insignificant weapons of the executive branch to blast as much harm as possible until the courts stepped in and noted the obvious: “You can’t do this!”
The courts do not seem to like Joebama so much.

To help ease the financial burden during the coronavirus pandemic, FEMA is providing up to $9,000 reimbursement for funeral expenses related to COVID-19.

So, hospitals get an extra $13,000 if they diagnose a death as COVID-19,” a widely shared meme on Facebook claimed. “And an additional $39,000 if they use a ventilator!

We Broke Everything In The Name Of COVID

A virus with a 98% survival rate.
And what is President Asterisk doing in response? He’s imposing vaccine mandates, extending unemployment benefits, waging a war on fossil fuels, expanding the regulatory state, spending like a drunken sailor (apologies to drunken sailors), and pursuing increased taxation. He isn’t nursing the engine back up to speed. He’s doing everything possible to throw gravel into the gears — just like the gremlin he is.

Once again, we are being undone by our own hubris. We thought we could tinker with a system of such unimaginable complexity that we don’t understand it — with no negative consequences. We arrogantly thought we could command the world to run as we desired. Now we’re getting a firsthand lesson about the inevitable downfall of hubris. Our hubris is being met by Nemesis — the Greek goddess of consequences.

Our engine of commerce will eventually come back to speed. But only after Nemesis has treated us to a few years of bitter learning.
Thanks, Joebama.

Byron York's Daily Memo: The true cost of Biden's agenda

Joebama has been lying to Americans all along.
Biden has claimed, falsely, that the bill is "fully paid for." But last month, the Congressional Budget Office released an analysis saying BBB would add $367 billion to the deficit over the next 10 years. So much for "fully paid for."

But it's much, much worse than that. According to a new assessment from the CBO, the cost of the bill under real-world conditions — the way Democrats hope to administer it — will add not $367 billion to the deficit but $3 trillion. That's more than eight times the deficit spending Democrats are citing.

Here's how it works. In order to keep the costs of the bill down, Democrats have inserted a lot of "sunsets" in it — that is, arbitrary dates on which provisions would end. For example, the centerpiece of Build Back Better is the child tax credit, a program under which the government sends monthly checks to families with children, with no requirement that recipients work, or look for work, or anything. It is a new dole, and it has long been a goal of some Democratic policymakers. Democrats want to make it a permanent feature of American life.

This year, passing the enormous COVID relief bill, Democrats inserted the child tax credit — but only for a year. Now, there was no way in the world that Democrats believed the country should have a child tax credit for just one year. No, the idea was to pass the bill, get the policy into law, and then renew it year after year. After all, what heartless lawmaker would want to take sustenance and support from children? At this moment, the child tax credit is scheduled to expire on Dec. 31, and Democrats are working frantically to extend it. "It's as important a thing as there is in the Build Back Better bill, and to me, it was the most important thing we did in calendar 2021," Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown said recently .

BBB would extend the child tax credit, but only until the end of 2022. As a "temporary" measure, the CBO said it would add $185 billion to the deficit. Estimating its cost for just one year keeps the stated overall cost of the bill down. But guess what will happen at the end of 2022? Democrats will say it is absolutely necessary that the child tax credit be extended. And the cost will go up.

So Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham and Rep. Jason Smith recently asked the CBO: What would provisions of the bill add to the deficit if they were extended for ten years, as Democrats originally intended? For the child tax credit, the added deficit goes from $185 billion to $1.597 trillion — a huge increase. That's the real cost of just one part of the Build Back Better bill.
Socialism full bore in America if this crap passes. Today, Democrat Joe Manchin stands in the way. His Republican voters in West Virginia are bringing the heat.

Democrat Rep Rips Infighting: ‘I Got More S**t’ From Her Party
A Democratic congresswoman from New York ripped her party’s infighting in a statement published on Sunday, the latest sign of increased frustration as President Biden’s agenda stalls and his and Vice President Harris’ approval ratings tank.

Rep. Kathleen Rice’s remarks were part of a CNN Politics report saying that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is planning on remaining speaker through at least the 2022 elections and perhaps beyond. Her comments were aimed at addressing pressure placed on the party to pass two recent pieces of legislation: The infrastructure bill and Biden’s “Build Back Better” measure.

“We can keep saying our diversity is our power — but guess what? I got more s**t from my fellow Democratic colleagues over the past months than I did from the Republicans,” Rice told the news outlet.
Democrat Communists know that if they do not cram all their spending down the throats of Americans now, their power will all end in 2022.

VIDEO: Trashed UN Pamphlets Found In Mexico Tell Illegal Immigrants How To Get Refugee Status In America

It is no surprise that the corrupt United Nations is undermining the sovereignty and borders of the United States.
Lyman explained that the packets contained Spanish-language pamphlets and materials from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the Mexican government, and other governmental, international, or non governmental organizations aimed at helping would-be refugees enter the United States.

He added that most migrants do not fit the United States’ definition of a refugee, thus making the documents useless except to to those seeking to illegally enter the United States under false pretenses.

“It was shocking, they’re coached, they’re well funded, they’re well organized.” He added, “It does raise the question, what is going on? Why are they here? What are they doing?”

Commerce Secretary’s Husband Is Top Executive at Tech Firm Funded by Chinese Government
A venture capital firm backed by the Chinese government is a major investor in an artificial intelligence company that counts Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo's husband as a top executive, a potential conflict of interest as her agency works to counter China on the world stage.

Danhua Capital, based in California but established with the financial backing of the Chinese Communist Party, is one of the main funders of PathAI, an artificial intelligence firm that employs Raimondo's husband, Andy Moffit, as its chief people officer. Danhua Capital has been invested in PathAI since at least 2017, when it joined five other funders to contribute $11 million worth of seed funding for the artificial intelligence startup. It is unclear how much Danhua Capital has invested in PathAI, a private company, but the Chinese firm lists PathAI on its website as one of its featured "biotech and health" investments.


Danhua Capital was established and funded with the help of the Chinese government as part of its "penetration of Silicon Valley," according to a 2018 Reuters report on the firm. The Center for a New American Security (CNAS), a liberal think tank with former staffers now in the highest ranks of the Biden administration, testified to Congress in 2018 that Danhua Capital's mission is to use its capital to narrow the technology gap between China and the United States.

Neither Raimondo nor PathAI responded to requests for comment on Danhua Capital's investment.

Democrats’ Massive Entitlement Plans Include Banning Christians From Government Childcare
Democrats’ current proposed $3.5 trillion welfare expansion would effectively ban faithful Christians from profiting from federal subsidies for separating infants and toddlers from their families.

The current text of Democrats’ massive “Build Back Better” entitlement bill contains provisions that would require religious child-care providers to disavow longstanding theology about sex in order to receive federal child-care funds under a massive new early childhood program.

“The Democrats went out of their way to make sure and prohibit religious care providers from receiving any of these funds, and unanimously rejected an amendment to allow all child-care providers to be eligible for grants, including religious providers,” said Rep. Jackie Walorski, R-Indiana, the ranking member on the House’s subcommittee on Worker and Family Support.

November Producer Prices Rise Record Breaking 9.6 Percent Year Over Year, Biggest Single Month in History, as Massive Inflation Builds Within The Supply Chain – Again, No Signs of Slowing Down
The final product inflation rate in July (reported in August) was alarming at 7.8%. However, we warned it would get worse. The Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) then released stunning price data for October [DATA Here], showing an even more dramatic 8.6% price increase in final demand. More intense warnings shared.

Today, we get the November BLS Result [DATA Here], and unfortunately the results are showing what was expected. The cumulative costs of massive increases in energy prices are building into the supply at an astonishing rate. The November data shows a rate of wholesale final goods inflation at 9.6%, the largest single month comparative rate increase in history.

The bureau even went back and revised/increased the August price index from 7.8 to 8.4 percent, and revised/increased the October figure from 8.6 to 8.8 percent. The average monthly price increase is almost a full percent… every month. It looks like the BLS backward revisions are an attempt to smooth down the rate of increase.
The Democrat Communists keep lying about it, but Americans see it happening all around them.

Dr. Scott Atlas had a front-row seat at the White House as a member of President Donald Trump’s Coronavirus Task Force. Now, he’s telling all in a new book, “A Plague Upon Our House: My Fight at the Trump White House to Stop COVID from Destroying America.”

“The American people need to know the level of incompetence, the lack of rigor, the lack of critical thinking. I was stunned at what I saw,” Atlas says of his time at the White House. “We had bureaucrats in charge of the policy and that policy was the restrictions and lockdowns. And it failed.”

Atlas blames three public health officials: Dr. Deborah Birx, White House coronavirus response coordinator; Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases; and Dr. Robert Redfield, former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

U.S. court rejects bid to end Trump-era 'Remain in Mexico' border policy

The courts do not like Joebama much. That is a good thing.
NEW YORK, Dec 13 (Reuters) - A U.S. appeals court on Monday rejected a renewed attempt by the Biden administration to end a policy put in place by former President Donald Trump that forced tens of thousands of migrants to wait in Mexico for the resolution of their U.S. asylum cases.

President Joe Biden, a Democrat, scrapped his Republican predecessor's policy - often referred to as "Remain in Mexico" - soon after taking office in January this year. But after Texas and Missouri sued over the rescission, a federal judge ruled it had to be reinstated.

Under the 2019 policy, officially called the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), migrants seeking asylum must wait weeks and sometimes years in Mexico for a U.S. court date instead of being allowed to await their hearings in the United States. Biden decried the policy on the campaign trail and immigration advocates have said migrants stuck in dangerous border cities have faced kidnappings and other dangers.

Larry Summers, Treasury secretary under Bill Clinton and chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors under Barack Obama, had been on Joe Biden’s case about inflation long before the CPI began to skyrocket.

As far back as the passage of the first pandemic relief bill in February, Summers was sounding the alarm about the Biden administration’s spending causing inflation. In October, he argued that the country is “in more danger” than it was during his career “of losing control of inflation in the U.S.”

He also complained about the Fed managers who were more concerned about being “woke” than fighting inflation. “They’re defining themselves by how socially concerned they are,” he said at a virtual conference of bankers in November.

National Debt Now $287,859 Per Household As Congress Raises Debt Ceiling
“Back in 1989, the year that President Ronald Reagan left office, there were 89,178,355 income-tax-paying households in the United States, according to the IRS. At the end of January that year, the federal debt was $2,697,957,000,000,” the report revealed. “That means the federal debt then equaled approximately $30,253 per income-tax-paying household.”

Even adjusted for inflation, the amount would only equal $69,437 per household. “In real terms, the current federal debt of $287,859 per income-tax-paying household is more than four times that much.”

EUREKA, Someone Finally Points Out The Obvious
CNBC’s Steve Liesman points out what all the financial pundits keep ignoring.

The price of raw material at origination is still climbing…. which means the prices of intermediate manufacturing goods will keep climbing… which means the prices of finished goods (to wholesalers) will keep climbing….. which means consumer prices will keep climbing.

♦Here’s the kicker. The rate of raw material price increases are still higher than the rate of intermediate price increases, which are still higher than the rate of price increases in finished goods, which are still higher than the rate of price increases in consumer goods (retail).

As long as the rate of price increase for raw material, the very first step in the supply chain, remains higher than the rate of the price increase for the next step in the process, then you can guarantee future prices will go up. It’s a simple and commonsense way to look forward when evaluating inflation.

If the stuff starts at a higher price (day one), the end product at day 90 will be at a higher price than today. This is how you can tell that inflation is not slowing down. The first sign of inflation easing is when the rate of inflation for raw material is lower than the rate of inflation in the next step.




THERE IS NO SIGN THAT INFLATION IS EASING. Thanks, Joebama.

Lower Than Expected November Retail Sales Shows Inflation Impact and Reduction in Consumer Spending
The Commerce Department November retail sales data was release today [DATA HERE] – [DETAIL pdf HERE]. The top line issue is a shocking drop in retail sales for November in key categories that align with previous discussion of inflation spending priorities for all U.S. consumers.

Before getting to the data, one point is critical to remember. The commerce department sales figures are based on dollars spent. This point is important, because the items being purchased have inflation within them. When prices are higher due to inflation, sales figures should be higher due to higher prices. Ex. If there is an 8% increase in retail price, but only a 4% increase in retail sales, that means less stuff is being sold. [Less units sold at a higher price gives the illusion of an increase in sales.]

Despite the start of the traditional holiday sales and shopping period, the total sales growth in November was 0.3% over October [Column A]. Factoring in inflation during the same month to month comparison at 0.9%, you can tell that overall in November there was a drop in units sold across the total of retail sales outlets.

Democrat support from independent voters has fallen near the crucial 40% line, while almost half of all independent voters tell Gallup that they’re leaning Republican.

“If you’re a Democrat and you’re not terrified,” says The Dispatch’s Avi Woolf, “you should be.”

Why Is the Left Suddenly Worried About the End of Democracy?

Democrat Communists cannot spell 'Republic'.
What then is behind this new left-wing hysteria about the supposed looming end of democracy?

It is quite simple. The Left expects to lose power over the next two years — both because of the way it gained and used it, and because of its radical, top-down agendas that never had any public support.

After gaining control of both houses of Congress and the presidency — with an obsequious media and the support of Wall Street, Silicon Valley, higher education, popular culture, entertainment and professional sports — the Left has managed in just 11 months to alienate a majority of voters.

The nation has been wracked by unprecedented crime and nonenforcement of the borders. Leftist district attorneys either won’t indict criminals; they let them out of jails or both.

Illegal immigration and inflation are soaring. Deliberate cuts in gas and oil production helped spike fuel prices.

All this bad news is on top of the Afghanistan disaster, worsening racial relations, and an enfeebled president.

Democrats are running 10 points behind the Republicans in generic polls, with the midterms less than a year away.

Joe Biden’s negatives run between 50 and 57 percent — in Donald Trump’s own former underwater territory.

Less than a third of the country wants Biden to run for reelection. In many head-to-head polls, Trump now defeats Biden.

In other words, leftist elites are terrified that democracy will work too robustly.

After the Russian collusion hoax, two impeachments, the Hunter Biden laptop stories, the staged melodramas of the Kavanaugh hearings, the Jussie Smollett con, the Covington kids smear, and the Rittenhouse trial race frenzy, the people are not just worn out by leftist hysterias, but they also weary of how the Left gains power and administers it.

If Joe Biden were polling at 70 percent approval, and his policies at 60 percent, the current doomsayers would be reassuring us of the “health of the system.”

They are fearful and angry not because democracy doesn’t work, but because it does despite their own media and political efforts to warp it.

When a party is hijacked by radicals and uses almost any means necessary to gain and use power for agendas that few Americans support, then average voters express their disapproval.

That reality apparently terrifies an elite. It then claims any system that allows the people to vote against the Left is not people power at all.

Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s Presser Should Alarm Everyone on Main Street

Powell left off the most important part of the graph.

Image


Image

The 6.8% inflation rate is just about where the dot in the “j” of the word projection would be located. That’s where we are currently.

Now, do you really think that scale of inflation is going to drop in a dramatic inverted V formation to where the Fed projects it will end up next year (the little red line in the thing that looks like a battery)? Pro Tip: It won’t.

The chairman even said he anticipates “strong inflation throughout next year” into 2023.

Worse still, are his remarks leading into the segment where he talks about inflation:

(1) Powell claims the Fed “can see no signs of weakening consumer demand“. Who in the Sam-hell is he talking to, and how can they not see a drop in consumer demand?

(2) Perhaps worse, the Fed Chairman says almost nothing about the largest ever drop in productivity last quarter (-5%), and instead is only slightly worried that the drop in productivity is larger than the increase in wages (+3%). Whiskey – Tango – Foxtrot. Does this guy not have anyone on Main Street who talks to him? If I’m an employer paying three percent more and generating five percent less, what do you think I’m about to do?

NELLES: Biden Could Quickly Arrest Inflation With These Steps… If He Really Wanted To.

Joebama's destruction of the U.S. economy and the dollar is purposeful.
Three Things. Right Now.
What can be done? How do we get out of this death spiral? The answers are not that difficult. First, stop printing money and injecting it into the economy. Stimulus must stop and “Build Back Better,” must not pass Congress.

Second, people have to get back to work. The December jobs report was a disaster, with the economy adding only 210,000 jobs vs. an estimate of 573,000, per CNBC. This, at a time when there are more than 10 million open jobs in the US economy. Labor productivity simply cannot recover with this many people sitting at home, out of the workforce.

Third, DRILL, BABY, DRILL.

While the President claims that there is little he can do to reduce the price of gas, perhaps he should simply run the playbook of former President Trump and return America to energy independence, and not rely on begging OPEC nations to produce more oil. The Trump administration issued several orders that removed unnecessary regulations from energy exploration, lifted the ban on Federal leasing for coal production, gave a Presidential permit to clear roadblocks to construct the Keystone XL Pipeline, and issued a Presidential Memorandum declaring that the Dakota Access Pipeline serves the national interest and initiated the process to complete its construction. The Biden regime reversed all these policies and the price of gas has doubled.

Last, we must fix the supply chain and decongest our ports. The rate at which the supply chain can recover is directly correlated to getting people back to work. We simply do not have enough truck drivers and warehouse workers to process containers once they are unloaded from a container ship in a port. In fact, “the Port of Los Angeles has remained mostly closed between 3 AM and 8 AM, despite technically being open 24/7. There aren’t enough trucks calling on the port in those hours to make it worth it for the port’s privately owned and operated terminals to stay open around the clock,” per CNN.

Unfortunately, given the current administration’s policies, inflation is here to stay for the foreseeable future, and a recession is looming in Q3 of 2022. They want to continue to pump money into the economy, funding pet social projects that will disincentivize people from returning to work, compounding the current supply chain problems. Energy policy will continue to favor “green energy” to the detriment of fossil fuels, and the cleanest energy of all, nuclear power; which will continue to drive the price of oil up.

It is ironic that the policies of the billionaire President did more to improve the lives of America’s working poor than have the policies of “Lunch bucket Joe.”

Today’s inflation results from Democrats' deliberate policy choices
As Democratic leaders fiddle, inflation keeps burning more and more destructively. By now, they almost seem to be relishing the conflagration.

Four days after the Labor Department reported the highest retail price hikes in 39 years, at 6.8% annually, the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Dec. 14 said wholesale prices for the last year rose even faster , by 9.6%. In a sane political world, statistics this devastating to average-income people would make political leaders and central bankers act aggressively to douse the flames. Instead, President Joe Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell are all pouring turpentine into the fire.

Simple common sense, backed by long experience, teaches that in the aggregate, two main policy choices strongly tend to exacerbate inflation. The first, big federal spending combined with high deficits and debt, is a surefire way to place upward pressure on prices. The second, extremely loose monetary policy by central bankers, devalues the currency and thus causes each dollar to buy less than it formerly did.

Granted, if unemployment is high, the economy sometimes can absorb the added stimulus through job growth. But when the unemployment is low, as it is now, prices rise when lawmakers overspend and bankers keep priming the pump.

Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, and their Democratic congressional majorities don't seem to care. They keep binge spending as if drunk, while threatening to spend even more. On top of a regular federal budget of what was roughly $4 trillion just three years ago, lawmakers have approved $6.8 trillion in additional spending in just 21 months. And now, Democratic leaders are threatening to spend $4.75 trillion more in the form of Biden’s Build Back Boondoggle bill.

Powell, meanwhile, has kept the federal funds interest rate near zero for almost two years while the Fed has aggressively transacted financial-asset purchases in ways barely ever imagined and never before even remotely attempted. These policies amount to an all-out assault on the value of the dollar.

Those are all big-picture, or macroeconomic, considerations. At the more microeconomic level, specific policies can drive price hikes in individual areas of the economy. Such has been the case with Biden’s multiple policies hostile to domestic fossil-fuel production. Again, this isn’t difficult: When a president cancels energy leases, kills a major pipeline, and heavily regulates the oil and coal industries, energy supplies dwindle, and prices inevitably rise.

Sure enough, the biggest driver of today’s inflation is the price of fuels, which, of course, reverberates throughout the whole economy. As the cost of transporting goods grows, retailers must charge more for the goods themselves. Almost entirely because of Biden’s policies, energy prices as a whole were up by 33% in 12 months, with gasoline prices up a frightening 58%.

Meanwhile, when wholesale prices are rising even faster than already inflating retail prices, this means retailers are cutting their nominal markup margins for each item sold. That can’t last. Eventually, retail prices will catch up. Therefore, when Biden says inflation at the retail level has just reached a peak, that’s nonsense. The worst of inflation is yet to come.

It's time to stop the federal overspending. It’s time to stop the Fed's bizarrely loose monetary policies. It’s time to stop the madness.

If policymakers just return to what once was normal — ordinary levels of spending, interest rates that are still historically low but at least in the ordinary range — then inflation will abate.

Until then, when your family keeps paying 14% more for its daily bacon than it did a year ago, blame Powell and the Democratic lawmakers. They are the ones burning holes in your family’s budget.
Thanks, Joebama.

United Nations Grantee Uses U.S. Tax Dollars To Fund Illegal Immigration
It’s unclear just how much the United States gives IOM to sustain intending border crossers until they succeed, or how many got some during 2021. But the cash giveaways have been on a steep skyward trajectory since 2019 and only show signs of continuing upward.

The public reporting as to how much the United States, through the State Department, gives IOM and how many got it is opaque at best. President Joe Biden’s 2022 budget calls for $10 billion in humanitarian assistance “to support vulnerable people abroad.” But there’s no detailed breakout.

Biden ‘Knee Caps’ Israel – Buys Iran Time
As they say, when it comes to war – amateurs talk tactics. Professionals talk logistics. There is a great deal of talk these days about the possibility of Israel striking Iran to destroy its nuclear weapons program. Any such action, in reality, will be as much an exercise in logistics as in tactics, and Joe Biden just kneecapped any Israeli hope of being able to carry out such an attack.

The targets in Iran that would have to be hit by Israel are scattered over a wide area and are at least a thousand kilometers from the bases in Israel from which a strike would be launched. To carry out attacks of the kind necessary and on the scale contemplated would mean aerial refueling from tanker aircraft. Israel is desperately short of such planes.

To rectify that problem the Israelis recently asked the Biden administration to expedite the delivery of tanker aircraft it has on order from the United States. It seemed a reasonable enough request. We are after all talking about stopping a radical, revolutionary Islamic regime from getting nuclear weapons with which it can terrorize the entire Middle East and eventually the world.

The Biden administration said: “No.” Sorry, it will be years before we can possibly get those planes to you.” The Iranians may be only weeks away from having the bomb, but the best we can do is to deliver your order in 2024.

The sale of eight new KC-46 Pegasus aerial refueling tankers to Israel was approved by the State Department in March. Funding has already been arranged. At issue is only the precedence that will be given to the Israeli order.

This issue is not an abstraction for Israel. The Iranians are pressing ahead with the development of a nuclear weapon. Once they have in hand even a handful of such weapons, the continued existence of the Jewish state is very much in doubt.

Israel may have a highly professional military. That does not change the fact that it is a tiny, densely populated nation. A single airburst of a nuclear weapon of the size we used against Japan over Tel Aviv could easily kill a hundred thousand people and wound another two hundred thousand. A ground burst could produce fallout that would contaminate a huge portion of the landmass of the nation. Even a handful of Iranian nuclear weapons could render large portions of Israel uninhabitable.

Israel cannot accept a nuclear Iran, and it must operate under the assumption that the Iranians are deadly serious about their seemingly endless threats to wipe Israel from the map.

2. No one believed Biden would ever unify the country except the useful idiot leftists and the DEM and RINO establishment people who helped him steal the election--the other 50% of America or more KNEW that would never happen.

3. I find it ironic that the left like to say 'my body my choice' when it comes to murdering babies, but not when it comes to putting these useless poison vaccines into our body--odd...almost like they're hypocrites, oh nevermind of course they are.

4. The new left always support terrorists and this started when Obozo was in office as he created and armed ISIS, they continue to fund the predominantly Jordanian terrorists who pretend to be Palestinians from a fictional Palestine the never existed in history except for when the UK named that strip of land the Palestine Mandate after WW 1. Hence their delaying weapons and money to Israel while allowing Iran to continue their nuke research.

BIDEN WILL BUILD BACK COVID FEAR

The 2022 Election Variant is the real name of Omicron.
Image
Regardless of the actual number, the President is using the new Omicron variant to vilify the unvaccinated even more. This condemnation reached a crescendo on Thursday when Biden claimed the unvaccinated “are looking at a winter of severe illness and death.”

The problem with this type of denunciation is that it just hardens the positions of those who are unvaccinated. The resistance is not because Americans are unaware of the vaccines. The shots are continually publicized in every form of media. Americans have been offered incentives, lotteries and, most recently, threats to take the vaccine. Currently, those who are unvaccinated do not want to become vaccinated.

A much better policy would be one adopted by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. He is opposing all types of mandates and advocates wide distribution of the monoclonal antibody treatments, which have FDA approval and have shown positive results.

Unlike DeSantis, Biden focuses on vaccines and mandates and never mentions natural immunity or effective treatments.
Due to politics and certainly not science, Americans can expect a never-ending array of COVID mandates and warnings from the Biden administration for the foreseeable future.

A New Iron Curtain Descends, Thanks to Joe Biden
In a draft treaty delivered to NATO on Friday, Russia demanded an end to all significant NATO military activity in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, including in NATO member-states, regardless of the wishes of the governments concerned. More significantly, Russia also demanded a roll-back of all military installations placed in East European NATO member-states since 1997, a list that includes Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, and Bulgaria—all former satellite nations of the Soviet empire—as well as the former Soviet republics of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, several former Yugoslavian republics, and Albania.

In security terms, Putin wants nothing less than a return to the status quo before 1990. To show he means business, in the two weeks since the December 7 Zoom call he has nearly doubled the troop deployments on the Ukrainian border, while his advisers suggest he may go farther in the coming weeks. Russia has also signed a new agreement with China that aligns the two countries more closely than at any time since 1950, though Moscow describes their closeness as “unprecedented.”

This de facto revival of the Cold War Sino-Soviet alliance is directed partly against foreign interference in what Moscow and Beijing define as their “internal affairs” and explicitly supports their respective security concerns. For Russia, that means defending a newly declared security zone extending as far west as Prague. For China, which just extinguished Hong Kong’s freedoms with barely a “deep concern” letter from Washington’s corridors of powerlessness, that means taking Taiwan, now a realistic goal in light of the Biden Administration’s manifest weakness.

Western officials have stated their opposition to Russia’s actions and demands, but one thing is clear: the crisis in Ukraine is no longer about Ukraine, if ever it really was. Thanks to Joe Biden, the security of the entire West—and a significant part of Asia—is now haphazard. And Vladimir Putin has yet to fire a single shot.
Foreign countries steamroll Joebama at every turn. Talibanistan, CCP China and now Russia.

Khan, fresh from praising the Taliban takeover, was persuaded by his Chinese allies not to call in. Taiwan, which was allowed to attend, was not allowed to even imply that it was a separate nation from Communist China despite the fact that its independence is democratic.

Taiwan’s leaders are chosen in free elections. China’s leaders are Communist apparatchiks. When a democracy summit censors democracies when they make this point, then what’s it for?

Biden used the Summit for Democracy to pitch his Build Back Better pork sandwich. Foreign leaders and diplomats must have been confused to hear Biden falsely talk up BBB as “an extraordinary investment in our people and our workers” as if he were addressing Ohio Dems.

Confronted with an international forum, Biden and Kamala could think of nothing else than to spout generalities written by their overpaid speechwriters before pivoting to a pitch for their partisan pork along with some of the same old attacks on their Republican political opponents.

There could hardly have been a clearer message to world leaders that the Biden administration doesn’t have a foreign policy, doesn’t want a foreign policy, and couldn’t care less about the world unless there’s a clause ensuring that 10% of the world will be held in trust for the big guy.

The only enemies that Biden and his people can conceive of use an elephant as their symbol and pledge allegiance to the United States, instead of taking a knee at the anthem.

Russia and China weren’t worried before the summit. They’re worried even less now.

The Omicron Fake-out: More Panic Porn From Our President And His Cronies
Is that so? Omicron supposedly started in South Africa some weeks ago and Covid deaths there are at an 18-month low. The existing “vaccines” appear to be completely ineffective against omicron, so how is more of that stuff going to help? And then why all the hysteria about vaxxing up the vaxx-resistant? Insofar as the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines present not insignificant risks of harmful-to-fatal side effects, plus being ineffective, what is the prudent bet there? Speaking of which, will the public even be able to discern whether the alleged winter death surge is a result of Covid or of adverse reactions to the vaxxes? My money would be on adverse vaxx events.

Why is there absolutely no talk — except in the state of Florida, run by Governor Ron DeSantis — about comprehensive early treatment of Covid? Why is the CDC not setting up early treatment centers around the USA, where people with symptoms can receive monoclonal antibody infusions and kits of well-known, cheap, safe and effective oral medicines that can be used easily at home to defeat the virus? (Those medicines have been surreptitiously outlawed by our own CDC, you know.) Is it outlandish to suppose that the official “Joe Biden” government objective is to allow as many people to die as possible in order to keep the public terrorized?

Meanwhile, they’ve provoked the public to line up for Covid tests using a PCR system so discredited for Covid detection that months ago the CDC scheduled it to go offline on December 31st, (And, uh, why the long time-lag between the decision and the action? Answer: it allows the CDC to falsely jack up case numbers until the year’s bitter end.)

With the apparent defeat of the Build Back Better boondoggle, following a long list of other failures, the “Joe Biden” regime’s main chance for retaining any power is to keep the Covid panic going long enough to re-run the mail-in voting scams of 2020 in the 2022 congressional elections. It’s a weak play, though, since the opposition is fully onto it. And if the Democratic Party loses as many seats in Congress and the Senate as it deserves to lose, not a single piece of their toxic legislation will see daylight until the mastodons come home in the next ice age. Also consider that Democratic Party operatives by the limousine-load will be hauled in to testify before opposition-controlled committees and many of these will be subject to criminal referrals.

Anyway, that election is a long ways away while events are moving fast and furiously. Chiefly, the regime’s favorite narratives are falling apart along with its poll numbers and the collapsing economy. “Joe Biden” is programmed to make a pitch for Christmas lockdowns on Tuesday night. I’m sure that’ll go over well (not), on top of the renewed threat of vaxx mandates that will get millions of working people worried and pissed-off about losing their livelihoods — as they go about their frantic last-minute Christmas shopping while making plans for family gatherings that may be cancelled (including airline tickets). Let’s go, Brandon!

One useful idea floating around the Internet lately is for a nationwide general strike to take place on January Fourth, the first back-to-work day after the holiday. It’s simple: don’t show up for work and don’t spend a nickel. The message will be clear: Just stop it! Stop the coercion, stop the lying, stop the shenanigans, and stop the mind-fuckery. If that event comes off, a lot of people will be free for the day — maybe a few days — to take to the streets and demonstrate their principled opposition to illegitimate political leadership. ”Joe Biden” and company will jump up and down, calling it another “insurrection.” Guess what: nobody will believe them.

As His Presidency Founders, Biden Scapegoats The Unvaccinated

Joebama is unifying the country AGAINST HIMSELF.
A few days after the 2020 presidential election, President-elect Joe Biden pledged to be “a president who seeks not to divide but to unify,” a theme he’d campaigned on. “Let this grim era of demonization in America begin to end here and now,” he said in his victory speech. “It’s time to put away the harsh rhetoric, lower the temperature, see each other again, listen to each other again.”

So much for all that. As Biden’s first year in office comes to a close, he has proven to be one of the most divisive presidents in generations, surpassing even Donald Trump in his vindictiveness and willingness to demonize Americans who disagree with him — even if it means lying about COVID-19.
It is always fun to show the disconnect in their own words.

With Malice Toward All
When it becomes necessary for a leader to relinquish trust in order to restore it, and devote himself to the duties of his office by not seeking another term in office, a leader honors the people. We have Joe Biden instead, who has malice toward one-third or more of the American people. To the unvaccinated, he forecasts a winter of severe illness and death. He damns the living, libeling them with the blood of innocents, days before the birthday of the Nazarene whose blood cleanses us from all sin. This is Joe Biden’s Christmas message.

The message is from a Catholic who speaks like a Calvinist, adjudging others—grouping together over a hundred million Americans—to eternal death.

The message is that the sick are wicked, and healing the wicked is a sin, because those who would overwhelm hospitals deserve to die.
Much like some of the Leftists among us.
Biden’s message is the most ahistorical and antagonistic message of its kind, for it is without charity or kindness; and yet it is the most authentic message of its kind, for Biden has no charity or kindness for his fellow Americans.

His message is also a tell, that he cannot tell time, because no president with a sense of decency—no Catholic with the conscience of a Christian—would deliver this message. No other president would offer nothing but fear and blood, or wear a mask while attempting to scare Americans to death. But Joe Biden is like no other president, just as his press secretary, Jen Psaki, is like no other spokesperson for the president.

The latter is glib about everything from shortages to surging prices, dismissing a navy of cargo and container ships—the vessels lining the view outside the Port of Los Angeles—as bearers of irrelevant goods, while blaming inflation on the greed of those who sell goods and services.

As for the former, we should be so lucky.

As a former president, safe in his basement and secure in the benefits of the Former Presidents Act, every day can be Christmas Day for Joe Biden.

When that day comes, whether it comes on the night of November 5, 2024, or the afternoon of January 20, 2025, the day will feel like Christmas.

The day will mark the end of lectures and recriminations, bringing with it the greatest gift of all: the peaceful transfer of power.

May we all live to see that day as God sees fit to give us that day, so we may no longer hide ourselves in daylight or be homebound for the remainder of our days or years.

EPIC! Dad on NORAD Christmas Call Trolls Clueless Biden Into Saying, “Let’s Go Brandon! I Agree” (VIDEO)
Joe and Jill Biden took NORAD Christmas phone calls from families at the White House Friday. One dad closed out the call with a cheery “Let’s go Brandon!”, a phrase that has become a euphemism for the profane protest chant “F*** Joe Biden.”

Jill giggled while Joe said, “Let’s go Brandon! I agree.”

Jill Grabs Joe Biden, Bosses Him Around after He Whispers in Child’s Ear During Visit to Children’s Hospital (VIDEO)
Joe and Jill Biden visited patients and families at Children’s National Hospital in Washington, DC. on Friday.

Joe Biden rudely beelined to a young child and began whispering in his ear as the medical director was introducing Jill to a child with cancer.

After Biden whispered in the boy’s ear, Jill Biden loudly clapped to get Dementia Joe’s attention.

Joe Biden made his way over to Nurse Jill and that’s when she began bossing him around and telling him where to stand.

The problem I have with all the links is that I have no idea if some of the links are to websites of a reasonable quality. I'd guess many are links to trash websites. Does anyone know which ones are supposed to be of a higher quality?
