“[A]t least 100,000 Egyptian troops have been moved towards the border with Gaza…”
I think it’s about time for polling companies to start surveying Americans on their choice in a contest between Donald Trump and Gavin Nuisance. (Geriatric Joe is not going to be the Demosocialist nominee.)
“Call her Jillary.

The reasonable criticism goes that any person who pushes their mentally incapable husband to become president is naturally a bad person committing an act of elder abuse, but Jill Biden's happy warrior-like smiles may hide something even more sinister. Could Jillary be the force behind the so-called Biden Crime Family?”
Why the fuss? 24 times the 15 kiloton Hiroshima bomb = 360 kilotons, or 0.36 megatons, which is nowhere near the 1.2 megatons of the B83 bomb that has been in the U.S. arsenal for quite a few years.

“American leadership is what holds the world together. American alliances are what keep us, America, safe.” – preposterous B.S. from Joe Biden

The reality is that the U.S. government -- via its inept State Department bungling, mindless military misadventures, and the CIA fomenting uprisings and interfering with elections around the world -- has created enemies of the U.S. in almost every country.
Bidenomics: The 2022 deficit was $1.4 trillion. The 2023 deficit is $1.7 trillion. Remove the government’s deficit spending from the nation’s Gross Domestic Product and we are in a recession.

The government Inserting $3.1 trillion in new money into the economy over the last two years without having produced anything did little but increase consumer prices by $3.1 trillion. The government does not make cars or houses or food or clothing. It simply prints and hands out money.
The right to free speech is protected by the First Amendment. Protected speech includes so-called "hate speech." Americans have a right to hate anyone they wish to hate, and to proclaim that hate publicly. That means Jews and Muslims alike. Americans are free to make stupid and hateful remarks. But I am free to speak up against them. I am free to ignore them. I am free to not hire them. And we damn sure should not be spending tax dollars supporting their antics. Protest all you want – on your own dime.
 
But stay away from politicians who seek to limit speech in any way. (That means Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis, among others!) Limiting the speech of Muslims now might later mean limiting the speech of Christians, Jews, Democrats, Republicans, or those opposed to the “deep state” or the imposition of socialism in the U.S.
“Border enforcement is to Joe Biden what polysyllabic words are to Kamala Harris…”
November 1 is World Vegan Day. I suggest we all have a good steak or burger in honor of those who sacrifice taste, protein, and enjoyment of life so that the rest of us can have more.
The Biden administration plans on denying schools lunch funds unless they let boys use girls bathrooms.
Far too many people naively believe evil died with Hitler. It did not. It has been with us forever and always will be. Refusing to accept reality does not change reality.

October 29, 2023:

I don’t speak a word of Icelandic but on a recent visit to Reykjavik I was able to understand the natives’ speech better than I can understand Joe Biden.
Headline: "The Media Is As Awful As They Are Predictable"

"Media" is plural, so the headline should read, "The Media Are As Awful As They Are Predictable."

If media were not plural (although it is), the headline should read, "The Media Is As Awful As It Is Predictable."

October 28, 2023:

If Israel can bomb Gaza because Hamas killed 1,300+ Israelis, can the U.S. bomb Mexico and China over the 100,000+ fentanyl deaths of Americans each year?
The sad reality is that the “vaccines” will probably cause far more Israeli deaths than Hamas.
When the Soviet Union collapsed, the U.S. (under George H. W. Bush)  and Western Europe promised the USSR that NATO would not extend its reach if Russia permitted the reunification of Germany. Russia kept its promise. The U.S., under Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama, then broke the West’s promise and pushed NATO further toward Russia’s borders. Brain-dead Joe Biden and his lamebrain advisors then called for Ukraine to join NATO, which would place U.S. troops and missiles right next door to Russia. That crossed Russia’s well-advertised and often-emphasized red line and prompted Putin to invade Ukraine to put a stop to the threat. Yet the war-eager politicians and media blame Russia.
 
God help us all if the U.S. makes another monumental blunder…
I have a feeling that October 30-31 will not be good for the stock market.
“The Iranians are either really stupid, or they are trying to spark an apocalyptic war.”
“If being pro-woman in woman’s sports is deemed anti-trans, then being pro-trans in woman’s sports is inherently anti-woman. And that is the stand Eventbrite has taken. The event at UC Davis is still going to take place next month. My speech will not be stifled.”
Several reporters have expressed “shock” at the news that Mike Pence was suspending his presidential campaign. Why are they shocked? His campaign was running out of cash and he was likely to not even qualify for the third GOP debate.
How can it not pass on the cost to customers? Unlike the government, businesses cannot print money.
“A prosecutor said she was told after an autopsy ‘there were no medical findings that showed any injury to the vital structures of Mr. Floyd’s neck. There were no medical indications of asphyxia or strangulation.’”

October 27, 2023:

For the record, the Lewiston, Maine bowling alley is a gun-free zone. Also for the record, murder is against the law in Maine.
“There are two main parties of Palestinian Arabs, Hamas and Fatah. A September poll shows that in an election the head of Hamas would beat the Fatah leader 58% to 37%. More importantly both openly share the same goal: the destruction of the Jewish state and the elimination of Jews in the land ‘between the River and the Sea.’”

If the majority of “Palestinians” in Gaza do not support Hamas, how did Hamas get voted into power?
“[T]he vaccine kills about 1.2K people per 1M doses.”
“The United States remains committed to the Palestinian people’s right to dignity and to self-determination.” – Joe Biden, perhaps unaware that it was “Palestinians” who voted for Hamas to run Gaza.
The “evil brilliance" of the masterminds of the "vaccines" who believe the world is vastly overpopulated is demonstrated by the fact that the injections do not kill most people immediately. They instead weaken and damage the immune system, making people susceptible to any number of diseases and maladies that might not kill the victims for a few years. When they die, few people will blame the "vaccine." They will instead blame the “turbo cancer” or other diseases that did the killing, blissfully unaware of what promoted the cancer or other illness in the first place.

October 26, 2023:

We are on the verge of World War III but the State Department is today celebrating “Intersex Awareness Day.”
The correct term is “embarrassed by,” not “embarrassed of.” Why have people started using the latter, improper term? You can be “ashamed of,” but are “embarrassed by.”
 
Also, you say “meanwhile” or “in the meantime.” You would not say “meantime” without "in the.” I have noticed television news anchor incorrectly saying, “Meantime… blah blah blah.”
What will D.C. Democrats and media leftists say when they find out the new Speaker of the House has an adopted black son?
Those who believe terrorists would spare them also believe the "vaccines" are safe and effective.
The United Auto Workers got nowhere near what they wanted from Ford, but what they did get will certainly show up on new car window stickers.

October 25, 2023:

Obama stated he was concerned that Israel’s retaliation against Hamas would “harden Palestinian attitudes for generations.”

How naive can Barry Soetoro be? The Gazans and Hamas have already been hardened. Why does he think they were willing to murder 1,300+ innocent Israelis on October 7?
You are thousands of times more likely to die of heart disease than a terrorist attack. (Well, at least you were before Biden and Mayorkas opened the border.)
Iran is attacking U.S. forces in Iraq. Why do we still have American troops in Iraq?
“[G]overnments and drug companies ‘have misled the world to a far greater extent than previously known.’”

October 24, 2023:

“The Dildo of Consequences rarely arrives lubricated.”
Screw “renewable energy.” I demand a perpetual motion machine!
“American leadership is what holds the world together. American alliances are what keep us, America, safe.” – monumental donkey fazoo from Joe Biden
 
“By dragging the United States into this war, President Biden has planted the seeds of innumerable 9/11-style blowback attacks on the US. Yet he has the audacity to claim that all of this is keeping us safe.”
“If the economy is so strong, how can these ‘leading’ economic indicators be so weak?”
 I repeat:
 
Bad leaders start wars.
Good leaders win wars.
Great leaders prevent wars.
Celebrity Jeopardy and Dancing With The Stars routinely feature “celebrities” and “stars” I have never heard of, and Celebrity Jeopardy should be renamed Dumbed Down Jeopardy.
The people most willing to say, “We stand with the Palestinians!” are not about to also say, “Let them live next door to me!”

October 23, 2023:

Agreeing to a ceasefire after you have just been attacked is as stupid as giving your spouse all the keys to the house, the cars, and the safe deposit box before you even draft a divorce settlement.
“We don’t want to see our forces or our personnel come under fire. But if that happens, we’re ready for it.” – Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, blissfully unaware that sending U.S. warships and thousands of additional military personnel to the Middle East increases the likelihood that they will come under fire
On October 18 the Biden administration imposed key sanctions on several financial enablers of Hamas terrorism. Iran was not on the list. Why?
Every one point increase in loan interest rates means an additional $335 billion in annual interest on the national debt of $33.5 trillion.
“What a day for another $106 billion imperial boondoggle. There is not one dime in ‘Joe Biden’s’ war package that enhances the safety and security of the American homeland, yet all of it is being blithely charged to Uncle Sam’s vastly over-extended credit card.”
“The fact that people don’t seem to understand that most of the country is living under emergency measures, is what is stunning about our current moment. This is why I keep saying these days that the coup d’etat has already taken place in America. By definition, when you are living under emergency measures, you no longer have a functioning democracy.”
 
“[D]emocracies usually do not die with a cinematic scene of goose-stepping Brownshirts suddenly in the streets. They tend to die, rather, just as [Amos] Elon described — incrementally, day by day, collapsing grotesquely in some areas of society and in regards to some institutions, even as other aspects of society and other institutions look and feel, at least superficially, exactly the same as they did before.”
 
“[T]he vaccines made things much worse. They kill people, interfere with women’s reproductive systems, and are truly ‘Mengele medicine.’ We are in a battle with dark satanic forces.”
 
“What we have lived through since 2020 is so sophisticated, so massive, so evil, and executed in such inhumane unison, that it cannot be accounted for without venturing into metaphysics. Something else, something metaphysical, must have done that.”
“People do not expect to find chastity in a whorehouse. Why, then, do they expect to find honesty and humanity in government, a congeries of institutions whose modus operandi consists of lying, cheating, and if need be, murdering those who resist?” - H. L. Mencken
$10 says Greta Thunberg knew damn well that the octopus has been used in anti-Jewish propaganda since the Nazi-era.
Vivek Ramaswamy recently admitted that his parents were not U.S. citizens when he was born. In fact, his father never became a U.S. citizen. Because he was not born to two U.S.-citizen parents, Ramaswamy (like Nikki Haley) is not a "natural born citizen" and cannot legally serve as president. Technically, he was born with Indian citizenship inherited from his parents, and became a naturalized U.S. citizen. He is precisely the kind of person the Founding Fathers did not want serving as president. John Jay successfully lobbied George Washington to change the requirement from "born citizen" (born on U.S. soil) to "natural born citizen" (born on U.S. soil to two U.S-citizen parents) because he wanted presidents removed as far as possible from allegiance to another country.
 
That issue is clearly significant with Ramaswamy and Haley. If one of them were president and India and Pakistan went to war, would they favor India? Would their foreign policies be affected by the fact that they have relatives living in India who could be nuked by Pakistan?

Obviously, the further removed a person is from foreign affections the more objective he can be as president. We saw that with Obama, who hates Great Britain because it "colonized" parts of Africa (including what later became Kenya), and who hates Israel and Jews because of his Muslim upbringing in Indonesia.
Chevron to buy Hess for $53 billion

October 22, 2023:

Constipation kills more Americans than rifles.
Some suggest that the Hamas terrorists who murdered hundreds of Israelis on October 7 were on drugs that heightened their evil acts.
I am getting awfully tired of news reports that use the word “they” and “their” in place of “he” and “his.”
Of course, these totals do not count terrorists who avoided capture or who should be on the watch list but are not.

October 21, 2023:

Yes, I definitely recall our State Department during World War II telling the German people, “We’re sorry we have to fight your troops and we realize you elected Hitler to be your Chancellor by mistake.”
Israel would tell Biden to pound sand but it does not want to risk the loss of any weapons and cash from the U.S.
“Building a border wall, whether with construction materials or security sensors, is a low margin activity, and once in place, the updating and repair contracts are not lucrative, in the way that government-subsidized weapons systems and ammunition with associated spending and endless training, and with continuous upgrades and cost overruns – this is where the real money is.”
“The COVID-19 ‘vaccines’ are the first vaccines in history that... neither protect against infection nor slow its spread.”

“Not only are the vaccines ineffective, but they are also very dangerous. Since the rollout of the vaccination campaign, there has been an explosion of adverse reaction reports across the world. In the United States, the reports related to the COVID shots in the VAERS database exceed those related to all the other vaccines combined. There is no doubt that the COVID vaccines are the most dangerous vaccines ever devised and that by a long shot.”
How will a possible reinstatement of the draft impact the 2024 elections? Where would you prefer dying for no justifiable reason? Israel? Ukraine? Taiwan?
Look for change at the top of Brazil’s government before the end of the year. Meanwhile, Javier Milei’s chances of winning the presidency in Argentina look good.
The Democrats would not let Trump refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve when oil was $25 per barrel, but now want Biden to replenish it as $79 per gallon.
Louisiana’s Republican governor-elect Jeff Landry captured about 12 percent of the black vote. Although that might not seem like much, it propelled him to victory over the Democrat. The reality is that the Democrat Party needs 90+ percent of the black vote to consistently win elections. If Republicans can improve their standing in the black community by only a few percentage points they can significantly delay the Democrats’ rush to push the nation toward borderless global socialism.

October 20, 2023:

“A new study has found that 50 percent of young men who contracted myocarditis after receiving the COVID vaccine suffered permanent heart damage…”
Thanks to Biden’s open border, there are easily more than 100,000 “Special Interest Aliens” in the U.S. They are from nations that harbor terrorists. They were foolishly (or intentionally?) released by the Biden administration into the U.S. (and they have cell phones and debit cards continuously replenished by their foreign sponsors). Is anyone naive enough to believe that none of them have evil intentions? How many of them are planning terrorist attacks? How many of them will act alone? How many of them are in “sleeper cells,” just waiting for a signal to strike? What are their plans? What are their targets? Crowds at concerts or sporting events? Public water supplies? Military bases? Power plants?
Imbecilic “economists” in the government and the media argue that the economy is doing just fine because retail sales were up 0.7 percent in September. “Consumer spending is up! The economy is going gangbusters!” The flaw in that argument is that retail prices have gone up because of government-caused inflation. If you bought 100 gallons of milk in 2022 and 100 gallons of milk in 2023, of course the retail sales figures show higher dollar amounts because the price of milk has gone up! But you consumed no more milk in 2023 than in 2022. You just paid more for it. In fact, you might even have bought only 95 gallons of milk in 2023 because of the price increases, but those higher prices mean you actually spent more on milk in 2023 than in 2022.
 
If you bought 100 gallons of milk in 2022 for a total cost of $350.00 and 95 gallons of milk in 2023 for a total cost of $380.00, are you better off? Of course not! But the “economists”  are giddy that retail sales of milk to you went up $30.00 year-over-year.
 
Do not be fooled. The economy is terrible and about to collapse.
Why are so many illegal aliens not bothering to apply for work permits? They are not in the U.S. to work. They are in the U.S. to attack Americans. They have cell phones allowing them to remain in contact with each other and their handlers. They have no need for a job because their income is in their debit card, which is being replenished by their foreign sponsor. They are in the U.S. planning their attacks, and waiting for a signal to implement them.
Note to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran: The response will not be “proportionate.”

“Hamas tortured children in front of their parents, parents in front of their children—gouged out eyes, cut off flesh, and then shot them with their hands tied behind their backs.” But Biden wants Israel not to be vengeful.
The death count of Americans in Israel is now up to 32, and Biden does not want us enraged and seeking revenge.
In his address to the nation on October 19 Biden essentially said, “Don’t sweat the aid we’re giving to Ukraine. We’re not really giving it your money, we’re only giving it arms from our existing inventory—which we will then replenish and that will create jobs for Americans.” That is like saying, “I am not giving my hungry neighbor money to buy groceries, I am simply giving him all the groceries I have in my kitchen. I can then go out and buy more groceries for myself.”
 
Whether aid to Ukraine is in the form of money or arms, it will still cost the U.S. taxpayers a fortune. Biden did not justify that additional aid, other than to recite the tired old “domino theory” that was used to rationalize the loss of 58,000 American lives in Vietnam: “If we don’t stop Russia in Ukraine, it will then invade Poland and eventually set up shop in the Eiffel Tower!”
 
Idiots.
Democrat: "Russia is weak and cannot possibly defeat Ukraine. Ukraine is winning!"

Also Democrats: "If we do not stop Russia in Ukraine, it is so powerful it will take all of Europe!”
For  the record, support for Hamas that reflects placing Shari’ah law ahead of the U.S. Constitution is grounds for revocation of citizenship and deportation.
Either Trump is going to win big or the deep state is going to engineer another Dealey Plaza.

October 19, 2023:

Earlier in the year I predicted that October would be a very bad month. Will it now get worse? Will citizens somewhere give their leader the Mussolini treatment? How far can people be pushed toward the edge?
Imagine the protests that would take place if Trump were to be jailed for violating the absurd (and unconstitutional) gag order placed on him by a corrupt judge. Is the deep state afraid enough, dumb enough, and evil enough to try it?
Democrats demand that 2+2=10
Conservatives argue that 2+2=4
RINOs and Paul Ryan “compromise” and agree that 2+2=5
 
RINOs and John Boehner agree that 2+2=6
 
RINOs and Mitch McConnell then agree that 2+2=7
 
RINOs and Kevin McCarthy agree that 2+2=8
 
…and the Dems and RINOs eventually get to 10.
 
That is why we have a national debt of $34 trillion.
 
Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Green, Lauren Boebert, and a few others in the House and the Senate are the enemies of the Dems and RINOs because they want 2+2=4.
The RINOs who voted against Jim Jordan are getting a lot of criticism from their constituents. Good.
You know you’re getting old when the media reports the death of a famous celebrity you’ve never heard of.
You know you’re getting old when your waist and inseam measurements change places.
In response to evidence that it was a Hamas rocket that exploded in the parking lot of a hospital in Gaza, Joe Biden said the terrorists “gotta learn how to shoot straight.” Apparently Biden thinks Hamas needs to be more effective in killing Israelis.
1. Does her $80k in debt include the expensive new vehicle with two sunroofs?

2. Considering how she is not paying attention to her driving and how she is incorrectly using her seat belt she had better hope she does not get in an accident.
Some polls suggest that Robert Kennedy, Jr. takes more votes away from Trump than from Biden. That trend might not continue when the voters learn about some of his radical positions. He is not Trump without the mean tweets. Aside from his opposition to Anthony Fauci and untested vaccines, he is a typical Democrat with far left positions.
Over the last week-and-a-half most of us have heard Gaza described as an “open-air prison,” with the prison guards being the Israelis. For the record, poor neighborhoods in America’s largest cities can also be described as open-air prisons, with Democrat mayors and city councils serving as the prison guards.
“The problem is that people who want to govern are almost always bad guys.”
Joe Biden: “We have Israel’s back.” When will he say, “We have Texas’s back, and New Mexico’s back, and Arizona’s back, and California’s back”?
Biden is asking for $100 billion more for Israel and Ukraine. How much has he requested for Maui and for East Palestine, Ohio?
 
America last.

October 18, 2023:

Mumbles woke up from his nap and no one had the nerve to guide him back to bed…
I distinctly recall World War II being nothing more than a match between the skins and the shirts...
When Joe Biden says, “That’s not hyperbole,” you can assume it is hyperbole. When he says, “Literally true,” you can assume it is not. When he says, “Anyway,” you can assume he has dementia.
The donkey fazoo is about to strike the rotating cooling device…
“You are not Christians. You are not Jews. You are not Muslims. And you certainly aren’t atheists. You all have the same god, and its name is ‘government.’ You’re all members of the most evil, insane, destructive cult in history. If there ever was a devil, the state is it. And you worship it with all your heart and soul.” -  Larken Rose, The Iron Web
“In economic terms, the US has, like Wile E. Coyote, run off a cliff but hasn’t yet looked down to notice the fact.”
“There will be no refugees in Jordan and no refugees in Egypt.” – Jordan’s King Abdullah II
 
Most “Palestinians” have Egyptian or Jordanian ancestry, yet neither Egypt nor Jordan wants anything to do with them. Some naive politicians want one million of them in the United States.
 
Hell no!
No one serving in the federal government should be a dual citizen. There are more than 30 members of the House and Senate who hold dual citizenship. There are hundreds in the Executive Branch. None should be there. (There is no legal prohibition against individuals with dual citizenship from serving in the federal government, but there should be. You either owe allegiance to the United States or you do not.)
I do not personally know anyone who has a helipad, but anyone who does has created more jobs in the helicopter industry than AOC has ever created anywhere.

October 17, 2023:

Trump is either irrationally confidant and cocky or he has a boatload of evidence to release that will destroy the deep state when it gets ready to lower the boom on him. I certainly hope it is the latter.
Are we heading toward World War III by accident or part of a plan?
Vet: transitive verb; a) to evaluate for possible approval or acceptance; b) to subject to usually expert appraisal or correction; c) something the Biden administration will not do to Gaza residents and terrorists it is eager to allow into the United States.
Young Polish women voted to move the country further to the political left in order to make access to abortion easier. They will certainly need it inasmuch as open borders will now mean thousands of “migrants” eager to take advantage of them.
Biden’s planned visit to Israel on October 18 will give Hamas and Hezbollah more time to prepare for the coming Israeli counter-offensive. Why is Geriatric Joe helping the jihadists?
“Republicans can’t even agree on a Speaker of the House, so clearly, not every Republican thinks the same.” - a Biden campaign worker, apparently unaware he was admitting that Democrats are all brainless automatons who unquestionably follow orders
Frankly, I expect a major economic disaster in the coming months. Give the Speaker of the House job to Democrat Hakeem Jeffries, and then the voters can blame him, Joe Biden, and Chuck Schumer for the disaster. Let it all collapse. Get it over with and start again from scratch.
 
Oh, and buy gold and silver as soon as you can!
I went to an adult toy store but could not find even one action figure.
I am beginning to think the best solution is for every Jew and Christian in Israel to leave for the U.S. and then burn everything left behind on their way out. Let the “Palestinians” have the rubble and wallow in their own incivilities.
A leftist professor (aren’t they all?) at Cornell University finds Hamas's killing of innocent Israelis “energizing and “exhilarating.”

October 16, 2023:

The 2024 Democrat National Convention is gonna be lit if Chicago keeps coddling illegal aliens and ignoring the citizens from whom they want votes in November.
The average American has no idea how close the nation is to economic collapse.
 
“The gathering gloom you are feeling is real. As most people go about their daily lives, rooting for their football teams, posting drivel on facebook and twitter, buying tickets to Taylor Swift’s concert movie, staring at their i-gadget prisons, and wondering why their standard of living keeps going down, psychopaths in suits are pushing the world toward World War 3. Time to get right with the lord and be prepared for the worst. There truly is a darkness on the edge of town and it is bearing down on us like a locomotive. The dream is real and it should be waking you up at night with a fear so real. Welcome to the badlands.”
For some time Gaza residents have been given work permits allowing then to commute to Israel for jobs. They “thanked” Israel by using their time across the border to draw secret maps of Israeli communities to help Hamas better target civilians.
 
But I am sure no one crossing from Mexico into the U.S. has any similar intention of doing harm to innocent Americans. Nah, Biden and Mayorkas would never allow that…
Why the **** is Biden "honoring" the life of a drug addict who was trying to pass a counterfeit bill at a convenience store and then resisted arrest?
“The Israelis are known to love life. We, on the other hand, sacrifice ourselves. We consider our dead to be martyrs. The thing any Palestinian desires the most is to be martyred for the sake of Allah, defending his land.” - Senior Hamas official Ali Baraka
“The recent attacks in Israel are a horrific reminder of how lightly guarded civilization is from savagery.”

October 15, 2023:

“There is a story that the Israeli ambassador was about to give a speech to the U.N. He said, ‘Before I begin my speech, I’d like to tell a story. Moses was bathing in the Jordan River, and when he got out, his clothes had been stolen by a Palestinian.’

The Palestinian ambassador jumped up. ‘Outrageous!’ he exclaimed. ‘We were not even in the region at that time!’

The Israeli ambassador continued, ‘Now that it has been clearly established that the Palestinians were not even there historically, I will now begin my speech.’”
When winter hits the “sanctuary cities” there will be a lot of illegal aliens on the streets wishing they had stayed south of the border.
Hamas has a reported 40,000 terrorists in Gaza waiting to “greet” the incoming Israeli troops. Do they know there are 360,000 Israelis ready to engage them? And combat aircraft?
California has an "Amber Alert" for missing children.
It now has an "Ebony Alert" for missing blacks,
a "Feather Alert" for missing Indians, and
a "Silver Alert" for missing old people. (I am not making this up!)
 
But it does not have an alert for Hispanics. What name would you choose?
"It has taught people now that why don't you just go work with Democrats and disrupt government? [sic]” – the unable-to-form-a-proper-sentence Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), whining about the eight Republicans who voted to oust him from the Speaker of the House position
 
McCarthy is completely oblivious to the fact that those eight voted against him because, over the last eight months, he had been working with the Democrats to give them what they wanted.

October 14, 2023:

Far too many people believe evil ended with the death of Adolph Hitler. It did not. Mankind has never been without it. The reality is that you have neighbors who would kill you for a can of beans if there was an emergency and they got hungry enough.
From all the naive leftists eagerly regurgitating the "open air prison" mantra I have heard not even one solution to the problem of Islamic terrorism. Hamas will not be rendered peaceful by James Taylor singing, You've got a friend.
There are uncivilized savages among us. Denying that will not make them go away. Denying that will not prevent you from being a victim.
“So, whichever way these new events may go, things have changed. There will be more intense conflict over the remaining oil in the Middle East. Europe may finally discover that it does not relish being turned into one big mosque. And the USA is so lost in self mind-fuckery that we can’t even get our House of Representatives in order. The American students (and faculty!) cheerleading for Gaza’s Road Warrior executioners might represent the last stand of Woke derangement. This degenerate nonsense has run its course. It may dawn in our centers-of-learning — and every other collaborating institution — that we have more important things to think about than the etiquette around men who dress-up as women.”
“Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” – Proverbs 19:21
 
I wish I knew what that purpose was.
How many “SIAs” (Special Interest Aliens) are in the U.S. thanks to Biden’s open border policy? Are Americans soon going to face terrorist attacks? Is all Hell about to break loose?
All those who are demanding that Israel not attack Hamas because there will be some civilian casualties need to give us their solution.

Should Israel do nothing?
“The West’s denial of the root cause of this long, ugly gruesome war on the West, Islam. It’s going to be a terrible, bloody long lesson. The hijrah (Islamic immigration), the hatred of Israel, the crushing of free speech – all attempts to mollify the global jihadists is civilizational suicide. You can ignore reality, but you cannot ignore the bloody, painful, unimaginable consequences of ignoring reality.”
Democrat city: A place where you are fined for not picking up your dog’s poop but allowed to leave human poop on the sidewalk.
As an optimist, I see the positive side of everything: Every day without a Speaker of the House and a functioning government is a day without the passage of a spending bill.
The Washington Post:  We cannot stand by and watch Israel commit atrocities. The United States and other global leaders must not allow Israel to carry out the collective punishment it has declared it will exact on Gaza.
 
The Washington Post's advice to women being raped:"Don't fight back, just try to enjoy it.
Biden's statement on a drugged-up street thug who tried to pass counterfeit bills and who resisted arrest:

October 13, 2023:

If a Christian, Jew, Buddhist, or Hindi kills an innocent person he is acting against the principles of his religion. When a Muslim jihadist kills an innocent person he is acting in accordance with his religion, which tells him that no non-Muslims are innocent. A jihadist simply does not understand the question, "How can you kill an innocent person?" because he has been brainwashed since childhood to hate all non-Muslims and to consider none of them to be innocent.

That is what Israel and western civilization are up against.
Eighteen-year-olds in Israel are fighting for their nation’s survival. Eighteen-year-olds in the U.S. are arguing over pronouns and fighting for abortions.
Apparently decapitating a person does not make one a "savage." Perhaps we are supposed to call them "head removal facilitators."
Why is the NYC police commissioner in Qatar?
Islam is a religion of war and conquest. Its most faithful adherents will eagerly kill infidels— non-Muslims—when the time is right. There are Muslims who have been lifelong friends of Christians and Jews who nevertheless tell them, “Yes, I will kill you when the time for jihad arrives.” One cannot reason with such people. That is the situation civilization now faces in Israel and Gaza.
 
‘[A]s far as Muslims are concerned, the murder of Israeli civilians is a holy struggle.”
 
What their war is all about
“The first rule of co-existing with Islamic Jihadists is that you can’t.”
 
“Either you defeat Islamic terrorists or they will defeat you. The idea of a middle ground is an illusion that lasts only as long as your capabilities do.”

“There are no other choices on the menu. Neither peace nor deterrence will work. Only war. A war ends when the enemy does.”
“[T]he current nightmare in Israel is the logical end result of what Barack Obama, John Kerry (remember his Trump-era Paris reconnaissance with the Iranians?), Ben Rhodes, Valerie Jarrett, Robert Malley, Joe Biden, Antony Blinken and a host of other incompetent but otherwise haughty and dangerous people once conjured up.”
Biden saying, "Inflation is coming down!" is like a husband bragging, "I beat my wife fewer times this year than last year!"
“Whoever propagates RNA vaccines as effective and safe... is either incredibly ignorant or endlessly evil.” – Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi
The Washington Post and other lefties seemed not to mind when people were fired for refusing dangerous vaccines, refusing to wear unhealthy masks, or refusing to refer to men as women… but now they are wetting their panties because people who publicly expressed support for the cold-blooded murder of innocent people in Israel are getting canned?
“One thing to remember about the House GOP is that they love to lose. Because when you lose, you can whine in fundraising emails, which is much easier than actually doing something.”
“The UAW’s initial demands included a 46% wage increase over the nearly five-year contract, a 32-hour work week without a reduction in pay, a return to traditional pensions and retiree health care plans, cost-of-living adjustments, and job protections.” Do the auto workers not realize that if those demands were met the cost of U.S-built cars and trucks would skyrocket and consumers would respond by buying more imported vehicles?
“The war on inflation is over if you exclude food, energy, shelter, and used cars…”

October 12, 2023:

The Los Angeles Times still refuses to release video it has of anti-Israeli remarks made by Obama at a 2003 dinner honoring one of his Palestinian pals. From Volume I of The Complete Obama Timeline:
 
“In 2003, Obama attends a dinner held in honor of Rashid Khalidi, former PLO operative, harsh critic of Israel, and advocate of Palestinian rights. Obama, who has consistently denied a close relationship with Khalidi (even though the Obamas have dined more than once at the home of Khalidi and his wife, Mona, and used them as occasional baby-sitters), praises Khalidi during the decidedly anti-Semitic event. William Ayers also attends the dinner, and both Ayers and Obama sign Khalidi’s guest book. The event is a going away party for Khalidi, who is leaving Chicago and moving to New York. The dinner is sponsored by the Arab American Action Network, to which Obama had funneled cash several times while serving on the board of the Woods Fund. One speaker at the dinner remarks that if Palestinians cannot secure a return of their land, Israel ‘will never see a day of peace.’”
 
“The Los Angeles Times has a videotape of the Khalidi dinner but refuses to make it public. It is assumed the tape’s contents are damaging to Obama, likely because the event includes anti-Semitic sentiments and Obama heaping praise on Khalidi. Further, appearing as entertainment at the Khalidi dinner is a children’s dance group, the Sanabel AlQuds Dabka troupe. The Milwaukee-based Muslim children’s dance group typically performs the ‘debka,’ a Middle-Eastern dance. The group’s performances have been known to include simulated beheadings with fake swords, and stomping on American, Israeli, and British flags. It has been alleged that, in his speech at the Khalidi dinner, Obama states ‘Israel has no God-given right to occupy Palestine,’ and there has been ‘genocide against the Palestinian people by (the) Israelis.’”
End the monumental foreign aid the U.S. hands out like candy every year and there would be far fewer grifters like Robert Menendez in Congress.
Obama waged more years of war than any other U.S. president.
If you think Biden’s approval ratings are low now, wait until Social Security recipients learn the annual cost of living increase in their January checks will only be about 3.2 Percent.
Some Muslims in Israel are evacuating to Jordan. One can assume they expect more terrorist attacks on Israel and want to get out of the way.
The death count in Israel is about 1,200, or approximately 0.013 percent of Israel’s population. If terrorists killed 0.013 percent of the U.S. population of about 340 million, the death count would be about 44,000. If 44,000 Americans were murdered, would you listen to calls for “restraint” if the U.S. commenced a counter attack?
The leader of Hamas has called for worldwide attacks tomorrow, Friday the 13th. That mean Muslims anywhere in the Middle East attacking Israel, U.S. military bases, etc. It also means Muslims around the world ready to conduct terror attacks against the "infidels." Thanks to Biden's open borders, the U.S. is chock full of Hezbollah terrorists who learned English and were given Venezuelan IDs before they waded across the Rio Grande, to be welcomed by Geriatric Joe and Alejandro Mayorkas. The donkey fazoo is going to strike the rotating cooling device tomorrow, and every American needs to be on guard. Keep your powder dry. What should be happening is the mobilization of the National Guard across the nation, and U.S. military troops at the ready around the world. The U.S. should be on alert. Has the Biden administration called for that? Of course not. The blood will be on the hands of Joe Biden, Anthony Blinken, Victoria Nuland, Jake Sullivan, and Lloyd Austin.
The U.S. gives Egypt $3 billion in foreign aid each year. Egypt refuses to let the civilian residents of Gaza cross the border to seek refuge in advance of Israel’s planned incursion into Gaza to destroy Hamas. The U.S. should tell Egypt, “Open your border with Gaza or lose the $3 billion.” Why is the Biden administration not doing that?
An awful lot of people disgusted and disturbed by the thought of killing and beheading Israeli babies seem quite willing to accept the brutal dismemberment of American babies by Planned Parenthood.
The vast majority of Republican voters across the country do not want Steve Scalise to be Speaker of the House. It is the big-spenders and supporters of the status quo in D.C. who want him elected.
Why did people start saying, “Paint out…” rather than just, “Paint…” and “Change out…” rather than just, “Change…”? Everyone will understand what you mean if you say, “I am going to paint that wall” and “I need to change that faucet.”
 
And why did plain old “car dealers” become “car dealerships”?

Also, "If he thinks blah, blah, blah.... he has another think coming," not another thing coming.

Lastly, the proper phrasing is, "He had better not blah, blah, blah...", not, "He better..."

Why do ships carry cargo and trucks carry shipments?
“Biden is like, ‘Oh, let’s just send him [Zelenskyy] an extra 100 billion.’ Well, where are we going to get it? We’re broke. We have a $2 trillion-plus deficit. That’s why bonds are collapsing and yields are rising. And we want to borrow another $100 billion to send it over to Ukraine to perpetuate that war?”

October 11, 2023:

“When the arc of the entire moral infrastructure of a nation, or its political combatants, is predicated on the destruction and annihilation of another nation or state and, further, when the citizens of such nations/states or regions or governing units support the infrastructure and its architects, a war of total annihilation can be ethically defended.”
 
“[T]errorists, and war adversaries who begin a war or onslaught against a people, have evicted themselves from the realm of rights.”
Even Fox News is using the name "Palestine." Where is Palestine? There is Israel and there is Gaza. There is no "Palestine."
Biden today claimed that when each of his children reached age 14 he took them to Dachau to teach them about anti-Semitism. Anyone who believes he did that is dumb enough to have voted for him.
Why are so many people so naive? War involves bombing, destruction, and killing. War is Hell. Those who cannot believe the destruction in Gaza should research Dresden in World War II.
“People were created to be loved. Things were created to be used. The reason why the world is in chaos, is because things are being loved and people are being used.” – author unknown
Pakistan has nukes. Israel has nukes. This provocation is NOT good. Why not let all the "Palestinians" relocate to Pakistan, where they will be among friends?
Anthony Blinken, Joe Biden, Jake Sullivan, Victoria Nuland, and Alejandro Mayorkas are among the most incompetent, naive, and dangerous people ever to serve in the U.S. government's executive branch.
How can you reason with anyone whose argument is, “Well, they did kill babies but there is no proof they cut their heads off”? If a person commits cold-blooded murder it hardly matters how many bullets entered his victim or how many times it was stabbed.
With the Biden administration busy trying to figure out a way to rescue Palestinians from Gaza, Trump should charter planes to fly to Israel to rescue Americans who cannot get out.
Large crowds and long lines often make Disney World a miserable experience. In the past I have argued that the park should increase prices because that would result in smaller crowds by keeping out people who cannot afford it. I was wrong. People just keep going amyway, and they just put it all on their credit cards.
I have seen Ken Jennings very picky about responses on Jeopardy, yet he let slide a contestant who responded, “What is an orangutang?” when the correct name is orangutan. More consistency is needed!

October 10, 2023:

This Friday is Friday the 13th and Hamas has called for a “day of general mobilization in the Arab and Islamic world.”

If you see something, say something. And keep your powder dry, folks...
Perhaps the CIA could have seen the Hamas attack coming had it not been devoting much of its manpower to monitoring Facebook.
What caused a massive crowd in Sydney, Australia to chant “F**k the Jews!” and “Gas the Jews!”?

Multiculturalism and immigration.
“You cannot shoot your way a little bit into a war any more than you can go a little bit over Niagara Falls.” – Thomas A. Bailey
Hamas calling for a truce is like a husband asking his wife to be understanding when she catches him with another woman. Actions have consequences.
If the Israeli government was surprised by Hamas terrorists, how surprised will the U.S. government be when some of the terrorists Geriatric Joe has allowed to wade unhindered across the Rio Grande commit a far greater atrocity?
What the world needs is a bomb that can somehow avoid innocent civilians and kill only evil leaders. I would invent it but no nation would ever buy it.
“Palestine is not Ukraine. If America intervenes directly, all American locations in the region will become legitimate targets of the resistance axis and will face our attacks. And on this day there will be no red line left.” — Hezbollah Official Statement
Far too many people believe evil died with Adolph Hitler. It did not.
Biden basically said nothing in his brief remarks this afternoon. (He again mentioned the loss of Beau Biden, but avoided using his name.) He did not mention Iran. He did not say he would refreeze the $6 billion. He did not say he would act to free American hostages. He refused to take questions. What a useless human being.
“I have certain rules I live by. My first rule: I don’t believe anything the government tells me.” – George Carlin
“[Y]ou can have no money… or you can have plenty of money that’s worthless. What’s it gonna be?”
“As one of the first orders of business after the House of Representatives selects a new Speaker and additional military and humanitarian aid is approved for Israel, the House should at minimum vote to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) and take away her committee assignments.”

October 9, 2023:

If Israel really wanted to kill a lot of Palestinians, it would give them all Covid vaccines.
I fully endorse making Lindsey “Goober” Graham put on a uniform so he can fight in all the wars he supports.
Strangely... whenever I have been hungry, thirsty, unemployed, or depressed I never once considered pulling people out of their cars and homes to execute them in cold blood. Perhaps it was how I was raised.
Perhaps if Israel had a Second Amendment and its citizens were armed… Hamas terrorists could not go door to door to kill and kidnap innocent people.
What I expect Biden to say about the Hamas attacks on Israel:
 
“My wife Jill and I were saddened to hear about the death and destruction in Israel. I know what that feels like. I lost a son in Iraq. And my house almost burned to the ground when the kitchen caught fire. Anyway, they told me I should call for peace but tell Israel we have its back.”
With at least nine Americans dead in the Hamas attacks and an unknown number kidnapped, Biden hosted a barbecue at the White House on October 8 and is hiding out from the media on October 9.
“The Middle East region is quieter today than it has been in two decades.” – Jake Sullivan, Biden’s National Security Advisor, on September 29
 
Weeks ago I warned that October was going to be a disastrous month. I had no advance knowledge of anything. I just had a feeling. I wish I had been wrong.
“[N]ot only did ivermectin work against COVID-19, it was remarkably effective, resulting in a 74% reduction in excess deaths in the 10 states where it was used most intensively.”
 
“[T]he symptoms of COVID-19 were primarily vascular in nature, not respiratory.”
 
“One of the worst things you can do to somebody with a vascular regulation problem of the lungs is to increase the pressure in the lungs because you’re just going to close off more vessels with a ventilator, and that’s why … in many ways a ventilator was a death knell.”
“Biden and his Western vassals and their mendacious media keep repeating the baseless lie that Russia’s military intervention in Ukraine is an ‘unprovoked aggression.’ This narrative is a brazen denial of the history of the CIA-backed coup in Kiev in 2014 and the NATO weaponization of a NeoNazi regime that was killing ethnic Russians in former Ukraine for nine years.”

October 8, 2023:

Well, I might be a bit rebellious too if my old man was using money from my college fund to pay for hookers.
Mainstream media: "Hamas has been planning this attack for months!"

Also mainstream media: "It's Matt Gaetz's fault!"
 
Leftist idiots all.
Why do politicians seem to live so much longer than non-politicians?
"But Iran didn't even get the $6 billion yet!"
 
Well, the U.S. government doesn't have $33 trillion lying around either, yet it has already spent it!

October 7 2023:

"Your call is very important to us. It will be answered when all others in the queue ahead of you have been taken care of. Your estimated wait time is 47 years."
MSNBC thinks the killing of innocent Israelis is a "gift" to the country's prime minister.
Biden when Russia invades Ukraine: "Give Zelenskyy $100 billion!

Biden when Hamas invades Israel: "Deal with it!"
“[T]he elimination of personal property ownership is all part of the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Great Reset agenda, Agenda 2030 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. These are just different names for the same overarching plan.”
“There is nothing more terrifying in all of nature than a mob of enraged humans who believe their righteous indignation gives them license to destroy their purported enemies.”

October 6, 2023:

What do Senator Bob Menendez's wife Nadine and Joe Biden's brother Frank have in common?
The leftists are not shoving lies down our throats because they expect us to believe that people can change genders or that our SUVs will destroy the planet or that there is no such thing as vote fraud or that Joe Biden is not losing his mind. Their purpose is to demoralize resisters and force them to give up fighting in order to make it easier to implement borderless global socialism.
In Biden’s world, if you lose a $75,000 full-time job and now have to work two part-time jobs that in total pay $50,000, “Bidenomics” is a success because there are more jobs.
“Walls only serve to push migrants into more remote areas…” – Alexandria Ocasio Cortez
 
Uh, yeah… that’s the point! Make it more difficult to enter the U.S. illegally! (Does she realize she admitted that walls work?)
Hillary Clinton wants “formal deprogramming” of Trump supporters. What exactly does that mean? Re-education camps behind barbed wire? Electroshock therapy? Lobotomies?

October 5, 2023:

Should all descendants of slave holders be forever banned from public office? That would include Joe Biden, Jimmy Carter, George Bush, Barack Obama, Senator Elizabeth Warren, and Senator Tammy Duckworth.

Trump is the only living former president who does NOT have a slaveholder ancestor!
When I was a kid people only feared God. Now they fear "global warming," "incorrect pronouns," "Russia taking over all of Europe," even the smallest reduction in federal spending, being "canceled," "hateful words" by guest speakers in universities, other people's opinions, parental control over children, etc. They fear almost everything but God.
Fox News' Brian Kilmeade, who is clearly following the marching orders of Murdoch and Paul Ryan, has become unwatchable. The nation is collapsing because of people like McCarthy, Ryan, Pelosi, Schumer, and McConnell, and Kilmeade rudely condemns one of few people trying to resolve the problems.
“Artificial Intelligence” is not intelligent. ChatGPT merely scours the Internet in response to a request and comes up with text based on what it filters from various web sites. Not surprisingly, ChatGPT tends to provide information that sounds like it has been written by leftists, because it apparently ignores information from many “non-progressive” sites.
“[There is now] an acute and immediate need to construct physical barriers.” – DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, unable to summon the courage to use the words “border wall”
“The [Biden-controlled] Office of Special Counsel is not only investigating Joe Biden’s mishandling of classified documents, but it’s also investigating Hunter Biden.”
Many people are opposed to the death penalty because they claim it does not deter murder. Those same people do not drive 20 miles per hour over the speed limit because they are deterred by a fine. Of course, fines, prison sentences, and the death penalty do indeed deter criminals. The problem is that many people believe they can evade that punishment – and they are often right.
Russia has fewer than 10 military bases around the world. The U.S. has about 750 in 80 different countries. Yet the warmongering neocons in D.C. and the media call Russia the aggressor for wanting Ukraine to end its 8-year (2014-2021) persecution and killing of Russian-speaking citizens in the south and east of Ukraine.
“People willing to trade their freedom for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both.” ― Benjamin Franklin
When a New York Times headline ends with, “officials say,” that means the author of the article is a CIA stenographer.
“The ridiculous Mark Milley, basically Alexander von Sausage Vindman with more stars, waddled his way up to a podium to retire the other day. He’s a freaking disgrace to the uniform. This is the guy who wanted to know what ‘white rage’ was in front of one audience, but in front of another denied that he knew what woke is. I wonder if they really think their soldiers are stupid enough not to know when they’re being lied to. Well, our troops are not that dumb. And they certainly know when their lives are being squandered, as 13 of them were in Kabul.”
“When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.” ― Frédéric Bastiat, French economist
“Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket.” – Eric Hoffer
How many D.I.E. hires does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Oh, wait... make that 4,018. I forgot the blind, Peruvian-American, albino quadriplegic.

October 4, 2023:

Kevin McCarthy may no longer be Speaker of the House or leader of the Republican Caucus, but he remains in good standing as a leader in the Bipartisan Big-Spenders Caucus.
“If our leaders had any sense, they would be looking for a peaceful way out of this mess while it is still possible

Because Ukraine is not going to defeat Russia, and the Russians are not going to back down.”
The average age of Ukrainian soldiers on the front lines is over 40. Zelenskyy is running out of young soldiers to throw not the meat grinder.
“The shocking next chapter is that Zelensky will soon be hiding out in Costa Rica and the Kiev caretakers will sue for peace, yet America’s homeland security will be no worse for the wear. When it comes to the latter, the impending partition of the Russian- and non-Russian- speaking peoples of this woebegone land will prove to be of no more moment than the 1993 divorce of the nearby Slovaks and Czechs.”
 
“In a word, risking everything to get Ukraine into an obsolete NATO alliance that was and remains long past its ‘sell-by’ date is surely one of the stupidest acts of foreign policy in all of American history.”

October 3, 2023:

THIS MAY BE VERY IMPORTANT:
 
If Donald Trump were to be elected Speaker of the House (the Speaker does not have to be a sitting Congressman), this may come in handy:
 
“Members of the United States Congress enjoy a similar parliamentary privilege as members of the British Parliament; that is, they cannot be prosecuted for anything they say on the floor of the House or Senate. They also enjoy the right to be present in Congress: that is, they may be in prison or jail the rest of the time, but they have the right to attend congressional sessions, speak on the floor, vote, etc. These rights are specified in the Constitution and have been fairly uncontroversial in U.S. history. Courts have consistently interpreted them very narrowly.” – Wikipedia, Parliamentary Immunity
The RINOs and deep-staters are out in full force tonight, all either wetting their pants or up in arms over the ouster of Kevin McCarthy - who never turned down a chance to cooperate or compromise with the Democrats. We are indeed stuck with a "uniparty."
With Kevin McCarthy removed from the Speaker position, now might be a good time to remove Ronna Romney McDaniel as head of the Republican National Committee.
I don't mind getting old, but whenever I get something new (car, lawnmower, computer, etc.) I always wonder if that is the last new one I will ever buy!
“The child was taken under circumstances that lead police to believe that they are in imminent danger of serious harm and/or death.”
 
Luckily, the 9-year-old girl was found and is safe, and a suspect is in custody. But why was a 9-year-old girl described as a “they” in the Amber Alert?
It took almost 200 years for the national debt to reach $1 trillion. The debt now exceeds $33 trillion and the government is adding about $2 trillion each year. There will eventually be a monumental collapse and tremendous suffering.
 
Don’t blame me. I vote Libertarian.
The national debt now exceeds the nation’s gross domestic product. Some argue that is not a threat because, after all, many American households have outstanding mortgage balances that exceed their annual income. Yes, a family that has an annual income of $80,000 might have a $200,000 mortgage, and $200,000 is far greater than $80,000, but the family’s income is likely to increase each year while the mortgage balance will decrease. That is not the case with the federal government, because it continues to add to the debt each year—and that increase in debt typically exceeds any increase in tax revenue for that year. The federal government keeps digging the hole deeper, and no one is going to come to the rescue with a $33 trillion ladder.
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) wants every American to turn in their gasoline-powered cars to the government by 2030 to have them destroyed. They should then buy electric vehicles.
 
Does she not realize that the nation does not have any solar-powered or wind-powered machines capable of chopping up those 200+ million vehicles? Even if they existed, where would the debris go? Landfills? Further, 200 million+ new electric vehicles would “only” cost consumers $10+ trillion or so. No problem! Just add that to the $1 trillion or so in consumer credit card debt!
Anyone who agreed to extend current federal spending levels for 45 days is not a conservative. It seems that all but about 20 members of the House and about 10 in the Senate are anything but conservative. Of the 535 people serving in Congress only about 30 are actually serving the nation's interests. The rest are serving themselves, their stock portfolios, and the defense and banking industries.
If Kevin McCarthy made a deal with Joe Biden to protect Hunter (and thereby protecting Joe as well), then McCarthy should not only be removed from his Speaker position he should be expelled from Congress.

October 2, 2023:

In the original story, Pandora’s box was actually a jar.
You can’t yell fire in a crowded movie theater... but you can apparently pull a fire alarm in a government building occupied by 535 members of the House and the Senate (if you are a Democrat).
I'll bet the name Benjamin A. Smith (1916-1991) gets more Google searches today than it has in a long time.

And poor Karine Jean Pierre... she is no longer on top of the black lesbian pyramid!
One of the talking heads on Newsmax commented this morning that the House Republicans have to compromise because they have only a four or five vote advantage. What a cowardly and defeatist attitude! If the Democrats had a mere one vote advantage they would pass every damn bill they wanted.
 
“The real money is not in the vaccines. It’s in the remedies being sold for the injuries from the vaccines.” – Robert F. Kennedy. Jr.

I look forward to the coming Netflix movie, "Escape From The Vestibule!"
“[I]t seemed clear to me this was not a part of my life she had any interest in sharing.”
Give them $25 per hour and the result will be people re-learning how to make their own waffles, eggs, and pancakes at home.
If we had a war, I'd rather share a foxhole with them than with David Hogg and Dylan Mulvaney!

MSNBC’s Alicia Menendez is the daughter of corrupt Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ).
I refuse to vote for anyone who mispronounces the words nuclear, pundit, realtor, and insurance, and who does not know the difference between a podium (which you stand on) and a lectern (which you stand behind).
Evil men start wars. Brave men win wars. Great men prevent wars.
John Kerry’s daughter looks like the child of Kerry and Celine Dion.
