‘I prefer high gas prices’​

“I prefer high gas prices,” says the bureaucrat, desperately supporting the painful Biden Administration economy that POTUS seems to be trying to downplay. No really, if gas prices are higher, the commoners will be forced to drive less and unicorns will appear in the land of green fields and everlasting rainbows.

I prefer high gas prices = less driving, less CO2 https://t.co/zjYkqyT2LI

Bring on the ratio. No one *wants* to personally pay more for gas, do they? Side note, it is possible to take it upon yourself to drive less if you want to save the environment no matter what the gas prices are.

Biden admin says climate change can ‘force’ military intervention​

John Kirby, Coordinator for Strategic Communications at the National Security Council, said during a press conference that climate change is a “driver of actual missions” because it creates “instability” and “insecurity.”

“It’s a driver of actual missions, because climate change creates instability, which creates insecurity in some places. And you can end up — the fighting in Syria started, really, as a result of a drought. And so, there’s — there’s a — it can actually drive military missions and force the military to become involved in places and at times where they wouldn’t have had to otherwise,” Kirby said.

Kirby said climate change impacts the U.S. military’s readiness “because our — our troops, our sailors, our Marines, our airmen, our Coast Guardsmen are being called out for — to respond to natural disasters, which are getting worse because of climate change.”

He also claimed that climate change can “affect our infrastructure,” adding that military bases like Norfolk Naval Base have invested “millions of dollars to try to improve their infrastructure because of rising sea levels.”

“So it has an impact on our infrastructure. It has an impact on our readiness, because you — and you’re seeing it now, even in the wildfires, where so many National Guardsmen are being called out,” Kirby said. “And — and God love them for that, but they’re — those are important tasks and missions, but it takes away from other tasks and missions when it comes to defending the United States.”

Kirby said President Biden believes climate change is a “very important issue for our own national security.”

“And we’re going to — we’re going to treat it that way,” he concluded.

“Racist terms have no place in our vernacular or on our federal lands,” Haaland said in November 2021. “Our nation’s lands and waters should be places to celebrate the outdoors and our shared cultural heritage — not to perpetuate the legacies of oppression.”

Abenaki scholar Marge Bruchac has argued that squaw is not offensive in and of itself unless it is intended to be so.

“…When I hear it spoken by Native peoples, in its proper context, I hear the voices of the ancestors. I am reminded of powerful grandmothers who nurtured our people and fed the strangers, of proud women chiefs who stood up against them, and of mothers and daughters and sisters who still stand here today,” she wrote in 1999. “In their honor I demand that our language, and our women, and our history, be treated with respect.”

The Interior Department also noted that the agency has undergone steps to remove offensive language in the past.

“Derogatory names have previously been identified by the Secretary of the Interior or the Board on Geographic Names and have been comprehensively replaced,” the agency said in a press release. “In 1962, Secretary Stewart Udall identified the N-word as derogatory, and directed that the BGN develop a policy to eliminate its use. In 1974, the Board on Geographic Names identified a pejorative term for ‘Japanese’ as derogatory and eliminated its use.”

Two Arrested During Protest Accusing Sesame Place Theme Park of Racism​

The protest was spurred by a video posted to social media last week.

The video shared by a person named Jodi on social media shows her two daughters excitedly greeting characters as they parade through the popular theme park.

The mother of two little girls was furious after the costumed character was seen high fiving or hugging white kids, but when the actor got to her kids, he or she just walked on by without interacting with the little girls.

“THIS DISGUSTING person blatantly told our kids NO then proceeded to hug the little white girl next to us! Then when I went to complain about it, they looking at me like I’m crazy,” the mother wrote about her experience.

Sesame Place released a statement claiming that the incident was a result of a misunderstanding.

“Our brand, our park and our employees stand for inclusivity and equality in all forms,” the statement read. “Regarding the incident yesterday, the costumes our performers wear sometimes make it difficult to see at lower levels and sometimes our performers miss hug requests from guests.”

“The performer portraying the Rosita character has confirmed that the ‘no’ hand gesture seen several times in the video was not directed to any specific person, rather it was a response to multiple requests from someone in the crowd who asked Rosita to hold their child for a photo which is not permitted.”

The park added that they apologized at the time to the guest and offered to have her children meet the characters in a special meet and greet.

The park also later promised to give employees “bias training” to mitigate any future problems.

Marcus Tullius Cicero:​

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.​

Left’s Latest Health Care Scheme Will Worsen Inflation, The Deficit, And Your Insurance​

While the report claims that on net, extending the subsidies would reduce the number of uninsured by 2.2 million, CBO also notes that the number of people with employer-sponsored coverage would decline by a greater number — 2.3 million people in total. In addition, enrollment in government plans like Medicaid would increase by 200,000.

Why would these changes take place? The budget agencies believe that the richer subsidies would encourage at least some employers to stop offering health coverage to their workers:

The estimated reduction in employment-based coverage and the increase in Medicaid and [State Children’s Health Insurance Program] enrollment are driven primarily by a reduction in offers of employment-based coverage that would result from the enhanced marketplace subsidies…. The estimated effect on the number of people with employment-based coverage is larger for a permanent extension than is the case for the enhanced subsidies in place for 2021 and 2022 because the agencies estimate that few employers changed their decision to offer health insurance given the temporary nature of the enhanced subsidy. [Emphasis mine.]

Some reports suggest that Democrats may try to extend the enhanced Obamacare subsidies for “only” an additional two years. But CBO notes that any attempt to make the subsidies closer to permanent — and even another “temporary” extension may qualify — could cause employers to drop coverage and dump their workers into the Obamacare exchanges.

Big Increase in Welfare Spending​

Of the total $248 billion net deficit impact from a subsidy extension over the next 10 years, fully $181.4 billion comes from outlay effects on the federal budget. By contrast, only $66.5 billion of the deficit impact stems from lower federal revenues.

To put it in plain English: Nearly three-quarters of the budgetary impact of a permanent subsidy extension would come from the federal government writing checks for people over and above any income tax liability they owe. While the left likes to call the Obamacare insurance subsidies “tax credits,” the CBO report demonstrates that, in the vast majority of cases, these subsidies represent pure welfare spending on behalf of exchange enrollees.

How Desperate Are the Dems? Bring on the Biden Bot Farms!​

Now if we look at that, the phrasing is rather odd. If you were an American citizen, you would know we only have one at a time, so you wouldn’t be terming him as “one of the best” in the country “right now.” “He needs time to do this.” Do what? Well, when you don’t live here, you don’t know. Make inflation worse? He’s certainly done that.

As our friends at Twitchy observed, there are a bunch of “honest US citizens” out there.




“Honest US citizens” — who allegedly live in England or have Indian flags in their profiles. You might want to clean up the profiles if you’re truly trying to make them seem like U.S. citizens.

Gas too expensive? Well, prices are dropping and pay no attention to the fact that the current administration, with their dismal policy failures, drove them higher than any previous administration. Sure, we made the problem, but the problem isn’t as bad as the first problem we made. Be grateful!

Food prices got you stressed? Don’t think about it as having less, think about it as saving the environment and getting a jump on preparations for the New World Order, where bugs will be the popular, sustainable food option and eating meat will be considered as gauche as smoking tobacco. We’re starting you on the path to the future!

Inflation eating up the bump in pay you got as the job market struggled to retain workers? At least you got a pay raise. It doesn’t matter if you pay more for everything else, rendering the raise not just useless, but sometimes bringing a negative result if it bumps you into the next bracket. Don’t think about that. Think about the rising numbers on your paycheck, not the ones on your bills. After all, what is a bill but a sum of money that the government doesn’t give a rip about? You’ll figure it out!

The President – it’s hard to even say that, knowing he doesn’t control much around him these days – has no interest in the incredible struggles average Americans are experiencing these days. He and Dr.Jill thought the mere fact that they were not Trump would be enough to lift them to the legacy status of the Obamas. They didn’t consider that people would actually experience the real-world consequences of their utterly ridiculous, made-up policy. They didn’t count on those consequences being so obvious that even the true believers would notice it.

So what else is there to do? They have to tell us the sky is green, the economy is booming, and you’ve never been happier…you just haven’t noticed yet.

We need prosperity, but instead they line our pockets with lies.

How Do We Know if We’re in a Recession?​

Some voices from the right have accused the Biden administration of trying to “redefine” how a recession is measured. How will we know if the U.S. economy has entered a recession?

The debate around defining recessions kicked off with a White House blog post from July 21 which said the common definition — two consecutive quarters of GDP contraction — was “neither the official definition nor the way economists evaluate the state of the business cycle.” Instead, the White House pointed to the measure used by the National Bureau of Economic Research: “a significant decline in economic activity that is spread across the economy and that lasts more than a few months.”

Several voices in the Biden administration have argued that the U.S. economy remains relatively strong despite inflation, pointing to low unemployment and other factors. However, GDP contracted at an annual rate of 1.6% in the first quarter of 2022, and second quarter GDP data is expected Thursday. If GDP contracted again, that could put the common recession definition at odds with the official economic definition.

Perspectives on measuring recessions often aligned with partisan biases. While a Washington Examiner (Lean Right bias) editorial firmly argued that the “true standard” of a recession was two consecutive quarters of GDP contraction, an analysis in The New York Times (Lean Left bias) said this definition was “unofficial” and instead pointed to the formal economic definition.

Isn't there a study out now, that COVID lockdowns did more harm to the climate warming, then anything else we have done?? NOT releasing emissions that are "earth cooling" actually warmed the earth more.. so telling us NOT to drive is doing more harm to the climate. Think they noticed the same thing days after 9/11, lack of airplanes in the sky, lack of contrails.. added to the warming of at least our continent. It would look to be not a major temp increase, other than taking into account it happened in about 48 hours.

Those damn fossil fuels are preventing our extinction that AOC warned us about.. so get out there and burn up some oil and petrol, do your part to save your planet.

But church members wanted to do more than just protect their building. They wanted to love their neighbors. Thus, they asked Portland Rescue Mission, a nonprofit that works with the homeless, for guidance on the best way to minister to the people who frequent the drug camp. “We want to help people who need help. And we wanted to have the right attitude about it,” insisted Bradshaw.

Portland Rescue Mission evaluated the camp but concluded it was purely a site for drug use. Unlike some homeless encampments, no one lived there. Bradshaw recounts that Portland Rescue Mission sent the church an email that said, “We’ve been doing an assessment of that homeless encampment. And, in our view, the best thing you can do is get them to leave because they’re dangerous. They’re not interested in getting help. And it’s not safe for you or the community to have a homeless encampment of that nature.”

In Portland, the police have the legal power to remove — or “sweep” — a homeless encampment that is located on public property. However, this was not a straightforward situation where the church could contact the police and set a date.

Police efforts to sweep homeless encampments are sometimes frustrated by homeless advocacy groups. These groups see sweeping as cruel and inhumane. If they find out about a sweep, they turn up to protest. “Our street behind our church and another section in Portland are two hot spots for shootings. And the police have a hard time dealing with the other hotspot because there are activists in that area,” Bradshaw said.

‘That Is Not What I Asked’: Fox’s Neil Cavuto Interjects After Rep. Rho Khanna Dodges On Recession​

Khanna said he will wait for economists to determine whether the nation is in a recession, given that there are several factors at play, including the job market and the unemployment rate.

“It’s the economists who officially declare that,” the representative said. “I will acknowledge that GDP growth has slowed and that we’re in a difficult economic time and I’ll acknowledge that we have inflation and we’ve got the FED [Federal Reserve] increasing interest rates.”

“That’s not what I asked,” Cavuto said. “It wasn’t slow, it contracted, so it went the other way because it wasn’t slowing, it was contracting. So we have two back-to-back quarters of that. That is the classic, you’re quite right, not the only definition of a recession, but do you, when you go back to your constituents, ‘guys, we’re in a recession. We’re gonna get out of it, but we’re in a recession right now.’ What do you tell them?”

If there is something big coming up, something important and the President cannot go to a foreign country it is usually the job of the Vice President to represent us. Not the Speaker of the House . Why would anyone send this demented old hag to represent us instead of the VP.? Well the VP is IMO incompetent and totally ill equipped to represent the United States, but is Nancy Pelosi any better?


Yes' The United States is a basket case, the liberals put us in this position and they appear to be enjoying it.
But damn 2 more years of these idiots running our country.

How Would Democrats’ Climate Change Bill Cut Carbon Emissions?​

Headline Roundup July 29th, 2022​

Senate Democrats say their compromise climate-healthcare-tax bill, dubbed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, aims to cut U.S. carbon emissions by 40% by 2030.

The bill includes roughly $380 billion of tax credits and spending focused on climate change measures — like incentives for battery manufacturing, domestic mining for green energy materials, and renewable energy projects, including nuclear energy. The bill also includes incentives for households to switch to electric vehicles, including a $4,000 tax credit for buying used electric cars. Furthermore, part of the bill’s estimated $739 billion in tax revenues would come from fees on methane emissions.

Coverage in left-rated outlets often framed the bill as positive and highly consequential; The New York Times (Lean Left bias) said the deal “almost instantly reset the role of the United States in the global effort to fight climate change,” Iand CNN (Left bias) called it the “biggest legislative climate investment in US history.” Coverage from the left was also more likely to feature charts or other visualizations of the bill’s proposals.

Meanwhile, coverage from the right was often skeptical or critical of the bill. Fox News (Right bias) called the deal “the Manchin-Schumer tax hike and climate change bill” and highlighted how Democrats previously wanted to spend even more. Several opinions from the right called Democrats “delusional” or “insidious” for taxing businesses or purportedly trying to “hurt Americans who live in coal-rich states.”

It will have ZERO impact on the climate.. but you can bet, when the cycle naturally reverses, they will scream from the mountain tops that they saved all humanity!! Yet won't be able to point to a single variable that had improved around the globe.
