  1. What a really weird country this has become!

    Like something out of National Lampoon!

    Keep these stories coming, because any more, this thread seems like the only sane place left in America!

  2. Thank you. Well written.
    As soon as the local far left read the first few sentences, they heard the sheep calling. They could be seen running out to join the flock and continue their stroll into oblivion.

  3. CCM: If the federal government actually needed more revenue, they would stop sending billions to Ukraine every week instead of raising our taxes.

    We just sent another $2.6 billion to Ukraine this week.

    ****************************************************

    This is a case of a fascist dictator in Washington, D.C. aiding his fellow fascist dictator in Ukraine the way Hitler in Germany aided his fellow fascist Mussolini in Italy.

  4. CCM: I don’t think Democrats understand that there are millions of people who support Trump who don’t even like Trump, but who voted for him because what Democrats stand for is terrifying.

    “Those who love this country must be more committed to saving our democracy than the MAGA agenda is to destroying it.”

    – extremist rhetoric from Biden.

    REALITY AS SEEN THROUGH THE EYES OF A LOYAL AMERICAN CITIZEN WHO DOES NOT LIKE ULTRA-NATIONALIST AUTOCRATS LIKE JOE BIDEN AND DOES NOT THINK WE ARE BLESSED IN ANY POSITIVE WAY TO HAVE HIM IN THE WHITE HOUSE, ESPECIALLY AFTER THAT OBSCENE AND LURID DISPLAY IN PHILADELPHIA ON 1 SEPTEMBER 2022 WHERE JOE LOOKED LIKE OUR WORST NIGHTMARE EMERGING FORM THE BOWELS OF HELL ITSELF:

    EXHIBIT A:

    “My colleagues, as you know, our nation is blessed with Joe Biden as President of the United States, he is an extraordinary President.”

    “This is a President who has a great vision for our country; we see that every day; he has vision and values that go with – he is a President who has knowledge and therefore judgments about policies that can work.”

    “So again, God has blessed us with the timing of this presidency and this person, who is just making such a tremendous difference in the lives of the American people.”

    Sept 9 (Reuters) – U.S. household wealth fell by a record $6.1 trillion in the second quarter to its lowest in a year as a bear market in stocks far outweighed further gains in real estate values, a Federal Reserve report showed on Friday.

    Through June, Americans’ collective wealth had fallen by more than $6.2 trillion from a record $150 trillion at the end of 2021.

    EXHIBIT E:

    America’s government debt is on the verge of eclipsing $31 trillion for the first time ever, even as COVID-related federal spending slows.

    Treasury Department data released late last week showed the total national debt was $30.9 trillion and on pace to hit $31 trillion as early as this month.

    The new milestone is just around the corner even as President Biden boasts about dramatic drops in the annual budget deficit – the difference between what the government spends each year and what it collects in tax revenue.

    “You know, Republicans talk about being fiscally responsible,” Biden said last week at a Democratic National Committee reception.

    “Last year, I reduced the deficit $350 billion.”

    But budget experts warn that Biden’s boast is a hollow one, and that he is simply presiding over a winding-down of emergency spending that is resulting in relatively smaller deficits.

    David Ditch, a federal budget policy analyst at the Heritage Foundation, said it’s a mistake to confuse this wind-down with fiscal responsibility.

    Instead, he noted that pressure on federal spending continues to rise in the form of recent legislation to fund the semiconductor industry, Biden’s push to forgive student loans and the pricey environment and health bill known as the Inflation Reduction Act.

  5. And the old goofball is now being pilloried by the very press which once loved him, back when that same media hated Trump, and those first three lines in the story refer directly to the role the Cape Charles Mirror plays in our lives as a grand palladium of liberty:

    THE HILL

    “Biden continues to stiff-arm the press”

    Opinion by Joe Concha, Opinion Contributor

    11 SEPTEMBER 2022

    “Journalists uncover the truth, check the abuse of power, and demand transparency from those in power.”

    “They are indispensable.”

    “And, at a time when the truth is increasingly under attack, our need for accurate, fact-based reporting, open public conversation, and accountability has never been greater.”

    That was President Biden in a statement on National Press Day not long after taking office in 2021.

    But, as we’re learning when it comes to so many things regarding the 46th president, words and deeds are two very different things.

    Joe Biden has been anything but transparent.

    And journalists seeking to uncover the truth have been shunned and ignored by this president.

    It began during the 2020 campaign, when Biden did all he could to avoid the press.

    But candidate Biden is now President Biden.

    And that kind of power requires facing the hard and pertinent questions, for example, from journalists in sit-down interviews.

    Accountability doesn’t get to hide in the basement.

    But that appears to be the strategy from the president’s handlers, who seem not to want him anywhere near this kind of setting before the midterms and likely even after.

    So, the question is: If Biden has all the momentum many in the media have been saying he has, and if he has such a winning message that is turning everything around for Democrats heading into the midterms, why hasn’t he sat down for a TV interview in more than 210 days?

    So, Biden, who refuses to speak to reporters one-on-one, is frustrated about not being able to share all the good things he says the administration has done.

    And he also says really good reporters are slaves to clicks so must sensationalize everything, so therefore he isn’t going to talk to them.

    Axios’s Jonathan Swan, who sat down with then-President Trump in August 2020, just three months before a presidential election, explained why Biden’s handlers will never agree for him to be challenged in a one-on-one interview.

    “I say this as somebody who has tried repeatedly to get a one-on-one interview with Joe Biden.”

    “He won’t do it,” Swan tweeted in July.

    “And there’s no convening power on planet earth that could compel him to do an interview that his advisers deem to be unsafe.”

    What happened to the transparency Biden promised?

    Perhaps the president’s handlers are so petrified because if Biden sat down with a decent journalist, it’s certain he would be asked how he plans on paying for this trillion-dollar student loan forgiveness program.

    Or how the $750 billion Inflation Reduction will actually reduce inflation.

    Or why he refuses to visit the U.S. Southern border as millions of migrants continue enter the country illegally, along with fentanyl, which is killing Americans at an alarming rate.

    Or – and this is a long shot given how little this is discussed and scrutinized by traditional media – about his son Hunter and the damning contents of his laptop showing alleged influence peddling-for-profit that launched a federal investigation into his dealings in China and Ukraine.

    That certainly would not go well.

    It’s been 210 days since Biden’s last interview.

    There are people who have walked across the entire continental United States in less time.

    Seven months is a very long time.

    Almost all news outlets would be up in arms if a Republican administration stiff-armed the press so blatantly.

    But a Republican administration isn’t in power.

    Free passes are all the rage, especially when it comes to Team Biden, which talks a good game about press freedom while squashing it.

  6. “U.S. August budget deficit widens from a year earlier”

    Reuters

    September 13, 2022

    Sept 13 (Reuters) – The U.S. government posted a $220 billion budget deficit for August, up 29% from the $171 billion gap reported in the same month last year, as spending on health services, education and interest on the public debt outstripped a double-digit increase in revenues, the Treasury Department said on Tuesday.

    But outlays climbed by $84 billion, or 19%, to $523 billion, leading to only the second year-over-year increase in the federal deficit so far in fiscal 2022, which ends on Sept. 30.

    The other year-over-year increase occurred in November 2021.

    The year-over-year spending increase last month was led by a $50 billion, or 153%, spike in outlays for Medicare, the health insurance program for the elderly, and a $19 billion, or 127%, jump in education spending.

    A $30 billion, or 53%, increase in interest on Treasury securities reflects the interest rate increases that have accelerated this year as the Federal Reserve has fought to contain the highest inflation in four decades.

    end quotes

    That $30 billion, or 53%, increase in interest on Treasury securities reflects the interest rate increases we are paying to the federal reserve as a FORM OF TAX over which we have absolutely no control, since the federal reserve can print money and use it to buy bonds we owe the interest on with no oversight whatsoever by our federal government, which makes that taxation without representation.

  7. This is straight out of Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, the most misunderstood book in America, where Joe Biden is our Mr. Thompson:

    “Biden administration races to avert rail shutdown, smaller union rejects deal”

    By David Shepardson and Lisa Baertlein

    September 14, 2022

    A shutdown could freeze almost 30% of U.S. cargo shipments by weight, stoke inflation, cost the U.S. economy as much as $2 billion per day and unleash a cascade of transportation woes affecting the U.S. energy, agriculture, manufacturing and retail sectors.

    The stakes are high for Biden, who has vowed to rein in soaring consumer costs ahead of November elections that will determine whether his fellow Democrats maintain control of Congress.

    Amtrak, which uses tracks maintained by freight railways, said it would cancel all long-distance trips on Thursday.

    Industry groups are calling on Congress to help, saying a rail shutdown would hit as grain farmers prepare for harvest and consumers gear up for winter weather and Christmas holiday shopping.

    Railroad customers have long complained that rail service is expensive and unreliable, with the industry’s decision to halt shipments of hazardous materials, refrigerated food and general merchandise ahead of a potential shutdown making matters worse.

    Rail hubs in Chicago and Dallas were already clogged and suffering from equipment shortages before the contract showdown.

    Those bottlenecks are backing up cargo at U.S. seaports by as much as a month.

    And, once cargo gets to rail hubs in locations such as Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City and Memphis, Tennessee, it can sit another month or longer.
