Welcome Back, Carter?

Original Article

Posted By: Magnante, 5/12/2021 3:22:01 AM

Welcome back, Carter. Anyone want to party like it’s 1979? Okay, at least in 1979 we weren’t locked down, masked up, and socially distanced. But, other than that, there wasn’t much to celebrate. The economy was in the tank, inflation was rampant, gas lines were long, daubers were down, and no one in the White House knew what to do about any of it. A new term had to be coined for something thought impossible/oxymoronic…”stagflation.” Yes, even as the economy was slowing down, inflation was rampant, an unprecedented pairing of economic indicators.

The article sites the current jobs status as "rising unemployment in a time of acute labor shortage." Only a Marxist could achieve that. Liberals would f-up a one car funeral.

Things are worse now than under Carter. Traditional morality has collapsed. And the Left has become more tyrannical.

Carters results were the result of incompetence and ill formed idealism of old liberals and sixties radicals who may or may not have comprehended the Marxist underpinnings of their agenda. Biden is a mere figurehead for the very deliberate Marxist radicals whose committee includes Obama Kerry PIAPS , Ayers long term Rockefeller Bush Romney globalists, the CCP owned and funded Oligarchs. They hate America, freedom and God. This cancer is far more dangerous than Carter.

Biden likes to pretend he is the second coming of FDR. But, even FDR managed to do things right on occasions. It was only after the news reports of his visit with Jimmy Carter that I realized the President that Biden truly resembles. It takes a special talent to implement policies that can simultaneously produce economic recession and runaway inflation. Yet Jimmy did it! Now Biden is well on his way to outdoing Carter by his huge, wasteful spend, punitive taxes and irrational energy policies.

Two things 1. I'm convinced that Biden's trip to visit Carter was to tell him, "Don't worry, man. I'm going to make sure you don't go down in history as the worst president ever. I got this!' 2. FTA: ..."and no one in the White House knew what to do about any of it." Ahhh...if that were really the case...Joe may have no idea what is going on (how could he, he has dementia) but the people pulling the levers of power in the White House are doing this all be design. And it clearly it appears that the Fed is fully on board with the plan.

During the first gas shortage, my son was just an infant (he's 47 now). I'd put him in bed with his dad at 5:00 a.m., take our car to the Shell station near us, wait in line and get our auto filled up. They'd both be up and dressed when I got home an hour or so later. I know Jimmy Carter is glad Biden took his ''worst president'' title from him.

In a bizarre “Complaint” filed against recently-elected Vermont School Board member Elizabeth Cady, two citizens allege Cady’s inquiries about the introduction of Critical Race Theory (CRT) constitute a “clear breach” of School Board Operations Policy. As in many states, this controversial ideology is seeping into Vermont’s curricula. Cady’s case is instructive of the coercive pressure exerted by CRT radicals against those who dare question the hasty implementation of this novel, race-based “theory.” Laura Taylor and Emily Franz allege that Cady “gave the impression that… she would represent special interests or partisan politics for personal gain.” No monetary “personal gain” is identified.

How White Leftist Politicians and Hipsters

Posted by Magnante 5/11/2021 4:09:10 AM Post Reply
White leftist politicians and hipsters have already killed wokeness in American culture. They just don’t know it yet. There’s been this repeating cultural joke occurring throughout my lifetime that, for some reason, never seems to be recognized by those who are ridiculed by its many iterations. That is, when liberal white hipsters adopt any cultural fad, they manage to end the fad by making it spectacularly unpopular in no time flat. A terrific modern example of this might be liberal white hipsters co-opting fashion and social trends that were prominent in gay culture in the early aughts.

“More than any other single living American, Tony Fauci is responsible for the Covid-19 pandemic.” With these bold words, the most popular commentator on cable news threw down the gauntlet on a man all but sainted by the corporate media. Drawing on the work of Nicholas Wade, who for decades edited the Science section of the New York Times, Tucker pointed out that Dr. Anthony Fauci (the highest-paid employee of the federal government) personally overrode a federal ban on gain of function research that makes pathogens more deadly and more transmissible, and funded such research at a facility linked to the Chinese military.

For those conservatives already put off by Disney’s using its forum with children to indoctrinate them into alternative sexualities, the company had a further fall from grace this past weekend, Christopher Rufo, who is now the godfather of the fight against the racist Critical Race Theory used internal documents from the Disney Corporation to reveal that it has gone all-in on this theory, a cross between Marxism and the vilest eugenics Democrats produced in the early 20th century – only this time, the target is Whites, not Blacks. It turns out Disney had the capacity to fall still further because its response was to deny what the documents clearly said.

There is nothing that makes a happier Mother's Day for this mother than enjoying an ad that attacks leftists right in their smuggest spot, which is their disdain for Southern states and Southern education. In Minneapolis, an organization called TakeCharge Minnesota placed an ad in the local paper exposing just how bad their schools are compared to those in the South. One of the constants about leftists is the sneering disdain they have for Southerners — and the deeper south one goes, the greater the leftists' disdain.

House Republicans planted themselves firmly in the camp of Donald Trump on Wednesday when they removed Rep. Liz Cheney from their leadership team after her criticism of the former president. In a closed-door meeting in the basement of the Capitol, Republicans voted to oust Cheney after she repeatedly called out Trump's false claims he won the election and criticized his role in the January 6 insurrection. After a voice vote, Cheney said: ‘I will do everything I can to ensure that the former president never again, is anywhere near the Oval Office.’ Cheney had addressed Republicans in the room before the vote.

Colonial Pipeline Co. paid the group that hacked its pipeline a nearly $5 million ransom in untraceable cryptocurrency within hours of the cyberattack, two people familiar with the payment told Bloomberg on Thursday. The report contradicts Colonial’s public assertion that it did not pay the hacking group Darkside ransom following the cyberattack. A third person familiar with the ransom said the U.S. government is aware Colonial paid Darkside. Colonial declined Bloomberg‘s request for comment. The attack forced Colonial to temporarily shut down much of its services, causing gas shortages and rising prices across the east coast.
