Will Hunter’s Father Cave to Communists?

oe Biden and his media coterie are intensely focused these days on the soap opera playing out on Capitol Hill. Will Joe Manchin stand firm in the face of presidential pressures?

Americans’ economic confidence, which surged on the hopeful arrival of a new president in January, has now fallen sharply back, given the stark realities of Joe Biden’s new administration. Gallup’s Economic Confidence Index started to dip in August, and then fell further this month. [Snip], A number of factors have combined to drive down economic confidence from the optimistic days surrounding Biden’s inauguration in January. A resurgent virus causes concerns. Among other major reasons are
It was a Monday many years ago, a regular office writing day for me in my newspaper’s San Francisco office. Wally Turner, the veteran bureau chief who had sources planted all over his city, suddenly appeared in my door. “Another woman tried to shoot President Ford,” he said. “Here’s her address.” The modest apartment building was nearby. I knocked on the superintendent’s door. “Hello,” I said in my most innocent voice. “I’d like to see Sara Jane Moore’s apartment.” He asked why. I said I’d heard it might be available soon. The superintendent had not heard that, but
Many of us remember the big stink that Joe Biden made last year when he bothered to campaign about how the Democrat would treat America’s allies so much better than that loudmouth Donald Trump who was always talking about America First. [Snip] when the president of a long-time democratic ally and an economic powerhouse, especially one from Asia where signs of respect are so revered and expected, personally gets involved in the return of soldiers’ remains, it’s a pretty big deal. Or should be. The Biden administration, however, sent no one to the ceremony, which
When I was a little boy, my parents and I took the ocean ferry out to Nantucket one blustery summer day. My father had me make a handwritten note with my address. We put it in an empty wine bottle, corked it good and tight, and walked back to the stern where the propellers were churning the saltwater with thunder. I looked out on the vast water then, and for the very first time in my short life, I could see no land. Dad said to lob the bottle off to the side. [Snip] I have no recollection that we ever heard anything back. Turns out, that’s not the point.
The biggest, most-discussed and arguably, most important national political question for the next couple of years is: Will Donald Trump run to regain the White House in 2024? He likes it that way. So, there is no real incentive for No. 45 to announce a decision about seeking to become No. 47 before, say, early 2023. In fact, he can avoid certain fundraising rules and protocols by leaving the issue open. And then there’s the uncertainty of legal actions against him. Long campaigns have become
A team of New York Times reporters has closely examined Joe Biden’s thoroughly botched Afghan troop withdrawal and his tardy, aborted evacuation efforts that left thousands abandoned behind and professes to see in the Democrat’s halting series of decisions a promising new Biden Doctrine of foreign policy. God help us if they’re correct.
Joe Biden went on vacation again. So, maybe his minions spared him from marking the Labor Day holiday with the newest set of job statistics that he should hope he’s not judged on soon.
The numbers were awful. [Snip] Contrast that with Biden’s record over these past 230 days: Dozens of executive orders, basically undoing many of Trump’s executive orders, and a $1.9 trillion virus relief bill that included $300 unemployment supplements and up to $1,400 checks to individuals. Biden assured fully-vaccinated Americans as recently as July they need not

My unelected parents dictated the rules of my youthful world like China’s Communists, if I had known anything about those people in that faraway place who were fighting a revolution there at the very same time in the 1940s.
We had clear one-party rule in our house — two members of the National League of Parental Unity (NLPU) and me, a one-person proletariat. Its self-appointed ruling presidium of two actually and ruthlessly restricted and even censored my TV screen time with firm, non-negotiable limits. Like China’s Communist Party just did for all video-game players among the younger folks in that country’s 1.4 billion population
Even if he does have a little ear-bud feeding him words to say from a nearby room, Joe Biden doesn’t seem to know or remember quite a few things these days. Like the names of people standing right next to him or what you call that immense, five-sided building over in Virginia, you know, where all those military people are.
But one thing Joe Biden is absolutely certain about, when he can express a coherent thought, is that he must get all U.S. troops out of Afghanistan this week — because his mouthy predecessor signed an agreement with the Taliban. Biden is equally
Word out of the White House this week is that Joe Biden, or at least his handlers, intend to recapture the narrative on his colossal Afghan exit screw-up. Good luck with that tardy effort. It’s as if saying something in Washington, even without attribution, makes it so in this White House wonderland. [Snip] News Flash: The evacuation narrative train left the Kabul station more than a week ago when U.S. troops were finally gone, the Taliban was all over but so were countless thousands of Americans and Afghan allies. But the reality won’t stop this president from

Biden Really Should Know 11 replies
They squat on the roadside, feet filthy in broken sandals, eyes empty, faces averted. Their belongings are few. Most were abandoned on their long flight from fear. Or stolen at gunpoint by armed marauders. Comfort to these lost souls is a foreign word. Hoping seems dangerous. They try to forget sights they’ve seen. They have no idea where they’re going. The scenes you see these days on TV of refugees in Afghanistan or Syria or anywhere convulsed by war are truly awful. [Snip]
But, honestly, the terrible scenes of death and fear and children lost to families are nowhere near the truth on-site.

Moving on Up: LA and Seattle Homeless

Will Be Relocated to Taxpayer-Funded Luxury Apartments 45 replies
Three glistening new buildings in downtown Seattle with 165 studio apartments — originally to be rented at market rates — will instead house the homeless.
The Low Income Housing Institute (LIHI) is buying the buildings with taxpayer dollars for about $50 million, with federal COVID-19 relief funds splitting the cost equally. Seattle City Hall is contributing about $25 million, while also using “American Rescue Plan Act” funds. A large portion comes from Washington State’s Department of Commerce.
Left-wing Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan, so unpopular she can’t run for re-election, claims the deals will house people quickly and cheaply, compared to the time and cost required to develop similar projects from scratch.
One of Colorado’s largest hospital systems has implemented a new policy that denies organ transplants to patients who have not taken the experimental Covid-19 vaccine under “almost all situations.”All organ donors will also have to be vaccinated under the new policy, and it has already stopped one woman from receiving the life-saving treatment she needs.Last month, the University of Colorado Health sent a letter to Leilani Lutali informing her that her status on the waiting list for a kidney transplant was “inactivated” for “non-compliance” because she has chosen not to take the jab.
Coweta County, GA – An alleged home intruder wanted on multiple warrants was found dead on the front porch of a residence after he broke into a house and was mauled to death by two dogs, according to police. Coweta County sheriff’s deputies were called to a residence on Walt Sanders Road off of North Highway 29 at approximately 10:30 a.m. on Sept. 24 after the homeowner returned to his house and found a man dead on his porch, The Newnan Times-Herald reported. The deceased man was later identified as 21-year-old Alex Binyam Abraha, an Atlanta resident who was wanted on multiple warrants out of Fulton County, according to WTVT.

HOWELL, MI -- President Joe Biden saw a clear message from the window of his motorcade while driving to an event in Howell on Tuesday.
“F*** Biden” was visible on flags and signs carried by a crowd of protesters gathered along M-59 in Livingston County, a deeply conservative part of the state. U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Holly, said she was “embarrassed” by the profane message as she sat next to the president, who pointed out the signs as they passed by the rally.
Biden is Brewing a National Crisis

Have we ever had a president who in mere months made so many dumb, intemperate decisions, thereby precipitating major crises? You’d think that the Afghanistan and border fiascos would suffice for one four-year term. But the smart money is that we haven’t seen the last of Biden-manufactured crises. Biden is a nightmare version of Pig-Pen of the Peanuts comic strip.. A perpetual cloud of incompetence, conceits, corruption, and shabby political motives swirls around him. (snip) As Niall Stanage of the Hill put it, “President Biden’s biggest vulnerability isn’t any single issue. It’s the risk that he could be seen as losing control of events.”

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki attempted to walk back a statement by presidential climate envoy John Kerry which claimed President Joe Biden "had not been aware of what had transpired" following a submarine deal with Australia that upset the French. "Of course he was aware of the French being upset," Psaki said in response to a question on the matter from Fox News' Peter Doocy. "He of course was aware, the president, of the French being displeased about the deal with the Australians. John Kerry also speaks regularly to the French as part of his role as the climate envoy. He's someone who also served as Secretary of State."
Doctors are getting angry at their patients

One of the more bizarre twists in the saga of the COVID pandemic has been doctors growing increasingly frustrated and even angry with patients asking for medical treatment rather than wholesale vaccination. (snip) Some patients take exception to this approach and ask for ivermectin, which is being used outside of the United States to treat early COVID. There is a significantly lower incidence of serious cases of COVID in countries that use ivermectin for early exposures.
Doctors are not taking kindly to the suggestion that patients should have access to medication that can prevent serious illness. They are denouncing ivermectin as a veterinary drug
Is it really a surprise that a formal move toward police repression of its political opponents – siccing the FBI on critics of Critical Race Theory – is coming from the chief law enforcement officer of the Biden regime? The latest polling indicates that the already low public approval of the Biden presidency is declining further.
The prospects for any improvement in these numbers are poor. (snip) The term “crisis of confidence” has been in play for at least a month (snip) More than half of Americans say 55 - 42 percent that the Biden administration is not competent in running the government.
A district court judge issued a Temporary Restraining Order blocking Texas S.B. 8 abortion law on Wednesday, finding in favor of the U.S. Department of Justice, which had sought the order to block the law from going into effect. "A person’s right under the Constitution to choose to obtain an abortion prior to fetal viability is well established. Fully aware that depriving its citizens of this right by direct state action would be flagrantly unconstitutional, the State contrived an unprecedented and transparent statutory scheme to do just that," U.S. District Judge Robert Pittman, of the Western District of Texas, Austin Division, wrote in a 113-page ruling.
The movement has started and it’s happening in the so-called “blue states”, New York fans at Fenway also chanted “F*ck Joe Biden last night!”
A baseball Karen called the entire stand who chanted “F*ck Joe Biden” racist, but the people around her gave a her a serious reality check!
White House Weaponizes DOJ Against Parents
25 replies
It should be obvious that no sane parent would ever allow ideology to supersede the proper education of her children. Yet, during the past year, it has become equally clear that many of the nation’s school systems are indoctrinating students using politically tendentious curricula that most of the public considers . . . well . . . insane. This has resulted in widespread protests by parents of all political persuasions to which school boards have responded with stunning hostility. The magnitude of this animus was revealed this week when the National School Boards Association (NSBA) equated parents with “domestic terrorists,” and the Biden administration directed the FBI to investigate them.
