If you are among the 8 in 10 Americans who believe the economy is tanking, relax. Never mind that the consumer-price index just hit 8.6 percent. Ignore skyrocketing gas prices. Forget that the gross domestic product shrank at an annual rate of 1.5 percent in the first quarter of 2022 and is expected to shrink further. Disregard the collapsing supply chain highlighted by empty shelves in the grocery store. Dismiss the dizzying descent of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. According to the White House and the legacy media, none of these things matter. The real problem bedeviling the economy is bad vibes.

If Brandon's economic disaster wasn't so painful and causing so much damage to the most economically vulnerable, this would be very amusing. The Brandon crew seems to be be using chicken blood and bones to predict our economic future. When their Voodoo fails, they cast about, looking for evil spirits. Hysterical consumers, that's the cause not to mention the always evil spirited Republicans casting curses against Brandon and his followers. Yellen is probably busy making a Putin doll to stick pins in. The priests and priestesses of the progressive cult have started their chanting, hoping to beguile their audience. You can hear the incessant drums beating. The problem is, most of the American people are not part of the progressive faith and even those who tend to lean with interest to their economic paganism are being repelled by the administration's unfettered charge to their extremes. The progressives meanwhile religiously adhere to the tenants of their faith, no matter the repeated evidence that their gods have abandoned them, or never existed in the first place.

It is absolutely true that the economy can be talked down, dim-0s have done it many times with the help of their P.R. branch, the msm. For instance, when they wanted to oust GHW Bush, they insisted the economy was in the worst shape in history. It worked, klinton was elected, but on his first day as prez, the economy was growing at better than 4%. Conversely, on klintons last day, when they praised the economy as the best in history, we were actually in recession.

FTA: “Wasting precious dollars that could be better spent can’t possibly be worth the risk of igniting high inflation again.” High inflation is already baked into an economy that operates on government decree and fiat money handed out by government. There are a dozen other factors, but ultimately it's about fiscal policy, and the cat is out of that bag. Politicians can, as they have in the past, blame all sorts of things for inflation and other economic maladies, and claim there's nothing they can do. And "true believers" will believe. The truth is that politicians create these problems because it is better to give than receive, and blame the gods. The medicine is bitter, very bitter, the sort politicians avoid prescribing or taking. It's a recession. From Nixon to Reagan, each administration carefully avoided one and fought the Fed to ensure one did not occur. Better the devil of inflation than the satan of recession. Until Reagan and Volcker teamed up to finally get the economy back in balance the American public suffered. I expect nothing different this time around. Where will we find the next Reagan-Volcker team?

The following interview is an excerpt from Michael Pack and Mark Paoletta's new book, Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words, out from Regnery this month. It has been lightly edited for clarity. MP (Michael Pack): Would you say affirmative action is one of [those] instances where people are using racial discrimination to achieve a specific objective they think is best? CT (Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas): To be honest with you, I don't even know what "affirmative action" is. People come up with euphemisms, everybody is for something that affirmatively acts—to do what, I don't know. Most people don't know. Whatever it is, it's often defined as equal opportunity

Yet another single step of incompetence for Joe Biden and his administration, but it’s a giant leap for “incredible transitions.” The official data from the EIA will come out later this afternoon, but the Washington Post uses AAA data to declare that the inevitable has arrived. And that it will be shortly eclipsed, too:With the average price of gas nationwide topping $5 per gallon Saturday, surging fuel prices across the United States are creating new strains for millions of consumers and businesses, while compounding intractable political challenges for the Biden administration. The spike in gas, oil and diesel prices has saddled all kinds of businesses with higher costs

Why America Doesn't Trust the CDC 10 replies
Posted by Garnet 6/11/2022 11:34:05 AM Post Reply
People don't trust the CDC. Here's one example illustrating why. Two weeks ago, with no outcomes data on COVID-19 booster shots for 5-to-11-year-olds, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) vigorously recommended the booster for all 24 million American children in that age group. The CDC cited a small Pfizer study of 140 children that showed boosters elevated their antibody levels—an outcome known to be transitory. When that study concluded, a Pfizer spokesperson said it did not determine the efficacy of the booster in the 5-to-11-year-olds. But that didn't matter to the CDC. Seemingly hoping for a different answer, the agency put the matter before its own kangaroo court

During the dark hours before dawn, a man was arrested Wednesday near the home of Justice Brett Kavanaugh. The man was reportedly carrying weapons and burglary tools. He has been charged with the attempted murder of a Supreme Court justice. He told police he intended to kill Kavanaugh, motivated by the prospect of the justice’s expected votes in forthcoming abortion and Second Amendment cases. This is the latest development to follow the leak, in early May, of Justice Samuel Alito’s opinion overturning Roe v. Wade in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. Within days after the leak, activists spearheaded by a dark-money group

For anyone in doubt concerning why the Jan. 6 Select Committee scheduled Thursday’s public hearing for primetime, NBC’s Yamiche Alcindor recently provided an explanation during a discussion with Andrea Mitchell. Noting that Americans are worried about gas prices, inflation, and shortages, Alcindor admitted that the hearing is a distraction: “These lawmakers are going to try now to have a narrative to focus the country’s attention to say, ‘Look at this thing.’” Alcindor said the committee is trying to save democracy but fears the public isn’t paying attention.
Mass Shootings: The Media Misinformation Campaign 4 replies

If there is any maxim religiously observed by the corporate news media, it is this: “If it bleeds, it leads.” Moreover, if the blood in question gushes from gunshot wounds inflicted by a deranged mass murderer, the major news outlets uniformly portray the crime as evidence of an ever-increasing wave of violence caused not by criminals but by their weapons. This narrative is a textbook example of misinformation whereby news organizations studiously ignore data and definitions on mass shootings developed by Congress, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and other law enforcement sources.

The trial of Michael Sussmann is before a jury in Washington, D.C. Sussmann is the Democratic lawyer who, according to special counsel John Durham, lied to the FBI in 2016 when, working on behalf of the Hillary Clinton campaign, he tried to plant a derogatory story about Donald Trump. The hope was that the FBI would start an investigation and then the campaign conversation would be: TRUMP IS UNDER FBI INVESTIGATION!There is no doubt Sussmann lied to the FBI. There is no doubt he is guilty. But the trial is taking place in Washington, perhaps the deepest-blue jury pool in the United States.

A casual reader perusing the headlines about last Tuesday’s Georgia primaries could easily get the impression that former President Trump was running for office in the Peach State. Many corporate media outlets featured his name before identifying the actual candidates. Wednesday morning, for example, Politico ran a story titled, “Trump flops in Georgia: 5 takeaways from a big primary night.” This and many similar articles missed the two most important news stories: Georgia Republicans refuse to sabotage themselves by engaging in counterproductive infighting, and record turnout thoroughly debunked the Democratic “voter suppression” narrative.

A decade ago, when an Obama-era initiative called “Common Core” convinced 41 states to give up control of their education standards, it was infamously the result of a massive influence campaign by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Now, with America’s K-12 landscape being turned upside down by “equity” initiatives that divide children by ethnicity and devalue rigorous academics, the culprit is much the same: Gates and other philanthropic foundations. That’s a takeaway from the two years I spent poring through educational and financial records for my new book, “Race to the Bottom: Uncovering the Secret Forces Destroying American Public Education.”

The national gas average hit a new record of $5.00 a gallon this week, and it doesn’t look like prices are going to fall anytime soon. Americans are frustrated with President Joe Biden’s lies about the economy, and many believe he is at fault for their wallets shrinking. A new poll conducted by the Trafalgar Group found that over 53 percent of people “believe the Biden administration is intentionally letting gas prices rise to make Americans use less fossil fuels.” While 56 percent of voters agreed that the high fuel prices is Biden’s fault. Gas prices have nearly doubled since Biden took office just over a year ago

The Washington state Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that a person’s race, and law enforcement’s long history of discrimination against people of color, should be taken into account when determining the legality of police seizures. The court also clarified state law to say police have seized a person if an objective observer would conclude that the person was not free to leave or refuse a request. But, the court wrote, that “objective observer” must be aware that discrimination and biases “have resulted in disproportionate police contacts, investigative seizures, and uses of force against Black, Indigenous, and other people of color.”

Hogg suggested that a common response to school shootings is to put more police in schools. He then claimed, “Putting more cops in schools hasn’t worked.” He cited two examples to bolster his viewpoint: First he pointed to the armed officer who stood outside Parkland instead of entering, even as the attack was carried out. Then he made claims about the police response to Uvalde. Hogg did not mention the numerous times armed resource officers have saved lives on campus.

(Snip) But he rejected arguments that his government's massive spending to stimulate the economy at the tail end of the Covid-19 pandemic was to blame, instead citing shockwaves from Ukraine and Republican obstruction.
