When it comes to gauging the country’s economic health, the media usually focuses on indicators like gross domestic product (GDP). But those broad metrics don’t always capture people’s ability to meet their basic needs — food, clothing and shelter. Even though GDP has been declining for the last six months, the real alarm bell that should be ringing concerns the electorate’s inability to afford a place to live, something the discontented voter will not take lightly. Since Joe Biden became president, prices have risen dramatically for clothing (7.3%) and food (13.7%), according to the Consumer Price Index. But those increases pale in comparison to how much home prices and rents

The size of the government has become so large that it cannot be financed with taxes, as the people do not have the money. Half the government is paid for by printing money. If taxes were raised to pay for it all, it would destroy the private sector, which the left needs to keep alive, as the left must have a host for their parasitic way.

We don't need anyone to tell us about the economic health of the country. We see it with everything we have to buy. Gas, Food, Every type of service, Utility bills, EVERYTHING!!!!!! Along with that we also see all of the GIGANTIC ridicules spending that the Dems in Congress are doing.

The first Moon rocket launched by NASA in five decades is expected to take off Monday morning from the Kennedy Space Center on Florida's coast that will be watched by Vice President Kamala Harris. Launch teams spent a final full day of preparations ahead of the planned liftoff of NASA's giant next-generation Artemis I rocket on its debut test flight, kicking off the agency's moon-to-Mars program 50 years after the end of Apollo. NASA officials said on Sunday that all systems appeared 'go' for liftoff, and weather forecasts called for an 80 percent chance of favorable conditions at the top of Monday's two-hour launch window, starting at 8:33am ET,

GOP Senator Lindsey Graham has warned there will be 'riots in the streets' if Donald Trump is indicted over his mishandling of classified documents. Graham suggested there was a two-tiered legal system based along political lines in support of Joe Biden and against the former president. 'Most Republicans, including me, believe when it comes to Trump, there is no law. It's all about getting him,' Graham said to Fox News on Sunday night. 'There is a double standard when it comes to Trump. What happened with Hunter Biden is that the FBI weighed in to make sure the story didn't break before the 2020 election.

Back before the bad orange man did bad orange things and scrambled the brains of everyone working within the beltway, the FBI used to actually solve crimes and handle real threats to American national security. It didn’t just run around crying about Russia and attacking enemies of people with blue hair, it did a good job of fighting crime. Well, one man from those older days at the FBI is now tearing into his former agency for involving itself in the Stasi-like Mar-a-Lago raid, calling the raid something that the feds are “going to regret.” That man is Kevin Brock, the retired assistant director of the FBI.

Director, actor, and longtime Democrat activist Rob Reiner was incredulous at the notion that the media censored coverage of the Hunter Biden laptop scandal in the run-up to the 2020 election–a fact which is no longer in dispute. Reiner’s comments came during a discussion Friday on HBO’s “Real Time” when host Bill Maher mentioned the recent controversy surround author Sam Harris’ claims on a podcast that the media and big tech were justified in censoring the story of Hunter Biden’s “laptop from hell” during the 2020 election in order to stop Donald Trump’s re-election. “They were talking about the Hunter Biden laptop which was a story,” Maher said,

Top Democrats have officially abandoned any remaining restraint when it comes to America first Republicans, sending an ominous signal to supporters of former President Donald J. Trump that they are viewed as enemies by some of the most powerful political figures in the country led by President Joe Biden. On Thursday, the man who dishonestly presented himself as a unifier during his White House campaign denounced “MAGA Republicans” as enemies of democracy who are driven by what he called “semi-fascism” during a decidedly un-American rant that marked a new low for a national leader and conjured images of a dark period of European history when another demagogue denounced a persecuted minority

It also suggests that inflation and the state of the economy remain top concerns for voters less than three months before the November midterms will decide which party controls Congress for the latter half of Biden's term. More than 50 percent on sides of the aisle also rated the other party as 'too extreme' in a sign of the continuously chilling political climate.

Hollywood star Drew Barrymore has been accused of “racism” for posting a video of herself dancing in the rain on social media. The short video shows Barrymore filming herself laughing, dancing, and encouraging others to enjoy the pouring rain. However, leftists pounced on the video and argued that it’s “racist” because she’s “frolicking in the rain.” The accusation comes from a “woke” activist with the handle @amushroomblackly who posted a video response, that quickly went viral, and accused Barrymore of cultural insensitivity. “Whenever you can, go out into the rain,” Barrymore says in her video.

A plan to save migratory salmon by demolishing four hydroelectric dams on California’s Klamath River got backing from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Friday. FERC released the final version of the environmental impact statement evaluating the dam demolition plan. FERC commissioners will vote on whether or not to implement the plan later this year. The dam’s operators filed an application to surrender the Lower Klamath Hydroelectric Project on Nov. 17, 2020. The project rests on 400 acres of federal land in Oregon and California, and consists of the Copco 1, Copco 2, Iron Gate, and J.C.

They weren’t the only ones who noticed this strange behavior from Biden and things are just getting worse.

The shots have been modified to target the latest Omicron variant, but won't have finished testing in humans when the FDA makes the decision. Instead, the FDA is relying on data from other sources - like research in mice and older vaccines, the Wall Street Journal reported.

In the transition from gas-powered vehicles to electric, the fuel every automaker is after these days is cold hard cash. Established automakers and startups alike are rolling out new battery-powered models in an effort to meet growing demand. Ramping up production of a new model was already a fraught and expensive process, but rising material costs and tricky regulations for federal incentives are squeezing coffers even further. Prices of the raw materials used in many electric-vehicle batteries — lithium, nickel and cobalt — have soared over the last two years as demand has skyrocketed, and it may be several years before miners

It's only a day since we reported on California’s intention to outlaw sales of new combustion-engined vehicles from 2035, and already the ripples are being felt across the nation. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) that governs motor vehicle emissions for the state adopted new rules that will require 35% of the new cars sold in the state are electric or plug-in hybrids by 2026, with that percentage rising to 68% by 2030 and 100% by 2035. California has a waiver from the federal government to set its own air quality rules, and other states are allowed to opt into its regulations, which are typically more stringent than the national standards.
