Sanders: Dems Must 'Do More' on Economy,
Abortion 'Cannot Be the Only Issue' --
Dems Have 'Outside Shot' of Keeping House
Posted By: Dreadnought, 10/10/2022 11:31:46 PM
During a portion of an interview with CBS News aired on Monday’s edition of “Red and Blue,” Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) warned that while abortion is an important issue, Democrats “have got to do more” on the economy, because “Poll after poll shows what everybody understands to be true, working people are hurting. They’re worried about the economy. They’re worried about inflation.” He also said that Democrats “have an outside shot of winning the House.” Sanders said, “I think the Democrats have a very good chance of [keeping control of] the Senate. We have an outside shot of winning the House. But

A report in today’s Wall Street Journal depicts Joe Biden’s Keystone Kops administration in action:
Days before a major oil-production cut by OPEC and its Russia-led allies, U.S. officials called their counterparts in Saudi Arabia and other big Gulf producers with an urgent appeal—delay the decision for another month, according to people familiar with the talks. The answer: a resounding no.
***
Saudi officials dismissed the requests, which they viewed as a political gambit by the Biden administration to avoid bad news ahead of the U.S. midterm elections, on which control of Congress hangs.
Last week, Saudi Arabia announced, in conjunction with OPEC+, that it would be cutting oil production in the face of dropping prices. That decision came in spite of the Biden White House’s lobbying in favor of increased production, which included a sycophantic visit by President Joe Biden to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. In response to the Saudi announcement, the White House quickly announced that the United States would be reevaluating its relationship with the Kingdom. Meanwhile, the White House announced that it would be “preparing to scale down sanctions” on Venezuela’s tyrannical regime, according to The Wall Street Journal. The goal: increased oil production from the Marxist dictatorship
NBC correspondent Dasha Burns broke news Tuesday when she revealed on both MSNBC and NBC Nightly News that Pennsylvania Democrat Senate candidate John Fetterman is in worse shape than originally thought after his near-debilitating stroke.
While previewing her exclusive interview with Fetterman, Burns told viewers that his “campaign required close captioning technology for this interview to essentially read our questions as we asked them.”
She went on to note that “in small talk before the interview without captioning, it wasn't clear he was understanding our conversation.”
More millennials are attending church now than before the Chinese coronavirus pandemic struck, a report from Christianity Today’s October issue found.
Churches all across the country famously closed down during much of the pandemic, creating tension in some communities that wanted to continue to meet regardless of local or state rules. But by now most Americans recognize that the pandemic is over. Even President Joe Biden made that admission last month.
There has been an uptick of Americans returning to normal activities, showing the fundamental desire of Americans to return to a state of pre-pandemic normalcy.
President Joe Biden said Tuesday on “CNN Tonight” that he will pass the assault weapon ban again before he leaves office.
Anchor Jake Tapper said, “Democratic voters approve of the job you’re doing. Democratic voters overwhelmingly like you. But one poll shows that almost two-thirds of Democratic voters want a new nominee in 2024, and the top reason they gave was your age. So what’s your message to Democrats who like you, who like what you’ve done but are concerned about your age and the demands of the job?”
Biden said, “They’re concerned whether or not I can get anything done. Name me a president in recent history
President Joe Biden said he doesn't believe there will be a recession in the near future and if there is, he expects it to be a "slight" economic dip.
"Every six months they say this. Every six months, they look down the next six months and say what's going to happen," Biden said in an interview with Jake Tapper on CNN that was aired Tuesday, referring to recent economic projections by major U.S. banks. "It hadn't happened yet. It hadn't... I don't think there will be a recession. If it is, it'll be a very slight recession. That is, we'll move down slightly."
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon on Monday warned
President Joe Biden continued to explain and modify his warning about nuclear “Armageddon” from Russia, a stark suggestion about the potential for escalation in Russia’s war against Ukraine he made last week.
The most recent remarks came in a wide-ranging interview with CNN host Jake Tapper, which aired Tuesday and covered both domestic and international issues. Asked by Tapper whether he thought Putin would actually use nuclear weapons, Biden said, “I don’t think he will. But I think that it’s irresponsible for him to talk about it.”
The threat of a nuclear weapon could lead, Biden said, “to just a horrible outcome. And not because anybody intends
President Joe Biden demanded the resignation of three Los Angeles City Council members Tuesday who were caught on leaked recordings making racist remarks and conspiring to exploit the redistricting process for political gain.
“He believes that they all should resign,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters at a briefing. “They should all step down.”
In addition to the president, multiple Democratic politicians have denounced the comments of the officials, who are all Democrats. On the audio in question, now former city council president Nury Martinez, members Kevin de Léon and Gil Cedillo, and now former labor leader Ron Herrera can be heard using racist rhetoric to ridicule a black child,
Wall Street boss Jamie Dimon took a veiled swipe at President Biden’s energy policy following OPEC’s decision to cut the global oil supply by some 2% last week. “Obviously, America needs to play a real leadership role — America is the swing producer, not Saudi Arabia,” the JPMorgan Chase CEO told CNBC on Monday.
Dimon said the Biden administration dropped the ball by not significantly boosting output at the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which has roiled energy markets.
“We should have gotten that right starting in March,” according to Dimon. “In my view, America should have been pumping more oil and gas and it should have been supported.”
The U.S. international outlook has changed dramatically with Joe Biden in the White House, a poll shows, with a majority now expecting U.S. dealings with traditional foes like Russia, Iran, China, and North Korea to only grow more hostile.
The change is in direct contrast to public sentiment in the President Donald Trump era at roughly the same point in the two administrations. Now, 60 percent of U.S. adults say relations with adversaries will get worse, up from 26 percent four years ago, according to the poll from the Pearson Institute and The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
The poll numbers come just days after the president attacked Russia for its actions

Congress to 're-evaluate' relationship
with Saudi Arabia 17 replies
President Joe Biden feels that the US' relationship with Saudi Arabia needs to be re-evaluated in the wake of the OPEC+ decision last week to decrease oil production, a National Security Council spokesman said .
In an interview with CNN's Brianna Keilar on "New Day," National Security Council coordinator for strategic communications John Kirby said Biden is "willing to work with Congress as we think about what the right relationship with Saudi Arabia needs to be going forward."
"I think the President's been very clear that this is a relationship that that we need to continue to reevaluate, that we need to be willing to revisit. And certainly in light
The very short answer, as revealed in this story published yesterday by the NY Times, is politics. The attempt to build the first bullet train in the US between San Francisco and Los Angeles almost immediately turned into a boondoggle thanks to decisions that made no sense in terms of efficiency or ridership but only in terms of satisfying powerful politicians.
The design for the nation’s most ambitious infrastructure project was never based on the easiest or most direct route. Instead, the train’s path out of Los Angeles was diverted across a second mountain range to the rapidly growing suburbs of the Mojave Desert

The U.S. Army is scrambling after missing recruitment numbers in 2022 by wide margins.
"The Army plans to increase its investment in marketing and is expected to expand a new program for struggling recruits, but leaders on Monday offered few new details on how they’ll fill the ranks after falling far short of recruiting goals this year," the Associated Press reports. "Army Secretary Christine Wormuth told reporters that a new recruiting task force is coming up with ideas. But any new plans would have to gel quickly in order to reverse the dramatically low enlistment numbers over the past year.
Former Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard announced she left the Democratic Party on Tuesday, denouncing the organization as an "elitist cabal.” Gabbard, who retired from the House of Representatives in 2021, attacked the institution in a nearly 30-minute video posted to her YouTube account. She did not announce plans to join the Republican Party or adopt any other political affiliation, however. "I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue & stoke anti-white racism," Gabbard said in an excerpt posted to Twitter.

The family of a 17-year-old who died over the summer says she passed away from sudden heart problems.
Rep. Sean Casten (D-Ill.) and his wife said in a statement that Gwen Casten died in June of a sudden cardiac arrhythmia.
“In layman’s terms, she was fine, and then her heart stopped,” the grieving parents said. “We don’t know what caused the arrhythmia, and likely never will.”
According to the National Liberty of medicine, arrhythmia is an irregular heartbeat. It can refer to a heart that is beating too quickly, too slowly, or with an otherwise irregular pattern.
When the nuclear war comes – and let’s face it, it seems more likely with each passing day – our masters won’t be burned to ashes in the cities alongside the rest of us.
Instead, they’ll be underground in a purpose-built nuclear bunker, where they’ll wait out the cleansing fire of the nuclear warheads and re-emerge to rule the planet.
The head of doomsday bunker company – which has a sprawling bunker community in Dakota – claims that ‘bread crumbs’ hint at where a huge bunker complex is located.
The Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) has paused all gender transition surgeries for minors following an explosive report about their pediatric gender services and a letter from state legislators demanding the practices stop, according to a letter from VUMC.
“We are pausing gender affirmation surgeries on patients under age 18 while we complete this review, which may take several months. In addition, we understand this issue is likely to be taken up by the General Assembly in its next legislative session.
Joe Biden on Tuesday delivered virtual remarks at the Summit on Fire Prevention and Control from his fake White House set in the South Court Auditorium.
Biden once again falsely claimed a lightning strike previously destroyed his home.
“I was doing Meet the Press and lightning struck a little pond behind my house, it came up through the ground into the air conditioning system…everything was ruined,” Biden said. This is one of Joe Biden’s favorite lies.
With the November election just weeks away, Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams is dealing with an unusual political problem. She has become a star on the national political stage. But in her own state -- where she has proved in recent presidential and Senate contests that she can get out the vote for Democratic candidates -- she is struggling to gain momentum for her rematch with Republican Governor Brian Kemp. One problem is tepid enthusiasm among a key segment of the Democratic base: Black men. One-third of Black men registered in Georgia haven’t voted in the past several elections, with pollsters
Angela Lansbury, the British-born actress whose career spanned eight decades and produced indelible portraits of a wide range of characters from villainesses to sleuths and light comic roles in movies, on the stage and on television, died at age 96, her family said on Tuesday in a statement.
The PayPal Fiasco Was No Accident

PayPal on Oct. 8 sent out an update to its terms of use, or acceptable use policy (AUP). It included a shocking addition. It reserved the right to confiscate $2,500 from people’s accounts if they spread “misinformation.” It was a clear announcement of what many already suspected: PayPal has enlisted in the information war.
This comes weeks after PayPal blocked several important accounts in the UK, including Toby Young’s personal account, the Free Speech Union, and the DailySceptic. These are hugely important venues for the English-speaking world in countering the COVID propaganda narrative. It was no accident that they were targeted.
After global protests and news coverage from alternative sources, PayPal relented
Democrat Rep. Tim Ryan doubled down on his comments from earlier in the year calling to “kill and confront” MAGA while specifically targeting J.D. Vance in his rhetoric during the debate on Monday night.
In the heated debate between Ryan and his Republican opponent for Ohio’s open U.S. Senate seat, Ryan was confronted and asked to explain his comments earlier in the year when he told MSNBC’s Morning Joe that the “exhausted majority” needed to “kill and confront” the extremist Republican movement.
Now, Ryan, during the debate — doubling down on his comments — included Vance in the group of people he labels as “extremists.”
The White House is quietly preparing for President Joe Biden’s birthday this year as it marks the first president in office to reach the age of 80.
Politico reports some senior aides in the West Wing have discussed the upcoming milestone in Biden’s world and how to handle it.
Biden was born on November 20, 1942, and his birthday this year will be on a Sunday.
In 2021, the president spent his birthday in Delaware, but events this year might put him in Washington, DC, for the occasion.

Photos of Jeff Younger’s smiling twin boys are scattered throughout his comfortable brick home in the Dallas suburbs. Happy moments, frozen in time.(snip)He took the boys to parks, teaching them how to hurl sticks and track rabbits along a creek, all part of growing his boys into men.
But for Younger’s son, James, now 10, manhood may never come.
James is like so many swept up in the hype of transgenderism, part of an exploding trend among youth and young adults. And Younger is among a swarm of objectors, many of them parents, fighting an uphill battle against a $2.1 billion transgender industry in the United States.
