Joe Biden on Friday delivered remarks on the ‘deficit reduction’ his economic plan is supposedly achieving.
No serious person believes Joe Biden’s tax-and-spend policies have reduced the deficit.
Joe Biden’s American Rescue Plan and Inflation Reduction Act have not only added to the deficit, the spending has caused historic and painful inflation.
“Look at what I’ve inherited and what I’ve done!” Biden said.
Biden inherited 1.4% inflation and now it is well over 8% because Democrat lawmakers and Joe Biden have spent trillion of dollars.
Life comes at you fast. On Thursday, Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett decided not to get involved with Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness scheme, denying a Wisconsin group’s bid to block the order. That had liberals spiking the football, suggesting that it wouldn’t be possible for anyone to gain standing to challenge the president’s move.
Things shifted quickly on Friday, though. The 8th Circuit has now put an administrative stay in place, stopping Biden from moving forward with any cancellation of student debt.
The establishment media wants to make Meghan Markle something of a figurehead for feminism and the social justice left, but like every other person they hold up, Markle is a mess of hypocrisies and lies.
As RedState previously reported, Markle claimed that her time on the game show “Deal or No Deal” was a tragic tale of sexism in society. She claimed that she wasn’t at all valued for her intellect but only for her looks and that there were stations for the girls to improve their appearances like stations for fake eyelashes and bra stuffing.
She was called out by many for having been okay with it at the time
Joe Biden was in delusional overdrive at the White House on Friday. The White House invited some of the nuttiest liberal Twitter trolls to push out the latest propaganda. Then Biden premiered yet another effort to attack and demonize Republicans.
Biden accused the Republicans of trying to “crash the economy” and threw out that old lie about Republicans wanting to kill Social Security and Medicare. [Video]
What could the Republicans do to “crash the economy” that Biden hasn’t already done? He’s already crashed it.
(Snip) But he didn’t leave it there. He now has a new slogan, moving from attacking “MAGA” to “ultra MAGA,” now it’s “MEGA MAGA.”
Despite Twitter company executives repeatedly telling employees that there are no immediate layoff plans during town hall meetings over the past few months, The Washington Post reports that Musk is planning to make massive job cuts in the coming months. According to interviews and documents obtained by WaPo - so take that with the pinch of salt it deserves - Musk told prospective investors in his deal to buy the company that he planned to get rid of nearly 75 percent of Twitter’s 7,500 workers, whittling the company down to a skeleton staff of just over 2,000.
However, while the headline appears to want to make Musk out
A federal appeals court put a temporary, administrative hold on President Joe Biden's student loan forgiveness program, barring the administration from canceling loans covered under the policy, while the court considers a challenge to the policy.
The order came from the 8th US Circuit Court of Appeals, in a case brought by six Republican-led states. A district court dismissed the case earlier this week and the states are now asking the appeals court for a preliminary injunction halting the policy.
The appeals court gave the administration until Monday to respond to that request, and the states will have until Tuesday to reply to that response. The states had asked the appeals court
President Joe Biden was asked several times on Thursday about his limited appearances with Democrat candidates, who apparently don't see Biden as a campaign asset.
One reporter asked Biden if he has any plans to campaign in Nevada or Georgia in the coming weeks:
"Both the congressmen asked me to go out," Biden said. (He apparently was referring to Democrat Senators Raphael Warnock of Georgia and Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada, who find themselves in close races.)
"I don’t know if I’m going to be able to get out in Nevada. And in Georgia, they asked me to come down. We’re trying to work it out now," Biden said.
The new measures, which took effect on Friday, stop people from buying, selling or transferring handguns within Canada, and prevents them from bringing newly bought handguns into the country. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the move builds on earlier efforts to ban handgun imports. Mr Trudeau announced a handgun freeze in May as part of his plan to tackle gun violence, his office said. "We have frozen the market for handguns in this country," Mr Trudeau said at a news conference in Surrey, British Columbia, attended by family members of gun violence victims and other advocates. "As we see
Pennsylvania Democratic Senate hopeful John Fetterman's wife Gisele stepped in and shut down a reporter who asked the lieutenant governor if he was satisfied with the progress made of the downed Pittsburgh bridge. 'We're not here to do interviews, we're here to celebrate,' Gisele told reporter Kyle Mazza of UNF News, as the couple attended an event headlined by President Joe Biden at the worksite of the Fern Hollow Bridge - the site of the January bridge collapse. Fetterman has been using closed captioning to answer questions from journalists as he recovers from his May stroke, with a sit-down with NBC
How should a president respond to running a $1.4 trillion budget deficit — 40% higher than before the pandemic — and adding trillions more to 10-year deficits?
If you are President Biden, you take a victory lap touting your “historic deficit reduction.”
In a remarkable feat of gaslighting, the president held a press conference Friday bragging about directing the “largest one-year [deficit] drop in American history.” But Biden did nothing to reduce the deficit. In fact, his policies have added a deluge of red ink.
Between 2017 and 2019, the budget deficit averaged $810 billion annually.
Joe Biden on Friday delivered remarks on his student debt relief program in Dover, Delaware before he takes off for another weekend vacation in Rehoboth Beach.
Biden falsely claimed he was “teaching” before he ran for president in 2020.
Over the years Joe Biden has repeatedly claimed he was a professor at UPenn.
Joe Biden was paid $1 million by UPenn but he never taught a single class.This is one of Joe Biden’s favorite lies.
Biden also told a bizarre story of how Jill Biden threatened to leave him once.
“True story – when I left the vice presidency after Beau died I wasn’t going to get involved in politics anymore so I became
President Joe Biden on Friday acknowledged that polls were swinging toward Republicans and issued a last-minute economic warning to Americans if they took power.
“If you’re worried about the economy, you need to know this. Republican leadership in congress has made it clear,” Biden said. “They will crash the economy next year by threatening the full faith and credit of the United States.”
Biden delivered a speech at the White House warning that if Republicans won power in Congress, they would stop his multi-trillion dollar spending agenda and push for tax cuts and spending cuts.

illegal migrant numbers by Tuesday if
Biden admin won't replies
Several former border officials vowed to release the number of illegal migrant crossings into the U.S. by Tuesday if the Biden administration hasn't by then.
Former Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli, acting Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Mark Morgan and acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Tom Homan accused the Biden administration of hiding the number of illegal southwestern border crossings in September.
The Trump-era officials pointed out that DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and CBP Commissioner Chris Magnus are required to release the numbers weekly and that if the numbers are not published by Tuesday, the former officials will do it themselves.
The devil is always in the details. Washington Post columnist Aaron Blake took a deep dive into the crosstabs on a recent New York Times/Sienna poll and found the data did not align with his worldview on threats to democracy. Perhaps someday, the coastal cabal of journalists who told workers in flyover country to “learn to code” will understand that the world looks very different between D.C. and Los Angeles than it does from their ivory towers. Today is not that day.
The most adorable part of the analysis is Blake’s disbelief that the January 6 narrative pushed by D.C. Democrats, Twitter activists, and their stenographers in the corporate media
federal judge on Friday ruled that former Trump adviser Steve Bannon will serve four months in prison and pay a $6,500 fine for contempt of Congress after he defied a subpoena from the partisan and arguably illegitimate House January 6 Committee, according to multiple reports.(snip)Bannon remained defiant outside the courtroom after sentencing, saying today may have been his judgement day, but “this illegitimate regime, their Judgement Day is on 8 November when the Biden Administration ends.”

In ten days, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) v. Harvard. While the case is nominally about racial discrimination against Asian-Americans in Harvard admissions, similar forms of discrimination have long become pervasive beyond college campuses. Across America, schools, governments, and corporations have deployed racial discrimination to exclude “overrepresented minorities” and make “underrepresented minorities” more “represented” (except, apparently, in professional sports or union leadership). These actions take place in a legal gray zone obfuscated by code words and doublespeak. An unambiguous, comprehensive Supreme Court ruling in favor of SFFA is sorely needed.
Former President Donald Trump was subpoenaed Friday for documents and his testimony by the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 assault on the Capitol.
Committee Chairman Rep. Bennie Thompson, Democrat of Mississippi, and Vice Chair Rep. Liz Cheney, Republican of Wyoming, issued the subpoena to Trump in a letter eight days after the panel's unanimous vote to do so, at the end of what was likely the committee's final hearing.
The committee demands that the former president submit documentary material by Nov. 4, which would be followed by "one or more days" of his deposition under oath "on or about" Nov. 14, according to the panel's letter.
Oil prices and President Joe Biden’s continued draining of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) have dominated the headlines over the past few weeks, but analysts say a more impactful and serious crisis on the energy front looms: a diesel fuel shortage.
Diesel doesn’t get as much of the limelight as oil and gas, but it should because diesel fuel is the industrial lifeblood of the United States, and the price of diesel alone probably has a more significant impact on inflation and the prices you’re paying at the grocery store over any other factor. Without ample amounts of diesel, semi-trucks don’t move, farms are shut down, and critical manufacturing

The campaign finance report for Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro, Democrat gubernatorial candidate, is tall enough to ride a rollercoaster. It would take 22 reams of paper to print all 10,983 pages of his most recent campaign finance report.
That’s 55 inches tall.
Within those pages are three contributions totaling $120,000 from the family of far-left billionaire George Soros, who has funded the campaigns of soft-on-crime district attorneys now in office in major cities across the nation.
First lady Jill Biden has insisted her embattled stepson Hunter is “innocent” and has broken no laws amid an ongoing federal investigation.
“Everybody and their brother has investigated Hunter,” Jill Biden told NBC News in an interview published Friday.
“They keep at it, and at it, and at it,” the first lady added. “I know that Hunter is innocent. I love my son, and I will keep looking forward.”
Investigators have reportedly gathered enough evidence to charge the 52-year-old Hunter with potential tax crimes and allegedly lying about his drug abuse so he could buy a gun.

In his 2011 farewell address to graduates of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, then-Defense Secretary Bob Gates raised eyebrows when he said that any future Pentagon chief “who advises the President to again send a big American land army into Asia or the Middle East or Africa should ‘have his head examined,’ as General MacArthur so delicately put it.” He made the statement just months before NATO began its aerial assault on the Libyan state,(snip)The jihad against Syria was to replay the CIA’s war against the Soviets in Afghanistan, except in reverse.
Protesters twice in two weeks have crashed town hall meetings held by New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, with the second event resulting in the unofficial leader of House Democrats' progressive wing known as the "Squad" deciding do essentially throw up her arms and and do dance moves until the drum-backed chants quieted.
Video of the incident Wednesday in Queens shows the two-term congresswoman sitting on the stage of a small auditorium in which the event was held doing the moves as the crowd chanted "AOC has got to go."
Still, the 33-year-old lawmaker is favored to win reelection on Nov. 8 against GOP challenger Tina Forte, considering her 14th Congressional District
Is the Red Wave Back?
replies
In the dog days of summer, as President Joe Biden’s average approval rating plummeted to historic lows amid an intense flurry of national setbacks, policy blunders and rhetorical “gaffes” (otherwise known as palpable senility), most in the punditry class began to predict an imminent “red wave” of Republican electoral dominance in November’s midterm elections. The midterms that take place two years after a new presidency typically favor the opposition party, after all, and certain data — such as the four-decade-high inflation rate that was, and still is, raging like wildfire — pointed in the direction of a strong ballot-box backlash to one-party Democratic rule.
Tucker Carlson provided an accurate assessment of the overt anti-white racism in America that goes not only unchecked, but often praised. His comparison to Rwanda’s eventual genocide doesn’t feel that far off when one considers the daily reminders by many prominent media personalities and politicians of the “whiteness” that pervades this country.
So it comes as no surprise that sheltered, entitled, and ignorant professional athletes would share these same anti-white views. For supposedly being oppressed, there is no shortage of self-esteem among leftist blacks. If they truly feared for their lives, it goes without saying that they’d hesitate to make such remarks.
GOP fires warning shot at IRS: Destruction

of taxpayer filings is ‘ripe for congressional oversight' replies
Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee asked the IRS this week to keep all documents related to its 2021 decision to destroy millions of taxpayer filings, and indicated a deeper congressional inquiry is coming if Republicans take control of the House. During the first few months of the Biden administration, the IRS destroyed 30 million paper-filed "information returns," which must be filed by small business and others to inform the IRS of various transactions. The IRS claimed that "software limitations" prevented it from processing those returns, and a decision was made to destroy them. The IRS insisted that no taxpayers would be penalized
A promising young football player for Mississippi State University football was found dead inside a nearby church days before his 19th birthday.
Sam Westmoreland, a native of Tupelo, Mississippi, was found Wednesday after authorities were called to the Blackjack Missionary Baptist Church in Starkville, police said in a statement to TMZ.
His cause of death is unknown but authorities are continuing to investigate.
A spokesperson for the Oktibbeha County Sheriff’s Office said there was “no reason to suspect foul play” at this time.
The 6-foot-4 freshman offensive tackle was majoring in industrial technology. At Tupelo High School, he was named to the 2022 Northeast Mississippi Football Coaches Association All-Star Game
On Sept. 20, we reported on an outrageous subpoena served by the U.S. Justice Department on the Eagle Forum of Alabama. Fortunately, in the face of vigorous opposition expressed in amicus briefs filed by literally dozens of conservative organizations supporting the Eagle Forum’s motion to quash (i.e. throw out) the subpoena, Justice Department lawyers caved and narrowed their request, as the judge in the case put it, to “1%” of what they were demanding before.
It gets better. At a hearing on Oct. 14 on the motion, according to a transcript we have obtained, federal Judge Liles C. Burke castigated the Justice Department for its “vastly overbroad and unduly burdensome” subpoena
This week, ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl asked Dr. Anthony Fauci, the soon-departing head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, if it was a “mistake” for schools to be shuttered as long as they were during the COVID pandemic. “We should realize, and have realized,” Fauci answered, “that there will be deleterious collateral consequences when you do something like that,” adding that he had “nothing to do” with schools closing.
This is a transparent legacy-saving revisionism.
Fauci now portrays himself as a humble public health official who had merely shared scientific advice and information with decision-makers. This self-serving depiction conveniently ignores his fearmongering,
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention vaccine advisory committee unanimously voted to add the Covid-19 shot to the growing list of recommended childhood vaccines this week. Most states follow this recommended immunization schedule (snip) not all vaccines are created equal.
Most of the standard scheduled shots have had decades, entire lifetimes to go through long-term trial-and-error. The Covid-19 shot did not even receive standard clinical trial evaluations, and this is just one factor in my family’s decision to avoid the new shot at all costs.
Clinical research is necessary to determine if medical substances used to treat illnesses and diseases are safe.
The Republican Party has won an election integrity lawsuit against Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson over restrictions she imposed on poll challengers. Benson, per the Republican National Committee, had imposed restrictions on poll challengers, including a new credential form, an "artificial deadline" for appointing them, and limiting the poll workers with whom the challengers may communicate.
The Virginia Election Integrity Unit earlier dismissed a county elections official for 2020 voting irregularities and charged her with two felony counts of corrupt conduct and making a false statement. While it is not entirely clear what happened, the reported backstory reveals that the Democrats’ complaints about her dismissal are hollow, indeed.
The Washington Post recently reported on the felony counts facing the ex-voting official and her summary dismissal. It is essential background reading for understanding a glaring anomaly in Virginia’s 2020 election that has raised red flags with some veteran political observers.
In a jaw-dropping speech from Joe Biden, the president seemed to suggest that the clearly disabled radical Senate candidate John Fetterman would be replaced by his formerly-undocumented immigrant wife, Gisele.
The Daily Caller reported late Thursday that Biden dropped this major hint by saying she would make a “a great lady in the Senate” while campaigning alongside the far-left invalid.
Joe Biden on Thursday traveled to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to deliver remarks on his admin’s plan to fix the nation’s infrastructure.
Biden was greeted by Democrat US Senate candidate John Fetterman and his handler/wife Gisele Fetterman.
Stroke victim John Fetterman and Dementia Joe together is quite the duo.
As expected, the Fetterman/Biden event was a dumpster fire.
Biden couldn’t even read his teleprompter.
Top O’ the Briefing
Happy Friday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Kelton’s penchant for telling strangers that they should be wearing more corduroy made him the scourge of mall security throughout the greater Akron area.
I have largely avoided writing about John Fetterman because I haven’t quite been able to figure out what’s going on there. I’m talking about stuff that doesn’t have anything to do with the stroke, which we will get to shortly.
The guy dresses like a stoner uncle who has spent the last 30 years reliving the six months he spent in a ska band when he was 19.
I’ll have to admit, at this point I’m pretty steeped in the lies of Joe Biden. Admittedly, it’s hard to keep up with them, since there are so many of them–and the list is constantly growing. He’s been at it for a long time. Most infamously in the 1988 presidential race — the first time he ran for the office — he told all kinds of lies about his background and educational accomplishment. He also got nailed for plagiarism. But that was when we still held people to account for trying to deceive us, and he dropped out of the race after the scandal.
Here’s some of his plagiarism back then.
Governor Ron DeSantis responded to the Biden Regime and CDC’s latest attempt to force Covid vaccines on children.
On Thursday, the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices voted to recommend COVID-19 to be included in the 2023 childhood immunization schedule in 15 unanimous votes.
ACIP recommends the use of COVID-19 vaccines for everyone ages 6 months and older. COVID-19 vaccine and other vaccines may be administered on the same day.
DeSantis said as long as he is governor, the Covid-19 vaccine will not be mandated for school children in Florida.
“As long as I am Governor, in Florida there will not be a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for children in our schools,”
A new poll found that nearly 80% of American voters believe that minors should be required to wait until they are adults to pursue transgender procedures. The national survey, conducted by Convention of States Action, in partnership with The Trafalgar Group, polled over 1,000 likely 2022 election voters in October. When asked if they “believe underage minors should be required to wait until they are adults to use puberty blockers and undergo permanent sex change procedures,” the poll found that 78.7% of all respondents comprising Democrats, Republicans, and non-partisan affiliations said they should “wait.”
The pre-pandemic world of 2019 may be gone, but there is no clear indication what will replace it. Russia is no longer a first-rate power. China’s economy has stalled. The US and Western Europe are facing an economic slowdown that may deepen into a recession in the coming months. The great powers are increasingly at odds, not only in Eastern Europe but also in the Western Pacific across the Taiwan Straits. The old ‘rule based, global world order’ is seemingly falling apart. George Friedman optimistically calls it The Storm Before the Calm, and sees a renewed and dominant United States emerging from a period of global upheaval.
One of the reasons I rarely post on Twitter is that it’s very easy for typos to become memes. Remember Trump’s Covfefe tweet? What did it mean or was it a just a slip of the mouse? Thus, we don’t really know whether Kanye West really meant death con3 to Jews or did he mean defcon3 which is a military term for increase in force readiness above that required for normal readiness. These misreads especially occur when someone is speaking rather than typing into a computer. In my old age, I need subtitles for everything I watch and the subsequent incorrect translation of speech can be quite amusing.

President Joe Biden defended himself against questions over the lack of Democratic candidates inviting him to campaign for them during a make-or-break midterm election season.
Biden said it wasn’t true that Democrats don’t want to campaign with him. “There haven’t been that many candidates campaigning with you,” the reporter said referring to the lack of Democratic candidates inviting him onto their campaign trail, according to a video of the interaction.
The Florida Board of Education unanimously passed new rules requiring all public and charter schools to provide bathrooms and locker rooms separated by biological sex after a divided public hearing Wednesday.
The move comes months after the passing of a Gov. Ron DeSantis backed bill spearheading legislation that banned discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity for kids in kindergarten through the third grade in the state.
The new bathroom regulations also mandate schools notify parents if they offer bathrooms and locker rooms that are not sorted by biological sex and outline their supervision procedures for them.
It’s stunning to hear President Biden (and the rest of the Democrats) spin our growing energy crisis. Like a child with his hand caught in the cookie jar, Biden continually tells the American people, “I didn’t do it!” In fact, yes he did. And he still is.
“Let’s debunk some myths: My administration has not stopped or slowed U.S. oil production,” Biden said on Wednesday, adding that he’s “doing everything in my power to reduce gasoline prices.”
Is that true? In fact, the entire energy policy of the Biden administration has been directed at not just slowing, but stopping U.S. oil production. The intended result:
President Biden said during a visit to Pennsylvania on Thursday that voters should back Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman over his Republican opposition, Dr. Mehmet Oz, because the "rest of the world is looking."
Attempting to instill urgency in voters to turn out for what is expected to be a tight race — and one that could potentially decide the majority of the U.S. Senate — Biden said the implications of the race could vastly change U.S. policy.
Pointing to recent comments from House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Biden argued a Republican majority would prevent him from sending billions of dollars to Ukraine amid its fight with Russia.
The state of California simply refuses to leave the rest of us alone.
Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court heard more than two hours of oral arguments (more than in the case overturning Roe v. Wade) concerning pigs and how much space should be allotted for a sow to give birth and wean her piglets.
In 2018, California voters approved a proposition that banned the sale of any pork not produced at a farm that provided at least 24 square feet of space per sow. While there is always an argument to be made against animal cruelty, the problem here is a matter of practicality. Only four percent of pig farms

Administration ‘Has Everything to Do’
with Rising Energy Costs replies
A former Keystone XL Pipeline welder recently blasted Democrat President Joe Biden’s intent to cut gas and energy prices before the midterm elections.
“I don’t know how he gets away with keep saying that he doesn’t have anything to do with [high gas prices] when they’ve got everything to do with it,” Neal Crabtree said during an interview this week with Fox Business.
Crabtree previously worked on the Keystone XL project and was among hundreds of others laid off after the president took office.
Biden canceled the federal permit for the pipeline that would have brought vast amounts of oil on a daily basis from Canada down to the state of Texas.
According to the findings of German research, one in every 700 children under the age of five who received the Pfizer mRNA Covid vaccine was hospitalized with severe adverse events (SAE), and one in every 200 children had ‘symptoms that were currently ongoing and thus of unknown significance.’
The study, “Comparative Safety of the BNT162b2 Messenger RNA COVID-19 Vaccine vs Other Approved Vaccines in Children Younger Than 5 Years,” was published in JAMA on Tuesday, two days before the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices voted to recommend COVID-19 to be included in the 2023 childhood immunization schedule.
Participants in this retrospective cohort study were German parents or caregivers
We’ve seen a lot of climate change protesters in this country. They’re usually incredibly annoying, doing things like blocking traffic by linking themselves together on the highway or gluing their hands to something.

The young woman with pink hair is bordering on hysterical as she tries to convince people of the importance of their actions.
The usual reaction to people like this has been to cut them loose or free them from the glue and arrest them.
As President Joe Biden criss-crosses the country in the final weeks before the midterm elections, a common thread has emerged in his private remarks before well-heeled Democrats: fundraisers are for the real ones.(Photo) Speaking in lavish private homes, yacht clubs and Zoom calls to the bundlers and donors Democrats hope could help them hang on to their majorities in Congress, Biden’s remarks are nearly always longer and funnier, more blunt and more unwieldy than the speeches he’s delivered to the broader public while in office—a trend that one attendee of a recent event called “Free Joe Time.”
“The script is out the window, for better or worse. I think better, frankly,”
Everything President Joe Biden touches turns to dust. He was handed a country with a recovering economy, cities where crime was under control, a secure border, and a time when people can afford to live. All he had to do was nothing. But he didn’t, and now the U.S. is at one of its worst times in history.
Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) has had enough of the Democratic Party making excuses and covering up Biden’s many bluffs and mistakes. [snip]

While we should never count our chickens until they are fully out of their shells, there is almost unanimous agreement among the major polling groups that the GOP should be able to retake the majority in the House next month. (Insert the standard caveat about how bad the polling has been of late here.) If that happens, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy still appears to be the odds-on favorite to be the next Speaker, though that assumption also comes with a few caveats. Some of the GOP members in the lower chamber have clearly been feeling their oats and have been starting to suggest that Joe Biden might be impeached
Matt Lamb of the College Fix recently visited Gibson’s Bakery with his family. Legal Insurrection readers are very familiar with the back story here:(Snip)It also looks like a small-town bakery, with local newspapers for sale at the front, a single register and coffee and donuts to the left. Well, there’s no fancy coffee machines like at a Starbucks, just pots and brandless styrofoam and paper cups--the less branding, the better the coffee it seems. It’s the sort of place I’d go to if it was down the street, not five hours away from my home.
Former Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean claimed Thursday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that the Democrats will increase their majorities in both the U.S Senate and House in November’s midterm election.
Dean said, “I’ll make this prediction right now we’ll pick up two to three in the Senate and pick up House. We will pick up seats in the House and not lose them. I think we will take two more than we have today n the House. It’s just because when you see these early turnout figures, and you better be one of them if you’re watching this, that is a very good thing for people who are angry,
