The White House amped up its attacks on House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's budget Friday as it moves toward a floor vote – calling it a risk to health and environmental programs and would 'poison the lungs of our children.' It was just the latest attack on an emerging budget document set to get a key House vote next week, amid a standoff over raising the nation's $31 trillion debt limit and House Republicans' demands for cuts. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the plan put forward by the House Budget Committee amounted to 'holding our economy hostage' that she said would 'kill jobs, fill our cities with smog,

What economy? Trump had a great economy and Biden and his handlers have deliberately torched it. Are they really convinced we are that stupid? They are just mad because McCarthy put the IRS funding for those 87K agents on the table.

Chemical that melts bones: vinegar. Another: HCl ( pool ph leveler or concrete cleaner) also called muriatic acid. Another: HF, hydrofluoric acid, glass etcher very common in the semiconductor industry. HF will not effect skin but will dissolve bones beneath. Most of our "ruling class" are morons. Fact.

The only issue with not raising the debt limit is that the value of the dollar would be so trashed, that everything we buy would cost more, inflation would skyrocket, and the dollar as the currency of the world would probably be replaced. Possibly by the Chinese Yaun. Several countries have already worked out deals with China to use the Yaun as their trade currency instead of the U.S. dollar.

The "ransom note" or "extortion tool" is passing a bill to spend money you don't have the means to pay for, and KNOWING you didn't, but expecting that the debt ceiling would simply be raised to accommodate.

President Biden announced his reelection bid Tuesday morning, making “freedom” the focus of his announcement video. “When I ran for president four years ago, I said we’re in the battle for the soul of America. And we still are,” Biden says in the three-minute video. “The question we’re facing is whether in the years ahead we have more freedom or less freedom. More rights or fewer rights. I know what I want the answer to be, and I think you do, too. This is not a time to be complacent. That’s why I’m running for re-election."

A short time later, CNN announced that CNN This Morning co-host Don Lemon was fired as well.
