Friday Talking Points -- Will Trump Take The Bait?

[ Posted Friday, October 14th, 2022 – 16:29 UTC ]

Maybe he'll actually take the bait, who knows?

Maybe Donald Trump's planet-sized ego and rampant unbridled narcissism will convince him that there just is no possible downside to testifying in front of the January 6th House Select Committee. This isn't just idle speculation, as hours after yesterday's hearing New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman posted the following (which has since been similarly reported in multiple media outlets):

Since it became public that the House select committee planned to subpoena Trump for his testimony, the former president has been telling aides he favors doing so, so long as he gets to do so live, according to a person familiar with his discussions. However, it is unclear whether the committee would accept such a demand.

Sounds like a plan. Put him on live television. He'd love it. He'd get great ratings (which is truly all he cares about when appearing on television), since tens of millions would watch. All his MAGA followers would watch to cheer for Trump, and the rest of the country wouldn't be able to resist watching, just to see the fireworks. The nation's strategic popcorn reserves would run dangerously low, that's our guess.

Trump released a letter this morning which is chock-full of invective and insinuation against what he likes to call the "unselect committee" and lefties in general, but any mention of the subpoena or Trump testifying is notable for its absence. So maybe he really is seriously thinking about it?

Of course, if Trump did appear, it would be a three-ring circus from the start. Trump has taken part in literally thousands of lawsuits, but somehow still doesn't have any sort of basic understanding of the legal process or the governmental process or the U.S. Constitution in general.

If Trump did appear, it would be at a congressional hearing. He would be under oath, giving testimony. It would not be a trial. It isn't even an investigation which could lead to an indictment, since a whole separate branch of government is in charge of such things. Trump would not be allowed to "cross-examine" anyone (since he would be the only witness, what's he going to do, cross-examine himself?), and he would definitely not be allowed to call his own witnesses. But, being Trump, he does not understand this even on a basic level. To him, all the world's a stage, and a courtroom merely one type of performance art. To say nothing of a committee hearing room.

The committee would expect to conduct the interview as it has conducted every other interview: the witness would be sworn in, and then the witness would politely answer questions from the committee members. The witness wouldn't get to question the committee, since that's not how the process works (except to clarify certain points about the questions asked).

But that is decidedly not what would happen if Trump did show up. Far from it.

First, Trump would demand to make an opening statement. That much is pretty guaranteed. He would likely ramble on for at least 45 minutes to an hour, venting his spleen as only he can (and he is a master of the spleen-venting art, it must be acknowledged). If the committee didn't let him finish his tirade, he would claim they were "censoring" him and "not being fair" to him and all sorts of other nefarious things.

So let's say the committee does allow him all the time he needs to get all the venting he needs to off his chest. The smart thing for them to do at that point would be to just completely ignore it all and begin questioning Trump, although I could see Bennie Thompson (or perhaps Liz Cheney) actually taking the time to refute Trump's fantastical and made-up claims for a few moments. Either way, though, the next phase would soon begin.

Anyone who has watched any of the hearings so far knows what is supposed to happen next. The committee members (and their lawyers) pose questions to the witness. The witness is allowed to confer with his or her lawyer before answering, and has a number of choices. They can either answer the question fully and honestly, they can answer the question partially (on advice of their lawyers to avoid anything that could fall under "executive privilege," for instance), or they can completely refuse to answer the question on the grounds that the answer is covered by executive privilege. The only other option is to refuse to answer the question entirely, on the Fifth Amendment grounds that it may tend to incriminate them. Those are supposed to be the only options.

Trump wouldn't be limited by that list, of course. Trump would treat the entire thing as if it was a presidential debate, which is to say: "as if there were no rules which applied to him at all." He would talk all over the questioners. He would interrupt, he would yell, he would try to intimidate them, he would bluster, he would ridicule them, he would personally insult them and their families, he would bring up completely unrelated and not-even-tangential issues, he would spend his entire time trying to score points, period. Anyone who has the slightest doubt that this is precisely what would happen should go watch clips of Trump debating, because it wouldn't just be "exactly like that," it would likely be ten times worse.

What Trump would not do is to actually answer any questions put to him. Does anyone really honestly think he would? He will ignore the question. He will answer the question he wishes had been asked, instead. Or he will just sink into the mire of playground taunts. Again: go watch any of his debates if you doubt this.

How would Bennie Thompson react to this tsunami of irrelevancy? It's tough to tell, really. Would he shut Trump's microphone down? Would he attempt to gavel Trump to silence? Would he threaten to hold Trump in contempt of Congress for his childish display of boorishness? Thompson seems like he's got a core of steel but usually doesn't let it show -- instead he displays intelligence and righteousness in a very calm and sobering manner. But how would that stack up against a Trumpnado of bluster and rudeness?

Our educated guess is that at some point during the proceedings -- probably within the first half-hour (just a guess, mind you) -- Donald Trump would completely flip out, lose his cool, stand up, and huffily walk out of the hearing. Nothing like a surprise ending, right? He'd then likely grandstand for the cameras outside the hearing room, just to vent his spleen a little more.

But we do have to admit the entire experience would indeed be "must-see TV." We'd watch. We'd be glued to our set, in fact. And so would (at a guess) at least 100 million other Americans.

Which Trump knows, full well. That's the catnip, for him. That's the bait. A bigger audience than he's had since he was president. All eyes on him. Stellar television ratings. Him getting to "tell his side of the story." Him getting to tell the committee members exactly what he thinks of them in the most scathingly personal terms imaginable, starting with Liz Cheney. Him against the committee, with no holds barred.

Trump also knows full well that no matter what happened in the hearing he would emerge and proclaim himself the victor. He would crow about how wonderful his performance was, how it was the best political performance not just in all of American history, but in all of human history all the way back to the beginning of time, and he would brag about how "perfect" his appearance was right up until the day he died. All of that is pretty much guaranteed.

So what's to stop him? If he can spin anything into a smashing victory against his nefarious opponents, why wouldn't he jump at the chance to do so?

One can only hope....

This was all precipitated, of course, by the House January 6th Select Committee voting unanimously yesterday to issue a subpoena to Donald Trump.

Which was merely one part of a very bad week for Trump's legal team, in the larger universe of legal proceedings against him. One judge ruled that Trump has to sit for a deposition in the case brought against him by E. Jean Carroll, who has accused Trump of raping her. The deposition will likely take place next week.

Without fanfare, the Supreme Court summarily dismissed Trump's appeal in the case of the government documents he stole when leaving the White House, with a terse, one-sentence ruling: "The application to vacate the stay entered by the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit on September 21, 2022, presented to Justice Thomas and by him referred to the Court is denied." That one probably hurt the most, out of all the bad legal news this week.

In New York, the state attorney general moved to freeze all the assets of the Trump Organization, although it remains to be seen whether she'll convince the judge to do so or not. If it happens, it would be a body blow to Trump's real estate empire.

More grand jury depositions took place this week, on the January 6th insurrection. These aren't the workings of the House committee, this is the Justice Department's investigation, which has a lot more legal might behind their subpoenas.

It also seems that a worker at Trump's Florida golf resort has been spilling the beans to the F.B.I. and is now talking to the press about having to move boxes of possibly-classified documents from the storage room where they were supposed to be kept to Trump's personal residence.

All of this has added up to quite a few legal bills for Trump, so much so that it is eating up many millions of dollars of donor money that could have been spent on the midterm elections. What a shame!

Once again, Trump has also eaten up most of this week-in-review segment of the column, so we're just going to whip through a few other notable events and then move on to the awards section. And we do have one surprise for readers later: short talking points, for once! So you've got that to look forward to....

Plenty of Republican senators and Senate candidates made news this week, starting with Tommy Tuberville just going full-on racist at a Trump rally in Nevada. He has managed to get away with this, with minor blowback, for two reasons: the media lets Republicans get away with naked bigotry these days, and his own party simply doesn't care since Donald Trump so obviously approves. Democrats, of course, handle things differently, but we're getting ahead of ourselves.

Pennsylvania Senate wannabe Mehmet "Dr." Oz killed puppies. And the Democrats are going to make sure as many people in Pennsylvania hear about this as possible. Because... well... puppies.

Oz also gave a speech this week standing in front of Adolf Hitler's car, complete with swastikas. You just couldn't make this stuff up if you tried!

Herschel Walker continues to crash and burn, in case anyone's interested. The Republicans aren't, they're all standing staunchly with him no matter what. Morally reprehensible? Who cares, in today's Republican Party!

Most pathetic performance of the week was Senator Mike Lee begging Mitt Romney to endorse him, on nationwide television. To date, Romney has not done so.

That's about all the campaign bilge we can stomach for one week. A few positive items from the other side of the aisle, a story of shining achievement for humankind, and one final amusing bit and we're done.

Bob Menendez is leading the charge in the Senate to immediately halt all weapons sales to Saudi Arabia, after they effectively sided with Vladimir Putin by agreeing to decrease oil production. It is rumored that Joe Biden is also interested in sending a message to the Saudis, so this could actually become a reality.

Biden's move to pardon people convicted of simple possession of marijuana in federal court is wildly popular among the public, which should come as no surprise to anyone.

NASA successfully smacked a spacecraft into a small asteroid and by doing so proved its orbit and trajectory could be changed. The results were far beyond what they were hoping for, in fact. We wrote about this earlier in the week, because it is the first "proof of concept" of what could become a planetary-defense system to be used against any threatening comet or asteroid. This is big news for the human race, in other words!

In big news for the feline race, we end with 10 Downing Street's chief mouser, Larry The Cat. Larry is a pretty feisty kitty, and has been seen driving other animals off the property (pigeons, another ministry's cat, etc.). But this week footage emerged of Larry taking on a fox that is easily half again as big as Larry. Larry fearlessly walks up to the fox, the fox attempts to hide in a flowerbed, so Larry takes a literal flying leap at him and lands with all claws drawn. Sadly, the bushes obscure the moment of truth, but the fox soon emerges and flees, with Larry hot on his trail. The fox then (perhaps to save some face) tries again, but Larry stares it down and chases it off once again.

Now that is a First Cat worthy of the name! Go Larry!

 

Most Impressive Democrat Of The Week

There was one Democrat who turned in an impressive performance this week, but an earlier entry was better, so we're only going to give Tim Ryan an Honorable Mention.

Ryan is running for the Senate in Ohio, and he debated his opponent J.D. Vance this week. Earlier, while appearing at a rally for Vance, Donald Trump had mocked him with:

J.D. is kissing my ass! He wants my support so much. I think he's running, J.D., on an "I love Donald Trump" policy. Yeah, he said some bad things about me, but that's before he knew me, and then he fell in love.

So Ryan turned it all back on Vance, right to his face:

I don't know anybody I grew up with, I don't know anybody I went to high school with, that would allow someone to take their dignity like that and then get back up onstage. We need leaders who have courage to take on their own party. And I've proven that. And he was called an ass-kisser by the former president.

Ouch. Later in the debate, Ryan tightened it up into a memorable campaign slogan:

I'm for Ohio. I don't kiss anyone's ass like him. Ohio needs an ass-kicker not an ass-kisser.

That is definitely an award-worthy takedown, folks!

But this week we're retroactively giving the Most Impressive Democrat Of The Week award to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.

We all got a very candid behind-the-scenes look at what Pelosi's leadership looks like yesterday, as the House Select Committee played video of Pelosi and other congressional leaders (of both parties) during the siege and invasion of the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021.

Pelosi (and, to be fair, all the other leaders) are all doing exactly what Donald Trump should have been doing, but refused to. They are desperately trying to get some help to the forces defending the Capitol. They are seen calling the governors of Maryland and Virginia, the Pentagon, the attorney general, and Vice President Mike Pence, begging them all to send in the cavalry.

Throughout it all, of course, Trump was gleefully watching television.

Pelosi stands out in these videos. She is genuinely shocked at the events unfolding, she is determined to get the ball rolling on sending in the National Guard (or anyone else who might help), and she is resolute and direct and decisive throughout it all.

In a word, she showed real leadership.

She kept her head while others about her were losing theirs. She did what she had to do, and she did so as effectively as possible. She stepped into the leadership void that Trump had left behind.

Pelosi did have one moment where she blew off some steam, which is understandable given all she had faced that day. Here's the story:

New footage from Jan. 6, 2021, shows a candid moment when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi threatened to physically strike then-President Trump, should he have joined those protesting at the Capitol.

In the video, which was publicly shared Thursday, Pelosi admits the actions could have resulted in her going to prison -- a consequence she said she would "be happy" to accept.

"I hope he comes, I'm going to punch him out," Pelosi tells her Chief of Staff Terri McCullough, who discourages her boss from making the comments. "I've been waiting for this, for trespassing on the Capitol grounds. I'm going to punch him out."

"I'm going to go to jail, and I'm going to be happy," the speaker added.

Obviously, she was kidding. We think.

Seriously though, Nancy Pelosi is second in line to the presidency. If events had turned out differently that dark day, she might even have become president before the next day dawned. If Mike Pence had actually been captured by the mob, they might have either torn him to bits or frogmarched him out to that gallows they had set up outside the building and hanged him. If the cabinet had moved to declare Donald Trump unfit to serve via the 25th Amendment, Nancy Pelosi might have had to step into the job for the next two weeks (technical note: this section of the 25th Amendment has never been used and is more complicated than people think, so even if it had been invoked, Pelosi might not have become "acting president").

If this had indeed come to pass, those video clips clearly show she would have been up to the task.

So even though these videos are almost two years old now, Nancy Pelosi is definitely our Most Impressive Democrat Of The Week. In a time of chaos and crisis, she showed unflinching leadership. There really is no higher praise than that for any politician.

[Congratulate Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi on her official contact page, to let her know you appreciate her efforts.]

 

Most Disappointing Democrat Of The Week

First, allow us to say one final thing, as Tulsi Gabbard officially departs the Democratic Party: "Buh-bye! Don't let the door hit you on your way out!"

Sorry... we just had to get that off our chest.

Snark aside, however, this week's Most Disappointing Democrat Of The Week was painfully easy to identify, even though it's pretty far down the food chain of politics.

Early this week, the Los Angeles Times published an exposé based on an audio recording which had been anonymously posted online. Nobody disputed that the audio consisted of a conversation between at least four people: three members of the Los Angeles City Council and one local Labor leader. They were talking about redistricting the city (after the 2020 Census) and plotting to draw the lines to increase Latino representation at the expense of Black and other minority voters. The language used is reprehensible. It is racist, plain and simple. There's no other word for it.

The speaker of the racist lines is City Council President Nury Martinez. The other two councilmembers are Gil Cedillo and Kevin de León. The fourth participant in the conversation is Los Angeles County Federation of Labor President Ron Herrera.

Universally, Democrats condemned Martinez and her odious racism. Everyone from California's governor all the way up to President Joe Biden called for her to immediately resign. The (Democratic) state attorney general is now investigating the entire city's redistricting process. This is all exactly what is supposed to happen when a member of a political party is proven to have done something indefensibly racist.

At first, Martinez somehow believed she could survive the political firestorm. She apologized and resigned her presidency of the city council... but not her seat on the council. She announced she would be taking a leave of absence, in the hopes it would all blow over and die down after a while. She was wrong. A few days later, she bowed to the inevitable and resigned completely.

The Labor leader has also resigned his presidency. Unfortunately, the two other council members have not. They did not make any racist remarks on the recording, but then again they didn't have anything to say to Martinez when she did. They didn't object or push back in any way.

Gil Cedillo and Kevin de León are toast, politically. They are dead men walking. They still somehow think they can brazen it out and continue their political careers, but they are wrong. Condoning (with their silence) remarks like this in the Democratic Party is disqualifying, period.

Kevin de León is probably the most frustrated by this turn of events, because he had a lot of ambition and saw for himself much greater things in the California Democratic Party. He had previously been a member of both houses of the state legislature, including a leadership position in the state senate. He displayed the measure of his political ambition in 2018, when he primaried Dianne Feinstein for her U.S. Senate seat. Feinstein won the two-person runoff in that race, but only by a little over eight percent. De León obviously had bigger and better things in mind for his political future.

But that dream is now over. When the two councilmembers tried to behave as if it were all somehow behind everyone (now that Martinez resigned), the acting president of the city council abruptly cancelled a council meeting scheduled to happen today, and issued a statement: "The people's business cannot be conducted until we have these next two resignations."

As of this writing, the two still have not resigned. But at this point, it is inevitable.

We are handing out Most Disappointing Democrat Of The Week awards to all four of the participants of this call. Martinez is guiltiest, of course, but the other three also deserve their political fate as well.

Racist talk may be condoned or even celebrated in the Republican Party these days. But the Democratic Party should speak with once voice in proclaiming such behavior absolutely disqualifying for any Democratic politician. Because America needs at least one party utterly dedicated to the fight against racism.

[Due to their resignations, former City Council President Nury Martinez and former Los Angeles County Federation of Labor President Ron Herrera are now private citizens, and it is our standing policy not to provide contact information for such persons. However, you can contact Los Angeles City Councilmember Gil Cedillo via his contact page, and Kevin de León on his contact page, to let them know what you think of their actions.]

 

Friday Talking Points

Volume 681 (10/14/22)

We've got a rather unique talking points section this week, for two reasons. The first is that we don't ever recall dedicating the entire section to what is essentially taunting one person. Perhaps we have (with Donald Trump, it's certainly possible, we freely admit), but we don't recall.

Second, it's going to be short. No, really! We know the audience we are trying to reach is easily distracted and favors to-the-point sentences, so that's what we're going to provide. We'll even limit ourselves to a single word as a lead-in, for each of them.

Perhaps this is silly, but at this moment in time it would seem like a goodly thing for all Democrats to focus on taunting Donald Trump. The late-night comics are already going full-steam-ahead in this effort, and it's such a fun game to play we feel that Democrats should get in on the action.

So here are our seven discrete (but never discreet!) talking points, each and every one of them aimed directly at Donald Trump's ego.

 

1
   Hoax!

Let's start with the basic argument, shall we?

"You said you want to get your side of the story out there, right? So why not expose this gigantic hoax in front of the American people? Why not show us all what a big witch hunt it all is?"

 

2
   Fun! (Part 1)

Toss the catnip with abandon.

"They'd probably allow you to give an opening statement, and you could make it as long as you liked -- wouldn't that be fun?"

 

3
   Fun! (Part 2)

A lot more fun that what you've got now....

"Wouldn't it be a lot more fun than just using Truth Social to reach a small audience of followers? I mean, you'd be on teevee! On every channel! Everybody would get to see!"

 

4
   Weenies!

Nothing like feeding into his instinct to insult and his instinct for self-aggrandizement, right?

"You're smarter than all those pointy-headed weenies on the committee, right? Why not show everyone how much smarter you are by telling them what you think of them to their faces?"

 

5
   Ratings!

This is the catnip extraordinaire, of course.

"The ratings would be off the charts! It'd draw an audience of, like, half the American population! No president or politician has ever accomplished such a feat! They'd be the greatest ratings ever!!!"

 

6
   Election!

Why not? Maybe he'll buy it....

"Why not appear right before the midterm election? You could make the case to all the voters how the election was stolen from you and undermine their faith in their vote being counted! Because that'll motivate more of them to vote for your candidates! You could guarantee a Republican landslide by appearing before the election! Why not do so?!?"

 

7
   Victory!

And finally, we just can't resist....

"Just think of how good it'll feel to walk out of the committee room and proclaim victory to the cameras! I mean, seriously... what could possibly go wrong?"

    Definitely classified documents that the employee was ordered by Trump to have moved but only after Trump had already received a subpoena for their return to NARA and after Trump having claimed through an attorney that he had returned them already.

    Obstruction of justice with video evidence.

    So.. Let's recap the events from the previous day.. :D

    We discovered that Russ The Shitty Husband had cajoled his alleged spouse, who is supposedly a police officer, but there are facts to support that this is not factually accurate. Anyways, Russ The Shitty Husband cajoled his spouse into running a background check on me..

    Why would Russ The Shitty Husband do this?? Why would Russ the Shitty Husband ask his spouse to commit a FELONY!!??? Why would Russ The Shitty Husband do something so low down and contemptible??

    Well, because at the time (AND continuing to this day) I was kicking Russ The Shitty Husband's ass all up and down Weigantia®, day after day..

    So, Russ The Shitty Husband has his (alleged) spouse who is a police officer, run a background check (commonly known amongst LEOs such as myself as an NCIC run..)..

    Russ The Shitty Husband brags about this background check here in Weigantia...

    As for his work history.... Michale used to claim he was in law enforcement for almost 25 years...but the truth is that IF he was ever in was a LEO, it was maybe for 2.5 years when he was a MP in the military. And based on the background check that was run on him, if he ever was a LEO it is unlikely that he could have been one for long given his record.
    -Russ

    I mean, honestly.. What kind of moron ADMITS to committing a felony in a public forum!??

    Anyways, at the time, I responded to this utterly MORONIC confession from Russ The Shitty Husband with musings that I should file a complaint with the alleged spouse's Department. When a police officer misuses the NCIC system for personal use, it's a felony.. More on THAT later.. Filing a complaint against a police officer for committing a felony is a reasonable and responsible reaction to said felony, no??

    Now keep in mind that this all happened over 2 years ago, but Vick The Moron (more on her later :D) dredged it all up again..

    WHY would Vick The Moron dredge it all up again, you ask??

    Well, because (as with Russ The Shitty Husband) I have been kicking HER ass all up and down Weigantia since my return after my recovery and convalescence..

    OK, so here we are... Russ The Shitty Husband cajoled his alleged spouse who is allegedly a police officer into committing a felony by running a background check on me, SOLELY because I was (and continues to) mentally kicking his ass all over Weigantia®..

    In response to that I responded to Russ The Shitty Husband with a long comment, part of which said:

    I might have to file a complaint with the PD that Russ's husband works for.. Shouldn't be too difficult to ascertain which Department he works for.. Russ has left plenty of clues..

    Yep.. I think a complaint is definitely warranted...

    Again, a reasonable reaction to Russ The Shitty Husband's confession that he and his alleged spouse had committed a felony.. A complaint was DEFINITELY warranted..

    ANYONE here would have done the same faced with the same circumstances...

    OK Now lets time travel 2+ years into the future to yesterday where Vick The Moron had dredged this all up..

    Now, HERE is where it gets REALLY funny!!! :D

    Vick The Moron REALLY earned her moniker here.. :D

    This is EXACTLY what Vick The Moron said:

    "It is not a crime for a police officer to perform a background check, you inveterate effing uneducated hysterical ranting swamp poon;"
    -Vick The Moron

    BBWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    Can ya'all BELIEVE that Vick The Moron would be such a well.. such a moron!! :D

    As I am wont to do, I responded to Vick The Moron's unbelievably moronic claim with the FACTS..

    Officer Faces Felony Charge For Unauthorized Background Check
    November 12, 2019

    After running a background check without a permissible purpose, a police officer faces a serious criminal charge.

    The Story
    A police officer in Peoria, Arizona stands accused of wrongfully running a background check on a citizen. Allegedly, the officer agreed to look up information about a woman at the request of a friend. This friend was reportedly interested in dating a co-worker but first wanted to know if she has a criminal record.

    The officer allegedly provided a completed background report to his friend. After reviewing, that friend approached the woman he hoped to date and referenced a personal experience which he should not have known. When asked how he got that information, the man shared the story of what happened.

    Soon after, the co-worker called local police and filed a complaint.

    Officers are permitted to run license plates while on active duty, but they are not allowed to run background checks on individuals without cause. The officer who stands accused of running an unauthorized background report faces a class six felony charge. He was placed on administrative leave and later resigned.
    https://tinyurl.com/kkpeaywf

    A police officer was *ARRESTED* for a felony for doing the *EXACT SAME THING* that Russ The Shitty Husband's alleged spouse did..

    EXACTLY...

    Running an ILLEGAL background check at the behest of a 3rd Party..

    That is EXACTLY what happened with Russ The Shitty Husband..

    And THAT's where we are today!!! :D

    Russ The Shitty Husband is a shitty husband for asking his spouse to commit A FELONY... I mean, WHO DOES THAT!!??? What kind of sick twisted poor excuse of a MAN would ask his spouse to commit a felony!??

    And why?? ALL because Russ The Shitty Husband was (and is) getting his ass kicked all up and down Weigantia®

    And Vick The Moron??

    Claiming that "It is not a crime for a police officer to perform a background check.." when it most certainly is not only a crime, but a FELONY!!!

    There is a factually accurate re-creation of the facts from yesterday..

    "But today.... is a new day!!!"
    -Chicken Little

    And it's going to be a FRABJOOUS day... I have LOTS to cover beyond Russ The Shitty Husband and Vick The Moron laughably inaccurate and bullshit statements..

    Hold onto yer seats!! :D

    2 years ago (and to this day) Russ The Shitty Husband was getting his ass kicked all up and down Weigantia® by yours truly..

    Russ The Shitty Husband cajoled his alleged* spouse into running an illegal NCIC background check on me because of his daily ass-kickings..

    I responded with the idea that maybe I should file a complaint with Russ The Shitty Husband's alleged* spouse's PD, because such an action on the spouse's part is a FELONY...

    Then yesterday, Vick The Moron made this OUTRAGEOUSLY moronic and fact-less statement...

    " "It is not a crime for a police officer to perform a background check.."
    -Vick The Moron

    Which of course, anyone who has more than 2 brain cells to rub together KNOWS that such an action is not only a CRIME, it's a FELONY!!!

    And THAT'S the Cliff Notes version...

    *I always say "alleged" spouse because there are ZERO facts to support the claim that Russ The Shitty Husband even HAS a spouse. And there are several facts to support the claim that Russ The Shitty Husband does NOT have a spouse.. So, if it turns out that I am factually accurate (which it usually does and I usually am) then Russ The Shitty Husband would become just Russ Shitty... I dunno.. I'll mull that over. :D

    Opinion The Jan. 6 committee preaches to the choir

    There are few things as irritating as a preacher who just won’t end his sermon until someone, anyone, finally steps forward to confess and repent, regardless of how far most minds long ago drifted off to thoughts of football, afternoon naps and Sunday dinner.

    That’s what the tedious Jan. 6 committee feels like, with committee members determined to convince everyone, no matter how tired, uninterested or skeptical, that former president Donald Trump is evil incarnate, that his followers are dangerously wayward enablers, and that renouncing them both is the only road to salvation. Can we get an amen?

    Most of Thursday’s presentation was a monotonous rehash of what committee members apparently felt was their most damning and convincing details, all leading to the clear political stunt of issuing a subpoena for Trump, which, if it were a serious move, would have been done at the beginning of the hearings, not the end. As law professor Jonathan Turley was quick to point out, the move comes quite late in the game, and Trump will likely never be forced to comply.

    French philosopher Michel de Montaigne once quipped that “there is no conversation more boring than the one where everybody agrees.” My experience is that talking only to people with whom you agree (or only watching people on TV with whom you agree) is not only boring, it makes us more uninformed. I rarely learn anything from talking to people who agree with me.

    But getting back to RCP...

    Allow me to relay to ya'all some very simple rules on how to handle disagreement..

    The BIGGEST one..

    Acknowledge the possibility you are wrong. No one is right all the time; therefore, there will be occasions when your conclusion is wrong. Routinely stop and think about whether that may be the case.

    This is the BIGGEST problem ya'all have.. To be fair, not ALL of ya'all have this problem.. Russ The Shitty Husband and Vick The Moron DEFINITELY suffer from this malady... Jean Luc and Liz do not..

    NONE of ya'all (NEN) can concede when you are wrong..

    The exchange with Vick The Moron yesterday is a PERFECT example..

    Vick The Moron said that it is not illegal for a police officer to run a background check.. In the context that we were discussing, it certainly IS illegal to for a police officer to run a background.. Not only is it illegal, it's a FELONY!!

    But did Vick The Moron admit she was wrong?? Of course she didn't.. So I had to slam her down BIG TIME..

    Had Vick The Moron said, "Yunno, Michale.. Yer right.. I was mistaken in my claim. I apologize.."

    I would have responded with a "Thank You, Kick" and ALL of these multitude of comments could have been avoided..

    Another perfect example was when Bashi attacked my wife and dragged her into a Flame War...

    He was DEFINITLY wrong in doing that..

    He KNOWS he was wrong..

    Even JL and Liz KNOW Bashi was wrong..

    I even TOLD him, "If ya just admit you were wrong and apologize for attacking my wife we can forget ALL about it.. Water under the bridge.. I can forgive a LOT when there is a sincere apology.." *

    But Bashi simply COULD NOT admit he was wrong and we are still at each other's throats..

    Upwards of NINETY PERCENT of comments and 100% of Flame Wars could be avoided if ya'all (NEN) could just admit ya'all are wrong..

    When it happens to me, when *I* am wrong, I readily concede the point and move on..

    Too bad ya'all (NEN) don't have the same strength of character and self-respect.. :eyeroll:

    There's No Sign of Inflation Easing Up

    No one expected the Federal Reserve to be able to smother inflation swiftly. But after seven months of rapidly rising interest rates, the central bank has hardly made a dent.

    Thursday’s look at the September consumer price data shows we’re not much better off now than we were in March, when the Fed began its aggressive monetary tightening. Back then, overall consumer prices were up 8.5% year over year. Now, they’re up 8.2%.

    Core prices, which exclude volatile food and energy categories and are widely seen as a more reliable barometer of underlying inflation, hit 6.6% annually in September — their highest since 1982.

    The Democrats’ Willie Horton Problem

    Diana Allocco lays down the facts regarding the Willie Horton case and how Democrats have forgotten the vital lessons from the unfortunate incidents.

    The nation’s 2022 top-tier fear is crime. Three quarters of Americans say violent crime is a major problem, and getting worse. Democrats’ cashless bail laws, attacks on police, and other liberal soft-on-crime policies have unleashed unrestrained criminality across the country, particularly in Democrat-run cities, where dangerous criminals are no longer locked up in jail. At all. “Arrested-and-released” is now the most common phrase in every crime article.

    And this is not just theory to people, or some kind of political talking point. According to a recent Golden/TIPP poll, a record 16 percent of Americans themselves or a family member have been victims of crime — and the distressing numbers are particularly elevated among African Americans, Hispanics, and urban voters, where close to 25 percent — one in four — are crime victims.

    Republicans are campaigning hard for the midterms on the real problem of crime — and gaining traction everywhere. The Democrat response: “That’s racist! It’s Willie Horton all over again! Shut up!”

    Democrats Revert. With Democrats’ reclaiming full national power in 2020 and capitalizing on their control of big cities — and forgetting the harsh political lessons they were taught by outraged voters over a generation ago — Democrats have eagerly returned to their criminal-coddling roots. True to form, they are letting felons out of prison. Proudly. And everywhere they rule.

    They have implemented their favorite leftist soft-on-crime policies, like non-prosecution of offenses. They have commuted sentences. They have eliminated cash bail. They have saved their harshest rhetoric and punitive policies for police. To put it succinctly, Democrats have, in places they run, basically decriminalized crime.

    Yep... Yep... Yep....

    In 1988, Democrats had a “Willie Horton problem.” Their problem was: Willie Horton. In other words, the Democrats’ problem was the facts of the case, the truth of what actually happened in the real world — the horror — as a direct result of Democrat policies.

    In 2022, the Democrats’ problem is the same as before, the predators they let out to prey on the innocent. But now, the Democrats have moved on and moved up. Their criminals aren’t rewarded with a mere weekend furlough — these days they get a forever furlough. These criminals own the streets — and virtually imprison the rest of us.

    The results are utterly predictable. As is the voter response, coming November 8.

    JD Vance Delivers Political KO to Tim Ryan

    Vance went right for the political jugular with a brutal statistical smackdown of Ryan on the economy, which remains by far the most salient of this election for voters in Ohio, and indeed nationwide. Vance indicted Ryan’s long tenure in politics by pointing out that “Tim Ryan represents a congressional district that has lost 50,000 jobs just in his time in office.”

    On the issue of the economy, Vance also skillfully forced Ryan to own the harsh financial crisis created by Joe Biden for Americans who suffer from both a Biden recession as well as historic Biden-induced levels of inflation. This dreadful combination, unseen since the 1980s in America, forms a new era of stagflation: receding growth but rising prices, placing Ohioans into an economic vise.

    Ryan tried to somehow paint Vance as a pro-China candidate, a laughable assertion considering that Vance stands out as one of the most aggressive economic populist nationalists in politics right now, advocating for much harsher tariffs on China to protect American workers from the predatory practices of the Chinese Communist Party.

    Unfortunately, Ryan and his bestie Joe Biden have long coddled the CCP, to the great misfortune of Ohio workers. For example, from 2001 until 2016, Ohio lost a staggering 121,000 manufacturing jobs directly due to terrible trade deals with China.

    ‘Pessimistic’ voters: Crushed by gas prices and fading personal finances

    Voters are in a pessimistic mood as they head into the November midterm elections, deflated by rising gas prices and sinking personal finances, according to a memo obtained by Secrets.

    Recently hopeful that high gas prices and inflation would be temporary, as the Biden administration had claimed, the switch back to higher prices has voters sour again, and that could result in Democrats paying a price at the polls.

    “Voters have been pessimistic about the economy throughout 2022. However, there was a notable decline in pessimism over the course of the summer as gas prices fell. More recently, as gas prices have gone up again, economic pessimism has increased as well,” said the three-page memo.

    It was done by pollster Scott Rasmussen’s RMG Research for the influential America First Policy Institute. The focus was the public’s “perception” of economic conditions a month from Election Day.

    More than any other issue, RMG said personal finances are driving voters in an election reminiscent of the 1992 contest when former President Bill Clinton’s chief strategist James Carville famously wrote on a campaign office whiteboard, “The economy, stupid.”

    A regional convenience store operator is closing two sites in the heart of Philadelphia's business district amid an uptick in retail crime. The stores are located on 12th and 19th and Market Streets in the Center City area.

    "Despite reducing hours and investing in additional operational measures, continued safety and security challenges and business factors have made it increasingly difficult to remain open in these two locations," the company said in a statement on Thursday. "All associates from these two stores will be offered continued employment at Wawa."

    And what do you say about all the OTHER Democrats that are leaving the Democrat Party by the MILLIONS??

    Hmmmmmm????

    Tulsi Gabbard is not alone

    Gabbard's comments are certainly reflective of a wider sentiment among many on the liberal Left, myself included, who feel increasingly disenfranchised by Democrats' current policies. A recent Pew Research Center study underlines this political fatigue.

    Discontented liberals make up 10% of adults. They are described as holding views ranging from "liberal" to "very liberal" on most social issues. Fifty-seven percent are women, and 83% are under the age of 50. They typically vote Democratic but are less politically engaged than others in the party. For example, this group was 9 percentage points less likely than the average citizen to vote in the 2020 presidential election and 11 points less likely to vote than the average Democrat. Only 3 in 10 identify as Democrats, and about 5 in 10 identify as Democratic-leaning independents. They are more likely to have supported Bernie Sanders in the 2020 Democratic primaries. Most reported feeling like "none of the candidates for public office represent their views well" and that there is little difference in what the two parties stand for.

    For the roughly 3 in 4 who report not feeling "satisfied with the way things are going in the country," Gabbard’s message is a reminder that their disillusionment is real. But it also offers hope of change to come.

    Last summer, President Joe Biden and his entire White House economic team were swearing up and down that inflation was merely "transitory." They brushed off concerns that Biden's unnecessary post-COVID stimulus package was fueling the inflationary fire.

    "As our economy comes roaring back, we've seen some price increases," Biden admitted. "My administration understands that, were we ever to experience unchecked inflation in the long term, that would pose a real challenge for our economy. While we're confident that isn't what we're seeing today, we're going to remain vigilant about any response that is needed."

    In other words, they knew the risks they were running when they advanced inflationary policies such as Biden's so-called American Rescue Plan, borrowing and spending $1.9 trillion. They knew this year that they were doing more of the same when they advanced the farcically named Inflation Reduction Act, another inflationary bill fueled by deficit spending.

    Now, everyone except Joe Biden will pay the price for his fecklessness. This week's data showing inflation stubbornly persisting at above 8% annually — a 40-year high — is a reminder of Democrats' cavalier and dishonest attitude toward this very real problem for middle- and low-income families.

    For all their lip service to ideas about so-called "equity" and their feigned concern for the poor, Democrats have pursued a policy platform that brutally punishes low-income earners and disproportionately harms nonwhite Americans. Inflation, after all, is most damaging to people who rent instead of owning homes, lack access to sophisticated retirement savings vehicles, deal primarily in cash (typical of many immigrant populations), and spend a large proportion of their incomes on food, clothing, and shelter.

    Democrats have been WRONG on every economic decision they have made in the last 2 years..

    Culminating with the HORRIBLY mis-named Inflation Reduction Act..

    And act that actually INCREASED inflation!!

    And, let's hear from a DEMOCRAT about it, eh?? :D

    January 6 and Justice Department Overreach: The Public Rejects Both

    The public believes that former President Donald Trump bears significant and perhaps criminal responsibility for what happened at the Capitol on Jan. 6, but also believes that the Justice Department and the FBI are overreaching in their actions against the former president, his aides, and private citizens. The net of all the back and forth so far is that the ratings of Trump seem to have increased and the favorability of the Justice Department and FBI have declined.

    Sometimes you have to fight fire with water, not fire. By that I mean when you are up against someone you believe is breaking the rules, strict adherence to the rules in pursuing them is of even greater importance to reestablish the rule of law. That’s not what the public sees happening here.

    Take the January 6 Committee – could it have functioned if it had been properly constituted with nearly equal members of both parties and subpoena power for the minority as well as the majority? Of course. It would have been contentious, but all sides would have gotten to present their best arguments, and while Trump would have been held accountable for his actions on Jan. 6, Nancy Pelosi would have also had to explain if and why she rejected additional security. But instead, Pelosi pushed her partisan advantage to the limits. Little surprise then that the committee looks partisan and has no credibility with most Americans, even if the TV networks give it more time than the Super Bowl. In the July Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll run after the committee’s eight televised hearings, 55% of respondents, including 60% of independent voters, thought the committee was conducting its business in an unfair way.

    This part bears repeating..

    Little surprise then that the committee looks partisan and has no credibility with most Americans, even if the TV networks give it more time than the Super Bowl.

    Get that?? Even though the Left Wing media gave the Cardassians more exposure than THE SUPER BOWL, the Cardassian 6JC STILL fell flat!!

    Let’s look at the actions of the Justice Department. They could have moved in court to enforce the subpoena and asked a judge to demand that Trump turn over his remaining documents. Such a process would be similar to what happened in the fight over the Watergate Tapes or the Clinton historical tapes (that were ruled as personal, not government records). It would have allowed Trump’s lawyers to make their best arguments before a judge and the country. Instead, the Justice Department went to a low-level magistrate judge operating in a one-sided secret process to send dozens of FBI agents to raid the former President’s home. They used their maximum power, given to them to pursue fleeing cartels, against a former president.

    Once again, Democrats prove they are Cardassians..

    The FBI and DOJ’s unprecedented method has split the country. Just over half of voters in the September version of the Harris poll say the Mar-a-Lago raid was a politically motivated use of force rather than the “least invasive” way to retrieve presidential documents. Another half say that the DOJ then exceeded the terms of its warrant by taking too much material from Mar-a-Lago. Americans remain unconvinced that a criminal investigation is even necessary: 52% of voters, including 54% of independents, think the former president’s having documents at home should be handled in non-criminal ways.

    Six in 10 think that if the DOJ wanted Trump’s documents, it should have asked a judge and argued for its motion in open court rather than obtaining a warrant through a one-sided, closed proceeding. And 58% of Americans think the appointment of a special master to review the DOJ’s retrieved documents – as a federal judge later ordered – is reasonable.

Trump’s 2024 prospects are improving too: 59% of GOP voters in the September poll would pick Trump if the Republican presidential primary were held today – up 7 points from July. Even the recent Washington Post-ABC News poll has Trump beating Biden by 2 points while a majority thinks Trump should face possible indictment over Jan. 6.

    Dear GOD you are full of shit!

    1. Devon has never run you through NCIC. Doesn't mean another officer taking a Cyber Stalking report did not run you after you threatened to file a false report against Devon. WA State laws are very protective of victims of Cyber Stalking. Your threats of violence on this site, your hostility to being corrected when you post untrue statements, and your politically motivated bigotry all make you a legitimate threat to everyone's safety. By all means, put in a public record request with WA State Patrol for anytime your name has been run by someone in this state. It won't be Devon's name associated with it, I can guarantee you that! Go ahead, your are such the big man running your mouth on here. I encourage you to put the request in... PROVE ME RIGHT OR PROVE ME WRONG...I WANT YOU TO! You won't... because you are a cowardly little liar.

    2. You intended to file a false police report because you had no idea whether Devon had run you through NCIC and came up with this notion all on your own. I never claimed that Devon was who I received the information from. Any claims of wrong doing on his part only in your own imagination. So any complaint against him you could have filed would have been a false report. Feel free to file a complaint with his police chief. I welcome it! I straight up DARE you to file a complaint. See the response you'll get back! AGAIN, PLEASE DO THIS! I am dying for you to prove me wrong! Cowardly little man stealing valor with his lies.

    You claimed that the info I received was so detailed that it had to come from a report run through NCIC. You still haven't said what that info was.

    Ever heard of NEXUS/LEXUS? Your information is easily accessible. Feel free to pay and run your name and see if it doesn't give you the same info that you claim that I have obtained.

    You won't, because you know I am telling the truth and you are just a lying coward.

    3. It's funny, you've responded to part of my post; but for some reason you did not respond to the part where I asked you why a public records request to FDLE for any information regarding an officer/deputy Michael Worley came back with no records found. So let me ask again... why would a request for records of someone with your name being a member of law enforcement in FL return zero files? WHY? The only answer would be that you were never in law enforcement. Strange that you claimed you were in law enforcement for years on this site and then suddenly changed it and started claiming that you were in "public safety" for 25 - 30 years.

    So just to conclude...

    You threatened to file a false police report against my husband because I proved you were lying simply using your own statements as proof. You threatened my husband's job and our well being simply because you are a pitiful excuse for a human.

    I do not want to date you. The thought of you naked is only used if there is no ipecac syrup available. If your name was run, it was for legitimate reasons.

    Any NCIC report that was run on you would be completely justified for the threat that you have made yourself out to be. You want to know if and who ran one, I told you how to obtain that info.

    Since you are making threats from a different state than which we live, any investigations into your actions would be done by the FBI... you know, those liberal deep state agents out to get people like you. BOO!

    There is no question as to who said what about whose spouse. Michale is the only person to threaten the spouse of a commenter on here. I'm not sure how you would respond to Michale threatening to file a false report with your wife's employer claiming that she committed a crime that she did not do and that only happened in his imagination, but I took it quite seriously. Michale is the first one to tear his blouse falling to his knees screaming that he has been wronged and his loved one's good name attacked if anyone makes a joke that even remotely associates his unnamed wife to the punchline. Yet, no one has EVER threatened his wife in any way. Devon and I are the only two people that I can find looking through past posts where anyone on here has made a real threat to do another person harm. Has anyone ever threatened to take real action against another poster on here that you can recall? And if they did, were they allowed to remain?

    I wish it would stop as well. Michale claims that Democrats do not support the police. He's named me, personally, when he makes such hyperbolic and ignorant accusations... so forgive me for feeling the need to correct him. Yes, it causes him to blow up and start ranting like a complete psychopath with no emotional control whatsoever. But you've been here longer than I have and know that Michale simply refuses to have civilized debate. The irony of his posting multiple comments that are all full of name calling against Kick and myself, questioning my relationship to my husband, my husband's honor, all while altering the actual events as they occurred to better fit his dishonest attack against us only to be followed by a post calling for no more nastiness would be comical if it weren't so stomach turning. He wants to attack my marriage while advertising the he seeks men to fulfill his wife's sexual needs that he was not able to fulfill...and despite the plethora of comments I could make regarding his wife's sexual nature... I have never made a single one. I won't get in the filth with him. But I am growing tired of his dishonesty. He won't follow through with any of the ways he could prove that I was lying... because he knows I was telling the truth. And if Chris is OK with him making real world threats against other posters and their family members on here... that's his call. JL, I hope you will encourage Michale to follow through and take the steps to prove me right or wrong by putting in the public disclosure requests
    with the appropriate WA State agencies. That'll end all this bickering once and for all. The truth is what all of us want, right? Well, most of us anyways.

    Remember a while ago, I was laughing so hard at the gay movie BROS... How the actor in it was complaining that no one came to see his movie and that ANYONE who didn't want to see it is a homophobic bigot??

    Ya'all remember that??

    Well, the facts have come out.. No one wanted to see it because it was simply a horrible movie..

    Why ‘Bros’ Bombed
    The exact right amount of people saw the gay romcom.

    The algorithm knows I’m a man and gay, so I’m often served news about Britney, bodybuilding videos, and, more recently, nonstop ads for the Universal movie Bros, written by Billy Eichner.

    There are moments when Bros is funny—a self-deprecating lampoon of gay life. But mostly it’s a preachy, self-indulgent dumpster fire. At one point, Bobby harangues Aaron’s mother about the need to teach her second-grade students about queer history. The two long hours are replete with partisan finger-wagging, lamentations about erasure, and performative apologies from Bobby for being a “cis white guy.” Half of this alleged comedy is devoted to Bobby’s cranky monologues.
    Turns out, I’m not the only one who felt this way: the romcom flopped opening weekend, earning $4.8 million, “about 40 percent less than the low end of prerelease analyst expectations,” according to the New York Times. Alas, Eichner blamed dismal box-office sales, in a now-deleted Twitter tirade, on “homophobic weirdo” audiences “in certain parts of the country”—which is exactly what we’d expect from the movie’s perennially whiney Bobby.

    Here’s the truth: bigotry is not to blame for the failure of Bros. In fact, most Americans don't care whom you sleep with (or marry!) and have seen complex, three-dimensional gay characters on their screens for years, from Milk to Moonlight.

    The EXACT problem with BROS is, coincidentally, the EXACT problem with Democrats in general..

    Democrats believe that EVERYONE thinks like they do.. And Democrats ALSO believe that those who DON'T think like Democrats do are bigots, racists and all around evil people..

    We see this attitude reflected in practically EVERY commentary and practically EVER comment and commenter here in Weigantia®

    There are notable exceptions and they know who they are..

    And yes.. BROS bombed because it was a gay movie.. But it wasn't because of any gay-hate or bigotry..

    BROS bombed because it was created solely and completely to be a political/ideological statement..

    That was NUMERO UNO priority.. And actual plot and funny stuff were incidental.. They made a POLITICAL/IDEOLOGICAL movie and then tacked on a plot and laughs as an afterthought.

    This part bears repeating..

    There are moments when Bros is funny—a self-deprecating lampoon of gay life.

    BROS was ONLY funny when it was making fun of gay people...

    Let that sink in for a moment..

    A gay man thinks that BROS was only funny when it was making fun of gay men and gay lifestyle... In other words, it was FUNNY when it was mocking the gay lifestyle...

    Now WHY do you think that is?? Hmmmmm???

    In keeping with the theme...

    Why Did Billy Eichner’s ‘Bros’ Bomb at the Box Office?

    Straight People Aren’t Entirely to Blame

    The marketing prioritized the film’s importance over the film’s comedy.

    When “Bros” was announced to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, the press release for the movie called it “one of the first romantic comedies from a major studio to feature an almost entirely 2SLGBTQIA+ cast.” TV spots for “Bros” prioritized a pull quote calling the film “as hilarious as it is historic.” The point here is that “Bros” marketing worked overtime to sell its importance as the first major LGBTQ studio comedy, but aggressively marketing a movie as a glass-ceiling breaker can make it feel like homework for viewers. Many box office pundits agree Universal leaned too much into the film’s importance instead of marketing some of the film’s comedic set pieces in order to get across that it’s a comedy that’s, well, actually very funny. Rarely did the marketing highlight the film is from the director of popular comedies “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” and “Neighbors,” if at all.

    While inclusivity and glass-ceiling breaking are important factors worth celebrating and can stir up interest in a movie, they can’t be the sole focal point of a movie’s marketing. Just look at what happened to Warner Bros.’ “In the Heights,” which didn’t market its storyline or characters and instead went all-in on the movie being a game-changer for Latinx representation on the big screen. “In the Heights” bombed with an $11.4 million opening, though it was also available to stream on HBO Max at the same time (streaming numbers were also reportedly low, however).

    Jo Koy’s August comedy “Easter Sunday” also seemed to promote the historic nature of a film that represents the Filipino community over the laughs that would bring in all moviegoers. That film bombed as well, making just over $13 million worldwide on a $17 million budget.

    Ya'all seeing the pattern here??

    When movies and tv shows set out to make a POLTICAL or IDEOLOGICAL movie or tv show and just tack on the most important parts like a plot, clever dialogue, etc etc??

    That movie or tv show will bomb...

    The Stagflation President
    Column: Joe Biden’s terrible economic legacy

    Another month, another bad report. On October 13 the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced that consumer price inflation, at an 8.2 percent annualized rate, was higher than expected through September. Americans continue to endure the worst inflation in four decades. They continue to experience a decline in real average hourly earnings. They continue to tell pollsters that the economic recession has arrived. Blerina Uruci, an economist at T. Rowe Price, does not like what she sees. "This is very troubling," Uruci told the New York Times. "The trend is very troubling."

    Not at the White House. It doesn’t see any troubles. According to President Biden, the most recent BLS data are superfluous. After all, everybody already knows that "Americans are squeezed by the cost of living: that’s been true for years, and they didn’t need today’s report to tell them that." As a matter of fact, Biden said in a statement, rising costs are "a key reason I ran for President." And anyway, the situation is under control. "My policies—that Democrats delivered—directly tackles [sic] price pressures we saw in today’s report."

    Just a minute. Biden’s reading of recent economic history is filled with evasions, half-truths, and "yarns." They deserve comment and rebuttal. I don’t remember Biden staking his 2020 candidacy on inflation. He couldn’t have. The inflation hadn’t happened. It didn’t arrive until the spring of 2021. By which time Biden was living—during weekdays, at least—at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

    Nor do I recall Biden warning the country about the coming threat of rising prices. To the contrary: Varsity Joe was captain of "Team Transitory." The "temporary" inflation would subside, he and his teammates argued, as kinks in the supply chain got worked out and the Federal Reserve tightened the money supply.

    They were wrong, of course. Inflation persisted. By the winter of 2022, Biden was blaming high prices on corporate greed and "Putin’s price hike." Now he says inflation is the fault of the opposition party. No reason is provided; this president isn’t into causality. "If Republicans take control of Congress," Biden warns, "everyday costs will go up—not down."

    The Groper In Chief blames everyone but who is ACTUALLY to blame.. Him and his incompetent Democrat cronies...

    Not long after Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act, he issued a constitutionally dubious executive order forgiving college debt. It will increase the government’s cost of student loans by an estimated $400 billion. Meanwhile, to lower gasoline prices ahead of the midterm election, he drained the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to its lowest level in 40 years. Now the returns on that strategy are diminishing. The cost of gasoline is rising once again. Is this a chance to deregulate domestic energy production and build more refineries? That would be a serious response. Instead, Biden threatens reprisals against OPEC+ and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

But they have led to the highest mortgage rates in 20 years, growing volatility in debt markets, and the increasing likelihood of a prolonged recession and financial crisis. National Economic Council director Brian Deese likes to say that the U.S. economy is "in a period of transition." The transition is from bad to worse.

    By subsidizing demand while restricting supply, President Biden has revived the economic maladies that afflicted the American economy when he entered public life a half century ago. Biden has turned gold into dross and, amazingly, expects to be rewarded for it. "The president and I were talking at lunch today about this," Vice President Kamala Harris said in a recent interview with the Nation magazine.

    "DeSantis is going to be Governor Hurricane for the next couple weeks. The disadvantage Crist has is two-fold: he’s completely out of the news and he never managed a hurricane so he can’t stand up and point to what he did. So Crist is totally, totally defanged," Coker said.

    Journalist Rushes to Delete Inconvenient Truth About John Fetterman and His Wife

    A Rolling Stone journalist committed a mortal sin on Saturday morning, daring to tell the truth about Pennsylvania senate candidate John Fetterman.

    The hits have been piling up against the Democrat after an MSNBC interview revealed that he’s far worse off cognitively than his campaign had previously revealed. The reality that he needs closed captioning, and even then, still can’t always understand what he’s responding to, left many voters feeling misled.

    For months, the Fetterman campaign had insisted he was generally fine and was on track to recover completely from the massive stroke he suffered back in May. Over the last week, though, the switch flipped as it became impossible to hide the truth. The narrative went from “he’s fine” to “he’s disabled, and you are an ableist bigot if you question his fitness for office” in record time.

    On that subject, one of Fetterman’s chief defenders has been his wife, Gisele Fetterman. She actually went so far as to demand there be “consequences” for the MSNBC reporter who exposed her husband’s condition.

    *I* have had a stroke.. I know how debilitating it can be.. I was dizzy and couldn't speak very well.. I was blinded in one eye and had to forgo carrying my weapon temporarily because I wasn't sure of myself and my ability to respond to a threat...

    I SURE AS HELL wasn't in ANY condition to run for Senate!!!

    Fetterman should have done the honorable thing and removed himself from the election..

    A Democrat?? Honorable??

    So you are telling me that Fetterman is so brain-damaged and incapable of performing the job he seeks that his wife is actually the puppet master behind the scenes? That sounds awfully familiar to the situation between Joe Biden and Jill Biden, with the latter operating as the formers handler in public, ushering him around and telling him what to say.

    What is it with the wives of Democrat politicians and having such naked ambition that they’ll put their husbands through hell to gain and hold onto power? The idea that Gisele Fetterman is a reluctant “political star,” as the article suggests, is laughable. She wants fame and power badly.

    Apparently, MRS Fetterman is as power hungry as her husband..

    One has to wonder if she had anything to do with Fetterman's stroke..

    Here’s the thing, though. Gisele Fetterman is not running for office. She has never been elected to anything and won’t be in November. She is irrelevant, and if she is the “de facto” candidate in place of her husband, then her husband should drop out of the race immediately. It is not endearing or empowering to pretend Gisele Fetterman is something more than what she is.

    What Voght’s deleted tweet (and piece) laid out, even though she didn’t mean for it to, is that John Fetterman is not fit to be a US senator. It is obvious to any onlooker willing to be intellectually honest. If he and his wife won’t end this farce themselves, then voters should in a few weeks at the polls. Fetterman is not going to magically get better by January.

    Clarence Page: The LA City Council scandal reveals ethnic politics at its worst

    Never say anything important to anybody, I once heard a Chicago politician say, without presuming that they’re wearing a wire.

    I know some Los Angeles City Council members who should have followed that advice before talking trash about some of their fellow Democrats.

    Our best ideas often come out of freewheeling discussions. Unfortunately, so do some of our worst inclinations.

    In an uproar that reached all the way to President Joe Biden’s White House, the City Council members who can be heard in an audio recording reported in the Los Angeles Times probably wish their private conversation had stayed private.

    The central figures in this October 2021 conversation were City Council President Nury Martinez — who has since resigned from the council — and two fellow council members, as well as a labor ally.

    Something we haven't touched on in a while..

    Democrats' open border policies..

    ‘Root causes’ aren’t behind migrant surge — it’s open borders

    As the nation’s “Border Czar,” Vice President Kamala Harris is 20 months into carrying out the White House’s signature “root causes” immigration plan to bring order and security to America’s southern border. The idea behind it was that if America fixes the poverty, physical insecurity, and bad governance that drive emigration from three big sending nations — Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador — its citizens will rather stay home.

    Voila! American border squared away.

    So how’s that root causes nation-building project working out so far?

    Short answer: About as well as the idea worked for European liberals who first concocted the root-causes doctrine in the early 1980s, resurrected it after the catastrophic mass migration of 2014-2015, and have seen it fail miserably ever since. Border Patrol apprehension numbers, widely regarded as the chief indicator of total crossings, is the ultimate progress report.

    Biden’s never-ending ‘COVID emergency’ is nothing more than a cynical power grab

    If President Joe Biden believes “the pandemic is over,” as he declared on “60 Minutes” weeks ago, why on earth did his team just extend the COVID “public health emergency” through mid-January? Pretty clearly because it gives him unilateral power on other fronts.

    The most obvious two: his student-loan giveaway and his sudden effort to keep out at least some illegal migrants.

    COVID itself has receded into a background threat, much like the flu, that can’t actually justify the massive broadening of executive power that a true emergency entails. But the midterms are coming, so Joe wants to posture — and this transparently cynical power grab enables it.

    Meanwhile, the disastrous impact of Biden’s open-border policy has grown so nationally visible that the White House feels compelled to turn away some migrants, and the handiest tool for that is to use the Title 42 public-health rules — which Team Trump used to deny entry to “asylum seekers,” a policy Biden denounced, largely abandoned and was seeking to formally end until practically yesterday. But, again, no “emergency,” no emergency power.

    So COVID must remain officially a threat, lest the prez have to admit that he actually does have the power to turn the hordes away under other laws, when AOC and the Democratic base want the border kept open under the “it’s the law” excuse.

    This is cynicism on top of cynicism: Extending a non-emergency so you can temporarily reverse course to help Democrats running tough midterm races while giving yourself the out to “have to” fully reopen the border after Election Day.

    This is the old standby. “Never let an emergency go to waste” on steroids: Officially extending an emergency so you can keep on exploiting it for selfish political reasons. The party that keeps talking about “the threat to our democracy” can’t resist trashing the democratic rule of law to serve its own partisan needs. What total frauds.

On September 22 we were the first two prosecutors to file suit to declare this law unconstitutional, which it truly is…Trying to amend this law, because it’s unconstitutional, is like doing a heart transplant on a cadaver.”

    Glasgow explained what will happen when no-cash bail becomes the law in January, when it will be too late to reverse course, as the jails are emptied of violent offenders, as the hard left celebrates and makes virtue-signaling tweets.

    “The reason I’m able to have peace and quiet in Will County is that I’m able to restrain the volent offenders,” Glasgow said. “When Chicago gang members come to Will County [and commit crime], they usually don’t leave, they’re in the Will County Jail. The word gets to Chicago, they don’t come here anymore.”

    But as the Democrat Safe-T Act begins releasing arrestees from jails, Glasgow and other prosecutors will lose that leverage to keep public order.

    “I lose that ability and then the violent predators who are terrorizing Chicago, they’re going to branch out,” he said. “It’s always the path of least resistance. We give them maximum resistance in Will County. I’ll lose all that with this new law.”

And based on the background check that was run on him, if he ever was a LEO it is unlikely that he could have been one for long given his record.

    Give me the Department your supposed spouse works for and his badge number... If it is as you say and I am filing a false police report, your alleged spouse has absolutely NOTHING to worry about and *I* will be the one in trouble..

    I believe that there have been a few people over the years on this site that have gone to the trouble of running the name and personal information that you so brilliantly posted to this site. A troll stupid enough to tell the world who he is really should not be surprised when people use that info to expose him.

    So you were not law enforcement in FL, but in another state? Really? Then why did you claim to have graduated from the DeVry Mall Cop academy in FL? Seeing how state's require you graduate from THEIR police academy to be granted police powers for that state, DART doesn't cut it and it would not make you qualified in any other state either.

    Notice I didn't claim to have contacted FDLE myself. I just asked you why a public disclosure request to them for any record showing someone with your name would come back with zero files. Would it be because you lied about being in law enforcement? Apparently, it would. Once again, your lack of reading comprehension comes back to bite you in your lying fat ass!

The group known as OPEC+, which includes both the OPEC countries and several other petroleum producers not formally in the global oil cartel, said they would cut production quotas by 2 million barrels per day starting in November. The decision, led by top oil exporter Saudi Arabia along with other Gulf countries, was also seen as a slap in the face to President Joe Biden, whose administration had been frantically lobbying the Saudis and other Gulf allies to maintain or increase output and allow prices to continue to fall.

On that visit, Biden secured an understanding from Saudi Arabia and its junior partner, the UAE, to increase production by a total of about 1.25 million barrels per day. The Saudis did ramp up production during the summer, when oil was over $120 a barrel, but backed off as prices began to fall again.

    Nonetheless, lawmakers in Washington, particularly Democrats, see this latest insult as a sign that Saudi Arabia is an unreliable ally, straying from the U.S. orbit and cozying up to its fellow authoritarian states such as Russia and China. Both the Biden administration and congressional leaders are looking at ways to punish Riyadh for its perfidy. New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, on Monday called for a freeze on all cooperation with Saudi Arabia, including arms sales, “until the kingdom reassesses its position with respect to the war in Ukraine.”

    A savvy operator like Prince Mohammed is surely aware of the political consequences of all his actions, including in the U.S. Whether or not it was his primary motive for cajoling his fellow OPEC leaders into cutting production, he was surely not ignorant of the impact that move might have on the midterms. The Saudi government says the Biden administration asked it to delay the move by a month until after the elections, which is true, is embarrassing for the U.S. Like his buddy Trump, the Saudi crown prince is a practitioner of the politics of domination and humiliation, and in a certain light, the past few months have been an object lesson in that: Biden went to Riyadh hat in hand in July to beg a dictator he once called a “pariah” to keep the oil flowing. He failed to secure a commitment, the Saudis turned their backs on him a few months later, he was reduced to begging again, and they screwed him over anyway.

    So Creepy Dementia Biden tried to cajole the Saudis to influence the election..

    The Democrats’ Willie Horton Problem (continued)

    The second part of a two-part series by Diana Allocco on the Willie Horton case and how Democrats have forgotten the vital lessons from the unfortunate incidents.

    Lee Atwater, George Bush Sr.’s 1988 campaign manager, is typically blamed for the “racist Willie Horton” campaign tactic, but the truth is, the Republican campaign followed the public emotion, and did not lead it. Atwater himself admitted the anti-crime-coddling intensity emerged via groundswell from the grassroots: “I have never seen an issue take on a life of its own like this issue.” Despite the media history revisionism (and Atwater’s subsequent apology), it was not directed by the Republicans from the jump.

    Democrats Revert. With Democrats’ reclaiming full national power in 2020 and capitalizing on their control of big cities — and forgetting the harsh political lessons they were taught by outraged voters over a generation ago — Democrats have eagerly returned to their criminal-coddling roots. True to form, they are letting felons out of prison. Proudly. And everywhere they rule.

    They have implemented their favorite leftist soft-on-crime policies, like non-prosecution of offenses. They have commuted sentences. They have eliminated cash bail. They have saved their harshest rhetoric and punitive policies for police. To put it succinctly, Democrats have, in places they run, basically decriminalized crime.

    And we see the result: public fear. To the left, that’s simply due to racist Republicans whipping up false emotion by manipulating voters’ “lizard brain” ignorance. But here’s the real reason people are afraid: criminals, unrestrained by conscience or law, have been set free to hurt them. (Just google “random attack” for dismaying examples.)

    Demonrats failed to learn the lessons of history..

    Obama is right: Democrats' anti-Trump fixation is killing them

    Former President Barack Obama recently pointed out that Democrats are shooting themselves in the foot with their obsession with Donald Trump and the various legal questions surrounding him. They have deluded themselves, as a party, into believing that the rest of the world is as obsessed as they are with Trump, whatever legal battles he faces, and the Jan. 6 committee. In reality, nobody cares about any of this stuff. At all.

    Most people don't even know what's happening in that committee. And they certainly don't care about the lawsuits being filed in New York.

    "We spend enormous amounts of time and energy and resources pointing out the latest crazy thing he said, or how rude or mean some of the Republican candidates behaved," Obama said on a recent podcast. "That's probably not something that, in the minds of most voters, overrides their basic interests: Can I pay the rent? What are gas prices? How am I dealing with child care?"

    Obama is completely right. If Democrats don't listen to him, they are going to be slaughtered in the coming midterm elections.

    One last note for you....and it's kinda important... NCIC does NOT give criminal history when officers run a name through it... it only gives active wants and warrants and protection order info. So unless you had active warrants for your arrest, the info I would have learned was that you came back clear. Anyone with minimal experience in law enforcement knows this. I've let you continue to spew as many wrong statements regarding your police expertise and background as I can put up with. This will hopefully demonstrate once and for all that you know nothing about policing.

    Unless you are actively wanted or have unprocessed warrants out on you... or you are the subject of a protection order... you won't show up in NCIC when an officer runs your name! To obtain your actual criminal history officers have to fill out a completely different form giving reasons for the request as well as the active case number for the case that requires the info they are seeking.

    The general public thinks that anytime an officer runs their name that their criminal history pops up... it doesn't and your comments on here once again prove you to be a liar. You just don't know when to shut your mouth! I've played along just because I figured you wouldn't be able to help yourself from doubling down and tripling down on your lies... and I know you not used to hearing this -- especially from your wife -- but you DID NOT DISAPPOINT! You keep piling lie upon lie trying to prove you are right and it keeps getting worse and worse for ya!

    I find it hilarious because you did not even think of claiming that you were filing a real complaint until two days ago. You started going off about running you through NCIC even though I never made any such claim because I knew it wouldn't return your criminal history. So again, I let you make a fool of yourself.

    Give up. Admit defeat and that you lied about your law enforcement experience and stop with the childish nick names... it's pathetic even for you. Oh, and apologize to my husband for threatening to file a false police report against him for everyone to see. You chose to go after my husband and wanted to damage his career as a police officer. It's bad enough you steal the valor of those that serve in law enforcement, but to actively threaten to file a false complaint is just too much. Do these things and I'll drop the subject. IF not, I'll continue to repost how you proved to us all that you don't know anything about law enforcement. You have made a FOOL of yourself and should be ashamed.

    Well, I am glad you asked, Weigantia®

    Perhaps the most amazing illustration of this is the recent poll showing that New York Attorney General Letitia James could actually lose her reelection battle — mostly because of this exact problem. She is completely out of touch with New Yorkers and completely Trump-obsessed in her work. James has essentially neglected her job of prosecuting the criminals preying upon New Yorkers in order to obsess over Trump and build up her profile with blue-checkmark Twitter. The last poll of her race shows her losing against a no-name opponent.

    That doesn't mean she will actually lose, but she is losing, even though she should not be anywhere close to losing. And politicians who are as out of touch with the needs of their constituents as she is deserve to lose.

    This is where the Democratic Party finds itself now. The party's activist base is obsessed with Trump to the point of insanity. They cannot give him up, two years after he left office. We hear all this talk of election denialism — it is almost as if they cannot accept that they won the 2020 election.

    Cops/Trump/America hater Letitta James is likely to LOSE her coming election.. IN NEW YORK of all places!!!

You've got an inflation control act that is lowered prescription drug prices, has made sure that health care is even more affordable through the ACA, that is looking at lowering energy costs."

    Biden's legislative agenda is a joke. It has not reduced inflation, and no one labors under delusions that it has. The new inflation numbers prove how badly he has failed.

    Why Biden officially owns the inflation disaster
    By Brad Polumbo October 16, 2022 06:00 AM

    President Joe Biden has attempted to blame various scapegoats, from Russian President Vladimir Putin to big corporations, for the nation's inflation woes. But thanks to the latest data and his own promises, the president officially owns the inflation disaster.

    We just got yet more alarming metrics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, showing inflation rising 8.2% from September 2021 to September 2022 — with double-digit increases in key goods from food to energy and beyond. This is the last inflation update we will receive before the November midterm elections, dealing a death blow to whatever hope Democrats had that inflation would ease before voters head to the polls. Remember when it was "transitory?"

    Gov. Ron DeSantis expanded early voting access for counties most affected by Hurricane Ian

    Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., was accused by several media outlets of politicizing voter access after he eased restrictions in the counties most heavily affected by Hurricane Ian on Thursday.

    DeSantis signed an emergency executive order that expanded mail-in ballot access and early voting availability to counties that were heavily damaged by the Category 4 hurricane. According to the order, the decision primarily focused on Charlotte, Lee and Sarasota Counties after "collective feedback of the Supervisors of Elections across the state" and "at the written requests" of these counties’ election supervisors.

    Although the order is set to assist tens of thousands of displaced citizens in these counties, some attacked the voter assistance by suggesting that it is politically motivated for the midterm elections.

    Not to be too cynical, but now that having a “trans” kid is this year’s virtue signal winner for progressive chardonnay clubs' “coolest thing to have to happen,” that confusion is the currency on the left. And speaking of currency, there’s a lot of money in the butchering of children’s bodies, slicing off body parts isn’t cheap. But before this trend, there wasn’t a lot of business. Thanks to Democrats and the Alphabet Mafia, it’s becoming a volume business too. There’s a reason the Halloween Drag Show in San Diego was sponsored by a child-butchering “gender” clinic more than 500 miles away in San Francisco and it wasn’t a concern for kids.

    Yep.. For kids, trans are the new WOBs.. Kids pretend their aliens just to get attention..

    The only difference is NOW they have "parents" who are so thrilled that they (parents) can virtue-signal, parents are actually condoning and even ENCOUURAGING mutilating their kids with dangerous experimental surgeries and drugs..

    "Parents" like that should be locked up for gross and perverse child abuse.

    Since everyone complains about my links and such that relay the facts, I am going to try something new..

    I am going to paraphrase articles that I read and deliver them without any corresponding bold or links..

    Let's start this new format by talking about Fetterman and Demonrats and their refusal to participate in a debates...

    Candidates refusing to engage in debates during this election season is a risky tendency in politics in this era of hyper-partisanship and polarization.

    These applicants believe they will be hired without having to interview. their reasoning?

    The events' sponsor groups are "partisan"..

    Now President Trump's debates WERE too partisan and it was only logical and rational that President Trump wanted to forgo the Demonrat lynching disguised as a "debate"..

    As an aside, Demonrats are STILL into lynchings, just like their KKK ancestors..

    Anyways, some politicians use this repetitive justification to duck difficult inquiries and deal with subjects that might be politically contentious. Every debate has to have candidates go on the record on issues and viewpoints in order to educate voters.

    But Demonrats don't WANT to go on the record because Demonrats KNOW that the American people will see Demonrats for what they are..

    Cop hating, America hating morons..

    So, Demonrats skip debates..

    Demonrats are AFRAID to debate...

    Of course, such refusal to put their ideas and positions on the record is not only a disservice to American citizens when politicians decline to participate in open debates in nonpartisan forums, but it also exposes another vulnerability in our democracy.

    American democracy has a heritage of open debate. They are crucial to a free and fair election.

    Voters must have the chance to speak with candidates directly. Debates and forums create a distinctive venue for open interaction and conversation, suited to the needs of the community and the subjects they care about, in local contests with minimal budgets and limited media coverage.

    No where was this more illustrated than the 2020 election where Creepy Dementia Biden campaigned hiding in his basement...

    Had 2020 been a FAIR election, an election where Demonrats COULDN'T hide their candidate away from voter scrutiny??

    Well, President Trump (AND America) would be enjoying President Trump's 2nd term...

    But, as I like to say. "OOhh well..." It's time to look to the future and watch President Trump handily trounce the Demonrats' 2024 candidate...

    I truly hope it is a re-match of President Trump and Creepy Dementia Biden...

    Then we can all see how the 2020 election SHOULD have gone without Demonrat fraud and Demonrat cheating and Demonrat hiding Creepy Dementia Biden from public/voter view...

    OK Let's move over to Arkansas...

    The nation’s first trial over a state’s ban on gender-confirming care for children begins in Arkansas this week, the latest fight over restrictions on transgender youth championed by Republican leaders and widely condemned by medical experts.

    U.S. District Judge Jay Moody will hear testimony and evidence starting Monday over the law he temporarily blocked last year prohibiting doctors from providing gender-confirming hormone treatment, puberty blockers or surgery to anyone under 18 years old. It also prevents doctors from referring patients elsewhere for such care.

    The families of four transgender youth and two doctors who provide gender-confirming care want Moody to strike down the law, saying it is unconstitutional because it discriminates against transgender youth, intrudes on parents’ rights to make medical decisions for their children and infringes on doctors’ free speech rights. The trial is expected to last two weeks.

    Here’s why: We’ve now had seven straight months of 8%+ inflation. A year ago we were assured by the White House economic wizards that these rapid price increases in everything from groceries, to rental cars, to gasoline at the pump, to health insurance were merely “transitory.” Whoops.

    The most immediate sticker shock from Bidenflation, of course, has been to shrink real take-home paychecks of workers. We have calculated that over the past 20 months, this rise in consumer prices over wages means that the average family in America has lost nearly $6,000 in purchasing power.

    Female Democrat voters tell NY Times they're shifting to GOP over economic concerns: 'It's all about cost'

    Independent voters in battleground states are more aligned with Republicans, according to state polls

    Economic concerns and "intense" disapproval of President Biden are giving Republicans an edge with independent voters in the upcoming election, according to recent polling from The New York Times.

    A NYT/Siena College poll found independent female voters in particular swung dramatically to the right in the past month, despite Democrats' focus on abortion rights.

    "In September, they favored Democrats by 14 points. Now, independent women backed Republicans by 18 points— a striking swing given the polarization of the American electorate and how intensely Democrats have focused on that group and on the threat Republicans pose to abortion rights," the paper reported.

    The Times noted that was because the economy was "a far more potent political issue in 2022 than abortion," and a majority of voters trusted Republicans to handle it.

    Reinforcing this point, the Times talked to Democrat women who were voting Republican this fall. Mortgage loan officer Robin Ackerman, 37, said she was switching because she felt the GOP was "more geared towards business."

    Despite strongly disagreeing with the Supreme Court's Dobbs ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade, she said it wasn't going to influence her vote.

    "But that doesn’t really have a lot to do with my decision… I’m more worried about other things," she told the outlet.

    Another Democrat, Gerard Lamoureux, is also looking to the GOP to solve her concerns about rising prices.

    "It’s all about cost," the 51-year-old Democratic retiree in Newtown, Conn., told the paper. She added, "The price of gas and groceries are through the roof. And I want to eat healthy, but it’s cheaper for me to go to McDonald’s and get a little meal than it is to cook dinner."

    Baby Killing is very VERY low on women's priority list..

    Again.. Well documented... FACTUAL... INARGUABLY factual..

    Now, Let's say you have this guy who claims he is married to a cop.. This guy ALSO is a dyed-in-the-wool hysterical Democrat.. One could say he has a SLAVISH support of Democrats and the Democrat Party..

    Here's the rub.. If this guy is actually married to a cop, that means he supports the Party that will, as likely as not, get his spouse killed.

    And yet, this guy whole-heartedly supports Democrats..

    So, given all this info, what can we deduce??

    Well, the first obvious deduction is that the guy is lying and he isn't really married to a cop.. That is the most likely scenario here..

    Now, secondly, this guy may actually be married to a cop, but obviously doesn't love his spouse very much.. I mean how can this guy claim to love his spouse and yet whole-heartedly support the Party that will, as likely as not, get his spouse killed..

    Answer: He can't...

    Now some of ya'all might argue, "Well, obviously this guy is not a SINGLE ISSUE guy.. He looks at several different aspects of the Democrat Party and THAT is what explains his slavish and hysterical support of the Democrat Party..."

    BBBBBZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

    Wrong..

    When you are married (I know many of ya'all are not so ya'all just can't understand..) the safety and security and well-being of your spouse is not just a Single Issue, it's the ***ONLY*** issue.
    ANY threat to one's spouse is a 1000% DEAL BREAKER as far as support goes. At least it is that way with married couples that actually really love each other...

    Put another way... My wife is a teacher.. If the GOP supported policies that put my wife at risk of being killed, THAT would be a deal-breaker for me.. I would trash the GOP unmercifully..

    I simply COULD NOT support a Party that would, as likely as not, get my lovely wife killed...

    This is exactly why I say that it is flat out IMPOSSIBLE for a person to support the Democrat Party and ALSO support LEOs..

    It's a complete and utter impossibility...

    And if you are MARRIED to a cop (as my lucky wife is.. :D) then there is simply NO WAY IN HELL that you could support the Party that would, as likely as not, get your spouse killed..

    The ONLY way that THAT would happen is if the guy really ISN'T married to a cop.. Or, if he is, he is looking for a way to get out of the marriage...

    Of course, this is all a hypothetical example to illustrate the disparity of claiming to support the Democrat Party AND claiming to support LEOs...

    Any resemblance to actual people or events is entirely coincidental....

    Republicans Gain Edge as Voters Worry About Economy, Times/Siena Poll Finds

    Republicans enter the final weeks of the contest for control of Congress with a narrow but distinct advantage as the economy and inflation have surged as the dominant concerns, giving the party momentum to take back power from Democrats in next month’s midterm elections, a New York Times/Siena College poll has found.

    The poll shows that 49% of likely voters said they planned to vote for a Republican on Nov. 8 to represent them in Congress, compared with 45% who planned to vote for a Democrat. The result represents an improvement for Republicans since September, when Democrats held a 1-point edge among likely voters in the last Times/Siena poll. (The October poll’s unrounded margin is closer to 3 points, not the 4 points that the rounded figures imply.)

    With inflation unrelenting and the stock market steadily on the decline, the share of likely voters who said economic concerns were the most important issues facing America has leaped since July, to 44% from 36% — far higher than any other issue. And voters most concerned with the economy favored Republicans overwhelmingly, by more than a 2-1 margin.

    GOP Rep. Mayra Flores’ surprise win in the special election for the U.S. House seat in Texas’ 34th Congressional District this past June is looking more and more like a canary in a coal mine for the upcoming 2022 midterm elections. Ms. Flores won the race convincingly in a reliably blue district where the Democratic incumbent won with 55% of the vote just two years ago.

    When Politico asked recently “Is the Dobbs effect fading?” they really should have asked if the liberal media-fed outrage of Dobbs was fading. Either way, the answer is an emphatic yes. Unfortunately for desperate Democrats, the 2022 election isn’t about the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision and the left’s extreme abortion position any more than it’s about the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. The 2022 midterms are about the wrong track America is on under total Democratic control. A Joe Biden-inspired malaise has set in around us — high inflation, high crime, high gas prices, open borders and more pessimism and division among our citizens than ever.

    In poll after poll, we see the exact same thing. The most important issue on people’s minds is the economy and the sky-high high cost of living caused by President Biden’s irresponsible out of control spending bills.

    Not exactly rocket science since the instant subject supplied his own personal information right here on this blog a long, long time ago. Anyone claiming to be an LEO who would actually take that leap and make the asinine assumption that someone had an actual police officer run them on NCIC versus any of the other multitudes of free sources available is doing nothing more than displaying their ignorance regarding law enforcement. It's the height of ignorance to make such an assumption, let alone repeat it over and over. The information is freely searchable by anyone with an Internet connection and keyboard.

    You won't, because you know I am telling the truth and you are just a lying coward.

    It's ignorant to make the claims he's making when the information is free to everyone. The vast majority of the indigent Defendant's pathetic life along with his multiple foreclosures are free to peruse. I do not know a law enforcement officer who isn't well versed in the facts regarding easily searchable public records. They call them "public records" because they're available to the public (not rocket science).

    So let me ask again... why would a request for records of someone with your name being a member of law enforcement in FL return zero files? WHY?

    Because he was never a law enforcement officer in Florida.

    The only answer would be that you were never in law enforcement.

    At least not in Florida, but he recently made the claim of 30 years, which only last year he claimed was 25 years. You see the problem, of course, and he made the claim he was a cop multiple times on this forum, then made the claim he never said he was a cop (which is an easily provable lie) and now he's suddenly claiming he was in public safety. Here's a tip for you, Mr. "Public Safety": No one can perform any kind of background check on you on NCIC or search your freely accessed county records unless you're dumb enough to post your information on a public forum, which I don't know an LEO or anyone in "public safety" dumb enough to do that.

    Strange that you claimed you were in law enforcement for years on this site and then suddenly changed it and started claiming that you were in "public safety" for 25 - 30 years.

    Noticed that too, did you? Rhetorical question.

    So just to conclude...

    You threatened to file a false police report against my husband because I proved you were lying simply using your own statements as proof. You threatened my husband's job and our well being simply because you are a pitiful excuse for a human.

    In fact, a simple search of his county records shows unequivocally that the subject is more aptly described as "Defendant."

    I do not want to date you. The thought of you naked is only used if there is no ipecac syrup available. If your name was run, it was for legitimate reasons.

    He's the only poster on this forum who got his ass kicked so hard that he urged another poster to harm/kill themselves (as if) and also the only poster on this forum who has threatened to harm others by filing false police reports for which he has zero proof. Now I ask you: What kind of law enforcement officer would actually be dumb enough to do any of that?

    Since you are making threats from a different state than which we live, any investigations into your actions would be done by the FBI... you know, those liberal deep state agents out to get people like you.

    Heh. I wouldn't think we would have to explain the absolute basics to someone who's claimed on multiple occasions his expertise in law enforcement, but here we are (again). :)

    Influencer Oli London explains why he detransitioned back to male, blasts 'hypocritical' haters

    Oli London tells Fox News Digital he's 'used to the hypocritical haters' and revealed the reason for his detransition

    YouTuber Oli London is a British influencer, actor and singer who has amassed a huge global following over the last few years.

    He shocked the world on Friday, announcing that he was in the process of detransitioning back to a man after living as a transgender woman for the last six months.

    "I am no longer trans and have gone back to living as a man," he shared on Twitter. "Grateful if everyone could respect my new pronouns- He/Him KOR/EAN. Thank you."

    "Six months ago I had facial feminization surgeries, 11 in one day," he exclusively told Fox News Digital.

    "I changed my bone structure. I got hair extensions, changed wardrobes, started wearing makeup, had my hair removed. I did it because I thought it would make me happy. I felt happy at the time but over a period of reflection, I felt I was chasing happiness. Being a woman is not for me."

    I am no longer trans and have gone back to living as a man

    It's fun for them to get attention by pretending they are something they are not..

    It sure as hell ain't science..

    I'm trans and I wanna be a girl!!!

    Six months later...

    "Naw, I am not trans anymore and I want to go back to being a guy!!"

    Joe Biden ‘was aware’ and potentially ‘involved’ in son Hunter’s crony business dealings: Whistleblowers

    Whistleblower documents reveal the FBI has in its possession 'voluminous evidence' related to Hunter Biden’s potentially criminal business dealings

    New whistleblower documents reveal that President Biden "was aware of Hunter Biden’s business arrangements and may have been involved in some of them," Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley said Monday, suggesting that the FBI has "voluminous evidence" related to the potential criminality of those ventures.

    Grassley, R-Iowa, sent a letter Monday morning to Attorney General Merrick Garland, FBI Director Christopher Wray and U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss detailing new whistleblower allegations that the bureau is in possession of "significant, impactful and voluminous evidence with respect to potential criminal conduct by Hunter Biden and James Biden." Weiss has oversight of the Hunter Biden investigation.

    Grassley said the FBI has a series of documents in its possession related to information on Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings. Hunter Biden sat on the board of that company.

    "The documents in the FBI’s possession include specific details with respect to conversations by non-government individuals relevant to potential criminal conduct by Hunter Biden," Grassley wrote.

    For Fetterman, it’s not that he’s ill, but trying to hide it

    Across the half-century since then, I realize that empathy for someone with a disability is the sine qua non of being human.

    But that doesn’t mean that we ignore disability when it has a very real, very relevant impact on issues of importance, issues as who should be going to Washington to represent us in the Senate.

    As we all now know, even though it was initially and deliberately hidden by the candidate, John Fetterman suffered a life-threatening stroke in May. He is still in the recovery phase and has refused to release medical records, which would establish just how far along he is in that recovery.

    Fetterman continues to insist that he’s gotten a clean bill of health from his physician, the same one he ignored five years ago when told of a serious heart condition that might lead to a stroke. He keeps pointing to a letter from that doctor, a letter that is almost six months old, as proof that he’s fine.

    But he’s not fine. You don’t have to be a neurosurgeon or a cardiac specialist like Fetterman’s opponent, Mehmet Oz, to see that he is struggling to communicate and comprehend. He admits to using a teleprompter to help translate questions for him.

    Putting aside the Americans With Disabilities Act, it's fair to suggest that putting a man with a significant medical disability in such a sensitive position of authority is reckless.

    What they’re forgetting is that Duckworth lost her legs in service to her country, Cawthorne had a freak accident and Specter was completely transparent and forthcoming about his problems.

    Fetterman had a stroke very likely because he ignored the advice of his doctor, and covered it up until he couldn’t. That’s a sign of recklessness and a lack of judgment that disqualifies him from office.

    And that’s the point.

    And that is EXACTLY the point..

    It's not so much Fretterman's disability, although THAT is a valid issue...

    My friend Jason had this to say on the subject:

    “After I lost most of my hearing because of meningitis, I accepted the fact that there were some jobs that I simply couldn’t do, such as police officer, which I was on track to becoming until I got sick at 19. Fetterman needs to come to this same realization.”

    AND like Vick The Moron you COMPLETELY ignore the sequence of events.. I only said that a complaint would be warranted AFTER you claimed you had your alleged spouse run an NCIC check on me..

    I'll let you in on a little secret (not secret) that any moron with a modicum of brain cells can discern here: He actually never said he ran an NCIC check on you; all of us here can read this. You're incorrect claiming the only place the information can be found is through NCIC... laughably incorrect, as anyone with a law enforcement/investigation background already knows.

    The only thing you're proving is your (lack of) "expertise" that you keep claiming when you actually have no clue what you're prattling on and on about.

    So, to recap: You're providing (repeatedly) the proof to refute your own prattling nonsense. Furthermore, you're making a stupid assumption and an ass out of yourself to claim that this information is only obtainable through NCIC. Your (lack of) "expertise" is (again) showing.

    There was definitely a background check run on you; thank you for proving unequivocally your expertise in "public safety" that would allow anyone with a keyboard and Internet connection to perform said background check without spending a single penny.

    How the Border Went MAGA

    “The Democrats have a really, really big Latino problem.” It was the morning after Mexico-born Republican Mayra Flores won the June special election for a congressional seat in Texas’s Rio Grande Valley, and longtime conservative strategist and co-founder of the Lincoln Project Mike Madrid was incensed by the seeming inattention of Democrats to one of the nation’s fastest-growing demographics. “The incompetence and the disregard, it’s infuriating,” Madrid steamed on an emergency taping of his podcast, The Latino Vote. “This district that just flipped has been in Democratic control since 1870,” he said, before noting it had the second-highest concentration of Latinos of “any congressional district in the entire country, okay?” Losing a district like that constituted “a five-alarm fire for the Democrats heading into the November elections.”

    Oregon Democrats could be staring at their worst election in decades. The Beaver State’s newly created sixth congressional district—intended “to be a safe blue, Biden +13 fortress in Salem and suburban Portland,” according to the Cook Political Report—was moved from “Lean Democrat” to “Toss-Up” by the political-analytics group on Tuesday. Democrats, who currently control every statewide office and enjoy supermajorities in both chambers of the state legislature, “have struggled to put away the nearby Eugene 4th CD and Bend/suburban Portland 5th CD, also both open seats,” Cook’s David Wasserman noted. Most significant of all, in the governor’s contest, “Republican Christine Drazan has a genuine chance to defeat Democrat Tina Kotek by attacking the status quo on homelessness and crime, in a race scrambled by an independent bid by wealthy ex-Democrat Betsy Johnson.”

In 2021, Portland saw an all-time record number of shootings and killings; the city is on pace to break both records again this year.

Kotek, a close Brown ally, can’t run from her party’s toxic record on the campaign’s defining issues. Kotek backed Measure 110, the November 2020 ballot initiative that decriminalized hard drugs, and she has routinely defended the measure. Despite her recent attempts to memory-hole her record on education, she repeatedly led efforts to block the reopening of Oregon schools during her tenure as speaker of the Oregon House and declined to condemn the teacher-union-led re-shuttering of schools in Portland as late as this year.

    Change is in the air. A long-demoralized Oregon GOP can smell an elusive victory. Democrats can sense it, too. It’s no wonder that President Biden is traveling to the state—normally a safe Democratic hold—to campaign with Kotek. But with less than four weeks to go until November 8, Drazan is in the hunt, and the president’s efforts may be too little, too late.

    One thing is certain...

    Oregon is going Red...

    Aren't you sooo happy Bashi!!?? :D

    You can spew all the BS you want Russ.. It STILL doesn't change the fact of what you did.. And if it HAD been anything but an NCIC check, why didn't you say so at the time??

    What part of "background check" is confusing you? You make a total ass out of yourself months and months after the original post by interjecting your own false bullshit into the conversation, and you expect that Russ should have anticipated your future dumbshit assumption and explained it for you?

    Here, let me connect the dots for you since you're stuck on terminally ignorant:

    (1) Russ never claimed who ran the background check. You prove this every time you quote him.

    (2) Russ never claimed it was an NCIC check. That bullshit is yours.

    (3) How would a fictional person run any kind of check on anyone?

    You didn't say anything at the time because you DIDN'T do it any other way except thru your alleged spouse running an illegal NCIC check..

    It's asinine on its face interject the idea that Russ should have anticipated your rank ignorance and explained that the background check wasn't what your future claim would assume it was. It's also asinine on its face to claim that a fictional person has run any type of anything on you.

    You're busted, Russ The Shit Husband..

    Russ didn't answer your future stupid posts in his original post. Not even a good try.

    The FACTS clear prove beyond **ANY** doubt that you had your alleged spouse run an NCIC check on me...

    Thank you for repeatedly kicking your own ass.

    I can prove it..

    Why didn't you prove it when Russ originally posted it?

    Give me the Department your supposed spouse works for and his badge number... If it is as you say and I am filing a false police report, your alleged spouse has absolutely NOTHING to worry about and *I* will be the one in trouble..

    Only a absolute dickhead without a brain would post his and his family's personal information on a public forum. In the original post you said it wouldn't be that hard to find since Russ has dropped so many clues. Thank you ever so much for proving your inability to obtain the information; you genuinely suck.

    But you won't do that, will you Russ The Shit Husband.. Because you KNOW you are dirty and you KNOW your supposed spouse committed a felony..

    He knows you're an idiot and a obvious blowhard; you've proven that on multiple occasions. You simply cannot stop yourself from kicking your own ass because you quite obviously cannot connect one simple dot to another.

    But hay... Let's say for the sake of the argument that I am wrong.. I am not and the facts PROVE I am not, but let's pretend...

    You're already pretending, and you're already wrong.

    YOUR SIMPLE ADMISSION THAT YOU RAN A BACKGROUND CHECK ON ME IS DAMNING ENOUGH!!!!

    No, it isn't. Not when you've made multiple threats against people on this forum and you were dumb enough to provide your information on multiple occasions.

    You took a political argument into the realm of real life...

    Your prattling hatred frequently has nothing whatsoever to do with political discourse, and you know it. Running a background check on a lying blowhard who keeps posting threats of violence on a public forum happens practically every day. If you had any knowledge whatsoever in the basics of law enforcement, no one would need to explain that to you.

    Such a moronic and low-life act would get you banned from ANY respectable forum on the Internet..

    Something someone does outside the forum should get them banned? *laughs*

    And you even went to far as to go thru FDLE!!????

    So you're saying NCIC isn't the only source for information? Yeah, we already knew that.

    You just keep digging your hole deeper and deeper, Russ The Shitty Husband, eh?? :D

    Said the self-described "expert" in "public safety" who was fool enough to post his and his family's own personal information on an archived public forum for multiple years and cannot stop himself; talk about digging. You are such a pathetic wannabe, Michael. It's painful to watch your ignorance.

    WHO WOULD BE STUPID ENOUGH TO PUT THAT KIND OF INFORMATION ON A WEBSITE FOR THE WHOLE WORLD TO HAVE ACCESS TO IT???

    Exactly! What kind of person claiming expertise in "public safety" would actually be dumb enough to post his and his family's information on an archived public forum!? Rhetorical question.

    Oh wait... whoops... YOU would be that stupid!

    Would we call that expertise in public safety!? No, we definitely would not.

    I believe that there have been a few people over the years on this site that have gone to the trouble of running the name and personal information that you so brilliantly posted to this site.

    His archived threats regarding firearms on this forum is probable cause enough.

    A troll stupid enough to tell the world who he is really should not be surprised when people use that info to expose him.

    Would we refer to someone who exposed his and his family's personal information on an archived public forum as an expert in "public safety"? I know you would not, Russ, and I assure you without hesitation that that is one piss-poor way to prove your bona fides in "public safety." Duh.

    I love that you are trying so hard to convince yourself that my proving you have lied to everyone here somehow makes me the bad guy! Michael, you lie all the time.

    He is nothing but a wannabe who cannot seem to stop himself.

    This has been a real treat... watching you ranting, raving and running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. You even decided to make a big deal attacking a gay movie in our honor. Bless your heart! Even with the free room and board included in taking up residence in your mind... it's a nasty hole that needs to be demolished.

    You obviously are living rent free in his head, Russ. I think Jussie Smollett of Weigantia is just desperate to date you. Note the example he linked to regarding an incident in Arizona; not trying to make you gag, but it's obvious that the EXACT thing he wants is you to want him, and he admitted this when he confessed that the example he provided was the "EXACT circumstances" as this.

    Dream on, Bubba Trump Holster!

    We are definitely out of his league, and he can't have us. Love you, Russ. :)

    One last note for you....and it's kinda important... NCIC does NOT give criminal history when officers run a name through it... it only gives active wants and warrants and protection order info.

    Russ! He was making a fool out of himself repeatedly, and you go and give him the facts; you are much nicer than I. I was quite content watching the fool claim that NCIC was the only source that supplied information that it didn't even provide.

    So unless you had active warrants for your arrest, the info I would have learned was that you came back clear.

    It might divulge his license is (again) suspended... since he's definitely a recidivist perp of DWLS.

    Anyone with minimal experience in law enforcement knows this.

    Yep. The information he claimed was "only" on an NCIC report isn't actually contained in an NCIC report at all.

    I've let you continue to spew as many wrong statements regarding your police expertise and background as I can put up with. This will hopefully demonstrate once and for all that you know nothing about policing.

    I was enjoying him making himself look repeatedly ignorant, and there you go and spoil it; you are so much nicer than I.

    You just don't know when to shut your mouth!

    His wannabe, lying, and ignorance bona fides are well established here.

    You keep piling lie upon lie trying to prove you are right and it keeps getting worse and worse for ya!

    The self-admitted "dog" can't stop chasing your stick, Russ.

    Give up.

    He might as well since he's already proven beyond doubt that he obviously sucks at "public safety."

    Oh, and apologize to my husband for threatening to file a false police report against him for everyone to see. You chose to go after my husband and wanted to damage his career as a police officer.

    In Captain Whorely's defense, he's already admitted he doesn't have the information to do that when he begged you to supply it to him (as if everyone is as effing ignorant as he demonstrably is)... but not before he already stated how it shouldn't be too hard to locate the information since you'd left so many clues; although, apparently not enough clues for an obvious wannabe like him with his level of (lack of) "expertise."

    It's bad enough you steal the valor of those that serve in law enforcement, but to actively threaten to file a false complaint is just too much.

    There's no excuse for this. Michale's pathetic ass reminds me of the right-wing Q-Anon crazies and white supremacist/fascist insurrectionists who attacked police officers with flags that said: "Back the Blue."

    You can claim to "back the blue" and that you're "pro law enforcement" until you're blue in the face, but if you're assaulting them and threatening to bring harm to them, the only person you're deluding with that shit is yourself... because you're sure as hell not deluding anyone here and certainly not me or Russ.

    You have made a FOOL of yourself and should be ashamed.

    This is exactly what I mean when I say he is too ignorant to understand that he's "kicking his own ass." He's claimed on multiple occasions now (archived herein for all posterity) that NCIC is the only background check that contains the relevant information... when it most certainly does not even.

    How about all those who persist in posting off-topic comments (Michale, Russ, Kick et al.) continue posting your rants right here in THIS comments section and leave all of Chris's other headlining pieces free from all of your personal business and asinine name-calling and all other manner of nonsense that really belongs on some whole other blog, to be perfectly frank.

    And your IGNORANCE on NCIC is astounding...

    Nice try, asshat. Russ is correct.

    You think, just because Military Officers are "Commissioned" you figured POLICE Officers were ALSO "Commissioned"..

    Not all military officers are commissioned. What? You never heard of an NCO?

    Police Officers are SWORN, not COMMISSIONED you ignorant shithead...

    Police officers are sworn and commissioned, you "ignorant shithead." Not all of them are commissioned, of course, there are still definitely a plethora of bald fat guys policing in podunk towns all over America who have no education/commission and practically zero training, but those idiots are a dying breed.

    You know absolutely NOTHING about LEOs and what they are and do... You even thought that retired LEOs are nothing but civilians with no consideration at all from SWORN officers..

    Show me a sworn officer who isn't also a commissioned officer, and 8 times out of 10, I'll show you a fat old man with no education in law enforcement... a few of the last vestiges of a dying moronic breed.

    Your ignorance is LAUGHABLE...

    Laugh it up, asshole; your ignorance is archived. :)

    However, I would first like to make a special dedication to our Kick. She, indubitbubbly, knows all about this treat but here's a tune just for her ... enjoy, Kick!

    Thank you, EM. I do appreciate that, but you are correct that I've heard it... the day it was released, October 13. It sounds to my ear like it was most likely recorded during the very late 1980s and has a "The Miracle" vibe to it:
