Other than a man of few words, what did you like about Silent Cal?

Besides his quick wit, and yes, being a man of few words much like myself (the spoken word that is), mainly, I liked that he was dogged in his attempts to make the federal government smaller and less bloated. He believed strongly in a balanced budget. He appeared to dedicate his Presidency to that venture. He was also a strong believer in individual freedom over that of the group. I'm only just over half way through the book at a point where he just won the Presidential election after having been President after the death of Harding so there's still a bit more to learn about the man.

OK thank you. I was curious. After he had a heart attack and died the question was: How can you tell?

When I first read this, I thought how stupid MSNBC viewers must be

MSNBC host Tiffany Cross claimed that Americans do not care about the cost of the Build Back Better social spending bill being pushed by Democrats in Congress.

Cross said Thursday when guest-hosting "The ReidOut" that Americans are uninterested in the Build Back Better Act's price tag after Democratic strategist Adrienne Elrod said she wished that the bill was still "a $6 trillion bill" but that even the scaled-back version would be "historic" and a "good thing for American people."

"I feel like a lot of the coverage this year was focused on how much this plan costs, and I think that matters to maybe inside-the-Beltway people, but American people across this country are not interested in how much it costs," Cross said. "They have their own household debt to worry about. They want to know what policy will impact their lives tomorrow."

xxxxxxxxxxxxx

but then I thought about:

"More than 100 million U.S. households, or 61% of all taxpayers, paid no federal income taxes last year"

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/1...icy-center-says.html

So for the 61%, they really don't care what it costs (unless they are smart enough to comprehend the impact of record inflation)

Whoever Cross is, she's a fucking idiot. Just another stupid know nothing bumbling media fool.

I assume this is Joy Reid? Talk about misery loving company.

Ironically, two of the most joyless people in the world are named Joy (Reid and Behar).

We've long-established these people are entirely disconnected from reality, so what they claim is really relatively unimportant--except to themselves.

Joe Biden could fuck up a steel ball with a rubber mallet.

Half the salary of EVERY reporter in this country would be paid from the Build Back Broke bill. Government funding the press. I'd say that no longer qualifies as "a free press".

See Sen. Lankford here...

My oh my, how things have changed in the last year.

I will ensure there is a plan.
“And there are over 70,000 new cases per day.”
“Anyone who is responsible for that many deaths should not remain President Of The United States.”
“I would make sure we move in the direction of rapid testing.”
I would make sure we opened up schools and opened up businesses.




U.S. Reports Record 1 Million Coronavirus Cases in a Single Day (Reported Jan. 4, 2022)

Schools are being shutdown again, there are more deaths under Biden administration than the previous administration, and rapid test are in short supply.
Joe has failed on each of his bullet points.

Excuses, Excuses, Excuses there was no plan from the previous administration.




Joe Biden has spent 95 of his 348 days President on vacation, mostly in Delaware. That equates to a quarter of the Biden regime’s first year in office, at the time of writing, being spent doing anything other than being President during one of the most crisis-ridden times in modern human history.

Textbook demagoguery.

He’s still blaming the “unvaccinated” and telling us all there’s going to be more sickness and death, what a wonderful, uplifting leader we have

I’d like to know who keeps directing him to keep blaming the unvaccinated? We all know this is complete bullshit by now

A friend who saw his rant today on TV also said he appeared to say “and we have a lot to be hopeful for in 2020“, my God this man doesn’t even know what year it is anymore

Joe Biden Enters 2022 with Worst Approval Ratings of His Presidency
Link

Joe Biden may not know what year it is, but he is presently entering 2022 with the worst approval ratings of his presidency.

One of the driving factors behind his plummeting approval is his mishandling of the economy and the COVID-19 pandemic.

The poll said that 60 percent of respondents are dissatisfied with Biden’s handling of the economy, while 55 percent disapprove of his Covid response.

Biden’s claimed at the October presidential debate that he would “end” Covid. This was one of the primary factors that at least some of the purported 81 million voters cast their ballot for him.

Nonetheless, U.S.’ Covid-related deaths in 2021 have surpassed those of 2020, despite there being purportedly “100% safe and effective” vaccines.

Furthermore, Biden recently admitted that there was no “federal solution” for Covid. This gives Americans the impression he has no idea what he is doing.

Why wouldn't he? Doing so divides the country, stokes chaos, and has us squaring off against each other rather than crucifying this old POS for the abject failure he and his administration are. Additionally, the media will parrot whatever they're told to report, and finally, many people in this country are simply too stupid and lazy to do anything other than simply swallow the lies wholesale as they lift their head to bleat.

I passed a drive up Covid testing center today right here in sunny Florida and the lines of cars wrapped the building. The stupid overall is enormous right now, and this criminal administration is taking full advantage of it.

I’m surprised the MSM didn’t use the headline: “Joe Biden enters 2022 with his highest approval rating of the year”

I recall the Crimson Attack Dog saying she would step away soon. Anyone know when Psaki will exit?? Sure would like to see someone who might answer questions.

I see Kamala has hired some new staff, Jamal Simmons who actually speaks Jive. He referred to the vaccine developed under the Trump administration as "Janky". He did speak the truth however when he earlier described Biden as "Dazed and Confused." Gonna be fun!

December Jobs Report Shows 199,000 Gains, 400,000 Were Expected

The pundits are just not getting it. It’s the inflation, stupid.

The Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) released the December jobs report today [DATA HERE] showing 199,000 job gains in December, approximately half of what was expected. Most financial pundits are perplexed as the employment rate drops to 3.9%, because many people have dropped out of the labor force. The labor participation rate remains unchanged at 61.9%.

Keep in mind the November jobs report showed a decline in retail jobs of 29,000 and this report shows that despite November & December being the largest shopping months for holidays, the retail sector jobs were nonexistent.

The issue is what we have discussed here for months, inflation.

The job quits and JOLT turnover reports from last week showed massive numbers of employees quitting their jobs. In part this is pressure from the vaccine mandate (more on that later). However, in majority what we are seeing is employment decisions based on inflation hitting the labor market.

Additionally, the current BLS report does not have the Omicron “winter of death” employment impact within it. That impact will come in the January report, and it will not be good. But let’s get down to reconciling December jobs data with reality on the ground.

Inflation is chewing up income amid the workforce. This is not debatable, and this is reflected in every opinion poll and economic statistic that has surfaced for the past six months. The BLS report somewhat surprised people in the 0.6% wage gains, and average wage increases are now 4.7% year over year. That should be a good thing…. However, inflation at 20 to 50+% on energy, fuel, gasoline and food means a 4.7% growth in wages is pittance.

A nickel more for a dollar earned is futile against food store inflation at 20 to 40% average price increases. We have never seen food, fuel and energy increase in price at such a rate, in such a short period of time (6 months). That real price situation is not going to improve. Economists call this “sticky” inflation, but that catch phrase does not adequately explain the foreboding issue of how damaging this is.

As this inflation relates to jobs and employment the situation is obvious. Pundits pretend not to know things, but the two issues are connected. Ordinary workers need much higher wages to compensate for massive increases in housing costs, energy costs, gas prices and, more importantly, food prices.

The fastest way to get a quick pay increase to compensate for fast and furious inflation is to switch jobs and start the new job, in the same sector, at a higher wage. That is what we are seeing with the overall turnover rate, quits report, and larger employment data. They are all connected.

Beyond inflation, you can see from this BLS data that things are tenuous in the economy. The November retail employment figure (-29,000) was a big red flag that everyone ignored. Additionally, holiday sales at +8% when the prices are +15% or more, means that people were buying less stuff at higher prices. Overall, less stuff (units sold) was purchased.

The December BLS data shows us actual hours worked in manufacturing declined (0.1 hrs), and overtime declined (0.1 hrs). Remember, the third quarter productivity rate dropped a stunning 5% overall.

Big Picture = less stuff is in demand, less stuff is being made, and less hours are being used; however, the amount of available labor in the creation of durable goods still exceeds the demand for those durable goods, hence productivity has dropped.

Construction employment is modest at +22,000 in December, but it is lower than the prior three months average of +38,000. Some of this is seasonal, but the trendline is much softer than a customary 3.9% total unemployment economy would show. Again, more evidence of weakness in the structural economy (no pun intended).

Two-thirds of the U.S. economy overall is dependent on people buying stuff. When people cannot afford to buy stuff because their disposable income has been wiped out by inflation; things in the data start to show the wobbly wheels of a tenuous economic train.

When the number of people quitting their jobs, or switching jobs, is twice the number of people getting officially hired in the BLS jobs report then you know things are sketchy.

Let me repeat the issue and try to emphasize the problem. It’s the inflation, stupid.

.

We have a looming problem that does not reconcile with 3.9% unemployment. The pundits are perplexed.

The confusion is because NO ECONOMIC data has ever shown this level of inflation in such a short period of time. There are no models. There is no experience in this situation. This is not like the 1970’s where oil prices were the direct and primary cause. This is different because we are experiencing shortages and price increases specifically due to policy.

Energy policy is killing us (oil and natural gas prices); Legislative policy is killing us (spending and bailouts); Monetary policy is killing us (cheap lending, quantitative easing, devaluation); all of this is causing massive inflation at a level we have never seen in history, and it’s on everything.

Then we throw in a vaccine mandate, and perpetual fear of a virus that hits both the demand side and the employment side simultaneously…. and, well, here you go. The disruptions inside the economy are like deep cuts, thousands of them, and they are not accidental.

Many, if not most, of these disruptions are being done at the altar of climate change and the Green New Deal.

COVID-19 mitigation and mandates only make this worse.

The disruptions in the supply chain are a direct result of policy. Now we have to prepare for inflation AND shortages. This will not get better in 2022.

Prepare your family accordingly. I believe those of you reading this article represent the people best prepared for what is about to happen.
