    You have to wonder how many ‘nonprofit’ administrators and the like are gobbling from that trough –
    The city of Denver spends at least twice as much on homelessness per person as it does on K-12 public school students – and the spending crushes the veterans affairs budget in the state, a new study released Thursday found, according to a report.
    For comparison, the city reportedly spends between $41,679 and $104,201 on each person experiencing homelessness in a year while only $19,202 on each K-12 public school student over the same period of time.

Kind of ionic –
    American intelligence agencies have begun reportedly deciphering genetic data from the Wuhan Lab to confirm the origin of the Chinese coronavirus.
    Still unclear how intelligence agencies obtained “access to the information,” the “giant catalog of information contains genetic blueprints drawn from virus samples studied at the lab in Wuhan,” CNN reported. “But the machines involved in creating and processing this kind of genetic data from viruses are typically connected to external cloud-based servers — leaving open the possibility they were hacked.”

    Walt don’t you remember the call out? “It’s the economy stupid ! ”
    Dems will cruise in 2022. We’re recovering from the trashed Trump economy just like we did from the wrecked Bush economy. It takes Dems to turn things around. This is from Fox News none the less.
    “US economy adds 943K jobs in July, blowing past expectations
    Unemployment rate fell to 5.4%”
    U.S. employers hired more workers than expected last month as a number of states ended extended unemployment benefits before the September expiration.
    Nonfarm payrolls increased by 943,000 workers in July as the unemployment rate fell to 5.4%, the Labor Department said Friday. Analysts surveyed by Refintiv were expecting 870,000 jobs gained and the unemployment rate to fall to 5.7% from 5.9%. June’s reading was revised higher by 88,000 jobs to 938,000.
    “Although there have been some cracks in the armor, today’s jobs number showed that once again our economy is incredibly resilient and moving forward,” said Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at LPL Financial.

    I am not sure Trump win run in 2024. By 2024, Trump would be the age Biden is now and as Biden has proved beyond any reasonable doubt, that just too damned old. I can’t believed I used Biden and ‘reasonable’ in the same sentence.
    As Don pointed out @ 2:06 pm:
    “You know, we have roughly 350 million people vaccinated in the United States and billions around the world,” Biden said after looking at his note card provided by White House staff.
    Approximately 165 million Americans have been fully vaccinated, according to the latest numbers from the Centers for Disease Control. Currently, 349 million vaccine shots have been administered.
    But Biden made the same mistake after looking at his notes again.
    “I said, well over … what is the number again? I have to remind myself. … 350 million Americans have already been vaccinated,” he said.
    There are only about 328.2 million Americans in the United States, according to the latest Census Bureau estimates.”
    Yes Creepy Sleepy Joe, we know. Oh, do we know, man.
    Trump puts his notes in his pocket, Biden can’t even read his notes in front of his face. Hate to see Trump go through what Biden suffers from on an daily basis at that age. Too painful and embarrassing to watch. I rest my case.

    I think that l Trump served his purpose and got the Republican Party out of the elitist rut and broken the mold on how to deal with the liberal media. That’s just a couple things that he did. He also got the progressive freaks to come out of their hiding spot and into the open so that everyone can see who exactly they are and what exactly they want. Marxism.

He either answers the question he wants to answer whether or not that was the question at hand, or he answers the wrong person, or something else similarly embarrassing. If he had read my post I’ve really already answered his question…..“What is your estimate fish as to when and how this will happen?. When would be right after the 2022 midterm election if association with Joey Fingers causes the democrats to do poorly at the polls. How?…..the acting Chief Executive… Ron Klain will take The Pride of Scranton aside and let him know that all of the damning information that they sat on during the run up to 2020 will start to come out shortly thereafter if Joey refuses to leave.
    Joey then wisely decides to leave.

    “Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has slipped behind a Democratic gubernatorial rival in a new poll as he faces scrutiny over his handling of the pandemic amid a surge in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in the Sunshine State.
    The survey, conducted by Florida-based firm St. Pete Polls, found that 45 percent of voters said they would vote for Democratic Rep. Charlie Crist (Fla.), who previously served as governor from 2007 to 2011, while 44 percent said they would back DeSantis.”

    At least he is honest about the lefts crazy wokester BS –
    Comedian Bill Maher slammed “woke” culture and said that defunding the police and ignoring the theory that the coronavirus came from a Chinese lab due to fear of being called racist are examples of how “wokeness” will “get people killed.”
    “Let me give you an example, you said you think it doesn’t get anybody killed? I think it does,” Maher said on “Real Time” Friday night. “Defunding the police I think came from wokeness and it will get people killed.”
    Maher added that he believes the refusal from major news outlets, specifically the New York Times, to cover the theory that the coronavirus came from a Chinese lab is another example of “wokeness” getting people hurt.
    “The Spectator says that The New York Times ‘refused to investigate’ [what] they call, ‘the biggest story of our time,’” Maher said. “They’re talking about where the virus originated, maybe it was in the Wuhan lab. Because — they ‘suppressed efforts to probe the virus’ origins’ for, among reasons, because they thought it was racist.”
    Maher continued, “You see, because everything is race, come on, at The New York Times. And so, the paper of record is not reporting what I would expect the paper of record to report, the accurate news. That is an example of the power of wokeness. Yes, it does have power. So, it’s not just one-sided. It’s just not as bad [as authoritarianism on the right].”
    Earlier in the show, Maher called on embattled New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to resign following a report concluding he sexually harassed multiple women and said the scandal is worse than the blackface controversy that surrounded Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam.
    “How is he still there?” Maher asked. “What does he think is gonna happen? Like, why would you stay at this moment? It’s been a whole week since the report came out. They’re going to impeach him if he doesn’t leave. Wouldn’t you rather go on your own accord? Wouldn’t you rather be, ‘You can’t fire me, I quit’ then get impeached in a week?”
