    Creepy grampa joes war on the south –
    Christina Pushaw, press secretary for DeSantis, blasted the Biden administration’s move and suggested that “every corporate media outlet that publishes sensational stories about ‘overflowing hospitals’ in the South” should first “demand answers from the Biden Administration about why they’re restricting the supply of life saving COVID treatment to the South.”
    “Supply of monoclonal antibody treatment to Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Texas & other Southern states restricted by Biden Admin with no real explanation besides ‘equity,’” she continued, asking, “How is it equitable to only send treatment for HALF the Floridians who need it, & NO state sites in Alabama?”

    Come to think of it, Emery is a member of the “tail tucker” club. Tuck tail and run is LIB trait. They don’t care who they leave behind. They don’t care about the ramifications.
    But HEY!! They are full of excuses and blame others.
    I guess we should have never entered WWII. Just take the hits.(Pearl harbor) No big deal.. Right Emery?
    Let all of Western Europe and England fight their own battle.
    Emery would have no problem seeing them all speaking German today.
    Oh I almost forgot. We should still be under British rule according to Emery. Those damned traitors of the revolutionary war.
    OK Emery,, any thoughts on the civil war? Should the ” South” still be it’s own nation (of Democrats)?
    Should the Abraham Lincoln monuments come down next?

    It’s your side that wants to spend like Senators in a whore house.
    “The Leader repeated to Secretary Yellen what he has said publicly since July: This is a unified Democrat government, engaging in a partisan reckless tax and spending spree,” McConnell spokesperson Doug Andres said Thursday. “They will have to raise the debt ceiling on their own, and they have the tools to do it.”
    For months, Yellen has been urging Congress to increase the government’s borrowing limit, warning the Treasury Department will exhaust its so-called extraordinary measures in October.

    Maher noted a whopping 41% of Democrats thought it was over 50%, while 28% thought it was 20-49% of COVID patients wind up in the hospital.
    “70% of Democrats thought it was way, way, way higher than it really was,” Maher said. “Liberal media has to take a little responsibility for that. For scaring the s–t out of people.

    “The battle to raise the government’s borrowing limit carries big risks for state and local officials, the White House said in a fact sheet obtained by the Associated Press. With the total debt standing at $28.5 trillion, the government would be forced to slash federal programs unless the cap is either suspended or lifted.
    The Treasury Department began implementing extraordinary measures to keep the government running after the debt limit was reinstated in August around $22 trillion – about $6 trillion less than the actual level. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has warned Congress the federal government will run out of cash to pays its bills sometime in October.”

    They really do hate americans –
    Three hundred million Americans must ensure their homeland complies with the expectations of “brave” foreign migrants, not the needs of their own families, according to a “Citizenship Day” video by President Joe Biden.
    “Citizenship Day is a reminder that the job of every single one of us is to ensure that America remains a country worthy of immigrants’ aspirations,” Biden said in a September 17 video.
    Biden ignored 300 million Americans’ concerns, accomplishments, and right to a national labor market.
    He instead praised migrants — including millions of illegal migrants — who are being invited by his government to compete for the jobs, careers, wages, and housing needed by Americans:
    Every immigrant comes here from different circumstances and for different reasons, but they all have one thing in common: Courage. It takes courage to leave behind all you’ve ever known and start a new life in America.
    Biden also described illegal migrants who took jobs from Americans as saviors of hapless Americans, saying they “carried our country on their backs throughout this pandemic.”
    Legal and illegal migrants do a minority of the work in nearly all job categories.

    ‘New Durham indictment exposes second leg of Hillary Clinton’s Russia collusion dirty trick’
    Indictment alleges Democrat lawyer was paid by Clinton campaign to develop documents on alleged Russia collusion computer link to Trump and give it to FBI in final days of election despite concerns it was a ‘red herring’
    “Nearly two years after evidence emerged that the infamous Steele dossier was a political dirty trick filled with Russian disinformation and disproved allegations, Special Counsel John Durham unloaded a new indictment that exposes a parallel effort by Hillary Clinton’s campaign to flood the FBI with more dubious Trump-Russia collusion dirt”………
    “Slowly over five years, the Russia collusion story has been exposed for what it was: a three-legged political dirty trick in which highly credible figures with deep law enforcement, intelligence and news media ties were paid by the Clinton campaign to flood the FBI with unproven allegations that Trump was secretly colluding with Russia to steal the election from Clinton.
    1) The effort was launched after Clinton’s campaign funded a poll in 2015 showing her own ties to Russia and Moscow money paid to her husband, ex-President Bill Clinton, were threatening her path to the presidency, according to documents made public last year in “Fallout,” a book by this reporter and coauthor Seamus Bruner.
    The first leg of the collusion narrative was run by Steele, who used his MI-6 credentials and his prior ties to the FBI and high-ranking DOJ official Bruce Ohr to walk in his infamous dossier to U.S. law enforcement and intelligence in the summer of 2016. The FBI ultimately concluded Steele’s dossier was riddled with Russian disinformation and disproved evidence.
    —-
    2) The second leg was Sussmann, who crafted information from computer experts supporting Hillary Clinton into the tale of the Alfa Bank server back door. That narrative was flagged by Sussmann’s team as unlikely even before he pitched it to the FBI, according to the indictment, and the theory was ultimately dismissed by the FBI and Russia Special Counsel Robert Mueller. “It wasn’t true,” Mueller testified to Congress in 2019.
    ——
    3) And the third leg of the dirty trick consisted of the efforts of federal bureaucrats inside the FBI, State Department and intelligence community — many of whom disliked Trump — who managed to deceive the FISA court, the Congress and the American public, often by using leaks to news media outlets to sustain a collusion story that had fallen apart within weeks of Steele’s first approach.
