[With today’s signing of the trillion plus ‘infrastructure bill’ the Democrat perfidy is made visible.  The bill contain1s so little (about $100B) for actually fixing roads, bridges, etc that municipalities are not prepared to issue massive new amounts of municipal bonds – usually a jurisdiction’s ‘matching funds’ to garner federal subsidies.  Therefore, the outstanding tax-free municipal bond prices are rising and their yields falling.  The infrastructure bill is yet another Biden travesty that misses the mark as the feds (the Fed) continue printing new money.  So the question stands – name ONE thing that Bumblebrain has done right.  gjr]

    This is the kind of self talk in a limited lefty circle that is crushing the socialist dems especially among independents –
    O’Rourke’s 2020 presidential campaign took a hit and did not seem to recover following the publication of a 8,600-word cover story for Vanity Fair in which he was quoted as saying, “I want to be in it. Man, I’m just born to be in it.” He also frequently made the joke that he “sometimes” helps raise his kids. The Texas Democrat was mocked mercilessly for the story and his comments were called sexist by critics who noted a female candidate would perhaps not be able to get away with the same narrative.
    Confronted with the criticism during an appearance on “The View,” O’Rourke said he regretted the photoshoot and it reinforced the “perception of privilege.”
    Several months after the story’s publication, Vanity Fair published a telling piece called, “How the Media Fell Out of Love with Beto O’Rourke.”
    O’Rourke enjoyed widespread support from progressives when he first hit the national scene and announced a run for the Senate against Sen. Ted Cruz. But in the latest survey from the University of Texas at Austin and The Texas Tribune, just 35% of voters rated O’Rourke favorably, while 50% rated him unfavorably.
    “Abbott’s popularity has waned, but you enter the race even less popular,” Texas Monthly’s Jonathan Tilove said to O’Rourke after he announced his run. “Unlike in 2018, you are now a well-known and polarizing figure, and the Abbott campaign will make sure Texans repeatedly hear the statements you made when you ran for president that put you to the left of most Texas voters. Will those define you negatively?”

    Well i guess the knew that any threat of forceful resistance takes a back seat for the wokester in the DOD. DOH!
    The effort is also aimed at steering Putin away from further aggression on Ukraine by making clear there would be a strong and coordinated response, two of the people said. They declined to specify what might be included, but with heavy sanctions already on many parts of the Russian economy including its defense and finance sectors, one area left to attack might be energy. A White House spokesperson declined to comment.

    ““When we marched in Ferguson, white supremacists would hide behind a hill near where Michael Brown Jr. was murdered and shoot at us,” Bush tweeted. “They never faced consequences. If Kyle Rittenhouse gets acquitted, it tells them that even 7 years later they still can get away with it.””
    bwahahaha. They are such liars.
    The incredibly sad thing, probably discussed by future historians, is that the most likely side effect of the ‘white supremacist’ meme is that it actually comes to pass. If the Blue Mob wants to create a country with the politics of prison inmates, you might expect the same evolution of in-group formation. Balkanization uber alles.
    If the competent half of the country takes on the same laissez-faire attitude towards violent demonstration, building burning, street crime that the Blue Mob has, I can’t say that we end up in a good place.
    It really boils down to whether the US Cultural Revolution continues to gain traction or if it recedes for some reason. Action begets counteraction.

    It’s getting so rare for any actual ‘racist’ events that the lefties have to start inventing them from whole cloth. A white guy shoots 3 white guys in self defense prosecuted and defended by white men, the judge and I believe 11 jurors are white.
    So Biden calls Rittenhouse a ‘white supremacist’ and this now becomes a racial thing. Good grief.
    Now Bush is fantasizing being shot at by ‘white supremacists’.

    In retrospect, the absolutely hilarious angle about this article:

    https://www.newsweek.com/we-are-way-right-wing-coup-cia-director-privately-warned-1647538
    ..is that the coup actually took place. The nomenklatura essentially locked down their control of the US after Trump represented an electoral threat to their power in 2020. We’re really not so far removed from the palace politics of Byzantium or medieval Europe.

    Taking to heart Dr. Rebane’s several warnings about the folly (giddiness) of celebrating prematurely based on daily snapshots (polls), I will venture way out on a branch to say Biden may not run for re-election. I am probably wrong, but may be correct in the fullness of time. Right now it’s a mute point anyhow. What is important is the Lefty elitists and overlords continue to believe strongly that their only problems are a messing problem. The same problem that the DNC’s Debbie Whatzername Shultz identified after much soul searching in the aftermath of the bloodbath of 2010: it’s merely a messaging problem exasperated by misinformation.
    As long as the Justice Democrats keep behaving with their collective heads in the sand, The Doldrums are not quite so severe. Ignorance is Bliss indeed as the polls in this snapshot in time are all sailing in the same direction. Keep doing what you are doing and you will keep getting what you are getting. Please, New Left, remain filled with unwarranted arrogance and derisive condescension to any questions, not to mention challenges to the status quo.
    The skipped over by the Lamestream Wa Compost-ABC weekend poll. Polls all are reading the same tea leaves. Biden on the campaign trail said “the middle class built America” but now acts if his administration has contempt for the middle class.

    Voters socked by inflation and underwhelmed by President Joe Biden now favor Republicans in the 2022 midterm elections by a historic margin, prompting predictions of the largest gain in House seats in the modern voting era.
    However, there is a huge 20-point gap among independents who would choose a generic Republican over a generic Democrat by a margin of 48%-26%.
    While the questioning is a bit different in the new Rasmussen survey than in past years, the gap is apparently historic and even stronger because the latest survey offered the alternatives of “some other candidate” and “not sure,” said the polling outfit.

    DEFEAT: Paul Krugman Admits, ‘I Got Inflation Wrong’
    “In addition, The Journal editorial board noted how President Joe Biden and the Federal Reserve “squeezed the supply side with incentives not to work, restrictive mandates, and the promise of more regulation and higher taxes. The result is 5% inflation and supply-chain disruptions that CEOs say will stretch well into 2022 and maybe beyond.” Krugman seems hell-bent on protecting his “very strong” case for “Bidenomics.” He recently tried to insulate Biden by embarrassingly claiming the president had “no control” over the spike in gas prices.
    Krugman did suggest that his hedging “doesn’t say that the inflation will necessarily be transitory, although I think that’s still the best bet. But it is important to realize that the story is more complicated than excessive stimulus.” Even his quasi-admission that inflation may or may not be “transitory” is still quite a hedge from his Sept. 10 op-ed, in which he stated definitively in his headline: “Wonking Out: I’m Still on Team Transitory.”
    Take the “L” and move on, Krugman.

    ONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — A federal judge has blocked the U.S. Treasury from enforcing a provision of the American Rescue Plan Act that prohibited states from using the pandemic relief funds to offset new tax cuts.
    U.S. District Judge L. Scott Coogler ruled Monday in Alabama that Congress exceeded its power in putting the so-called tax mandate on states. He entered a final judgement in favor of 13 states that had filed a lawsuit and instructed the Treasury Department not to enforce the provision. The judge left the rest of the law in place.
    The American Rescue Plan steered $195 billion in flexible relief funds to states but specified that states could not use it as a means to cut taxes by using the federal relief dollars to offset the revenue reduction.
    The judge described the tax-cut restrictions as “a federal invasion of State sovereignty” that was “unconstitutionally ambiguous” — leaving states guessing as to whether their tax cuts would trigger a repayment of federal funds.
