[Bumblebrain again promises that the feds spending an extra $5T this decade under its BBB plan will be the best thing for the economy since "it will cost nothing" by taxing the bejeezus out of everyone in sight.  You really didn't believe that "only those making over $400K" did you?  What is it that makes all leftwingers terminally stupid about economics and as to how humans respond to armed confiscation?  Perhaps that mental deficiency is a prerequisite for becoming a leftwinger.  gjr]

    I will pick up where Brother Walt left off. This is the face of the entire Democrat Party, 2021.
    ‘Jan. 6 committee admits another blunder as Jordan rips Schiff for doctoring text messages’
    “This is the second time in less than a month that the Jan. 6 committee has acknowledged a major blunder for pushing a false narrative of events.
    “It was doctored,” Jordan told Just the News in his first public comments on the matter. “It was a text message that was forwarded on to Mark [Meadows]. This again shows how partisan, biased, and wrong this [Jan. 6] committee is. Who can trust anything they do? If they’re willing to doctor a document and mislead the American people, who can trust anything they do?”
    Jordan was referring to what transpired at a hearing of the Jan. 6 select committee on Monday night. Schiff claimed to have evidence showing Jordan on the eve of the Capitol breach pushing Meadows, who was serving as White House chief of staff at the time, to instruct then-Vice President Mike Pence to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
    However, the text messages in question, which Just the News obtained, reveal that Schiff painted a distorted picture of the conversation.
    At the hearing, Schiff said he wanted to display some of the messages that Meadows received from members of Congress, noting the committee isn’t naming the lawmakers while its investigation is ongoing.
    The California Democrat then displayed a graphic of one such message, which read, “On January 6, 2021, Vice President Mike Pence, as President of the Senate, should call out all electoral votes that he believes are unconstitutional as no electoral votes at all.”
    Schiff described the message as proof that some members of Congress were working with President Trump’s White House to thwart the democratic process.
    “You can see why this is so critical to ask Mr. Meadows about,” Schiff said. “About a lawmaker suggesting that the former vice president simply throw out votes that he unilaterally deems unconstitutional in order to overturn a presidential election and subvert the will of the American people.”
    The actual text message that Schiff claimed to display tells a different story, however.”….
    [and it gets better]

    It will be all free. The rich will pay for it.
    https://news.yahoo.com/elizabeth-warren-slams-elon-musks-175447926.html
    “…and Musk would be on the hook for $50 billion in taxes for the first five years.”
    Since he has no income, where would the money come from? He would have to sell and everyone would know when that would be. What would that do to the stock price? And the sale of assets would trigger a taxable event and he’d have to pay taxes on that. Where would that money come from?
    Do people like Warren even spend any time at all pondering the full effect of their blather?
    “”Let’s change the rigged tax code so The Person of the Year will actually pay taxes and stop freeloading off everyone else,” Warren wrote on Twitter.”
    And who wrote this “rigged” tax code?
    The idea that Musk is a freeloader is laughable.
    Warren is the freeloader.
    When our fed govt’s finances are controlled by idiots with a severe envy and greed problem, it never ends well.

    So the brainiacs in the state department created a program to make sure they dont upset china, now why would they do that? Perhaps to give bought and sold creepy grampa joe and the crack head cover when creepy grampa joe kisses emperor xi’s ass? Check out that last line –
    U.S. builds new software tool to predict actions that could draw China’s ire
    The tool calculates “strategic friction,” a defense official said. It looks at data since early 2020 and evaluates significant activities that had impacted U.S.-Sino relations. The computer-based system will help the Pentagon predict whether certain actions will provoke an outsized Chinese reaction.
    In October, the Chinese military condemned the United States and Canada for each sending a warship through the Taiwan Strait, saying they were threatening peace and stability in the region. The incident and others like it have fueled demand for the tool, the U.S. official said, to ensure the United States does not inadvertently upset China with its actions.

    Well, Biden did get us out of Afghanistan….boy did he ever.

No thanks to Joe Dementia, the one person in government who has not gotten ONE single foreign policy right in his long not so stellar career. Always on the wrong side of history every dagnabbit time. He may be a better Senator than a leader. He just can’t cut the mustard. But, he sure can cut the cheese.
    Amazing record Biden has acquired. There is no hope that he will ever get anything right. But, hope away. Without hope we all perish. Hope is a mainstay. Biden is back! Oh shoot, time to run to the bunker. Here one for the record books:
    ‘Biden’s broken promise: President shamefully leaves Americans behind in Afghanistan’

    Here you go Scott, from a Conservative source no less.
    “President Donald Trump added nearly $8 trillion to the U.S. national debt throughout his presidency, according to the Washington Examiner.
    Before Trump took office in 2016, the federal debt stood at roughly $20 trillion, but it has ballooned over the past four years to nearly $28 trillion as of Monday, the Examiner reported, citing data from the Treasury Department. Former President Barack Obama, who served two terms in office, increased the nation’s debt by roughly $9 trillion over the course of eight years, according to the Examiner.
    https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/trumps-legacy-added-debt-one-term
    “[Trump’s] tenure has been marked by a total disregard for any concern about mounting debt,” fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank, Jim Capretta told the Examiner. “Trump saw that it would be to his political advantage to be very liberal in terms of spending and tax reductions happening simultaneously.”
    The president’s first-year tax cuts increased the debt by roughly $1.9 trillion over 10 years, and Trump hiked annual spending from $3.85 trillion to $4.6 trillion in 2020 — all of which came before coronavirus-related expenditures, the Examiner reported citing the Congressional Budget Office and the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. The Republican’s coronavirus relief debt has so far totaled roughly $1.8 trillion, according to the Examiner.”

    What’s your take on this ripoff of the Republican Party ?
    “Washington (CNN)The Republican National Committee is paying some of former President Donald Trump’s legal bills, using donor funds to help him pay an attorney representing him in a New York investigation into his company’s business practices, according to campaign finance filings and a party spokeswoman.
    The RNC made two payments totaling $121,670 to Fischetti and Malgieri LLP in October, the committee’s recently filed report with the Federal Election Commission shows. Ronald Fischetti, a partner in the firm and a criminal defense attorney, is representing Trump in a criminal investigation into the Trump Organization’s business practices.
    Fischetti did not immediately respond to CNN’s request for comment. Trump aides also did not immediately respond.
    The Washington Post first reported the payments.
    A spokeswoman for the RNC said in a statement that its “Executive Committee approved paying for certain legal expenses that relate to politically motivated legal proceedings waged against President Trump.”
    “As a leader of our party, defending President Trump and his record of achievement is critical to the GOP,” she added. “It is entirely appropriate for the RNC to continue assisting in fighting back against the Democrats’ never ending witch hunt and attacks on him.”
