   Issue after issue, the bubble people find themselves on the wrong side and most amazingly, the bubble people find themselves on the wrong side of their own party. Best thing is they haven’t a clue, not an inkling. Due to some unexplained phenomenon, they lack the ability to grasp the reality of the situation. Name an issue, any issue. Pride indeed is a prison and fear is the big one.
   ‘More than 52% of Democratic voters in Florida SUPPORT so-called ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill that bans teaching of sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade, new poll shows’
   The poll found that more than 52 percent of Democratic voters surveyed, roughly 365 people, oppose the Governor Ron DeSantis-championed policy
   A further 12 percent remarked that they were unsure of their stance on the bill
   Just 36 percent of those polled said they opposed the legislation, officially called the ‘Parental Rights in Education Bill’
   The results come just days after a POLITICO/Morning Consult poll revealed that a majority of Americans support the guidance

   “Issue after issue, the bubble people find themselves on the wrong side ”
   If ‘wrong side’ means against the majority, I’d agree.
   The thing is that majority doesn’t really matter so much, and neither does reasonable.
   Any small, highly-focused group can hit way above it’s weight. This modern fascination with the promotion of mentally-ill cross-dressing men is a canonical case. Between Grand Admiral Levine and the buggerer of trussed-up dogsuit wearers, it’s obvious that we’ve lost the plot
   It’s worth considering that aside from the occasional cycle of whackiness any civilization goes through, perhaps just before collapse, it sure doesn’t hurt that the means of communication are now controlled by a population (tech workers) that draws heavily from the crazy end of the spectrum.

   “There’s probably a sociology paper hidden in that.”
   After thousands of years of human history and development, after all the eons of mankind, in 2022 science has brought us to the point where the unanswered question is, “What is a woman?” From a legal standpoint, this affects Title IX, women’s rights, equal protection clauses and more. We can no longer say there are billions of women on Planet Earth because no one can define what a woman is. Or, they can definite what a woman is, but are too fearful to utter the obvious.
   Learn something new everyday. I have learned that there are those to make their livings in our day and age being biological philosophers. Yes, that’s right. We have biological philosophers.

   Chinese Eastern AIrlines crash on 3/21/22 MU-5735)-
   This was a (made in 2015) Boeing 737-800-NG, which doesn’t use the MCAS automation of the 737-MAX, which itself is still grounded in China.
   CVR (voice recorder found several days ago); FDR (flight data recorder found yesterday). Flightradar24 data table from NY Times article shows altitude recovery for 30 seconds during it’s precipitous drop – puzzling.
   https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/21/world/asia/flight-path-eastern-airlines.html
   Chinese-related information about the crash is provided by Lei, who is China-born, but now a U.S. analyst of uncensored info into & out of China.
   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmtkeLXCsNg
   Her video deals a lot with suicide-by-pilot as the cause of the crash. She discusses the drop-off in number of flights in China over the last 2 years as affecting pilots’ incomes, and many pilots are struggling financially.
   There were 3 pilots in the cockpit- capt (6000+ hours); 1st off (30,000+), and a 3rd seater observer pilot (500+).

   Dems just can’t help it – there’s always something out there to tax. But don’t you worry! It’ll only apply to a handful of the filthy rich. Just exactly like the income tax. You don’t pay income tax, do you? And our debt will be reduced (theoretically) by some minuscule amount to be offset by the enforcement costs and loss of economic activity in other areas. But the tax lawyers will have a whole new field to romp in so they’re happy. And Biden gets to act like he’s got that Monopoly Man in the top hat by the balls!
   Exit question – if they can tax pretend income, will the billionaires get to write off pretend losses?

    “Called the “Billionaire Minimum Income Tax,” it would assess a 20% minimum tax rate on U.S. households worth more than $100 million.”
    I see a key concept there. ‘Worth more’.
    ie. income tax based on net worth, not income.
    Just imagine the regulatory apparatus you get to set up. Chasing down assets all over the globe to figger out some grand total. Assessing art and real estate, search their homes for sterling tableware, buried gold. Soon to be a national wealth tax, inching downwards through the ranks.
    The variant I keep expecting is the merger of tax-deferred accounts with public employee pension plans and social security, especially increased social security for well-liked groups. There’s a whole lotta money just sitting there that could be used for good deeds.

    How low can Joe go?
    “All of which brings us to the stunning new poll result out from the well-respected—and Democrat-connected—Iowa Poll, whose most recent nationwide survey finds Biden’s overall approval rating at 34 percent. This is very nearly Nixon-on-the-eve of resignation territory, or George W. Bush after eight years of public weariness over the war in Iraq, but if Biden tries really hard, I’m sure he can sink further……”
    “A gold-standard pollster heralded by Democrats for her accuracy has just pulled the rug out from under the White House with the worst findings yet for President Joe Biden.
    Ann Selzer, who conducts the famous Iowa Poll, working with Iowa’s Grinnell College, has found nationally that Biden’s approval rating has sunk to 34% and that most respondents believe the economy is also heading south.
    “The latest edition of the Grinnell College National Poll (Grinnell-Selzer) shows that nearly 6 in 10 Americans believe the economy will get worse in the next 12 months — the highest number recorded in the history of the poll. And the pessimism about the future of the economy may be weighing down President Joe Biden’s approval ratings across the board,” said the poll analysis.

    Biden’s 20% ‘billionaires tax’ is archetypical confusion from this administration. It starts with those making more than $100M/year, or was it those with net assets greater than $100M (including unrealized capital gains), or was it both?? In any event, it probably will not pass. But if it does, it will be one more ratchet in distorting the free flow of capital from where it would be most productive. But hey, that’s the basic premise of socialist economics.

    Ah, diversity! The magic wand that fixes everything.
    Our next probable addition to the Fed board of governors is one Lisa Cook. In case all the photos don’t clue you in, the articles written about her will. She will bring diversity to the Fed! Huzzah! Personally, I’d prefer competence, but that’s just me. From the article:
    “Based on a career studying inequalities, it’s likely Cook would prove a critical voice at the Fed in debates over how to hike interest rates in an economy where Black Americans continue to lag in the national employment recovery.”
    Kinda like asking the building engineer in the hospital to adjust the building temperature until everyone gets well at an equal rate. Or at least die at an equal rate. Just what ‘rate’ ensures that blacks have as many jobs as whites? But I’m sure our new gal is up to the job!

    The only way you could tell marital status was the ‘Miss’ or ‘Mrs.’ in front of the names of the teachers who menstruate, although quite a few were too old for that. Dunno what you call them.

    “Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty has been at the height of radical left activism in the city. During the ongoing riots perpetrated by Antifa and Black Lives Matter following the death of George Floyd in 2020, which led to a month long siege of the federal courthouse, Hardesty denied that protesters engaged in violence and blamed Portland police officers for setting fires to “frame” Antifa. She also made false accusations that “undercover white supremacists” started the riots, despite substantial documented evidence stating otherwise.
    In May 2021, Hardesty led a mob of far-left activists to try to get a contracted city worker fired for displaying a Thin Blue Line flag decal on his truck”

Details are lacking at the moment. The White House says Biden will deliver remarks at 1:30 p.m. ET on “his administration’s actions to reduce the impact of Putin’s price hike on energy prices and lower gas prices at the pump for American families.”
    Some facts and figures: The SPR currently holds 568.3 million barrels, which means Biden’s proposed withdrawal amounts to about a third of the total inventory of the SPR.
    Second, 180 million barrels represents nine days of oil use in the U.S. Maybe this is why the release of 30 million barrels a few weeks ago hasn’t had much effect. Reuters reports:”

    Creepy grampa joe got played by the green luddites –
    Shifting Europe’s energy dependence away from Russia and toward other sources, especially the United States, is a long-term investment in stability. This might have been underway much sooner had the White House understood the positive aspects of promoting American energy influence.
    Donald Trump had laid out this same strategy in 2017, specifically as a means of reducing Russia’s leverage in Europe. The approach was codified as part of a larger trade deal with the EU in 2018.
    However, the Biden administration reversed course on the effort to marginalize Russian energy influence. In 2021, the White House dropped U.S. sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline that would ship Russian LNG directly to Europe. It was pitched as a means of mending ties with Europe.
    Even at the time, it was clear that the deal not only rewarded Russia but also could potentially destabilize Eastern Europe by giving Moscow a gas route that bypassed Ukraine.
    President Volodymyr Zelenskyy believed that Nord Stream 2 was a geopolitical weapon being used by the Kremlin to increase European dependence on Russian energy and to marginalize and weaken Ukraine.
    A September report noted, “There are fears that Nord Stream 2 could facilitate a possible Russian invasion, as Moscow will no longer have to worry about Ukraine’s gas infrastructure to supply its main European customers.
    As late as January, with Russian troops poised to invade, the White House was fighting off attempts to reimpose pipeline sanctions. In fact, Nord Stream 2 handed all the cards to Putin, and the war in Ukraine came as predicted. The American leverage was illusory.
    Real strategic leverage comes from using national power and advantage, which is the point of resurrecting the Trump strategy of turning Europe away from dependence on Russia.
    U.S. emerged as energy giant
    The United States has become an energy giant in recent years by rapidly increasing production of oil and natural gas. In 2019, the United States became a net energy producer for the first time since 1957. That made the country more energy self-sufficient and gave policymakers new strategic tools in shaping global stability.
    Higher energy output lowered global prices, denuding the coffers of adversary states like Russia, Iran and Venezuela, while boosting U.S. gross domestic product.

    Punchy. You have now make yourself into a liar. You said you would not respond. I have no time for liars, albeit no one is perfect. Still, if a man cannot for whatever reason be as good as his word, then we split ways. Stop lying, stop breaking your word, and if you have any humanity or dignity left in your wretched corrupt being, please follow the rules you imposed on yourself. You need major help, you piece of lying shit. We’re you lying then, or are you lying now? Be gone and read a book on ethics…
