‘Workers of the world, arise and celebrate the day that brings us together to again be thankful for the blessings of collectivism that unite us in a revolution to make socialism available to all peoples everywhere.’ – or something similar.  I just thought it would be appropriate to make up that piece of crap on May Day.

Inflation Tax.  Last year many of us already saw the salacious intents of the Biden administration in how they were systematically going about to ruin the nation.  Among the many disasters they were cooking up was inflation.  Well, it’s here now, and the piece I posted then (here) is definitely worth reviewing by those who are impacted by inflation and those who are planning to be so impacted.  I count myself among the latter, so it’s time to review the taxing aspects of inflation (here).  And for those who are spreadsheet challenged, I made a spreadsheet with the formulas from the ‘Inflation – up close and personal’ post. Download InflationInvesting2

Wealth tax:  The Build Back Bullshit agenda is still not dead and buried.  Team Bumblebrain has every intent on passing most of its provisions, especially those increasing our taxes.  The administration’s entire team on economics are double dummies who couldn’t pass Econ 101.  They continue to tell the sheeple that we can tax ourselves out of an inflationary spiral.  Even Keynes, the lord of demand-siders, counseled against raising taxes in an inflation infested economy. (more here)

Election corruption right here in River City?  My bride and a commenter picked up on a thinly disguised campaign ad in the 30apr22 Union for Natalie Adona, our Soros'(?) foreign plant Assistant Registrar of Voters, who is running for the county’s Clerk Recorder – Registrar of Voters in the 7jun22 election.  The ad, pictured below, is made to look like a public service announcement from the Nevada County Clerk Recorder – Registrar of Voters office.  Notice the formal seal in the lower right corner.  Were it a bona-fide voter info notice from that office, then it would have been published under the aegis of our current holder of that office, Greg Diaz.  It does not speak well for The Union to have allowed this campaign ad to appear without some corrective editorial comment.

    “Of course that might change between now and the release of the ruling.”
    Hit the nail on the head. My gut instinct is that the abortion draft was leaked to persuade John Roberts to cave and/or to mobilize the pro-abortion troops now and launch into more talk of stacking SCOTUS and reigniting the effort to end the Senate filibuster. Mid-terms are just too far away, must act now. Now! Just like in the first days, weeks of the Biden Administration.
    But, consider me jaded…or bored to tears with the same o’ same o’ song and dance.

    scenes 7:11 – “A sliding scale of human rights applied to a fetus as it becomes human is a tricky thing…”
    Well – they’ve had plenty of practice applying different standards of rights to various humans based on group identity. It seems that some animals really ARE more equal than others.
    “becoming human…”
    Hmmm –
    Would that be when the zygote is just starting to form and the DNA helix has not quite become fully united?
    Actually, a lot of adults act as if they have not yet become human.

    Cankels is back in the news and again for all the wrong reasons –
    A photo of Hillary Clinton attending the Met Gala received some brutal reaction from Twitter users on Monday evening.
    The photo depicted Clinton walking the red carpet at the celebrity-studded event in a red ball gown. The failed presidential candidate was all smiles, posing for the camera without wearing a mask, while a masked African American gentleman – who appeared to be one of the event’s staff – doted on her, adjusting her dress.
    Critics slammed the image as the perfect encapsulation of elitist privilege. One said it looked like something out of “The Hunger Games.”
    Right-wing radio host Austin Petersen remarked on what he perceived as the photo’s racist connotations. “From the Antebellum South, to Jim Crow, to modern America, Democrats haven’t really changed all that much. #HillaryClinton,” he tweeted.
    “This photo perfectly encapsulates the current state of our country,” tweeted conservative commentator Kyle Kashuv.
    Conservative vlogger Blaire White commented on Kashuv’s post, tweeting, “This photo should be in history books that discuss Covid regulations.”

    Has the NY Times or WaPo ever referred to (correctly of course) Elon Musk as the noteworthy, richest, bestest…. African-American?
    Yeah, didn’t think so. If he isn’t, who else could be?

    Yep. The county paid for an ad for her and during the recall after Diaz decided to retire and she decided to run. Diaz had to get her name out there because she has no name recognition and nobody knows her because she is from DC.

    Dunno why there’s a name on there at all, but I guess that any publicity is good publicity.
    Maybe Scott Adams could run a Dilbert strip on this, and then The Union could censor it. Of course, ‘Marginally Rational’ really isn’t pithy enough for a comic.
    Heaven protect us from those folks who are driven by a need to be prominent. The lure of the soapbox is just too great for some.

    Some people crave power and those are the people we should never elect. Marginally rational demands obedience from staff and citizen. She is unqualified. Period.

    I just wish that some boring old competent person, of any gender, who sticks to the law, would run for the office. Perfect for a retired auditor with no sense of humor.

    re the ‘explanation’ from Adona: ““One of our temps designed it,” Adona said”
    Oh, there we go.
    Since a ‘temp’ designed it, Diaz and Adona HAD to run it as is. They were powerless.
    Adona is a trained swamp snake.

    You know that musk cartoon about the lefts running further to the left over recent years helps explain why Maher sounds so reasonable now –
    Maher said, “A lot of people are saying this is a loser issue, I’ll give you some brief numbers here why that is. 13% of Americans have college debt, federal college debt. So, that’s not a lot of people you’re working to. 65% don’t go to college at all. 50% of the college debt goes to people going to grad school…a lot of that is just bullshiting around. You don’t know what to do and you can keep going to school for free. So, it just looks like a loser issue for the party that is trying to win back the working class. That we’re going to subsidize — we who didn’t go to college and didn’t benefit from that are going to subsidize you to get your degree in gender studies and sports marketing and all the other bullshit that they take in college. I think it’s a loser issue for Biden.”
    He added, “Democrats have this idea that you’re a better person if you sit in class more and more and get more and more degrees. And really, the answer is to make — is not to make college cheaper, it’s to make it more unnecessary. Because most of it is bullshit anyway and it’s not necessary.”
    Maher further stated, “I think a lot of people…they’re resentful that…first of all, I’m going to pay now…for some kid to go to an indoctrination center where they’re indoctrinating kids into things I don’t even believe in, where the courses are all in racist spotting 101.
