    Mastriano is done, Trumps choice for Gov of Penn. Another example of what Gregory and fishmouth consider Trumps superior intelligence.
    “Doug Mastriano, the Republican nominee for governor of Pennsylvania and a state senator, appeared in a faculty picture at the Army War College dressed in a Confederate soldier’s uniform, according to a copy of the photo obtained by Reuters.
    Reuters first obtained a copy of the photo from the War College, which is located in Carlisle, Pa., following a Freedom of Information Act request. The news outlet reported that the photo is of the 2013-2014 faculty in the Department of Military Strategy, Plans, and Operations, where Mastriano worked at that time.”

    Feel good story
    ‘Man Freaks Out Animal Rights Protesters By Eating Shish Kebab’
    “Freaking out a group of animal activist protesters, some of whom spilled fake blood on the sidewalk in front of the Nike, Dior and Louis Vuitton stores in Manhattan, a man walked over and calmly started eating his shish kebab in front of them.
    His presence while eating meat catalyzed some incendiary responses. As posted on Twitter by @ViralNewsNYC, the video showed people screaming in his face.”
    (…)
    “In March 2018, animal rights activists in Toronto conducting their fourth protest against a game-themed restaurant called Antler Kitchen and Bar got a response they didn’t expect: one of the co-owners of the restaurant, who was also a chef, brought out a deer leg to a table in the front window and started carving it in front of the protesters.
    One banner held by a protester read “Murder” in large, hot pink letters; another demonstrator held a sign that read “please add vegan steak to the menu.”
    The co-owner, Michael Hunter, who hunts moose and deer with a crossbow, not only carved the leg, but then sat down at the table and ate the meat in front of the protesters.

    The adults are in charge again…..

    Doocy: “Somebody unvaccinated comes over on a plane, you say that’s not okay. Somebody walks into Texas or Arizona unvaccinated, they’re allowed to stay?”
    Jean-Pierre: “That’s not how it works… It’s not like someone walks over.”
    Doocy: “That’s exactly what is happening!”
    I find it incredibly funny to see Jean-Pierre flail about the moment she goes off script and strays from her magic binder. Doocy is obviously correct that illegal immigration is driven by those who are quite literally simply walking across the border. Jean-Pierre, not having a prepared answer ready, walks into the obvious trap, asserting that’s not happening when that’s exactly what’s happening.
    It gets worse toward the end, though, when after being further pressed by Doocy, Jean-Pierre returns to her binder to read a pre-scripted response about what the administration has supposedly done on border security (which is basically nothing). But Doocy wasn’t even asking about border security. He was asking about the nonsensical COVID regulations that punish healthy, legal travelers like Djokovic while allowing masses of illegal immigrants that aren’t vaccinated to be released into the interior of the country. Jean-Pierre has no answer because there is no answer that could make that situation make sense.

    It’s not just the poor who are being clobbered by inflation. They were treading water before with no cushion, and now the po’ folks and underwater for silly things like food and electricity. Car insurance can wait.
    Retail stores in the news last month about the Walmarts (with its smelly R shoppers) and other stores that cater to those on very tight budgets saw sells dip. The up the ladder a bit to the Targets and Kohls as they are seeing a drastic cut back on sales. Now, Macys and higher end retail stores are predicting retail sales to be chopped in half.

    That’s the result of Trumps trashing the economy before he left office. It will take years to recover. Look how long it took Obama to recover from the total disaster of the economy that Bush left. Bush inherited a very stable economy from Clinton just like the one Trump inherited from Obama. Both left a wreck for Obama and Biden to inherit. This much is history and there’s no way to deny it.

    The divides do not run that deep along demographic lines. The most recent poll from the Economist and YouGov found that 58 percent of Americans say we are in a recession today. Men are slightly more likely than women to say we’re in a recession, at 59 percent to 57 percent. A 51 percent majority of blacks say we’re in a recession, with 27 percent saying we’re not and 22 percent saying they are not sure. Among Hispanics, 53 percent say we’re in a recession, 22 percent say we are not, and 25 percent say they are not sure.

    Just stating the fact that the economies were trashed under Bush and Trump. The reasons are an entirely different question. Same with the Great Depression. Hoover handed Roosevelt a total depression and it took the Dems years to pull us out of it. Three strikes you’re out and that applies to the mess that the Republicans left for Roosevelt, Obama and Biden. Republicans cannot be trusted with the economy. History proves it.

    Then I challenged him more than once to provide proof of what Trump did to trash the economy and he can’t do it.
    So he resorts to a crass lie where he tries to change the statement to something different.

    Psul, the economy was not trashed when Trump left office. Inflation was 1.7%-1.9%. Macy’s was not predicting a collapsing economy because of Trump, for sure. What the end customer retailers are saying that they see a hard fall a’coming because by President Biden’s second full year of having his hand at the helm of the economy the energy sector, transportation, baby formula, and foreign policy….well, the future looks glum for them.
    From Target to Bloomingdale’s, they were mostly unscathed during the small company job killing lockdowns during the Corona Virus. Looking ahead under this current administration and its new policies, Macys and others that were making money in that retail sweet spot are about to not only feel the first pinches of the wringet, they are going to feel the deep freeze as well.
    “Reasons are a different question” sounds familiar. Like what they said about Russia Gate, Raiding Trump’s home, and everything in between. Get Trump first, , reasons are a different matter. Next question please.

    Don 7:32 – The Dems are desperately hoping to run out the clock by throwing money at the voters and having the LS news media run interference. They are trying to claim there is no recession at the same time they claim maybe there is a recession but it’s the Fed’s fault or Russia or Wall Street.
    The stock market is sinking and the consumers are cutting back and running up their credit cards.
    The Dems wanted expensive energy (going back to Obama who bragged it was their goal) and we’re getting it.
    Apparently it’s beyond the comprehension of a sizable majority that EVERYTHING happens because of the use of energy. Drive up the cost of that and you have rising costs of everything. Even as demand dips, the costs rise.
    Stagflation.
    We went through this in the 70s but I guess few want to learn anything.

Rather, it is driven by the many billions of dollars we are spending on wind turbines, solar panels, transmission lines and backup natural gas generation. These massive investments have done nothing to increase our already-adequate power generating capacity. Rather, they represent a dead loss that is reflected in skyrocketing electricity prices.”
