[Has any reader witnessed an administration that in two years has managed to be so incompetent, corrupt, and spewing so many material lies per day?  Every commentator of conservative and libertarian persuasion has now written several articles listing in detail the Biden administrations atrocious handling of the economy, energy, crime, border, public education, drugs, foreign policy, … .  Can anyone mention ONE THING that they have gotten right?  And to cover it all up before 8 November, they and their lamestream are telling their dumber-than-doorknob constituents that everything is just hunky-dory, the country has never been better.  And to put a ribbon on it, half of America believes that horseshit.  gjr]

    “Hundreds of publishing staffers have signed an open letter calling on Penguin Random House to axe Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s $2 million book deal because she voted to overturn Roe v. Wade.”
    Ah, the tolerant left.
    Gee – how can you ban a book if it doesn’t get published?
    Can you even start to imagine if a conservative suggested not allowing the publication of a book by the Notorious RBG?

    I’ve not yet found any believable information about the Mad Hammerer of Berkeley. Is he a citizen of Canada or of the USA? If Canada, is he here legally or illegally?
    I read one claim he was a Green Party person (sorry to Paulo and Ben).

    Administrivia – Typepad has been down for the last two plus days doing what they claim is ‘maintenance’. It looks like they had a major hiccup in their systems software, and are now going through a learn-while-you-earn discovery procedure. I just hope that their software is one that is still commercially marketed and maintained by a profit-making company. I’m not impressed with their in-house software mavens.

    The cursed 503 error has been banished for now.
    The P Pelosi saga continues it’s morphing of facts and rumors. The police said someone opened the door but now it’s not clear who or how the door was opened. The facts will be as blurred as they were when Paul had a little trouble navigating his car one night.

    From the Daily Caller: (my guess is this is fake news without another backup)
    “The suspect who attacked Paul Pelosi on Friday with a hammer is allegedly in the U.S. illegally, according to Fox News”. (That would be about a 20-year overstay on a visa).

    If they were struggling over a hammer & the perp struck Pelosi AFTER the cops came in and saw them, why would the police not have just shot him? (The perp, not Paul). Seems that’s what a LEO who wants to keep Pelosi alive would do.

    No way to tell if this is real, but it mirrors so many actual incidences I have come across in my life:
    “During the lockdown, I went on a shopping spree on eBay EBAY, -1.19% and Amazon AMZN, -0.94%, and I have a closet full of shoes and sports jackets that I don’t like and have little opportunity to wear. That brings me to Halloween. I just can’t do it. I have not been invited to any parties, and the prospect of opening my door to a bunch of happy kids screaming “trick or treat!” does not fill me with the spirit of the holiday season.
    I can’t afford to buy candy for the neighborhood kids. It would be another $100 gone! I’m considering instituting a “black out” for Halloween night.”

    I mean his stupidity.
    Printed money blown on useless crap.
    It’s the story of our country.
    Now we have to pay.
    We have to (as a nation) go into poverty to pay the bill for a humongous pile of useless crap we thought we needed. And the Dems are buying more of this useless crap. Instead of developing energy sources, Biden handed out billions of tax dollars to develop “battery technology”. Which we will then give to the CCP. And they will sell back to us.
    What will charge this new battery tech?

    Well thats refreshing, cue the banshees of the left to start their cancel calls –
    The board wrote that Fetterman’s “life experience and maturity” were also concerns because he “lived off his family’s money for much of his life,” and had “little experience in holding real jobs or facing the problems of working people.”
    It also cited Fetterman’s lack of apology over in an incident in which he pulled a shotgun on an unarmed Black jogger after hearing gunshots, and his flip-flop on supporting fracking.
    “We believe Mr. Oz is the better bet for Pennsylvania,” the board wrote, before writing that Fetterman’s health stemming from the stroke he suffered earlier this year was not an issue for them.
    “His lack of transparency, however, in refusing to release his medical records is troubling. It suggests an impulse to conceal and a mistrust of the people. All candidates for a major elected office should release their medical records, as did Mr. Oz. If you want privacy, don’t run for public office,” it added.

    Here’s the deal, Paul – While we don’t consider Trump to be “full” of BS, we acknowledge that he blows his mouth off needlessly and makes statements that are usually of little or no consequence that are often a bunch of BS.
    He was running against one of the most corrupt and vile candidates the Dems ever fielded. He was the far better choice for POTUS. He did much good for our nation and ushered in a far better SCOTUS than we have had in decades. A second term for Trump would have vastly better for our nation and the world than the corrupt idiot you voted for, that’s for sure. The election was “stolen” by the news media, the social media, online search engines, the Dems in congress and various corrupt govt agencies. You will never believe the evidence right in front of you, so there is no point going ’round and ’round with you.
    I would suggest you open your eyes to the damage Biden and the Dems are causing our country.
