[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]

    re fish 12:11 – “Gavin Newsom halts $1 billion in homeless funding,…”
    I think this is mostly due to someone from the FTB hipping the governor’s office to the fact that tax receipts next spring are going to pucker both ends of Newsom’s body.
    Despite despite all the happy talk from the Dems, my financial crystal ball is showing a very cloudy picture in the coming months.

    The hill the Dems chose to die on: trannies and soft on crime.
    ‘Election 2022: Soft On Crime, Drag Queen-Loving Democrats Picked All The Wrong Issues This Time Around’
    “During a debate last week between candidates for governor in New York, incumbent Democrat Kathy Hochul was pushed by her Republican challenger, Rep. Lee Zeldin, about soaring crime.
    “I don’t know why that’s so important to you,” Hochul said dismissively.
    Bad answer. Very bad answer.
    Democrats have long taken the black vote for granted — promising everything, delivering nothing — but the 2022 midterm election is a very different animal. This time around, blacks are furious about skyrocketing crime to the point where some are abandoning the Democratic Party.
    Over eight in ten of black Democrats say violent crime is a “very important” issue in the 2022 election, according to a recent Pew survey of registered voters. That compares to just 33% of white Democrats. “Black Americans have consistently been more likely than other racial and ethnic groups to express concern about violent crime, and that remains the case this year,” the pollsters said.“….
    “A majority of Hispanic voters oppose drag queen performances for children and teachers promoting gender ideology in schools, according to a new WPA Intelligence-Visto Media poll obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller,” the news outlet reported.
    Opponents told the pollsters they find it “inappropriate” for teachers to push gender identity and sexual orientation with school children as young as 6, the polling data found. And 57% of Hispanics believe it’s also “inappropriate” to teach gender ideology to kids.
    “Sixty-one percent of Hispanics believe it’s inappropriate for ‘drag queens to perform in front of children under 10 years old,’” according to the poll. Just 24% believe that drag queen performances for children are appropriate,” the Caller reported.“
    “But along with abortion, the death of democracy, and lies about Republicans planning to strip away Social Security, those are the issues Democrats have decided to focus on in Campaign ’22.
    They’re about to find out that was a colossal mistake.“

    Election 2022:
    It’s getting out there. I want to make it clear that I am not as confident as my links portray about a red tsunami sweeping over the land. Too many squeakers and no matter what, I have a hard time believing that, say, New Yorkers statewide (including the Big Apple will put a Republican in the Empire State’s Governor’s Mansion. So, I have no predications. I have seen stranger things. Carter blew his steady 10- 14 point against Reagan in the last 3 days. Too many close races for comfort.
    Now, tea leafs time:
    With that said, generally and recent history of 2020 and 2016, the majority of those who are the earliest to mail in ballots are Dems and the ones who stand in line in sometimes bad weather are R’s who cast their ballots at the voting booth.
    Nevada 2020. Clark County (Vegas) had the Dems leading by 15 in early voting, Biden won by 2.2%(?).
    This year, 2022. Clark County has early voting Dems up by 8.5%.
    This trend is also true in other swing states. 2020 Georgia. Early voting in top three urban counties up 15% Dem in early voting.
    2022: Dems up 8.6% and the third largest metro area have early voting tied.
    Add Philly. 2020, D’s up 15% in early voting. 2022: Dems up 9% in Philly. Add other swing states or districts from Ore to Dade County, FL. Ohio? Yes.
    PS: huge factor is enthusiasm gap and R turnout. What to do if you are up by 2 and the opposing party is more fired up by 20%? I won’t predict 54 or 53 or 52 Republican Senators…..but it would be nice to hold what we got and add two. 2022 is a tough lineup for 2022 R senate candidates, but 2024 looks much more favorable for the Senate. Much more. 🙂
    Maybe Dr. Rebane will start a Senate pool. Over/under is 50….or not.
    I report, you decide.

    He stated, “It’s not Joe Biden’s bad luck that he happened to be an office when we have 13 percent inflation or gas at five or even six dollars a gallon in some states. The sense of decline most Americans have is, again, not an accident. It’s not unintentional. It’s decline by design.”
    “The progressive left — going back a hundred years — is at best ambivalent about America,” he said. “Many are openly critical or even hostile to America, but they’re all hostile to the sources of American power: a strong military; a strong, prosperous, growing economy; American energy production and independence; sovereign borders and freedom of action in the world; standing up for friends; standing up against adversaries like China.”
    He concluded, “Down through the ages, every time a progressive Democrat takes the White House, they’re pursuing policies that undermine the sources of American power, and it’s only gotten worse with Bill Clinton and especially Barack Obama — the most ideological man to be president since Wilson — and Barack Obama’s understudy, Joe Biden.”

    Wonder if we’ll ever get the full story.
    This, from NBC, not FOX or The Blaze, NBC:
    “NBC reported new details re: Pelosi attack:
    – Pelosi answered door, didn’t “declare an emergency or try to leave his home,” instead walked toward the assailant
    – Pelosi & DePape were in house for 30 minutes before police arrived
    Court documents obtained by NBC reveal that when police asked the assailant, David DePape, what was happening, he “calmly greeted them” and said “everything’s good.” DePape and Pelosi then began wrestling for control of a hammer, which DePape eventually used to strike Pelosi in the head, fracturing his skull.
    But then:
    Hours after the segment aired live on NBC, it was deleted from the Today Show website and an editor’s note was appended to the page.
    ““The piece should not have aired because it did not meet NBC News reporting standards,” the editor’s note reads.”
    The reporting standards for NBC are basically to report only what is allowed by the current govt in DC.
    Ya know – if you don’t like “conspiracy theories” (play the spooky music) ya might wanna just release the police body cam video.
    Unless the video maybe confirms the ‘theories’.
    What are the bets this story gets memory-holed the day after the mid-terms?

    Republicans aiming to win control of Congress on Tuesday say they plan to force President Joe Biden into a difficult choice on taxes: sign Republican legislation to make their 2017 tax cuts permanent or veto it and be branded as the president who put tax hikes on middle class Americans.
    Congressional Republicans’ tax strategies and a Democratic White House could ultimately mean a status quo on rates, deductions and credits for the next two years, tax professionals and analysts say.

    re Don 6:54 – Sounds swell from your point of view. How do you think the LSM will present it to the public?
    Not the way you have it. The R’s consistently fumble away the narrative to the Lefty press.
    I have serious doubts that the R’s will do little more than stop the Dems from additional harm to the country. They have rarely shown the spine to really upend the Dem’s steady march towards federalization of our country.
    The R’s will need to:
    Push the full weight of the congress towards getting rid of the fed govt passing regs based on AGW nonsense.
    Throw out the so-called Inflation Reduction Act.
    Rescind the additional money to the IRS.
    Cut the budget to the FBI to zero and call the leaders on the carpet and grill them for days in public.
    Eliminate several depts such as the Dept Of Education.
    Pass laws making it clear that if state governors want to shut down the economy of their state then the state can expect zero money from the feds to help out.
    They might say that Biden will veto these actions – fine – let him. At least everyone will see exactly who stands for what.
    Let Biden be the one to “shut down” the fed govt.
    Folks will quickly see how little they miss the tender mercies of the feds.

    “Paul Pelosi awoke twice in the early hours of Oct. 28. The first time he groggily discovered a hammer-wielding intruder in his bedroom asking for his wife, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The second time, he regained consciousness in a pool of his own blood, having suffered a fractured skull grappling with the assailant in front of police.”

    The reckoning for the wokesters is at hand even in NY. ROFLOL –
    A longtime New York City Council insider noted that some Democrats on the council who publicly support Hochul are privately voting for Zeldin. The city council insider told the Post:
    Many of [Adams’ people] are pulling for Lee Zeldin, because they agree with him on a number of issues. There’s even a few Council members who are Democrats and privately snicker that they will be voting for Zeldin — some of whom have endorsed Hochul. I would swear on a Bible on this.
    The Post’s report comes just one day after CNN reported that New York Democrat officials and strategists are bracing for deep losses in the state, including in the gubernatorial election.
    New York Democrats are reportedly concerned about crime and how the Republicans have positioned themselves as voters’ tough-on-crime alternative.
    As Breitbart News detailed:
    For example, an October poll found that 77 percent of Americans see violent crime as a significant problem in the country. In addition, a recent Pew Research Center poll found that black voters, who historically are a solid blue voting bloc, are concerned about violent crime more than other ethnic groups, with 81 percent of black Americans seeing it as a very important issue when considering who to vote for next week.
    When looking at who voters blame the ongoing crime wave on, an October Harvard/Harris poll found that 64 percent of voters say, “woke politicians” are responsible, with a majority of Democrat voters feeling that way too.
    New York Democrats passed a law in 2019 to eliminate cash bail; since then, auto theft, robberies, and rape have skyrocketed. Further, 211 people were arrested at least three times for burglary, and 899 people were arrested at least three times for shoplifting in the first half of 2022, according to New York Police Department numbers.
    Adams has been an outspoken critic of the state’s 2019 bail reform law and urged Hochul to call a special legislative session to address the law.
    Zeldin has openly acknowledged that Adams would be “an important ally in the efforts to overhaul cashless bail in New York.”

    Reuters) – This winter the U.S. Northeast faces its highest energy costs in more than 25 years due to tight heating oil supplies and fierce global competition for liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargoes.
    Throughout 2022, consumers have been socked with higher costs for everyday items, including groceries and gasoline. The winter could bring more pain, with heating costs nationwide set to soar as much as 28% from last year, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) winter fuels outlook.
    During long, cold winters, the U.S. Northeast consumes more oil and gas for heat than most of the country, especially the six-state New England region. Residents of Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhode Island paid about 36% more for gas and 58% more for power than the rest of the nation over the past five years, federal government data showed.
    Exacerbating those high energy costs, New England lacks enough gas pipeline capacity to meet all its heating and power generation needs on the coldest winter days.

    Not this year. As soon as I heard about the diesel shortage, I scheduled my delivery so that the propane trucks would still have diesel to bring me the gas. Imagine ordering a delivery of propane when you are out, the weather freezing, the power out and no diesel for the propane trucks…..or for school buses, our railway system, and the super markets. Best to order your Christmas Ham/Turkey/Roast early. :). Better than having the food rot on the docks, like grain rotting on the docks in the ole USSR. Distribution problems.

    From a New Yorker’s perspective on the David vs. Goliath gov’s race. “Something has to give — and it could be Kathy Hochul’s job.” Talk issues, darn it. Feel our pain and quit ignoring it. The long shot NY Gov’s race is a microcosm of the Dem’s message across the land: minimize their own destructive policies to zero, exaggerate witches’ brew conspiracy theories, and blame the fascists. Nothing to see here, move on NOW! “Paulie want a cracker….now!” said the one hundred pound parrot.
    ‘New York Red Wave is coming ashore’
    “To this day, she [Kathy Hochul] continues to flirt with the ridiculous idea that crime isn’t as bad as Zeldin says, which is tantamount to telling people that what they see isn’t true and their fears are groundless.
    She calls Republicans “manipulators” and talks of a “conspiracy” driving the issue. When a Buffalo mother was killed by a man who had earlier been arrested for beating her and then released, Hochul blamed “the system.” Even Friday, she was telling CNN her opponent is “being dishonest.”
    That’s her story and she’s sticking to it, and at this late date, we should take her at her word: she doesn’t believe crime is a serious problem in the city or the state.
    If she did, she has had endless opportunities to say so and do something about it. Instead, she acts as if she’s the victim of an unfair attack.
    Woe is her.”

    ‘The Pathetic Democratic Pantheon’ VDH
    Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Nancy Pelosi are of no use to the Left in the midterms because it is their radical ideology that was finally enacted and wrecked the country.
    “Over the last few months the four icons of the Democratic Party—Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Nancy Pelosi—have hit the campaign trail.
    They’ve weighed in on everything from “right-wing violence” and “election denialists” to the now tired “un-American” semi-fascist MAGA voter—and had nothing much to say about inflation, the border, crime, energy, or the Afghanistan debacle. In this, they remind us just how impoverished and calcified is this left-wing pantheon.
    So why should we take anything they say seriously, given their own records—and especially given their mastery of projecting their own shortcomings upon others as some sort of private exculpation or preemptive political strategy?”

    A swing and a miss.
    ‘NY Times Economist Paul Krugman Faceplants In Bid To Flee Musk’s Twitter’
    “Krugman was trying to set up a social media escape hatch, claiming “Musk’s apparently uncontrollable nastiness and childishness” would drive away his followers and collapse the platform. But the effort fell flat within 24 hours of testing Mastodon, with Krugman returning to Twitter only to gripe about his experience on Mastodon.
    “Update: so far things not going well on Mastodon,” Krugman said. “After the initial post, nothing I try to post is showing up….blah blah wambulance.”
