[A continuing miss to Fox and other conservative outlets for not bringing up and highlighting daily ‘the border is secure’ lies of the anti-American Biden administration and presidency.  No president in our history has purposely or otherwise done so much damage to our republic as has this functional idiot in the White House.  gjr]

    Why is that Gregory? You are saying that you would rather have Walker-a brilliant football player with no political experiance. What are his other accomplishments and education? Warnock is a minister with a PHD. He worked his way up from extreme poverty on his own.
    Hee’s a summary of his evolution;
    Warnock was born in Savannah, Georgia, on July 23, 1969.[15] He grew up in public housing as the eleventh of twelve children born to Verlene and Jonathan Warnock, both Pentecostal pastors.[16][17] His father served in the U.S. Army during World War II, where he learned automobile mechanics and welding, and subsequently opened a small car restoration business where he restored junked cars for resale.[18] His mother picked cotton and tobacco in the summers in Waycross, Georgia, as a teenager and became a pastor.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raphael_Warnock
    Warnock graduated from Sol C. Johnson High School in 1987,[20] and having wanted to follow in the footsteps of Martin Luther King Jr., attended Morehouse College, from which he graduated cum laude in 1991 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology.[21][22] He credits his participation in the Upward Bound program for making him college-ready, as he was able to enroll in early college courses through Savannah State University.[20][22] He then earned Master of Divinity, Master of Philosophy, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees from Union Theological Seminary, a school affiliated with Columbia University.

    “with no political experiance.”
    When Warnock had no previous political experience it was good – because Paul liked his politics. When Walker has no previous political experience, it’s bad because Paul doesn’t like his politics.
    Nice to see that Paul has solid values.
    What a maroon.

    Does Warnock have any history of wife beating like Walker does?
    Also how would you expect Walker to vote and why would you prefer that?
    And can you share your examples of Critical Theory? Just a glance at the topic shows that there are many different ideas expressed in it that are contradictory.
    Either way Walker was one of Trumps big losers and we won’t be seeing him again except in football reruns. Another example of Trump the ;oser in action. I mean Trump wqouldn’t even support him with cash when he needed it.

    STUDY: Young adults in Chicago and Philadelphia now at higher risk of death from gun violence than US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan in battle
    Military-aged men living in “Chicago’s most dangerous zip code faced a risk of firearm-related death over 3x the risk of combat death in Afghanistan, and nearly 4x the risks of Iraq.”
    Across all the cities we studied, we found young Black and Hispanic men overwhelmingly bore these warlike risks of firearm death and injury,” del Pozo added. “They were 96% of the victims. In the worst area of Chicago, they faced an annual shooting risk of nearly 6%.”
    The researcher also cautioned that “If high overall murder rates suggest cities where young men may face death risks greater than war, then Baltimore, Detroit, New Orleans, St Louis, Milwaukee, Kansas City, Memphis, Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Newark may compare to Chicago and Philadelphia.”

    LOOSE ENDS (199)
    • Always hard to keep up with the shifting standards of the left. To wit:
    The left: Churchill is a racist, imperialist, colonialist warmonger who must be cancelled!
    Also the left (last week): Volodymyr Zelenskyy is the Churchill of our time, who must be celebrated!
    I’m confused.

    Creepy grampa joe gave everyone coal for Christmas –
    When Americans were receiving stimulus checks from the government during the early days of the pandemic, they were able to save quite a bit of money.
    But things have changed.
    According to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, the personal savings of Americans sits at $520 billion as of November 2022, marking a substantial drop from the $4.85 trillion in 2020.
    Savings are now below even pre-pandemic levels and with the national stockpile shrinking by $100 billion since October.
    Here’s the blunt reality: Persistent inflation continues to deplete savings. And it doesn’t help that economic growth has been sluggish while companies announce major layoffs. Living paycheck to paycheck has become the norm.

    As we approach the happy New Year with our economy “strong as hell” (according to a senile lying perv as he slurps ice cream) an issue somewhat more important than our pronouns is coming into sharp focus.
    The taxpayers have already been hit with a $36 billion handout to some private union pensions while the incompetent people that caused the shortfall are allowed to keep their positions.
    Chicago and probably Illinois will be lining up next for more printed dough from Uncle Sugar.
    https://finance.yahoo.com/news/chicago-shaky-pension-funds-face-120000955.html
    “Funds face new hit…”
    I had never thought of reality as a “hit”. Reality is always just there.
    Maybe it’s the prospect of having to face reality that feels like a hit to those lefties in la la land.
    In other cheery news – it seems allowing in millions of illegal indigents didn’t fix the SS issues:

    The federal Ponzi scheme seems to be having a hard time dealing with this Strong-As-Hell economy. Remember all the money you contributed? It was wisely invested, right?
    I know! Let’s play “kick the can down the road” some more with printed money!

    My take is that any pretense of controlling federal spending, by either party’s leadership, has been completely stripped. It becomes a race for everyone to get what they can while they can. COVID and the DC establishments need to go to war with China and Russia is just the latest nudge.
    …and, of course importing millions of people from the Third World doesn’t give you a balanced budget for SS or public health systems, no more than they would supply multiple generations of pliant farm workers, but that was never the point. Xenophilia by one group and an understandable tribal need to improve one’s (and grandma’s) lot by another is all you really needed.
    There’s no point in getting angry, just extend the trend outward in your mind and act accordingly.
    None of these countries last forever and their collapse makes for great TV.

None of this says that Trump won’t run as a splinter party candidate. For a prayer that he won’t, we should all light a candle.”

    It is interesting to note that Trump banned the government use of Tik Tok and We Chat. This was after all safeguards, agreements, and protocols were summarily violated by the CCP. It is also interesting to note that of the hundreds upon hundreds of Executive Orders Biden signed in his first few days (stating that he does not even know what he is signing), President Biden reinstated the use of TikTok.

    https://www.npr.org/2020/08/06/900019185/trump-signs-executive-order-that-will-effectively-ban-use-of-tiktok-in-the-u-s
    Now, through an Act of Congress in the Omnibus Bill, Tik Tok is banned again from federal government use. I am sure that Tik Tok is more than queer teachers coaching each other on grooming our children and teaching 5 year old kids about using dildos and sucking cock, but for Tik-Tok to be banned on government devices tells me it is a National Security threat.
