[This reissues a call for anyone to point out only ONE THING that Biden has done to benefit America and/or Americans. Everything that Team Biden touches has turned into shit. As a sample of the latest Bidenomics offal, consider his new forest plan that will restrict logging on tens of millions of acres of national forests to fight climate change. Implementing this plan will increase CO2 emissions, eliminate thousands of jobs, increase the number of catastrophic wildfires, and increase the cost of all wood products from houses to kitchen implements (more here). That guy and the evil idiots who manage him are an ongoing disaster for the country. gjr]

It appears again that PaulE and other socialists have a hard time understanding that FDR’s policies maintained his inherited depression and deepened it to historic lows, requiring a world war and Truman’s subsequent rejection of returning to FDR’s abysmal legacy in 1946 for the country to embark on its historical growth cycle that lasted into the late 1960s.

The courts save us from another wokester homage to the altar of global warming. Keep cooking with gas! The 9th circuit no less –
A federal appeals court rejected a petition Tuesday to rehear a case related to a natural gas ban proposed by the City of Berkeley, California, which the panel ruled was illegal last year.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ultimately denied Berkeley’s petition for rehearing en banc — a motion that received support from the Biden administration, Democratic-led states and environmentalists — after it failed to receive majority support from the court’s non-recused active judges. Berkeley filed the motion last year after the court in April that a Berkeley law banning natural gas pipes in new construction violated federal statute.

You really burned down the so called melinum coalition. THANKS! –
Liberal New York Magazine columnist Jonathan Chait feared younger minority voters are rejecting the Democratic Party after decades of the party rallying for their vote.
In his column, “Are Young People Actually Progressive?” Chait warned, “The mistaken assumptions of Democrats have put the party in peril.”
He cited recent polls showing former President Trump dominating over President Biden among younger voters, which flies in the face of widely held beliefs that these voters have “ironclad loyalty” to the Democratic Party.
A Fox News poll from December found Trump had a 13-point lead over Biden among voters under 30. Polls from the New York Times, USA Today and others also show Biden bleeding support from Black, Hispanic and young voters who voted for him in 2020.
Chait argued that these results show Democrats have made a strategic mistake in focusing on turning out young minority voters.
“The unthinkable has become, at least for the time being, undeniable,” he wrote. “The progressive movement made a giant bet on mobilizing young voters. That strategy, invested with buoyant hopes and vast sums of money, is now in ruins.”
Democrats mistakenly believed that race would be the “determinative factor” in future election outcomes. However, Black Democrats and Hispanics actually hold more moderate views on immigration, the environment, crime and abortion, than White liberals do, Chait argued.
Progressive activists and the media have misunderstood this, he said.
“The danger is not that young voters, massively demoralized by Biden, will merely sit on their hands in 2024. It’s that they will actually vote for Republicans,” Chait said. That even includes progressive voters upset about Biden’s support for Israel who’ve threatened to vote for Trump, he feared
“Democrats have gained college-educated White voters and lost nonwhite voters who lack college degrees. This shift has flipped the traditional assumptions about voter turnout upside-down,” the columnist claimed.
Democrats have proposed different theories on why minority voters are abandoning Biden in 2024. In November, Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas sparked outrage when she suggested that Black voters disgruntled by Biden were blinded by their feelings about the economy and didn’t understand how civics works.

At least we can be thankful that the big lie does not work anymore and everyone knows that if his lips are moving he is lying his ass off –
In a video first shared by the Associated Press, Biden was shuffling from Marine One to the White House when a reporter asked him what he planned to do about the “record number of migrants” crossing the border.
Biden then has the temerity to respond “We’ve got to do something. They ought to give me the money I need to protect the border.”
Now, at this point we’ve grown accustomed to Biden spouting lies, half-truths, and just plain gibberish anytime his handlers let him open his mouth, but this is a whopper even by his standards.
Biden doesn’t need money to “protect the border,” but to “pay for more lawyers to lie for the illegal migrants posing as asylum seekers. It’s to pay for more NGOs to continue the cartel’s human trafficking work around the country. It’s to pay for more ‘humanitarian’ aid at the border, and more money wasted on ‘root cause’ boondoggles. Anything but secure the border.”
“It doesn’t take more money to do that. Just the political will. He can close it tomorrow if he wants. He has enough new Biden voters now anyway,” she concluded.

He was originally on the FBI’s wanted list but then dropped off, but don’t expect anyone from the Fibbies to give you any sort of answer as to why that happened. Then after it got so embarrassing to the feds, they had to charge him with something but he got the white gloves treatment – nothing like folks that just milled around inside the building.
And now the judge wants us to feel sorry for the bastard that for 2 days encouraged the protesters to go into the building while he scurried off to his hotel room and hid.

Ever wonder what happened to the folks remaining loyal to the crown after the American Revolution over 200 years ago?
““Private paramilitary actors, such as the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, pose a serious threat to democracy and the rule of law,” Sen. Markey said in a statement. “We must create new prohibitions on their unauthorized activities that interfere with the exercise of people’s constitutional rights.”
I’m well aware of exactly who is a threat to all of our Constitutional Rights and the above named groups certainly aren’t part of it.
Notice the wording:
“…new prohibitions on their unauthorized activities…”
“Unauthorized”
The proles should get Markey’s permission to congregate and organize.
further:
“The legislation would prohibit publicly patrolling, drilling or engaging in harmful or deadly paramilitary activities, interfering with or interrupting government proceedings, interfering with someone else exercising their constitutional rights,…”
That would actually apply most commonly to left-wing mobs, but you know they are exempt.
This sort of legislation is a giant red flag warning us of the kind of govt our lefty friends have in mind for us.
