[The progressives’ inability to think logically, or even coherently, is on parade again across the nation.  ICE officers arresting illegal aliens may not wear face coverings to hide their personal identity (their official identity is visible from their uniforms, labeled jackets/vests, and badges) to prevent terrorists’ doxing their residences thereby threatening their families.  But it’s OK for leftwingers to support obvious criminals to wear identity-concealing face coverings as they riot, pillage, and burn while attacking law enforcement officers on the streets of America’s cities.  gjr]

    This looks like something the crack news man of kvmr would do –
    The headline in the tweet said, “U.S. Grocery Prices Reached Record Highs in 2025,” adding that “prices are higher today than they were on July 2024 all in major categories listed below.”
    The categories were cheese, alcohol, grocery, dairy, produce, and meat. But the graph showed prices rising in 2021 and leveling off toward the close of 2024 when the American people reelected Trump
    The Democrat Party embarrasses themselves daily, but this one was really epic.
    We all know grocery prices skyrocketed under Joe Biden. But that didn’t stop Democrats from posting a graph trying to blame that on President Trump.
    Only problem, the graph pinned Biden.
    “This was the first drop in consumer prices in nearly three years and only the second decline since inflation accelerated under Joe Biden to the worst rates in decades,” the outlet said.
    There was an increase in inflation during January while Biden was still in office, and a White House official told Breitbart News in February that Trump was “quickly undoing the lingering damage of” the previous administration’s economic policies that hurt Americans.

    Here’s some data you neglected to include in your 9:12 so you have to include this in your analysis of the WSJ poll you refer to.:
    “Despite the negative sentiment, 46 percent of voters say they would back a Democrat for Congress if an election were held today, compared to 43 percent who would support a Republican.”
    This means trouble for the repubs in the midterms. Historically the midterms flip the House anyway

    No – the grand Biden cover-up isn’t going away and neither is the whole Epstein deal. These are infected wounds that have been simply covered in lots of gauze and sticking plaster and explained away by the quack doctors of politics, govt agencies, and left-wing hacks in the news media. The patient suffers, and the pus is leaking out for the world to see. At least the ones willing to look.
    “Meanwhile, down in Florida, as reported by Brian O’Shea of The Daily Clout, it turns out that the federal district judge, Robin Rosenberg, who just ruled against Mr. Trump’s request to unseal the 2005 — 2007 Florida Epstein grand jury transcripts, is married to one Michael McCauliffe, former Palm Beach County State’s Attorney (equivalent of district attorney, DA), who helped negotiate the special 2008 “sweetheart” plea deal that allowed Epstein significant freedoms, such as frequent travel, including to his Little St. James Island, despite being under house arrest. Are you going, “Hmmmmmm. . . ? Any conflict of interest in that ruling? (Note: Current US AG Pam Bondi did not become Florida AG until 2011.)”
    Closing line:
    “Someone, maybe more than a few someones, will be going to jail.”
    Someone? Yeah – Ghislaine. That’s it. She’s the only one outside of Epstein that did anything wrong – right?

    This poetry was cast into Bronze in 1883,
    Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
    With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
    Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
    A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
    Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
    Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
    Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
    The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
    “Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
    With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
    Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
    The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
    Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
    I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

BTW, FYI to ‘immigrate’ means to come into a country; to ’emigrate’ means to leave a country – this used to be covered in grade school. Lady Liberty’s poem refers to immigrants entering the US.
