  1. The recovery was well underway when he took office and private bank accounts had more than a trillion dollars in additional cash built up during the pandemic. What Biden did was throw an unnecessary money party resulting in the inflation we are seeing today. The actual real wages of the American workers has declined by about four percent under the Biden administration. The average American is worse off today than when Biden took office, and the polls indicate that.
  2. I’m not on the Grand Jury nor am I the Special Prosecutor. We will just have to see how this plays out. The best case scenario for me would be to have Trump go to jail and then any Republican nominee would wipe the floor with Biden. Next best would be for Biden to win and the Ds to loose the Senate, reducing the harm a second term would inflict on our country.
  3. There is no need to negotiate anything with China. They have deep systemic problems, none of which are in their control. “four structural factors holding back growth: demand, debt, demographics and decoupling. In the case of demand, the authoritarian Chinese government has been reluctant to support consumer spending, fearing a consumer with increased economic power could demand more freedoms. Household consumption remains only 40 per cent of GDP, well below the global average and income growth has slowed. The frenzied debt-fueled expansion of real estate and infrastructure that has driven China’s economic miracle was predicated on continued urbanization and an ongoing influx of foreign corporations moving in housing demand is in ‘perpetual decline’ and notes that corporations are no longer opening Chinese headquarters. The end result is an ongoing buildup of debt relative to falling asset values. China’s demographic situation features a sharp drop in new family formation rates, an aging population and a record low fertility rate. Each trend presents a hurdle to consumption and overall economic growth. anecdotal evidence of China’s decoupling from the global economy is the near-impossible task of finding a direct flight between New York and Beijing or Shanghai. She views the trend as less about global manufacturers deserting the country and more about geographic diversification for manufacturers. The end result is a significant decline in foreign investment in China.“ China needs us much more than we need them.
  4. It wasn’t me who thought Biden misspoke, it was his Secretary of State. Did you see the video?
  5. No it’s because he used it as a tool to get people to feel sorry for him (mission accomplished) There was no need to be sworn in next to his child, it was bald faced political theater.
  6. https://www.businessinsider.com/californians-moved-texas-property-tax-gave-sticker-shock-2023-11 “In 2021, nearly 108,000 people migrated from California to Texas, according to an analysis of the most recent Census data.” And even more are going to Florida. #doom loop
  7. It’s the same Joe Biden who used his injured child lying in a hospital bed as a prop in a political photo op, not to mention he is a pathological liar on everything from how he met his current wife to his education to how he stood down Corn Pop. His happy-go-lucky persona is just an act that hides a much darker individual* * just like Trump
  8. Well the second Grand Jury was just recently impaneled and both investigations are still ongoing so you have no idea what evidence they have uncovered or not.
  9. That but also… “I hope you all can do what I did and pay for everything for this entire family Fro (sic) 30 years. It's really hard. But don't worry unlike Pop I won't make you give me half your salary," Hunter wrote. According to The New York Post, who reported on the texts last year, "Pop" is Biden”
  10. And then he does this https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwj5gNOTqsuCAxWyhIkEHZH-AIgQwqsBegQICRAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnn.com%2Fvideos%2Fpolitics%2F2023%2F11%2F16%2Fblinken-reaction-biden-xi-dictator-vpx.cnn&usg=AOvVaw0NwGvtOEGaFGjAukuKireP&opi=89978449
  11. According to statements made by Hunter, Joe gets a cut of Hunter’s take. We will just have to let the ever expanding investigation continue to play out.
  12. When the whole Hunter laptop thing started, we were told it was a Russian disinformation campaign, then it was “OK it’s his but there is no there, there.” Then it was “well it’s just a misunderstanding on a firearm purchase”. Now we have two Grand Jurys impaneled, Joe’s brother is involved and the case has expanded to include tax evasion and possible money laundering. It is looking less and less like a nothing burger. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/special-counsel-la-based-grand-jury-probe-hunter/story?id=104959343
  13. I’ll take a 68 year old over… “Russian troops are returned to the front lines in Ukraine with shrapnel still stuck in their bodies, Golikov said.” You seem to be keenly aware of Ukrainian casualties yet oblivious to Russia’s. Russia’s ranks are fill with convicts and wounded driving around on 70 year old tanks, hardly a recipe for success.
  14. That is because Ukraine declared a full mobilization of men from 18-60. Obviously when that I’d done the average age of the fighters will increase greatly. BTW the average age of SEAL Team 6 is thirty
  15. https://www.cnn.com/videos/justice/2023/11/16/the-lead-hunter-biden-special-counsel-jake-tapper-live.cnn It now looks like Joe’s brother is involved with the shenanigans.
  16. Says some random dude on YouTube? I cited the Russian MoD. When they say their position in Kherson is untenable and requires a redeployment of forces to the northeast (aka retreat) I believe them.
  17. Uh, during the Spring offensive the Ukrainians captured so much Russian hardware and ammunition that Russia became the largest weapons supplier to Ukraine. I agree the Summer offensive was largely a bust but the Fall offensive has Ukrainian forces crossing the left (east) bank of the Dnipro and pushing deeper into Kherson where the Russians have not developed their defensive fortifications to the extent they have elsewhere. (They depended on the river as a natural defense line, thinking the Ukrainians would be unable to cross) With the arrival of the Army Tactical Missile System Russia has been forced to withdraw its rotary wing aviation support beyond the range of the ATACMS, rendering them largely ineffective as well as having large numbers of their infantry decimated. https://www.newsweek.com/russian-troops-atacms-bombs-ukraine-war-1843583 HIMARS and counter battery radar has decimated Russian artillery and their mechanized forces are riding around on 70 year old T55s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-54/T-55 I’m not declaring a winner I’m just pointing out that two out of three successes doesn’t equal total failure. edit: this just in “The Russian Ministry of Defense was quoted by Russian state-run news agencies Tass and RIA Novosti on Monday as saying that the command of the Dnipro Group of Forces decided to transfer troops to more advantageous positions east of the Russian-occupied left bank of the Kherson Oblast.”
  18. Those crazy Alt-right Democrats https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/05/politics/biden-border-wall/index.html
  19. https://www.washingtonpost.com/transportation/2023/08/12/proterra-bankruptcy-electric-buses/ Even with billions in subsidies
  20. Not to mention the air defense assets the Ukrainians have now which they lacked last year and the Russians are very unlikely to deplete their inventories to zero
  21. And that will work about as well as it did last time
  22. Shell’s finance chief said on Thursday the firm had exited a power purchase agreement (PPA) for the planned SouthCoast windfarm off the coast of Massachusetts, agreeing to pay a penalty rather than face rising costs for building the project. Energy firms from BP (BP.L) to Orsted (ORSTED.CO) have announced hefty writedowns in recent days for their U.S. windfarm projects in the face of high inflation. https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/shell-exits-us-southcoast-wind-farm-contract-agrees-pay-penalty-2023-11-02/ They are falling like dominoes
  23. Holy smokes, you are just a kid! I thought you were a typical deranged lefty. Now I feel bad for giving you the business. All kidding aside I am truly sorry, and I will no longer engage with you on this forum
  24. You are the one who posted a picture you took from a bus
  25. Olof has already disclosed he takes public transportation
