Joey Pissing In The Wind

Thanks to Fox comes this article on Bidenflation and Bidenomics.

Liz Peek writes:

“Biden loses control of inflation, and the trust of American people — Americans have lost faith in government, leading to The Great Distrust”

I call it The Great Distrust. Simply stated, Americans have lost their confidence in our leaders, our institutions (think FBI, Congress, public education, CDC etc.) and, most especially, our president. We are trying to keep our balance on an ever-shakier foundation, trying to move forward as the pillars of our country are eaten away by a rising tide of political discord and dishonesty.

At the heart of that corrosion: President Joe Biden

Consider Biden’s recent speech at the Port of Los Angeles, where he addressed inflation which he alternately called his “top economic priority” and “Putin’s tax on both food and gas.”

1. “Millions of Americans are moving up to better jobs and better pay.” Actually, real wages tumbled 3% over the past year.

2. “And since I took office, families are carrying less debt on average in America. They have more savings than they’ve had.” Reality: debt is rising and personal savings are falling.

3. “What economists call ‘core inflation’ — moderated the last two months.” Reality: core inflation of 0.6% in June remained at the highest level recorded over the past six months.

“First up, is not admitting that spending $1.9 trillion from the Democrat-only American Rescue Plan ignited inflation.

[*Then telling us he will now decrease the budget deficit by 1.7 trillion. ]

When Biden signed that bill, spewing hundreds of billions of dollars to Americans sitting on $2.5 trillion in excess savings, the country was growing at 6% and recovering rapidly from the COVID-19-induced downturn. Biden claims the economy was on the brink of recession when he took office and required the lavish handouts; that is not true.”

Welcome to Biden’s Amerika. Lying is the specialty.

Change The Tune, Then Play It Again

Hello, beloved patriots:

As the drama of another unpopular year is coming to a close, the lying Left appears to be getting a few messages. Or their ability to deny the truth bombs going off in every part of the country has reached its cosmic limits. Whichever. We are finally confronting the Left’s perception failures.

Start with Democrats abolish/defund police plank. In the last week, notable Democrats have made stunning reversal statements trying to support law and order. They tipped their hat to the crime rates, after denying them for months, suggesting we now need to re-fund and recruit police. Come on, man.

But you can hardly believe Democrats pushing anti-crime rhetoric when they have done everything possible to cause the crime wave. They must be reading the polls. 2022 is an election year, so they think they can swing around to talk about cracking down on crime.

No way, Jose, will that ever sell.

 

Biden makes a stunning statement that “there is no federal government solution to Covid.” Yet that was exactly what he ran on and promised: a federal government anti-state solution. He said he was going to “shutdown the virus.” Just as he told us he was not against fracking or gas. Then he canceled Keystone.

Well, Lying Biden seems to have had an epiphany. He managed to shutdown other things like learning in schools and pipelines in the Mid-West, but he now admits he is a helpless failure at shutting down the virus from hell, which keeps reinventing itself through new variants faster than Joe’s handlers can reload his teleprompter.

We get these occasional words of admission splashed in with the lies to make it appear Democrats are now pivoting their evil ways. No they aren’t. It is ear candy to make it seem like they are seeing the light and reversing themselves. Evidently, polls have consequences. The idea they are capable of reversing themselves is a fairytale.

 

Once again, we are going back to the land of Alice In Wonderland, where Democrats are eating on the wrong side of the mushroom. It’s Howdy Doody Time all over again. We are supposed to suspend belief to once again accept the left’s narrative on our current state of reality. Yet they are busy trying to murder reality with every breath they take.

They are at war with reality.

Even when the Left appears to be coming around to admit the truth, you cannot believe a word they say. And their motives are as corrupted as their evil plans. They haven’t given up on their failed plans, only tying to further disguise them.

 

Now Blomberg News is suggesting our greatest export to the rest of the world might be wokeism. Get that? Sure. the rest of the world should be dying to do to their countries what we are doing to ours, destroying it. Can they be serious?

After wokeism finally seems to be exposed for what it is and proven to be a Marxist tool, America is coming to a verdict to reject it. Even some of the Left’s staunchest mouthpieces have condemned the fallacies of the movement. No, that doesn’t mean it is going the way of the dinosaurs, it means they are tipping their hat to the idea that maybe it doesn’t do what or all they expected it to do. But one failed idea inevitably only leads to another rotten idea on the Left side of the tracks.

 

But they certainly can make public gestures and statements that they finally appear to understand the mistakes they made. Then again, they were not mistakes when they rolled it out because they new the damage it would cause. Now we are supposed to think they were only misguided? They were the ones committing the deception, not victims of it.

Just as we are to think that Biden is now shifting gears to get on the right side of things by admitting the state’s rights are sacrosanct in dealing with a virus? It doesn’t mean Dems changed their minds on any of these positions, like they have not abandoned Marxism. They want you to think they are pivoting.

How many times do you have to watch the same movie thinking you are going to see a different ending? Fool me once, twice, three times. Enough.

I can offer my opinion what this is all about. Leftists are witnessing the success of what conservatives have been saying for years. It is hard to hide the truth staring at us. So now they are trying to adopt some of the positions conservatives have been banging away at.

For instance, the failure of shutting down schools and remote learning. Listen to them acknowledge the policy is wrong now when they stood behind it promoting it. Now they are against shutting down schools? Really? Randi Weingarten has said her objective is only to keep schools open. Really?

Come on, man!

What’s next, will Democrats and the progressively Marxist Left now tell us they still support fossil fuels as an energy source? Will they admit we have to have a steady, reliable form of energy? Will they admit wokeism is wrecking our military? Will they admit their exuberant spend-a-thon is going to cause even more inflation and problems?

Will they admit Hillary hatched the Russia hoax against Trump and, with the help of Obama – Biden, then wove it into a coup on a sitting president? Will they admit it was all fantasy except for the cabal of treason, sedition and cover up they incorporated?

Will they admit the existence of inflation and the damage it is now causing? Will they admit that America is not a bad or evil country? Will they admit that the border needs to be closed and we cannot allow endless numbers of migrants to stream across the border? Will they admit their policy is causing illegal immigration? Will they admit crime is a problem not a solution? Will they admit they are causing crime?

 

But the people know the truth about all that and more. It is only the Left that is saturated in a phony reality, then they continue lying to explain and dismiss it as fast as the very real consequences show up. The verdict has been in on this entire agenda.

The people know the truth. In poll after poll, these ideas only get more unpopular in time. That’s why they were scrambling to push through another 5 trillion-dollar spending plan, before the truth of popular rejection was revealed. But Virginia happened, NJ happened.

 

And isn’t it odd that these fossilized Washington progressives are pushing policies or plans that will harm this country long after they are gone from earth? That is not lost on us. They want the plans to be in force way past their own expiration dates.

Biden Should Listen To The Voices?

There is hardly any danger greater in this country, to this country, than the mindset of the Left. (Include liberals because they all merge)

To make the case, I saw the perfect demonstration bringing it all together. Tuesday, The Five on Fox were talking about Biden’s low poll numbers.

Right on cue with talking points, Richard Fowler, consummate gloating leftist, chimed in to defend Biden. He said those people who did not support Biden in the election will never support or vote for Biden again.

So then Biden should not talk to them. Joe should only pay attention to the people who got him elected. He needs to listen to the base, and ignore other people who do not support him. (just to paraphrase it)

All right, except listen to what his base says and what they want. So let’s test drive this assertion all the way out.

Joe Biden should listen to his base, and what they want him to do:

• Open the border to limitless immigration.
• Abolish ICE
• End fossil fuel energy
• Defund and eliminate police
• Raise taxes on everyone.
• End bail and arrest of criminals
• Stop drilling for oil and gas
• Shut down and remove pipelines
• Pay illegals welfare for coming here.
• Federalize elections.
• Push radical sexual agendas in schools.
• Government funded abortion.Provide late-term abortion up to DOB
• Push critical race theory in schools against parents’ will. (label parents terrorists)
• They want Biden to use executive action for a 5 trillion dollar socialist bill, or on anything else they want. Ignore separation of powers.
• Re-imagine the Federal Reserve. (politicize it into a Marxist tool.)
• They want to pack the Supreme Court.
• They want to cancel 1.5 trillion in student debt.
• They want to empty prisons.
• They want to gut the 1^st and 2^nd Amendments.
• They want to protect criminals over victims.
• Rewrite due process.
• Abolish the filibuster.
• Politicize Justice Dept. to attack, monitor and track political opponents.
• Use executive action to force social media to control their political enemies, and enforce their political agenda.
• They want him to cut the military budget.
• They want to enact full socialized medicine.
• They want to abolish state election rights and powers
• Codify the pandemic/emergency voting processes.
• Abolish the electoral college.
• Create amnesty for over 35 million illegal immigrants.

.And that is a quick priority list with more radicalization in the pipeline to come, always more. (not to mention their radical foreign policies)

Listen to and act on that. This is what the President should only listen to. And naturally he must ignore protests or any voices against their radical agenda. Canceling out student debt is at the top of their demands.

How’s all that sound for Joe’s listening room? A little polarizing and divisive?

Biden’s America, Crazy As That Sounds

Welcome to Biden’s America. But upfront I have one simple question, when did hating America become cool? Another question is why?

We do know it is underway at some speed and the radical hate-America base is at the center of it. Biden’s America is in full bloom.

There is an open border invasion underway, economic factors including budgets and deficits are being broken far beyond anything we experienced. (we can’t even nail down a basic definition of infrastructure.)

Crime is rampant up by triple digits in many areas. Thousands of wealthy people had their private tax info exposed; war was declared against schools, energy, rights, history and culture. It is not a pretty picture.

The war on energy was kicked off the first day shutting down Keystone XL pipeline but it did not stop there. Now multiple secondary pipelines are in team Biden’s cross hairs, from N Dakota to Minnesota, to Wyoming. So pipelines are apparently like Lays potato chips, you can’t shut down just one. And shutdowns are becoming the norm.

Along with those leaked tax returns, Biden is adding 80 billion to IRS budget to hire and deploy 80,000 new agents to descend on the public. Lois Lerner eat your heart out! We can only guess at what that abuse and results will look like – or where they’ll end.

 

Corporations — in other words the private sector — are being commandeered, employed and weaponized by government against the public. These are the same people who detest the Citizens United decision, ironically. They fiercely want that decision overturned, along with Heller. Nevertheless, they are recruiting businesses to tow the radical left’s line by fear or jeer to do their political bidding.

Or, as Hitler said, he was not against people owning private property, just so they understand they are an agent of the state.

Meanwhile, the budget and debt crisis they are constructing will balloon the national debt to over 44 trillion dollars. For reference, before the pandemic hit the debt was at 17 trillion dollars. Biden’s debt spree is 8 times what Trump spent.

Biden will also attack any part of the economy which relies on fossil fuels. How can you grow and economy under that pressure? Oh, you can’t. Revealed in his budget analysis, they forecast about 1.9% growth for years out, which is stagnant. Those are optimistic projections. But if they call all their spending investment, then look at the return.

Next up they have gun rights and the second amendment in their cross hairs, too. A global corporate tax is in the works along with massive capital gains and tax hikes, which also will affect the poor and middle class. Inflation is about to make Jimmy Carter look good. And the military is being turned inside out to purge patriots.

 

The HR1 and S1 bills are drastically changing the entire political and electoral system. Dems feign complaints over state legislation to preserve the integrity of elections.

Yet we are less than 6 months into this radical anti-America agenda.

But let’s review: we never got answers or to the bottom of Hillary’s emails, Benghazi, the IRS targeting scandal, or the multifaceted 4-year coup against Trump. Flush and repeat.

Right Ring | Bullright | © 2021

How’s That Working Out For You?

The Washington dreams and Socialist schemes, as Sen Time Scott called them, are very alive and not a figment of imagination. They are rolling out across America aimed at us. Joe is the active face of both, Joe Biden is their comrade-in-chief.

Is this what people voted for? Hardly, unless they were part of the radical destroy America commie-Left behind the campaign curtain. It is a war on America at every level: energy, economic, education, border security, a war against history itself, all accompanied by unprecedented violence and crime that follows.

And Biden is inciting a retro-revolution among blacks. Why not? Dems are the party of racism and have been since last century. They will do anything to hide that record, while cooking up a sequel.

Who does he think was burning all those crosses 70  years ago? They were Joey’s buddies.

“While support from black voters was crucial to President Joe Biden’s election, most voters – including most black voters – don’t believe the new president has improved race relations or made life better for young black people.”

“… survey finds that only 28% of Likely U.S. Voters believe race relations in the United States have gotten better since Biden’s election.” – Rasmussen

Obama now declares Joe Biden is Obama part II, here to finish what Obama stated. That means the malaise of Obama years is back with a vengeance: civil unrest with the chronically stagnant economy, a scandal in every Department, and a woke bureaucracy of radicals leading it clearing the deck of anything of value to America.

Marxists are materialists at their hearts, folks, who claim to be shoveling equity down our throats. America must be punished for its sins and reap the ruin they fertilized across the land. But it is no accident. This was their plan all along to destroy and unwind America from the inside out, the way our enemies never could.

So Joey OBiden proposes a 6 trillion dollar budget. And there is another 5-6 trillion in the breach to complete his promises. That is over 11 trillion on top of what he already spent. He’s only starting.

His lies are just as big as his Washington schemes. He claims the wealthy and corporations need to finally pay their fair share. All his tax hikes will only affect them and surely no one making less than 400,000 a year. (er that is 200k each for couples) No, it won’t affect you or regular middle class people. Don’t worry ‘bout it.

However, government’s accountability offices say the real fact is 70% of corporate tax hikes fall on middle and low income people. Does that sound like you will be unaffected? Then shovel onto that the hidden tax of inflation which always hits middle and lower incomes the most. Yet, Joe gets away with these repeated lies.

 

Now Biden goes to Tulsa, OK to lecture about racism while further inciting a race war in the country, to deliver that equity they boast about. Joe promises to bring more of the problems from the past back to life. He is the Jurassic Park of crises. Then he promises to fix them using the same failed policies that caused them.

Oh well, only so much time. But how is that working for you?

Tomorrow’s Leaders

One of the things that always intrigued me was the idea of tomorrow’s leaders. I remained on the optimistic side until the early 2000’s. Then the pessimism began to outweigh the positive thoughts. You can read any reasons into that you like.

At least I tried to be optimistic that our future would be in decent hands. I don’t know that I can say that too much anymore. It’s sad. That’s not to say our leaders have been all that great or wonderful. But my hope was tomorrow’s leaders would reach new goals and highs, much like science and technology advances. (realizing not all advances are good)

One can hope future leaders improve and learn from past errors. Even void of history.

Of course those lessons are harder when no one talks about or acknowledges those past errors. Or if they refuse to admit there were errors. Without that, it seems to me, we cannot learn to not repeat them. Another way to look at it is: if we learn that those errors were positive and we need to do more of it not less, then we seem doomed to failure. But that could make some people happy.

Nowadays I have to apologize for not generally being positive. There just seem to be so many negatives staring me in the face. That is being realistic about it. I still feel the hope for the country and all, far as that is possible. But the leadership, to me, is very much in question. I suppose there can be no guarantees. Maybe I would like to see more signs of positivity for the long run?

It seemed like a big dose of positive for the future just getting Trump into office. He more than accomplished my basic desires. I can’t list them but a huge one was to break the monopoly and shake up the system enough to change status quo. That was a help. With that, as I assumed, we got all the attacks we should have expected. But it got much worse than I expected. Okay, so that is only confirmation of how badly it needed it. I get that.

Then came the official, organized resistance and all the rest. Again, predictable. Though at some point you evaluate if we have made headway in the long run. It is hard to see it. Then what happens if and when we let up even for a second? You know. That is also why I am convinced in seeing it as evil. And it spreads.

I sure would like to feel more optimistic for the future in good hands. But I’m seeing that glass as half empty and that is not enough to repel the enemy within. Is it a matter of training? I don’t know. Maybe I am looking at it only from my small perspective.

In the end, I do have faith that God is in charge and He will see us through. But that does not prevent bad things from happening to us. We can cause problems. Technology improvements themselves can cause problems, too. It is not all good.

When it comes to leaders though, I sigh and ask ‘will these new ones have to learn things all over again?’ Does the whole sequence have to repeat itself? Can’t we build on what we know and not on what we don’t know? I ask those questions in confidence because I don’t always like the answers I get. What about cynicism, is that fashionable now?

That is just touching the surface and I could litter this with examples. But at this point, I don’t think they are necessary. One more question for the road. Maybe we never really took on the communist threat the way we should have – or seriously enough?

Never Let A Pandemic Crisis Go To Waste

Imagine if someone came along and just slapped a shutdown order on your storefront or business for 2 weeks — or until further notice. Then said, at the end of 15 days we can talk about future operations. “We’ll let you know. Stay tuned.”

That is effectively what government has done here. Now granted there is an emergency and medical reasons but that makes the whole idea seem only slightly more palatable.

Sure in the end, businesses and people did it for the good of people and the country. They did it for moral purposes. And they didn’t even complain that much. It was deemed a social necessity to limit the spread of a vicious disease, a real pandemic.

Americans did what they usually do, made the best of it.

Businesses accepted and complied with their social responsibility without pointing fingers or blame. Schools were shuttered. Further, people were inconvenienced and forced into social isolation under threat of offense if they did not comply. But they didn’t need threats; Americans complied.

Now if all that were not bad enough, they now see shaping up a bill to address those economic damages which piles an entire agenda of other non-related, political issues onto their sufferings. They watch their own legislators piling on political wishes to their damages like ornaments.

I don’t think words can describe the outrageous fury of people over those circumstances.

ABC News reports:

Prior to the vote, Republicans complained Democrats have turned negotiations into a “leftwing episode of Supermarket Sweep.”

“Why are Democrats filibustering the bipartisan bill they helped write?” McConnell wondered, ticking through a “Democratic wish list” that he said was preventing an agreement, including tax credits for solar energy and wind energy provisions to force employers to give “special new treatment for big labor,” and new emissions standards for airlines.

Let me get this straight: the government comes along and wrecks businesses at a moments notice then tells them to get in line behind their pet political concerns? There must be a hot fiery place for that – extremely hot.

Words cannot express the people’s rage for that treatment. They broke the model but have problems about fixing it? Democrats are playing a very dangerous and sinister game here. But it is just politics as usual to them. That’s a shame.

Americans didn’t cause this. They didn’t ask for this. In fact, the only thing they ever ask is that government protect the country. Actually, the government and Democrats in particular were too busy with their political agenda, and trying to impeach the president that they could not protect the country. They didn’t care.

But now they want to use this economic crisis they created to feather their own political nests, to play election politics with your livelihood. Disgraceful.

Americans did their part, now government does not want to do their jobs or be responsible. And what accountability? Democrats’ political agenda is job #1.

To make matters even worse, when they go took the floor arguing for their self-serving political agenda, they called the bill a “bailout” for businesses. Relief for damages through no fault of their own, they call it bailouts? Are you kidding me?

They owe it to Americans and people deserve better than this extortion plot. But we the people are supposed to suffer and pay for their own malfeasance.

Obama warns: dangers of social media

Oh, it’s another little helpful warning from Obama’s bully police. Something to take very seriously, har har.

Washington Examiner

Obama, who was interviewed by Prince Harry for the BBC, did not mention Trump by name, though his comments appeared to be directed at Trump who frequently takes to Twitter to express himself.

“One of the dangers of the Internet is that people can have entirely different realities,” Obama said. “They can be cocooned in information that reinforces their current biases.”

“The question has to do with how do we harness this technology in a way that allows a multiplicity of voices, allows a diversity of views, but doesn’t lead to a Balkanization of society and allows ways of finding common ground.”

Mr. Irresponsibility himself lectures us. I don’t know about everybody else, but I’m sick of his lectures.

From the guy who it turns out did absolutely nothing in response to all the dangers on social media and threats he was supposedly seeing.

A serious WaPo story had the rundown of the timeline where Obama didn’t seem to care much about any of that.

Closer to home for Americans, Russian government trolls in 2012 went after a U.S. ambassador for the first time on social media, inundating his Twitter account with threats.

But for U.S. officials, the real wake-up call came in early 2014 when the Russians annexed Crimea and backed separatists in eastern Ukraine. An intercepted Russian military intelligence report dated February 2014 documented how Moscow created fake personas to spread disinformation on social media to buttress its broader military campaign.

Imagine this lecture coming from the guy who never got any real opposition on anything? The guy who used social media as his personal playground for all his drooling sycophants to dominate the airwaves. The Obama that couldn’t get him enough FB attention — with his hordes of fake followers on social media. Sickening to listen to this crap he spews.

What about the dangers from what he did? The danger of his 20 trillion dollar debt? The danger of ignoring the largest crime-terrorist organization to get some phony deal with Iran? His web of deceit really has no ends.

We had 8 years of this threat-in-chief in the White House undermining government, weaponizing information and their politicization of every department. Now, he is worried about social media — very dangerous. Balkanization? Surely you are joking. That’s why he came out talking about dangers of our social media, to divert from his record.

And, by the way, all of those things well before Donald Trump ever appeared on the scene. Now all their fingers point to Trump. What hubris, deflection and deception. Now they need to have an investigation into Trump! Really, absurd.

The Central Factor is Time

Looking across the spectrum of all these problems today, the one common denominator and leading factor in all of our issues or problems seems to be time.

How many songs have been written about time? It’s the one known factor and one thing we have no control over. And time is pressing.

Plug time into anything and it gives you the known variables. How much time do we have? How much time does it take to fix it? How much time is necessary to get the desired results? How much time is being wasted by ignoring the problems? How much time is wasted for all sorts of reasons? In the end, does the clock have enough time available to turn the situation(s) around?

So many people may be looking for a new clock by now. Some may be resigned that it is not even possible anymore. Some are just complacent that it even matters — with so many other concerns upon them. But then, time alone will not fix things either. It can only make the problems a little older.

Just a few general thoughts about the general factor in all our issues, time. We don’t have much left in this election.

Yet there is one other thing that I noticed, politically. Democrats have this habit of overreaching. Of course that is only a byproduct of their politics. They are constantly trying to push the outer limits on everything — whatever it is — as far as they can go. So the natural extension of that is to overreach.

The problem is that it does not seem to bite them more often, if at all. They are now floating the idea of not just beating Trump and getting the White House, but that this could even be a wave election for them in Congress. See what I mean about overreaching? It never ends with Libs, progressives, socialists, whatever they call themselves.

Thugs to Saints

We saw firsthand in the last 8 years how Thugocracy really works, in real time. Examples too countless to mention but it demonstrated how much like street thugs the government has become. We can’t trust anything it does or says. Of course it was nothing new, not like we didn’t know evolution of government had a mutated gene. And then we elected Barack Obama to the White House to kick it up a couple notches.

We knew in 08 what to expect and somehow our worst expectations were not horrific enough. We assumed, incorrectly, that we the people, with the help of some Congress critters, could hold down the fort. After all, he could only be allowed to go so far, we thought. Some conservatives even laughed at the onset that this change for the worst would be the best thing for conservatives. They rationalized that it would rally conservatives and lead us to victory down the road. That was wishful thinking.

There was no will to stop the president from doing whatever he pleased. Actually, many Republicans bent over backward to give him what he wanted. He never had to pass a real budget in his first term. It was pie in the sky.And Obama went on a shopping spree to make any big spender proud. Oh, and while he did it he told us he was actually saving us money and reducing the deficit. People did not really believe it but they let him have his way. He was, after all, the nation’s first black President. What that had to do with any of it I’ll never know or understand.

Then came the end of his first term and the 2012 election. Surely, he could not win considering the cluster f&&#@ he created. We were wrong about that too. The only way he could win, as David Plouffe put it, was to run as an insurgent candidate — with the plan of fixing the problems. So the incumbent ran like an insurgent and ran against himself.

After all, he was not responsible for any of the problems, including the dragging economy. He was never held accountable for one thing.Then we had the Benghazi attack that put the lie to his chief narrative about terrorism. If the economy was that bad, at least he could claim terrorism was on the run.It was all lies after four years of failure, but what difference at that point did it make?

The thugs reigned in government and they were not going to let it slip from their hands if they could stop it. They just lied and when that failed they lied some more. Getting Candice Crowley to lie for Obama at the debate was an added bonus.

The Art of Revision

Fast forward, one campaign and election later. Now we are treated to all the revision they can muster on how great things are. Obama and Hillary deserve the ‘credit’ for this great progress. Rome is in flames but “have no fear.” Hearing them rave about how good the economy and everything is takes some chutzpah. They got plenty of that. Then came the Democrat convention. I was curious how they’d frame Hillary especially with Obama’s dismal record.

Well, the wait was over after the first few speeches. I saw how they were turning her into Mother Teresa right in front of my eyes. Was this the same failed Sec of State and part of the scandalous Clinton duo we all know? Sure it was, but now she is a saint. Was this that scandal queen we all knew? Seems she could do no wrong and leading a party as the first Nanny in Chief. Bill Clinton declared the era of big government was over, Hillary declares it has only just begun. She promises to continue Obama’s abysmal legacy of failure and even crank up the speed.

Since the convention she has gone to ground, in deep hiding. She comes out to give a very controlled speech every so often then disappears to raise money from all her Wall Street pals and celebrity liberals. But Mother Teresa would have had a hard time living that life. But no matter, she has the integrity and honor of Mother Teresa. No matter how many lies, her web of supporters claims to stand on principle, and her vast experience.

Now comes the Clinton ad that hearkens back to the 3 am phone call ad against Obama. It claims safety or national security is her main qualification. Stay safe and elect Hillary. The entire Mid East is ablaze, while she is holding the matches, and says trust me I’ll keep you safe. Have no fear with Hillary is the subtext. As Tim Kaine puts it: it’s too risky to pick an amateur — mostly because of the danger Hillary-Obama put us in. I’ve never seen such a string of reversed lies. We find out that No lies matter. Hashtag that.

“All it would take is just ‘one wrong move'” in these dangerous times, the ad says.

Just one? So she’s the only one we can trust at this dangerous time. Mother Teresa might say you cannot get away with it. Hillary’s long train of abuse has a halo, satan smiles.

Turncoats, losers, useful idiots are played

As far as I’m concerned, the Hillary campaign might as well be recruiting for the KGB if they are flipping people for Clinton.

From NYT  – “Hillary’s Summer of Love”

” Dozens of prominent Republicans have come out and said that they’ll vote for her or consider it, including, just last week, the Silicon Valley titan Meg Whitman, the Jeb Bush confidante Sally Bradshaw, and Maria Comella, a former spokeswoman for two of Trump’s most pugnacious promoters, Chris Christie and Rudy Giuliani.

You can expect that list to grow. The Clinton campaign clearly does. As Bloomberg Politics and The Washington Post reported last week, Clinton’s aides have gone so far as to set up something of a special operation — a defection watch — to monitor news accounts and any other public hints that a Republican leader is thinking of renouncing Trump, so that someone on Team Clinton can reach out and ask him or her to take the next step. The Times’s Jonathan Martin revealed that Clinton herself called Whitman a month ago. “

“The breadth of G.O.P. affection for Clinton shouldn’t be overstated.” — More>

Sorry, but I think you just did overstate it and that is your whole point.

First of all, always beware of the hype especially when the left has a political objective. They paint a popular picture. We’ve all seen the video using statements of well-known Republicans through the primaries. I hope all those Republicans are proud to be used in this, her campaign.

With the Supreme Court at stake, national security, a swiss cheese border with sanctuary cities, establishment corruption woes and a 20 trillion dollar debt bomb at stake, they make it sound like “what’s the big deal?” That’s some powerful deception. So Hillary disinformation pros can talk them through the process. (brainwashing) What’s not to like? How can a rational person support that candidate from hell?

“She’s gone from Republican voodoo doll to Post-Partisan Barbie.” — Ouch

Really, PPB? I got a better Hillary doll in mind, right here.

Trump the Metaphor

Donald Trump has become the metaphorical candidate, at least for the right. I would say ultimate, but that’s another story.

I was thinking of the debate and what would happen. I pictured Trump standing up there center stage, like he always does. looking back and forth nodding or gesturing. Actually, like a big metaphor. Face it, most of the attention has been on him like it or not.

So what I mean is he has become a symbol or a metaphor of a candidate. He has given voice to opinions and concerns of people. He has taken on the persona of an outsider, non-politician, not the faux outsiders who ran before. Obama tried to run as an outsider pretender. Even as an incumbent in his reelection, the campaign strategized it as an insurgency campaign — a huge stretch. But this is about Trump and the right.

Trump is a branding genius too. Where others play politics, his expertise is in branding and he knows how to make that work to his favor. So he’s given voice and a shelf life to these positions that politicos don’t want to hear. Concerns people have about the country.

But taking on those positions is one thing, he hasn’t really backed off or changed his mind in the face of critics. Whether right or wrong, he stays with it.

He also hasn’t taken just the easy popular opinion but the difficult non-politically correct ones. And he has appeared to be a flame thrower. He has media and pundits alike at a loss to how to deal with him. Yet at the same time he does plenty of interviews and answers questions, something even career politicians shy off on at times. (like when they go into lock down mode) We haven’t seen Donald in the lock down mode yet. Even Obama and Hillary have had those in their campaigns.

Now you see what I mean, he has become a metaphor even more than an actual candidate. He is a symbol for conservatives and a fly in the ointment all at the same time. He is not dependent on or looking for money because he is self-funding. That irritates insiders and outsiders alike. It’s the worst thing that could happen from the estabos’ point of view and the best for many conservatives because he gives voice to off-the-table issues. One you cannot ignore. We were always told if you do not like something, wait till the election and we’ll have that conversation. This is the metaphor election for all those “next election” lectures. Trump became a metaphor for what is wrong with our country and system.

Yet all he has to do is stand there, and by doing so he represents all those concerns and issues along with being a representation of many popular sentiments in the nation. Like him or hate him. And Obama is a backdrop reminder of what’s wrong. Trump is a giant symbol, whether you agree with his positions or not. He claimed the turf.

So what has the media done? They have made him the poster child for these so-called radical positions. And then they parlayed that over the entire conservative, right-wing Republican Party.(Bernie Sanders eat your heart out) But that has not hurt Trump, in fact he embraces it. As do his supporters. (as if you can ‘out-brand’ a brand master)

Of course that infuriates the GOP establishment, because they don’t want to be tainted(branded) with all his statements and positions. Tsk, tsk, but that is the establishment Donald s running against and at odds with, the establishment people are so infuriated with. Media sort of does his work for him. You know the drill: one Republican says some inflammatory thing and media goes person by person to ask if you condemn these remarks? If not, then one is condemned for the same statement.It’s the outrage game. He’s branded Republicans against the will of the elites and establishment.

Trump is a metaphor for what is wrong, a metaphor for what people want, a metaphor for how people feel, a metaphor for the voiceless public. He’s a metaphor for our anger about it all. He’s a metaphor for the furor about fixing it. He also branded the establishment.

 

Judge Judy:

“I think that if he wants to be considered as a real candidate, he has to start to temper some of that rhetoric because… while the truthfulness , the candor and the directness of his speeches was appealing for a period of time… in order to be considered, to me — and I’m crazy about Donald – presidential timbre, there has to be a measure in the way you present your argument. They were hungry for plainspeak and Donald is plainspeaking. “

So, give up and tone down on everything that has worked for him, so far.

Debate theatrics? Live or Memorex

I held off and thought about the last debate and let it soak in, but I just wanted to throw this out there.

Now I still wonder if maybe that performance by CNBC may have been planned that way? I mean it is sort of odd that it was supposed to be on the economy, which happens to be Republicans strong suit. Taxation and budget as well. I can almost hear someone say “we don’t want to make them look good.”

It was on the heels of the Benghazi hearing with Hillary. Paybacks you know. Then I wonder if they’d stoop that low to create an ordeal over it and have theatrics so they could blame it all on Republicans? Well, I never put anything past the Left or the media.

Would they think it through to consider hurting themselves and counting it worth it just to attack the Republicans? They still got the ad revenue, either way. Is it possible this thing was planned? Maybe not our whole reaction it got but in a way I am starting to think there was some premeditation there. No candidate in particular, but toward Republicans generally to set them back.

They knew there would be another NBC debate, and this could have been a setup for that? I can’t say for sure but it is a question I consider. A hit job or a mishap? Either one take your pick, same result.

War on Trump — spoiler alert

The establishment has declared war on Trump, after coming to terms that he actually could win the nomination. No word yet how Democrats feel about this declaration.

US Presidential Election News

Imagine the race on the Republican side is frozen in the polls from now until January with Donald Trump on top and Ben Carson a close second. Down the list is the establishment favorites including Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio, unable to gain any traction or land serious punches against the frontrunners. That is the very scenario which several conservative and Republican-aligned political groups are planning for should the need arise. The crux of such a plan would include wall-to-wall negative advertising against Trump in the early primary states.

More: 2016 Election Central

Washington Examiner

“The Republican establishment, for the first time, is saying, off the record, this guy can win,” noted Joe Scarborough on MSNBC Monday morning. “I’ve heard that from everybody. I don’t hear anybody saying he can’t win the nomination anymore.” …/

Which could lead to an extraordinary scenario in which GOP stalwarts go to war to destroy their own party’s likely nominee.

That’s right, take Joe Scarborough’s word for Republican establishment.

Prepare for the 10,000 points of light offensive, to co-opt a GHW Bush phrase:

“I don’t think Trump can withstand 10,000 points of smart negative in Iowa and New Hampshire,” says one veteran Republican strategist who is not affiliated with any campaign. “It would force him to spend money. That’s when this starts to get real for him.” (“Points” refers to gross ratings points, a way of measuring TV ad buys; 10,000 points would be a really big buy, meaning the average viewer would see an anti-Trump ad many, many times.)

says [Club for Growth] McIntosh. “There are a large number of donors and political activists who want to do it.”

So someone has to do the dirty work. And someone has been planning — and no doubt creating — ads for their eventual onslaught. Translation, this could get real ugly, real fast. But ugly for the most part on the establishment side.

Indeed, other sources inside the RNC say chairman Reince Priebus has stressed to staff that they must stay out of candidate fights.

More: Washington Examiner

So then, let the bombardment begin. Well, since I wrote my main objection to Trump here before, it is now a moving target. On one hand there is Trump, on the other there is the establishment status quo. (the guys who blew almost every opportunity over ten years.) All bets are off. Want to consolidate Trump support?

Now if/when that onslaught starts, like others, I’ll oppose establishment RNC elites, which surely they must have factored into their calculated battle plans. This means that all their negative ads they run just could cause more negative scrutiny of the establishment.

Funny how these guys weren’t prepared to go to battle over the debt or over Planned Parenthood funding, or the Iran nuclear festival. But dammit they must take a no-holds-barred stand against Trump. Now he’s just a bridge too far. It’s almost comical.

However, when they force the criticism toward the estabo elitists, well it will only help Trump. So if that is the case, score one for the Donald once again. I guess that will make me a de facto defender of Trump. Cheers GOP. Watch your own Party torpedo itself.

(I don’t think you declare war without really going to war…but that’s just MHO)

Obama meets Obama …calls him unpatriotic

Sort of. I love it when a plan comes together.

Flashback: “pay as you go” candidate Obama:

Dems are in a big tizzy over Giuliani’s statement that Obama doesn’t love America.

“I do not believe, and I know this is a horrible thing to say, but I do not believe that the president loves America,” Giuliani is quoted as saying. “He doesn’t love you. And he doesn’t love me. He wasn’t brought up the way you were brought up and I was brought up through love of this country.”

Obama slammed George Bush as unpatriotic for spending 4 trillion dollars. Now is there any doubt about Obama’s huge appetite for spending? (Or buying votes as some call it)

And he said this the day before the 4h of July – probably unaware of what the 4th is.

Now Giuliani says Obama doesn’t love America and you’d think the world came to a screeching halt.Debbie Schultz is outraged. But he qualified his remarks by saying

“He’s a patriot, I’m sure. What I’m saying is that, in his rhetoric, I very rarely hear him say the things that I used to hear Ronald Reagan say, the things I used to hear Bill Clinton say, about how much he loves America. I do hear him criticize America much more often than other American presidents.”

In 2009, after election, VP Joe lectured on the wisdom of spending money.

Patriotism is now big-spending and fashionable. Love for America takes a backseat to that spending …and political ideology… every time.

Evidently, times have really changed since 2008. If Biden was right, then thanks to Obama this country will never go bankrupt. Giuliani might have hit more than one nerve in the Obama camp.Finally, someone says publicly what Americans are thinking.

Obama debt, disaster and deceit … are always looming

Professor of fiscal irresponsibility, Obama, enlightened us in his press conference:

“So let me explain this. If Congress refuses to raise what’s called the debt ceiling, America would not be able to meet all of our financial obligations for the first time in 225 years.

And because it's called raising the debt ceiling, I think a lot of Americans think it's raising our debt. It is not raising our debt. This does not add a dime to our debt.

It simply says you pay for what Congress has already authorized America to purchase, whether that’s the greatest military in the world or veterans’ benefits or Social Security. Whatever it is that Congress has already authorized, what this does is make sure that we can pay those bills.

Now the last time that the tea party Republicans flirted with the idea of default, two years ago, markets plunged, business and consumer confidence plunged, America’s credit rating was downgraded for the first time, and a decision to actually go through with it, to actually permit default, according to many CEOs and economists, would be — and I’m quoting here — “insane, catastrophic, chaos” — these are some of the more polite words.

Warren Buffett likened default to a nuclear bomb, a weapon too horrible to use. It would disrupt markets, it would undermine the world’s confidence in America as the bedrock of the global economy, and it might permanently increase our borrowing costs which, of course, ironically would mean that it would be more expensive for us to service what debt we do have and it would add to our deficits and our debt, not decrease them.

There’s nothing fiscally responsible about that. Preventing this should be simple. As I said, raising the debt ceiling is a lousy name, which is why members of Congress in both parties don’t like to vote on it, because it makes you vulnerable in political campaigns. But it does not increase our debt. It does not grow our deficit, it does not allow for a single dime of increased spending. All it does is allow the Treasury Department to pay for what Congress has already spent.”

More Washington Post

So let’s review. Raising the debt ceiling does not add a dime to the debt, but not raising it adds to the deficit and debt. Got it? He can see how increased borrowing costs add to our debt; but raising the debt ceiling — because we are right up against it — does not add anything to debt. Nope.

	Gross Federal Debt	Debt Held by Public	Debt Held by Federal Reserve
FY 2014*	$18.2 trillion	$11.6 trillion	$1.6 trillion
FY 2013*	$17.2 trillion	$10.7 trillion	$1.6 trillion
FY 2012	$16.1 trillion	$9.6 trillion	$1.6 trillion
FY 2011	$14.8 trillion	$8.5 trillion	$1.7 trillion
FY 2010	$13.5 trillion	$8.2 trillion	$0.8 trillion
FY 2009	$11.9 trillion	$6.8 trillion	$0.8 trillion

How many times have we increased the debt ceiling under Obama? A few now. Why? I suggest the debt ceiling has been raised many times, over time, which allowed the debt to rise. How else could the debt have risen above the ceiling ? So why, then, do they always link hitting the debt ceiling with default — if they are not going to add to the debt?

Government debt in the United States has steadily increased from $2 trillion in the mid 1980s to over $17 trillion today. But as a percent of GDP it has grown from 55 percent to over 100 percent of GDP today.

In the Crash of 2008 government debt increased sharply to bail out the banks and to provide “stimulus” to the economy. Debt reached 104 percent of GDP in 2009. But debt is expected to plateau at about 122 percent of GDP in the next few years.

But maybe in Obama’s world the GDP could be just shrinking that much.

 
Then he closed his box of tricks with this:

Now, the good news is… Our housing market is healing; we’ve cut the deficit in half. Since I took office, the deficit is coming down faster than any time in the last 50 years.

He has some real sophistry working there. Note he is talking about the “deficit” now. So if the budget deficit beginning in his first term was running all time highs, then he has decreased it from that level. Gee, see isn’t that great?

If its so great then why do we have to keep raising the debt ceiling again and again?(and probably again in the near future.) Could it be that we were so far beyond budget limits that anything short of that looks like a big improvement?

Seems so. Is this the twilight-zone market?

I have a sneaky suspicion you could find this stock in some Congressman’s portfolios.
Just a hunch.

Right speech wrong words

There is hardly anyone reading this that doesn’t see the sickness in Obama. But it is not just him. How about his speech writers? I can’t imagine how they can write anything they want while it contrasts with reality. Even the lies are scripted so there is a bigger problem. People actually write his speeches, and he delivers them, and they stand truth on its head. But they don’t care because they are writing whatever Obama wants, which does not align with the truth. It is completely disconnected from reality. It doesn’t seem to matter.

Now he says “what I have said” is he will not negotiate over “the good faith and credit of the US”. But what he actually said before is that he would not negotiate with Congress. That’s what he said and everyone heard him, numerous times. Now he tries to revise it or move the goal post. Even Carney said Obama would not negotiate with Congress over the debt ceiling. But our ears must be faulty.

He goes out and personalzes one self-defense shooting in speeches and then ignores gang shootings and violence. He talks about proposing laws, yet gangs by their nature operate outside the law. (sort of like his administration operates above the law.)

Obama was back in Missouri once again, after his speech in July blocked campus Republicans from attending. Then the rodeo clown was barred at the State Fair for poking fun at Obama.

Obama tells them that Republicans just threaten to “blow things up” if they cannot defund Obamacare . Its just not true. That doesn’t stop Obama from making the charge. In fact, it is he who is threatening to shut down government, just like he did before. It is he who wants it completely his way. Yet the purse belongs to Congress. He really has a problem with the Constitution he has sworn to defend and uphold to the best of his ability.

“Be the guy who’s doing your job. No obstruction. No games. No holding the economy hostage if you don’t get 100 percent of what you want,” he said.

Holding America hostage to his agenda is his agenda. And he always demands 100% of it, and refuses to negotiate. He insisted Republicans are just “trying to mess with him”.

He went on to say that Congress should do a budget on time and said he would work with the Senate toward a budget. Is he so disconnected from reality? He doesn’t care. He just continues to say whatever he wants, ignoring the truth. His speech writers do exactly the same thing. So he stands there accusing others of doing exactly what he is engaged in. “Just do your job,” he lectured Congress and Republicans.

“This is not a deadbeat nation. We don’t run out on our tab,” said Obama, vowing he would not negotiate over the “full faith and credit of the United States.”

But the tab belongs to Obama not congressional Republicans. It was his spendathon.

But it is this process of going out there to say anything he wants, with no regard for reality, that gets me. And wahtever Congress says he doesn’t address. He simply changes what they said to suit his purposes, then proceeds to argue against it. He walks out, speaks and stands reality on its head. But someone is actually writing this stuff.

What he could have said, but never would, is to begin with saying: by the way, I’m sorry that there were apparently some college Republicans that were blocked from my speech out here in July. And I regret that a rodeo clown, doing his job and poking fun at me at the State Fair, was fired and banned. That was over the top. Please accept my apologies for that Missouri, on behalf of others.

But no, that wouldn’t happen. In fact, the rhetoric from the Left has even escalated, if that’s possible. Schumer talks about holding a gun to America’s head. Pelosi talks about “legislative arson”. Obama talks about “holding the economy hostage”. I’m starting to think of how much Libs have in common with the gangs like the Bloods and Crypts. The language and threats are on the same level.

Then he labeled his big-government schemes a “better bargain for the middle class.” The ones who he’s been stepping on and killing with his war on energy. Holding the economy hostage? Don’t make me laugh. This is the gang-banger Obama, Chicago style. Welcome to the ‘hood.

Alternatives and the reinvestment act

The $139 million Edith Green-Wendell Wyatt modernization was funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, with all the trimmings. I wonder if they sent a thank you note?

Edith Green-Wendell Wyatt Modernization Project

An American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Project

The Edith Green-Wendell Wyatt Federal Building in the heart of Portland, Oregon, is an 18-story, 525,000 square foot facility that is home to more than 16 federal agencies and 1,200 federal employees.

The building was originally constructed in 1974 and underwent a major renovation between 2009 and 2013. Today the building is a cornerstone of GSA’s green building portfolio with all new mechanical, electrical, plumbing and data systems designed to make it one of the most energy efficient office buildings in the country. The work was completed by a team of SERA Architects and Howard S. Wright Construction who were awarded the contract in 2010.

The newly-renovated Federal Building includes a number of efficient, sustainable and innovative technologies including:

• solar thermal panels that will provide for 30% of the building’s domestic hot water
• a 13,000 square foot solar roof that will produce 3% of the building’s electrical energy requirements annually
• modernized elevators that generate power as they descend
• unique shading devices on the south, west and east facades designed to respond to the sun conditions, maximize daylight and minimize solar heat gain during the summer
• energy efficient electric lighting systems with advanced controls that will reduce light energy usage by 40% compared to Oregon code
• a 165,000 gallon cistern used to flush low-flow toilets and irrigate native landscaping
• energy efficient water fixtures, which in addition to rainwater reuse, will reduce overall water consumption by 60% compared to typical office buildings
• a dedicated outside air system that provides 100% fresh air

The operationally and economically efficient high-performance building is expected to achieve a 50 percent reduction in energy use compared to the old building and a 60 percent water reduction compared to Oregon code. The facility is designed to meet the Federal Guiding Principles for High Performing Green Buildings and the Obama Administration’s directives for agencies to lead by example in environmental, energy, and economic performance. Through these directives agencies are required to meet a range of energy, water, pollution, and waste reduction targets. Additionally, the facility is expected to achieve LEED Platinum certification from the U.S. Green Building Council for its use of cutting-edge sustainable design and technology.

GSA was appropriated more than $5.5 billion under the Recovery Act to convert federal facilities into high-performance green buildings and construct energy-efficient federal buildings, courthouses, and land ports of entry.[snip]

The building “is one of 600 that the GSA owns or operates in the Pacific Northwest.”

Well there is a lot you can do with 139 million dollars. But here is the GSA which manages or owns how many properties around the country, getting the benefits of tax dollars for the project. Large enough to have its own scandal.

Why does GSA have to be a great beneficiary of the spendathon? Surely it has assets of its own. Must have ‘mo money’ They have vacant properties sitting. And then they flaunt it as a great achievement. Still when the work stops those extra jobs are gone.

So they couldn’t have done this without the stimulus? It just pisses me off. Is GSA the sustainable ferry now, blessing all the people with their spending? Who will pay in the end? And they’re on the road to save resources.

Why couldn’t they prove “sustainability” and find the means to do it? That’s what anyone else would have to do. The irony that GSA is preaching sustainability. I guess Portland is now Porkland.
