American Consumers Are Starting to Hit Their Breaking Point

 American Consumers Are Starting to Hit Their Breaking Point (bloombergquint.com) 

" (Bloomberg Opinion) -- Signs are emerging that the resilience of American consumers is rapidly waning, potentially undermining one of the few remaining pillars supporting the bull market in equities. U.S. households have until recently mostly absorbed higher prices on everything from coffee to chicken to clothes, helping companies maintain fat profit margins despite higher input. But that doesn’t mean consumers were happy about paying more for the same goods, which is why the University of Michigan’s sentiment index has steadily deteriorated to the lowest since 2011.

Ayanna Pressley Deletes Tweet Supporting Will Smith for Slapping Chris Rock

 Neon Nettle  

. . ." 'Squad" member Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., rushed to support Will Smith when he slapped Chris Rock after Rock made a joke about Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith at the Oscars.

"Yet Pressley appears to have deleted the tweet mere minutes later.

"After Rock made a joke about a sequel to "G.I. Jane," apparently referring to Pinkett Smith's bald head, Smith reportedly rushed on stage, slapped Rock in the face, and then returned to his seat.

"Pinkett Smith has been open about her struggle with hair loss.

"Pressley appeared to identify with Pinkett Smith in her tweet.

"She used the word Alopecia, the medical term for bald.". . .

Who Is Really Running the Destroy-America Biden Regime?

 

The Blue State Conservative   “The main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States.” George Soros, hedge-fund billionaire.

"In today’s chaotic political landscape, it is obvious that the Democrat Party in power is comprised largely of far-left radicals, many of them shockingly anti-American and predictably anti-Semitic  (as are all deranged leftists)."

"After all, with Barack Obama, they thought they were significantly closer to their 100-year goal of a socialist-cum-communist America, and believed that “President” Hillary would fulfill their cherished fantasy.". . .

Biden: You're just going to love my plan to punish the successful – HotAir  "The President is getting ready to roll out his proposed budget for fiscal year 2023 this week and if he has his way, Elizabeth Warren will be over the moon with delight. A document released by the White House yesterday indicates that Joe Biden will be asking for a new “Billionaire’s tax” to be included in the budget, setting a minimum tax rate of 20% on some of the wealthiest Americans. But as with most everything that emerges from the swamp these days, the name of the new tax doesn’t match with what it actually does.". . .

Tulsi Gabbard Jumps All Over Ketanji Brown Jackson “I’m Not A Biologist” Comment

 Legal Insurrection

“The hypocrisy and absurdity of this is that she was nominated by President Biden in large part because she is a woman.”

"Tulsi Gabbard went off on SCOTUS nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s inability to define a “woman.”

"Brown Jackson told Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) that she’s not a biologist so she cannot define a woman.

(1/2) In order to have a Supreme Court committed to protecting the rights of all Americans, including women, every justice needs to understand there is such a thing as a woman, as distinct from a man. Yet when asked to define the word “woman,” Supreme Court nominee …

(2/2) … Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson said, “I don’t know.” The hypocrisy and absurdity of this is that she was nominated by President Biden in large part because she is a woman.

 KBJ Hearings Typify Our Debased Political Discourse - The American Spectator | USA News and Politics  

 . . ."It is a virulent new strain of an old malady that George Orwell famously wrote about in his 1946 essay, “Politics and the English Language,” a rebuke of politicians, journalists, and academics who use deceptive language to conceal their ideological objectives: “The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one’s real and one’s declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish spurting out ink.” This is how the hopelessly disorganized Jan. 6 Capitol riot became an “insurrection.” It is how differing outcomes between identity groups became “systemic racism.” Orwell also discusses political words that have been rendered meaningless by dishonest usage:

The word Fascism has now no meaning except in so far as it signifies ‘something not desirable’. The words democracy, socialism, freedom, patriotic, realistic, justice, have each of them several different meanings which cannot be reconciled with one another.…

Who’s Running the Biden Regime?

 

CauseACTION Clarion  (From https://spectator.org/whos-running-the-biden-regime/)

Who’s in charge of our foreign policy? Is it the President or the Secretary of State? If it’s the President, then where did Blinken get the authority to publicly contradict Biden?

. . ." And, as with all things pertaining to the Biden regime, will the corporate media ask any of the above questions? Will they show any interest in learning who in our government is actually making the decisions or how those decisions are being made? Will they even ask why cleaning up and “walking back” Joe Biden’s dangerous and sub-mental remarks has become a regular feature of our government?

"Of course not. The corporate media comprise the propaganda bureau of the Biden regime. They helped put him in the White House, and, as far as they are concerned, there’s nothing to see here and no cause for alarm.

"But let me leave you with this parting thought. Joe Biden holds the nuclear launch codes and is responsible for making — in a matter of minutes — the decision to retaliate if Russia, Communist China, or whoever attacks us with nuclear weapons. Does anyone really believe that he is mentally up to the task of making a correct and timely decision to respond to such an attack? And does Biden’s obviously debilitated mental state increase the risk that an enemy will conclude that it may attack us without fear of retaliation?

"Put another way, does Biden’s obvious dementia effectively vitiate the deterrent effect of our nuclear arsenal and consequently pose a clear and present danger to our very existence?

"Sleep well, America. Joe Biden, the world’s most prominently confused and debilitated geriatric patient, is standing guard."

The American Spectator | USA News and Politics   . . ."In less time than a normal human pregnancy, putative president Biden managed to accomplish the following:

Crashed our booming economy,
Destroyed our energy independence,
Opened our southern border to hundreds of thousands of illegals––many of them diseased, drug- and sex-traffickers, career criminals, jihadists, et al,
Accelerated Iran’s production of nukes,
Promised the disaster of hyperinflation,
Expressed “great confidence in” the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley, after the General––prodded by his dominatrix, Nancy Pelosi?, as the NY Post’s Miranda Devine suggested––conspired with China against President Trump and told military officials not to take orders from him.
Orchestrated the disastrous pullout from Afghanistan––another Milley debacle––leaving behind, to this day, hundreds of stranded Americans and Afghan allies, billions of dollars of U.S. armaments and Black Hawk helicopters and airplanes, massive troves of the rare-earth mineral lithium (“the new oil,” as Dave Hodges reports), as well as Taliban-Isis-Al Qaeda terrorists in charge, and 11 heroic but dead U.S. Marines.

Chatter Of 25th Amendment Erupts After Biden Ramps Up Escalation Talk On Russia, White House Bats Cleanup | The Daily Wire

Honestly, the 25th Amendment was crafted for just such a situation as we are now in with Biden. Yet at least two things militate against this from happening. 1) His handlers are running things anyway, and 2) Kamala, though not mentally incompetent — just stupid — could be worse. — David Limbaugh (@DavidLimbaugh) March 26, 2022

 

The January 6 Witch Hunt Kills a Good Man

 

The Republicans cannot afford to wait until they win the midterms to bring about changes, or else there may be many more such unfortunate occurrences.  The GOP needs to make a great deal of noise about those unfairly jailed.  All right-leaning media outlets need to be talking about this every day without exception. 

                                 Jan. 6 Capitol rioter dies by suicide because of 'broken heart' over case

The January 6 Witch Hunt Kills a Good Man - American Thinker   "If you enquire with anyone — even those who follow right-leaning media such as Fox News — about Matthew Perna, the response will likely be ignorance.

"This is nothing short of tragic.  Even more tragic is the unspeakable suffering Perna endured at the hands of the imposing state that left him despondent, disheartened, and dispirited, such that he resorted to suicide as his path to peace.

"What was his crime?. . ."

. . ."But instead, the Washington establishment, hell-bent on destroying President Trump and his MAGA movement, and silencing their political opponents, used the likes of Matt as pawns in their ugly campaign of vengeance.

"What a heartbreaking ending to a kind, gentle, passionate, and talented soul and a patriot.  There was so much to live for and so much he could have achieved.  He would have brought joy to so many.

"Alas, all that is left are his memories.  Sadly, even his memories will not be spared by his persecutors.  In reports of his death, Matt is referred to as a rioter, and they mention him pleading guilty without any context. 

"These are the same people who eulogized George Floyd, who, between 1997 and 2005, was convicted of eight crimes and served four years in prison for aggravated robbery in a home invasion.  They also express undying support BLM rioters, arsonists, and looters.

"With Matt's passing, the powers that be in Washington and the media have blood on their hands.". . .
