America suffers second straight quarter of contracted economic growth

. . ."Biden's comments come despite White House data published on Thursday showing the second straight quarter of contracted economic growth in the United States.

"Thursday's data reveals that the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis’s (BEA) first estimate of the nation’s gross domestic product was worse than the predicted expansion of 0.5%, FXStreet noted.

"The economy shrank by a 0.9 annualized rate.

"Economists widely define a recession as two consecutive quarters of negative growth.

"Despite that, Biden claimed in a statement that the contraction was unsurprising and the economy is heading in the right direction.

"Coming off of last year’s historic economic growth – and regaining all the private sector jobs lost during the pandemic crisis – it’s no surprise that the economy is slowing

"After destroying America's economy with his failed policies, Democrat Joe Biden is claiming economic success as the United States enters a recession, arguing that "we are on the right path."

Searching for anti-Semitism on the right while ignoring it on the left -

  Jonathan Tobin (jewishworldreview.com)

"The comments of a speaker at a recent rally that featured an appearance by former President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania is being widely cited as justification for President Joe Biden's labeling of his opponents as "semi-fascists." That talk, which served as one of several warm-up speeches prior to the main event with Trump, involved comments in which a defendant in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot was spoken of as a victim even though the person in question has been credibly accused of also being a Nazi sympathizer. Those remarks are therefore being put forward by some on the left as evidence for the thesis that under Trump, the Republican Party has become a home for anti-Semites, if not Nazis.

"In a campaign where Biden's Democrats have begun to gain some ground recently in a midterm election that had heretofore seemed to promise disaster for them, the focus on Trump and his alleged soft-spot for extremists has proved to be a brilliant tactic. Instead of defending their dismal record on the economy, inflation, crime and other issues, Democrats are doing their best to change the subject to Trump and Jan. 6. This is also tied to an unseemly and highly politicized set of actions undertaken by the Department of Justice — like the raid on Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence — that seems akin to the typical banana republic practice of a government seeking to jail their political opponents. Justified or not, Democrats gain when the discussion is about the party that is out of power rather than the one that has been in control of everything in Washington for the last 20 months.". . .

Ratings-challenged Don Lemon ‘not the answer,’ to CNN’s morning show issues, critics say

"CNN had tried for years to fix its morning programming and Don Lemon is not the answer," a longtime network morning show producer told Fox News Digital when the move was announced.   

"CNN recently announced low-rated, left-wing host Don Lemon would move from primetime to an ensemble morning program later this year, as the network attempts to revamp its AM lineup with a show centered around a host who's struggled to attract viewers.". . .

. . ."Steve Krakauer, a former CNN digital producer who edits media newsletter Fourth Watch, believes Lemon has a chance to thrive in mornings but wonders if he’s too partisan to attract additional eyeballs. 

" 'Lemon is a talented TV personality who went far down the Trump addiction rabbit hole over the past five years. That may have brought him some degree of success with a small subset of the audience, but ultimately it did not allow for his true talent to shine. He's not a news reader. He's not a strong partisan voice like Rachel Maddow. So what is he? Well he's fun, and he's kind of goofy, and he can fill air time," Krakauer told Fox News Digital. 

" 'If that's what the morning show will be, maybe he'll succeed. To be fair, success for CNN in the morning will basically be getting above a ‘scratch’ rating," Krakauer continued. "But I also wonder if Don Lemon in 2022 is currently capable of just being that, of de-politicizing himself enough to be palatable for an audience that doesn't want to be part of the endless divisiveness that his old show brought."

"Lemon has insisted that the move from primetime to the mornings isn’t a demotion. McCall believes network honchos simply did what they had to do, but more changes will be inevitable if Lemon doesn’t figure out a way to appeal to viewers. ". . .

SATIRE: Rep. Adam Schiff Calls for House Select Committee to Investigate DeSantis for Flying Migrants to Martha’s Vineyard –

Satire:  RedState  "Washington, D.C. – Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) has called for the creation of a House Select Committee to look into Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for sending Venezuelan migrants to Martha’s Vineyard. He and his colleagues hope this will help to get to the bottom of the issue, which he calls “one of the most traumatic experiences Americans living in Martha’s Vineyard have ever had and a blight on the nation.”

"While addressing reporters at a press conference, Schiff excoriated DeSantis for bringing brown people to the nation’s most popular bastion for wealthy white progressives. “This was like 9/11 – or even worse – Jan. 6 for the people living in Martha’s Vineyard,” the lawmaker fumed. “It is our duty to find out what happened.”

"When asked if he might be exaggerating by comparing the flying of migrants to the island to Jan. 6, Schiff replied, “Look, the name of the place is Martha’s Vineyard, not Maria’s Vineyard – do you understand? Forcing us to deal with these people is nothing less than barbaric.”

"Schiff then revealed that he had evidence of Russian involvement in the matter. He said:

“But I haven’t even gotten to the good part yet. I am in possession of evidence showing that Russia has been deeply involved in this whole initiative to send illegals to Democrat-run cities. Apparently, both Abbott and DeSantis have quite a cozy relationship with Putin. At least one witness has come forward claiming at least two of the bus drivers appeared to be of Russian descent.”

"The lawmaker said he would be going public with the rest of the evidence “really really soon, I promise.' ”. . .

Freakout Over Martha's Vineyard Flight Ignores the Real Problem

Whatever number you choose, 4,431 total illegal crossings or 3,543 allowed to stay, the number is a lot bigger than the 48 migrants who landed in Martha's Vineyard. And yet, the outrage! Critics lined up to call DeSantis' transfer of illegal crossers to a luxury redoubt in Massachusetts cruel and inhuman and un-American and anti-American and "literally human trafficking" and more. A Boston-based group called Lawyers for Civil Rights demanded that the United States Justice Department and the Massachusetts attorney general investigate and possibly prosecute DeSantis for an alleged "conspiracy to deprive our clients of their liberty and civil rights and interfere with federal immigration proceedings."

Soros-Funded Group Behind Lawsuit Against DeSantis on Martha’s Vineyard Flights | Newsbusters   . . ."This is nothing new for Soros, who has bankrolled several far-left, pro-open borders organizations. In January 2022, a Soros-funded group secured a $158 million government contract to help illegal immigrants avoid deportation, in what appears to be a violation of U.S. border security policy. 

"DeSantis, on the other hand, has voiced support for strong national borders. He tweeted on Sept. 15 that in Florida, “we take what is happening at the southern border seriously. We are not a sanctuary state, and we will gladly facilitate the transport of illegal immigrants to sanctuary jurisdictions.” 

"The LCR patted itself on the back in its press release, calling its lawsuit against DeSantis part of a “herculean pro bono effort” backed by an “army of volunteer attorneys.” Their stated objective was to seek “damages” from DeSantis for his supposedly “unlawful relocation scheme” of roughly 50 migrants to Martha’s Vineyard." 

Shocking behavior by Putin and Biden

 

Shocking behavior by Putin and Biden - Asia Times   "Anyone who listened to Vladimir Putin’s TV broadcast to his nation on September 21 had to be shocked by the Russian leader’s tone, incoherence and threat.

"US President Joe Biden, in a speech to the UN General Assembly, only made matters worse, not better, by putting all of the burden unequivocally on Putin’s head.

"There are many impacts from these events, including the bitter possibility of a wider war that will spill over into Europe.

"Both Biden and Putin seem to think they can play this kind of poker. Not only will they both lose, but the world will be greatly endangered.

"To take the view that the only outcome in Ukraine is win or lose, and that if Russia loses it may use weapons of mass destruction or the Russian government may collapse into chaos, is not in anyone’s interest.". . .
