Do Not Lose Focus On The Border And Economy

Fri, 2024-05-10 18:00 +0000

There is so much going on in D.C., not just with Joe Biden and the Misfit Toys. Things are explosive on the Hill, and even the Supreme Court is chipping in. And don’t forget the fabricated farce of a trial in New York where the poor excuse of a D.A., Alvin Bragg, has been assigned the task of keeping Donald Trump off the campaign trail for six to eight weeks.

We have a never-ending battle in Ukraine and the retaliation by Israel against Hamas that is causing weeks of unrest in American colleges. America is in chaos, and we are pulling the world into the vortex. All of this distortion is taking our attention away from our biggest concern, and that is the open spigot of humanity at what used to be our southern border.

I will not give Biden credit for creating this plethora of distractions. He is incapable of such a sophisticated operation, but I will give him 100% credit for the broken country we must put back together after we oust him on November 5. The attention given to these ancillary situations works in the favor of Biden by taking the focus off the border and the economy.

The border is still hemorrhaging, and we know it is a two-fold issue. We still have over 300,000 unvetted migrants from around the globe, and these people are transported into cities and towns coast to coast. The latest numbers are in for what Biden’s border crisis is costing us, and the numbers are huge. The total cost in 2023 was $150 billion or nearly $9,000 per migrant. That is more than what is paid to Seniors for Medicare or veterans. In other words, two of our most treasured groups, the people who protected our freedom and the folks who have been investing in America the longest, are below illegal migrants when it comes to the country paying back. Nobody in Washington should sleep well with those sinful facts.

To compound the border crisis, Biden will start importing Gaza refugees. It is unclear when this influx will begin or how many refugees Biden intends to bring to America. There are many countries, Iraq, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon, in the Middle East that could take refugees, but every country said no, thank you. None of these countries wants to take the risk and danger these refugees would present, and many of them will be Hamas terrorists. But Joe thinks it a good idea to bring them to America. Joe, do not bring any more than will fit into Delaware. Many Democrats, led by John Fetterman (D-PA), have seen enough and realize if they do not speak out, they will suffer the same peril as Biden in the fall.

Gas prices, grocery prices, home heating fuel, home/apartment costs, and interest rates continue to rise, far outpacing any wage increases. New job numbers are disappointing, including far too many new government jobs, and unemployment numbers are ticking up. There are no positive numbers in the economy that Biden can point to and say are a result of Bidenomics. It is becoming impossible for anyone to say they are better off under Biden than Trump.

The smoke will clear before the election, especially if Trump is able to get Biden on the debate stage. Biden’s faults will be exposed, and hopefully, voters, especially the undecided, will see the real Biden and realize we need Trump back in the White House to fix what Biden broke.

Friday Meme Overflow-Overflow

Fri, 2024-05-10 16:00 +0000

To all those who are sending in memes, thank you!  Many, many good ones!  Please do share this post, and if you share an individual meme, consider mentioning you saw it on the Grok!

Announcement: From a time standpoint I have to drop to Monday-Friday.  These posts take a surprising amount of time, and since I’m job hunting (or customer hunting, either works) I just can’t do three days a week right now.  And I’m taking a week (at least) off from the Israel posts too.

Speaking of, from this week, Monday Edition and Wednesday Edition.  Also check out my latest Israel-focused meme & commentary post if this is a subject of interest to you.

Somehow I get the feeling a few of these are repeats.

 

 

The only thing I can think of is that WOKE is an intellectual parasite.  It infects company leaders, who then act to advance wokeness, not the company.  In fact they do the former to the detriment of the latter.

 

 

 

 

Sure feels like it these days.

 

 

When your declared enemy, who openly hates you, supports someone… yes, question that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This seemed way too pat & convenient, so I checked:

Australian gun law: Inside John Howard’s battle to rid guns from Australia | news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site

At the time, an inflamed NSW Premier Barrie Unsworth said: “It will take a massacre in Tasmania before we get gun law reform in Australia.”

Mr Unsworth would go on to regret his statement, with the tragic prophecy unfortunately coming true.

Brings this to mind:

 

 

 

All the outrage for one country and one situation only.  Others have correctly pointed out that Arabs have killed orders of magnitude more Arabs than Israel has… even with Israel having an unprecedented low civilian-to-combatant death ratio, unheard of in modern warfare.  And begging your pardon for inserting a video, this is one large reason why.  Watch as an IDF call to an Arab in a lined-up targeted building results in the Arab saying they won’t move, and celebrating their potential martyrdom.  Including the deaths of the children there:

In a win for all us “conspiracy theory” people, AstraZeneca has finally admitted that, yes, there ARE some bad side effects of their shots, and decided to pull them:

The Deep State’s attempts to sink Trump in the public opinion and/or shackle him with lawfare have backfired “bigly”, and they are getting desperate.  Given that, more and more “little things” are adding up to the TLAs green-lighting using the “JFK solution” on Trump:

The judge in Trumps “false bookkeeping entry” trial (the one with Stormy Daniels testifying in NY) has now put a “gag order” on one of the main witnesses for Trump.  But there’s no agenda here, oh no…:

Regarding Trump’s “classified” documents case, it’s been put on hold.  Recently the prosecution had to admit (in court) that the evidence had been “mishandled”, which is a nice way of saying it could have been tampered with by the DOJ.  So they basically don’t have a case any more.  Also, more is coming out that it was a total set-up from the git-go.  Here is a timeline showing how the White House, the DOJ, and NARA all worked together to set this up for the Mar-a-Largo raid:

After the shameful “withdrawal” (really abandonment) of the Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan in August 2021 (where 13 servicemembers were killed, and we left 1000’s of our allies to the clutches of the Taliban), LTCOL Stuart Scheller (then a Marine Corps infantry officer) made a video asking about holding the leadership accountable.  However, instead of being praised for asking about accountability, he was fired, jailed, and then vilified for “questioning the policies of the government”.  It’s now almost 3 years later, and still NO ONE has been held accountable for the withdrawal debacle.  To add insult to injury, they now teach what happened to him at the Senior Staff NCO school.  Not the honest questioning mind you, but the fact that he dared to question “the narrative” is what got him fired.  In this article he makes a good case for firing the entire General staff of the US military:

For my Jewish friends; The National Union of Students has just voted to expel Jewish students from their group (because they support Israel).  Keep your heads on a swivel, as this shows that antisemitism is ramping up and getting to be very pervasive.  I expect it will get “kinetic” in the coming months, so watch your backs:
