Reordering reality, Psaki, Biden and the week that was
As America descends into chaos the powers that be have decided to tell us that all is well. I suppose if one is a progressive that may be true. This week was marked by a series of devious acts in Loudoun County VA. On Tuesday, news broke about the Loudoun County Public Schools possibly covering up the sexual assault of a 15-year-old girl by a male student in the girls’ bathroom. A male student who was evidently exercising his newly minted transgender rights. Something we were told would never happen. Not only did it happen, but it happened twice and the father of one of the victims was tackled and arrested at a school board hearing and is awaiting prosecution and possible jail time.
There were the ongoing issues that have become the norm in the Biden era:
The Border Crisis: We were treated to another week of watching thousands of migrants crossing the Rio Grande. A Haitian caravan is reportedly on the way. Even Barack Obama is concerned and he announced that the ongoing crisis on the US border is "unsustainable!" Clueless Joe Biden is now down to 23% on border approval via Quinnipiac. ICE was ordered to stop arresting migrants at their places of employment. The left's dream of changing the demographics of America continues unabated.
The Inflation Crisis: Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers is worried that the Fed is losing control of inflation. On Wednesday he said: "We have a generation of central bankers who are defining themselves by their ‘wokeness. They’re defining themselves by how socially concerned they are." Inflation is rapidly rising to 6%.
The Unemployment Crisis: 4.3 Million workers are missing from the workforce. Where did they go. Did Biden's generous relief payments have something to do with the shortage of workers?
The Supply Line Crisis: Freight is still backed up outside of LA's ports. Recently the port went to 24/7 operations, but that may not help with a shortage of truck drivers. Companies are dealing with truck, rail and warehouse shortages. Fox News is on the scene this morning and word is nothing is moving.
The Crime Crisis: Crime continues to run rampant in Major American cities. There is a shortage of Police Officers. Certain Prosecutors are not following the law. In Chicago, Cook County State's attorney Kim Fox declined to prosecute any of the gang members who staged a broad daylight shootout in a residential neighborhood. When the Mayor questioned the decision, Fox replied that the gangs were engaged in "consentual mutual combat."
What have we learned?
The academic world/the abstract world isn't just playing parlor games. It has arrived. CRT, which some wrote off as racism used to fight racism is right in our communities and is likely being taught to the military. The insane idea of printing money to achieve "prosperity" is also here. How about a Soros sponsored kind of critical legal theory, which says there is no connection between natural law and real law? Who would have believed this could be happening withing the US?
We also learned that there are those who like to virtue signal, even though they have no virtue. They want to relive the Civil Rights movement of the 1960's. Maybe not. Maybe they simply want to divide the country along racial lines in order to achieve a desired end. Then there are the nasty, who would much rather toss a molotov cocktail at a Wendy's drive through, than discuss the news. On the bright side, we learned that we have heroines among us.
I think even democrats are starting to feel it - there shall be a reckoning!
Until next week - Keep up the good fight.
Jen Psucki really sucks at her job. Unqualified, unprepared, unfit for the job.
Continues to make Biden look bad
She is like a kindergarten teacher. She can say anything and it goes unqestioned.
Well done again my friend.
America In Chaos? The DOW is up twenty percent!
An accurate representation of the week that was...
20% this week? LMAO that ISN'T representative of anything but wishful thinking.
He made that shit straight up.
For a supposedly astute investor, one would figure he would at LEAST have some concept of math.
His graphs are upside down.
DOW is up 20% since Biden became POTUS!
A we to believe you guys are playing dumb?
Nope. January 29th it was as I stated above 30K plus some change. At best you're looking at 17%
And actually, January 21, 2021 it was at 30,930.52So it's less than 17%
Good luck quibbling over how big a SUCCESS!
You want success? January 20, 2017 (Trump day) it was at 19,732.40. That's a 58% jump in the four years of Trump
No.
Stop using that new progressive liberal math book and use a real one.
January 21, 2021 DJIA----31,188.38
October 14, 2021 DJIA---34,912.56
Not 20%, and what you originally claimed--based on the article, was it was up 20% for the week.
Neither of your made up numbers have been correct.
The same people who only a year ago told us that the Dow doesn't reflect middle class conditions. Now all they have left is the Dow, which has been up and down like a yo-yo.
20%%%?????
In what convoluted new math book are YOU using to figure our WTF 20% is?
Is this that new progressive liberal math or something???
Here are the real, FACTUAL numbers--not some made-up bullshit:
Accurate??
Accurate???
Really?
LMMFAO!
And it's only up 5,000 since January when it was 30,603. Hardly 20%
Math is hard for some of us, apparently.
Any excuse to post that silly-assed meme again for the 50th time.
Ah, the 'week that was', another in a slew of weeks where 'republicans' did no wrong ... Guiness should be contacted with this remarkable record.
Now, if only you could quote where the article says anything of the sort..................................................................................................
What is not said is louder than what is.
Go to any of the anti Trump, anti Republican state voting bills, anti Republican anything. They are everywhere on NT. You shouldn't have any trouble finding them.
Unless you can dispute one thing he states you are simply trolling.
This
Only in some people's fevered imaginations.
It's that old pendulum affect. You know, 2017 through 2020 the Democrats could do no wrong. Don't ya just hate when that happens?
Trust me, I found (saint) Jody Iowa's partisan 'week that was' columns to be just as inane and in the end counterproductive. You were there and you know it well. The resulting frog fight was something to behold.
Waiting to be kissed by Juliette's avatar.
Ahhh the good old days.....sort of LOL
You can lick my avatar if you want. I use lotramin preventative foot powder to prevent Athlete's moose.
Should read
What could be more fun than trolls bashing trolls ...
In Jody's 'defense', she did push the punctuation around.
Haha .. fair point : )
I have a question for you regarding what is happening at the US southern border and Canada .. are you guys taking any of the Haitians?
If they speak french, Quebec will.
Awww .. do Afghans speak French? : )
Don't forget - they need to speak perfect French. Do let us know how many you are taking.
A great question!
I was just able to sit down and look up a few articles on the subject as recent as October 12th .. as of yet there are no Haitian refugees being accepted into Canada, but that Quebec and Ottawa are being urged to take Haitian refugees .. and apparently there is a large Haitian community in Montreal.
I am kind of surprised they are not taking any at this time, Canada was quick to take in Afghan refugees .. Trudeau seems to be big into humanitarianism
In a weird way.
Those that worked with Canadian Forces may well do so.
Utter nonsense, do you have any more to further stupify our readers?
I will need to talk to a close family friend who works for Immigration Canada.
Ooo nice, I am interested to hear what you are able to find out.
Till then ...
Where will Canada’s 401,000 immigrants come from in 2021?:
We can send you several million illegal immigrants from the US. We won't even miss them, as more are always coming, and we have a President and Democrat congress that don't care about the southern border or US immigration laws.
The left is in charge.
... and your crocodile tears have turned into a dystopian deluge. Breaks my heart almost enough to toss you a roll of paper towels.
The GOP did 'no wrong' because they did nothing.
That was the underlying gist of my comment.
Forgetting about the 1.5 trillion dollar bipartisan infrastructure that the Senate passed already?
Democrats hold all the power; and are going it alone. You can bitch after midterms when the Republicans hopefully resume control of the House and Senate. If follow the Democrats lead if will be the 24/7 impeach Joe Biden and his wreck his cronies show.
Point out what the Democrats are doing that is so great? Don't even try their inflation spiking porkulus reconciliation bill that has nothing to do with infrastructure, and everything to do with social engineering.
When did Peppermint Patty answer the questions that rally matter to the public? Time to "Circle bank" and provide the answers.
I had to look this up for a legal definition and found this, thought it was worth sharing..
You get the prize today. I already had the seat at the head of the class reserved for you.
Haha .. thanks Vic!
You had a big week.
I'm curious. What part of that do you think is not true? Have the poor and underprivileged ever had a hand in creating law?
What a strage idea, that class groups create law. I wonder where you got it?
Perhaps from history Vic.
You know, from the 'Founding Fathers', all professionals, either businessmen, physicians, lawyers, writers or politicians who didn't include the un-landed and female citizens in their codification of suffrage.
It's pretty clear that with the cost of running for office today, the poor and underprivileged still don't have much to say about the making of law.
In other words you want to re-write the Constitution?
Don't even try to put words in my mouth Vic.
NOTHING in my comment could have lead you to that ridiculous conclusion.
It may be a few years before people on the left actually say it.
As far as I'm concerned there is only one reason anyone would defame the writers of that document.
I'm on the 'left' and I ALREADY said it Vic. You tried to put false words in my mouth. STOP.
I have no concern for your concerns Vic.
Yes, I know.
I guess that Cornell Edu somehow missed the Soros connection.
I read this, it did not make sense to me so I sought out a legal definition of Critical Legal Theory .. interestingly enough, I did not attempt to make a connection .. Ooops my bad!
Since there is no connection between Soros and CLT, you'd be wasting your time. Vic just pulled that from his nether regions.
It is becoming increasingly obvious that Jennifer Psaki's pronouns are he, him, and them.
Yeah, another week that was, right Vic? And the GOP did--what?
Listened while Democrats fought amongst themselves and still refused to pass the real infrastructure bill they had previously agreed to vote on and pass?
Tried do get an accurate accounting of the aliens released into the US, and of those who have crossed illegally while the Biden Administration does virtually nothing?
Read about the lawlessness permeating through liberal bastions like Seattle and San Francisco?
You bet!
A great seed. The article is right on on every issue covered within it.
