Caught Red-Handed: Mainstream Media Covers For Joe Biden - America Insider

In addition to the national debt, the evening networks chose to downplay the U.S. Census Bureau's report indicating a 4.6 percentage point increase in the U.S. poverty rate to 12.4 percent in 2022, the highest level since 2010.

Sure wish those proclaiming the mass "success" of Bidenomics would explain this fact. 

kind of hard to claim success when we are falling further in debt and further into poverty.

I know, I know, it is just 'temporary', right, Joe?

Almost 7% of federal outlays will go just to pay interest on the debt.

And people are silly enough to think debt doesn't matter!

And people are silly enough to think debt doesn't matter!

When you are not responsible for paying the debt, it doesn't matter.

This is why we need better representation in charge of our taxpayer dollars.

For one thing, the vast majority of our elected officials are just too old to ever worry about the consequences of their legislation.  

The article below has a map and a list of the ages of representatives by state.  

A Hill to die on: Map reveals how old every state's elected officials are compared to their constituents amid calls for term limits... so use our interactive tool to see what age YOUR representatives are | Daily Mail Online

Americans are gearing up for another election next year — and they'll likely be choosing between   two of the oldest presidents  ever again.

Age has become a central issue this election cycle following a spate of high-profile 'senior moments' including two Mitch McConnell   freeze  episodes.

Aside from   Joe Biden , 80, and   Donald Trump , 77,  US politicians on   Capitol  Hill are older than ever, and there are growing calls for term limits in the House and Senate.

At the top of the list for the widest age gap is  Idaho , where the median Idahoan is 37.2 years old — but the average politician is more than 70 years old.

Following Idaho were Maryland, Wyoming, Utah, and Vermont. 

While the nation's capital doesn't have a governor or senators, Washington, D.C. Representative Eleanor Holmes Norton is 86 years old — making her around 51 years older than the   median D.C. resident . 

New Census Bureau data found that the median age in the US is now 38.9 - the  oldest the country has ever been . 

According to   a recent poll  from The Economist and YouGov, 76 percent of American adults supported the idea of having and publicizing mental competency tests for representatives aged 75 and older.

Surveyed adults   also supported implementing  an age limit ceiling to serve in office, with 76 percent saying there should be a limit for the president, 73 percent saying there should be a limit for senators, and 72 percent saying there should be a limit for representatives.

I fully support mandatory retirement ages for members of Congress.

How about the Supreme Court and other government officials?

Fine with me!

In fiscal year 2022 alone, the federal government spent a staggering $6.27 trillion, equivalent to one-fourth of the GDP ($25.02 trillion).

And Democrats want to spend even more.

Bidenomics is smashing records!

And Democrats want to spend even more.

Just read an article about the Democratic Dallas mayor switching to Republican party.  

Democratic Dallas mayor switches to the REPUBLICANS: Leader of one America's fastest growing cities flips - and says urban areas need a GOP choice | Daily Mail Online

• Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson announced Friday that he is switching to the Republican Party 

• Johnson served in the Texas House for more than a decade as a Democrat 

• He argued in a Wall Street Journal op-ed that American mayors should champion 'law and order' and fiscal conservatism  

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Some Democrats are wising up to the failures of the Biden Administration.

While others still have their heads up their asses.

I wonder what the NYC voters will do next election if the federal government doesn't pay for their migrants?  

Migrants are raking in $3,000 a month as they work illegally as delivery drivers and send their kids to local schools while living in NYC's luxurious Roosevelt Hotel | Daily Mail Online

Asylum seekers in   New York City   have been raking as much as $3,000 a month working without work permits while living free-of-cost at The Roosevelt Hotel, where they get free food, bedding and even cleaning services.

The historic Manhattan tower,   dubbed 'the new Ellis Island ' by one city official - has become the registering point for the migrants who arrive by bus in the city after crossing the US-Mexico border in   Texas . Many of them have been bused north by   Republican   governors fed up with what they say are open-arms policies by   Democrats .

The hotel is among many in Manhattan that have been designated to house migrant families with children, who have started attending schools in midtown this Fall. The city is currently paying about $385 a night per migrant family that needs housing and feeding. According to Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine, asylum seekers are costing the city roughly $10 million every day.

DailyMail.com spoke to asylum seekers outside the Roosevelt on Friday, just hours after several buses arrived, and learned many of the migrants living in the shelter have been working as delivery drivers illegally, using dozens of scooters without plates that have become a common sight outside the iconic location.

A 24-year-old Venezuelan man, who identified himself only as Jhon, said he and other men living in the shelter are making as much as $1,500 every two weeks by delivering food and other items - even though they don't have working driver's licenses.

I wonder what the NYC voters will do next election if the federal government doesn't pay for their migrants?  

I suspect the majority will hold their noses and ignore the failures of the Biden Admin. and keep on voting for Democrats en masse.

Maybe, if the NYC mayor follows Chicago's lead and builds tent cities for the migrants?  Or is this another case of political corruption and ineptitude bilking taxpayers and wasting their money?

Biden's open border policy is very expensive for the taxpayer and very lucrative for the companies providing products.

Company building tents for Chicago migrants faces scrutiny – NBC Chicago

The mayor’s administration is planning to enter into a $29 million contract with Garda World to construct tents for the purposes of sheltering migrants, a decision made without debate in the City Council.

Some of those questions surround the company’s role in the crisis. Garda World is not only contracted to build the tents, but has also been responsible for bussing migrants to the city, a conflict that has raised eyebrows, including those of Ald. Ray Lopez.

“I don’t think we know enough about any of this situation, least of all who we are getting in bed with to address the migrant situation,” Lopez said. “Just finding out that we’re paying the same company responsible for shipping them here, to now be in charge of taking care of them, is like having the fireman both set the fire and extinguish it at the same time.”

Questions also arose due to the company’s failure to secure a contract in Denver, which pulled out of the deal due to “concerns (that grew) about the international company’s history of alleged abuses and mistreatment, as well as its lack of experience in sheltering migrants,” according to a statement.

 According to terms of the contract, Garda will be responsible for providing security, three meals a day, daily child care, van transports to school and doctors’ appointments, and laundry services.

The tents are supposed to be capable of withstanding colder temperatures, maintaining 70-degree temperatures even when the mercury outside is 40 degrees, but Lopez expressed skepticism that the solution will stand up to Chicago’s winters.

“The fact that we’re spending $29 million on a tent city solution that probably won’t even function in subzero weather, Chicago style, is just amazing to me,” he said.

As of Thursday morning, there are a total of 8,307 migrants in city shelters, with nearly 2,000 awaiting placement.

Like the commenter in 2.1.1

He's a politician responding to the gerrymandering done by Republicans. He needs to change his label to stay relevant. Here's a map of the Dallas area before and then after adding huge number of rubes to the urban and suburban area. The suburbs used to be largely Republican, but that changed; so Republicans move to dilute their votes.

Oh, FFS.

Surely you know that elections for mayors can not be gerrymandered, don't you???

That post is wildly inaccurate!!

You may not have noticed this, but Republicans won't work with Democrats -- the incredible Republican incompetence on display right now in the Federal House shows they can barely stand each other. Eric Johnson has been pushing down crime in Dallas as mayor. Changing parties won't affect his style, it will make it possible to work with Republican Congressmen that will likely result from the gerrymandering.

When have you seen Democrats work with Republicans?

You seem to have an unusual 'understanding' of how governments work.

The mayor doesn't have to work with Congressmen.

You said he changed parties because of gerrymandering, which is totally bizarre and flat-out wrong.

The FY23 deficit will only be $1.7T since SCOTUS stopped the Biden student debt program.
