 The Gateway Pundit reported earlier today that Joe Biden made an unexpected trip to Walter Reed for a physical examination. Biden's poor health has been particularly scrutinized ever since Special Counsel Robert Hur released a damning evaluation in his report on Biden's stolen classified documents investigation earlier this month. O'Connor concluded, despite Biden's obvious physical struggles, he is "Fit for duty and fully executes all of his responsibilities without any exemptions or accommodations." The doctor proclaimed that Biden "Feels well, and this year's physical identifies no new concerns." O'Connor also said this year's physical included consultation with several Presidential Specialty Consultants who "Concurred" with his findings. The White House was probably scared of the results, knowing they would doom Biden's re-election bid for good. The report also acknowledged Joe Biden's stiffened gait, persistent cou...

 So two weeks later, the BLS has realized precisely the error that it made, and as Bloomberg reported today, the US Labor Department's statistical agency "Sowed confusion" on Wall Street this week with an email about a key factor behind the jump in January's CPI index A Tuesday email to a group of data "Super users", seen by Bloomberg, suggested a surge in a measure of rental inflation - which left analysts puzzled - was caused by an adjustment to how subcomponents of the index are weighted. Adding to the speculation that the data has been rigged and we are witnessing yet another conspiracy in action, one recipient said the BLS Statistics tried to retract it and that they were told to disregard its contents. Which is bad news for Biden as explained above, hence the following bizarre email sent out by the BLS: It wasn't immediately clear who or what is a BLS "Super user", but it was obvious that the BLS is now in damage control mode, trying to ...

 Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Wednesday announced plans to step down as GOP conference leader in November, marking an end to his more than 20-year stint in Senate leadership that saw the U.S. accumulate a mountain of debt. "One of life's most underappreciated talents is to know when it's time to move on to life's next chapter," he said on the Senate floor. McConnell has served as GOP leader since 2007 after serving as party whip since 2003, at which time the U.S. national debt stood at $6.783 trillion. "[T]he turtle he announced today he's retiring, at least stepping down from his leadership role in the Senate in November. I want you to remember this, because when he came to power in 2003, as Senate Majority Whip, he was billed as a fiscal conservative," Just the News Editor-in-Chief John Solomon said on the "Just the News, No Noise" program. Solomon went on to highlight the disparity between the national debt at the start of M...

The seven-count New York City fraud lawsuit has been a years-long mess. I'm no lawyer, but I have done business, so I took a look at Judge Engoron's 92-page ruling from the perspective of a prospective investor in New York. The judge ordered ongoing and preemptive oversight of all Trump business dealings, as well as prohibited normal business from being conducted by all the defendants. Given the judge's concern about New York's reputation, what has the business community in New York City and around the world learned from Judge Engoron and Ms. James? That disagreements over a commercial property's present and potential value, even when the bank's independent review prevails in determining the value, can constitute fraud in the eyes of the city. Aging New Yorkers continue to move to warmer climes, as they have done for decades; only now the Boomers are the largest generation, and these departures are being felt more strongly. The very high state and local taxes co...

 Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has announced he will be stepping down from his perch atop the Senate GOP after what will be the longest tenure as a leader in Senate history. Some Senate Republicans have given conciliatory responses to McConnell's departure. Senator Rick Scott of Florida released a statement suggesting McConnell's departure offers a big opportunity for the Senate GOP. "I have been very clear and have long believed that we need new leadership in the Senate that represents our voters and the issues we were sent here to fight for. As everyone knows, I challenged Leader McConnell last year. This is an opportunity to refocus our efforts on solving the significant challenges facing our country and actually reflect the aspirations of voters," Scott said. McConnell took to the Senate floor and said, "I still have enough gas in my tank to thoroughly disappoint my critics and I intend to do so with all the enthusiasm with which they've become a...

America experimented with the lives of millions of children during the pandemic and sacrificed their mental health to satiate adults' fears. Dr. Phil hammered home how our COVID-19 response created more harm for American children than the virus we were attempting to protect them from on ABC's "The View" Monday. "In '08, '09, smartphones came on, and kids stopped living their lives and started watching people live their lives, and so we saw the biggest spike and the highest levels of depression, anxiety, loneliness and suicidality since records have ever been kept, and it's just continued on and on and on," lamented TV personality Phil McGraw. "And then COVID hits 10 years later, and the same agencies that knew that are the agencies that shut down the schools for two years. Who does that? Who takes away the support system for these children?" He couldn't help continuing: "And by the way, when they shut it down, they stopped the ...

He has frequently challenged corporate media and the medical establishment to debate with him and the UK Covid Inquiry has so far refused to allow him to give evidence. You can find a copy of the video HERE and you can read a transcript HERE. Over a thousand readers so far have responded and have sent the Inquiry a copy of his video. Dr. Coleman is renewing his call in the hopes that if enough of us do it, it will force the Inquiry to let him give evidence. Last week I asked you to send a copy of my latest video to the British Government's official covid inquiry - a long-running and expensive attempt to find the truth about the handling of covid-19. The British Government's official covid inquiry is taking evidence from everyone with something to say about the covid fraud. If enough people send the inquiry the video maybe we can force the lawyers to allow me to give evidence - and to prove that they faked a disease, faked a test and faked a cure. Please send the covid enquiry a...

 Federal and state officials in California are allegedly ignoring the radioactive waste dumped into the Pacific Ocean off the Southern California coast, even after new reports reveal it is even worse than expected. According to the Los Angeles Times, researchers discovered that the thousands of barrels of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane disposed of into the ocean were not contained in barrels. A map from the International Atomic Energy Agency shows that the United States dumped "More than 56,000 barrels of radioactive waste" into the Pacific Ocean in 25 years until 1970. Newsom has been busy spending billions on clean energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, even though carbon dioxide is proven not to be a carcinogen, unlike DDT or even wildfire ash. The radioactive waste crisis harms marine life and could also pose a threat to people living nearby, so it demands urgent attention and the allocation of resources. News for more stories about radioactive waste being found i...

 So shrugged the ancient historian Livy of the long decline of Roman national character that, in his age, finally ended the Roman Republic. We also know that restoring deterrence by arresting, convicting, and jailing repeat felons will return safety to our streets. In an age of self-congratulation and hyper-environmentalism, we know that a million homeless defecating, urinating, injecting, and assaulting on our downtown sidewalks and storefronts is medieval. We know the cure lies in building and staffing more mental institutions and providing areas far from public spaces where the homeless can find shelter, sanitation, and medical care. Most know it is wrong to try to remove a leading presidential candidate from state ballots. The paralysis of American society extends to our foreign policy as well. We fear more the nasty, costly business of stopping its aggression. https://amgreatness.com/2024/02/29/american-paralysis-and-decline/

 This group called themselves "Scientists For Science." As the name suggests, they were effectively the "Boys will be boys" of science calling to let scientists do science. Let Scientists be Scientists, Boys be Boys - don't draw red tape around enrichment of uranium or enhancement of civilization-ending pathogens, just give academic scientists more funding and freedom despite the lack of industrial or defensive benefits and the astronomical risks of such work. Who do we find among the co-founders of Scientists For Science but Ron Fouchier and Yoshihiro Kawaoka? Joining their ranks are names worth mentioning given their role in our predicament today: Christian Drosten, Vincent Racaniello, David Morens, Cadhla Firth, Stephen Goldstein, Ian Lipkin, Volker Thiel, Friedmann Weber, four additional scientists at Erasmus University who are close collaborators with Marion Koopmans, and more. Scientists For Science attempted to center themselves as "Science," an...

 Judicial Watch announced today it settled its 2014 Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, which sought the emails of then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton regarding the Benghazi attack. On March 2, 2020, U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth authorized Judicial Watch to depose Clinton about her emails and the existence of relevant Benghazi attack documents. "The Clinton email scandal uncovered by Judicial Watch's simple FOIA lawsuit changed the course of American history and led to Hillary Clinton's defeat in 2016," stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. "Our historic lawsuit is now officially over and settled through a remarkable payment of $97,000 by the corrupt State Department. Hillary Clinton ignored the law but received special protection from both the courts and law enforcement. For countless Americans, this double standard of justice destroyed their confidence in the fair administration of justice. Americans would never have known about Hillary Cl...

Children who didn't receive the COVID mRNA injections are healthier than their vaccinated counterparts, a top doctor told a Senate briefing. Speaking at a roundtable meeting on vaccine injury coverups hosted by Sen. Ron Johnson this week, Simpson University biology professor Dr. Brian Hooker explained how research shows children who follow the FDA's recommended vaccine schedule have a much higher risk of experiencing adverse health affects. Infowars.com reports: "Independent researchers have assessed the outcomes of vaccinated versus unvaccinated children," Dr. Hooker declared, adding, "This demonstrates that vaccinated children were at least twice as likely to be diagnosed with developmental delays, ear infections and gastrointestinal disorders." Graphs presented by Dr. Hooker depict vaccinated children studied had higher incidences of developmental delays, asthma, ear infections and gastrointestinal disorders. "For each of the autoimmune neurodevelopm...

So why now? Why $150 MILLION now? Is Dimon selling perfectly at the top? That remains to be seen, but what we know for sure is he perfectly bought at the bottom: In other words, I'm following this guy! Here are more details, from the NY Post: JPMorgan Chase chief Jamie Dimon cashed in about $150 million of his stock in the bank - the first time the head of the largest US lender has sold shares since taking charge in 2005. Dimon, one of the longest-serving chief executives on Wall Street, unloaded 821,778 shares of JPMorgan, according to an SEC filing Thursday. A spokesperson for JPMorgan confirmed to The Post that "This was the planned sale of less than 10% of his holdings that we announced last October." Jamie Dimon in a suit gesturing as he speaks during a Senate hearing on Wall Street firms. US heading to 1970s-style stagflation, JPMorgan Chase strategists warn Chase sued over 'unconscionable and predatory' junk fees for depositing checks that bounce JPMorgan s...

 A central bank digital currency is much more than electronic money. A central bank digital currency would be directly issued to your account held at the central bank. Central bank digital currencies are likely to be a computerized rendition of the French Assignats. Central bank digital currencies are unnecessary and dangerous. The primary arguments for considering a central bank digital currency are efficiency and enhancing the transmission mechanism of monetary policy. Introducing a central bank digital currency is unlikely to reduce economic risks or stimulate productive investment but will encourage short-term malinvestment. Cryptocurrencies have emerged due to a lack of trust in fiat currencies and the ongoing efforts of central banks and governments to devalue currencies in order to conceal underlying fiscal imbalances. https://www.dlacalle.com/en/why-central-bank-digital-currencies-are-unnecessary-and-dangerous/

 Let's explore each of these elements in more depth and see why the state apologist's lament of "Who would care for the roads?" really should be "Who would care for the roads so abysmally and have the audacity to steal to do it?". In addition to being funded involuntarily through the violence of taxes, government roads departments often provide substandard service and even worse results, which is usually my first point when someone brings up the mindless gotcha of "Who will take care of the roads without government?" Well, judging by the condition of the roads I see, I'm not sure who is taking care of them right now. More specifically, spending per capita seemingly has, at best, a tenuous connection to road quality, but why is that? Most proponents of big government take it as axiomatic that spending and results are completely correlated, but even without the overwhelming data to the contrary, such a belief is specious on its face. Without comp...

 The journal Cureus on Monday retracted the first peer-reviewed paper to provide an extensive analysis of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine trial data and post-injection injuries. The paper, published last month, detailed the vaccines' potential serious harms to humans, vaccine control and processing issues, the mechanisms behind adverse events, the immunological reasons for vaccine inefficacy and the mortality data from the registrational trials. "I am suspicious that Kersjes and Springer Nature were pressured by the powerful Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex of coordinated public health organizations, vaccine manufacturers, and regulatory agencies to censor our paper to keep critical vaccine safety information from getting to the medical community."We rejected the retraction, fully appealed and will report this unethical action to all relevant authorities as we move on to publish elsewhere. The letter from Kersjes specified concerns with claims the authors made about all-cause mortality d...

Using our abductive reasoning skills if it looks like a communist, acts like a communist, and quacks like a communist, it's definitely a communist. Here's this, from a report out at the New York Post today: Eric Adams sports Chinese Communist Party scarves - but says they're just innocent gifts Eric Adams has been repeatedly seen wearing the scarf, which represents the blood of the Chinese Red Guards who gave their lives for Communism, in the last few weeks. On Saturday, Adams was seen wearing two red scarves around his neck at the first annual Brooklyn Lantern Parade Saturday, and he wore another red scarf in Manhattan's Chinatown on Sunday. From other news, we learn that it wasn't just Adams, but Chuck Schumer too! As you can see, Schumer and Adams shared a stage with several concerning individuals, but most relevantly, "a senior consular official linked to China's secret police station in New York." If you recall, it hit the mainstream news last yea...

 The City of Denver has informed workers that it may be furloughing them-technically still employing them at 0 hours of work-to illegally hire illegal aliens without work permits. As Denver faces a budget crisis due to 40,000 illegal immigrants arriving in the last year, the city is using its resources to get the migrant population employed, warning hourly workers that they may lose hours to illegal immigrants and using the public school system to help the illegals get work permits, according to emails obtained by The Daily Wire. Denver's 9 News reported on Monday that the City of Denver warned its workforce of job cuts, reporting that while the city "Says it is NOT laying off employees to pay for the migrant crisis," it "IS telling hourly employees they may have their hours reduced to zero." Sen. John Hickenlooper told the outlet that because companies are generally barred from hiring illegal immigrants, the city may simply start hiring illegal immigrants itsel...

 The Washington Post continues to outdo itself in generating downright idiotic takes to defend President Joe Biden's trashy economic record, even if it means whitewashing the worsening border crisis. "The economy is roaring. Immigration is a key reason," celebrated The Post in a nutty Feb. 27 headline. For border states like California and Texas, for example, the crisis was costing both states $21.76 billion and $8.88 billion respectively per year "In education, health care, law enforcement and criminal justice system costs, welfare expenditures, and more." But The Post still wielded its distorted talking points to make Biden look like he's somehow playing economic 4-D chess by capitalizing on a horrendous national security crisis to buoy the economy. "Whoever wins the election will take the helm of an economy that immigrant workers are supporting tremendously - and likely will keep powering for years to come," read The Post Pravda. This spike in f...

 Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez defended Hunter Biden while he was behind closed doors testifying before the House impeachment inquiry on Wednesday. Hunter is a material witness in the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, who denied involvement in the Biden business at least nine times. C-SPAN The House investigation previously found a massive web of wire transfers, 20 shell companies, and associates who helped the Biden business rake in at least $24 million from foreign nationals over the course of approximately five years. House investigators launched the probe into the Biden family in November 2022. They revealed Joe Biden received money from James Biden and Hunter Biden. Hunter claimed Wednesday his father's involvement in the Biden business is merely a "MAGA-motivated conspiracy" despite mountains of evidence. Hunter notably did not say Joe Biden was not involved in the business.  https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/02/28/abuse-of-public-power-aoc-defends...

 A Fulton County judge has set a March 1 date for final arguments on whether District Attorney Fani Willis should be disqualified from the case. Fulton County Superior Judge Scott McAfee has set a March 1 hearing date for final arguments on whether District Attorney Fani Willis should be disqualified from the election interference case against former President Donald Trump. The hearing, the result of which could see Ms. Willis replaced with a different prosecutor, is set for 1 p.m., and is expected to be live-streamed, as with most Fulton County proceedings. Ms. Willis testified before Judge McAfee on Feb. 15-16, where she faced heated questioning over her relationship with top prosecutor Nathan Wade, amid allegations that Ms. Willis benefited financially from the relationship. Both Ms. Willis and Mr. Wade have denied any financial benefit from their relationship, while insisting their relationship started in 2022, after Ms. Willis had already hired Mr. Wade for the job. While both...

 Sen. Mitch McConnell will step down as Senate GOP leader in November, ending a record 17-year tenure at the helm. Mr. McConnell has been Senate GOP leader since 2007. Mr. McConnell has been in the Senate since 1985. As it pertains to being the leader of the Senate GOP, Mr. McConnell said, "It's time for the next generation of leadership." In response to a question from The Epoch Times in September, Mr. McConnell, who had recently experienced two "Freezing" incidents in which he appeared unable to speak, said he had no plans to step down as senator or GOP leader. The announcement comes just weeks after Mr. McConnell and most Senate Republicans voted against a package that included aid to Ukraine and Israel in addition to border security measures. "We will [have] many opportunities to thank Leader McConnell for his leadership & work for our GOP conference I've worked [with] Mitch for 39yrs & he's a good friend A protector of the institution o...

 A report published on February 14 revealed that the Chinese Communist Party is continuing to target and enslave Uyghurs through an expansion of forced labor in China. Forced labor systems in Xinjiang - punishable by detention for non-compliance - are a key part of removing resistance and opposition to the CCP's absolute authority and power. "Xinjiang's recent policy changes have rendered forced labor less visible and more challenging to conceptualize," Zenz wrote. "Uyghur forced labor is becoming both more prevalent and more insidious." The law prohibits goods made by the Chinese Communist Party's forced labor programs from entering the U.S. market. First, the members wrote, "Companies transfer forced laborers from [Xinjiang] to other regions in the People's Republic of China, complicating enforcement of the presumptive ban on forced labor products from [Xinjiang]." Additionally, "A second factor undermining enforcement of the [law] i...

Praise for Bidenomics from some media sources might lead people to believe our economic situation has never been better. A gallon of milk that cost $3.12 during the Trump presidency now costs $4.01, a 29% increase. During the Trump presidency, the average price increase for goods and services was a modest 7.6% over four years. Black workers experienced $65.70 increase in real weekly earnings in the Trump era compared to $28.80 in the Biden era. Hispanic workers experienced $47.20 increase in real weekly earnings in the Trump era compared to $7.80 in the Biden era. Is Bidenomics working? For the millions of struggling Americans grappling with inflation, stagnant wages, and unattainable housing, the answer is a resounding no. It's time for policymakers to wake up to the harsh reality facing everyday Americans and take meaningful action to address the economic challenges squeezing the life out of the American dream.  https://www.realclearpolicy.com/articles/2024/02/28/bidenomics_is_ba...

 Drug approvals by regulators are often based on poor clinical data, researchers find. Whether it's thalidomide, recalled in 1961 after being linked to severe birth defects, or Fen-Phen, the "Miracle" weight loss drug that was withdrawn in 1997 for causing pulmonary hypertension, history has shown us that regulatory approval does not mean that a drug or intervention is truly safe. In that study, which was published in the journal BMJ Open, researchers concluded that most of the decisions to approve new drugs, medical devices and procedures are not based on solid clinical data - and it has been that way for at least two decades. The researchers based this assessment on 400 appraisals made by the U.K. drug regulator the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence, although the Food and Drug Administration in the U.S. does not have the best track record, either, recalling 14,000 drugs in the last 10 years. Their appraisal involved 384 drugs, along with 14 medical device...

It's hardly surprising that almost half of all teachers reported they "Desire or plan to quit or transfer their jobs due to concerns about school climate and school safety," per a 2022 study by the American Psychological Association. A 2021 Heritage Foundation survey asked if defunding school resource officers would make schools safer, and just 7% of teachers responded affirmatively. An Ed Week Research Center poll from 2020 showed that, when asked if armed police officers should be eliminated from our nation's schools, only 20% of teachers, principals, and district leaders completely or partly agreed. The Chicago Board of Education has just voted to approve a resolution to remove police officers from its schools by the beginning of next school year. A better solution would be to ditch suspensions and, instead, if a kid breaks school rules, make him come to school early or stay late, or possibly expose him to some lectures on Saturday morning. Larry Davis, deputy head...

Feeling the heat from farmers dumping manure in front of government buildings across the Continent, European Commission President Ursela von der Leyen is pumping the brakes on a pillar of the European Union's Net-Zero climate policy and withdrawing an EU-wide bill that would force farmers to reduce the use of chemical pesticides by 50% by 2030. Forced Transition to EVs "First, EVs are significantly less reliable and more expensive to purchase, repair, power, and maintain than combustion engine vehicles, making them impractical and ill-suited to working farms. Farm equipment must be durable and capable of operating in all weather conditions," the Buckeye report points out. "The Biden administration's efforts to force farmers to adopt electric equipment ill-suited to farming and to replace natural gas generators with unreliable renewable energy sources is a recipe for unsustainable farming. Unfortunately, Washington's central planners seem oblivious to that stu...

"The green movement calls for a shutdown of coal and gas power plants. At the same time, it demands a switch to electric vehicles, electric home appliances, and green hydrogen produced by power-intensive electrolyzers. This and the AI revolution portend a breakdown of the so-called energy transition." These goals conflict with efforts to promote electric vehicles, electric appliances, and a new application that will increase the demand for electric power. Michigan's electrical power in 2022 was generated by gas, coal, nuclear, with wind and solar at 12%. Michigan plans to close its gas and coal plants, which provide 63 percent of the electric power, while also retiring nuclear plants. In 2022, 60 percent of US electric power was generated by coal and natural gas. Shutting down coal and gas plants while promoting electric vehicles and heat pumps will produce electric power shortages. Two additional trends will drive electric power demand. Data center power consumption will...

 Venial means it is a forgivable "Sin." One just needs the proper behavior to be forgiven. Some groups - no matter how despicable their behavior - are approved and protected by the state. Other groups - no matter how clean-cut their behavior - are not. Lockdowns are a marked departure from the idea that government exists to protect its citizens' rights, private property, and to mediate disputes without violence. Rather, the lockdown model of governance is the idea that the government can mandate behavior, and, that if you are to deviate from the approved behavior, then you forfeit your rights. He started the process of government punishing exceptionally normal behaviors. Behavior is important and actions always belie words. https://brownstone.org/articles/ruled-by-the-capricious-whims-of-politicians/

Last summer, the Biden administration announced an $850 million conditional loan to a company called KORE Power to build a battery production plant in Arizona. The purpose was to decrease the United States' reliance on China's batteries, but KORE Power has enlisted its co-owner, a Chinese battery maker, to help build the taxpayer-funded facility, according to court filings. The records reveal that KORE is 14 percent co-owned by Do-Fluoride New Materials, a Chinese battery manufacturer led by Chinese Communist Party official Li Shijiang. The department said it conducted "Extensive due diligence" of the arrangement, adding that KORE has been working to reduce its Chinese ownership, with the goal of eventually becoming completely independent of Chinese technology. KORE's relationship with the Chinese battery maker is at the center of a legal dispute in Idaho. Chinese financial records show that KORE has paid DFD at least $70 million over the past four years. "KO...

 If we ask, "What's changed?," two under-appreciated dynamics pop out: risk and consequences: risks are rising globally in a multi-dimensional self-reinforcing way, and the consequences of the Federal Reserve's 14-year policy error known as ZIRP-zero interest rate policy-are finally manifesting in unwelcome ways. The Federal Reserve's 14-year suppression of interest rates to near-zero as it opened the floodgates of credit has finally generated consequences: inflationary pressures can no longer be put back in the bottle, for a variety of reasons, including unfavorable demographics, global changes in supply chains, resource depletion, and so on. Now the economy is dependent on historically unprecedented low rates of interest or it collapse in a heap. The economy is an open, dynamic system, and rock-bottom yields and interest rates generate self-reinforcing feedback loops that generate forces beyond the Fed's control. The Fed's apparent control of yields and ...

 Twenty-two state attorneys general said Monday more than 85,000 migrant children could be lost based on a report from the Department of Health and Human Services. The report issued this month shows many of the children could be in the labor market or sex trafficked, they said in a letter. "By law, the Department of Health and Human Services is responsible for keeping these children safe when they arrive," the attorneys general said in their letter. The attorneys general said the Biden administration needs to find the missing children. They are asking Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra and FBI Director Christopher Wray to provide information on when the children were last seen and what safeguards are in place to ensure they are placed with family members. "The Department of Health and Human Services must ensure that it is not handing over children to criminals and sex traffickers," the attorneys general...

 The killing last Thursday of a 22-year-old Augusta University College of Nursing student - who had been out for a run near her old alma mater, the University of Georgia in Athens - has stirred interest in the national media, both because of the shocking and senseless nature of that crime and because the suspect is a Venezuelan migrant who entered illegally in September 2022 only to be released into the United States. On February 24, the day after Jose Ibarra was arrested for the killing of Riley, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp sent a letter to President Biden seeking answers about Ibarra's immigration status. In any event, the sections of that article that don't pay tribute to Riley's life are largely a back-and-forth on which of the two parties bears responsibility for the border crisis that enabled Jose Ibarra to enter and remain in the United States - the Biden administration for its migrant release policies, or former President Trump and the GOP for rejecting a proposed Senat...

 She was trying to make the case for Congress to pass another $61 billion dollars for the neocons' proxy war project in Ukraine and she was throwing out the old slogans that the neocons use when they want funding for their latest war. Americans are waking up to the lies of the neocons and more and more are realizing that there is no "We" when the neocons are trying to sell another war. Was Washington "Defending democracy" when Nuland and the rest of the neocons successfully overthrew a democratically elected government in Ukraine in 2014? It's getting harder and harder for the American people to choke down the war lies of the neocons. In the same interview, Nuland said she was confident that when House Members return to session next week, "After they've been out in their districts hearing from the American people," they will vote to send the $61 billion to Ukraine. Americans no longer support the neocon war project in Ukraine. Perhaps in a last...

 According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' latest price inflation data, CPI inflation in January accelerated, and price inflation hasn't proven nearly as transitory as the regime's economists have long predicted. There's still no sign that the rate of price inflation is approaching zero or going away. The dangers of persistent price inflation were further driven home in January by the fact that real wages turned negative for the first time in nine months. Apologists for the administration continue to insist that inflation is "Falling"-or even slowing-even though price inflation has continued to surge upward. The Biden administration would have us believe that inflation is going away because the CPI's measure of price inflation has somewhat stabilized around 3.2 percent over the past six months. During the Super Bowl, for example, President Biden released a video statement attempting to blame corporate greed for "Shrinkflation." This claim is j...

 Add Macy's to the long list of Union Square retail stores that have closed recently - the department store announced this week that it would close 150 locations in the coming years, including its flagship store in San Francisco. The store has been on its Union Square block since 1929 and will stay in operation until Macy's finds a buyer for the building. San Francisco supervisor Aaron Peskin said he was "Devastated" by Macy's decision to downsize and "Invest in a small-format model" instead of wasting money on unproductive stores. Macy's cited slow sales as the reason for closing so many branches, and San Francisco officials confirmed that the department store did not cite safety concerns as its reason for leaving Union Square. San Francisco's flagship Nordstrom closed last year, and since then, department stores have exited downtown in masse. It'll be difficult to recognize Union Square in the coming years without Macy's trademark holid...

Special Counsel Robert Mueller's lawyers, despite all the pre-investigational hype and hagiography, spent 22 months and $40 million to find no evidence that the Russians swung the election to Trump. In one of the notable political scandals in recent history, the present National Security Advisor and former Clintonite campaign operative, Jake Sullivan, used various surrogates to promote the lie that there was some sort of secret "Backchannel" electronic "Ping" communications between the Russian Alfa Bank and the Trump campaign and Trump Organization. On March 6, 2009, in Geneva, to great fanfare, Hillary Clinton, the U.S. Secretary of State, gave Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov a red plastic button with the word "Reset" in English and, sort of, in Russian, to mark a supposed new partnership. Five years later, Vice President Joe Biden admitted that 'reset' was an utter failure, given the 2014 Russian invasions of the Donbass and the Crimea...
