Biden, the killer president – When the tally of all the deaths resulting from his announced policy of abolishing our southern border is calculated, the numbers will now reach well over a 100,000 annually during his term in the White House.  The deaths occur on both sides of what used to be our border.  Thousands have died trying to make it from their native countries before reaching the US, thousands die in transport after crossing over, but the overwhelming number of Biden deaths occur all over the land in America from drug overdoses.  The major cause now is Chinese-produced, cartel-delivered fentanyl that daily floods into the US in amounts that can kill our entire population.  Local jurisdictions are overwhelmed with the number of overdosers dying and requiring critical care (example here).  And the primary cohort of victims is made up of our black, Hispanic, and Indian populations.  Reading the NYT this morning, and monitoring other lamestream outlets, there is no mention of this national emergency of deliberate, ongoing, and cataclysmic human tragedy and flaunting of America’s border and immigration laws.  From the Left nothing but silence and ongoing lies about systemic racism, white supremacy, and social injustice.  If ever there was a reason to impeach the entire executive branch as criminal sacks of … .

Woke medical schools have arrived.  Mandatory woke ideology and CRT curriculum has now infected another STEM field – medicine.  “Future doctors will be obliged to learn how health relates to ‘systems of oppression.’” (more here)  Medical students and residents will be expected to master new “diversity, equity, and inclusion competencies” according to the Association of American Medical Colleges.  These additional courses will be required in all accredited medical schools.  And make no mistake, including this added curricular crap is going to displace real medical education required for today’s physicians to keep up with the rapidly accelerating technology that impacts all aspects of healthcare.  Today’s physicians are already woefully behind on diagnostics, treatments, and pharmacology, as can be verified by any patient with some technical training.  From here on out, according to the AAMC, “aspiring doctors will have to become fluent in woke concepts such as ‘intersectionality’ (defined as) overlapping systems of oppression and discrimination that communities face based on race, gender, ethnicity, ability, etc.’ Med students who managed to avoid learning critical race theory in college will now get an immersive course.”  Medical mistakes already take more than 200,000 lives annually (here).  And when we calculate the new stats on medical morbidity and mortality, all of us will pay for this next helping of death by government.  Socialism on the march.

[31jul22 update]  President Newsom without a single cast vote.  People are now beginning to accept the likelihood of Biden’s early retirement; something that has been often foretold on these pages.  All the Democratic and socialist leadership of our country don’t want Bumblebrain to run in 2024, and everyone knows that the country’s First Kackle is a joke and will remain a joke.  A feasible and likely scenario has Kamala being offered big bucks (by, say, Soros) to resign and accept a position on the board of a global leftwing organization, purportedly working to save the world from one of many capitalist ills.  Kamala understands that it’s the best deal she can get after her embarrassing performance as VP – she accepts and resigns.  Ol’ Joe is then spoon-fed the reason for his early departure, and the need to make a deal with a compliant and drooling Gavin Newsom.  Newsom becomes VP, and soon thereafter Bumblebrain resigns for health reasons.  Newsom becomes president and immediately pardons every available Biden within that terminally corrupt family.  Newsom appoints his VP – someone like Stacey Abrams or one of the other well-known double dummies.  They go into Dems’ 2024 convention as incumbents, and to loud cheers and lamestream adulation, they emerge as the Democratic candidates for the party’s top of the ticket.  The scenario is perfectly legal and already tested by Richard Nixon when his VP Agnew was caught holding a sack of cash that didn’t belong to him.  Gerald Ford became VP, and the rest is history.

Speaking of double dummies, consider those sharp-witted journalists on the various rightwing media outlets starting with FN and FB interviewing the legion of liars that the administration fronts as their economic experts.  For decades, recession has been defined as two successive quarters of GDP contraction.  This definition has been used by the Fed, ensconced in economics textbooks, and touted by every politician over the last fifty some years.  Biden’s mangling of our vibrant economy during 18 months in office now requires rejection of the established definition.  We’re told by Team Biden and their lamestream lackies that the old definition was never correct (even though everyone is on tape having used it).  They tell us that recession is a more complex matter that has a technical definition which is never mentioned by the leftwing economic experts.  But what’s missing from all these interviews is the question that always goes begging – well then, tell us what is the correct definition of a recession.  There has not been a single journalist with the wherewithal between their ears to immediately ask that question when a Democrat again moves the recession goal posts.  Am I the only one who has noticed this dereliction of journalistic professionalism?  Please tell me it ain’t so.

George can you at least provide the names of the legislators who "want to pass a law prohibiting such blatant enabling of a favored political party."?

Your quote George.

I give Punchy a break. When looking up Randi Weingarten’s latest rant last night, I had to go through four pages of Google to find out what she said one day ago in my search. It don’t come easy.

It’s a lot of work, man. Probably the most honest thing Psul Emery has say in many moons is “never heard of Zuck bucks.”

The Lefties are always the last to know. At least you threw the dog a bone, but from the Daily Wire, a Not To Be Trusted source. Paul must be a hard man to shop for a Christmas present to give him.

I guess still not easy as just whining for it. Maybe you could make up a sign and people could provide you with information while they are briefly stopped at intersections.

I doubt it'll hold him very long. His modus operandi is to demand to be fed what he's thought of to ask about to derail the conversation.

No problem psul…..looking forward to hear more stories about your adventures in 🇮🇪 Ireland.

Twenty four (and counting) of the fifty states have now passed legislation to outlaw Zuck Bucks.

Punchy, I can recognize an insincere thanks when I read it.

Imagine the low life weasel who tried tried to tell us here that the economy is NOT in a recession. Imagine someone that ignorant. What a moron.

Rogan Slams Democrats For Trying To Claim Economy Is Not In A Recession: ‘What A Bunch Of Weasels’

They can spin all they want but those who are suffering will be motivated voters -

This coincides with a recent Suffolk University/USA TODAY survey, which found that 4 in 10 Americans are force to cut back on basic goods like groceries due to inflation.

The results come as Americans grapple with 41-year high inflation in Biden’s recession, as the country experienced two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth. In the second quarter of the year, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) shrank by 0.9 percent

This is problematic for Democrats as the midterm election moves closer, since 34 percent identify price increases and inflation as the most important issues facing the country today, followed by 29 percent who agree it is the economy and jobs. Additionally, inflation stands as the greatest concern for Americans, according to the survey.

A Rasmussen Reports survey released on Wednesday spelled further trouble for Democrats, as most believe the country is in a recession and that Democrats are to blame

‘Inflation Hammering Rural America, 91% Of Income Used Just To Live, Study Finds’

Hmmm. Well, no wonder credit card debt has soared. People saved money during the pandemic, staying at home, going out less, learning to cook, saving on trips to the beauty salon, burning less gas, etc.
I saved money during the Corona virus. Government sending me checks, cell phone carrier and auto insurance company cutting my rates without asking. Spent less and saved more.

But now those savings are gone. Whatever I saved on one end went out the window on the other end….due solely to inflation…aka the Putin Tax. Damn that Putin with Joe Biden in his back pocket.

What do you do when the savings are gone? Paper or plastic? Plastic, have no greenback dollars.

PaulE 739am - Paul, I have no idea why, in these discussions, you want to continue embarrassing yourself by showcasing your narrow purview of the news and your inability to do even the most basic internet research. As other commenters have pointed out, had you just googled something as basic as ‘legislators opposing Zucker Bucks’, another vail of ignorance would have been quietly lifted without your having to advertise its previous presence.

THE GEEK IN PICTURES: OVERDUE HOMEWORK EDITION
Needless to say when I go away for more than a month, I’m going to fall behind on my semi-regular look at the world through the lens of charts and graphs.

• Let’s start with our non-recession “recession.” The jobs news last Friday—over 500,000 new jobs—virtually guarantees that we’ll be in an undeniable recession within a year. Unemployment is usually a lagging indicator of a recession, and a lot of the job market statistics these days are distorted by the peculiar rebound from COVID.

The big jobs number Friday assures that our mindless Fed will continue rate hikes until morale improves. Other current signs show the impending slowdown, such a consumer confidence, building inventories, and expectations in the crucial manufacturing sector (oh, don’t get too excited about gasoline prices starting to fall—it might not mean what you think):
