Welcome to the Recession, Thank You Democrats
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 6/20/2022 5:27:44 PM
One of the most popular definitions of recession was coined by economist Julius Shiskin in 1974. In his view, two consecutive economic quarters of negative gross domestic product (GDP) growth meant the country was in a recession. Sadly, based on this description, America is on the verge of entering a recession. In the first quarter of 2022, our nation’s economy contracted by 1.5%. As we approach the end of the second quarter, the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta just estimated that there will be a 0% growth. If we fall just one tenth of a percent, it is officially a recession.

Well, it happened. The Republican Party decided to play nice, try to get some good press with a media establishment that hates them, and join the legions of the righteous and blessed by hashing out a gun control bill during a midterm election cycle. Is everyone up there hitting the crack pipe? What are we doing? What the hell is this? We have category five hurricane gusts to our backs heading into November—and the GOP decided to do what it does best: find a new way to blow it.
The economy is primed to enter a recession as the second-quarter report is bound to show another period of economic contraction.
A new, two-story afro pick statue was unveiled in New Orleans on Friday in honor of Juneteenth, but while Mayor LaToya Cantrell called the structure “breathtaking,” not everyone sees it that way.
"As Juneteenth approaches, we celebrated with an unveiling in Lafayette Sq," Cantrell tweeted about the 24-foot tall hair pick that has a clenched “black power” fist on top. "This sculpture is very fitting for this time & place as we celebrate the freedoms that we have gained We know that it doesn’t come without struggles, fights, and protests for 200+ years."
The imposing pick is part of the Monumental Tour, a traveling exhibition of large-scale outdoor works by Black artists.
As Katie reported, the Supreme Court sided with school choice advocates on Tuesday in a 6-3 decision regarding voucher programs in Maine. [Tweet]
Predictably, as with any victory for individual freedom — and especially in dealing with parents' choice of where their children get an education — the mainstream media and liberal activist organizations have not been taking the Supreme Court ruling well. Most of the unhinged wailing centers on the supposed "separation of church and state," which is invoked dubiously to claim that allowing parents to choose where their children attend school means that religion is being forced by the government. But, that's just not true,
End Vaccine Mandates for Summer Travel

Last Friday was the busiest travel day of the year so far, but hundreds of thousands of airline passengers were stranded by flight cancellations. Including last Thursday, more than 35,000 flights in the United States were canceled or delayed over the holiday weekend.
Nearly a third of all flights last Thursday and Friday were late in arriving. At least those travelers ultimately reached their destination, except where delays caused passengers to miss a connecting flight and then be stuck overnight in an unfamiliar city.
Hundreds of passengers were grounded at the Atlanta airport for more than 24 hours. One mother with an 11-month-old daughter was stranded without infant formula,
Soccer star Megan Rapinoe says parents need to realize their children’s sports just aren’t “that important.”
The former Subway spokeswoman gave a recent interview in which she chastised parents for making a big deal out of trans athletes in girls’ sports.
“I would also encourage everyone out there who is afraid someone’s going to have an unfair advantage over their kid to really take a step back and think what are we actually talking about here,” the 36-year-old said. “We’re talking about people’s lives. I’m sorry, your kid’s high school volleyball team just isn’t that important.”
Joe Biden seems to be saying the quiet part out loud a lot lately, raising a lot of questions.
He made a telling comment the other day about who is making up his mind [Snip] When he was asked about the vaccines for children under age 5, he said he would be asking Congress for more money for that. But he said they also needed more money for something else. [Video] “We need more money to plan for the second pandemic. There’s going to be another pandemic,” Biden said. “We have to think ahead. And that’s not something the last outfit did very well.
It’s amazing how much holier-than-thou Democrats can become when it suits their political interests. Last week, the activist media published a series of “bombshell” reports revealing that Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker, a Republican, has kids that he has not publicly discussed. To anyone with a modicum of intelligence, it was a desperate political ploy to lessen his chances of defeating Sen. Raphael Warnock in the upcoming congressional elections.
But there is one glaring problem: Nobody cares.
That’s right. Nobody buys the handwringing coming from the left about Walker’s children. But they’re trying to make the issue stick anyway.
Florida voters dodged a bullet in 2018 when Ron DeSantis narrowly beat Andrew Gillum — then considered a rising star — to become the governor of Florida.
Their trajectories couldn’t have been more different after that race.
Gillum’s career blew up after he was found inebriated in a hotel with a man who was suspected of having overdosed on crystal meth. Meanwhile, DeSantis has gone on to do great things for Florida and is now a highly-touted as a possible presidential candidate for 2024.
NBC reported on the indictment that is related to fraud during the campaign and noted he’s retained Marc Elias for his defense.
The Case for Donald Trump 2024
32 replies
Time for some real talk. There are a lot of Republicans with doubts about President Trump running again in 2024, and you hear it often when conservatives gather together. They worry that him going Grover Cleveland could spoil a sure thing, but that’s not necessarily so. Whether you love Donald Trump, or whether you doubt him – if you hate him, shut up and go back to the Bulwark offices with the other losers – you need to look hard at the facts. We’re not progressives who let our feelz control us, and we must ruthlessly assess our own potential courses of action
Joy Behar, co-host of ‘The View’ has claimed that voting rights are being taken away from African Americans. She made this claim during an episode celebrating Juneteenth and provided no evidence to back up her bold claim.
Watch the video below to see her in action: [video]
Joy Behar said: “We should be aware on a day like this that voting rights are being systematically taken away from African Americans and other people too in this country… It’s a good day to reflect on that, I think.”
However, Behar’s comment lacked any evidence or information to back it up. She did not voice concerns over any particular politics, bills,
Dr. Anthony Fauci, fresh off of an epic beatdown in the Senate from Senator Rand Paul, is back with a warning for America about the fizzled out Covid-19 pandemic. It’s not over yet. Watch: [video]
“Hopefully, the more people that get vaccinated and boosted and the more people that realize the importance of when you have a high level of viral dynamics, that when you’re in an indoor setting, you should wear a mask, even though the whole world including the United States and the U.K. are just worn out and tired by this outbreak, it isn’t over yet,” Fauci warned.
President Joe Biden was asked about the issue of tariffs on China during his calamitous bike trip on Saturday. This is when he gave a soundbite that has to be seen to be believed: [video]
“Have you made up your mind on China tariffs, sir?” a reporter asked him.
“We’re in the process of doing that,” Biden replied.
“You’re lifting the tariffs?” a reporter inquired.
“I’m in the process of making up my mind,” the president said.
“OK,” said the reporter.
“Ready to sign it and I’m ready to go,” Biden added.

Only a “massive” and immediate scaling-up of funds and humanitarian relief can save Somalia from famine, a UN spokesperson has warned, as aid workers report children starving to death “before our eyes” amid rapidly escalating levels of malnutrition. In a message to G7 leaders who are meeting from Sunday in Germany, Michael Dunford, the World Food Programme’s (WFP) regional director for east Africa, said governments had to donate urgently and generously if there was to be any hope of avoiding catastrophe in the Horn of Africa country.

Barack and Michelle Obama's multiyear deal with Amazon's podcast platform Audible is worth at least $20million, experts have claimed.
The couple will have to contribute two shows and appear in up to eight episodes each, the industry insiders said.
The move will give the former first lady the scope to make less personal appearances than what was wanted under their former partnership with Spotify, the sources said.
Audible said the pair plan to use their new platform to 'tell stories that elevate diverse voices and and experiences'.
The Obamas cut ties with Spotify after reportedly clashing with the streaming giant over exclusivity and how much they were expected to appear in episodes.

Joe Biden on Wednesday delivered remarks on soaring gas prices from his fake White House set in the South Court Auditorium.
Biden repeated the same lies in his speech and blamed Vladimir Putin for high gas prices.
“Let’s remember how we got here: Putin invaded Ukraine,” said Biden.
This is a lie.Gas prices spiked before Putin invaded Ukraine. [Chart] Even Biden’s Fed Chair Jerome Powell on Wednesday fact-checked Biden’s lies on rising prices.
“I promise you I’m doing everything possible, everything possible to bring the price of energy down,” Biden said.
CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin ignored recent examples of progressive violence when he went on "At This Hour With Kate Bolduan" on Wednesday to condemn "the pervasiveness of right-wing violence."
Toobin appeared on a panel discussing the ongoing Jan. 6 hearings and potential connections to former President Donald Trump. In the latest hearing by the Jan. 6 Committee on Tuesday, state officials testified that they received several threats and attacks from people after refusing to overturn the 2020 election results.
Toobin argued those threats were further proof that "right-wing violence" is now pervasive throughout the country.

More than 21 million paper tax returns are still waiting for processing by the Internal Revenue Service, as the tax agency struggles to swiftly disburse refunds to American households, according to a watchdog report released on Wednesday. Most taxpayers file their returns electronically, but millions of others — disproportionately the elderly — still fill out their returns manually. National Taxpayer Advocate Erin Collins said in her report that the IRS backlog this year is 21.3 million paper returns, 7 percent more than the 20 million that were awaiting processing at the same time last year. The report may add to the political
Elections will not legitimize any government if they are rigged. We must end the absurdity whereby a private corporation can be hired to count our votes and then refuse to prove to us exactly how it got the final numbers. If the system is not completely transparent and auditable, you can never be confident in it. You can be completely justified in suspecting that it is fraudulent. When the public no longer trusts those who count the votes, then the outcome will be chaos.
The 2020 election was rigged, but it is not up to us to prove that.

Vandalizing Posters in Capitol; DOJ won’t Prosecute 21 replies
A congressional chief of staff was caught vandalizing property within the Capitol Hill complex, but despite recommendations for criminal charges from Capitol Police, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has refused to prosecute him.
Just The News reports that 51-year-old Timothy Hysom, the chief of staff for Congressman Jack Auchincloss (D-Mass.), was arrested by Capitol Police after he was caught on surveillance camera footage defacing posters outside the office of Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) in the Longworth House Office Building.
Capitol Police additionally revealed that they believe Hysom to be involved in as many as seven different incidents of posters being defaced outside Greene’s office
Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney has become a resistance superstar, joining the ranks of other previously despised individuals whose hatred of former President Donald J. Trump has redeemed them in the left’s eyes and she is going to need their help to stave off defeat in the upcoming Wyoming primary.
Cheney’s vicious attacks on Trump as well as her leading of the J6 select committee that is currently conducting an unfair, one-sided show trial against him has earned her the anger of voters in the staunchly conservative Cowboy State where barring a miracle, she is a political goner.
