The Scariest Developments to Watch Out
For in 2023
Posted By: Imright, 1/13/2023 11:00:52 AM
I believe most people hope 2023 is a better year than 2022. But I am not counting on it. In just the past two years, our national government has spent roughly $13 trillion and authorized spending trillions more. Politicians use words and phrases like "investments," "long-term savings," "reducing inflation," "protecting Ukraine's sovereignty," etc. to justify this. Clearly, they are either lying or living in a fantasy world. Most of the money is being used to pay off campaign contributors and special interest groups, such as the climate change lobby, or to make politicians look good. Inflation spiked to nine percent in June 2022, so the Federal Open Market Committee began raising interest rates to fight it.

He doesn’t want to give her his bad name.
Hunter Biden asked a judge to deny his 4-year-old daughter from taking his surname — claiming it’s a lightning rod for criticism and would rob the child of a “peaceful existence.”
The first son’s request on Jan. 6 came amid an ongoing paternity case against him in Independence, Ark., where Biden is fighting to lower his child-support payments to baby mama Lunden Roberts for their love child, Navy Joan Roberts.
Roberts, 31, asked Circuit Court Judge Holly Meyer on Dec. 27 to allow their daughter to take the Biden name,
Former President Donald Trump has been seething on his Truth Social account as a third batch of classified files from Joe Biden's Vice Presidency are found at his Delaware home.
Critics have been quick to compare the situation to the FBI raid at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, where authorities sought to collect classified materials after his lawyers falsely claimed that he had returned all the documents in response to a grand jury subpoena.
Trump is seen to argue that Biden keeping classified documents is much worse than what he did saying Mar-A-Lago is 'essentially an armed fort.'
On Friday’s edition of NBC’s “Now Tonight,” White House Council of Economic Advisers member Jared Bernstein argued that America’s government debt doesn’t weaken the country.
Host Jake Ward asked, “For those of us at home, the idea of having debt sounds like a very, very bad thing. … What I want to ask you here is, is [Speaker Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA)] right, does our debt as a nation make us weak?”
Bernstein responded, “Not at all. First of all, the key point there though — and I will — again, I’ll answer your question, but I think the House leader is engaging in a kind of sleight of hand
Democrats are worried the controversy surrounding the classified documents found in Joe Biden's home and office could damage a 2024 reelection bid, as Bill Clinton's former advisor said this is 'very, very big deal' for the president.
The president's attorneys announced on Saturday that five additional documents were found in the room adjacent to the garage - where the first set was found - at his Wilmington, Delaware, home. This is the third set found in Biden's possession and a total of 16 overall.
While Republican lawmakers celebrate it as another chink in Biden's armor, Democrats are said to be secretly worried
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre falsely claimed Thursday that the search for President Joe Biden’s classified documents was completed Wednesday night.
The White House is having difficulty portraying an accurate timeline of when classified documents have been unearthed from Biden’s residence in Delaware.
“The search was concluded last night,” Jean-Pierre claimed Thursday in a press briefing. “He [Biden] is confident in this process.”
That timeline was contradicted Saturday when the White House admitted five more documents had been found Thursday.
Members of Congress collected more than $800,000 in salary during the chamber’s protracted speaker fight — during a period when they technically were not members.
The pols officially become members of Congress — leaving behind the title of Rep.-Elect — when they are sworn in by the Speaker of the House. The event usually takes place on Jan. 3, the Constitutionally mandated start of each new Congress.
Even re-elected incumbents must be sworn back in every two years for their “member” status to be current.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) is not going to let the Biden White House off the hook after classified documents were found at President Joe Biden’s Delaware home.
On Friday, Comer pressed Biden’s legal team demanding a list of names and locations linked to the search of documents that were kept in the president’s garage and office.
The Republican also asked for a list of security clearance levels, and the job titles of any aid attorney assigned by Biden to search for the private papers among his personal belongings.
This comes a day after Comer said that the Biden Administration has a “history of covering things up.”
The Arizona Court of Appeals has ordered an expedited conference to be set for February 1 in Kari Lake’s historic lawsuit to overturn the botched election in Arizona.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that the court scheduled the morning of January 24 for a conference and oral argument in Kari Lake’s appeal against Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson’s dismissal of her lawsuit to overturn the 2022 Midterm election.
I’ve been a Republican voter in Massachusetts for over forty years.
I also suffered from another malady - being a lifelong Boston Red Sox fan. As you can imagine, I was pretty used to ‘my team’ always losing, whether championships or elections. Then, along came the 2000s. The Curse of the Bambino had been broken at last, and I finally began to see the truth behind blue-state politics: That miracles can happen.
For many years, I believed the conventional wisdom – that there were just a lot of foolish, uninformed Democrat voters up here.
I watched my state legislature do things that everyone seemed to hate.
The fact that President Joe Biden is seemingly embroiled in a scandal didn’t stop him from taking yet another weekend getaway, but his destination of choice left Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy wondering, “isn’t that a potential crime scene?” (Video) During Friday’s White House press briefing, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was more than reluctant regarding the topic of classified documents from Biden’s time as vice president located at his former office at the University of Pennsylvania’s Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement, and his home in Wilmington, Delaware. Referring questions from friendlier reporters to the Department of Justice and legal counsel,

JAMESTOWN, NY — In this small town — about as far as one can get from the southern border without entering Canada — residents are bracing for an influx of migrants that could cause a crisis similar to the one that has New York City facing a fiscal cliff.
“If a city of 8 million people can be overwhelmed by a couple thousand migrants, imagine what a couple hundred can do to overwhelm a small rural community upstate?” warned state Sen. Joe Borrello (R-Jamestown).
“It wouldn’t take many migrants to overwhelm the system,” he added.
At least 35 migrants from Colombia are known to have arrived in the tiny upstate city
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) told reporters Thursday that he intends to release all the security footage from the January 6 Capitol riots.
“I want to be very thoughtful about it, but yes, I’m engaged to do that,” McCarthy told reporters (Snip)
McCarthy continued:
I think the public should see what happened on that day. I watched what Nancy Pelosi did, where she politicized it. Where for the first time in the history as a Speaker, not allowing the minority to appoint to a committee. We watched the politicization of this. I think the American public should actually see what happened instead of a report

Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) suggested Thursday that someone might have planted caches of classified documents at President Joe Biden’s private residence and former academic office in an effort to frame him.
Fox News’ Hillary Vaughn (via Chad Pergram) reported
The remark came as news broke Thursday of a second cache of classified documents that his attorneys found at his garage — next to his prized Corvette — after a first cache was found Nov. 2, 2022 at the Penn Biden Center.
A third cache — consisting of one document — was also found during Biden’s attorneys’ search, Fox News reported.

In an exclusive interview with CNN's Jake Tapper, former House Speaker Paul Ryan discusses the future of former President Trump and the Republican Party.

The Canadian Girl Scouts have dropped the name Brownie in favor of Embers after the term was deemed 'racist' and 'offended' some of its members.
The name change was announced by Girl Guides of Canada on Wednesday to create a more inclusive space for the seven and eight-year-old girls branch, according to a news release by Girl Guides.
'With this new name we're showing girls that what they say matters, and that Girl Guides is a place for everyone to belong,' according to a tweet Girl Guides posted.
Girl Guides of Canada said they decided to change the name of their branch in November after current and former members claimed

Then-President Donald Trump discussed dropping a nuclear bomb on North Korea and pinning the blame on another country during closed-door meetings in 2017, according to a new edition of a book about the 45th president’s administration.
Trump’s scheme — amid his tense standoff with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un over Pyongyang’s missile tests and aggressive threats to target the US mainland — alarmed then-White House chief of staff John Kelly, according to an added afterword to “Donald Trump v. the United States,” written by New York Times reporter Michael Schmidt.

The United States Army took a serious hit to recruitment last year, something they’re trying to come back from by expanding a program to prepare out-of-shape applicants for basic training.
As the world stares down Russian and Chinese aggression, military preparedness is at the forefront of the country’s mind. Unfortunately, 2022 saw the Army fail to meet its 60,000 soldier enlistment goal by a shocking 15,000. In an effort to bolster its numbers, top brass announced the expansion of the Future Soldier Preparatory Course, a boot camp for out-of-shape recruits who want to meet the fitness requirements maintained by the military.
The ladies on “The View” were in typical form on Thursday as they whined about how inconvenient the burgeoning Biden classified documents scandal was interfering in their hoped for efforts to somehow get President Donald Trump. In the process, they implied that somehow the documents may have been planted. (Video) “You know what I think? I’ve never seen a luckier person than Donald Trump. Just as we’re this close to getting him, somehow these documents appear!” Joy Behar complained. That in itself is so delusional on so many levels. That she thinks like so many Trump Derangement Syndrome folks that this time they’ve finally got him.
A third batch of classified documents was found at President Biden's residence in Wilmington, Delaware, the president's attorneys announced Saturday. Special counsel to the president Richard Sauber disclosed in a statement that five additional pages of documents with classified markings were found at Biden's home Thursday evening, making a total of six classified documents retrieved from there.
Sauber explained that when Biden's personal attorneys identified one classified document at Biden's home on Wednesday, they "immediately" stopped searching for additional documents because they lacked the security clearances necessary to view those materials.
I was thinking yesterday that we haven’t heard much about this recently. Today the Wall Street Journal reports there has been some progress in narrowing down the list of suspects but still no definitive conclusion.
A day after the draft opinion was published last year by Politico, Chief Justice John Roberts assigned the Supreme Court’s marshal, Gail Curley, to investigate the leak. The court has released no information regarding the investigation since then. Little has emerged elsewhere, apart from a demand from investigators in June that justices’ law clerks sit for interviews and surrender their cellphones, prompting several of the three-dozen clerks serving in May
With staff picks like Kamala Harris and Karine Jean-Pierre, you have to hand it to the mush-mouthed and increasingly senescent President Joe Biden for knowing exactly whom to hire to make himself look like the smartest person in the room.
Just ask him; he’ll tell you how smart he is. Actually, on a good day, you don’t even have to ask him. He does tend to go on (and on) about his mostly imaginary accomplishments and prowess.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said the U.S. will hit its debt limit on January 19, at which point the Treasury Department will take “extraordinary measures” to avoid default.
She called on Congress to raise the debt ceiling as soon as possible, with the government on track to max out on its $31.4 trillion borrowing authority next week. Without intervention, the government could be left unable to pay its bills by June.
“It is unlikely that cash and extraordinary measures will be exhausted before early June,” she wrote in a letter to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) Extraordinary measures include delaying some payments, including contributions to federal employees’ retirement plans, to free
In one of their final acts in power, House Democrats secretly passed through a rule change that will see lawmakers in the lower chamber get a $34,000 pay raise.
The new rule, proposed by Democrats on the House Administration Committee, allows House members to be reimbursed for the cost of lodging, food and travel while on official business in Washington DC.
It was tucked into the House's internal rules, rather than in annual spending bills, and therefore was not debated on the House floor, according to the New York Times.
