The newest Gallup polls tell us that our confidence in two facets of the news media has fallen to all-time low points. “Just 16% of U.S. adults now say they have ‘a great deal’ or ‘quite a lot’ of confidence in newspapers and 11% in TV news.”
Russia has annexed four provinces that were formerly part of Ukraine. Ceremonies have been held in Moscow celebrating these events. This was done after the provinces held referendums on which country they wanted to be part of.
What I have written above are the facts as they exist right now. There is no bias to these facts. There is no ideological bent to these facts. Where there is disagreement is in the stated results.
Russia claimed that the result was favorable to them. The West claims it was all a fraud. In war everybody lies about something.
The Dementia Triplets had a banner week this past week. Each of them made a notable contribution to the Dementia Hall of Fame.
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5 and Part 6 of this series have highlighted how specific activities have dissolved the rule of law and shown the corrupt nature of secret courts and ubiquitous surveillance.
PDJT continues to call out the corruption in the swamp that is Washington. PDJT continues to stand for all Americans. This post speculates on just what the evidence is that PDJT has.
During the George W. Bush years, Glenn Greenwald rose to prominence for his opposition to the White House’s record on civil liberties.
Oh, the left wing establishment loved him. But Greenwald is a not a one-side-of-the-aisle critic. When it comes to outing government repression to the disinfecting rays of sunshine, Glenn is an equal opportunity critic.
Recently Greenwald published a thread on Twitter. Here he describes exactly what’s going on with the suppression of dissident voices. This is not “they’re private companies; they can do what they want.” Greenwald lets a flood of sunlight onto the dark crevasses of Big Tech/government collusion.
The Biden administration’s student loan relief scheme has gotten a lot of press. But there is an item that needs to be noted about this wave of the presidential wand. And that is outside the fact that Biden is trying to bribe voters to vote Democratic.
The new wrinkle, and one that’s sure to send politicians scrambling, is how some of those who get their loans “forgiven” may owe state taxes on what effectively becomes income. Again, from Bloomberg:
Residents of New York, Virginia and eleven other states could end up with a surprise tax hit of hundreds of dollars next year on forgiven student loans.
President Joe Biden’s announcement that the government would forgive some student debt for individuals earning less than $125,000 was welcome news to many carrying large loan balances. But 13 states have laws that treat this forgiven debt as income, meaning that it’s subject to state levies on earnings.
This entire episode is a reminder that there’s no such thing as a free lunch.
For voters with eyes wide open, voting has become a crap shoot. It appears that all Democrats have converted to taking care of themselves without any regard for the public. Voting for one puts the entire country at risk. Voting for someone on the other side of the aisle, in other words a Republican, has its own risks. Too many in Washington have become UniParty loyalists. And that is also problematic. Then there are the social consequences of being identified as a MAGA Republican voter.
The Dutchman has an interesting insight into all of the third world antics that the Democrats have been engaging in.
WARNING: SATIRE AHEAD
“WEST PALM BEACH- -High level Chinese asset and sex trafficker Hunter Biden breathed a sigh of relief as an FBI raid team passed by his West Palm Beach vacation home to raid Donald Trump’s residence in Mar-a-Lago.
“Whew! Thought they had me for a minute there,” Biden sighed, according to sources before going back to smoking crack with a hooker on a pile of cash freshly delivered by Chinese agents. “Glad to know the FBI is still working for my Dad!”
The FBI arrived at Mar-a-Lago shortly after, but things got awkward after the FBI raid team ran into the FBI evidence planting team due to a scheduling mistake.”
The following is a post by one insightful Larry Gilson about the raid on PDJT’s homer in Mar-a-Lago. It is worth careful consideration.
