Sundance over at CTH had a short post of the meaningless theatre that Washington engaged in recently to come to an agreement on increasing the debt ceiling. Before I post Sundance’s comments, please note that more Democrats voted for the measure than Republicans did (165 to 149). That alone tells the story.
Did Kevin McCarthy just cave into the Deep State with the deal that supposedly he brokered? Whose pockets are getting filled with this latest boondoggle? How much money is going to wind up in the coffers of the RNC to be used to try to stop PDJT from being the nominee? Who else in Washington will benefit financially from this so-called deal?
Let us always remember the price of freedom. A tribute to our fallen soldiers who fought for our freedom.
For anyone who has been paying the least bit of attention, once again the country is approaching its debt limit. This has been talked about for several months. The Democrats, who want to spend the country into oblivion, have refused to discuss the reining in of any spending on the part of the federal government. Until very recently they have refused to entertain the idea of even talking about spending and any curtailments of that.
In the meantime, the Republicans have passed a bill extending the debt ceiling while incorporating cuts in some federal programs. None of these cuts would affect the big programs like Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security. The cuts did affect things like the 87,000 additional IRS agents that would be sent to harass middle America.
Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has refused to even consider such a bill in the Senate that would entail any decreases in federal spending or even slowing the increase in spending. The Democrats seem to believe that they can do whatever they want to without there being any consequences for their recklessness.
I am certain that when Jim Jordan decided to hold Judiciary Committee hearings in NYC over the increase in criminal violence there, the Democrats thought they would trot out some of their favorite talking points and would score big with the local public. How did that work out?
Silicon Valley Bank was closed by bank regulators on Friday. In an unusual move the closure took place during the business day and not after the markets had closed. Its failure was the second largest in US history and the largest since the financial crisis of 2008. On Sunday Signature Bank was closed as well.
Dr. Tom Woods has reported on the appearance of Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger in front of the House Select Committee. I have reproduced his report on Taibbi’s opening statement below.
In a House Judiciary Committee meeting today, journalists Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger testified about the kinds of issues they uncovered in the so-called Twitter Files, which revealed an outrageous collusion between government and Big Tech in the suppression of dissident voices.
Matt Taibbi is firmly on the left, and Shellenberger voted for Biden. These are not partisans. But, of course, the general run of journalists has either stayed silent about the ridiculous attacks on them or actually joined in. Why, Taibbi and Shellenberger aren’t working for the team!
Many Americans believe that the January 6th events were staged. Much has been made of the fact that certain individuals were seen agitating and riling people up, entering the Capitol with them and then selectively being ignored in the mass arrests that were made. Nancy Pelosi had a camera crew in the Capitol to record events. The J6 Unselect Committee was designed to keep the public’s attention away from the election fraud that occurred.
Few people had really reviewed what happened inside Congress on that day. Regitiger has published a piece that is worthy of review and thought. Please bear with the misspellings and punctuation errors. This piece deserves careful consideration.
The length of time that campaigning for the presidency in this country goes on is ridiculous. However, as some say, it is what it is. The campaign season for both the DNC and the RNC is well underway. For the RNC their issue is how to stop the juggernaut that is the MAGA movement.
Facebook parent Meta Platforms Inc (META.O) has delayed finalizing the budgets of multiple teams as it prepares a fresh round of job cuts, the Financial Times reported on Saturday. More than 11,000 jobs had been axed back in November. That happened at the same time as Amazon and Microsoft announced the elimination of thousands of jobs.
I guess this is the job that Biden said on Tuesday that he wants to finish. That being the destruction of the US economy.
