Blood On His Hands

grampslcf June 23, 2021 1 Comment

Does Dr. Fauci have blood on his hands? Yesterday I talked about the infiltration of our government by people who have only one thing in mind and that is self-enrichment through overseeing policy, manipulating such policy and trading on the knowledge gained therein.

Today, I will take a closer look at the absolutely corrupt actions that led to the deaths of thousands of people. And sadly, that scrutiny starts with Dr. Fauci. I say sadly because Dr. Fauci’s high school education was at one of the best private high schools in the country. The school’s mission is encapsulated in the motto “Men for Others.” It is about transforming Catholic young men into generous leaders with a passion for service. Dr. Fauci appears to have forgotten all of the lessons imparted during his time there.

There Are Trillions At Stake

The title is a catch phrase often used by Sundance over at CTH regarding activities in Washington that do not align with the best interests of everyday Americans. On Sunday Sundance published an excellent article that connects the dots to the massive influence wielded by certain people. Such influence is used to control what this country does and through that the world. And it is no exaggeration. There are trillions at stake.

Random Thoughts

The administration announced plans to create ways for American to rat on each other. Ostensibly this is to fight “domestic terrorism.” Of course, “domestic terrorism” is defined as opposing the policies of the current government.

The administration has noted several times that “white supremacy” is the number one threat that this country faces. “White supremacy” is defined as any actions that oppose the current government’s objectives in turning the country into one big slave plantation. The political entities with the “correct” philosophies would be exempt from such reporting.

The Department of Homeland Security plans to work with tech companies to help combat “malicious content online that bad actors deliberately try to disseminate.” Again bad actors will be defined to be anyone who espoused a different philosophy than the ruling junta in Washington.

It’s Up To Us

Christopher Cantrill over at American Thinker has done an excellent piece on the real intents and purposes of our Democratic rulers. In it he brings out the fact that most of our so-called policy experts are just interested proposing policy solutions not in actually making them work. Cantrill proposes that everyday Americans need to stand up and take our country back.

After Biden: It’s Up to Us

Some of us might believe that limited government is the real foundation of true liberty. Of course, that would upset the “natural” order of things. As Cantrill notes:

The economy is cratering. Sex is no longer biological. Gas lines like those during the Carter administration are back. The border is a mess. Children are dying trying to cross the border after Joe Biden invited them in. Israel is at war with Hamas. As usual, the Democrats are siding with Hamas. Drug cartels do not see the border as any impediment to their distributing drugs in this country. China is bullying just about everyone in the South Pacific. Iran is desperately trying to create a nuclear bomb. Gangs are stealing weapons from our military. Election fraud is being exposed. The government is paying people not to work. Antifa is still rioting in certain areas of the country.

So what is the biggest threat to America? According to the Attorney General, Merrick Garland, a member of the Woke Supremacist Democratic Party, it is white supremacy. While testifying to Congress last week, Garland specifically referred to the January 6^th “insurrection.”

Is Massive Inflation Just Ahead?

Are we headed to inflation the likes of which we have not seen since the Carter administration? April saw an increase of 0.8% in the Consumer Price Index after a 0.6% increase in March. The BLS reports a year over year increase of 4.2%. Keep in mind that a third of that increase came in the last two months. This inflation rate is three times the rate under the PDJT administration. [Top Line Data Here – Detailed Sector Data Here]. I would not be surprised to see inflation hit 6% or higher this year.

A leading cause of these increases have been massive increases in energy costs. Gasoline is up 49.6% year over year. And this was before the spike in many areas of the country due to the ransomware attack on the Colonial Pipeline. Fuel oil was up 37.3% year over year. There are areas of the country where the increases are in the 70-90% range.

Higher gas prices hit the middle class the hardest. It also causes an increase in the price of transporting goods particularly food. Keep in mind that these data points are six weeks old. They do not reflect recent upswings in energy prices. Significant increases in the price of food will be the result in the months ahead.

Sundance notes:

April Jobs Report

sunbeam May 11, 2021 Comments Off

Now everyone knows by now that economic predictions on the number of jobs to be produced in a given month can be somewhat inaccurate. During the Trump administration the analysts consistently underestimated (and underreported) the number of new jobs. Every single month of PDJT’s presidency, the actual numbers were higher than the numbers initially reported. During the recovery from the pandemic induced layoffs, the predicted number were astonishingly lower than the actual numbers.

Now the situation has been reversed. With a senescent Democrat in Office, the analysts were predicting 978,000 new jobs in April along with a 5.8 % unemployment rate. The actuals were a bit different. Only 266,000 were added and unemployment moved upward to 6.1%. Yes, Biden and the Democrats are successfully killing the economic resurgence. ...

Minor Insanities

The Biden-Harris administration (yes, it’s official now. The Democrats are beginning the transition to a Harris Presidency) is shutting down the southwest end of the National Mall around the Tidal Basin during two-week peak cherry blossom time.

Why you might ask? It is being done so that the public will not walk around in the sunshine and fresh air to view the annual spectacle. Apparently cherry blossoms are a particularly nasty spreader of the COVID-19 virus (sarc).

The Jefferson, MLK and FDR memorials will also be closed to keep the public away from the nasty cherry blossoms.

Democrats Are Killing The Economy

sunbeam March 19, 2021 Comments Off

This administration is killing jobs and exporting American jobs to other countries. The Democrats are anti-American and are evil, racist and corrupt. They do not care about Americans. They only care about power and money.

Ford announced this week that it plans to move a major project from its Avon Lake plant in northeast Ohio to Mexico. Ford thus reneged a promise made during the Trump administration to invest $900 million in the new project to build an electric vehicle there. The original agreement called for a complete revitalization of the Avon Lake facility.

Beijing Biden continues to be a source of amazement and amusement whenever he goes “off script.”
