Christmas Comes Early

How many people will die in Afghanistan because of the ineptitude of the current administration? How many of these will be children? How many will be babies?
During the Trump administration, economies around the world were benefitting from economic cooperation. Then came the fraudulent election. Economies everywhere have suffered. Afghanistan has been especially hard hit.
More than half of the population of Afghanistan is facing extreme hunger, a frightening development that will only intensify as winter gets set to descend on the war-devastated country now under Taliban control.
I present this short soliloquy by a commenter on the political scene with only a short comment by me.
Peter Doucy asked about the proposed DOJ settlement that has been in the news recently. Specifically the DOJ has proposed awarding up to $450,000 per person to illegals for their pain and suffering at being separated from their loved ones after they were arrested crossing the border.
Don Surber reports:
The Blaze reported, “A teachers union in Massachusetts claims the state’s standardized testing has ‘allowed white supremacy to flourish.’
“The Massachusetts Teachers Association wants to strip the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System as a part of graduation requirements for students.”
The White House said on Tuesday 58,700 civilians were evacuated from Afghanistan since the operation began.
Emerald Robinson from Newsmax on Tuesday said only 4,000 Americans have been evacuated from Afghanistan. That means there are likely over 10,000 Americans left in the country. It also means that most of the civilians being evacuated are not American citizens.
On Tuesday night Steve Cortes told his Newsmax audience that according to the most recent numbers from the State Department only 4,407 Americans have been rescued so far.
Just how many hostages is Biden planning on leaving the Taliban?
Back in February there was a piece published here about the problem on our southern border. It was called “The Big Racket.” Last night, Tucker Carlson addressed part of this problem on his show. He talked about how, without the public’s knowledge or consent, hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants are being transported into the interior of the country. Without a doubt this is part and parcel of Barack Obama’s plan to fundamentally transform the country. And the political elites in Washington are hip deep in the corruption.
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 6th “insurrection.”
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:
Below are some more questions that true reporters should be asking the White House press secretary Jen Psaki. Of course, it is highly unlikely that any such questions will ever be asked by the lame stream media.
Question #1 – President Biden has called it a patriotic duty to get a shot of one of the vaccines for COVID-19. Data from the CDC indicate that deaths after receiving a vaccine shot have skyrocketed, up by more than 6000% from the same period a year ago. Most of those deaths (85%) have occurred among people who are older than 65. Most have occurred specifically after getting the COVID-19 vaccine. In view of this, does Biden still believe it is one’s patriotic duty to take the vaccine? Are America’s seniors being asked to risk their lives and to place themselves on the frontlines in the war against the virus? Why or why not?
