Just to get the media story straight, a nudist hippie that was part of a pro BLM commune walked in only underwear from Berkeley to the ultrarich neighborhood in San Francisco, entered Paul Pelosi’s mansion while predator invisible cloaked to avoid security cameras…
…wrestled with Paul Pelosi while a mysterious 3rd man watched, Paul went to the bathroom, called 911, returned to wrestle the hippie nudist, the unnamed 3rd man let police in, and then the hippie hit Paul with a hammer, because he saw a Kevin McCarthy news conference a year ago
We don’t know the truth of what happened that night and, like Pelosi’s DUI ( where had he been, who was he with ?), we probably never will.

Ten days and counting until the end of the Democrat Party for at least a decade. Congress controls spending and the Republicans will use the power of the debt limit to reverse the insane spending of the last 4 years. No federal judges approved. Hearings on Hunter Biden and what Joe and Hunter did with the millions they got from China and Russia. The FBIs role in Russiagate and Jan 6 exposed.

Transcripts of police calls for the incident show
“RP ( Pelosi ) stated there's a male in the home and that he's going to wait for his wife. RP stated that he doesn't know who the male is but he advised that his name is David and that he is a friend."

Just 2 guys hanging out in a house in San Francisco at 2:30am while Pelosi’s wife is away. Oh, and he is described as a “ nudist activist”, whatever that is.
Odds of him being a Trump supporter are pretty small.

“He seems a bit like Trump, wanting to vault his celebrity status and following to the next level.”
A politician who wants to increase his power. I suspect there are one or two other politicians who have that characteristic. Some might even be Democrats.

The left is perfectly rational if you understand their foundational beliefs
- Democrats are morally superior because they care about others
- By definition, anyone who opposes them is evil
- People cannot be trusted to make decisions about their lives
- Government is the solution to all problems
- More government spending energizes the economy

What we are seeing in all these gubernatorial and senate debates is the result of media coddling the left and attacking the right. The lefties never have to defend themselves while the right must constantly defend their policies. Practice makes perfect.

“Wow, you get VIP dances from Josie but complain about the talent at Hiliter?”
I’m starting to think you own stock in HiLiter. Yes, I think the quality of dancers has been affected by the Cuban invasion. Deal with it.

Dancers who treat customers like prey, using manipulative tricks rather than providing service.

Naming a review and a reviewer after a dancer is weird, creepy, and suspect. Fancy is one of the nicest dancers I’ve ever known and, in my experience, she has boundaries, despite what this mystery, first time reviewer says.

Everything in media is derivative and formulaic. It’s the nature of the corporate world. You keep your job by playing it safe and politically correct. Stand up comedy is one of the only places where people still take chances.

I dunno. Big Tech is going through some pretty big layoffs.
The real difference is that most workers have no cushion built into their budget. Those are the people bearing the first wave of problems, whether they are blue or white collar.
The wealthy, or simply those who are debt free, are getting by just fine so far.

Modern Monetary Theory is the reason we are in this mess. It’s the theory that increasing government spending, on anything no matter how wasteful, will boost the economy. We now have a 20 year record proving this was wrong.
Similarly, cutting government spending will not cause a recession. We need to cut spending to get inflation under control, which will allow a recovery.

Years ago, Democrats decided to focus on winning the votes of single, college educated women. As a result, they gave up on the working class and parents. Their calculus assumed that black and Hispanic voters would never vote Republican. In 3 weeks, we’ll see whether that was the right decision.

I contend, with the right policies, the US could completely turn things around in 2 years. Even with Biden in office, two years of Republican control of Congress could stop Biden from making things worse. Elect the right President in 2024, and things will be back to normal by 2026. Control crime. Seal the border. Cut spending. Reform the Fed. Clean house at the FBI and CIA.Bring manufacturing back to the US.

Total consumer debt increased by $32.2 billion in August, an 8.3% increase on an annual basis. That was well above the $24 billion projection.

Today, the Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) released September price data showing another 8.5% increase year-over-year in Final Demand products at the wholesale level. However, that’s not the bad news in this data. While the overall September PPI was higher than expected at 0.4%, the Final Demand Producer Price for food products in September was a whopping 1.2% (14.4% annualized).
The BLS notes the driver by saying, “a major factor in the September increase in prices for final demand goods was a 15.7-percent advance in the index for fresh and dry vegetables. Prices for diesel fuel, residential natural gas, chicken eggs, home heating oil, and pork also moved higher.”
That’s a 15.7% increase in price, in one month, for fresh and dry vegetables. Annualized that’s a rate of price increase of 188.4% for vegetables. Remember the warning about farm costs (energy, fertilizer, fuel) driving field to fork inflation at harvest? This is the leading edge of that third wave of food price increases.

When politicians spend money, they take credit for it as it came out of their own pocket. The true cost of this spending is often hidden until well after the politician retires.
I just read an article about how federal regulators buy stock in the companies they regulate. How is that not illegal ?

According to a new poll from Issues & Insights/TIPP, the number of Americans who are worried about Joe Biden’s mental health has jumped from 59 percent to 64 percent in the last two months. That’s nearly two-thirds of Americans thinking he’s mentally not well. Most of that increase has come from Democrats, who may finally be getting it.

Biden pretends he's pardoning 6,500 "low-level" or "simple possession" marijuana inmates in federal prison (as well as 1000s more with convictions in the majority-Black city of DC) when in fact in most cases their federal charges meant they crossed state lines as drug traffickers & many had associated gun charges as part of their arrests.
These aren’t casual users with a few grams. These are dealers, many affiliated with cartels.

gammanu95My casual drinking is your alcohol poisoning.
It happened to me on my last club visit.
In Thailand, they have something called Coyote Girls at the Gogo clubs. Super hot dancers who are just there to rev you up for the other dancers.

Credit card debt just hit new all time highs at just over $1.15 trillion, erasing all the post-covid credit card deleveraging, just in time for those credit card APRs to hit record highs!
This suggests that a lot of people have exhausted their savings, leaving credit card debt as the only way to provide necessities for their family.

If Republicans take the house and senate, they could do some good by reducing authorization of all sorts of wasteful government spending. Will they have the balls to do that ? Recent history suggests no.
