Merrick Garland- the JackBoot Clown who weaponized the FBI and DOJ against parents of school children- is testifying today in DC. Wishing him a miserable day. Constitutional Scholar Boy needs to be delivered some serious schooling- right there- today. He is on a path that he will continue on unless stopped.
Politico calls out Biden for not doing interviews: 'Reflects the bunker mentality this White House has taken' https://www.foxnews.com/media/politico-calls-out-biden-not-doing-interviews
Dems are playing a semi-smart game- (although losing overall) in this crockulus bill scenario. Bernie still pushing for 6 trillion, yeh, okay, Comrade. Free rations for all the Bolsheviks. Anyway back to my original point: Two weeks ago, the dems were are 3.5 trillion and now we are 2.0 or below. So the dems, one week ago, start talking about funding some programs for 5 years rather than 10. Okay, so far so good, they have to do what they gotta do. But this week, I notice that they are taking select items- such as the child care credit and are suddenly willing to go down to 1-2 years - whereas previously it was identified as one of the core programs that they wanted to institute permanently- "so let's at least nail that down for the long term" kind of strategy. So why drop all the way down to 1-2 then rather than 5 or so? Answer: They are cherry picking the items that they want to run on in midterms and the 2024 and want them to be up for renewal or not as part of those elections or on the horizon anyway. If you go out to five years it will not be sufficiently urgent for their free stuff base. Smart I guess if it is all about being a political hack as it is for the dem plantation overlords, but otherwise, it is a hell of way to run a country. You create a sea of all these short term programs so that the country is always on the brink of some kind of fiscal or program cliff. As if we do not have enough of that already. Just as a little side entertainment, y'all may have heard that yesterday Manchin and Bernie, allegedly, had a crisp and prickly discussion where they both agreed that "zero could be a good number." That's good shiite right theya.
So those of us who have seen the dance before know that one of the obligatory steps in the dance - when gas prices surge under a dem president- is for some leftist loon (let's just call her Pocahontas for short) to come up with the less-than-new idea that all rises in gas prices are due to oil speculators. The usual graphs showing how much of the price is related to speculation and round and round we go. In other words, it is not due to the loss of our energy independence, it is due to all those evil energy speculators who need to be told what the price should be. The same evil speculators who at times drove the price to zero and the price was so low energy players/brokers were paying just to unload their inventory for lack of storage. For some not-so-difficult-to-understand reason, there were not many calls for holding hearings on those evil speculators driving the price down. We probably are at least a couple weeks away from that but once Joe's handlers give him that script then we are off on that gas-bag stuff again. With gas-bag Pocahontas mixed in their. And whoever our energy secretary is and whatever she does. Jennifer Grenholm or something. Old Jimmy Carter is still alive and kicking so maybe they recycle him to call the tunes when the evil oil speculators dance begins. Yeh. It's all good.
