On May 24, 2024, Schumer delivered a speech where he called for all illegal aliens to be given a path to citizenship and be made legal citizens of the United States. May this deplorable politician be expelled from the country and his passport burned to a crisp.
Inflation, and Then Some…
According to a Wall Street Journal analysis of data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the price of electricity is up almost 30% since January 2021.
U.S. gasoline prices have increased more than 50% since Joe Biden became President. When Donald Trump was President, the average price for gasoline was $2.38 per gallon. Joe
Biden can spin this until the cows come home, but the average family is being screwed by his
policies. I pray that folks wake up and don’t give him or one of his clowns another four years in the White House. March 2024 saw inflation rise another 3.5%. This ain’t over, folks, not by a long shot. Every time Biden says inflation has come down, he is playing the game of lying with statistics.
Let’s look at something as common as the price of butter. We all use it, except for you margarine folks. The price of butter has gone up $1 per pound since Biden took office. Let’s compare the price in January 2021—$3.64 per pound nationally—to February 2024 at $4.63 per pound.
That’s a 27% increase. I wouldn’t be surprised if the President has blamed it on global warming. Don’t think it stops at butter and gasoline at the pump. It doesn’t.
- Boneless chicken breast up 26%
- White sugar up 44%
- White bread up 30%
- A dozen grade-A eggs up 103%
- Coffee up 30%
Hey, folks! I can do this all day long. Best you get your ass to the polling place in November and vote this clown out of office.
Baltimore Is the Undisputed Leader … in Drug Overdose Deaths
I lived in Maryland for decades and can count on one hand the number of times I ventured into Baltimore. Murders, carjackings, robberies, failing schools, race riots, and drugs are nothing new to that city. Baltimore has been grappling with these problems for 40 years or more, while city leaders blame everyone and everything but their own failed leadership.
Baltimore is number one among major cities when it comes to fatal drug overdoses. That was reported in a study published by the Baltimore Banner and the New York Times. Baltimore’s fatal overdose rate has quadrupled in the last 10 years. It seems the situation has gotten worse—much worse—while politicians tell us their policies are successful. Not that I’m an expert on any of this, but it appears the city is doing everything wrong. Three years ago, I bid Maryland a not-so- fond farewell. The decidedly Democratic, high-tax, blue state blamed its poor education scores, crime, drug problem, and poverty on everything but its own failed policies. It’s kind of like California blaming ALL their woes on Republicans, who have not been in power for years.
The Tax Hike That Kills the Economy
The Biden Administration has proposed a fiscal year 2025 federal budget that includes a whopping increase in the top marginal rate on long-term capital gains and dividends to 44.6%. That’s about an 87% increase, people. The current top rate is 23.8% (including the 3.8% tax called the net investment income tax).
Granted, only folks making a lot of money pay the highest rates, but who do you think keeps the economy moving? If you listen to Biden, he downplays this and calls it a small increase so “the rich pay their fair share.” According to the latest government figures, the top 1% of earners in the United States paid 45.8% of all federal income taxes. Please tell me, President Biden, is their fair share 50%, 75%, or higher? At what point ARE they paying their fair share? Are we there yet?
Mr. Biden, stop playing politics. You are destroying the economy. You clearly are in over your head and should retire to a continuing care retirement community in Delaware.
Democrats Fall All over Themselves to Fund Ukraine – Not Israel or Our Southern Border
I read that the United States is expected to provide Ukraine an additional $275 million in military aid. The package includes an assortment of artillery rounds, rockets, and more. The amount of money we have provided to Ukraine now tops $50 billion. Meanwhile, aid to Israel and our own Southern border is hardly worth mentioning since they are clearly not priorities for the Biden Administration.
I side with Texas Senator Ted Cruz—give Israel what it needs to eradicate Hamas, and protect our own Southern border. Remember, it was not so long ago that Democrats, after the passage of an aid bill, shouted “Ukraine!’” while waving Ukrainian flags on the floor of the House of Representatives. The ONLY flag that should ever fly at the U.S. Capitol is the American flag. I think it was a disgusting and inappropriate display by Democrats. That bill provided an additional $60 billion of aid to Ukraine.
And by the way, I don’t remember Biden and company telling Ukraine how to fight their war. Although Biden asked them not to bomb Russian refineries for fear of increased world oil prices, Ukraine told them to go pound sand.
I Am Too Gentlemanly to Call the Governor of New York a Moron?
I grew up in Manhattan and spent a bunch of time in the Bronx as well. So I know the place. I just don’t want to live there anymore. During a recent rally for former President Trump in the Bronx, New York’s governor called Trump supporters clowns. Mind you, these are her constituents, residents of New York City, and she’s acting like a juvenile asshat.
Not only did the governor insult a former President, but this left wing turd insulted people who likely voted for her and now are seeing the light of Democratic failed policies. This behavior is typical of left wing Democrats. They can’t fight on the facts so they choose to hurl insults, which corporate media is all too happy to report on. In fact, the governor called these New Yorkers clowns during a CNN interview. Why does that not surprise me? CNN is as far left as it gets, and it is everything pro- Biden and anti-Trump. My sense is that being called clowns by their own governor will not go over well come the November elections. New York is a cesspool that I left in 1983.
The Demands for Reparations Keep Coming
Black people living in Boston in the 1600s were treated poorly—very poorly. Is that why almost 400 years later, Black Bostonians are demanding $15 billion in reparations? The Boston People’s Reparations Commission is not coy about their ask. They are demanding.
Who exactly is expected to pay these reparations? College students attending four-year schools in the city? Folks who moved to Boston because they thought it was a cool, liberal place to live? What about the software engineer whose company just transferred him and 100 colleagues from
North Carolina to their new corporate home in Boston? Boston taxpayers pay 5% income tax. In fact, their tax liability rises to 9% if their taxable income exceeds $1,000,000.Woe be on to you if you are financially successful in Massachusetts. Remember, that is 9% on TOP of federal tax liability. And Boston owes some $7.2 billion and is in financial trouble. Adding $15 billion of additional debt would sink the city into the muck of the Charles River. Folks who demand other people’s money don’t consider any of this. After all, it’s not their problem.
And by the way, my guess is that there are thousands and thousands of African American Bostonians who have done just fine financially.
