Is the US economy about to enter a contraction period? Well, Jen Psaki and Brandon continue to insist that everything is awesome, but the Atlanta Fed and other economic watchers have a far different perspective. From their point of view, the economy isn’t in a healthy spot right now, with the variables trending in a highly negative direction and GDP likely following those negative variables. In fact, the Atlanta Fed, in its January 2022 GDPNow forecast, had much lower expectations for how much the economy will grow than the more optimistic initial estimate predicted. In its words: The initial GDPNow…

What does Xi Jinping want? Why is he sending warships to encircle Taiwan, fighter jets to test its air defenses, and satellites to potentially grapple with and take out enemy surveillance satellites? Why is China spending huge amounts of money each year to build up its blue water navy, develop 5th generation fighter jets, and develop a stealth bomber? What is the intent behind its world-spanning Belt and Road debt trap? According to Mike Pompeo, CIA director under Trump, who said during an appearance at the Argus Americas Crude Summit 2022 that the answer is “global domination.” Xi, in the…
Brandon, during a 2020 campaign stop in South Carolina, pledged that if elected he would appoint a black woman as a Supreme Court justice if the had the opportunity to do so. When Justice Breyer’s retirement was announced, Brandon stood by that pledge to base his pick for one of nine justices in the highest court in the land not on merit, but on the diversity credentials that are most valuable at the moment. He said he’d pick his diversity candidate by the end of February. Unsurprisingly, most Americans aren’t particularly thrilled with Biden’s pledge to create some reverse version…
Brandon’s immigration policies aren’t popular. Whether it’s people calling for his impeachment because of those policies, slamming what he’s up to as a dereliction of duty, or suing him for the utter lawlessness and harms inflicted by his policies, Americans are so sick and tired of the left’s far-left immigration policies that they’re starting to take action to stop them. Most recently, that’s taken the form of Texas, Arkansas, Alaska, Florida, Indiana, Missouri, Montana, and Oklahoma suing Brandon over his use of the Obama-era Central American Minors (CAM) Refugee and Parole Program to shuttle in the family members of those…
A common tactic of the Israel-hating left is pressuring companies, schools, and other organizations to boycott Israel. Claiming that the embattled state is somehow the aggressor in wars against the Arabs, they relentlessly push for a total boycott of it. Normally, the right simply dismisses such calls with scorn, labels them anti-semitic, and then moves on, doing little to actually push back against the leftists and their absurd claims. Now, the state of Georgia’s legislature is finally pushing back and setting an example for how to strike back against the left and its corporate minions. The House of the Georgia…
Hot off the heels of releasing his hilarious, brilliant “We the People” song, one which attacks Fauci and Brandon for their policies, Kid Rock is striking another blow for freedom. Now, in addition to going after the jab policies of the Covid tyrants in music, he’s going after them in reality too, pledging that he won’t perform in any venue that requires the jab. That pledge came in the form of a four-minute video that he shared on his Facebook page. During the video, he made the pledge that he wouldn’t perform at any venue that requires the jab and…
Chris Wallace, the former Fox News Sunday host that many contended was extremely biased towards Biden in the first Trump-Biden debate, showed his true colors when he announced that he was leaving Fox for CNN, a move many said was for ideological reasons. As the AP reported at the time: But [Wallace] had grown privately frustrated with the overall tenor at Fox, where conservative opinion hosts have been elevated and amplified, particularly after the network’s ratings took a brief hit following the 2020 election… Wallace had expressed his concern about the strident opinion programming to Fox executives multiple times, including…
What is racism? According to most people, it would be discrimination or dislike of some form or another premised on the basis of the discriminated against or disliked party’s race. Or, as Websters puts it, “a belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.” Either of those definitions is probably accurate enough, even if they do have their little flaws, to grasp what racism means. It’s not that hard of a concept; the name says it all. Unfortunately, the more leftists drone on and…
Dan Crenshaw might not always be the most rock-ribbed of conservatives, he certainly has a conciliatory streak that leads to him consorting with the left and attacking his most conservative allies from time to time. However, he does occasionally let his conservative colors shine through and says the things that America needs to hear. He recently did so on the topic of crime and the left’s soft-on-crime policies, pointing out that the left, in its defense of the career criminals and gangsters, is showing that it cares only for criminals and couldn’t care less about the victims that those thugs…
What is the term for using legitimate forms of the American republican system to exercise power, or at least prevent the other side from doing so? That’s using the courts, the filibuster, the rules of the House and Senate, and action in the states to achieve political ends? To a normal, reasonable person, that’s just called “republican government.” Frustrating at times, it’s meant to be slow and use of the systems within it is fair game; it’s what’s been done since the Constitution was ratified. To MSNBC’s Joy Reid, however, someone who is certainly neither reasonable nor normal, it’s “Hitler…
Normally, the talking heads on the leftist, mainstream media channels are nothing more than simpering lackeys for the Democrats. They cover for them, cower when criticized by them, and bark ferociously (but ineffectively) at anyone on the right that gets in the way of their leftist masters. But a few of those Democrat agents are starting to wake up and criticize Brandon, who is now so unpopular that he’s hemorrhaging voters from even strongly Democratic voting blocs. Like vultures or jackals, they’re seeing Biden start to weaken and are circling, occasionally taking snips at him as he falters in a…
Kid Rock, the country-rock singer that became one of President Trump’s most valiant high-profile supporters, just dropped the hammer on Fauci, dedicating an entire song to tearing the short, wizened, raspy-voiced tyrant to pieces. Given that it’s released by such a huge name, a highly-popular figure, it’s hilarious that it was even released, and doubly funny that it’s become so popular so quickly. Yet better (and you’ll rarely hear me praise vulgarity), it’s completely profane, with some describing it as an “f-bomb” nightmare. Now, normally I’d be against that, as I think being well-spoken is far more efficacious, normally, than…
Can the Federal Reserve break the back of inflation? That question is one of paramount importance as inflation rises and stays high (so much for all that jabber about it being “transitory”). Unfortunately, it looks like the answer may be “no.” At least, that’s the view of Goldman Sachs’ no. 2, its president, John Waldron, who questioned the independence of the Federal Reserve and its willingness to see inflation-crackdown policies through when talking to a Bloomberg reporter. The background is this: right now, inflation is somewhere around 7 percent, which is a forty-year high. The last time inflation was this…
Under Brandon, the southern border has been left wide open. In the first year of his presidency alone, perhaps as many as two million illegals flooded across the southern border, swamping the states and agencies tasked with receiving them and bringing drugs, crime, and disease with them. Those who have to actually deal with the situation aren’t happy about it. It’s their cities and towns that have to handle the crime wave that comes with masses of millions flooding into small border towns. It’s those communities that have to bear the burden of Brandon’s insouciant attitude toward the invasion of…
What does the UN do? It takes billions upon billions of dollars from the US and other Western countries and then spends them in whatever way would either be a) the most ineffective by any available metric or b) best embarrasses, humiliates, or otherwise frustrates the policy objectives of those Western powers. It takes our money and then complains about our gun laws. It puts Syria on the Human Rights Council and then savages Israel for being mean to the Palestinians, ignoring that Assad tortures tens of thousands of people and has used chemical weapons on rebels. Oh, and now…
Peter Schweizer’s newest book, Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win, has sent shockwaves through the country. Chapter by chapter, in painstaking detail, Schweizer exposes how Red China has grown so well not on its own merits, but because the American oligarchy has helped it along. Greedy financiers, pinko politicians, and others cozied up to the Chinese Dragon and provided the sparks of aid, capital, and economic avenues necessary to turn the Chinese economy into a roaring blaze, a blaze that turned America’s economy to ashes and forged China’s economy into one of gold. One such politician that helped…
As America is humiliated abroad and Brandon’s brain shows itself to be on its last legs whenever he attempts to do something domestically, more and more people are fleeing him. While he entered the presidency with relatively high levels of support, with all the Democrats and many RINOs hoping he’d just not be Trump and that that would somehow be better. Well, they got what they wanted. Brandon the Senile sure isn’t Trump. Where Trump was strong, Brandon is weak. Where Trump was good for the economy, Brandon is wrecking it by destroying consumer confidence and proposing new regulations that…
In all the discussions about which “woman of color” Brandon should choose to fill Breyer’s seat, one of the Democrats’ most famous “women of color,” one who is a renowned lawyer and has proven her loyalty to the far left many times over, has been left out of the discussion. That “woman of color,” of course, would be Pocahontas: Elizabeth Warren. She’s 1/1076 Native American and got her job at Harvard based on her gender and Native American ancestry, why not add her to the Supreme Court to boost its diversity? If a willingness to use diversity as a cudgel…
What is Clarence Thomas? An amazingly thoughtful and intelligent Supreme Court justice? A hero of sorts that overcame the disadvantages of his upbringing, the prejudices of his time, and the damage done to his career by affirmative action and ended up at the very top of the legal system? Well, yes, those are both correct answers. But the jabbering parrots on “the View” didn’t arrive at that answer. No, according to those bitter, cackling hens, Clarence Thomas is a “race traitor.” Yes, they really said that. Oh, and they implied that Amy Coney Barrett is a traitor to women. Those…
Mitch McConnell is certainly not a rock-ribbed conservative. He’s backed down to the left time and time again, often managing to pluck defeat from the jaws of victory by refusing to stand firm and wield power in the realpolitik way that the left wields it. However, though that’s generally true, there’s one issue on which McConnell has actually done a good job, one issue that was so big even he grew a spine and learned to fight. That issue is judges, an issue that’s caused him to (potentially) regrow his spine and return to those brave days where he refused…
Jen Psaki, like the senile man her press conferences attempt to cover for, isn’t much loved by the American people. Whether she’s getting blown up on Twitter for some dumb comment or another, memed into oblivion by the creative geniuses all over the internet, or slammed by other media figures, Psaki is often under (deserved) attack. Governor Ron DeSantis recently jumped into the fray, blasting Psaki for the lies she constantly tells while attempting to cover for Team Brandon and all of its many, many, foul-ups, both domestically and abroad. During a press conference at Miami-Dade College, DeSantis said “The…
Someone leaked that SCOTUS Justice Stephen Breyer is about to retire. That means that Joe is going to get to nominate a Supreme Court justice to fill his seat. Unfortunately, it looks like Brandon is focusing more on diversity than merit, as if that worked well with his horrendous VP, Kamala Harris. She, you will remember, was only chosen because Biden foolishly pledged that he’d choose a black woman to be his VP, only to then find out that he had no good choices and had to go with Kamala. Now he’s making that same pledge, saying that he’ll nominate…
Would asking our legislators to not invest in Red Chinese companies that are actively working against American interests be too much to ask? Apparently. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who apparently couldn’t get rich enough trading stocks with her fellow Buffett-like legislators, decided to get rich via investing in a CCP company. Well, to be fair, her husband did; he invested in a Red Chinese company that sold malware to the US military. That comes from Peter Schweizer’s new book, which is titled Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win. In one chapter of it, he tells the sad tale…
When Joe Rogan signed his famous, $100 million deal with Spotify, one concern many had was that the beloved podcast host would see his content, much of it far from PC or approved of by the powers that be, censored by the platform. Fortunately, those fears appear to have been at least mostly unfounded, even in the face of Covid-19 “misinformation” claims. Whereas Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube censor and smack down wrongthink with an iron fist, Spotify has done a good job of resisting the totalitarian impulses of the modern left and letting Rogan speak. We first saw that when…
As the saying in Game of Thrones goes, “winter is coming.” Well, in this case, “the end of easy money is coming” might be more accurate, though the sentiment conveyed by each is similar. You see, as inflation stays high, not “transitory.” as Fed Chair Jerome Powell initially said it would be, the Fed is having to adjust its easy-money policies in an attempt to tamp down on the rapidly rising inflation that’s hitting every American in the pocketbook. As a result, the Fed is hinting that the first rate hike in three years could come this March. The Federal Reserve hinted…
