We absolutely are. Happens every time we start taking giant influx of refugees. But hey....that's the cost of importing democrat votes



From world peace to world war in one election flat
At the rate Hispanics are turning on the democrats, their open borders policy may likely backfire on their asses. Probably why they’re suddenly acting like they need to secure the border.
 
'If you ever feel like you haven’t accomplished anything, try to remember that it took 20 years, trillions of dollars and four Presidents to replace the Taliban in Afghanistan with………. the Taliban.

If you feel your job is hard and you are unappreciated, think about the poor slob who serves as the sign language interpreter for Joe Biden.

Let me try to understand this: we can’t seem to find illegals to deport, but we can sure find them to give them money! How does that work?

If there was a barnyard election, the pigs would always vote for the person that feeds them and gives them treats, even though that same person is going to slaughter them someday. That same philosophy is the very definition of socialism'
 
Streaming a church service from Murfreesboro, TN. He was talking about prayer...mostly about/for the problems in the nation right now. Then in the middle of it he says....'Anybody watch the UT - Kentucky game yesterday? Tell me we're not learning how to pray.' Lot of laughter from the congregation. Thought it was kind of funny.

'Memo to Generation Z and the Woke Generation: The Stars and Stripes that fly over our Nation’s Capital and are wrapped around the coffins of our honored dead who sacrificed their lives to keep us free, is my Flag. I will never apologize for it. The Flag does not stand for skin color, race, or religion. It stands for freedom. Never forget that!'

And finally from my buddy's email.....

'Isn’t it curious that in some states like California, Washington, Illinois, and New York, shoplifting of items less than $950 is not a crime but the Biden Build Back Better Spendalooza calls for hiring 87,000 IRS agents to monitor individual banking transactions of $600 or more? Fascinating.

We recently celebrated Christmas. Some neighbors refused to shout “Ho, Ho Ho” for fear that it might be insulting to Vice President Kamala Harris. No joke!'

I imagine his email was forwarded one or copy/paste job. Don't think it was random thoughts of his....but he agrees.

Do you believe prayer works? Were the UT fans praying harder than the UK fans?

When they get here and get theirs, they want to close the door behind them. Makes sense. Plus they are mostly Catholic and family oriented so they have nothing in common with libs.

That's why they have to keep importing more
 
This graph only has three years on it…
Funny how they blame Biden for inflation when all inflationary triggers happened prior.

2018 - call for lowering rates in a booming economy

Normally you'll raise rates in a booming economy and lower them in a recession.

2017-2019 - tariffs

Prices are passed down to the consumer. 10% tariffs passed on goods leads to America consumers paying more.


2020 - money printing

Massive inflation would've happened regardless who was in office.

Even that graph shows inflation to be increasing prior to Biden. If you look harder you can see a decrease in early 2020 which would be due to the FED cutting rates, correct move this time, to curb the crash that was happening in the markets. In recessions you'll see rates lowered to promote growth.

A call for lowering rates isn’t lowering rates. In reality the rates were raised.

The tariffs didn’t cause inflation in those years you listed, they aren’t now either.

The inflation now is caused by massive amounts of money being injected in the economy due to Covid, and ridiculous fuel prices.
If we calculated inflation as we did in 1982, it would be over 15% right now.
 
Cool. I like Presidents who:

1. Can engage with reporters without having to look at his (or her, for future reference) notecards to decide who to call on to ask the next question.
2. Corollary to #1: don’t say publicly “I’ve been asked to ask so-and-so the next question….”
3. Doesn’t gaslight the American people by pretending they weren’t advocating defunding the police a year or so ago, now that surging crime has become a political liability.
4. Doesn’t gaslight the American people by pretending they weren’t advocating for shutting down the fossil fuel industry now that high fuel prices have become a political liability.
5. Doesn’t commit to selecting a Vice-President and Supreme Court justice based on gender and skin color. In the former case, we’re already seeing disastrous results.

I’m just getting started bro…….
Don't worry. Everything's gonna be all white.

Trump promoting violence to combat CRT.

Crazy how the right are so against teaching CRT when it's mainly taught in places of higher learning and not as much in primary and secondary institutions.

Also funny how the right wants to ban CRT and other anti-racism lessons.

I could see it being a no no to teach any of the topics below should the right get their way. Oddly enough, most of these topics weren't even taught in primary or secondary school 20 years ago. The ones that were, 3/5 compromise and slavery were only briefly discussed.

Black people were 3/5s a person
Slavery
Segregation Era
Red lining
Tulsa Massacre 1921
East St Louis Riots 1917
Red Summer 2019
Baptist Street Church Bombing - Birmingham 1963

There are countless more events that people of color had to endure against racism amd in their fight for rights and even then they still face a different USA than what white America takes for granted.

All history should be taught, the good and bad, it's a teacher's job to do this. They just need to do it from a neutral position.

Rates were decreased 3 times in 2019 after Trump kept pressuring the FED to do so. He argued we should have policy similar to Japan or German with zero or negative interest rates.


The problem about that is each country and their respective monetary policy is different. Wanting to mirror another country is asinine because they have different problems.


I didnt necessarily say tarrifs caused this inflation but tariffs, by their very nature, are inflationary. The cost of the good is passed down to the consumer or the country that has to pay that tariff takes their business elsewhere. Look at our soy farmers being hurt back when these tarrifs were being pushed.

There hasn't been enough study to show whether not they've contributed to the inflation we're currently experiencing. Even the WSJ has articles covering both viewpoints.

I agree inflation is due to monetary injection but most of this happened in 2020, under Trump. You cannot blame Biden for something that didn't happen under his administration.

Inflation would've happened regardless so it's dumb to even waste energy to blame a politician.

Blame the gas companies who can produce more oil but decide not to.

You can't read a graph. Look at the slope for 14 months starting Jan. '21: Going way up. Now go back 14 months to Nov. '19: inflation drops in that period. Try again.

First, CRT isn't anti-racism. It claims the US is systemically racist. That's not anti-racism.

That's separate from the mostly facts - no idea what Red Summer 2019 is - that ought to be taught and I believe is encouraged. Show me specifically were those facts are not permitted to be taught. As is, it's crap you've made up.

Blacks weren't ever 3/5 of a person. Slaves were all fully counted as people but were "represented" in Congress at 3/5 that count by whites. Counting them at 3/5 of a person would have reduced southern representation further & defeated the purpose.

This is how I know you aren't Dion or Azurri just trolling a conversation with yourself, you understand fundamental mathematics.

Hmm, actually, Plat understands the basics too. 🧐

The target for inflation is 2%.

There's no reason the graph would need a wider axis.

I don’t care nearly as much about skin color and gender as I do about character, competency, and political conviction.

That's what a bigot would say.


[winking]

Another alias for me: Plat !!

It's not like I care, one way or the other, but you (like them) have critical errors in your thinking you'd be wise to address.

They're complete fools, ngmi.
