Bernie sure made out in Trump's economy. But taking the word of a Soviet lover on economic matters is dumber than rocks. The Border fence might be a bit cheaper with fewer lawyers involved in the process. And who supported ISIS by paying the Iranian Mullahs pallets of unmarked cash? Refused to interfere with oil delivery? Encouraged and illegally armed Syrian Freedom Fighters? (AQ) Said nothing about the Genocide? ( Hint, Just Joe's old boss ) | ||

If the Government doesn't pay unemployment they don't half to count them. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/07/13 /unemployment-payment-delays/ | ||

A) Consider the source (WaPo). B) Consider the fact they simply blame the administration, with ZERO MENTION of COVID. C) Consider the date - July 13. Yeah. That's current. | ||

You didn't know that the reported unemployment number was only those folk actually going to the State Employment Office to get their Unemployment Insurance benefits? Really? I'll give the benefit of doubt and accept you are ignorant, as opposed to the alternative. Well, now you know. Further, since Unemployment Insurance is time limited, most of the "reduction" in the Reported Unemployment numbers in the Barry regime was entirely due to folk who didn't have a job, and no longer counted. Can't blame Barry or Donald for that accounting trick, that predates both by years. You can blame the Media for seldom reporting the REAL unemployment figures, which are easily available at the Dept. Labor statistics web site. You do have to be able to do simple addition, and some basic division if you want a percentage. So, unemployment rate isn't what the talking heads on tv tell you. Since the numbers are calculated the same, you'd think you should be able to see trends. But you'd be wrong. You need to also have the number for folk no longer counted as "unemployed". If you want to know how, I'd be happy to explain. If you already know how, you're dishonest, and if you don't want to know, then you lie to yourself as well as others. You need professional help beyond my expertise. | ||

I'd rather vote for Trump and have to fight than to be another sheep. Freedom can only be retained by the blood of tyrants. | ||

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/09/kamal a_harriss_dog_whistle_to_rioters_looters_and_arson ists.html Harris's dog whistle to rioters and looters is not an isolated incident. The rest of the Democratic Party is "trying to find the right balance between their support for the racial justice protests and their opposition to the destructive elements of the demonstrations[.]" If Democrats think there is some kind of acceptable "balance" between lawful and peaceful freedom of expression, and arson, vandalism, looting, aggravated assault, murder, carjacking, and rioting, there is a real problem. The former is an absolute constitutional right, and the latter are criminal activities. There is no gray area between them in which one can find a "balance." One of the problems of using hate and envy to gain power is directing the rage away from yourself. Millionaire Bernie calling for taking OTHER millionaire's Wealth. Rich Biden and Harris blaming other rich for the nation's ills. If that illusion breaks down, and it will, then the Mob turns on the exploiters that ride it to power. The only question is, will the real voters see the truth before the inevitable? | ||

https://amgreatness.com/?p=68121 AOC raises the Citizen question... By mistake? | ||

I always assumed that Puerto Ricans were “normal “ citizens. | ||

On 2 March 1917, the Jones–Shafroth Act was signed, collectively making Puerto Ricans United States citizens without rescinding their Puerto Rican citizenship. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puerto_Rican_citizen ship This same CRS report also asserts that citizens born in the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, are legally defined as "natural born" citizens and are, therefore, also eligible to be elected president. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural-born-citizen _clause | ||

Oh, I'm not playing the "daughter of immigrants doesn't qualify" card, at all. I'm on record that it's a non issue and a trap. Remember Obama refusing to prove his citizenship when Hillary raised the issue? That was a trap. Obama knew he was "on record" aka his publisher at the time, advertised that they had this exciting new American Success Story! A Kenyan born State Senator! He knew of that lie, and never tried to correct it. ( he also didn't deliver a book, but that's a different story ) Then when Barry ran for president, the lie that he was Kenyan was a great trap for his enemies. Rush fell for it, Hillary fell for it. Glenn Beck broke the true story. And Trump used the fact that Barry had snookered Hillary to good effect, even had Barry pull out an altered multilayer pdf of his birth record to "prove" his citizenship, which wasn't even a question, if you were paying attention. | ||

Yeah, I’m not sure why snopes thought they needed to fact check that. Anyone with a web browser can see that it does. | ||

www.antifa.com doesn't load on my web browser, I get the message saying "The connection has timed out".  But then again, everything from Biden is timed out. | ||

Biden yesterday: if you don't vote for me, you ain't black. Biden today: if you don't vote for me, you ain't jewish. Biden tomorrow: if you don't vote for me, you ain't human. | ||

>>>Biden today: if you don't vote for me, you ain't jewish. Do we have any source for that? I need it . . . because . . . I've been in too many discussions with folks where I was making a point only to have it pointed out to me that if was "Farcebbook Fantasy". | ||

Snopes says it's mostly false... | ||

Re: Biden & "if you don't vote for me..." it's pretty well established Joe is an old Dem racist. Not a rabid white supremacist, but the assumed superiority that leads to statements like “I mean, you got the first mainstream African–American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” . And the "Indian accent" etc. If you think about it, Joe is a perfect example of "white Privilege" aka "the unthinking unconscious assumption of inferiority of others, but I'm not racist!" , attitude that just torques off, well, anyone, not just the prejudiced against folk. Everybody knows those guys. I Naturally Assume I'm Different And More Enlightened. Pretty sure most folk think so too. And I think many are right. Everyone is a product of their environment. Parents, peers, teachers, heroes... So any one living on the planet has been exposed to racism, and might have laughed at a cruel/racist joke. But I really have a good opinion on the descendants of the Greatest Generation. All in all, most of us were raised with a sense of fair play and would prefer a color blind world and Dr. King's Dream. And then there's the Left ( uses racism for hate power. See from Che to Omar to BLM ) and the lingering Plantation attitude Rich Dems & Rednecks ( exploitation, assumptions of inferiority. See Jim Crow to Omar to "voter ID" ) Sigh. With "those" visibly hypocritical racists as an example it's not unusual for people to assume that all us Ofay Mother$%&##@ be like that. Sigh. However, I doubt Biden is anti-Semitic, especially. He works closely with Jewish people all the time, and by now, with his mouth, there'd be plenty of quotable dreck. So the "if you don't..." joke shouldn't be taken seriously. I'm not even going to bother to check! Between Trump and Biden and Media, I can't tell Babylon Bee Parody from CNN dishonesty from motormouth bragging... | ||

The "you ain't black" is true. I actually did see that soundbite / video on the news, it was a point he openly made in one of his speeches. In front of people. On purpose. The others...I don't know. | ||

The others were jokes, hence my follow-up joke that Snopes considers them mostly false. Here's the full Biden quote: He then added: “If you’ve got a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or for Trump, then you ain’t black.” https://apnews.com/0f8813ff34ac85bb4ce928ffd2265c9 6 | ||

On a more serious note, Democrats' plan since LBJ has been to secure the black vote for the next 200 years. That plan isn't working anymore, and Democrats know it. The Not So Great Society The black vote has been good for Democrats, but not for blacks. https://patriotpost.us/articles/44324-the-not-so-g reat-society-2016-08-17  | ||

It seems to me that we might be seeing a shift in politics. As some have pointed out, the Republican party is now Trumps party and it looks like he is building a coalition of grounded, hard working, value driven people of all races and religions. On the other side you have Marxist, socialists, those that still have the wool pulled over their eyes and the establishment desperately clinging to power. |
