Nobody's Buying "Stuff" Any More

Holy kersmokin' inventory bomb.

Amazon, Home Depot, Kohl's and Dollar General showed increased inventories from Q1 to Q2 2022.

Not necessarily a big deal in itself, but then there's this:

On an annual basis (2Q21 to 2Q22), Amazon's inventory is up 58% but sales up only by 10%.  Depot's inventory is +38%, sales only +6.5%  Walgreen's is doing OK with inventory up only 2.24%--but sales dropped by 4.2%.

Next, in the "who's worst?" category:

Kohl's inventory is +48.6%, sales off 8.52%--and there's Bed Bath & Beyond, with inventory up 12.5%, sales down 25++%.

If you have a professional shopper in the family (I do) set them loose!

Evers' "No Questions Asked!!" Spend-a-Thon

 If someone offered you several million dollars to spend on nice-sounding projects, NO QUESTIONS ASKED about receipts and documentation, nor even whether the nice-sounding project is useful.......

Well, then.....

You've met Tony Evers!

Rising Sea Levels? Can't Be!!

The usual crapola from the Usual Suspects.

Nearly 650,000 parcels of oceanfront property in the U.S. that currently sit on dry land will be at least partially submerged within 30 years due to rising sea levels from climate change,...

That cannot be so.

Obama told us that he would stop the rise of the oceans.

To prove it, Obama spent $Umpty-millions buying oceanfront land.

So.............is this "study" a lie, or is Obama a liar?

Hint:  "Both" is an acceptable answer to that question.

Follow the Money re: Froedtert

Froedtert Hospital has decreed that if you like your job there, you WILL be 'fully Vaxxed'.

The obvious question is "Why?"  We know that the Novavax Vaxx is not particularly effective in both preventing infection and in preventing contagion, and we have no friggin' idea of what the long-term effects will be.

More important is this:  the first edition of Red China/Fauci flu is serious or fatal for people who have other co-morbidities (overweight and aged being the two leaders), and subsequent versions of the flu are rarely fatal and rarely 'serious.'

So why is Froedtert pulling this stunt?

Froedtert is adjunct to the Medical College of Wisconsin.  While they are separate on paper, they are joined at the hip, particularly on the main campus.

Federal grant money goes to medical colleges for a variety of projects.

"Nice hospital and college you have here.  Would be a shame if there were no more Federal grants, eh? "

Mega(Watt) Laugh!

In Prison? Murder Rap? Tony Evers' Got Your Back!!

With the Memphis murders in the news, and the Waukesha Christmas killer on trial, it's fitting to review Tony Evers' record on releasing prisoners here in Wisconsin.

He does it a lot.

Gov. Tony Evers’ Parole Commission has released at least 884 convicted criminals, freeing them early on parole mostly into Wisconsin communities, including more than 270 murderers and attempted murderers, and more than 44 child rapists.

The list, from 2019 through 2021, includes some of the most brutal killers in Wisconsin history and some of the most high-profile. The cases span the state, from Kenosha to Rib Mountain, Wisconsin Right Now has documented through a public records request....

WRN provides a story or two about these Pals of Tony.

They are gruesome stories.  But then, living under the Evers regime is gruesome, anyway.  Ask any shopkeeper in Kenosha, or any survivor in Waukesha.  And remember:  those 270 (and 44) still have time left to practice their trade.

Democrats Falsely Claim 'Voters Disenfranchised'

The usual claim, and as usual, without evidence.  

This from an editorial in today's Pravda concerning a decision on 'curing':

...Democrats blasted Republicans for pursuing the restrictions in the first place. 

"An entire political party has such horrible policies and ideas that instead of responding to voters’ needs and embracing the future, they are instead clinging to the past and focusing on preventing votes from counting," Sen. Chris Larson, D-Milwaukee, said in a tweet. ...

Larson (who is actually just that crazy) presented no evidence for his claim.

That's because he's a Democrat.  Democrats lie, all the time.  It's what they do.

How the Left "Manages" Electricity for Fun and Profit

Begin with a Big Lie:  that human activity is creating global cooling.

When the numbers change, Big Lie again, saying that human activity makes global warming.

When that makes you look like a fool--or a Big Liar--switch to 'climate change.'  But make sure you continue the Big Lie that it's human activity causing the trouble.

It's not trouble, of course; it's a way to make a LOT of money.  Doom sells.  So sell Doom.  Hard.  Suburban housewives will lap it up like box wine.

With Assured Doom as background, start the money-making with windmills and 'solar' energy.  Claim that 'solar' and 'wind' are free!!  Bury the fact that hydro is free; instead, demolish hydro for the sake of 3 fish.  (Another benefit?  Demolishing hydro's dams also demolishes water reserves, thus killing off farmers--the kulaks who vote against you.)  Make it clear to the utilities that YOU are in charge.  Throw regulations at them, with "license renewal" attached.  Utility managers are weak sisters; they'll do whatever to keep their rather nice jobs.

Now you're ready!

You've managed to make electric supplies unreliable, subject to bureaucratic whim.  Shut it down at will to let the kulaks and their normie pals know who's really in charge.  Light it up again, shut it down.  Whenever.  Wherever.  Be like Texas' politicians and mandate fail-assured (not fail-safe) practices.  Lie like Hell again about DOOM!!! if anyone sees through your scheme.

One more thing:  be sure to bank all the money from selling wind turbines and solar panels someplace safe just in case the peasants revolt.  We hear Davos is a nice place to live and it has very cooperative banks.

Children's Hospital Wisconsin: Tranny Heaven!!

When you come right down to it, follow the money.

...Our skilled staff will meet with new patients through age 16 on an individual basis for comprehensive evaluations, mental health consultations and education. Our services also include puberty-suppressing hormone therapy, gender-affirming hormone therapy, surgical treatments, and speech/voice training. Furthermore, we can provide children and adolescents with connections to other resources and support within Children’s Wisconsin and the community....

THROUGH age 16?

Meaning "up to the age of 16"?

Beginning when?  Age 2?  6?  8? 

It's likely this is partially funded by Pritzker money--but that's not openly acknowledged.

Very Good Advice

Western Rifle Shooters gives all of us some useful advice.

They Are Mad, as in "Crazy"

"Mad dogs" are not angry pooches.  They are afflicted with distemper, which affects their brains and causes them to do 'crazy' things.

This brings us to Mad Democrats.

Nearly one in four Democratic voters believe men can get pregnant, according to a new poll.

The online survey, conducted by WPA Intelligence from August 22-25, found 22% of Democrats agreed with the statement, “Some men can get pregnant.” The percentage rose when only including women, and a whopping 36% of white, college-educated female Democrats concurred....

IOW, their women are crazier than their men. 

That should come as no surprise to anyone who dealt with a Mask Nazi female during the Wuhan Fluhan faux-crisis, or a woman insisting that her offspring with the testes is actually her offspring with ovaries.

They are, indeed, mad.

The novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" presented the best method of dealing with mad dogs.  We should be more humane, of course.  Lifelong confinement to a home for the insane is appropriate.

Ignorant (R) WEC Member. More Fraud Coming!!

Looks like the Fraud of '22 (and '24) is well underway already!!

The state Elections Commission approved new guidance for clerks that allows those returning ballots in person for disabled voters to do so without providing any identification....

How very nice of them!  So we don't know who the Hell is walking around with ballots, but that's not a problem because "chain of custody" is so damn RAAAAAAAAAAAACISSSSS and all.

... The commission OK’d the guidance last night 4-2 after retired Green Lake County Clerk Marge Bostelmann, a GOP appointee, sided with Dem members. That broke a stalemate as the commission split 3-3 on two GOP motions that sought to require various forms to attest that those returning ballots for others were doing it for a disabled voter....

Bostelmann is an ignoramus.  Yes, I said that and I will repeat it:  she is an ignoramus.  By co-incidence (??) she's also a friend of Robin Vos.

Green Lake County.  Dane County.  Brown County.  Kenosha County.  Racine County.  Milwaukee County.  One of these things is not like the others, and it is Green Lake County where--like Lake Wobegone--everyone is related to everyone else, there are few residents-per-town, and--since they're Republicans, they are honest.  Bostelmann thinks every County is Green Lake County.  She's an ignoramus. 

And yes, there's more!

[The policy] also states clerks don’t need to confirm that a voter receiving assistance is disabled.  

Because TAKE MY WORD FOR IT--but as we mentioned above, nobody knows who "MY" really is:  they don't have to provide ID.

A couple of men who know that the smell of fraud is present when (D) Commission members walk into the room had a couple of sensible ideas.

 ...Spindell proposed requiring the person providing assistance to certify the voter can’t personally deliver or mail the ballot due to a disability....

... Millis’ motion to only require those who return a ballot in person to fill out a certification also failed 3-3....

So once again, 'round 10 PM, when it's obvious that the Democrats have to bring in another 30-40,000 votes to defeat the Republican, those votes will materialize, emerging from storage areas reserved for "votes of disabled people."  They'll be in Milwaukee, Racine, Brown, Kenosha, and Dane Counties.

But not in Green Lake County, where the election clerks went home at 8:15 PM.

"Nuke Secrets"? Really?

The Usual Suspects (un-named, off the record) are saying that Trump kept material describing the nuke capacity of some other nation.

They expect us to believe that without evidence.

N.B.:  Sundance has a theory on the matter:

...I would be willing to bet the “document” in question is a letter from North Korean Chairman Kim Jong-Un to President Trump about the status of the DPRK military intent and weapons.  You might remember Chairman Kim and President Trump developed a good relationship and exchanged letters related to matters of national security between North Korea and the United States.

The Intelligence Community in combination with the U.S. military industrial complex and Senate Foreign Relations Committee, did not like that level of direct diplomatic contact and discussion between President Trump and Chairman Kim.  Direct communication between the two leaders subverted the IC’s ability to shape the DPRK messaging to support an interventionist and hostile U.S. geopolitical outlook.

The professional bureaucrats in charge of guiding and shaping all United States foreign engagements do not like being cut out of the geopolitical equations. ...

Meantime, in the provable, hard-copy world:

...The seizure of clothing, medical records, tax records and 500 pages of attorney-client privileged documents not covered by a warrant. The sharing of privileged documents with investigators.

More than simply appointing a special master to referee an evidence dispute, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon exposed this week a Justice Department search of former President Donald Trump's home that was initiated by his chief Democrat rival, that was carried out so sloppily that it violated the "least intrusive" mandate in the FBI agent's manual, and that failed to keep legally-protected materials from falling into the hands of investigators.

The problems uncovered so far placed Trump "at risk of suffering injury from the Government's retention and potential use of privileged materials," Cannon wrote, adding that a future indictment of the ex-president based on the Aug. 8 search of Mar-a-Lago "would result in reputational harm of a decidedly different order of magnitude."...

Ah, but that was the point!  Seize everything in sight, make copies for use at a convenient later date, leak-and-lie, and so f**n what if it's "privileged."?  We're the FEEBS.  We can do any damn thing we want to.

So far, boys.  So far.

The Testing Period

It is now obvious.  Roman Catholics and citizens of the US are being tested.  

That's not to say that those two categories of people are congruent, of course; but they have a number of beliefs in common.  There is a God, the 10 Commandments are a roadmap to the real and permanent destination of humans, love includes remonstrance and discipline as well as generosity and self-sacrifice, there are rights but those are subject to moral constraints, (etc.)

It's likely that the shared beliefs of those two classes (Americans and Catholics) would have an 80% (or larger) overlap on a Venn diagram, partly because most bottom-line American values are direct descendants of the Christian tradition.

But now both of those groups are being tested.

Joe Biden and his cabal are testing the love-of-country of Americans.

And Pp. Francis and his cabal are testing the love-of-Church of Catholics.

Peter's question, "Lord, to whom shall we go?" has become a question for Americans, not just Catholics, and no matter what, our loyalty is to the Church and our country (in that order.)

This is getting ugly.

What's Up With Amazon's Rooftop Solar Panels?

Apparently, Green can go bad.  Very bad.

...Of the 47 Amazon sites in North America with any sort of solar installation, at least six saw “critical fire or arc flash events” in that timeframe. This means that the electrical fires or explosions occurred at 12.7 percent of the facilities....

Amazon has taken all its solar panels down for inspection.

Hmmmm.

Big Joey's Big Lies

 So he came to Milwaukee, and in front of (maybe) 1,000 listless listeners, he just lied his ass off.

"We beat pharma this year!!!!!"  (Shouting, of course.  Just random SHOUT.  Nobody cared.)

Not.

Pfizer, Moderna, J&J, and Novavax are recipients of $$Umpty-Zillion--and Bai-Den is still pushing more across the table.

Further, he's a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wall Street:

...Joe Biden received over 2.5 times as many donations from Wall Street as Donald Trump did. That trend has carried over into the mid-terms as big business continues to strongly prefer the Democrat Party, with woke-ness becoming commonplace in executive offices. Are we really to believe that Wall Street prefers Republicans but just happens to give the vast majority of its donations to Democrats? Come on, no one actually thinks that’s true, and it’s ludicrous for Biden to now pretend he’s standing up against big business and hedge funds.

The Democrat Party is now a party almost exclusively controlled by over-educated, wealthy white elites. It is not the party of blue-collar workers, with its only remaining connection to the middle-class being its propping up of labor unions that then funnel back cash in return....

Screw him.

Evers: "SPEND MORE!!!"

No, not on cops, or prisons, dummy.  Not on additional help for prosecutors.  Nope.

He wants to spend an ADDITIONAL $2 BILLION on schools!!  

Which--by and large--have done very poorly on essentials like math, reading, and history, but which are doing better and better on grooming, self-pleasuring for 5-year-olds, lying to parents about their kid going tranny, and introducing pole-dancing classes for library hour!  So maybe your kids can't read or subract 2 from 10--but hey!  He and she are having all sorts of ..........ahhhhhh............fun!

Gov. Tony Evers today pledged to call for a nearly $2 billion increase in funding for public schools in the 2023-25 budget if he’s reelected.

Evers and state Superintendent Jill Underly today called for a host of state investments in things like literacy and math initiatives.

The biggest ticket items in the package included a call to increase revenue limits by $350 per pupil in 2022-23 and $650 in 2023-24. Under the plan, the state would provide $800 million in additional aid to hold down the impact on property taxes....

Let's not forget that social studies now teaches that the USA was racist at the start and remains that way because "systemic."

So we got the sex, the homo-sex, the tranny-sex, and the rrrrraaaaaaaaaycisssss ancestors.

You don't mind paying an extra $50/month for that, do you?

Camera Angle Manufactures "Crowd" at LaborFest

You've seen the local coverage of the Bai-Den event at LaborFest in Milwaukee.  

Lots of very tight shots of the "crowd" to make it seem that there were thousands present.

But there were NOT thousands.  There may have been ONE thousand.

If it were not for the heckler, this would have been SnoozerFest.

UPDATE:  Maybe 500 showed up for Bai-Den in Pittsburgh.  Maybe. 

Here's the actuality:

 

The Raid Comes Tumblin' Down

Breaking news from CBS  via Wauck.

...CBSNews’ Steve Portnoy. Notably, Portnoy points out that Judge Cannon takes at least two swipes at the government and makes some additional important statements. First, she questions the FBI’s reliability—offering two examples to support her skepticism. And Second, she strongly suggests that DoJ’s arguments against Trump’s executive privilege “overstate[] the law.” A Third important point: Cannon blocks any further investigation until the special master reports. Finally, Cannon reveals, among other things, that the FBI Raiders seized Trump’s medical records. Medical records? Passports? This is further confirmation of SWC’s view, shared by many, that 1) the warrant itself was overbroad and that 2) the search as conducted was overbroad. The implication is that the whole thing should be tossed out....

Perhaps it will be tossed out.  But it's not likely that Trump will get his papers back, as the FEEBS (and CIA, and NSA, and DoJ) cannot have them made available to the American public--which Trump fully intends to do.

Stay tuned.

Little Hitler-Biden Works From Tradition

Something that the Usual Suspects don't want you to remember:

...“the hatreds and convulsions of the 1930s” would go on for quite a while longer. FDR gave a Nazi Iron Cross to a conservative reporter he didn’t like in 1942, and retroactively smeared Calvin Coolidge as a fascist in his 1944 State of the Union address. President Truman would go on to compare his Republican opponent in 1948 to Hitler, setting a trend from Democrats that would go on to the present day....

IOW, what Little Hitler said the other night wasn't new, although the Hell-Red and Adler background was.

How's Them Sanctions Working??

You recall that England, under the direction of a philandering war-monger, decided to sanction Russia over Russia's rough-playing in Ukraine.

Well!!  The results of those sanctions are out!!

Coming to a theater near you, too.  Little Hitler also sanctioned the Russkies.....

Let's Go Electric!

 

Afghan Reality

Grim reality, actually.

..."Send Me" is also the title of a new documentary featuring former US Special Forces Operator, and Task Force Pineapple member, Tim Kennedy. Task Force Pineapple, you will recall, was a volunteer effort by some of us to rescue American citizens and allies from the collapse in Afghanistan. My own role was stateside and limited to facilitating international negotiations and trying to help set up a private airline to move refugees. Kennedy went on the ground. 

He was there to do what the US Government failed to do, then refused to do, then actively blocked attempts to do....

 ...No one in the military or the administration has paid any price for this betrayal of duty, of country, and of countrymen. Fourteen thousand Americans were abandoned; only God knows how many finally made it out. ...

Much as we dislike being called 'threats' to this Republic, it beats the Hell out of being left behind with a target on your back and lots of men with rifles looking for you--and your wife, and your children.

There can be no question that the current President is the most amoral man ever to occupy that office.  There are others who are close, but they cannot surpass this Occupant's level of cold-blooded murder.

"Income Inequality" Is Upside-Down. Stop Working!!

This report will cause eye-bleed at The Usual Suspect propaganda outlets--if they read it, of course.

Contrary to conventional wisdom, the most dramatic and consequential change in the distribution of income in America in the past half-century isn’t rising income inequality but the extraordinary growth in income equality among the bottom 60% of household earners....

Oh, really?  How did THAT happen??

 ...Real government transfer payments to the bottom 20% of household earners surged by 269% between 1967 and 2017, while middle-income households saw their real earnings after taxes rise by only 154% during the same period. That has largely equalized the income of the bottom 60% of Americans....

The way the Census Bureau calculates the numbers simply does not reflect reality.  Census ignores transfer payments (food stamps, welfare, earned-income rebates, social security, etc.) and also ignores income taxes paid.  The first is an addition to spendable income, the second is a subtraction.

Why do they ignore those?  Who knows?  What counts is "spendable cash," right?

It gets even more obvious when you figure the spendable cash per household person (per capita.)

  ...In the bottom quintile, there are on average only 1.92 people living in a household. The second and middle quintiles have 2.41 and 2.62 people respectively. After adjusting income for the number of people living in the household, the bottom-quintile household received $33,653 per capita. The second and middle quintile households had on average $29,497 and $32,574 per capita, respectively. The blockbuster finding is that on a per capita basis the average bottom quintile household received 14% more income than the average second-quintile household and 3.3% more than the average middle-income household.

The authors contend that THIS is the reason for the anemic labor-force participation rate.  We've all heard about the couch-potatoes, and blamed it on the Pandemic Welfare given by the Feds and States.  But now the pandemic is over with, yet participation remains.......not good.

As the labor organizer said in today's Pravda, 'it's not worth it' to work.

He's right.  If you're in that bottom quintile and file for all the freebies, you're going to do just fine.  Add a few hours' work per day, get the earned-income rebate, and eat caviar with your champagne.  Only suckers work 40++ hours/week or add second jobs.

The Gun Control Worked!!

Canada has very serious 'gun controls' in place.

And they worked!!

Canadian police are on the hunt for two suspects after at least 10 people were killed and more than a dozen were injured in a stabbing rampage....

Not one gun in sight!

Fuel Price Futures Graph

We call it 'fuel price futures' because it actually takes a long time for leases to turn into petroleum/gas energy.  (Trump was a beneficiary of Reagan!)  

Part of that long delay is going from a pasture to a working field, assuming there's some there there.  Another part is going from zero to sixty in a refinery--and as you know, refineries are built around the raw-material supply going in.  There is no "universal" refinery; Texas sweet ain't Venezuelan heavy. 

(Regarding refineries:  we absolutely must have more of them here in the US.  Even if Bai-Den actually begins leasing, he can (and likely will) kill off fossil fuels by "discouraging" refinery-building, which requires at least 20 years to pay back AND needs permits up the patootie.  Count on Little Hitler in the White House to play hide-the-weenie; if he's forced to issue more leases, he'll continue to make refineries into pariahs.  You lose.  Again.)

Anyhow, the WSJ put out a graphic (PowerLine source) which will tell you what prices will be in the future.  See if you can find Biden's contribution to heating/cooling/electricity/gasoline/diesel/lubricating stuff without a microscope.

Took the Filters Off!

Took the filters off and look what's actually there:

Dumb Crook Tricks

If you're from the Milwaukee area, you've heard about this guy.

A man wanted in connection with a Milwaukee homicide is dead after a police shooting downtown late Friday, Sept. 2.  The man, shot and killed by police in Milwaukee's downtown bar district following a lengthy high-speed chase around the city...

He was free on bond after conviction for child sex assault.  (Typical Milwaukee County judge.)  So when he saw a Chevy 3/4T truck at a construction site, he put a gun to the head of the driver and demanded the truck.

The truck had a PROMINENT company logo spread across the entire back window.

The child rapist then went to his ex-gf's house, killed her, and torched the house.

Two days later.......

This dumber-than-a-chipmunk crook was still driving the truck with the prominent company logo.  The cops spot the truck, which is kinda like noticing the sun in the sky, and took off after him.

Eventually he stopped and became very well-ventilated.  So well-ventilated that he assumed room temperature.

Lesson:  Scrape the logo off the truck window.

Hey!! Tim Michels!! Read This!!

Who knows?  Maybe some Michels staffer will push this across the table to him.

...Governors should not allow obviously corrupted institutions to have authority over their states’ residents. And they don’t need to. All that is required is the will to do right using the principle of state interposition, which I wrote about here. We need governors with the basic set of principles and the metaphorical cojones to act. 

True dissolution of federal agencies can be accomplished by states saying those agencies can no longer operate inside their borders. This is quite arguably within the constitutional authority of states. For instance, the EPA would have no more authority in Texas. The Texas Environmental Protection Division would enforce the Texas legislature’s laws and the will of Texans. This would undoubtedly be challenged in court, but it follows the very basic Jeffersonian principle: “The government closest to the people serves the people best.” 

If enough red states act in this way, they will erode the federal agencies’ permanent bureaucratic power and begin to collapse them. That could work to embolden squishy GOP members of Congress to locate their spines. And then we could have a spiral of momentum to actually do what is needed. ...

Can't wait to see Bice's head start spinning right off his body if Tim makes that a platform statement.  THAT would be worth a lot of large campaign contributions, no? 

The FEEBS' Fake Fotos

Gee.  We're shocked!!  SHOCKED, I say!!

Paul Sperry:  BREAKING: A major discrepancy has surfaced between the “detailed property inventory” DOJ filed with the court and the inventory receipt the FBI gave Trump’s attorney the day of the search. Nowhere on the detailed inventory sheet does it list docs with “Top Secret/SCI documents” as it states on item “2A” of the receipt. Also, the photo of “2A” items shows coversheets with “Top Secret/SCI” on them, yet again, the detailed inventory does not account for any SCI material, which is the most sensitive classified information requiring reading in a secure SCIF facility. Was there, in fact, no such material found at Mar-a-Lago? Did DOJ mislead the court — and public — with that staged photo it included as an exhibit? 

Of course the FEEBS and DoJ misled the Court and the public.

And the mockingbird press did exactly what was expected of them.

Pathetic Jesuit: Fr. Martin

A favorite of Stephen Colbert will not understand that humility is a virtue.

Fr. James Martin, LBGTQ+SJ:

...Quoting Bishop Donald DeGrood of the Diocese of Sioux Falls’ pastoral guidelines which ban Catholic students from advocating, celebrating and expressing “same-sex attraction” and transgenderism, Martin said “people should be able to, and encouraged to, ‘celebrate’ who they are and, more importantly, how God made them, including LGBTQ people.” ...

Oooooh!!

Do heterosexual men run around 'celebrating themselves,' Fr. Jimmy?  

No.  

Actual men and women go about their business, working, raising children, fishing, paying taxes, contributing to the community.  They do not spend time 'celebrating themselves'--which is actually mental masturbation.

Humility calls us to STFU.  You should try it sometime.

Defund Only ONE? Why Stop There?

This is a very neat rule!

...The Holman Rule was created in 1876 and named after an Indiana congressman who conceived of letting any member of Congress move to amend an appropriations bill to single out a government employee or cut a specific program. The measure would have to be approved by a majority of lawmakers in the House and Senate....

OK.  So what?

Well, after the Red Wave of this November, things are going to change in DC, especially since Lady Lindsey Graham won't have much to do with a HOUSE rule.

 ...Biggs believes the rule could be further adapted to reduce the pay of any government witness who refuses to comply with a congressional subpoena seeking evidence or testimony.

"I anticipate further obstruction on the part of Merrick Garland," he said. "But we may have to find a way, to devise a way to go around Merrick Garland to get these people to come in. And that's why I think [what] we need to do first and foremost is reinstate the Holman rule, so that we get to hold people like Merrick Garland responsible.

"And that Holman rule allows the Congress to basically defund an individual bureaucrat, who is willfully ... violating the subpoena power and oversight power of the United States Congress."...

Modify it to de-fund an entire agency or department and use it that way.  Saves a lot of time--and money--which is in extremely short supply after 30 years of Pissing It Away by Paul Ryan and Nancy Pelosi.

"Manly" Reporters Fear Pitchforks/Torches

Bice--an old man--expresses the stark, raving, fear that news reporters mockingbird propagandists have for such Weapons of Mass Destruction (!!!) as pitchforks and torches.

...Michels went on the attack against the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel over a story about his foundation's giving $250,000 to anti-gay and anti-abortion groups in 2020. 

Speaking on conservative talker Vicki McKenna's show on Thursday afternoon, the Brownsville construction executive called the story "crazy" and "absurd" in his fiery remarks. 

"I believe people should just be ready to get out into the streets with pitchforks and torches with how low the liberal media has become," Michels said. "People need to decide, ‘Am I going to put up with this? Am I going to tolerate this — taking somebody that gives money to churches or cancer research and use that as a hit piece in the media?’ I’m appalled. It’s disgusting.”...

In fact, Michels was attacked for donating money to churches; the same churches to which hundreds of thousands of Wisconsin voters donate.  But those are not the Churches of Baby-Killing and Sodomy for Kindergarteners--the ones progressive reporters prefer.

Michels--like Trump--is a threat to the Progressive Dystopia Society.  That's why Manly Men like Bice fear him.

How "Ranked Choice Voting" Really Works

All you need to know is this:

...That so-called modern “innovation” on elections in Alaska produced this bizarre result, in which Republicans lost a House seat despite getting 60% of the vote....

Yup.  Pubbies got 60%, a Democrat gets elected.

Let's hope that Robin Vos doesn't fall for this crap like he fell for drop-boxes, eh?

Trumpism. Third Posting

This is the third posting (with slight editing).  We'll keep this up as long as it takes.  Der Wannabee-Fuhrer in the White House can kiss my ass.

We first posted this in May, then re-posted in August.  We'll keep putting it up until the RINOs are all out of office, if for no other reason than to shame them.  (Yes, I know they have no shame.)

What Trump endorses and what Trumpists believe:

Bring jobs and industries back to America. End our reliance on Communist China and build American supply chains instead of “global supply chains.”  Buy American and hire American....

 Forget free-trade dogma—defend American workers and businesses against the predations of a global corporate oligarchy. Do what’s good for American citizens rather than what’s good for “the global economy.”

America’s voters believe in countries and national sovereignty, not in submission to the alphabet soup of transnational authorities such as the WTO, WHO, G20, OECD, and so on.

[We] chose to restrict immigration to end the downward pressure on American wages.

[We] believe in rule by elected representatives rather than by a permanent state bureaucracy and judges accountable to no one.

[We] chose to end the military adventurism of endless wars that drains our blood and treasure and destroys tradition and cultures here and abroad. Make our allies pay their fair share for their defense. [We] recognized “America’s leadership role in the world” is fancy talk for making America the “policeman of the world,” and said, “No thanks.”

[We] know we must rebuild America rather than embark on nation-building projects around the world.

[We] feel in their gut we must break up the monopolies that control our media, technology, and economy and have an undue influence over our society and government.

[We] rejected the neo-Marxist ideology of race and gender identity and stood up for American national identity, Western civilization, Judeo-Christian culture, and traditional values of God, personal responsibility, and inalienable rights such as freedom of speech granted by our Creator, not the government....

Go ye, therefore, and do likewise.

Kiss Mandela Goodbye

It would be fun to see this on Wisconsin air, wouldn't it?

Think Grossfuhrer Biden's Winning?

You can look at NBC/AP/WSJ/Marquette/CNN/ABC polls all you like.

Then look at this short video.

As an alternative to the video, look at the numbers presented here at PowerLine.

The "polls" you see in Teh Nooz are called 'suppression polls;' they're designed to make Republicans give up and stay home.

Believe what you SEE, not what they tell you.

Why Der Fuhrer Wants More $$ For Ukraine

It is reported that Gross-Fuhrer Herr Biden is demanding another $~15 BILLION for Ukraine.

The reason?

Ukraine got its ass kicked in its 'counter-offensive' at Kherson.  This defeat allowed the IAEA to enter the area to inspect the nuke plant (now property of the Russians).  It ALSO prevented Ukraine from sabotaging that plant and placing the blame on Putin.

Indirect confirmation of the Russian victory was provided by CNN, quoting US military sources who distanced the US from the op.

Meantime, another report has a massive demonstration against the Czech government over the support that Government is giving Ukraine.  Why?  Because the Czechs like to be warm in the winter.

Leading the WI Election Commission

You may think that the Commission (6 members) runs the elections office in Wisconsin.

You are wrong.  They are there as decoration to make Robin Vos, Scott Fitzgerald, and Scott Walker feeeeeeeeelllll good.

The real leader?

Reading the Employment Report

Sundance hits the sore that Bai-Den doesn't want you to know about.

...A total of 363,000 more teenagers [16-19] started working in August, yet the total net gain in employment overall was 315,000 jobs. ...

Men and Latinos are losing jobs.

How the Democrats Do It

C.S.Lewis' Perelandra (the last second book of his trilogy) is reviewed here.  In the midst of the essay, we find that Lewis knows very well how the Democrats/Leftists--and often Republican 'rightists'--gain their votes by pretending to be virtuous.

...The problem with debating with evil is one which Christians have encountered time and again but which bears remembering: evil is not simply the opposite of good. It is good that has been bent and marred. Ransom’s arguments fail more times than they succeed because the Un-man uses mostly truth to support the deepest falsehoods. In admonishing her to break Maleldil’s commandment out of true piety, or out of unselfish regard for others, the Un-man should remind readers of certain pastoral and humanitarian calls to excuse sin in the name of charity, or to condone deeply damaging actions for the sake of “the weakest among us.”...

Always the subtle lie, the partial-truth.  Few American students have been trained in rigorous analysis of moral questions--and even fewer have been trained in What.  Is.  True.  

Lewis' tale warns us that failure should be expected, but not accepted.

Pray harder!

What the BidenJunta Wants

Chris Manion tells us the method used by the BidenJunta, and the results they expect.

...the Biden Junta is running the show, and they are fully trained in disinformation and deflection. They know full well that the Cadaver-in-Chief’s hateful slogans have a subconscious impact that serves the Revolution.

They’re right. Words matter. In seizing “MAGA,” they mimic Lenin’s 1917 tactics. They hijack symbols and slogans that are too powerful to destroy and do their best to reverse-engineer them: with Joe’s handlers, “Make America Great Again” becomes a weapon to destroy America.

Expect the Democrat Party and its media mouthpieces to sustain this chorus through the election. Already, The New York Times condemns the “violent rhetoric from the right” More will follow.
So we should pay attention to the words that their mouthpieces are saying. Consider Attorney General Merrick Garland’s invocation of “white supremacism.” Eighteen months ago he said it was “the top domestic violent extremist threat.”

Well, there hasn’t been any “white supremacist violence” since — so the Biden Junta has to create it. The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security join in, goaded on by Joe Biden, whose top priority is to “defeat Trumpism” — targeting some one hundred million Americans for “defeat.”
They want violence. They’re doing their best to stoke it. But when they do, like Hitler 83 years ago this week, they’re going to blame us....

What Manion doesn't say--but which must be said--is that if the Junta fails to trigger violence from MAGA, they'll false-flag some.  Count on it.

Professional Spinner of WEC Squirms.....

The brainchild of Robin Vos and Scott Fitzgerald is a piece of garbage.

After a Wisconsin resident ordered up several ballots on-line by pretending to be voters and exposing the Vos/Fitzgerald (and Walker) system to be absolutely useless against crooks, the professional spinner-lady fronting the Wisconsin Election Commission Democrat-Electing Machine squirmed out a statement.

..."Just like a nefarious individual could misuse the personal information or identity of someone to commit something like a financial fraud, someone can also unlawfully use an individual’s personal information to commit election fraud."...

No kidding, tootsie!

Let's tweak her squirmy-wormy statement towards the truth of the matter in 2020:

"Just like a nefarious person could misuse... personal information to commit financial fraud, .......a nefarious Democrat operative from New York City, funded by a California Lefty, could misuse midnight mass-vote drops into unguarded drop-boxes by requesting mail-in ballots in the names of people adjudged incompetent, or who are dead, or who have moved.......but don't say that out loud!!!"

Wisconsin voters (the real, legitimate, ones) owe a big debt of gratitude to Harry Wait of Union Grove, and Robin Vos and Scott Fitzgerald owe him an apology.  Let's hope Harry's not holding his breath for that apology.

The Stupids Who Funded BLM

If you're a shareholder in any of these outfits, keep up with the news.  You may have a lawsuit to bring against The Stupids who 'manage' your company.

First, a bit of background.

The leader of the national Black Lives Matter group has been accused of stealing more than $10 million from the charity’s donors.

Black Lives Matter Grassroots, a nonprofit group that represents local BLM chapters across the country, accused the BLM Global Network Foundation and its board secretary, Shalomyah Bowers, in a lawsuit Thursday of fraudulently siphoning over $10 million in “fees” to Bowers’s consulting firm. The lawsuit, which was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, says Bowers treated the BLM Global Network Foundation as his “personal piggy bank” and has acted as a “rogue administrator” and “middle man turned usurper.”

The BLM Global Network Foundation represents the national BLM movement and was the entity that received over $90 million in the wake of George Floyd’s police killing in the summer of 2020....

No, that's not all.  IRS has been knocking on BLM's door, and even the Tides Foundation (!!!!) has cut off disbursements to that outfit.

Now, then.  Which companies threw money into the personal-housing account called "Black Lives Matter"?

... Google has committed $12 million, while both Facebook and Amazon are donating $10 million to various groups that fight against racial injustice. Apple is pledging a whopping $100 million...

 Walmart announced that it will contribute $100 million over five years...

 Square Enix announced a $250,000 donation 

 Gaming company Ubisoft tweeted that the company will donate $100,000 to the NAACP and Black Lives Matter organization

Etsy announced  a total contribution of $1 million in an Instagram post. The company is donating $500,000 to the Equal Justice Initiative and $500,000 to the Borealis Philanthropy's Black-Led Movement Fund...

Not ALL those moneys are going directly to BLM; some are going to BLM subsidiaries and perhaps other (legitimate) minority-oriented charities and projects.

Should a prudent shareholder ask for lots more information?  You be the judge.

Green Bay Will Drop "Drop Boxes"

The Thomas More Society wins again.

The City of Green Bay has told the judge in an election integrity lawsuit that it will no longer use ballot drop boxes.

Green Bay "became the fourth Wisconsin city to back down in the face of voter lawsuits over the use of unmanned absentee ballot drop boxes in elections," the Thomas More Society, which brought the lawsuit on behalf of two Wisconsin voters, said in an Aug. 31 report....

...Kenosha, Racine, and Madison have also said they will no long use the ballot drop boxes which were used extensively in the 2020 election and were the subject of accusations of illegal ballot harvesting, which was highlighted in Dinesh D'Souza's documentary "2000 Mules."...

All of which is to say that those cities were wrong, they KNEW that they were wrong, and they did it anyway.

Note well:  Milwaukee--the most corrupt of the bunch--has still not discontinued its drop-boxes.  

 ...Milwaukee’s Elections Commission on Tuesday [March 15, 2022] announced it will continue to use drop boxes, despite a ban endorsed by the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

Milwaukee Election Commission Director Claire Woodall-Vogg told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that adding election workers at the Milwaukee drop boxes should be enough to work around the court’s ban....

The Democrats think they can stuff enough fraudulent ballots into Milwaukee's totals to overcome the loss of the other co-conspirators Madison, Racine, Green Bay, and Kenosha.

You can bet that those other four are cooking up new ways to pull off another Election Fraud in '24.

Dear RoJo: Vote NO!!

Both Ron Johnson and Scott Fitzgerald lost their minds last time around and voted $40 BILLION to protect the borders of the most corrupt country in Europe.  The one in which the USA has absolutely zero vital national interests (but one which paid off Biden's spawn very handsomely.)

So now, President Sponge-Brain-Shits-Pants--an Adolf wannabee--is demanding another $14 BILLION or so for the same place.

Ron, tell Mitch McConnell and Mr. Divisive to go to hell on this one.  Vote NO!

Did Amazon Kill Brick-and-Mortar? Nope.

As Mark Twain remarked, 'the report of my death was an exaggeration.'  So it may be with brick-and-mortar retail.

Amazon's pandemic-fueled warehouse expansion appears to have run its course, and the company is now reportedly scaling back the growth of its operations.

The e-commerce behemoth has closed or scrapped plans for 42 facilities and delayed opening 21 facilities spanning multiple countries over recent weeks as the company readjusts to a post-lockdown reality, consultant firm MWPVL estimated, per Bloomberg....

 ...Warehouse slim-downs are only part of the equation. Amazon's total workforce plummeted by nearly 100,000 during the second quarter, marking the largest contraction from quarter to quarter in Amazon's history, according to the outlet. 

Yah, well, rumors of Amazon's illness aren't the same as rumors of its death.  Amazon will be fine, but so will well-run and attractive brick-and-mortars.

The Real Bill Barr Emerges

We had suspected it for years, beginning with his defense of the FBI murderer shooter who took out a mother holding her infant in a doorway years ago.

While everyone in this country is entitled to defense--even Horiuchi--there are plenty of lawyers.  Some of them are engaged in defending political prisoners in D.C. 

We don't see Bill Barr defending the J-6 political prisoners, do we?  Is he applying his 'Catholic charity' to those men and women?  Nope.

So yah--Barr's sympathies seem to run in one direction.

Now he comes out and cries, shedding alligator tears about how Trump treated the Department of "Justice."  Awwwww......Billy.....should Mommy put a band-aid on that owie??

...“Now, let me just say, I think the driver on this from the beginning was, you know, loads of classified information sitting in Mar-a-Lago. People say this was unprecedented, but it’s also unprecedented for a president to take all this classified information and put him in a country club. And how long is the government going to try to get that back? You know, they jawboned for a year. They were deceived on the voluntary actions taken. They then went and got a subpoena. They were deceived on that. They feel and the record, the facts are starting to show that they were being jerked around. And so how long, you know, how long do they wait?”...

It's propaganda, of course.  Barr has NO IDEA of what was or what was not 'classified'; he has no idea of what was or was not negotiated.  He wasn't there, remember?  His perfidious ass was fired a long before Trump left office.  So all he "knows" is what someone in DoJ told him.  At this time, DoJ's reputation for honest dealing is zero, as is that of the FBI.  Nobody would buy a used car from Merrick Garland, pal.

Notably, Barr doesn't mention the 'personal' vs. 'government' records question, and his asinine caricature of how Trump 'stood over 150 boxes and declared them not classified' is just that:  asinine.

Barr should be in the confessional for a couple of hours just for that interview.

More, from Last Refuge:

...In May of 2019, at the conclusion of the Mueller investigation – a roadblock to document release that was removed, Bill Barr asked President Trump not to declassify and release the evidence of DOJ and FBI misconduct in the Trump-Russia scheme, and instead allow him to have control over the classified documents to include the timing of their release.  President Trump placed his trust in the AG, but Bill Barr never released anything because Bill Barr never intended to release anything.

For Bill Barr to speak on the documentary evidence that Trump declassified and then took copies to Mar-a-Lago, is essentially for Bill Barr to reflect anger at the possibility those documents would eventually come out, thereby besmirching his beloved institutions and creating damage.  Of course, Bill Barr is going to oppose President Trump, the potential release of those documents, and align himself with the DOJ interests, because that was the entire purpose of Bill Barr during the Trump administration....

He's a cretin.

Tightening the Noose on Fools in Europe

The Germans laughed at Trump when he told them that depending SOLELY on Russia for life-blood natural gas was foolish.

Putin takes up the laughter.

...After a 3-day halt, Russian energy giant Gazprom was expected to resume critical supplies of nat gas to Europe via Nord Stream 1 tomorrow, but it appears that Putin who is enjoying the game of cat and mouse a little too much, had other plans and as a result, Russian gas flows toward Europe won't be coming back any time soon, as moments ago Gazprom announced that it had "completely halted" transport of gas to Nord Stream until a previously undetected oil leakage is rectified....

The (Green Party) German government announced a couple days ago that it would 'stand by Ukraine no matter the cost to Germans.'

Since Germans are a largely-disarmed population, that's easy to say. 

Is That Hitler's Adler Back There?

Brandon gave his Totalitarian Screed last night, directly in front of a background which is very close to the Hitler Reichsadler.  Fitting, no? 

Let's go a bit further and make a few slight changes to a speech made in 1939 by a Viennese failure (as an artist).

... "I have very often in my lifetime been a prophet and have been mostly derided. At the time of my entry into congress, it was in the first instance the Republicans who only greeted with laughter my prophecies that I would someday take over the leadership of the state and of the entire people of America and then, among other things, also bring the fascist Republican problem to its solution. I believe that this hollow laughter of Republicans in America has already stuck in its throat. I want today to be a prophet again: if the Republicans should succeed in stealing another election, the result will be not their victory, but the annihilation of the fascist Republican party in America!"...

Doesn't require much in the way of changes, does it?

Now to the pictures!  (ADDED 9/3:  Naomi Wolf, professional image consultant, noticed the same thing.)

First, the Reichsadler, then the Joey-boy.

Biden's Lying

Biden claimed--without evidence--to have a soul during his inauguration speech.

That was the first Big Lie of his term.  There are plenty more of his lies, and every damn one of them is Without Evidence.

Lightfoot Declares War on Texas

This will be fun to watch.

“I’m happy to take and drain Texas of all of its residents...."

Said the Midget Mayorette of this country's Murder Capital.

One method she could use:  send the Black P Stones, Vice Lords, and Four Corners membership to Texas to 'drain Texas of ....its residents.'  Lori has far more of them than she needs, as evidenced by the murders, shootings, drug crimes and deaths....and there would still be about 52 other Chicago gangs remaining in town to take up the slack in murders, etc..

Yes, that would be fun to watch.  Texas meets Black P Stone....

Cdl. Steiner: Ignorant or Lying?

Another FrancisCardinal tries to gaslight us.

...“In 2014, Your Eminence advocated for the recognition of homosexual civil unions. So my question is, given that the teaching of the Church on the sinfulness of homosexual acts is part of the deposit of faith, how do you justify the legal recognition of such unions?” Steiner was asked by LifeSiteNews.

Invoking the support of Pope Francis on the issue, Steiner answered that it was a matter of obtaining financial security for homosexuals. “Many of them live together until the end of their lives without security,” the cardinal said. “They do not have assistance from health services. This is very serious. I have seen people going toward the end (of their lives) without money. Thus, you can see that Pope Francis has spoken many times about this.”...

Oh, really, Eminence?

Is 'going....without money....' restricted to homosexuals only, Cardinal?

Is 'living without....security' only a gay thaanggg?

Doesn't your country have lawyers who can draw up agreements to cover such HORRIFIC CATASTROPHES???

Yes, it IS a moral question, Eminence--and so the fact that you're now a Cardinal is a moral question, too, if you get my drift.

Francis and Biden, Peas in a Luciferian Pod

The more Pp Francis and Joe Biden speak, the more it seems they have the same agenda.

...There is a “worldly spirit” of going backward that is “disguised as tradition” and is “fashionable today,” he said.

This “backwardism,” he said, “is a temptation in the life...

Sorta like those MAGA people who go backwards to the Constitution--a "tradition" which is "fashionable" for them.  That "backwardism" thing, ya'know, where schoolchildren learned reading, writing, math, and history--not pole-dancing, self-pleasuring, and sex-switching before 5th grade.

Just like Joe, Francis wants to stamp out Certain People.  I'm willing to bet they're the same in the USA and in the Church.

 

'Massive' Censorship by The Troll--Fauci

The lawn-ornament troll Anthony Fauci--plus several dozen Bai-Den Administration figures in DoJ, State, the White House, FBI, (!!) Homeland Security, CDC, and other "health" agencies--engaged in a "massive, sprawling" social-media censorship campaign.

And surprise!!!  Zuckerbook, Twits, and Google were happy to co-operate.

Yet we're told that MAGA is "anti-democracy."  

Not to worry:  the lawsuit here will be declared RACISSSSSS!!! and FASCISSSSS!! by the intellectual giants at MSNBC and CNN.  Charlie Sykes will join in at the Bul<strike>wark</strike>shit because he's that kinda guy.

Lying.  It's what they do.

Networks Dump Biden. Hmmmmm

Daily Mail reports that only CNN and MSNBC carried Biden's Declaration of Totalitarianism.

Hmmmm.

ABC, NBC, CBS, and Fox declined.

Hmmmm.

Tony Evers-Created Worker Shortage

It's one thing not to have ANY bodies for a job.

It's another thing entirely to have the bodies but screw up the licensing.  That's what Tony Evers did.

Thousands of Wisconsin workers are waiting on the state's Department of Safety and Professional Services to issue them a license or renew an existing one.

"Initially, it was pretty frustrating. This isn't just something I've experiencing, there's a lot of my co-workers that have been in this process for over a year or 2 years and they finally get their license after a couple years," said Steven Burton, a mental health case worker for Manitowoc County working on his out-of-state license at the time, and in limbo waiting for his Wisconsin license so he can work as a social worker....

Evers screwed up Unemployment Comp, screws up professional licensing, and screwed up the Public Defender's office.

But educators got plenty of money.

Time for Tony to go back to the classroom.  He can only screw up 25 kids at a time there.

Mordecai Lee Flushes His Creds

About 20 years ago, Mordecai Lee was an honest Lefty.

Now he's just auditioning for MS-NBC.

...Lee also points out the results were confirmed at every level, including the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

"(Trump) lost in a recount. He lost in the certification. He lost in the appeals. Can't we say case closed?" said Lee....

Sure.  No court in this entire country--much less in Wisconsin--reviewed the evidence that was presented.  Not one.  And Lee, who is not as dumb as he plays with his 'aw shucks' lines, knows that. \

But Lee got what he wanted:  a hard-Left Totalitarian President.  And that's all we have to know about "Aw, Shucks" Mordecai.

(At some point in time, "news" people here might find another PolySci prof.  After all, there are TWO major universities in Milwaukee plus a number of smaller schools--but that would ruin The Narrative, wouldn't it?)

WI AFL-CIO Labor Day Laugher

The AFL-CIO leader in Wisconsin produces a real laugh-line.

 "Whether we have an economy that works for all or one that benefits just the privileged few is among the most critical issues on voters’ minds this fall. We’ve made significant progress for working people in the last two years. The Infrastructure bill, the CHIPS Act, Inflation Reduction Act, student debt relief and more workers exercising their freedom to join a union have put our nation on a path to a more fair and just economy for workers and their families."...

Infrastructure plus Inflation "Reduction" Act = Horrific Inflation and more coming.

And handing Harvard Law grads $10-20K from the taxes of Joe the Plumber or Bob the Machinist?  Yah, that's 'advancing the cause of labor.'

No surprise that most of the AFL-CIO membership votes Trump, just like they did Reagan.

RoJo Blasts Vos. GOOD!!

About time that Vos gets told what's what here.

...Johnson told a Fox Valley business group Wednesday that he did not agree with Speaker Robin Vos' decision last week to withdraw subpoenas issued by Gableman to the mayors of Madison and Green Bay and Wisconsin Elections Commission officials....

 ..."You just gave up. You conceded legislative oversight over an entity you created. And you’re going to let that entity have a leader, that entity the Wisconsin Elections Commission just say, you know, give you the middle finger and say, ‘we’re not going to tell you what we did. We’re not going to show you the records.'

“So now those election records are required by law to be held for 22 months, why? So you can go back and look at them. We were never able to look at them, so now they’ll be destroyed....

 That analysis is dead-on.  Vos is covering his ass.  No surprise, given what Gableman learned about Vos--that he's just a miserable, lying, politician.

ISM's PMI for August? Great!!

I'll use Yahoo's summary:

...New Orders and Employment Expanding; Production and Backlogs Growing; Supplier Deliveries Slowing at a Slower Rate; Raw Materials Inventories Growing; Customers' Inventories Too Low; Prices Increasing at a Slower Rate; Exports Contracting; Imports Growing...

The number is 52.8, which indicates growth in the economy, same as July, now 27 months of ++ in a row.

+Coakley Has a Good Point

If you're paying attention, you know that the family is THE building-block of a rightly-ordered society.  If you're paying attention, you know that CHILDREN--not war--are the health of a nation.

So when Bp. Coakley calls for

...promoting the welfare of working families through both charitable works and through advocacy for improved policies such as expanding the Child Tax Credit and passing the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act. Advancing these two policies would have a profound impact on family stability, especially for families who are financially vulnerable,”...

he's absolutely correct.

But after Congress completely mangles the idea with contra naturam lies such as "birthing person" or "penis person" or "Tranny Power Forever!!" it's likely that +Coakley will  regret issuing that statement.

Consuming Anything? See This!

 

Bandera Camp in Baraboo, WI

What a privilege Baraboo has!!  A camp run by followers of Stepan Bandera, a notorious Ukrainian Nazi!

From Scott Ritter's piece describing the New York State sister-camp:

...The camp boasts a “Heroes’ Monument”, consists of a 42-foot-tall structure with a Ukrainian trident at the top flanked by the busts of Yevhen Konovalets, Symon Petliura, Roman Shukhevych and Stepan Bandera —four leading figures in the history of Ukrainian nationalism, all of whom were involved in the murders, collectively, of hundreds of thousands of Jews, Poles and Russians.

Bandera has been elevated to the status of a national hero in Ukraine, and his birthday is considered a national holiday.

That a monument to men responsible for genocidal mass murder and who, in the case of two of them (Shukhevych and Bandera) openly collaborated with Nazi Germany, could be erected in the United States is disturbing.

That every year Ukrainian-American adherents of the odious ideology of Stepan Bandera gather to celebrate his legacy at a “children’s camp” where the youth are arrayed in brown uniforms that make them look like what they, in fact, are — ideological storm troopers for a hateful neo-Nazi ideology that promotes the racial superiority of the Ukrainian people, is an national abomination....

Next thing, we'll see that fat little "Colonel" Vindman who lied about Trump leading goose-step marching for those kids.

Lesson in Tesla's "Service" Problems

 Apparently getting service for your Tesla is not a picnic.

...Tesla owners have complained for some time about many issues that come with Tesla’s repair services. Multiple Reddit posts and posts to online forums for Tesla shareholders show a long-running issue with Tesla’s repair services, along with more than 9,000 reports that the company’s customers have sent to the Better Business Bureau, it appears that Elon Musk’s repair service leaves much to be desired....

Tesla is famous for not having dealers, of course.  That means that service must be obtained from a very small pool of Tesla's own shops OR from independents who work on those cars, and there are not many of them at all.

The key word here is "dealer."  Good dealerships work hard at keeping customers happy with very good service--and good auto manufacturers work hard at finding and keeping good dealers.

Musk doesn't like the idea of sharing profit with dealers.  But his customers don't like his idea of "service."  In the long run, that's bad for Musk AND his customers.

Mke Brewers Pushing Transgender?

 Isn't this charming?

...The Milwaukee Brewers Pride Night, held during the team’s June 8 game against the Philadelphia Phillies, was put on in partnership with Aurora Health, which provides hormone therapy to minors. The Brewers also hosted a pregame drag-queen show, and the first pitch was thrown out by Dr. Sylvia Meltzer, who was billed as “a pioneer in providing transgender health care services.”...

The Brewers should concentrate on a transition to 1st place in their division instead of hyping irreversible attacks on nature.
