"The economy, stupid" is a phrase that is credited to a strategist in Bill Clinton's successful 1992 presidential campaign , James Carville.
Stealing from Winston Churchill, who used it to convince an entire nation to fight against a Nazi occupation, Obama chief of staff and Bill Clinton alum Rahm Emanual said “You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that, it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before,“ like pass Obamacare and centralize 1/12th of the US economy.
Another Clinton and Obama alumna, Samatha Powers recently said, “We’re working with farmers to also increase their production so you actually have more supply brought on market. Fertilizer shortages are real now because Russia’s a big exporter of fertilizer, and even though fertilizer is not sanctioned, less fertilizer is coming out of Russia,” she said. “As a result, we’re working with countries to think about natural solutions like manure and compost, and this may hasten transitions that would have been in the interest of farmers to make eventually, anyway. So, never let a crisis go to waste.”
Powers then implored Congress to give her agency the necessary aid to meet emergency food needs to avoid the “cascading, deadly effects” facing nations dependent on Russia for agricultural needs. Russia and Ukraine export over a quarter of the globe’s wheat supply, and Russia is the number one world supplier of wheat.
With inflation raging, food and formula shortages and gas prices over $5 I’m reminded of the Stalin regime’s imposed Ukrainian famine—known as the Holodomor, a combination of the Ukrainian words for “starvation” and “to inflict death”—which claimed the lives of 3.9 million people, about 13 percent of the population. And, unlike other famines in history caused by blight or drought, this was caused when a dictator wanted to replace Ukraine’s small farms with state-run collectives and punish independence-minded Ukrainians who posed a threat to his totalitarian authority.
Did Fox or CNN tell you 95 American food processing plants have been destroyed, damaged or impacted by “accidental fires,” disease, or general causes in 2022 alone? Coincidence or a man-made crisis not to waste?
Uncle Joe Stalin’s show trials were common during his political repressions, such as the Moscow Trials of the Great Purge period (1937–38). The Soviet authorities staged the actual trials meticulously. The trials were held against Stalin’s political enemies, such as the Trotskyists and those involved with the Right Opposition of the Communist Party.
What we just saw on primetime TV was a show trial worthy of Joseph Stalin. As leader of the U.S.S.R., Stalin would try people in public (with the verdict predetermined). All testimony would be distorted to provide the conviction. As Stalin’s secret police chief, Lavrentiy Beria, once said, “show me the man and I will show you the crime.”
Biden, Pelosi, former Wyoming Republican Liz Chaney and Democrats, and the fake news media want you to believe the Jan. 6 protest was the most violent “insurrection” in history.
What they don’t tell you is that the protests were mostly peaceful and the protesters caused minimal damage until their government fired on them with flash grenades, tear gas, and rubber bullets without warning.
The mainstream media reported the estimated damages from the January 6 protests came out to $1.5 million.
Black Lives Matter-Antifa mobs caused over one billion dollars in damages in cities across America since May 2020. In Minneapolis alone, Black Lives Matter mobs damaged or destroyed over 1,500 businesses or buildings in the 2020 riots.
Over 700 police officers were injured in the BLM riots.
As former speaker Newt Gingrich said, “The House Democrats and the turncoat former Republicans should be ashamed of themselves.
They have debased the House, undermined the Constitutional protections that guard Americans against their government’s power, and further increased public contempt for Washington politicians.”
Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs is the latest GOP lawmaker to signal he won’t cooperate with the Jan. 6 committee’s subpoena request, unless the panel justifies its reasoning behind the move. Mr. Biggs’ legal team raised concerns about the lack of information provided in the subpoena request, as well as the constitutional basis for issuing it to the Arizona Republican. The attorneys also stress in a letter to Rep. Bennie Thompson, the panel’s chairman, that the committee is entering uncharted territory in their efforts to subpoena sitting members of Congress.
And next door to our North, “You can’t use a gun for self-protection in Canada. It’s not a right that you have,” says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. In America we call them “inalienable rights”. Also known as God given rights. Who the hell is he, a mere mortal, to grant or revoke God’s human rights? A communist, of course.
As for our homegrown apparatchiks, breaching the four dams on the lower Snake River to prevent the extinction of native salmon, and replacing the benefits the dams provide such as hydropower and barging, could cost $27.2 billion, according to a draft report released Thursday by Gov. Jay Inslee and Sen. Patty Murray.
Republican representatives, led by Rep. Dan Newhouse, R-Wash., introduced federal legislation on Thursday to protect the four lower Snake River dams from being breached. Joining Newhouse to introduce the bill were Reps. Cathy McMorris Rodgers and Jaime Herrera Beutler, both in Washington; Cliff Bentz in Oregon; Russ Fulcher in Idaho and additional members of the Congressional Western Caucus. “Calling for the removal of the four lower Snake River dams after three straight years of improved salmon returns is misguided,” McMorris Rodgers said. “What’s alarming is trying to breach them at a time when families in Eastern Washington are paying record-high energy costs just to keep the lights on this summer.”
Sounds like a terrible crisis to waste, stupid.
