The "Limbaugh Theorem"... explains why Kama-Lama-Ding-Dong leads in the many (bogus) polls, as 0bummer did in 2008 & 2012.

Me | 9.06.2024 | Rush Limbaugh
Have you ever wondered why the lowlife, Marxist, socialist scumbag Obama -- aka ∅bummer-Boy -- did so well for 2 terms? And
why is the lowlife scumbag, socialist, Marxist Kama-Lama-Ding-Dong is doing to well in the polls? So did I, but after doing some "Rush Research", I found out ***why***: The Limbaugh Theorem (great article at that link). She is, as Obama did, running against herself, and her admin's policies, and it's not real... The Limbaugh Theorem:

It’s déjà blue: The media is promoting Kamala Harris without substance – just like Obama in 2008
|

NY Post ^
| 8/24/24 | Michael Goodwin
A year into Barack Obama’s presidency, Sarah Palin, a former Alaska governor and John McCain’s 2008 running mate, mockingly asked a Tea Party gathering a question: “How’s that hopey, changey stuff working out?” The
roomful of conservatives howled with laughter because by then, Obama’s dreamy campaign motto of “Hope and Change” had been replaced by hard policy lurches to the far left. The Palin question is a piece of history 2024 voters should keep in mind as they assess Kamala Harris. The parallels between then and now are striking. Like Obama, the Democrats’ current nominee has been maddeningly elusive about...

George W. Bush uttered 'the 10 most important words in the history of economics' during the 2008 financial crisis, Warren Buffett says — here's how they now apply in 2024

Instead of quoting a historical figure like Adam Smith, Daniel Kahneman or John Maynard Keynes, legendary investor Warren Buffett believes the most consequential words on modern economics came from a surprising source: former U.S. President George W. Bush. At the height of the 2008 financial crisis, Bush said: “If money isn’t loosened
up, this sucker could go down!” Buffett deemed this quip “the 10 most important words in the history of economics,” he told billionaire Dan Gilbert during an interview at the Detroit Homecoming event at the College for Creative Studies in 2014. Here’s why Buffett believes these words had...

Van Jones says excitement at RNC feels like ‘Obama 2008’: ‘There’s something happening’

| 07/19/2024 | Alexander Hall
Former Barack Obama adviser Van Jones argued Thursday that the energy at this week’s Republican National Convention was comparable to what he saw when the nation’s first black president was first nominated in 2008. Jones,
now a CNN senior political commentator, talked about the palpable “spirit” and enthusiasm he could feel among the people at the RNC. After CNN contributor Scott Jennings spoke with excitement about wrestler Hulk Hogan, UFC head Dana White and former President Donald Trump’s upcoming speeches at the RNC, Jones said, “This spirit that this guy [Jennings] has, you guys think it’s because he’s drunk, he’s...

In a video received by Independent Political Report earlier today, former Libertarian Party Vice-Presidential nominee Wayne Allyn Root (who ran with 2008 presidential nominee former Congressman Bob Barr) claims credit for “masterminding the suicide of the LP” as a result of his role in arranging the speech by former President Trump to
delegates attending the 2024 Libertarian presidential nominating convention... A partial transcript of his remarks follows; a link to the full video can be found below. ROOT: Trump did something historic last Saturday. It’s long forgotten; . . . He was willing to address a hostile audience, get boos,...

Top economist predicts ‘crash of a lifetime’ worse than 2008 recession

NY Post ^
| 06/10/2024 | Fox Business
Harry Dent, the outspoken financial author and economist, isn’t reversing course from his bold “crash of a lifetime” declaration this past December. Speaking in an updated interview with Fox News Digital, Dent cautioned that the “everything” bubble still has not burst, and it may be a bigger crash than the Great Recession.
“In 1925 to ‘29, it was a natural bubble. There was no stimulus behind that, artificial stimulus per se. So this is new. This has never happened,” Dent said Tuesday. “What do you do if you want to cure a hangover? You drink more. And that’s what they’ve...

According to the radical left, a payment to silence someone from making potentially damaging statements to influence the outcome of a presidential election is a serious crime. A
felony at that. That’s the entirely hocus-pocus legal theory behind Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against Donald Trump that resulted in a conviction. In that case, Barack Obama ought to be charged with a similar crime.

Chicago PMI Screams RECESSION! Falls To Cycle Low Of 35.4, Back To 2008 Recession Levels (Copper Prices Rising!)

Not so Sweet Home Chicago! After unexpectedly slumping last month to 37.9, the Chicago PMI index cratered even more unexpectedly in May, when it defied hopes of a rebound to 41.5, and instead tumbled even more, sliding to a cycle low of 35.4 which was not only below the lowest estimate, but
was staggeringly low. To get a sense of just how low, the last two times it printed here was during the peak of the covid and global financial crises… … which seems to suggest that at least according to Chicago-based purchasing managers, the economy is in a depression....

The specter of the 2008 housing crisis is haunting 2024, echoing familiar themes of manipulated interest rates and speculative asset mania. The
belief that “prices only go up” has fueled a dangerous déjà vu, reminiscent of the days preceding the previous crash. As rates rise, home sales volumes collapse, and builders resort to offering incentives to mask an impending price collapse.

In an interview with Germany's ARD television in 2008, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Moscow recognizes all of Ukraine's borders, and that there is no issue of ethnic conflict in Crimea. His comments, delivered shortly after Russia's military intervention in the Georgian breakaway region of South Ossetia, stand in stark contrast
with Moscow's annexation of Crimea in 2014 and its support of armed separatists in eastern Ukraine. VIDEO https://www.rferl.org/a/putin-crimea-ukr

Market euphoria clashes with rising defaults—echoes of 2008, a storm brewing?
|
| |
Citizen Watch Report ^
In a week marked by the S&P500 witnessing its largest-ever inflow at a staggering $21 billion, there’s an unsettling undercurrent in the financial landscape that demands attention. Bankruptcy
filings are surging ominously, casting a shadow on the euphoria of market inflows. Additionally, the U.S. Corporate Default Rate, a key indicator of anticipated defaults among corporations with speculative-grade credit ratings, has witnessed a notable spike. The paradox between record-breaking market inflows and rising defaults raises questions about the Federal Reserve’s seemingly dovish stance. Is the Fed preemptively responding to an imminent storm on the financial horizon?

The House Oversight investigation into President Joe Biden and his family's influence-peddling schemes digs all the way back to ties to the late-’90s big tobacco settlement, including James Biden's deal-working caught on FBI tapes in an unrelated 2008 bribery scheme. James
Biden's deal-making getting picked up on FBI tapes in 2008, as The Washington Post reported Sunday, are resurfacing amid the House Oversight investigation and the official impeachment inquiry.

Market Overbought: Echoes of 2008-09 Recession Loom as Traders Disregard Warning Signs

Citizen Watch Report ^
The stock market is currently experiencing its most overbought conditions since the early days of the pandemic, with traders displaying a fervent appetite for bullish options contracts. This
surge in bullish sentiment is reminiscent of the situation leading up to the 2008-09 recession, raising concerns among seasoned analysts. A striking comparison can be drawn between the current market state and the situation in December 2021, particularly in the context of "Min vol." Despite a similar move, this time it took half the duration as volatility rapidly collapsed. The prevailing sentiment suggests that, post-options expiration (OpEx), markets are poised to surge...

grim reality intensifies as builders face a crisis, with mortgage demand hitting its lowest since 1994, and housing defaults soaring to levels not seen since 2013. The average selling price is down almost $90,000 from last year, raising a critical question: How can this precarious situation end well?

Commercial real estate (CRE) is fading away as a component of the S&P 500. The
S&P 500 real estate sector is now just 5% of the entire S&P 500. Even at the 2008 low, in the worst real estate crisis of all time, this percentage barely dropped below 6%. Meanwhile, demand for commercial real estate (CRE) loans is now at 2008 levels. Office building prices are down ~30% over the last year and apartments are down ~15%. Also, Delinquent commercial real estate loans at US banks have hit their highest level in a decade. The strength of the housing market...

Not all civilians are equal: 3,803 Palestinians, 177 Israelis since 2008

| Oct 8, 2023 | Matt De Vlieger
In the ongoing brutality of the Israel-Palestine conflict and the Israeli Occupation of Palestine, the loss of civilian lives is an undeniable tragedy. Yet,
when we dissect the numbers and delve into the narratives surrounding these casualties, a troubling pattern emerges. The concern for civilian lives appears to waver, leaning disproportionately towards one side. It's a disconcerting revelation that prompts us to question the consistency of our empathy when it comes to human suffering. According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), from 2008 to September 19, 2023, the conflict has claimed the lives of...

(snip) The segment explains how young Palestinians have banded together to call American voters at random asking them to vote for Obama. “It all started at the time of the US primaries,” says one of pro-Obama Palestinian organizers. “After
studying Obama’s electro campaign manifesto I thought this is a man that’s capable of change inside of America. As for potential change in the Middle East, he can also do that if he can bring peace to the area. At least this is what we hope.” Townhall was tipped off to the video by American Spectator’s Phillip Klein, who wrote Tuesday...

In Mississauga, Ontario, a public high school library removed every book that had been published in 2008 or earlier, under the justification of “inclusivity,” “anti-racism,” “equity” and “diversity.”Gee, I always thought that the word “inclusivity” was about including things, not excluding things.And I always thought the word “diversity” meant there should be
more choices, not fewer.And I’m not sure how getting rid of The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank contributes to the fight against racism.You can read about it in this article:https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/t

In an effort to promote “inclusivity,” a Canadian school district has removed all books published before the year 2008 from all of its libraries. According
to the Daily Caller, the actions taken by the Peel School District in Mississauga, Ontario were in response to a provincial directive from the minister of education ordering a greater focus on “equity.” “The Board shall evaluate books, media and all other resources currently in use for teaching and learning English, History and Social Sciences for the purpose of utilizing resources that are inclusive and culturally responsive, relevant and reflective of students, and the Board’s...
