The reality:
*Highest inflation in 30 years.
*Highest gas prices in almost a decade.
*Record supply chain crisis and shortages nationwide.
And all because of Biden’s extremism and incompetence. https://t.co/gjPfNdy0sl— Tommy Pigott (@TommyPigott) November 15, 2021

Good morning all!
Saw this posted on another forum, very fitting for our times:
IF by Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!
Good morning, LilFarmer!
Rudyard Kipling was a very wise man.
I enjoyed reading many things he wrote when I was a child.
“The Jungle Book” was a favorite.
Maybe should reread now.
Wind not too bad. Not like other areas.
Good morning. Thanks for IF.
Good morning, Gran and TFT!
That list is a list of accomplishments, to this regime, sadly.
😩

Early morning shopping. I want to get it done before more snow accumulation. So far just a dusting. BBL
Good morning, LF.
I love the Trump vid that someone made, with the narrator reading If.
Applies to Rittenhouse, as well, after reading, again.
And, Bannon.
As you said…very fitting, for our times.
Good idea, to get out, before more snow.
How much are you expecting to get, later?
Biden tormented by Republican guerrilla campaign and ‘I did it’ stickers
By JOE BATTENFELD November 15, 2021 at 6:45 p.m.

If you see Joe Biden’s picture on a gas pump these days, it’s not a tribute to his amazingly successful energy policy.
The stickers — with Biden pointing to the $3.50 a gallon gas price and saying “I did that!” — are part of a Republican guerrilla campaign to undermine the Democratic administration. They’ve gone viral online.
And it’s cheap and easy.
A 100-pack of the stickers is going for just six bucks on Amazon.
You might see the derisive stickers up in New Hampshire, the swing state Biden is set to visit on Tuesday to promote his $1.2 trillion infrastructure package that just passed Congress.
The Democratic president may not get the overwhelmingly positive reception he was hoping for, though.
New Hampshire is a blue state that’s in danger of going red in the 2022 mid-term election and, like the colorful leaves that fall before winter, it’s often a harbinger of chilly political winds to come.
Biden’s approval rating in the Granite State is the same as it is nationally — abysmal. And the passage of the infrastructure bill won’t change that, no matter how much the Democrats and CNN celebrate it.
The gas pump stickers are similar tactics to what Democrats did to Republican presidents like Trump. Remember those “Not my President” bumper stickers? So in a way Republicans now are just returning the favor.
Biden opponents have also adopted the “Let’s Go Brandon” chant to taunt the president. It’s a PG way of saying something much more crude that has the same number of syllables, but it’s a clever tactic and it drives Democrats crazy.
This is what passes for grass roots political strategy these days. The “Let’s Go Brandon” chant and “I Did it” stickers went viral on social media platforms like TikTok.
New Hampshire is a hotbed of politics, because of the first in the nation primary. Voters have become accustomed to getting up close to presidents and candidates and aren’t afraid to confront them in person.
That’s why Biden’s visit contains some risk, although he’ll be protected in his trip to Woodstock, far out of major cities like Nashua and Manchester.
Biden is also planning to spend some quality time in the little middle class enclave of Nantucket over the Thanksgiving holiday. Nothing like going to an ultra exclusive vacation island to showcase how the infrastructure bill will help the little people in the middle of an economic crisis.
Air Force One is expected to fly right into Nantucket’s tiny airport, and Secret Service will be crawling all over the island, which I’m sure the locals will appreciate.
Good, glad you didn’t get hit like other areas back there.
Crazy weather events happening.
Ahhhh how adorable is that?!
Thanks LG and Dolly, and good morning to you both!
If you look at the map at that site, and look at the southern DE coastline, you’ll see Rehoboth Beach, where Pudding Head has a beach house.
I’m just a few miles west of there.
While the nation is crumbling, due to this fool’s policies, he’ll be on an exclusive island.
Thanks for the optics, Poser in Chief.
Yikes! If you’re getting snow, that means I’m likely getting snow! So this beautiful sunshine that I’m looking at now is just a trojan horse for what it’s bringing in! Even the weather can’t be trusted!
Good morning, lysie!
A bit late to the party, but I see there is some BACON left for moi!
Thanks!
Thanks for “If”. I liked it in the Trump video I saw a while back. Sure applies to 47.
