This week we’ve been treated to three government reports that all point in the same direction: Disaster.
Interest payments are through the roof. Real wages continue to fall. And a record number of illegals crossed the border.
That’s just the domestic news. As of this writing, Americans are being held hostage by Iran-supported Hamas terrorists who killed nearly two dozen other Americans when they invaded Israel. Our military forces face increasing Iranian-sponsored attacks in Iraq and Syria. While President Joe Biden lets Iran off the sanctions hook for another four months.
The worry isn’t just whether Biden – the architect of these disasters – will be voted out of office next year. It’s whether the U.S. can survive until then.
Start with the terrible news on the home front. On Monday, the Treasury Department released its monthly financial report, and it was alarming. In October alone, the government made $76 billion in net interest payments – a 77% increase from a year ago and a 153% jump from two years ago.
The Treasury report projects that gross interest payments will top $1 trillion this fiscal year. That will be more than we plan to spend on defense, or Medicare, or Medicaid, or any non-defense domestic discretionary program. And that’s if all goes well, which it rarely does.
Then, on Tuesday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released its monthly inflation report for October. While the White House bragged that inflation had declined – from 3.7% in September to 3.2% – what matters to everyday Americans is whether their wages are keeping up with price increases.
They aren’t. For four months in a row – and 27 out of the past 31 months – worker wages failed to keep pace with Bidenflation. As a result, real wages today are more than 3% below when Biden took office. That, combined with rising interest rates, is costing the average family $7,400 a year, according to economist E.J. Antoni.
Also this week, the Customs and Border Protection agency reported that more than 300,000 migrants entered the U.S. illegally in October, the most ever for that month. There were also 13 arrests of people on the terror watchlist last month. Remember, none of these numbers includes “got-aways” – those who purposely avoided “encounters” with border patrol agents.
And much more election fraud on the horizon.
No mean Tweets (Xs) though. So we got that going for us... which is nice. /s
Well, after all, he got elected while being basement grandpa of crime family. What did you expect?

If John Gotti were still alive, he’d be jealous as hell: I shoulda gone into politics!..................
I describe poopy pants regime in one word, treason.
This way, Slow Joe (so perennially stupid as to be untouchable) can get things done and suffer NO repercussions
Um...correction:

“I describe poopy pants regime in one word, treason.”
Treason indeed. Certainly Anti-American. EVERYTHING this admin has done or tried to do is detrimental to the country (and NOT by accident).
That is the real danger. The dems blatantly cheated in 2020, essentially performing an election coup d'etat, and installed their man. Why would they not do the same next year?
Can we expect the weak, flaccid republican party establishment to ensure fair elections? Probably not. Can we expect they too will engage in cheating to counteract the dems? Definitely not.

I would have chosen “Depraved Indifference” for my two words.
It’s Depraved Indifference:
depraved indifference is a criminal charge that requires the defendant’s conduct to be “so wanton, so deficient in a moral sense of concern, so lacking in regard for the life or lives of others, and so blameworthy as to warrant the same criminal liability as that which the law imposes upon a person who intentionally causes a crime”. It is a legal term used to describe a state of mind that is indifferent to the consequences of one’s actions, and it is often used in cases of murder or manslaughter
This is all being done intentionally.
And it’s not going to end well at all.

Obama is running this country BANK ON IT and we ALL know he is an American HATING Muslim, DEPRAVED INDIFFERENCE is the perfect description!! This nation is EXACTLY where it was under Obama AND the BASTARD made sure he weaponized EVERY STINKING department of government before he left!!

JUST IN: Democrat tries to cut off Rep. Clay Higgins after he triggers FBI Director Wray about questions regarding FBI informants’ involvement on January 6.
Higgins accused the FBI of filling “ghost busses” with FBI informants who dressed up like Trump supporters.
After Higgins asked Wray about “ghost busses,” one Democrat interjected.
After a minute of back and forth, Higgins was allowed to continue.
“These buses are nefarious in nature and were filled with FBI informants dressed as Trump supporters and deployed onto our capitol on January 6th. Your day is coming.”
