“Bidenomics is indeed working!” claims Karine Jean-Pierre. “Cost is going down … wages going up, that is Bidenomics.” Excuse me Karine. REAL weekly earnings growth remains negative as inflation outpaces weekly earnings growth. As of Q2 2023, REAL median weekly earnings growth is a dismal -3.57% YoY. And if you are black, Bidenomics has failed you even worse! Q2 Real weekly earnings growth for black households was -6.23% YoY. I wonder if the harpies on The View will discuss this?

A stunning clip published online shows a cell phone video of a D.C. officer on J6 saying, “We go undercover as Antifa in the crowd.” In another clip, a tactical officer asks a USCP about “identifiers” for undercover cops. A USCP Officer says UCs have wristbands and candy stripes on the barrel of their guns. It looks more and more like a complete setup. People who fell for it are rotting in prison. That means the J6 panel and everyone who saw the tapes lied. Release the tapes so we can finally know the truth! VIDEO AT LINK............. DONALD TRUMP...

For now, the junta in Niger seems to be winning its standoff with its West African neighbors and the West. A Sunday deadline put forward by regional bloc ECOWAS for the generals to step aside and restore democratically elected President Mohamed Bazoum to power elapsed, with little sign of countries like Nigeria or Senegal readying a military intervention. Instead, in a dramatic show of defiance, the coup leaders staged a massive rally at a stadium in the capital Niamey, where a top general warned against anyone threatening “Niger’s forward march,” while hundreds in the stands waved Nigerien and even some...

The madness of the war in Ukraine reminds me of the poem "Charge of the Light Brigade" by Lord Tennyson. Here it is with certain liberties taken: Charge of the Zelensky Brigade I Half a league, half a league, Half a league onward, All in the valley of Death Rode in the six hundred. “Forward, the Zelensky Brigade! Charge for the guns!” he said. Into the valley of Death Rode in the six hundred II “Forward, the Zelensky Brigade!” Was there a man dismayed? Not though the soldier knew Zelensky had blundered. Theirs not to make reply, Theirs not to...

CNN — Weeks into Ukraine’s highly anticipated counteroffensive, Western officials describe increasingly “sobering” assessments about Ukrainian forces’ ability to retake significant territory, four senior US and western officials briefed on the latest intelligence told CNN. “They’re still going to see, for the next couple of weeks, if there is a chance of making some progress. But for them to really make progress that would change the balance of this conflict, I think, it’s extremely, highly unlikely,” a senior western diplomat told CNN.

More effective and sustainable firearms are on the horizon — but future technology is now banned before it can even come to fruition. For 63 years, the United States Congress has drafted and passed the National Defense Authorization Act. The purpose of this act: to pass the country’s defense budget for the following fiscal year. While Americans are focused on inflation and other trending topics, this bill passes every year under the radar. It’s Congress’s way of slowly chipping away at the constitutional rights of millions of Americans without any pushback — mainly because people don’t know about it. However,...
