Bidenomics is also a Highway To Hell for commercial real estate. Let’s say real estate is thunderstruck under Bidenomics. There are more dormant office towers in the United States than at any point since 1979, according to a new report from Moody’s Analytics, which began tracking office leasing vacancies that year. The rising supply of office space is due to a combination of surging remote and hybrid work that forces companies to reduce corporate footprints. Also, companies are exiting imploding progressive cities and high-taxed blue states for red ones while downsizing space. In the report, office tower vacancies rose to...

Slowdown! Bidenomics, based on historic binge spending and Fed sugar, is wearing out as the enormous sugar (stimulus) rush is over. The hiring slowdown of 2023 spilled into January, and pressure on wages continues to ease. The pay premium for job-switchers shrank to a new low last month. This report comes after Fed Chair Jerome Powell said “No Sugar Tonight” as in no expected rate cuts. That is, until it becomes obvious that Biden will lose the election, THEN The Fed will start cutting rates like crazy. An example of the trash that Biden and Democrats are importing from Latin...

I once had to choose between love and truth. I would have chosen love over anything else, but truth was the one thing over which love, unfortunately, did not win. I was in a lose/lose situation; if I stuck to my truth, I stood to lose the love, and if I stuck to the love, I stood to lose myself and by default, eventually, the love as well... ...Truth is what is, what was, and what will be. Truth is a knowing. Truth is a calling. Truth is it. There is only one truth and its unmovable, immutable, inalterable, inflexible...

Did you see the recent government propaganda from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics? Not the latest faulty claim that consumer prices increased at an annual rate of just 3.4 percent in December. But rather the claim that 216,000 jobs were added in December. Upon release, and right on cue, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen declared that the U.S. economy had achieved a soft landing. She also said that her “hope is that it will continue.” What Yellen neglected to mention was that October employment was revised down by 45,000 jobs and November was revised down by 26,000 jobs. That’s 71,000...

It‘s Biden’s Fiscal Inferno! Insane open borders, insane green spending, wars in Ukraine, Gaza and growing restlessness around Taiwan. Inflation. And a demented 81-year old President in charge. The U.S. government ran a budget deficit of $381 billion so far into the 2024 fiscal year, which represents a 13% increase from this same time period last year. The deficit is $44 billion higher than it was at the end of November 2022, according to the latest data released by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The national debt in January of 2020 was $17.2 trillion, according to historical data from...

At yesterday's Army Navy game a thunderous chant of the four letter word version of "Let's Brandon" was recorded and some participants could be easily identified.

Disorder has broken out in Dublin city centre, amid anger about the attack. One of the children and a woman are being treated for serious injuries, police said. A suspect has been detained. Police have said a "complete hooligan lunatic faction driven by far-right ideology" is behind violent protests in Dublin after three young children were injured in a stabbing outside a primary school. Protesters have let off flares and fireworks at police as one of the children, a five-year-old girl, and a woman in her 30s are being treated in hospital for serious injuries. Officers with riot shields...

The bottom 80% of Americans are going down under Bidenomics. A brand new study from the Federal Reserve has discovered that the bottom 80 percent have “lower bank deposits and other liquid assets compared to their status in March 2020”… As of June, the bottom 80% of households by income, when adjusted for inflation, had lower bank deposits and other liquid assets compared to their status in March 2020. The decline marks a significant shift from the initial phases of the pandemic, where various factors, including government financial support and restricted spending opportunities during lockdowns, led to an accumulation of...

What a haunting song. This is from John Lennon' demo he made in 1977. Yoko gave the demo to Paul McCartney while they were making the Anthology in 1994. They couldn't have pulled it off without Peter Jackson and former Beatles producer George Martin's son, Giles. Nevertheless enjoy the song.

Teddy Roosevelt, America's 26th president, was born on this day in 1858. (please note publication time of this post in Australia) "Red White And Blue" for me is an art form where I use those colours (from both the Australian and American flags) to create art which I hope expresses moral and other truth. What do Freepers think of this?

Back in red? As US fiscal policy deteriorates further thanks to endless Federal spending (not to mention seemingly endless wars under Biden and Nobel Peace Prize winner Obama), we are seeing pain in the bank lending business. Commercial and industrial (C&I) loan lending standards is tightening (blue line) to levels typically seen in recessions. Even though Barclays HY-10Y spreads remains low. Bank credit growth remains negative for the twelve straight week. Under Biden/Yellen’s economic model, the appropriate themesong is “Hell’s Bells.”

Last year on this date, I paraphrased the words of Marcus Junius Brutus (and Gaius Epidius Marullus and Aussie bush poet Banjo Paterson) against tyranny to condemn the then Premier of Victoria, Australia, Daniel Michael Andrews (his full criminal name): “You are a block, a stone, a worse than senseless thing. You contaminate our future with mass debt And sell the vison splendid of our southern land For all the trash of Spring St cowards’ tyranny. I would rather be a dog who bays the moon than deny the simple agonising fact that your wide deep crimes against democracy are...

Without freedom of speech no problem can be addressed let alone solved. Freedom of speech underpins all other freedoms and comes to us from God. Logos. The Word. Rationality. Discourse. ONLY LOGOS LIVES.

Two years ago today I used poet Stuart Piggott's image, "..... new from old treasure / is this year's miraculous / rebirth in the harvest." as a prompt to make this appeal to conservative Church going Australian Prime Minister of the time, Scott Morrison: "Now, as the society I live in is destroying its own humanity with lockdowns of itself, I look to a deeply Christian Prime Minister to stand up strong against ignorant tyranny for freedom's sake." ScoMo was no Trump, DeSantis or Greg Abbott but he tried to hold back the anti-freedom excesses of state governments which gave...

Hank Williams was born in Butler County, Alabama, on September 17, in 1923. 100 years ago today. He changed the way people could hear the real American voice. An astonishing contribution to world culture. Here are just a few of his best words: “I was a pretty good imitator of Roy Acuff, but then I found out they already had a Roy Acuff, so I started singin’ like myself.” “To sing like a hillbilly, you had to have lived like a hillbilly. You had to have smelt a lot of mule manure.” “Folk songs express the dreams and prayers and...

The worst things about life in modern Australia are terrible. Government tyranny and bureaucratic stupidity are the norms. Criminal-at-large Daniel Michael Andrews is still in power as premier of Victoria. But an underlying reality is a human cultural foundation which, while under threat, has not been entirely destroyed - not yet. This foundation includes beautiful, religious, courageous, honest people like Monica. Praise the Lord.

Patsy Cline was born on the 8th of September, 1932, in Winchester, Virginia. As her words attest, she is a country music great: “You want me to act like we’ve never kissed, you want to forget; pretend we’ve never met , and I’ve tried and I’ve tried, but I haven’t yet… You walk by, and I fall to pieces.” “I’m gonna walk a little bit of dog.” “Oh, I offended you with my opinion? You should hear the the ones I keep to myself.” “Carnegie Hall was real fabulous, but you know, it ain’t as big as the Grand Ole...

Arma Virumque Me Cano. Rewriting Vergil, I sing of weapons, and of myself as a man. In this land where, as freedom fighter Steve of Wonthaggi tells it, " ......... men have been decommissioned of traditional roles. ....... (Some people) want us to be demonised as non accepting, small minded , woman-bashing shits." That isn't what we are. It is misandry. Lest We Forget.

Will Rogers died on August 15, 1935, in a light plane crash in Point Barrow, Alaska. He was he friend of all Presidents from Roosevelt Senior to Roosevelt Junior. In 1926, English biographer John Carter wrote in the New York Times,: “Perhaps Will Rogers has done more to educate the American public in world affairs than all the professors who have been elucidating the continental chaos since the Treaty of Versailles.” FDR said about those views: “Will Rogers’ analysis of affairs abroad was not only more interesting but proved to be more accurate than any other I had heard.” Damon...

Norma Shearer (121st birthday today on august 11, tomorrow, American time) said "A woman today is good, or she is bad, according to the way she does a thing - and not because of the thing itself." And “The morals of yesterday are no more. They are as dead as the day they were lived. Economic independence has put woman on exactly the same footing as man.” This is easy to disapprove of. And to be drawn to. Freedom works. Morality? Whose?
