Democrats and their fawning supporters in the MSM are trying desperately to pretend that the economy is not really in a recession, Joe Biden is actually President of the United States, and he is doing a great job. The Build Back Better plan, oops, the Inflation Reduction Act, will lower inflation by increasing government spending and raising taxes. Giving a $10,000 student loan refund, to the people who least need it but are most likely to vote Democratic, is not all that popular. But none of this stopped the usual suspects from pretending that the red wave, which they denied existed, is starting to fade.
Well, they just got a brutal dose of reality. Fed Chair Jerome Powell reiterated the Fed’s commitment to taming the inflation Joe Biden thinks does not exist. He warned investors that rate increases will bring some pain to households and businesses, but such hardship is the cost of reducing inflation.
The result was that the Dow tumbled by 1,000 points. Even people who don’t actually own stocks know this is a problem.
In the meantime, Oil prices are climbing again. Russia has replenished its gas storage, while Europe is trying desperately to secure more gas, from Russia. What could possibly go wrong? Households in the UK are expecting to pay 178% more for heat this winter compared to last year.
All this while Joe Biden is bragging about lower gas prices and pretending there was no inflation during June and July. While some in the MSM are at least pretending to buy this, the American people are not fooled at all. The only remaining hope is the FBI raid on Mar-a-logo. We now know the FBI logic behind this, and it is a real doozey. They fear that Mar-a-logo is being infiltrated by Russian spies who may gain access to highly sensitive information stored sloppily by Donald Trump. Seriously? This is your best explanation for this ill-advised adventure. Is anyone other than Don Lemon or perhaps Anderson Cooper prepared to buy this nonsense?
Might we remind them that Hillary Clinton stored classified emails on her server which was almost certainly hacked by Russia. But no one in the MSM noticed or cares because all that matters is this is against Trump, and that justifies anything and everything.
I wonder if any of them have ever considered what would happen if Trump was actually indicted. Since the Grand Jury is apparently from Washington D.C., and history shows us that a fair hearing is impossible in that jurisdiction, indictment is possible. In DC, Democrats who are clearly guilty walk while Republicans who dare walk on the sidewalk are always guilty. But the real jury would be the jury of public opinion and any indictment of Donald Trump would be met with outrage. Not necessarily because they believe Trump is as innocent as a snow-white dove, but rather because there are so many prominent Democrats who have done so much worse. An indictment of Trump would be viewed as an act of desperation and even if he was convicted, it would turn him into a martyr. The only thing that would backfire more is if he was assassinated. Even people who are sick and tired of Trump are even more sick and tired of those who let him live freely in their delusional heads.
The opposite of love is not hate; it is apathy. I know many people who think Hillary Clinton was awful, that Bill Clinton was a horrible President, and that Obama was the most over-rated politician in American History. But they just ignore them and don’t want to hear anything about them or from them. They are over them. Over and out. Just ask the people at Netflix. The more people hate Donald Trump, the more others will love him. By hating him they elevate him. I wonder if any of them realize that?
The other thing they miss is that for all his faults, it is Trump who actually listens to people and who does what he said he would do. His opponents promise the world and deliver little or nothing. That is unless they promise to do something really stupid, those are the only promises they keep.
The real problem for Democrats is that they are wrong on almost every issue, and they are oblivious to how the average American views things. The party that used to be for the little guy, now caters to the super rich white elite, a constituency despised by the rest of us. In the meantime, Joe Biden, stupidly believing he is bursting with success has instead flushed the Democratic Party along with him right down the drain. What you really saw when the Dow dropped 1,000 points was what happens when you use a plunger on a clogged toilet. All the crap is about to exit.
