60 Days...Not 61

Trump gave Iran 60 days to dismantle their nuclear program...OR ELSE. That was on April 12. A few days ago, Iran emphatically gave Trump the middle digit by declaring that, under no circumstances, will they stop their efforts to produce a nuclear weapon.

Yesterday (June 12), Israel bombed the bejusus out of Iranian leadership and nuclear sites.

Promise Made, Promise Kept.

Let Cali Burn

Can a cogent argument not be made for just letting Cali burn?

Earlier this week, as riot central, Los Angeles, erupted with anti-deportation protests, the Governor of California and the Mayor of LA told us "there were no riots, just peaceful protests". Then they switched to "riots but they were good riots." Then, after hours of online videos and newsfeeds could not be denied, they told us, "the riots are Donald Trump's fault."

Despite grandstanding by that pompous ass, Gavin Newscum, and LA's idiot mayor, Karen Bass, the riots in LA are not peaceful protests over ICE round-ups. They are George Floyd redux. Cars burning, stores looted, businesses destroyed. Worse yet, they've now spread. To 20+ other states. Anybody need a new Iphone or pair of Adidas? You know where to go.

Newscum and Bass blame it on Trump, of course. Why is he to blame? First, he implemented his #1 campaign promise and authorized ICE to deport millions of illegals (more in Cali than anywhere else) because illegal immigration is a violation of federal law and ICE is a federal enforcement agency. Then he exacerbated the situation by sending in national guard troops and Marines to restore order because LA police were overwhelmed and, in all likelihood, told to stand down.

No need to reiterate the mess California is in. On too many fronts it is an unmitigated disaster. Why? Because of people like Governor Gavin, Mayor Bass, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi and the like. All elected by Californians.

Why waste the money of non-Californian taxpayers bailing these clowns out? I say - let Cali burn. Then, maybe, the electorate who hasn't left for FL and TX will throw these bums out.

Diddy May Go Doo Doo

Pretty close to it observers say evidence is awfully damning. Apparently the jurors look freaked out by the Freak Offs.

Still Keep Hittin' Those Sour Notes

As reported Jen Psaki, Biden's former press secretary, is a travesty as a talk show host. Her "Briefing with Jen Psaki" has hemorrhaged viewers from the advertiser-coveted demographic of adults aged 25-54. The show is down 52% from what Rachel Maddow and Alex Wagner averaged on Tuesday through Fridays at 9 p.m.

The network also canceled Joy Reid’s program "The ReidOut" and replaced it with "The Weeknight," an ensemble program featuring former Vice President Kamala Harris spokesperson Symone Sanders-Townsend, Alicia Menendez, the daughter of disgraced former Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., and Michael Steele, the former Republican National Committee chair who now staunchly opposes the GOP. Also underwater.

Guess Americans don't fancy someone who covers up a defective US President not to mention the relative of a crooked US Senator. Must not care for a Tell All either as Jake Tapper's ratings hit the lowest point in a decade after his book came out.

For the Benefit of Constituents

Washington D.C. Mayor, Muriel Bowser, has raised some eyebrows.

A complaint by the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT) requests the Board of Ethics and Government Accountability investigate Bowser for allegedly accepting illegal travel and hospitality gifts on high-profile trips to Doha, Qatar, for the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference, the Masters Golf Tournament in Augusta, Georgia, and trips to Dubai, Las Vegas and Miami.

But fear not. It didn't all come out of taxpayer pockets. Qatar kicked in $60K plus. So far the esteemed Mayor has been unwilling to provide details as requested.

Early Days perhaps...

but inflation in April hit the lowest rate in four years.

Tell Us What You Really Feel

Elon called the BBB "a disgusting, abomination". He was clearly offended by the failure of Congress to do business with the pork barrel spending left in both versions. Bet Donald had to swallow hard not to fire back immediately.

Although Musk is totally right, how do you cut and still stay in office? That's the 64-dollar question.

Update: Really escalated. Too bad because this is the kind of fuel the Libs are hoping for. Don't see how much of what's been said can be taken back.

Update, update: Musk admits he went too far. Cooler heads seem to be prevailing. Guess Elon doesn't really want to go back to being a media darling for the Libs.

Howdy Doody

There is mounting evidence that Joe Biden was president in name only during much of his time in office. In his stead, a cabal of top White House staffers appears to have secretly operated a de facto presidency, making crucial decisions without a shred of constitutional authority.  

If proven true, it would call into question the validity of pardons and executive orders issued under his name but without his knowledge or consent. For this reason, it is imperative that marionette's closest advisers answer questions under oath and others in his orbit be forced to disclose what they knew or observed.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has launched an investigation into the pardons, commutations and clemencies granted in the waning days of Biden’s presidency, including preemptive pardons gifted to a half dozen members of his own family along with his shifty son, Hunter Biden. The probe focuses on whether the elder Biden was competent and whether others were taking advantage of his seemingly diminished mental state.

Did rogue actors commandeer the device from a clueless Biden to advance their own political and personal agendas? Was national security jeopardized in the process? Let’s call it, "The Case of the Runaway Autopen." Solving it won’t be easy, given Washington’s proclivity for concealment, deception, obstruction and lies.  As noted herein and numerous other legit sources, this has been long suspected.

CDO strikes again

The Congressional Deception Office is at it again.

According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill" would cut taxes by $3.7 trillion while raising deficits by $2.4 trillion over a decade.

As you know, the CBO makes projections based on information provided by Congress when considering legislation that includes spending and taxes. But is it always right?

Not according to Larry Kudlow. During his show on Thursday, Kudlow outlined how the Congressional Budget Office missed projections related to the 2017 Tax Cut and Jobs Act, Trump’s signature bill in his first term.

"The current cost of the 2017 tax cuts should be zero. Why should they be zero? Because they actually produced more revenues, $2.3 trillion more revenues than CBO estimated over the past seven years," Kudlow said.

During Trump 1.0 and excluding Covid, GDP averaged GDP growth of 2.8%. This rate would produce revenues of $3 trillion. The CDO used 1.8% for the current BBB, which is an anemically low number. Under Trump the first time, GDP grew over 2.8% if the Covid year is excluded

It's all in the mind of the beholder as crystal balls are on back order. Still, when the CDO consistently paints a rosy picture of Democrat spending "bills" (Inflation Reduction Act is a good example) and a doomsday scenario for Republican ones, it's good "policy" to be skeptical.

Always keep in mind, debt under Reagan in 1983 was 6% of GDP, roughly same as now. By the time growth and prosperity kicked in , it was down to 3%. Get that eco engine humming.

Navy Doesn't Just Fight.

Previously we've lamented the woeful and worsening deficiency of the US Navy compared to our arch enemy, China. It is useful to remember that the Navy doesn't just fight to secure our nation, it also serves to keep vital shipping lanes open. Witness the problem the lame Houthis caused the past year or so.

There are only a relatively few shipping corridors in the entire world. Shut down a couple and the pain would be enormous.

In another war-related scenario, the US Air force conducted several simulations relative to recent India-Pakistan conflict. We lost to China 5 to 0.

AGRO-terrorism...new one on me.

But that's what they're calling the recent incident involving two Chinese nationals caught with some nasty fungus they were trying to smuggle into the US.

Yunqing Jian and Zunyong Liu have been charged with trying to smuggle a fungus described as a "potential agroterrorism weapon" into the U.S. Despite a profound lack of agricultural knowledge on my part, I have to speculate they were up to no good.

China’s 2017 National Intelligence Law demands that "all organizations and citizens shall support, assist, and cooperate with national intelligence efforts." China has a huge diaspora population in Western countries, from students to permanent residents, that it can bribe or bully into acts of espionage. Like the Cubans and Russians, they have also bribed Americans with no ethnic ties to their country to spy for them.

There are currently around 280,000 Chinese students in the U.S., but fewer than 1,000 American students in China. Americans number around 100,000 in China, while China is the third-largest immigrant group in the U.S. at over 2.4 million.

With potential assets nationwide, China can quite easily target our critical infrastructure, including water, electricity and the internet. They could also deploy engineered pathogens against humans that might wreak worse damage than COVID-19, which we now know most likely "escaped" from a Chinese laboratory that was funded and controlled by their military and government.

Furthermore, they could attempt to destroy crops across our agricultural heartland, using a bioweapon like the fungus Jian and Liu were carrying, which causes "head blight," a disease of cereal crops.

Reds are coming from all directions.

Another Item on Trump DOJ plate

Beside looking into the Autopen (aka Howdy Doody) scandal and about another 200 or so nefarious happenings under Biden-Harris, the DOJ should look into who leaked the SCOTUS abortion decision. It sure as hell tilted voter sentiment in the 2022 midterms.

Fascist State?

Ya think? If anyone tells you Palestine is anything but a fascist state, think of Joe Biden knowing nothing of Hunter's business "dealings". Palestine has had one - count it, uno - election in 19 years. 2006 when Hamas took over. It's been stasis ever since.

As said before, I'd bet a boatload of shekels, if the Palestinians threw out Hamas, billions would flow in from the US (hell, from the Ivies alone), Europe and the Middle East. I'd even kick in $50.

It would be more accurate...

if, instead of labeling Trump and Musk "Hitlers", Democrats would just say, "We like open borders, millions of illegals overrunning our welfare rolls, hospitals and supermarkets, we like men smashing volleyballs into the faces of our young girls. Please don't forget, we also like millions of abortions and universities who teach our children that America is racist, white trash and that Hamas are victims." That's what they really believe, so why not call a spade a spade.

New Wrinkle. Unions pad rolls with Illegals.

It is well known that union membership has been in a decades long spiral down and down. Turns out unions are now signing up illegals as members and, of course, collecting the dues needed to send leaders on Caribbean holidays. Guess that is why you see them helping out in protests to stop deportations.

Have a nice weekend. Gonna be a steamy on in the Sunshine State.
