In economics, its called a wage-price spiral.  Prices rise, so wages rise to try to keep up, which makes prices rise due to the added cost of labor, necessitating higher wages to keep up, etc.

Somehow, economics never seems to deal with the fact that the excessive diversion of profits to shareholders contributes to the phenomenon. At least, a…[Read more]

This confirms that it is Russia who is weaponizing energy.

I’d think the Russians would choose better targets in Poland if they had decided to strike it with missiles.

If this was from an s-300 Anti-Aircraft battery, then it is fair to assume it was fired by Ukraine. They use the Soviet era S300. It has a limited range. Russia doesn’t have any AA batteries anywhere near the Polish border.  Lviv had been…[Read more]

Fear monger and fundraise. Usually they don’t throw cold water on the hopes of voters less than a week after Election Day. Voters usually get more of a reprieve to at least get their hopes up that the Dems might do something about a topic which was a cornerstone of their campaign.

That Blue Dog spirit will magically affect other Dem Senators if Dems hold a larger lead. Manchin will be joined by just enough others to sink anything that could alter the status quo.

Venezuela has roughly 300 billion barrels of proven reserves. Haiti’s roughly 1 billion is hardly a comparative swimming pool.

Either the numbers in that blurb are off, or they meant billions not millions.

For reference, the USA uses about 3 million barrels a day. A billion barrels would supply the US for less than one year.  I’m not saying the…[Read more]

The West is nothing but terrorists.  Nazi-celebtating, civilian slaughtering, infrastructure destroying terrorists.

Bin Laden was a piker in comparison.

It’s not like the GOP doesn’t have a long history of warmongering and elitism.

If anyone was leaving the Dems I thought it would have been Manchin or Sinema.

She has outsider appeal that both parties lack. A VP slot on a Trump ticket isn’t out of the question, but I would be quite disappointed.

Much like the preliminary smears of Snowden, Trump too has boxes in his garage and has dated a porn star.

I don’t know if its Zanax or Quaaludes, but she is artificially chilled out. The shades help hide it.

During the W administration, I didn’t think I could be more embarrassed by what I thought were dolts temporarily inhabiting the White House. Little did I know it was the new normal. She and Condi…[Read more]

The West has engineered it so Russia has oodles of foreign cash and few ways to spend it legitimately. Black market purchases make too much sense.

In addition to using that cash to buy their weapons, maybe Russia should be outbidding the mercenaries that the West keeps recruiting and get them to fight against Ukraine.

A ham sandwich would have won the last two presidential elections, and I’m only half joking.  The candidates were that bad and reviled.

She also used the position of Sec of State to collect tens of millions for her foundation from foreign governments and other entities with the understanding that those donations would equal access and favors once she was coronated.

And yes, Trump’s presidency put Nuland & Co’s Ukraine project on hold for 4 years. It’s back on the front burner…[Read more]

Most of the religious folks in the states that are actively restricting women’s rights will be the first to denounce Islam and Sharia Law yet have such an absence of self awareness that they can’t  see that they impose the same things.

Hmm. Do a solid for the GOP now in exchange for a GOP promise to cooperate later.

The question is : when HAVEN’T we heard this before?

I wasn’t aware the optics for this administration could get worse.

Please provide a link to this Brave New World baby harvesting video you saw online that you’ve taken as gospel.

Also, what happens in an Asian country doesn’t affect Constitutional law in the US.

This experiment ought to last a week or two.

He can’t maintain a coherent thought across 3 sentences.  He can’t answer a question without blurting out something the rest of the WH staff has to walk back.

They will stage some folksy meet and greet photo ops. If a regular person is somehow able to say anything to him, he will be insulting to…[Read more]
