“There was also a revision of 800,000 jobs from last year. They falsified the data to try to help Biden/Harris. They will likely spin the economy negative now that Trump is President.”
That sort of reportage goes back a long way. They stopped reporting the daily Iraq and Afghan American casualties when Obama took over and they stopped reporting Covid deaths when FJB took over from DJT.
I am expecting us to be in a recession as soon as Trump takes over. They changed the definition because we have been in a recession for the last 2 yrs. So they will change it back to claim that a recession that takes 3 months is owned by Trump on 1-20.
Boom and Bust, Baby. We inflated the currency outrageously. What goes up will come back down.
The early Reagan Years were tough with the economy they inherited, but right out of the chute Paul Volker _did his job_ and adjusted lending rates so that Printing money was too expensive even for BigFedGov.
It wasn't popular but it worked. Sometimes doing the right thing is like that.
If labor suddenly reports on Jan 21 that we are in a recession, will anyone hear it? Nope, people will be too busy revitalizing the economy to pay attention. Elections have consequences, even for the swamp.
You are one of the few people to give Volker the credit for breaking the back of inflation. Since then we have had fewer recessions and a more stable inflation rate. Credit goes to Volker and Uncle Milty 😉
Yep. That's just one of the non-ordinance bombs they are setting to go off for their "blame and personal destruction" attack against Trump.
We will need 24/7 TV, social media, and podcast court coverage of J6 hearings as we reveal the traitorous deep state actions of the last administration and it's connections to Obama to overshadow their likely Trump destruction distractions. Of course, if we lose the House in 2026, they will impeach him again. I am hoping we will have Liz Cheney and Cassidy Hutchinson in jail by that time and these traitors get scared enough to back off.
There were other conditions I thought, I would have remembered something as simple as you stated. We hit recession in June of 21, I think might have been 22. The only way that Biden slid out of from under it was we had sent all that equipment to Ukraine and it raised the GDP. Then they changed it and we kept getting close,
Yep. I remember being a seventeen-year-old, thinking about the upcoming draft and how many Hillbillies that I had known who were killed in Vietnam. I watched the evening news fastidiously (What else is there to do after school when you live Up The Holler?). I remember thinking, "How is it that every day there are less than ten Americans killed in Vietnam, versus 2500 VC and North Vietnamese regulars? Their population is about 40 million and we are 200. They should have run out of soldiers long ago. Something smells here. I just might get my young ass exterminated."
Fortunately I drew a 210 in the draft lottery. Now we know that you can't believe a word the gub'ment says.

"ITEM 8: Rupert Murdoch's woke [WSJ] screamed, 'The Big Companies Funding Trump’s Inauguration Despite Denouncing Jan. 6. The second Trump inaugural fund is on track to be the most lucrative yet.' ”
Is it possible that WSJ's angry that these outfits aren't advertising in the WSJ / on Fox Cable News / Fox TV Network? And Rupert Murdoch, who is now as senile as FJB and looks worse than Jimmy Carter, no longer has any meaningful thing to do with these outfits. They're now run by his heinous brats.
Fox-Pravda / NY Post stabbed Trump in the back in 2020; mocked him in 2021-22; got nervous in late 2022-2023 and devoted tons of (worthless) publicity to Trump's hapless "Republican" competitors; panicked and ran along the railroad tracks in 2023-2024 and just barely got back on the train. The pattern suggests that they're already plotting, if the money's right, to betray him again in 2025-26.
#2 My Letter to the Editor to our local, liberal paper, was rejected because they 'don't print letters spreading misinformation'. My topic was pointing out that Medicare for all is actuality Medicaid for all. I detailed the monthly $175.00 Medicare mandatory payment with no option to opt out (after paying in for 40 years) deductibles, copays, and what isn't covered - dental, vision, prescriptions etc. Apparently misinformation is in the eye of the beholder..
#1. How many men were in the left photo? I could only count three. Is free speech anti women or are women anti free speech? I've been in situations where women complained about the language I or other men used while they themselves used the exact same words only days before.
12/30/24: And this being San Fran, the 17 people in the photo on the right were also transitioning. In fact, these two photos might be Before and After photos of the exact same people. But who will ever know which was is the Before, and which one is the After?
I actually fell for Crenshaws act. Still respect that he was a vet but he lost me when he turned out to be a RINO within a couple of years. I was very disillusioned. The fact he resorts to threats because true info is being shared is mind boggling. If you dont like it that much Crenshaw, clean up your act.
Lots of liberals departing for Londonistan so best to leave it alone. With Cuba being a short 90 mile boat ride, it should be a natural choice for liberals fleeing freedom. I wouldn't want to deprive them of the possibility of free health care.
Cuba is going to prohibit tourists from bringing in any drugs as of 1/31/25. Our church is sending a special group in January to help our missionaries…
Just went to post office to mail a package. Quite a few cars in parking lot. Inside were a lot of folks arguing who was first. Everyone was claiming to be first.
One clerk said, “Anybody not here for a passport?”, so to her relief I stepped right up.
Up early and excited to be heading home later today. Amusement and entertainment value is as usually the case high. But I found the poll intriguing and thought provoking on multiple levels. My first reaction was a knee jerk and then as I looked at the other choices and chuckled I settled on Cuba. I mean just think of the possibilities. A REAL island resort. Why they could make Mark Cuban governor.
Well, if China takes Taiwan in the next 23 days, they won't be able to say a word against Trump taking Cuba (or Panama, or Greenland, or Canada, or all of the above).
I do look forwards to Nigel Farage taking Londonistan, though.

Way more people should know who Milton Friedman was.
He was the man. Brilliant guy.
I remember that. It was a rough time but it worked. 26 hrs of work to buy a pair of New Balance tennis shoes. They were less than $70 dollars.
Yep. That's just one of the non-ordinance bombs they are setting to go off for their "blame and personal destruction" attack against Trump.

He had a lot to do with it but need to look closer at a certain agency with a black budget with initials CIA.
But not if DJT and DOGE deliver on reducing the size of the swamp. There wont be people left in the “labor department” to report anything. Win-win.
Yep, if inflation exceeds the growth in GDP you’re in a recession.

Amen.
Exactly. I predicted it, too. But then it was such an easy prediction.
This process needs to be privatized along with other economic reporting.
Can CNN's market share be that high? 11%. Are there that many airports that haven't changed the channel yet?
Someone would have to be there to change the channel. Instead they are busy being mollested by the TSA.
More fact than fiction here, sad to say!
"are there that many airports that haven't changed the channel yet?"
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
As reported by the Biden administration.
I don't see CNN in airports that much anymore. Probably why their ratings are in the toilet.
They could no longer pay.
I thought that so, but wasn't sure and didn't want to be accused of spreading misinformation. LOL
WiFi has replaced cable service in airports.

I will never look at Liz again and not see Miss Piggy
Personally, I prefer never having to look at Liz ever again -don't care even if she does look like Miss Piggy!
One and the same ...
12/30/24: Nor will Miz Piggy!

Great weekly posts. Only thing I can add is to keep sending your grandson (and children) your posts. You can't start them off too young.

Start ‘em young, raise ‘em right! Hotty Toddy! :)

HYDR!

#1. How many men were in the left photo? I could only count three. Is free speech anti women or are women anti free speech? I've been in situations where women complained about the language I or other men used while they themselves used the exact same words only days before.
Actually, 17 others in the photo on the left were transitioning, so there’s that.
Transitioning to cat ladies. Remember, spay and neuter your pets so liberal women have no one to talk to.
12/30/24: And this being San Fran, the 17 people in the photo on the right were also transitioning. In fact, these two photos might be Before and After photos of the exact same people. But who will ever know which was is the Before, and which one is the After?
How do you know? Are you in the neutering business?
I learned to cuss like a sailor in the Navy, and I have for the last 4 yrs because of Biden Harris.
Cuba fo sho. I have snapshots of Dan Crenshaw - Eyepatch McCain - actually threatening to kill @Catturd2 on X. Multiple threats.
No actual 'shooter' in the Teams would act like that guy. None.
Congressman fights cat turd
Cat turd wins!!
I actually fell for Crenshaws act. Still respect that he was a vet but he lost me when he turned out to be a RINO within a couple of years. I was very disillusioned. The fact he resorts to threats because true info is being shared is mind boggling. If you dont like it that much Crenshaw, clean up your act.
Crenshaw fooled a bunch of us - I too thought he was a good guy early on
Part of that was the eyepatch, right?
Oh. I thought that was worn (in a slightly lower location) to camouflague what got shot off on a Baltimore street at 2 a.m. in 2004...

#18. Saturday Night Lies? Those used to be " of course I'll respect you in the morning."
Besides, it would be impossible to make horizontal Harris look any worse than she already is.
12/30/24: Yes, she is starting to look like the Last Place contestant in the Albuquerque, New Mexico "Queen of the Mules" rodeo pageant...
Item 15: “ Cool. Maybe Fort Worth can get a football team.
Dallas, too.”

Gambling, fishing and hookers oh boy.
Before Castro, Cuba was a very popular tourist destination. It could be again, being only 90 miles off our coast.
Exactly. EVERYTHING PLUS CONVENIENT.
It will be Hati first
Meh, not a very safe place. Besides, the other half of that island sounds much safer and more civilized.
12/30/24: There being little difference between the regimes in Cuba and London, they should be combined and then quarantined.
I suspect it was actually Don who wondered what Liz was doing on Sesame Street.
Great jokes must be well-crafted
And crafty columnists tell great jokes.
Oh no! Our Don wouldn't put words in his little grandson's mouth!
Well, if China takes Taiwan in the next 23 days, they won't be able to say a word against Trump taking Cuba (or Panama, or Greenland, or Canada, or all of the above).
I do look forwards to Nigel Farage taking Londonistan, though.
I am not sure that he can do it. London has turned into a right shitshow.
