This Can't Be True |
2021-11-02 |
[American Thinker] Unbelievable. That's really the only way to describe the never-ending onslaught of bad news and incredible occurrences that are exploding in our daily lives. Just when you think it couldn't get any worse, that they can't be serious, that it seems as if the "Biden" administration's sole goal is to make each person's life as wretchedly painful as possible, BAM! — another incredible misery warhead detonates on our reality. So far, in only nine months, the Biden war machine has inflicted almost incomprehensible damage on the American people: Rising Inflation With their excessive government spending and totally over-the-top COVID unemployment assistance (to the point that far too many people are completely disincentivized from going back to work), inflation has roared back with a vengeance not seen in decades. The economy is reeling, household budgets are upside-down, and everyone's purchasing power is melting away before our eyes. The government stutters and yammers about it being "transitory," but everyone can see that's simply not true. High Energy Prices After pipeline cancelations and the widespread rescinding of oil exploration leases, the administration has accomplished its mission: it's sent the world's oil market the unmistakable, intentional message that America is no longer interested in being a top-tier oil producer. Predictably, the price of crude oil has risen from the $40s/bbl to the mid-$80s/bbl. Gasoline and heating oil are more expensive now than we ever thought they'd be again. Vaccine Mandates These are not "vaccines." A real vaccine prevents disease and prevents the transmission of that disease. These do neither. (To their credit, if you "read between the lines" and paid close attention in the beginning, the drug-makers never said they were traditional vaccines — only that they would mitigate the symptoms to some degree and reduce the severity of the infection.) These are really nothing more than therapeutics, with bad side effects. Safer, more effective, and cheaper therapeutics already exist, like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. But the government's politically motivated refusal to encourage or even allow any mention or use of these proven therapeutics is further evidence that the entire COVID debacle has been hijacked by Progressives to rig elections and wrest control of the country. They need to perpetuate the public's fear of the COVID crisis in order to maintain their control of the voting process and they are doing everything they can toward that end. Betraying the Average American Progressives have proposed new taxes on unrealized capital gains and Roth IRAs. This is a betrayal of the American people, pure and simple. Millions of people have invested and planned their family's finances in good faith based on the rules that were in effect at the time of the original investment. Now Progressives want to change the rules after the game has started? This is beyond belief. American Hostages Ignored This administration abandoned hundreds of Americans in Afghanistan by evacuating our military before all the civilians were out. How is that even remotely possible? What genius approved that plan? Just because the liberal media (network news, the N.Y. Times, the Washington Post, CNN/MSNBC, et al.) don't continually trumpet, "The president has abandoned American hostages to the Taliban!" the way they would if it were President Trump, that doesn't mean it's not true. It's just further proof of how corrupt the liberal media are and how totally gullible and ignorant the average Progressive voter is. |

#21 Filled with Chinese Soldiers and Military Equipment ready for the "Thanksgiving Day Invasion" A Chinese invasion would be even less effective than our recent attempt in Afghanistan. Perhaps if they sent their entire million man army... An invasion after releasing a plague wouldn’t be any more effective, given the demonstrated uselessness of their vaccine development program, even with the head start of knowing what they were dealing with. The cargo is color coded, Mr. Wife had never heard of such a thing, despite a decade working as a purchasing department head |

#19 Of course it can be true. Wondering what the after action reports on those CCP Mil ops across the Canadia border look like. |

#16 I don't understand how there has been a MAJOR adverse reaction to the Transportation Secretary's latest actions and inactions. IF we were willing to pretend that every other aspect of this faux administration were top-notch, his actions and inactions have been that of a buffoon and fireable offenses. Where are the Republicans beating the drum for his removal??? |

#14 Did anyone see what The Very Serious People, The Buttgigs did after hitting the talk show circuit to address the transportation concerns? They dressed their twins up as traffic cones and played Halloween cuties. Traffic cones, dude. |

#13 So look, when you have a Donut as President & a Donut Hole for Vice President, don't expect a lot in the way of National Defense. But you already knew that right ? |

#12 No 'airlift required', The cargo is color coded, brown = military equipment red = personnel & medical facilities blue = food & water green = air support (missiles, drones, lightening helicopters) white = new clothes for New American Coopted followers |

#11 Thanks for the update. Has Biden or anyone in congress suggested airlifting rations to the ships ? |

#10 Anyone heard anything about those Chinese ships anchored off the California coast? New Rumor Filled with Chinese Soldiers and Military Equipment ready for the "Thanksgiving Day Invasion". The ship that caught fire 🔥 off the Canadian Coast almost gave the "element of surprise" away. (Soldiers were warming up their Won Ton Soup ration / fire 🔥 got out of control) ☲ Now, Don't think the USG wants to "move the cargo" anytime soon, after all Biden is Xi's boy, and he'll do as he is told by the CCP. |

#9 /\ Yes, and it goes back to fuel and delivery costs. The higher the fuel costs, the higher the food costs. A farmer friend of mine reports nitrogen prices which have already doubled. fertilizer up 25% and rising. Anyone heard anything about those Chinese ships anchored off the California coast? Seem like there's not much being said about it. (Not that I have a need for anything sitting on any of those ships, at least that I KNOW of.) |

#8 There is some speculation about crude oil going to $180. per barrel. If anything close to that happens, the economy will suffer like we've never seen in any of our lifetimes. Besoeker, that's probably within 10% of what the price of crude oil was in 2008 if you take into account 30% worth of inflation. And between then and now about half the oilfield has been driven out of business with whips and scourges. |

#7 A good bellwether of when a revolution starts in any country is the food prices jumping by 20% or more. Most people can't afford that and it usually is combined with food shortages. Well right now we have a 17% food cost jump and food shortages. How much longer before some red states say "Enough" and jump? |

#6 The Reasons for this STILL Rings Just As True Today. "WHEN in the Course of human Events...." In re-reading it, I was even surprised of how many historical similarities there are between the Biden/DC Swamp driven Coup and King George of England in 1776. |
