We know for fact that he used a doctor to declare his feet unfit for the draft. All those ridiculous T shirts with his rippled muscles made me laugh at the morons who wore it.

LETTER HERE --> https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/fb7c7bd8-097d-4e2f-8f12-3442d151b57d/downloads/2021 Open Letter from Retired Generals and Adm.pdf?ver=1620740665549


126 Ex-Generals, Admirals Warn About Biden: U.S. In ‘Deep Peril,’ Health A Concern, 7 Red Flags Emerging

More than 120 retired generals and admirals from the United States Armed Forces warned in a letter this week that the U.S. was entering a state of “deep peril” under the leadership of President Joe Biden and even called into question his physical and mental health.

The letter, which came from a group called “Flag Officers 4 America,” said that the country was in a fight for survival as a constitutional republic against Marxist forces that seek to destroy American’s rights.

“The Current Administration has launched a full-blown assault on our Constitutional rights in a dictatorial manner, bypassing the Congress, with more than 50 Executive Orders quickly signed, many reversing the previous Administration’s effective policies and regulations,” the letter states.

The letter expressed concern over what it called “population control” measures, including “excessive lockdowns, school and business closures,” and big tech censorship.

The letter highlighted the following key policy concerns that the former top military officers had:

  • Open borders jeopardize national security by increasing human trafficking, drug cartels, terrorists entry, health/CV19 dangers, and humanitarian crises. Illegals are flooding our Country bringing high economic costs, crime, lowering wages, and illegal voting in some states. We must reestablish border controls and continue building the wall while supporting our dedicated border control personnel. Sovereign nations must have controlled borders.
  • China is the greatest external threat to America. Establishing cooperative relations with the Chinese Communist Party emboldens them to continue progress toward world domination, militarily, economically, politically and technologically. We must impose more sanctions and restrictions to impede their world domination goal and protect America’s interests.
  • The free flow of information is critical to the security of our Republic, as illustrated by freedom of speech and the press being in the 1st Amendment of our Constitution. Censoring speech and expression, distorting speech, spreading disinformation by government officials, private entities, and the media is a method to suppress the free flow of information, a tyrannical technique used in closed societies. We must counter this on all fronts beginning with removing Section 230 protection from big tech.
  • Re-engaging in the flawed Iran Nuclear Deal would result in Iran acquiring nuclear weapons along with the means to deliver them, thereby upsetting Mideast peace initiatives and aiding a terrorist nation whose slogans and goals include “death to America” and “death to Israel”. We must resist the new China/Iran agreement and not support the Iran Nuclear Deal. In addition, continue with the Mideast peace initiatives, the “Abraham Accords,” and support for Israel.
  • Stopping the Keystone Pipeline eliminates our recently established energy independence and causes us to be energy dependent on nations not friendly to us, while eliminating valuable US jobs. We must open the Keystone Pipeline and regain our energy independence for national security and economic reasons.
  • Using the U.S. military as political pawns with thousands of troops deployed around the U.S. Capitol Building, patrolling fences guarding against a non-existent threat, along with forcing Politically Correct policies like the divisive critical race theory into the military at the expense of the War Fighting Mission, seriously degrades readiness to fight and win our Nation’s wars, creating a major national security issue. We must support our Military and Vets; focus on war fighting, eliminate the corrosive infusion of Political Correctness into our military which damages morale and war fighting cohesion.
  • The “Rule of Law” is fundamental to our Republic and security. Anarchy as seen in certain cities cannot be tolerated. We must support our law enforcement personnel and insist that DAs, our courts, and the DOJ enforce the law equally, fairly, and consistently toward all.
The letter also called into question Biden’s physical and mental health, which comes after Biden repeatedly fell while trying to board Air Force One and has appeared to struggle to remember things while in office.

“The mental and physical condition of the Commander in Chief cannot be ignored,” the letter stated. “He must be able to quickly make accurate national security decisions involving life and limb anywhere, day or night. Recent Democrat leadership’s inquiries about nuclear code procedures sends a dangerous national security signal to nuclear armed adversaries, raising the question about who is in charge. We must always have an unquestionable chain of command.”

Did we not have indignity when Trump was in office? When a draft dodging cheat call your military "losers & suckers" that tops any story like this. After all Trump was an actor and he made statements without thought. Bottom line: We all would be better off with a younger president that is humble and cares about the people rather than his "brand" Just my opinion~.

Biden's break from neoliberalism to invest in the middle class could create 'the mother of all economic booms' — an economic commentator explains why
On this week's episode of "Pitchfork Economics," Nick Hanauer and David Goldstein talk with Anusar Farooqui, who writes probing analytic essays about economic policy on Substack under the pseudonym Policy Tensor.

Farooqui researches and thinks deeply about some of the most complex systems shaping our world today, and he's not afraid to take big swings on bold predictions. One such prediction in a recent essay, "The Making of the Mother of All Economic Booms," caught Hanauer's attention

In the piece, Hanauer says, Farooqui "argues that the Biden administration is making a really profound break with the last 45 years of neoliberalism, and that that break is going to create probably the biggest economic boom in collective memory, probably since the '60s."

If Farooqui is right, the consequences of that boom would be world-changing. Hanauer explained that it would "absolutely create the kind of broad-based growth and benefits that should both transform the economy and also potentially transform politics, which is an even more important achievement."

The pandemic's economic impact

Farooqui says that it's now common knowledge that we've seen a slowdown in growth and an increase in income inequality in the decades since the broad global adoption of trickle-down economics as the dominant economic theory.

"What I think has happened, which is the main thesis in that essay," he explained, "is that elites in the United States today, and technocrats in particular, have come to the conclusion that the only way to stop the political instability which was revealed in 2016 is to restore broad-based growth," in the form of huge public investments in infrastructure, in support programs, and in policies that will broadly improve the lives of the American people.

"Public investment has been declining, and is really low by historical standards," Farooqui said. So now, the Biden administration needs to show positive economic progress in a way that can be empirically proven. In other words, the Biden administration wants you to be able to see big improvements to the American middle class with your own eyes after the next infrastructure bills have passed — and before next year's midterm elections.

Biden's approach to the economy

The fact that President Biden, who was largely very mainstream throughout his career in the Senate, happens to be the messenger for this economic theory, Farooqui said, is "very pleasantly shocking, I must confess."

So what has happened to the economy to bring Biden around to this idea of investing deeply in everyday Americans? Farooqui believes that the last 40 years of neoliberal constraints on the economy, in the form of deregulation and tax cuts, have basically hamstrung global economic growth by taking power away from the sectors of the economy that actually produces things.

"All of the great industrial firms are responsible for the mid-century productivity growth" of the 20th century, he said. That productivity was "responsible for the growth of the American working class and the achievement of middle class standards that was the envy of the world."

But when neoliberalism took root, "the private equity firms went in and really created a market for corporate control." With their newly unfettered financial might, the equity firms forced industrial companies to "disgorge their services to finance and to essentially move away from an investment in long-term productivity growth and towards the short-term model where you borrow money from the bond market and you do some [stock] buybacks or something."

"Where bankers used to wait on the industrial firms' CEOs," Farooqui explained, "it was now the CEOs who were reporting to the financial analysts — and this relationship of power between Wall Street and industry is crucial to why dynamism vanished from the manufacturing sector."

Rather than creating products and services that appealed to customers, the sole purpose of every large company became a devotion to increasing shareholder value, creating an "hourglass economy" in which "income growth stalls for the bulk of the population" while wealthy shareholders and CEOs increase their fortunes exponentially.

"So the sheer number of jobs disappear for high school graduates, and this is devastating for working class families," Farooqui continued. "These depths of despair, beginning at the turn of the century, are a huge story, because those depths of despair are the single best predictor of the swing towards Trump in 2016 — it's really the pain of working class America."

Investing in the middle class

The primary argument against these big investments in the American middle class is that it might set off a "macroeconomic instability of some kind," which has been "baked into people's minds from the '70s," when inflation skyrocketed, Farooqui says.

But when you accept that "inflation is globalized" and not directly tied to the Federal Reserves' decision to print more money, as Modern Monetary Theory argued, "you get to a place where you can be freed from the old rigidities that prevent a decisive action on the main challenges of the day."

Does that mean that the tumultuous boom-and-bust economic cycle that we've seen over the past 40 years, in which most millennials have lived through three major economic crises, is the result of neoliberalism's economic stagnation?

Or as Goldstein asked Farooqui, "are you implying we could have had an economic boom all along over the past 45 years? None of the dislocation, none of the inequality, none of the slow growth was necessary or unavoidable, had we not had this swing towards neoliberalism?"

"Absolutely," Farooqui said. "I'm absolutely certain of that. For example, the Fed could have always run the economy really hot. That could have meant that low-skilled workers' wages, middle-skilled workers' wages, people with high school degrees — their wages would have grown at the same rate as college graduates' salaries, and professional class salaries, which have exploded."

Many pundits have predicted that we're on the verge of a once-in-a-lifetime economic boom. But Farooqui's claims take that idea one step further: He argues that we could potentially see a once-in-a-century realignment that wipes out the old thinking and sets the table for a new understanding of how the global economy works.

While many futurists love to make wild predictions of what the world will be like in a decade or two, the change the Farooqui is foretelling is right around the corner. We won't have to wait very long to discover if he's right or not.

I'll cross my fingers but I'm not holding my breath. At least there is someone out there that thinks the wealth gap is going to shrink, I guess.

Which one was pushing the wild conspiracy theory? Both gave pretty mild answers compared to the shit you see on Twitter. Neither actually outlined any specific theories.

Poor Aaron Rupar is mad random hicks are allowed to say things. Bottom feeders like him are aghast at the prospect of opinions existing outside of their tightly controlled online arena, the only place they hold any power. Offline he's just another chump.

The far Right doesn't seem to know what country this is. They think we live in some totalitarian regime instead of the Constitutional land of the free and home of the brave. They know that we don't go for trying to install the loser instead of the winner and are willing to murder and commit insurrection in the halls of our Capitol to do it.
With Biden we finally have an adult in the White House.

The red meat issue Biden won't touch
The administration wants to dramatically shrink farmers’ climate footprint. But Biden’s top officials aren’t talking about serious changes to America’s meat industry.

President Joe Biden is not going to ban red meat. In fact, his administration isn’t doing much to confront the flow of harmful greenhouse gases from the very big business of animal agriculture.

The Agriculture Department’s newly published “climate-smart agriculture and forestry” outline says almost nothing about how Biden aims to curb methane emissions from livestock operations. But environmentalists argue that any effort to shrink the farm industry’s climate footprint is half-baked if it relies on voluntary efforts and doesn’t address America’s system of meat production.......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Well, nonetheless, we stocked up anyway. Heh. ;)

Biden tried to rescind those tax cuts early in his administration but someone, I think it was Sen. Manchin, nixed it. His rescission was supposed to pay for his infrastructure plan.

Guatemala’s prez blames Biden for border crisis as protesters tell Kamala Harris ‘Trump won’

Vice President Kamala Harris was greeted Monday by protesters in Guatemala telling her “Trump won” and “go home” — as the country’s president blamed President Biden for this year’s migrant crisis.

The rally was visible to Harris’ motorcade as she arrived to meet with Guatemala President Alejandro Giammattei one day after he blamed the US for luring his constituents north.

“Kamala, Trump won,” read a large sign near the Central American country’s presidential palace.

“Kamala, Mind Your Own Business,” another sign said, according to a pool report.

Images posted to Twitter show other signs, including one that tells Biden’s migration czar: “Kamala, Go Home.”

Another large sign set up by activists features a doctored photo of a pregnant Harris.

The poster read, “Guatemala is pro-life #momalahelpme.” Harris does not have biological children.

Another sign that appears to have been hoisted by activists onto a tall billboard along the roadway says, “Kamala Stop Funding Criminals #FueraDeGuatemala.”

It’s unclear how many participants were involved in the protest.

Giammattei said in a CBS News interview that aired Sunday that the Biden administration is to blame for sparking the migration crisis.

The Guatemalan president said he and Harris “are not on the same side of the coin” on migration.

“We asked the United States government to send more of a clear message to prevent more people from leaving,” Giammattei said.

When Biden took office, “The message changed too: ‘We’re going to reunite families, we’re going to reunite children,’” he said. “The very next day, the coyotes were here organizing groups of children to take them to the United States.”

Eat most of that and your body will freeze in cholesterol slime.
 


This reminds me of when someone threw a shoe at GW. I love it.

What kind of passive-aggressive action would you all take upon Biden? I'd probably just call him a cuck or something..
 
Bummer that Biden couldn't get an infrastructure bill pushed through. Add it to the list of missed campaign promises.
