Summary

Here’s how the United States has fared since President Joe Biden took office three years ago:

  • The economy added more than 14 million jobs. The number is now nearly 4.9 million higher than before the pandemic.

  • The unemployment rate dropped back to just above the pre-pandemic low; unfilled job openings again outnumber unemployed job seekers.

  • Inflation spiked to the highest level in over 40 years. Despite recent moderation, consumer prices are up nearly 18% overall during Biden’s time. Gasoline is up 29%.

  • Average weekly earnings haven’t kept pace with prices. After adjusting for inflation, “real” weekly earnings declined 3.4%.

  • Defying expectations, the nation’s economy expanded 2.5% in 2023, marking the third straight year of economic growth.

  • Crime data show a decrease in murders in U.S. cities in 2022 and 2023.

  • The S&P 500 has increased 28.2%.

  • The number of apprehensions of those trying to cross the southern border illegally remains near historical highs. For the 12 months ending in November, apprehensions are up 296%.

  • For the third straight year, gun purchases declined, as measured by background checks for firearm sales.

  • Crude oil production is up 12.7%; imports are up 8.7%.

  • The trade deficit for goods and services is about 20.9% higher.

  • The number of people without health insurance has gone down; enrollment in Affordable Care Act marketplace plans is at its highest point yet.

  • The number of people receiving federal food assistance has declined by more than 700,000.

  • The publicly held debt has increased by about 24.7%.

@SmallPaul All your supposed facts and figures come from Factcheck.org

Who would have guessed they’d view the Biden Administration through rose tinted glasses…

That’s why I posted a CNN article… If even the left leaning CNN is showing Trump thumping Biden in the Polls you can bet the real sentiment is far, far worse…

Nice try at impartiality though…

impartiality
noun

  1. equal treatment of all rivals or disputants; fairness…
    Is a principle of justice holding that decisions should be based on objective criteria, rather than on the basis of bias, prejudice …

On Polls, I never said anything, and I already expressed my opinion on Biden, The issue is not debatable,

Feel free to express yourself

That’s not at all surprising.

Trump on political violence in 2024: 'If we don’t win, you know, it depends.

Former President Donald Trump said in a new interview with Time magazine that he doesn’t think there will be political violence around the 2024 election because he believes he’ll win — but that it “always depends on the fairness of an election.”

@SmallPaul It’s just getting WORSE for Joe… We’ll forgive you for voting for Biden the first time… Not even God will offer forgiveness for a second time. Just know you will be complicit in the downfall of the United States if you help the Biden administration take power again …

Since you’re in the 33% that suffers from acute TDS… This is of Interest to you…

I’d call all this Buyer’s Remorse… But I don’t think America bought it in the first place… 81 million votes? Sure buddy…You keep telling yourself that… America needs fingerprint and photo ID and proof of registration… Just like other mainstay Western Nations… The UK, Australia and Canada,

Plan an election night party right now… The Trumpster win meltdown will be glorious…

Why I post CNN articles… If even the left leaning CNN is showing Trump thumping Biden across o few different metrics then you can bet the real sentiment is far, far, far… Far worse…

A US President who shakes hands with GHOSTS… WHO YOU GONNA CALL.?

@Trendswithbenefits It’s unclear who you’re auguring with, as I haven’t commented on your posts

@SmallPaul… That’s all you’ve got… Childish, immature meme’s… Displaying the level of intelligence used in your posts… Pathetic…

Nothing Tin Foil Hat about Biden’s approval rating in the US… Must be painful knowing you backed this clown with hundreds of posts over the last two years… What a Chump

@Trendswithbenefits I moved on, Let yourself be heard, the more the better :+1:

Mike Johnson will receive a lifeline from the democrats, something must be up - Keeping the republican party in chaos and turmoil, let’s hope they figure it out.

Democrats make shock move to back Republican speaker Mike Johnson

Top congressional Democrats announced on Tuesday that their party would throw Mike Johnson a lifeline if Republicans tried to remove him as speaker of the House of Representatives.

A handful had hinted they would support Mr Johnson for going against conservatives in his own party to pass $61bn in military aid for Ukraine.

“The time has come to turn the page on this chapter of Pro-Putin Republican obstruction,” the House Democratic leadership team said in a statement, implying that Republicans who opposed support for Ukraine were aiding Vladimir Putin, the Russian president.

Mr Johnson, a devout evangelical Louisiana conservative who has strong right-wing views on social issues such as abortion, is now effectively leading a coalition government in the House.

That may be a bitter pill to swallow for Democrats who vehemently disagree with him on policy and who believe their party could benefit from extended Republican turmoil. However, co-operation with the speaker goes beyond just aid for Ukraine.

I don’t know what’s going on in Israel, but I hope they are only killing fighters who are trying to kill them.

Israeli Minister Reportedly Asks IDF To Kill Palestinians Instead Of Arresting Them

Israel’s far-right national security minister has reportedly asked whether the military could kill some of the Palestinians taken captive instead of arresting them — the latest comment by one of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s multiple extremist cabinet members that dehumanizes residents of Gaza.

The comments by Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir were revealed Friday by Hebrew outlets Channel 12 and Ynet, and translated to English by the Times of Israel.

The Israeli Defense Force’s chief of staff, Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi, briefed ministers at a security cabinet meeting last week about recent operations in Gaza, where Israel has been carrying out a military offensive for almost seven months now in response to Hamas’ attack on Oct. 7 that killed about 1,200 people and captured roughly 250.

During the briefing, Halevi said that hundreds of Palestinians were recently arrested after surrendering to the military.

“Why are there so many arrests?” Ben-Gvir allegedly asked. “Can’t you kill some? Do you want to tell me they all surrender? What are we to do with so many arrested? It’s dangerous for the soldiers.”

Halevi was perplexed at the question, according to the Times of Israel, responding: “Dangerous for who?”

“We don’t shoot people who come out with their hands up. We shoot those who fight us,” the IDF official reportedly told Ben-Gvir. “There’s no dilemma here. Those who surrender, we arrest.”

In February, Ben-Gvir also called for the IDF to shoot Palestinian women and children in Gaza in order to “protect” the troops.

“There cannot be a situation in which children and women approach us from the wall,” he told Halevi, according to Israeli media. “Anyone who approaches in order to harm security must receive a bullet, otherwise we will see Oct. 7 again.”

It Begins… NYC’s Grocery Stores are closing over theft… Another successfully Governed Democrat Sanctuary city collapsing under ridiculous Leftist Government policies…

In San Francisco, the city is trying to sue stores for closing, rather than jail the thieves… WTF…

What an amazing time to be alive, we are literally watching the modern equivalent of the fall of Rome. You had a great run my friends in the USA but it looks like it’s well and truly over…

Democrat Ideology… Punish success and reward bad behaviour. It’s a progressive thing…

Biden supporters must be just so, so proud of themselves…

I agree 100%

EDIT: What you see in Democrat sanctuary cities has nothing to do with their status as a sanctuary city; it’s the Democrat policies on crime and other policies that have caused this problem. U.S. citizens are committing the majority of these crimes

Keep voting blue and they will keep forgetting you.

Donald Trump puts America on notice again: If he loses, he won’t go quietly

Donald Trump has put America on notice: If he loses the presidential election, he reserves the right to encourage his followers to fight.

When Time magazine asked Trump whether the election would end in political violence if he loses, the former president replied: “If we don’t win, you know, it depends. It always depends on the fairness of an election.”

“If everything’s honest, I’ll gladly accept the results,” he later told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “If it’s not, you have to fight for the right of the country.”

When Trump says “it depends,” here’s the problem: He has never competed in an election that he acknowledged as fair.

Even when he won the presidential election of 2016, he claimed that Hillary Clinton and the Democrats rigged the count to deny him a popular-vote landslide, contending without evidence that millions of noncitizens had voted in California. The official inquiry he ordered up found no significant irregularities.

In 2020, when he lost to President Biden by 7 million votes, Trump not only claimed the result was illegitimate; he worked for months to overturn it, demanding that state officials “find” thousands of new votes in his favor. When his court challenges failed, he summoned supporters to Washington and urged them to march on the Capitol.

@SmallPaul See you’re back posting your usual drivel once again… Where in any of your links does it refer to Trump expecting supporters to physically fighting after losing the election…

Oh that’s right… NO WHERE…

“If everything’s honest, I’ll gladly accept the results,” he later told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “If it’s not, you have to fight for the right of the country…

You obviously struggle to comprehend the context of anything published Trump supposedly says… It’s understandable though… I mean no one has a clue what that babbling fool Biden says in his recent speeches and addresses…

The media tries to twist the facts and simpletons like you just cannot differentiate facts from fiction… Just like the Bloodbath comment was twisted by the delusional woke media…

A man should never like sucking but we do have TDS

You got to be kidding, and he’s the judge on honest :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Trump’s own advisers add to evidence that election wasn’t stolen

After Donald Trump lost the election, Attorney General Bill Barr told Trump that Barr did not agree with calling the election “stolen” and that Trump’s statements were “bull—-.”

Barr also told Trump that his allegations about voting machine fraud were “nonsense.”

Some individuals were charged with voter fraud in the 2020 election, but the numbers were so small it would not have changed the outcome of the election.

“Trump engaged in a massive effort to spread false and fraudulent information to convince huge portions of the U.S. population that fraud had stolen the election from him. This was not true,” said U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., the committee vice chair.
