Florida has been the left's target since the pandemic began because it was an early adopter of lockdown skepticism under DeSantis
Newsom is just full of it, as usual.
California Governor Gavin Newsom, dumbest Democrat politician alive, walks into French Laundry door . . . again
Newsom: “You were a lockdown Governor… you locked down your beaches bars and restaurants… that’s just a fact. He’s running away from his record.”
DeSantis: “He’s imposed restrictions on his own people while exempting himself from those restrictions and going to the French Laundry while his people were suffering.”

Core pce inflation, which excludes food and energy measures, is still high at 3.5% year over year in October 2023, down 0.2 points from September or 5.4%
Price increases at 3.5% instead of 3.7% year over year. This level remains outside of most people's experience since the late 1990s.
The broad measure fell to 3.0% from 3.4%. The energy goods and services component yoy has been negative, that is deflationary, for eight months in a row. The food component was up 2.0% year over year in October but is now in its tenth month of declines out of twelve on a year over year measure monthly.
Declining energy input costs have been the story behind declining inflation measures overall, primarily natural gas which is twice as important to the U.S. economy as gasoline on a BTU basis.
The Biden administration's green energy policy is at war with the reason for the happy circumstance of declining inflation measures it finds itself in, and Biden could be sailing to re-election if he were instead supporting fossil fuel production, which would slay the inflation dragon dead.

The Financial Times lol: Liberal democracy good, conservative democracy bad
Is The Financial Times' coverage worth a pound sterling?
Politico: Northampton County Pennsylvania touchscreen voting machines in 2019 election had reliable paper backups, but not in 2023
The 2019 election was the first time Northampton used the touchscreen voting machines from Election Systems & Software. That year, a programming glitch caused the ES&S machines to significantly undercount the votes for the Democratic candidate in a local judges’ race. Then on Nov. 7 this year, Northampton residents who showed up at their local polling station found that printouts from the same devices didn’t match the votes they had submitted digitally for two down-ballot judges contests. ... “In 2019, when the issues came up with the touchscreens, we were told, ‘Don’t worry about it. The cards are recording the votes,’” Northampton County Republican Committee Chair Glenn Geissinger told POLITICO. “OK, you’re telling me now, in 2023, ‘Don’t worry about what’s printed on the card?’”

Hamas wing at Pennsylvania's Dickinson College goes after Democrat Senator John Fetterman for his unqualified support for Israel
Pennsylvania is home to a large Jewish population. Philadelphia, the state's largest city, has the fifth largest Jewish population in the country, according to the Center for Israel.

The article twice says amusingly that Democrat Representative Rashida Tlaib of Michigan was "censored".
She wasn't. She was censured by the U.S. House of Representatives for what she freely said.
It is unclear from the story whether Mireille Rebeiz, Chair of Middle East Studies and Associate Professor at Dickinson College, Pennsylvania, actually said censored or censured. It is possible she is not correctly quoted. It is also possible she doesn't understand English that well.
Hard to say!
In any event, Newsweek's headline is over the top: "John Fetterman Faces Revolt in Pennsylvania". It's one crank at a college, to which you probably shouldn't send your kid.
The real headline is: Dutch Muslims not afraid of Geert Wilders' big win because Dutch system means he will have to compromise
Muslims in shock over anti-Islam party's Dutch poll win :
"In part the message is that many people are xenophobic and don't want foreigners or Muslims. But another message is that people are very disappointed in 13 years of Rutte," [one Muslim] said. ...
"He will not make the laws alone (other parties) will join and they have to cooperate," Kemal Yildiz, 54, said. "It will be fine," Yildiz added.

Progressive lunatic Jamin Ben Raskin wants America to memorialize Thomas Paine as our greatest founding father lol
It's no mystery why Paine came to be shunned by the founders. He was a radical, anti-Christian kook, kind of like Jamie Raskin.

JFK was assassinated by a pro-Cuban communist nut job, Lee Harvey Oswald
If you still believe otherwise after reading James Piereson's "Martyr of the Cold War", there's no hope for you.
American left shocked, shocked I tell you, that new Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (LA-4) has traditional Christian beliefs shared by most American Christians going back to the founding
Audio Unearthed of New House Speaker Calling Humans 'Inherently Evil'...
"One of the primary purposes of the law in civil government is to restrain evil… We have to acknowledge collectively that man is inherently evil and needs to be restrained."

Cornel West's campaign of all the different voices is just the cacophany you'd expect from the University of Michigan Hospital's ninth floor
In the jazz parlance that West regularly uses to describe his candidacy, the campaign is getting more out and free.
“I am in no way an ordinary politician,” West said. “Therefore, it’s a matter of making sure that we have people in place who are willing to be unorthodox and cut against the grain, organizationally, internally and politically and morally.”
“We want to be jazz-like, in terms of raising all of the different voices,” he added.

"We focus on Gaza at this moment, because a genocidal attack is taking place."

Assistant Press Secretary Michael Kikukawa shows that The White House is still Cloud MAGA Cuckoo Land
. . . with inflation still high, interest rates on goods stubbornly
through the roof and the housing market hobbling, Biden’s handling of
the economy takes hit after hit in polls. Voters say they felt better
off financially under his predecessor — whom he will likely meet again
in the 2024 general election — leaving Democrats to suggest it’s time
for the Biden campaign to change its game on the matter. ...
"We’re working every day to show the American people what President Biden and Congressional Democrats have delivered by lowering prescription drug prices, creating manufacturing jobs, and rebuilding our roads and bridges,” said Michael Kikukawa, assistant White House press secretary.
“That’s Bidenomics, and recent elections have shown that Americans prefer it to trickle-down MAGAnomics. We will continue reaching out to the portion of Americans who are not yet aware of those incredibly popular accomplishments,” he said.

Gasoline averaged $2.48825/gallon for the four years 2017-2020, which Obama infamously said was impossible
Add in 2015 and 2016 and it averaged $2.42383.
In October 2023 under Obama 2.0 Americans pay 56% more than that.
Titans of American business pay to have dinner with genocidal dictator Xi Jinping
Elon Musk was there, too, but this story never mentions it:
Xi’s 10 years as president are marked by a genocide against China’s Muslim minority, attempts to wipe out Tibetan culture, and persecution of Christians and followers of Falun Gong – not to mention a crackdown on democracy, religious freedom, and civil rights in Hong Kong.
Yet, during official and unofficial meetings this week, there was no mention of the long list of atrocities. Instead, Xi received an unusually warm reception.
On Wednesday night in the confines of San Francisco’s Hyatt Regency ballroom, America’s corporate chieftains gathered to fete Xi as a “guest of honor” at a banquet drawing nearly 400 attendees. The gala took place on the sidelines of the Asian Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, a gathering of 21 member countries to support free trade and business ties.
The executives were so excited to share the room with the Chinese president that they gave him two standing ovations before Xi uttered a word. American titans of business, including Apple’s Tim Cook and Blackstone’s Steve Schwarzman, Black Rock’s Larry Fink, Boeing’s Stanley Deal, and Pfizer’s Albert Bourla, joined Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo to rub shoulders with Xi and a cohort of Chinese officials.
Tickets for the banquet started at $2,000 each, with several companies shelling out $40,000 to buy eight seats at a table in the ballroom and one at Xi’s table. After Xi’s remarks, attendees provided yet another standing ovation, according to Reuters.
Some executives made no attempt to hide their gushing. On the way into the Hyatt, Bridgewater Associates hedge fund founder Ray Dalio told the Financial Times that he was “excited to have this relationship [with Xi].”
If Dalio entered the hotel from the main lobby, he couldn’t
have avoided the polar opposite scene and messaging. A Tibetan student
activist named Tsela had strapped herself to a flagpole and was waving
the Tibetan flag when Xi and his entourage arrived. Other activists from
Students for a Free Tibet chanted “Murderer” at the Chinese leader,
“Down with the CCP,” and “Human Rights in Tibet.”

Lyin' commie Xi Jinpingpong is in town saying China seeks no sphere of influence lol
Massive new Chinese military capabilities built up in the South China Sea say otherwise, but the west coast tech traitors just clap, and clap, and clap some more for this guy.
Meanwhile grandpa poopy pants at the pope party had a similar, brief, and extremely unfortunate truth eruption in front of the press, calling Xi a dictator, spoiling the moment for the Chicoms.
The whole thing stinks, even after cleaning the streets in San Francisco for once, and yes, Gavin Newsom was in the middle of this.
US House Democrat minority leader Hakeem Jeffries crows over passage of more of the same old, same old bloated spending by continuing resolution
Looking forward to a Moody's downgrade, if they've got the guts. Congress certainly doesn't.
Senate sends funding bill to Biden’s desk, averting a government shutdown :
WASHINGTON — The Senate passed a stopgap funding bill Wednesday night, punting the GOP’s spending fight and the threat of a government shutdown until after the holidays.
The bipartisan vote was 87-11, with 10 Republicans and one Democrat — Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado — voting against the bill. ...
The short-term bill, known as a continuing resolution, or CR, cleared the House on Tuesday on
a lopsided 336-95 vote, with all but two of the no votes coming from
Republicans. The funding bill next heads to President Joe Biden’s desk
for his expected signature. ...
“No spending cuts, no right-wing extreme policy changes, no government shutdown, no votes tomorrow, Happy Thanksgiving,” he said. “That is a type of report that, when you are able to give it, means morale is very high.”

Dim bulb Jonathan Martin says Joe should heave Bidenomics into the dumpster just as broad inflation tanks from 3.7% yoy in September to 3.2% yoy in October
Perhaps the most overwhelming economic messaging advice I picked up from Democrats was for him to heave “Bidenomics” into the dumpster. Attempting to make voters believe something they don’t is folly. Attaching your name to that strategy borders on masochistic.
Here’s How Biden Can Turn It Around
Joe would be well on his way to re-election right now if he weren't shooting himself in the foot with his stupid green energy policies, which are keeping inflation from coming down harder than it already is.
That's what needs to go in the dumpster.
Joe Biden: David Axelrod is a prick
On that we agree.
Here.
But Jonathan Martin must be joking when he recommends Biden bring in Rahm Emanuel to run the 2024 re-election campaign and Bill and Hillary to lead a Mideast peace process.
I mean LOL:
It may sound far-fetched, but this is no time for small thinking. The moment demands all hands on deck.

America is the way it is because half the people are off their rocker
The other half are men.
All the pet psychics and all the customers in this story by a woman are women.
One guy gets in his two cents though:
"Animal communicators and the people who use them tend to have a personality type that’s prone to fantasy. Pet psychics work much the way human psychics work, he says."

Farts in space
This story was a real eye-opener for me.
The adverse health consequences of long term deep space travel make it a non-starter.
Sad.
