Flashback: When climate hypocrite Barack Obama called out for pizza right at the beginning of his presidency in 2009, the guy had to fly it in from St. Louis

 

Joe Manchin wants to pause before spending any more money since we've already injected $5 TRILLION into the economy because of the pandemic

 Ya think?

Last year's spending was an ORGY, and along comes this guy suggesting we take a break and he's public enemy numero uno to Democrats and the picture of conservatism to admiring Republicans.

We are so screwed.

From the story:

• He's argued Congress should take a “strategic pause” on the bigger package until Congress had more time to assess the effects of the nearly $5 trillion COVID stimulus spending in 2020 and earlier this year.

• His statements on Wednesday amounted to an I-told-you-so.
• “By all accounts, the threat posed by record inflation to the American people is not ‘transitory’ and is instead getting worse,” Manchin said. “From the grocery store to the gas pump, Americans know the inflation tax is real and D.C. can no longer ignore the economic pain Americans feel every day.”
  

Not gonna deny it: Disappointed to see our future president bawl like a little baby on the witness stand today

If Wisconsin political authorities had ensured law and order in Kenosha, none of this would be happening. 

It's on them, but they'll still get away with it.

LOL, Colin Kaepernick = Throwsa Parks

 

The Grauniad: Barack Obama, poster boy for climate hypocrisy

 

The young people who were children when Obama took office did not clear the way for a 750% explosion in crude oil exports, as he did just a few days after the Paris agreement was brokered in 2015. Nor did they boast proudly about it years later, as ever-more research mounted about the dangers of continuing to invest in fossil fuels. Speaking at a Houston, Texas gala in 2018, the former president proudly took credit for booming US fossil fuel production. “Suddenly America is the largest oil producer. That was me people,” he boasted jokingly to an industry-friendly crowd. “Say thank you.”

More, lol.

Uncle Sam wants YOU to be a vaccine snitch

 

Matthew Dowd's woke Jesus never said "I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel" or "It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs"

 "How about we just say it is human decency to treat all with respect and dignity and that it is constitutional to say all men and women are equal."

I'm not sure it was actually Billy Pilgrim who appeared in my dream the other night

 But the theme for today sure does seem to indicate that.

I mean, Biden told businesses to vaccinate anyway even after the Fifth Circuit Court for Appeals stayed his OSHA mandate. Trump would have been lynched in a second for that.

I mean impeached.

So it goes.

Everything is horrible and I don't think it really matters.

Deconstruct that, Pete Booty Judge.

In the world of comedy today Kyle Rittenhouse made Gaige Grosskreutz nearly burst into tears on the witness stand without even saying a word

 That's how powerful our future president really is.

Also today we learned that your receding shoreline is the canary in the climate coalmine

 The oceans are rising, or something, but not on Martha's Vineyard.

Receding hairlines remain unexplained.

“Now for the bad news: We are nowhere near where we need to be yet…Most countries have failed to meet the action plans that they set 6 years ago".

Today we learned the road to racism is paved

 All of it must be torn up, starting with the Interstate Highway Systemic Racism.

"If an underpass was constructed such that a bus carrying mostly Black and Puerto Rican kids to a beach, [...] in New York was designed too low for it to pass by, that that obviously reflects racism that went into those design choices."

J. Bradford DeLong finds the inflationistas' logic hard to follow, but so is his

... the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its associated disruptions continue to cause a substantial undersupply of labor. ...

The labor market is still weak enough that workers are unable to demand substantial increases in real wages.

Make up your mind, Brad.

The White House says 1,100 deaths a day from COVID-19 is a grave matter, requiring a vaccine mandate

 2,400 abortions a day in 2017 was just chopped liver.

I own fresh green vegetables and I've been interested in them for a while

Hop on the bandwagon, people. :-\

Republicans voted for the Biden infrastructure bill despite the CBO's estimate it would add $250 billion+ to the national debt over 10 years

 Is $25 billion a year a big deal?

We're already paying $500 billion+ EVERY YEAR in interest expense on the debt.

Nobody cares.

 

 

Whistleblower reveals to British Medical Journal that just 9 of 153 Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine trial sites were inspected by the FDA, among a host of other problems

 

 

 

 

 

"full trial swabs were not taken from 477 people with suspected cases of symptomatic COVID-19"

Civilian employment under Biden in October 2021 is at about the same level it was four years ago under Trump

How long will it take to recover? Seven years like it did under Obama-Biden?

Let's hope not.

The current trajectory looks like civilian employment will recover round about March 2023, a little more than three years after the Feb 2020 peak. That is slightly longer than the typical 2-3 years during recessions.

Foolish energy and vaccine policies could interfere with that, however.

LOL, "He is supposed to be committed to reducing emissions", the story opens

An informed source has told The Mail on Sunday that Camilla was taken aback to hear Biden break wind as they made polite small talk at the global climate change gathering in Glasgow last week.

'It was long and loud and impossible to ignore,' the source said. 'Camilla hasn't stopped talking about it.'

I'm speechless: The Wall Street Journal blames unvaccinated children for breakthrough infections, not the shitty vaccines

 

Ajit Lalvani, chair of infectious diseases at Imperial College London and lead author of the household-transmission study, said people in their 40s were at higher risk of breakthrough infection for two reasons. “Waning immunity plus pools of unvaccinated people acting as vectors of infection into the household where it transmits effectively to vaccinated parents,” he said. “Both are happening.”

Most people in their 40s received their second vaccination at least four months ago. ... They are also the most-likely age band to share a home with teenage children, a group that is still mostly unvaccinated in the U.K. and in which case numbers have been surging. The household-transmission study, which tracked 205 vaccinated and unvaccinated household contacts of a symptomatic case of Covid-19, found that around a quarter of those who were fully vaccinated went on to develop a breakthrough infection. The study, published in the medical journal Lancet Infectious Diseases last week, found that unvaccinated household members had a 38% chance of infection.
