I'm not shocked by much anymore, but this take shocks me.

Now endorsed by Trump for Senate from Ohio, J. D. Vance in 2016 couldn't decide if Trump was Nixon or America's Hilter

 Backs Candidate Who Said He's 'America's Hitler'... 

 

Yeah, well, at least Nixon had enough class to concede his stolen election in 1960, and Hitler committed suicide.

 

Vance touting Trump's endorsement makes them birds of a feather:

“Trump fought back and so have I,” Vance adds. “Now, I’ll take our fight to the U.S. Senate.”

 You can count on J. D. Vance in office to advance nothing but J. D. Vance.

Mamet: The New York Times isn't a newspaper, it's a rag for The State

 

Mamet declined through a representative to comment for this article; in “Recessional,” he dismisses The New York Times as “a former newspaper” and suggests that The Times and other media insist on works that “express ‘right thinking,’ that is, statism.”

Vaccine failure: Gridiron Club dinner on April 2 was a superspreader event among the triple-jabbed elites of Washington

New York City Mayor Eric Adams tested positive for the virus on Sunday after waking up with a raspy voice. Adams attended the Gridiron Dinner in Washington, an annual event that brings together prominent government officials and journalists. At least 80 people who attended the dinner, the first since 2019, have tested positive for Covid including several senior government officials, according to Gridiron Club President Tom DeFrank.

Attorney General Merrick Garland, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, Reps. Joaquin Castro and Adam Schiff, and Sen. Susan Collins all tested positive after attending the dinner.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D- Calif., also tested positive for Covid last week but wasn’t experiencing any symptoms and didn’t attend the Gridiron Dinner. Pelosi’s positive result came a day after she stood next to President Joe Biden at a bill-signing ceremony. Biden, who also did not attend the Gridiron Dinner, subsequently tested negative for Covid.

Abortion has left a "million empty spaces" every damn year since 1973 but we're supposed to view the COVID-19 death toll as cruel somehow

 Million empty spaces: Chronicling Covid's cruel American toll...

 

A reckoning is surely coming, and a million dead from COVID-19 is nothing compared to the utter evil cruelty and complacency of Americans in the face of this unspeakable holocaust of over 60 million.

We're as bad as any of the evil perpetrators of communist democide in China or Russia.

LOL, the record used goes back only to 2009

 Producer prices rise 11.2%; Biggest gain on record...

The oldest measure goes back to 1913:

The percent change from a year ago is really bad, as in 1974 bad, but hardly the "biggest gain on record", as you can plainly see.

The purchasing power of the US dollar is down 9.4% since Joe Biden was elected in November 2020, just sixteen months ago

 

Percent change from a year ago is shown

 

From 38.4 to 34.8 on the index = 9.375%.

From the spring to the summer of 1933 when FDR confiscated gold and devalued the dollar from $20 to $34 (70%), the decline in this index was 5%, and then 14% by 1940.
