The purchasing power of the US dollar has fallen 12.6% since Joe Biden was installed two years ago

Let's go, Brandon.

The only Republican who gets it that it's pointless to elect a lame duck and say it is Mike Pompeo

Trump's delusional Republican base does not understand politics at all.

“We will nominate someone who is decent and serious and thoughtful and ready to crush it for eight years,” Pompeo said on the “Good Morning New Hampshire” radio program.

Blood and soil nationalism

A nation properly signifies a great number of families derived from the same blood, born in the same country, and living under the same government.

LOL, purchasing power of the US dollar FALLS a whopping 2.3% in January 2023 compared with last year's average

From 34.2 average annual 2022 to 33.4 in Jan 2023.

That's on top of the 7.3% average fall between 2021 and 2022.

Inflation. It's what's for dinner.

LOL WaPo, stroking Gen Z for not driving cars because of "significant effects on carbon emissions"

Here:

If Gen Zers continue to eschew driving, it could have significant effects on the country’s carbon emissions. Transportation is the largest source of CO2 emissions in the United States. There are roughly 66 million members of Gen Z living in the United States. If each one drove just 10 percent less than the national average — that is, driving 972 miles less every year — that would save 25.6 million metric tons of carbon dioxide from spewing into the atmosphere. That’s the equivalent to the annual emissions of more than six coal-fired power plants.

Six!

Oooh. Sounds like a lot.

WaPo: US military fails to detect slow-moving objects like balloons because speed gate, velocity gate, altitude gate sensors and the like aren't set to detect them

The Chicoms are obviously testing us to see what we are NOT looking for.

From the story here:

The incursions in the past week have changed how analysts receive and interpret information from radars and sensors, a U.S. official said Saturday, partly addressing a key question of why so many objects have recently surfaced. The official, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue, said that sensory equipment absorbs a lot of raw data, and filters are used so humans and machines can make sense of what is collected. But that process always runs the risk of leaving out something important, the official said. “We basically opened the filters,” the official added, much like a car buyer unchecking boxes on a website to broaden the parameters of what can be searched.
