US Politics | June 2024

"Inflation in the United States & The 2024 Election"

Has the U.S. lost its mind? Why are the residents in these states still driving cars? Could it possibly be another lawfare by ambitious lawyer-politicians? What exactly is climate change in a world filled with subjective views? And why are we observing such limited adoption of hybrid and electric vehicles? Instead of focusing on improving electric grids, politicians are now gearing up for natural disaster scenarios to line their pockets and increase gasoline prices with legal tactics, turning ambulance chasers into hurricane chasers.

Vermont to Require Fossil-Fuel Companies to Pay for Climate Damage

Under the country’s first “climate superfund” law, Vermont will charge large emitters for climate-related damage to the state.

The New York Senate passed a similar bill for the second time earlier this month.An effort to pass the bill into law last year was unsuccessful as Governor Kathy Hochul did not incorporate it in the budget, leading to its failure in the legislature. Massachusetts, California and Maryland have also introduced climate superfund bills.

After the New York Jury found Mr. Trump guilty of all 34 accounts, whatever it is, the leftist and anti-Trumper’ could not hold their joy. A couple weeks later, he has risen in popularity and hauled in record fundraising and united the Republican party at a meeting in Washington June 13. And what is the response of the liberals and haters, pure desperation but none understands that the people committed to Trump are here to stay, and the trend of the undecided with the current Trump presentation, toned down, trending towards him? Writing horror scenario’ and made-up stories. If you have followed some people on the WAPO (Especially Jennifer Rubin seems to have red Trumps Horoscope, or Dana Milbank, another prophet)  or Newsweek (a WAPO owned Speaker), it is their mission to generate multiple stories on Trump and its followers daily, not even realizing how unimportant their messages are and charged with their personal negative emotion. Where is Jeff Bezos Leadership, he would not tolerate those people at Amazon, so perhaps Biden is a better option for his Business. Certainly the 2020 donors had their favorites, and if you  know the LinkedIn Owner, Reid Hoffman, he probably is the biggest Trump hater of them all. But of all, they simply disrespect peoples own thinking. 

And this is what they should be, read the WAPO principles and read the Paper for a Day, especially the opinion pieces it takes your breath how opinionated they are? But are there changes coming or are they following Bidens approval ratings. 

The Seven Principles for the Conduct of a Newspaper

• The first mission of a newspaper is to tell the truth as nearly as the truth may be ascertained.
• The newspaper shall tell ALL the truth so far as it can learn it, concerning the important affairs of America and the world.
• As a disseminator of the news, the paper shall observe the decencies that are obligatory upon a private gentleman.
• What it prints shall be fit reading for the young as well as for the old.
• The newspaper’s duty is to its readers and to the public at large, and not to the private interests of its owners.
• In the pursuit of truth, the newspaper shall be prepared to make sacrifices of its material fortunes, if such course be necessary for the public good.
• The newspaper shall not be the ally of any special interest but shall be fair and free and wholesome in its outlook on public affairs and public men. Eugene Meyer, March 5, 1935

Defending the changes, Lewis told staffers at one point: “We are losing large amounts of money. Your audience has halved in recent years. People are not reading your stuff. I can’t sugarcoat it anymore. So I’ve had to take decisive, urgent action to set us on a different path, sourcing talent that I have worked with that are the best of the best.”

If you are not enough confused, this may make more sense, not sure if it is a January 6 hit piece or going back to Christopher Columbus, what this people do not understand, they might have been born in happy places like Guatemala instead. 

The Biden announcements about virtual cost savings,Yet another landmark in the government's spending spree / effort to entice voters (consumers) to embrace electric vehicles for the betterment of our planet. While this may be seen as a mix of incentives and penalties, it begs the question: what about advancements in grid infrastructure and the overall strategic plan?

Total Consumer Savings on Fuel and Maintenance of Up To $3.2 Billion; Estimated Savings of $18,000 to $24,000 Over Life of Vehicle

WASHINGTON — Yesterday, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and IRS announced consumers have saved more than $1 billion in upfront costs on their purchase of more than 150,000 clean vehicles since January 1, 2024, marking a major milestone in the Biden-Harris Administration’s work to lower transportation costs for Americans.

This milestone translates to consumers saving $1,750 annually on average on fuel and maintenance costs, or $21,000 of discounted savings over the typical 15-year lifespan of a vehicle, compared to a comparable gasoline vehicle. For the more than 150,000 vehicle sales that have used the upfront discount to date, this equates to around $262 million annually on fuel and maintenance costs, and up to $3.2 billion in costs over the life of the vehicles.

Since the passage of President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, the U.S. has experienced significant growth in the clean vehicle industry. In 2023, the U.S. saw around 1.5 million passenger clean vehicle (battery electric, fuel cell, plug-in hybrids) sales — the highest annual total ever, and a 50 percent year-over-year increase from 2022. Yesterday’s announcement demonstrates the significant related cost savings Americans are benefitting from as a result.

Bidens latest Border proposal is another smoke screen to avoid sinking approval ratings, and they try to put Kamala Harris in the spotlight.Have you ever thought about the data from the most recent job report in May? Despite the increase of 339,000 jobs, it is evident that the Health Care and Government sectors, as well as numerous part-time and retail positions, continue to be dominated by individuals working under work permits, some of which may not have been legally obtained. Those within these industries will confirm the prevalence of "fake" work permits that appear to be authentic. Perhaps they are printed at the Border? And the Immigration activists, already want the Border reopened, in another democratic move, say Lawfare while some 70% of Americans are unhappy about it. 

Employment showed little or no change over the month in other major industries, including mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction; construction; manufacturing; wholesale trade; transportation and warehousing; information; financial activities; and other services

Aren’t those the jobs we were all promised? Just another left touting the Horn as the overall picture may not be as rosy as the unemployment number show a slight uptick and some prominent people question the numbers. 

The household survey also showed that full-time workers declined by 625,000, while those holding part-time positions increased by 286,000

The Border Patrol arrested Gerardo Henao 14 hours after President Joe Biden suspended asylum processing at the U.S. border with Mexico this week. But instead of being summarily deported, he was dropped off by agents the next day at a San Diego bus stop, where he caught a train to the airport for a flight to Newark, New Jersey.

Henao, who said he left his jewelry business in Medellin, Colombia, because of constant extortion attempts, had one thing working in his favor: a scarcity of deportation flights to that country. Lack of resources, diplomatic limitations and logistical hurdles make it difficult for the Biden administration to impose its sweeping measure on a large scale.

The policy, which took effect Wednesday, has an exception for “operational considerations,” official language acknowledging the government lacks the money and authority to deport everyone subject to the measure, especially people from countries in South America, Asia, Africa and Europe who didn't start showing up at the border until recently.

The Homeland Security Department said in a detailed document outlining the ban that “demographics and nationalities encountered at the border significantly impact” its ability to deport people.

Are we truly choosing Joe Biden or Kamala Harris for elective office, and why does this decision always seem secondary, particularly considering the factor of age? Here are some thoughts, if you ever are comfortable with the thought of President Harris?

What truly defines the heartbeat of the nation? Whether Trump is poised for a landslide victory remains to be seen. Current polling data favors him, yet there is still plenty of time until the election, with the first debate coming up. 

Who is Jake Sullivan? Upon Googling him, the first result is his wife's account of a tragic stillborn baby and the impact of abortion laws that propelled him into the realm of politics. Surprisingly, she seems unfazed by the fact that her husband is a staunch advocate of war. In examining Mr. Sullivan's professional journey through a global lens, his legal defense tactics align him with a pattern of being on the "wrong side" of history much like his boss, rendering him notably ineffective.

On March 13, 2022, Sullivan warned of a full-fledged NATO response if Russia attacks any part of NATO territory.[49] He reportedly advised Zelenskyy not to try to retake Crimea or attack the Crimean Bridge, fearing that Russia might respond with a nuclear strike. Sullivan also reportedly imposed restrictions to prevent Ukraine from using Western-supplied weapons for retaliatory attacks on Russian territory.[50]

On March 14, 2022, he warned China that it would face consequences if it helped Russia evade sanctions.[51]

On July 6, 2023, President Joe Biden authorized the provision of cluster munitions in support of a Ukrainian counteroffensive against Russian forces in Russian-annexed southeastern Ukraine, bypassing U.S. law prohibiting the transfer of cluster munitions with a failure rate greater than one percent.[52] Sullivan defended the use of cluster munitions, saying that "Ukraine would not be using these munitions in some foreign land. This is their country they're defending."[53]

On October 2, 2023, Sullivan stated in an article in Foreign Affairs that the Biden administration had "de-escalated crises in Gaza". Five days later, Hamas launched a large-scale attack on Israel from the Gaza Strip, sparking the 2023 Israel–Hamas war. The article was later edited for online release.[54] 

Where have the Democrats missed the turn? Here a piece from 2022, and since the moderate democrats have all fallen in line with the party-line, hanging on their ideological messaging about abortion and all their pet projects but missing out completely what the democrats once stood for? Have they really become the Elite intelligence, decoupled from any common sense? 

The video was a television advertisement from Bill Clinton’s 1996 re-election campaign. Over images of construction workers and children and police officers, a series of bold captions touted Clinton’s first-term accomplishments: “WELFARE REFORM, WORK REQUIREMENTS”; “TAXES CUT FOR 15,000,000 FAMILIES”; “DEATH PENALTY FOR DRUG KINGPINS.” His promises for a second term followed: “BAN ‘COP-KILLER’ BULLETS”; “CAPITAL GAINS TAX CUT FOR HOME OWNERS”; “BALANCE THE BUDGET FOR A GROWING ECONOMY” “We are safer, we are more secure, we are more prosperous,” Clinton said. When the ad was over, Gottheimer says, he looked at Pelosi. “This is how we won,” he told her, “and this is how we win again.”

Do you believe Kamala Harris, Michelle Obama, Gavin Newsom, or any other name currently being considered for the 2028 ticket possesses any of these qualifications? Stay tuned for more on the VP selection in the upcoming discussion.
