Home Depot founder stings Biden as 'worse than Jimmy Carter' as another inflation measurement hits a record high: 'This is a disgrace' - TheBlaze
Home Depot founder stings Biden as 'worse than Jimmy Carter' as another inflation measurement hits a record high: 'This is a disgrace' - TheBlaze:
Speaking with Fox News host Neil Cavuto on Wednesday, Langone decried the president's economic failures, specifically citing his refusal to acknowledge rising inflation as a lasting problem early in his presidency. Biden famously called inflation "transitory" last year.
"This was not transitory, this was a real, serious case of inflation," Langone charged. "We lost a whole year on addressing the issue. Only because, frankly, we have leadership today in America that isn't willing to admit when they're wrong. They made a terrible blunder here, and now the price has got to be paid."
Imagine a republican asking for this-----Warnock Asks Court To Seal Child Custody Proceedings, Citing Reelection Bid
Warnock Asks Court To Seal Child Custody Proceedings, Citing Reelection Bid link
"Democratic senator Raphael Warnock asked a Georgia judge on Tuesday to seal his contentious child custody dispute from the public, arguing that because he is "currently running for reelection" his opponent could use the case to "gain some political advantage," according to a court motion obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
Warnock made the request in a joint motion with his ex-wife, Oulèye Ndoye, following renewed media attention on their divorce.
..."[Warnock's] opposition is utilizing the public records in order to gain some political advantage or gain," said the filing, adding that their children could be "harmed by any unstable person who sympathizes" with his opponent.
...Ndoye reopened the dispute in a February court filing, accusing Warnock of neglect of his children and failure to pay for childcare, leaving her "financially strapped."

Chinese Quarantine Camp Is Something Out of a Horror Movie - Louder With Crowder
Chinese Quarantine Camp Is Something Out of a Horror Movie - Louder With Crowder:
You might remember videos of Australians sitting on their porches in quarantine camps, maybe even arguing with the guards/physicians/jackboots in charge, but even those conditions prove too free for the Chinese Communist Party. No. China’s unclean COVID sufferers don’t merit anything of the sort. They just get a little cube-shaped cell with a small hole.

...The three economists used clear metrics to measure and compare the effects of widely different policies followed in the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
- ...Economically, Rocky Mountain and Great Plains states with relatively few restrictions come out best — Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Utah, Idaho, and Arizona.
- ...At the bottom were tightly locked-down Hawaii and densely populated and high-lockdown New Jersey, Connecticut, New York, and Illinois. Clearly, lockdowns had high economic costs.
Not so much...Read all.
Justice Department Punishes J6 Defendants for Obstruction but Not Democrats
Justice Department Punishes J6 Defendants for Obstruction but Not Democrats link
- Why didn’t the Department of Justice hold the 2016 Democratic congressional obstructionists to the same standard as those now being charged with obstructing an official proceeding on January 6?
...All the while, mind you, Democrats are ignoring their own hours-long obstruction of an official proceeding just a few short years ago when Republicans held the majority in the House.
- Likely forgotten by most Americans today thanks to the media’s love affair with all things liberal, the incident took place in June 2016 when Democrats staged a raucous “sit-in” in the House chamber where they blocked official business from occurring for roughly 26 hours. There were reports of House furniture being damaged and congressional staffers being mistreated and yet there were no outlandish cries of insurrection and certainly no mention of there being an obstruction of an official proceeding, even though that’s clearly what happened. One House Democrat admitted, “We fully appreciate that we are in full violation of the rules.”...Read all.

Is the Arctic Ice about to Disappear? - link
- Despite what we might read in the newspaper, we will likely have ice in the Arctic for a long time.
The Catlin Arctic Survey, a project set out to answer vital scientific questions about sea ice in the Arctic, had just returned with its findings....How long did the Arctic ice cover have left?
The results, said Wadhams, who has studied the Arctic since the 1970s, were terrifying.
The survey supported the “new consensus view that the rapid melting of sea ice will turn this frozen landscape into an open ocean within twenty years” and that “much of that decrease will be happening within ten years.”
...Three years later, Wadhams predicted that an ice-free Arctic would occur in 2015 or 2016, describing the climate events of these northern latitudes as a “global disaster.”..."
