THE TIDE IS TURNING... as they say...

While many of us dislike Donald Trump, what we have to accept whether we like it or not, the economy was the healthiest it has been in the history of our young country...  in other words, what he did WORKED...  China and Russia were afraid of him because of his unpredictability...  and, while that can be problematic at time, IT WORKED...

Very quickly, we have learned that the Biden Administration and his policies (assuming that they are really his) are not working...  and logically, the American public is beginning to realize that our economy cannot be blamed on COVID and the WAR IN UKRAINE.

It is also obvious that we cannot blame covid or the ukraine war for the increase in immigration or the increase in illegal drugs coming into the USA.

Nor can we blame the increase in violence and crime on covid or the ukraine war.

It took Trump 2 years to build the economy and it took Biden 2 years to destroy it...  with his FOCUS being whatever Trump did I will UNDO...  that spiteful attitude was good politically but it was not good for the American people as a whole.

Most people, including conservatives, realize that we must be good stewards of the environment and direct our attention to alternative energies...  BUT THAT MOVE MUST BE GRADUAL...  and, not the rapid acceleration that Biden wants...  it is reckless behavior...  which is why we are in the situation that we are in.

Economists will argue all day long what caused inflation as well as argue over the fact that we are not experiencing inflation at all.  This reminds me of being in college and listening to 2 PhDs argue claiming they both are correct simply because they have a PhD.  The winner of the debate was decided not on the facts but on who got their PhD first.

Of course that makes no sense!!!

A friend of mine from Canada told me the other day that because of the decline in the stock market due to Biden's policies, he has lost $100K.   He is retired and in his mid 70s and cannot afford to lose money.

Can you imagine what poor people are doing and how they have to live?

It is time to put Trump behind us and take the concepts that worked for him and implement them again...  just to see if we can pull ourselves out of this hole...

I believe the general public is beginning to think like this and I believe the midterms will reflect that change.

Manchin Unloads on Biden


Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin on Saturday slammed President Joe Biden for pledging to shut down America’s coal plants in a speech in California.

“President Biden’s comments are not only outrageous and divorced from reality, they ignore the severe economic pain the American people are feeling because of rising energy costs,” Manchin (D-W.Va.) said in a statement just days ahead of the midterm elections.

“Comments like these are the reason the American people are losing trust in President Biden. … It seems his positions change daily depending on the audience and politics of the day.”     READ MORE...

Biden Says: Twitter Spews Lies

ROSEMONT, Illinois, Nov 4 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden said on Friday that Elon Musk had purchased a social media platform in Twitter that spews lies across the world.

Twitter laid off half its workforce on Friday but said cuts were smaller in the team responsible for preventing the spread of misinformation, as advertisers pulled spending amid concerns about content moderation.

Biden said at a fundraiser: "And now what are we all worried about: Elon Musk goes out and buys an outfit that sends - that spews lies all across the world... There’s no editors anymore in America. There’s no editors. How do we expect kids to be able to understand what is at stake?"                                                                                             READ MORE...

AOC Continues to Mock Musk


Part of what has made New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez such a political star is her total lack of fear of speaking truth to power—and that includes one of the richest, and arguably most powerful, men in the world, Elon Musk.

AOC has been mercilessly dragging the new billionaire owner of Twitter, who acquired the platform last month for $44 billion in a purported bid to strengthen "free speech" and make the virtual "town square" a place where discourse is exchanged more freely.

In practice, this has mostly resulted in free-flowing racial, ethnic and anti-LGBTQ+ slurs and disinformation by the far-right figures to whom he has become a hero, and a desperate plan to charge verified users for their blue check marks.

If charging public figures for their only means of ensuring rogue account holders don't imitate and speak for them online seems antithetical to Musk's stated goals, you're not alone.  READ MORE...

Anti-Trumper Loses Fans


Jimmy Kimmel this week said that he has lost at least half of his fanbase due to his anti-Trump jokes on his late-night show.

"I have lost half of my fans — maybe more than that," the "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" host said on the "Naked Lunch" podcast Thursday, adding that "10 years ago among Republicans I was the most popular talk show host," according to research.

He said when former President Trump was first running for office ABC executives "hinted" he should back off on his jokes about the candidate.  READ MORE...

Husband Rented Out


He’s her husband, but can be your handyman.

A mother of three rents her hubby out to other women to do odd jobs for extra cash — and it turns out business is booming.

Laura Young’s spouse James has skills in general DIY, painting, decorating, tiling and carpet laying, so they’ve created a lucrative handyman business called “Rent My Handy Husband.”

James, 42, is currently booked up for the month of November on jobs, for which he charges $44 per hour and about $280 for a day rate. Their business has become so popular, they said, that they even had to turn down jobs.

“I never expected it to take off as much as it has,” Laura told Southwest News Service.

James works on the labor side of the job while Laura runs the social media accounts as well as their website.

James has been doing a variety of jobs so far, like putting up a TV and running up curtains.

Young said she first got the idea from a podcast that spoke about a man making a living putting furniture together for other people.  READ MORE...

Tattoos Prevent Employment


A woman claims she can’t secure a job after her tattoo “addiction” took over her body.

Covered in head-to-toe ink, Melissa Sloan, 45, from Wales has “lost count” of how many pieces of body art she has, saying she even covers up old tattoos with new ones due to a lack of bodily real estate.

“I’ve got too many tattoos now, too many to count. I’ve gone over ones I’ve already had,” she told the Mirror. “I’ll never stop, I tattooed over them because I’d ran out of space.”

Her passion for tattoos has soiled her career prospects, as many jobs “won’t have” her. While she’s cleaned toilets before, it didn’t last very long, but she would gladly “go and work” if someone offered her a position.  READ MORE...

First Female President in Mexico


MEXICO CITY, Nov 3 (Reuters) - The most historic legacy of President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, a left-leaning resource nationalist who casts his administration as a turning point in the annals of Mexico, may be to pave the way for the country's first woman leader.

Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum, a 60-year-old physicist, environmentalist and longstanding ally of Lopez Obrador who has governed as mayor in tandem with his presidency, has emerged as early front-runner to be his party's candidate in 2024, despite hints she could be more moderate than him.  READ MORE...
