A few days ago, Biden claimed he inherited a "failed Republican economy." Yeah. "Failed."

W. James Antle: Biden is an Inflation Denialist.

I guess The Regime is pivoting towards admitting we're in a recession -- and then selling you on the idea it's good to be in a recession.

wapo_7_ways_a_recession_could_be_good_for_you_09-28-2022.jpg

Via Ed Driscoll at Instapundit, who quotes a couple of the way that Recessions are Fun and Profitable, according to the Washington Post. He also links a 1976 sketch from Saturday Night Live featuring Jimmy Carter selling you on the idea that inflation is good for you, because, if trends continue, by the year 2000, we'll all be millionaires.

What was parody then is Democrat/Media Regime reality now. Funflation, everybody!

Twitter suspended Libs of TikTok again, for unspecified "hateful conduct."

Once again, I have received a wrongful 7-day suspension as the result of a targeted harassment campaign from the Left to deplatform me. In response, we sent another letter to Twitter putting them on notice that we will sue them if they permanently suspend my account.

Twitter claims I have violated their "hateful conduct policy," but like my last suspension, they have provided no explanation as to how I violated this policy. Was it hateful to expose an all-ages drag show where a stripper performed in front of children? Was it hateful to expose a drag queen who allowed a small child to repeatedly rub their crotch?

Most likely, yes, that's what it is: Monopoly tech is pro-pedophilia. They are attempting to mainstream pedophilia, and hide it from the public until they feel the public is ready to tolerate pedophilia.

Seth Dillon of Babylon Bee, who I think is partners with Libs of TikTok in her website, again threatened to sue:

I think he might be in Texas? He suggested he would avail himself of Texas' anti-censorship law in October to sue Twitter, so I think he must be in Texas.

Meanwhile:

Ben Domenech
@bdomenech
YouTube has now apparently censored and removed the incoming Italian Prime Minister's 2019 speech to the World Congress on Families.

But, as I've said a thousand times: the corpservatives will continue to defend Google, FaceBook, and Twitter because (say it with me) they are simply being paid by Monopoly Tech, either directly or indirectly through pass-through money-laundering services like AEI, to defend them.

So everyone, make sure you patronize Conservative, Inc. media and trust the words they are literally being paid to write, the same as if they were an advertising agency on retainer by clients.

Prepare for a shock: The View's fake token Republican Alyssa Farrah Griffin says she might, get this, actually vote Democratic.

As Neo said: Whoa.

Alex Parker goes through her "evolution," which takes her from denouncing Trump, to denouncing the GOP, to denouncing nationalism, to calling for a third party, to now, saying she's open to voting for Democrats:

"As far as supporting Democrats, I'd be able to on a case-by-case basis. I'd have to look at their policies. And that’s kind of where I am."

Feeling harassed by Western governments for not supporting Ukraine with sufficient vigor and credulity? Well, you'll be happy to know there's one group of people permitted to openly align with Putin, and call for all Ukrainians to be "expelled" from their own country so that they can marry "their women," without any rebuke from the western media or any western government.

Want to guess what group of people is beyond any criticism?

It's the Palestinians, obviously.

Yesterday I wrote about the Sussex Police threatening people with prosecution if they noted that male transgender convicted of child molestation was a man, and was inarguably a man when he committed the crimes he was convicted of. I mentioned that when someone asked if they had the right as British citizens to speak freely, the police told them to read the law on hate.

But I didn't have that tweet exchange saved, and the cops deleted the evidence.

Well, I found the exchange. Jesse Singal had linked it:

Sky-high inflation has farmers like Tammy warning Americans about soaring pumpkin prices, with pumpkins up more than 15%.

Same bitch who turned her island nation into a Covid Prison Camp almost as totalitarian as China now also wants to ban free expression, surprisingly enough:

PM Jacinda Ardern calls internet freedom a “weapon of war” in most recent UN speech. Calls for a new type of internet with “rules and transparency”.
“How do you tackle climate change if people don’t believe it exists”.

It is time to encode it into law and the Constitution that any American politician who talks about limiting free speech has committed an impeachable offense and may be removed for that reason.

Flashback: Bill DeBlasio touting the offer from fast food places that if you could prove you were vaccinated, they'd give you free fries with your order. Which had to be picked up curbside or delivered, of course.

This was unbelievable then, but watching it now really hits home how sick all of these people were. pic.twitter.com/5CuEcFgGus

Portland now has several taxes on "the rich", that only apply to your income over $150,000.

These taxes have been wildly popular, because only a small fraction of people make over $150,000.

No. It is, but it is not. Its the same as the crazy woman a thread or two ago that insisted on walking to the front of the line.

Pro and Anti doesn't matter nearly as much as who is willing to say Yes or No. And, as the man said in the previous thread, he's not going to fight some stupid battle when its easier to just smile, nod, and go back home.

I watched this from Paul Joseph Watson earlier this week where he shares a bit of Meloni speaking and I wanted to get up scream a hearty FUCK YEAH! it was so inspiring. Listening to her in just this short bit made me feel how I felt when first listening to Rush Limbaugh. FINALLY someone was echoing everything I believed. It was exhilarating.

https://bit.ly/3SB6svW

So it is no wonder the WEF do not want this inspiring woman's message to spread. They fear if the world hears what she has to say, they will wholeheartedly agree with her and inspire a revolution against the current Great Reset tyranny in every Western nation.

60 The contrast with how Biden is treated vs Carter shows you how much things have changed.

Even Hollywood held Carter in contempt. They expected a certain minimum standard of competence and when he failed, they turned on him, hard.

Now? Many of the exact same people have convinced themselves that no error is too great. I think part of it is that the Boomers are old and angry. They didn't change the world, they proved to be bigger hypocrites than their parents and they are content to burn the world down as they face the horror of the grave.

So far as I can tell, the "proof" that man-made global warming exists goes something like this.

Null hypothesis: Man is not responsible for the rate of change in global mean temperature.

Proof: Well, we can't think of any other possible cause, so we have disproved the null hypothesis. Man is at fault.

106 pondering the nordstream pipeline that the MSM apparently has been told not to talk about - you wonder if the US military is now actively trying to push the Russians into making some big response. Like a nuclear response.

Had a big discussion with my manager today regarding my career future. He and my direct manager have been given a directive by upper management to reduce direct headcount in our department and backfill with contract heads. I was identified as someone to move. I have fought it the entire time, consistently telling them I have no interest in "development opportunity" as I am in the job I want and have no interest in ever moving up to any management position.

I told him I am extremely angry and stressed about being forced into this, but I am prepared to either try my best in the new position or deal with unemployment. He replied trying to assure me that there is no intention to fire me "save for some disaster in the economy or nuclear war in the United States, your job is safe".

Considering both things seem to have a high likelihood of happening, I'm not feeling too good about that claim my job is "safe"...

A substantial portion of the Dem base is in complete, impenetrable denial.

You cannot reason someone out of denial. You cannot argue with them, only they can choose to leave that state of mind.

Part of this is to absolve themselves of responsibility for their choices, but I think a large part stems from a loss of faith in God. Their god is likes on social media or affirmation by their peer group. When things go from bad to worse, they shrug, blame Trump and just keep doing what they are doing because they are Good People.

I keep using the term Yard Sign Calvinists because I want it to be A Thing, but also it's the best way to describe them. They actually believe it is Stunning and Brave to put a up a sign they know that NONE of their neighbors find offensive, but the fact that not everyone has it, shows that they are better than the rest.

That's fun to think. Probably comforting. But I don't believe it for a second. Because you still have plenty of folks here, every day, that do not make a thin dime defending the status quo. Those peeps are not in it for the money.

Call it corpservatives - but I see it as Classical Republicans. They still back the blue. They still raise the flag. Hell ... every now and then, a couple of them either come out here and try to tamp down black pilled folks, or give us a Peggy Noonan speech that would make Lee Greenwood blush.

What happens - what will happen - is a macro collapse of all the other good shit we have now. As more people, without the means to trade currency for services in a trade that doesn't satisfy hunger, start doing what they have to do for an ounce of grain.

If you read the history of the early LDS church, all sorts of printing presses got destroyed. Any time some group decided they didn't like the pro LDS tracts, they would go in and toss their printing press out the window. The LDS side sometimes engaged in this practice too, destroying the printing presses of groups unfriendly to the Church.

You reminded me of a fun Ben Franklin fact. Whenever Franklin went out to buy printing supplies, he would use a cart that hadn't been greased at all. It would squeak horribly. Franklin did this so people would notice him buying printing supplies and think how busy and industrious and successful he must be to have to buy supplies AGAIN.

250 pretty sure delivering a charge that most likely isn't TNT, but has the force of thousands of pounds of TNT to two separate, unmarked targets, at sea, under 200-300 feet of water does, in fact, require just a touch of special equipment.

As long as you can scrape together the equipment for timed depth charges, the rest isn't tough. You'd need a fishing boat, GPS, a couple of guys, and a magnetometer you can drag behind your boat. The pipelines' general locations are well published.
