‘America’s debt timebomb: Missed credit card payments are UP
in 49 of 50 states as grim study shows where inflation and
high interest rates have wreaked most havoc’
dailymail http://tinyurl.com/2s43akvy

Do you pay off credit cards each month?
Is your household budget better or worse than three years ago?
http://tinyurl.com/4djmb6ew
There is a lot nuance in this discussion though. Prior to the pandemic, probably lots of people paid off their credit card balances monthly or if they needed to briefly finance somethings like spread the cost of something big over 3 months they did that too. But remember we have a government that doesn’t pay off it’s debt balance as well businesses that operate on credit. So why wouldn’t the average consumer think they shouldn’t do otherwise? Perhaps some might even think the public could crash the central banks this way. Don’t think that the central banks don’t deserve it.

Democrats must perpetuate racism, poverty, sexism, class division, and fear of climate change in order to survive.

They deserve to lose for their behavior. They’ve behaved childishly unlike the the Democrats of yore.
Yes, and if people could wake up, and vote the other way (temporarily at least) we would be much better off.
Soooo…..true!!!!!
Introduced in House (06/05/2023)
Disease X Act of 2023
“This bill expands the priorities of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) to specifically include viral threats that have the potential to cause a pandemic.”
“In particular, the bill expands the scope of innovation grants and contracts that may be awarded by BARDA to specifically include those that support research and development of certain manufacturing technology for medical countermeasures against viruses, including respiratory viruses, with pandemic potential. It also expands BARDA’s authorized strategic initiatives to include advanced research, development, and procurement of countermeasures and products to address viruses with pandemic potential.”
Make no mistake, this is the place holder for our government to continue the assault on our health. I ask my fellow citizens–what will disease X be?

Trump did nothing about immigration?
Built over 400 miles of the world’s most robust and advanced border wall.
Illegal crossings had plummeted over 87 percent where the wall had been constructed.
Deployed nearly 5,000 troops to the Southern border. In addition, Mexico deployed tens of thousands of their own soldiers and national guardsmen to secure their side of the US-Mexico border.
Ended the dangerous practice of Catch-and-Release, which meant that instead of aliens getting released into the United States pending future hearings never to be seen again, they were detained pending removal, and then ultimately returned to their home countries.
Entered into three historic asylum cooperation agreements with Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala to stop asylum fraud and resettle illegal migrants in third-party nations pending their asylum applications.
Entered into a historic partnership with Mexico, referred to as the “Migrant Protection Protocols,” to safely return asylum-seekers to Mexico while awaiting hearings in the United States.
And the only thing Biden did was to put heels-up Harris in charge of the border.
She did zero about it – except toss more word salad around.
I forgot to add the quotation marks & website for all that immigration info above.
I would never purposely take credit for someone else’s work.
My bad, here it is:

Clearly you were never a student at Harvard.
Trump’s impact on securing the county via the southern border was illustrated by the number of illegals flooding the southern border when sleepy/creepy Joe won the election. Mind you, they were wearing their “Biden” tee-shirts.
Why does the GOP block every proposal Biden has submitted? Because they need a talking point.
Yeah that’s it, they need a talking point.
Why has biden let millions of enemies into our country?
I hear biden beg and promise he’s finally ready to deal with it. What a loser
Sorry bum, too little too late.
Mass detention camps and mass deportations is the only option.
Doh – you know the definition of the Democrats “working across the aisle?”
“Do it my way.” Not agreeing with the democrats results in cries of racism.
The democrats are not interested in a comprehensive solution or agreement; they’re only interested in scoring political points and holding control.
🖕
The better question Doh is why does Biden refuse to enforce our immigration laws ? Quit watching MSNBC and you might learn something.
“Why does the GOP block every proposal Biden has submitted?”
Because every one of them is stupid, costly, and ineffective.
DOH,
.
Why do you assume that Republicans in Congress, or Democrats for that matter, have any obligation to consider, let alone pass, any “proposal” submitted by President Biden?
Congress makes the laws and the president has the option to sign or veto those bills, they’re under no obligation to consider his “proposals.”
Republican talking points:
1. Biden is on the take via Hunter.
2. The wide open border and the ills this brings.
3. 40 year record inflation.
4. Crime. Everywhere. All of the time.
5. Lawfare. The elites get preferential treatment.
Democrat talking points:
1. Trump.
2. Trump.
3. Trump.
4. Trump.
5. Trump.
The wall that is being sawed through daily. Yeah that’s working.
The wall is a joke and he lied to you about having Mexico pay for it.
I don’t accrue debt, but my grocery and energy bills are costing me thousands more than they did 2 years ago… I don’t save as much as I used to.
We are being fleeced!

A judge orders Beverly Hills to stop issuing building, remodeling and upgrade permits until Beverly Hills has a plan to meet the stupid Dictator Newscum rule for poor folk housing ….
Sorry, if the state wants them, the state can have them. I get it, Newscum has no standards, but some cities still care for their taxpayers and would like to do right by them.
Can you imagine a tent city in Beverley Hills? It would probably still sell for a half a million.
Newscum needs to go away!
Did you know, there are 1.2 million vacant homes in California, mostly managed by realtor speculators, and hedge equity funds, and most of these homes are owned by foreign investors, plus even some cities themselves! Instead of reinventing the wheel for the poor and homeless, why not use some of these empty residences, and while we’re add it, bring back good paying trade jobs to America!
Well guido, unfortunately the politicians in this country are constantly selling us out. Ironically it’s people like you who argue it’s racist to create laws preventing foreign investment in real estate. It’s people like you who have put farmers out of business because of cow farts and climate change allowing wackos like bill gates to buy up cheap land. There’s more than enough good paying trade jobs, unfortunately again, it’s people like you who cry racism when laws are proposed to hold employers accountable to the American people buy using everify to insure ILLEGAL WORKERS aren’t allowed to replace AMERICANS. It’s people like you why we can’t have affordable housing, jobs and a functioning society. People like you.
Maga Sam, unfortunately, you have absolutely no clue about who I am or what I truly believe in. I refuse to be pigeon holed as a liberal or fit into the nice little box you think I belong in. I come from 6 generations of California farmers and ranchers. I still have family raising cattle in the Bay Area. I personally raise poultry for eggs. I grew up on a ranch here and saw the reality of life, plus I have lived on ranches in Idaho. Part of my family is also California Pomo Indian, going back 10,000 years in Lake County. Before 1965, illegals were allowed to travel back and forth across our Southern Border because our state needed farm workers. My great grandfather in Concord would hire hobos every year to bring in his hay and wheat on our Willow Pass ranch. I’d like to see what a head of lettuce would cost you today if it weren’t for some illegal picking it! Grow up America!
Picking a head of lettuce is a little different than “good paying trade jobs”. But that was a prime example of democrat deflection, so thanks for that. I would never describe you as a liberal, just another crybaby progressive democrat trying to give away someone else’s stuff. So here you are, believing your own ignorance. 10,000 years huh? Lake county huh? Sounds more like 50 years cooking meth. But cool story. So what happened to your family farm on willow pass? Did your family sell it to an investor for a quick profit? Tell me about cow farts and climate change. Tell me about how the white man did you dirty and you’re owed. I know several real ranchers, you raise chickens in your backyard.
And I would consider myself fortunate.
A bit unconstitutional ehh? Taking private property, even if it is from foreign investors and for a “good cause” would set a dangerous precedent. If they could repurpose a homes for foreign investors, then why not the mom and pop landlords that rent a few units?
why dont you take some into your home…ask your mom if its ok…kay?
She can make hot pockets for all of you,Guido.
Guido,
It’s called capitalism.
i.e. Do it yourself, as opposed to relying on and having someone do it for you.
Guido is more than happy to spend your money for you.
It’s not about rental income it’s about investment income from price appreciation.
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada had problem with Canadians being priced out of the local housing market. After looking into problem their competent politicians who actually care about those who elect them enacted taxes on foreign purchasers.
Canadian government went further banning sales to foreign buyers.

I got the Primary Election booklet in the mail the other day. Most of it was the text of Proposition 1 where they want $6.4B for mental health and addiction services. The CON argument is spot on: “Now’s it’s a BAD TIME for new bonds and debt.” Good point also for a lot of things our drunken sailors in the legislature try to pass.
Any bonds I vote No…Done
I vote no on everything. Unless it’s taking away the gas tax.

At the heart of the liberal-left vision is the idea that the self-anointed saviors should be telling the rest of us, through the power of government, what we ought to do, what we can do and what we cannot do. They will define for us what is good and what is bad, remaking us in their image.

‘Boston’s progressive ‘sanctuary city’ laws allowed a Haitian man who allegedly came to America illegally to be set free despite being arrested for rape and indecent assault of a developmentally disabled person.’ …
.
“When Boston immigration officials demanded he be detained after being charged on the grounds that he is here illegally, they were denied by a district court judge. Due to the city’s sanctuary laws, ICE detainer requests are frequently ignored. In 2022 alone, Boston Police didn’t honor 100 detainer requests, according to the Boston Globe.”

An innocent man does not need immunity.
Silly. Doesn’t matter what he’s needs, it’s his right. You democrats are confused about about rights and needs as usual. We don’t need a reason for our rights. They just exist.
Uh – if it was really that simple, which it’s not.
But a man who has immunity is not guilty.

So nice to see the dominion voting machines easily hacked in a Georgia courtroom Friday. On the record, indisputable evidence, they have rigged elections for years. TRUMP WON CALIFORNIA
And he did it with the defense attorney’s own pen! Extra points for style!
The different news stories didn’t say anything about the lefty judge’s reaction. It would be pretty hard to strike such a powerful demonstration from the record, although she would have if she could have. You know, to protect democracy and such.

Cmon, democrats….try to explain THIS away.
Bunch of liars.
No…. my bad you have 9 keep watching
So it’s been demonstrated that the Dominican voting machines are easy to hack, yet the democrats claim there was no hacking.
They (democrats) continue to cover their eyes and ears; they continue to lie and redirect when faced with this evidence. Why are they afraid of the truth???????
Don’t trust democrats with money or near voting machines.

Once again Katy Grimes of CA Globe is spot on !

How about, “Make crime illegal again” in California.
“There have been numerous attempts to repeal and/or reverse Proposition 47, which was passed by tragically misinformed voters in 2014, and flagrantly titled “The Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act” by then Attorney General Kamala Harris, which reduced a host of serious felonies to misdemeanors, including drug crimes, date rape, and all thefts under $950, even for repeat offenders who steal every day.
.
Prop. 47 which also decriminalized drug possession from a felony to a misdemeanor, removed law enforcement’s ability to make an arrest in most circumstances, as well as removing judges’ ability to order drug rehabilitation programs rather than incarceration.” …
.
“Proposition 57, shamelessly titled “the Public Safety and Rehabilitation Act,” now allows nonviolent felons to qualify for early release, and parole boards can now only consider an inmate’s most recent charge, and not their entire history because of this proposition.
.
Notably, both Prop. 47 and 57 were given their ballot titles by then-Attorney General Kamala Harris.”
Well worth reading entire piece. http://tinyurl.com/mr29sykz

This mess all started with 2011 bill AB-109, DEM’s answer to a Judges ruling on CA prison overcrowding. Funny thing that, little known tactic of using The Courts to achieve goals politicians who are more concerned about elections than they are society. They get a lawsuit filed then blame “The Judge” for ordering them to do what they wanted all along.
.
AB-109 sent felons back to counties they came from and as an added bonus where felony sentences were served changed. Previously and sentence over 367 days was automatically served in state prison, no more.
There are felons serving multi year sentences in all 58 counties.
.
Shallow thinker DEMs caused jail overcrowding, their flawed band aids were Propositions which made crime worse.
.
Aren’t you getting tired of being part of liberal DEM experimentation on society ???
Oh, an by the way you also get the privileged of paying for their shallow thinker brain farts.

If there is no threat of incarceration,
there is no deterrence to criminal behavior
All these comments and Californians will still send another Democrat senator to Washington. I just hope it not lying Adam Schiff. But I’m sure most will vote for Biden
and Newsom. As a conservative Christian I would really like some representation.
SNICKERDAD,
.
Unfortunately, California’s next US Senator will be Congressman Adam Schiff. Governor Gavin Newsom isn’t on the 2024 ballot.
When you say “all these comments” it makes it seem as though you think this site is somehow actually representative of Contra Costa County. You can see in the publicly available county elections results that more than 70% of the county voted Democrat for congress in the last election.
It’s difficult for the majority to have representation when ballots have become more powerful than votes.
