TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT IN 2024!
.
Things*were*better*under*Trump
Sadly, things were better under every other President in the history of the United States, even better than under little o. I hope we can overcome the fix that is in.
Unless one of those things was job creation. At this point in his presidency Trump had created 5,808,000 jobs. Biden has created 13,954,000.
Source is Bureau of Labor Statistics. Simple numbers. Biden is much, much better at creating jobs.
I love when chuq shows up. You’re right chuq, biden is a confidence building, job creating machine. Inflation is right wing propaganda as is homelessness, drugs and crime. Everything is better with biden. Don’t worry he will definitely be re-elected.
Have you seen the comment that grewsom made about inflation? He said it isn’t as bad as people are saying. Next he will be saying he wore a mask at the French Laundry, we just couldn’t see it. 🤣
@Chuq
Yep, Biden is just the darn best job creator that there ever was. And why shouldn’t he be? He had all that extra time to fill since he stopped taking inappropriate showers with his daughter.
Trump created over 5 million jobs,Biden ended 20 million jobs and brought back 13 million?That’s not an accomplishment.
Ya can’t count jobs created when it’s just recovery of existing jobs from covid.
But statistics was never your strong point.
I mean it’s odd that you never learned basic addition and subtraction but:
When Trump took office, the U.S. had 145.6 million nonfarm jobs (per Bureau of Labor Statistics). When Biden took office the U.S. had 143 million nonfarm jobs. In 30 months we have risen to 156.2 million. If you want to subtract the difference between what they started with (because you want your candidate to have special treatment), you could subtract 2.6 million jobs to give them an even starting point. That still leaves Biden with creating twice as many jobs in the same amount of time.
When have we had liberalism in the last 30 years? We had neoliberalism which is akin to fascism. Joe wants to turn the US into New Venezuela. Frankly I think it’s better if the whole thing crashes and we start over again.
If only our county voted like Claycord we would have it made
Ricardo, the problem why our country doesn’t vote like Claycord is because too many people don’t or can’t read. Able to read but doesn’t bother to read, or just can’t read? Either way–
Have you ever watched the street interviews of random people being ask history or current political questions? Their answers are so far out you have to wonder if they know what day it is.
@Ricardoh
Yes, I’ve seen a lot of those interviews…..most didn’t know who fought in the Civil War, and yet these people get to vote. As “Max” said, people don’t read or can’t read, which I believe is why we’ve ended up with Prop 47 (Safe Schools Act, my ass).
If only our county voted like Claycord we would have it made
Biden has done NOTHING and for you to think he has had any part in anything he says he does kinda shows the mentality of liberals in general.
Biden is a Bic lighter.Completely disposable.

DEI can only succeed if accompanied by excellence and merit.
The best method of improving those odds begins with a quality home life and quality education.
Perhaps it’s time to focus on the root causes of excellence and merit.
Biden’s and the left’s’ madness continues. The cop who held George Floyd, as Floyd died of fentynal and other drugs and a bad heart, was stabbed in prison. The second time he was attacked in prison.
This was their way of sending the message that he better stop with the appeals. Basically giving him a choice between dead tomorrow or doing his time. Not very subtle, but probably quite effective.
The BBC reported on Friday that 650,000 Ukrainian men of conscription age have migrated to European Union nations due to Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine. These numbers are based on data from Eurostat.
If they don’t care why should we. Evidently the country isn’t worth fighting for. A couple thousand I can understand but not when 650,000 escape.

There is a report that car model had a sticky throttle problem and that the driver was on the brakes to no avail. As far as that car flew it had to be going over a hundred MPHs.

While you weren’t paying attention in 2022, DEM super majority controlled, state legislature passed a bill requiring water suppliers restrict your water usage.
.
“…SB 1147 requires California’s water agencies to limit residential indoor water use to 47 gallons per person per day starting in 2025 and 42 gallons in 2030.”

Want this type of shallow thinker knee jerk stupidity to stop ? ? ? ? ?
STOP electing DEMs ! ! ! ! !
Control freaks. Probably won’t have any beneficial effect. Probably because half the population of California will be gone by 2030 or sooner.
Just wait until they say you can’t have a 6 bedroom house and if you don’t use those other bedrooms you have to rent them out.
Unused bedrooms . . . . .
Wouldn’t be surprised if DEMs ordered unused bedrooms be used to house illegals, an invading occupying force, owners would be required to provide for them.
.
State legislature will pass such a bill and it will be called
The Quartering Act, just as it was on March 24, 1765.
Part of UN Agenda 2030 I think. The BBC did a show several years ago called “Years and Years” more or less dramatizing what was going to happen to society with these agendas including making the family house some immigrants with their spare rooms.
The last few evenings I rewatched the 2013 BBC original “Utopia” and it’s second season both on Blu-ray. It was very popular back then and those shows were uploaded to YouTube since it wasn’t shown stateside. You can find it a number of places and yes the whole season is still on YouTube. It’s also on Amazon (along with the Amazon remake) but it’s Pan and Scan which I suspect HBO did that because HBO was going to do a remake using David Fincher directing but Fincher wanted to do it in sequence which would have cost too much. HBO was always stretching “scope” shows up to fill the screen. That a travesty with this show because it has beautiful widescreen composition some scene looking like paintings. And how many shows on IMDB get 8/10 ratings with thousands of ratings?
Amazon did the remake with another director but it’s not as good as the BBC version. Back in 2013-14 we thought it was just a great sci-fi series but now after the pandemic something different and amazingly prophetic.

For several years now, Democrats in Sacramento have considered introducing legislation to make voting mandatory or face a fine. If you didn’t want to vote you’d be required to turn in a blank ballot to avoid being fined.
.
This is why California needs a part-time legislature, because these elected legislators have way to much time on their hands to come up with stupid and unnecessary laws.
The current standard in California for indoor water use is 55 gallons per person per day.
The average human uses 110 gallons per day,

FOUR events that DESTROYED my

FOREVER!!!
1. September 11
2. Hillary not going to prison
3. COVID 19
4.2020 election
6. Kennedy assignation
What happened to 5?
I goofed, saw the 5 thumbs up and thought it was a answer.
Kennedy was a raving liberal,its why they killed him.He would have done way more damage than good.
Newsom claims inflation is simply a rumor perpetuated by conservatives.
He might as well have said, “Pay no attention to your bank balance and your grocery and energy bills, because what I tell you is the real truth”.
The Wizard of Oz was certainly prophetic: “Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain”.
Like I said, with at least half of the population being morons, there will never be another Republican president UNLESS they support abortion for those inconvenient fetuses (beyond cases of rape and incest). Liberals love to kill inconvenient fetuses while honoring criminal scum like Saint Floyd. May Karma find its way into their homes.

@ORIGINAL G….And in 1971 when Tricky Dick was POTUS at the new Mickey D’s on Clayton Rd. a cheeseburger meal was $1.28.

People need to learn to actually cook again. I can make that Burger Mac meal at home for about $6, max, with much better ingredients….just sayin’

Was sad to witness lack of awareness in younger generation regarding financial matters especially retirement savings. In morning Safety meetings a new hire would show up with an expensive bought coffee. Asked him how much it cost him, then how many he bought per week and what that cost was. Asked him to multiply cost per week by four (month), then multiply by twelve (year), about then light bulb came on and color drained from his face when realization of what his coffee habit cost him per year.
.
Suggested he make a list of spending in round dollars for a week to see where his money was going.
Made up an 11×17 sheet demonstrating effect of compounding on retirement savings, gave them out to new employees. Showed two people both same age, first person put $2,000 per year in retirement account and did so for 12 years then stopped contributions. Second person began contributing to retirement account year first person stopped, and continued contributions each year until retirement. Both experienced same interest rate on savings and both retired at same time with roughly equal amounts in their retirement accounts.
.
ME FIRST generations conditioned to use a plastic card to satisfy their every whim upon retirement are in for a rude awakening.
.
Prior to graduating high school kids need to be thinking about their financial future, savings cushion and retirement. Would not be surprised to learn high schools don’t teach kids about financial planning given the number of people encountered during 45 years working who couldn’t explain difference between compound and simple interest.

The document and the amount spent by DeSantis and his allies are previously unreported.

For that money, DeSantis and supporting groups got three pages of advertisements in a booklet distributed at the July forum attended by 2,000 Christian conservatives, and tickets to the summit, lunch and an after-dinner event.”

And the wife, Bridget Ziegler, is the co-founder of Moms For Liberty, an organization that treats LGBTQ people, especially Trans people, like they are sexual predators.
They were in a bisexual threesome relationship and the husband is accused of sexually predator behavior.
