Last night I voted by mail in California's Republican primary. I read through all the down-ballot peoples' statements. At least 75% of them wanted more "green energy," expensive trains to nowhere, condensed high-rise housing, unlimited abortion, etc. They all sounded like liberals. One example from the first page I just opened to: someone named Marc Berman (who is already in office now) said, "MAGA extremists are threatening our rights, our democracy, and our planet. I'm fighting back. As the only candidate endorsed by Planned Parenthood, I will always protect abortion access. I authorized landmark legislation to ban the sale of new gas-powered leaf blowers and lawnmowers, dramatically reducing air pollution. . . And I wrote the law to make California a permanent vote-by-mail state." These are the kinds of choices we have here as Republicans! Upon re-reading this, it appears that he is a Democrat. Don't know why he is included in the Republican primary. Upon re-reading this, it appears that he is a Democrat. Don't know why he is included in the Republican primary. I have yet to figure out why democrats are allowed to vote in a republican primary? Back before World War II, there were multiple small, regional conflicts that had developed. Eventually they merged. And that is exactly what is developing now, according to an expert on international events, and Joe Biden is allowing it. “Biden has opened the floodgates of Hell. Although nothing is inevitable, we are fast approaching the point where, as a practical matter, he will not be able to stop China and Russia, directly and through proxies, from merging existing conflicts and turning them into the next global war,” charged Gordon Chang, an expert on China, in a column at The Gatestone Institute. He pointed out that, “Biden’s foreign policy has collapsed. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan effectively admitted that to CNN’s Dana Bash on February 4.” Then she listed conflict locations and said, “My colleague Peter Bergen smartly pointed out that this conflict involves 10 countries, at least four major terrorist groups, so isn’t this already a regional conflict?” Sullivan responded, “Well, Dana, what I would say is that these are distinct but related challenges. … For example, what’s happening in the Red Sea is obviously to a certain extent triggered by what’s happening in Gaza, but it’s not the same thing. The Houthis aren’t just hitting ships related to Israel; they’re hitting a lot of different ships from a lot of different countries. . . . The sequence has been: “Biden’s Afghanistan debacle of August 2021 was quickly followed by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, by China’s and Russia’s fueling insurgencies in North Africa, and by Iran’s attacks on Israel from Gaza and the Golan Heights.” He noted Jonathan Bass, of InfraGlobal Partners, charged, “Blood now soaks the soil of three continents. More will be spilled. Aggressors are now on killing sprees.” Chang said Biden’s policies are failing because Biden believes it is possible to integrate “virtually all nations into the rules-based international system.” https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/02/warning-sounded-biden-has-opened-floodgates-hell/ The Pentagon announced Sunday evening that Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin transferred power to Deputy Secretary Kathleen Hicks hours after being hospitalized Sunday afternoon with suspected bladder issues. The Pentagon had initially said Austin was retaining the powers of SecDef in an earlier statement. Austin was taken to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland on Sunday by his security detail. Austin is suffering complications from surgery for prostate cancer. . . . President Joe Biden’s jobs record is built on the record hiring of 2.9 million job-seeking migrants — and a persistent 183,000 deficit in the number of Americans with jobs compared to 2019, according to a report by the Center for Immigration Studies. “The number of U.S.-born Americans working [has grown yet] has still not returned to the 2019 pre-Covid level,” he added. The data does not say that American job-seekers are being unfairly pushed aside while employers only hire migrants for new jobs. Instead, the data showed that all of Biden’s extra jobs above the 2019 level are held by his migrants — even as U.S.-born workers have not regained all their jobs held in 2019. There are roughly five million working-age American men who could be hired for the extra jobs in the economy, Camarota told Breitbart News. Employers prefer not to hire them because they are sidelined in jobless towns, or by drug addiction, ill-health, criminal records, apathy, and alienation. Government policies generally ignore those sidelined Americans. For example, the 5 million discarded Americans are not counted as unemployed because they have not looked for jobs in the last month. Instead, they are described by government officials are not participating in the labor force. The government policies also allow investors to profit by creating low-productivity jobs for eager migrants that could not be profitable if employers had to pay decent wages to Americans. This growth-by-poverty strategy is especially clear in the major coastal cities — such as New York. The strategy is backed by the Democratic Party because government workers also can profit by delivering aid and welfare to the underpaid migrants. Since 1990, the government’s vast inflow of migrants has created a bubble of cheap labor for extra low-productivity jobs in coastland states. That inflow allows government officials to display high job-creation numbers while concealing the massive transfer of high-productivity jobs to China, Mexico, India, and other countries. The official report reinforces the vast evidence that the federal policy of Extraction Migration shifts family wages and workplace investment toward Wall Street, real estate, coastal states, and government. The economic policy also diverts politicians’ focus away from American communities and the “Deaths of Despair” that are dragging down the average age of American deaths. https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2024/02/13/report-bidens-job-growth-built-on-illegal-migration/ Judge Arthur Engoron fined former Donald Trump and the Trump Organization on Friday in civil a fraud case for more than $350 million and barred him from serving as an officer or director of any New York corporation for three years. New York Attorney General Letitia James sought to essentially bankrupt Trump by calling for a $370 million fine and a lifetime of from the real estate industry in New York State. James claimed Trump committed financial fraud. Trump plans to appeal the ruling. “This is a case that should have never been brought, and I think we should be entitled to damages,” Trump said during closing arguments. Constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley called the ruling “confiscatory, extreme, and abusive.”
