If you have always believed that everyone should play by the same rules and be judged by the same standards, that would have gotten you labeled a radical 50 years ago, a liberal 25 years ago and a racist today.

In these times – and the times coming soon if Americans don’t do what is necessary – it’s best not to judge dangerously underweight women. They may be victims of Biden’s domestic and foreign policies as opposed to eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia.

Honestly, explaining Bidenflation is all too easy. It’s the cost of voting stupid on a lot of people’s part and the cost of not forbidding the Dems from installing a doddering, senile, pedophile in the White House. And, despite Biden and his overworked handlers trying to blame everyone and everything else, the staggering rise of inflation is mostly and primarily a result of disastrous leadership, and devastating tax-and-spend policies.

Bad policies matter, something that Democrats, the primary source of policies which are untenably bad for those who actively contribute to and grow the economy, don’t seem to be able to learn this. Or, since those who can be described as the Makers aren’t normally their constituencies, they don’t care. That’s why a lot of these Makers are voting with their feet.
Now, nationally it’s still a small thing, but one that has increased dramatically. Only about 2.5% of the current US population has emigrated. But that’s a little over double what it was 20 years ago. The numbers of wealth generators, i.e., actual taxpayers, who have internally migrated is far more stunning, and that’s what is actually important.

Winners
As you can see, people with wealth are leaving Blue States in very expensive droves. Well, expensive to the Leftist governments of those Democrat safezones. Loosing over $55 billion in residents’ Annual Gross Income is no small or easily coped with thing for state governments. And the numbers shown are just personal monies. It doesn’t include all the businesses moving out of Democrat-controlled zone.
And, while this is going to have very large impact on politics, the economic impact and the follow-on effects thereof are going to be more important as we move into the not too distant future. It is not unwarranted to posit that many of the Left-wing areas will go the way of Detroit, which is still on track for effective abandonment, not being able to sustain its infrastructure without the tax monies of those who fled mismanagement and a government antagonistic towards those who generate actual wealth.
Yeah, millions of Americans are voting with their feet. And, their voting against Democrats’ bad ideas and punitive policies.

Biden and Co. are, despite the facts and all normative definitions, proclaiming that America is not in a recession. Because, if you’re a Democrat, caused a huge problem for the majority of the American people, can’t or won’t fix things, and can’t convince anyone of note to believe it’s someone else’s fault, you go full-on Humpty Dumpty and “redefine” what the term recession means.
It’s just like they did with “vaccine” when their lies about the effectiveness of the COVID-19 “vaccines” were exposed. But then, it’s also just like their constituencies do with any other words that wish to, e.g., man, woman, gender, racism, sexism, misogyny, violence, and/or sexual assault.
Folks, I don’t think there’s an actual, true-born and rightly-raised American who doesn’t expect politicians and their appointees and hires to lie to us consistently. Nor do I believe that any of us even particularly care that they do so; it’s literally the core competency of their jobs. But, damn the fuck damn, is Biden and Co. ever stupid about it!

The sorts that speak for the Biden administration have cheerfully touted “record job growth.” Sadly for Americans dealing with the on-the-ground reality of the Democrats’ “new economy,” this “record job growth” is all to easily explained and it’s not good.
Yeah, various Democrat politicians misuse their authority in response to the Coronavirus pandemic and in self-serving, Trump-hating furtherance of their COVID-19 panicdemic to shutdown 43% of small businesses and caused the remainder to he businesses reported having reduced their active employment by 39%. Now, with businesses being able to reopen, of course there’s record job growth, not that we’ve reached pre-panicdemic levels of labor participation.
Yeah, “record job growth” my ass. It might be technically true, but it’s a lie to say it’s anything more than what it is.
