Now that so many businesses are fleeing crime-ridden Chicago, including grocery stores, the city’s new Mayor Brandon Johnson wants to open grocery stores that would be owned by the city.

And the remaining taxpayer will pay for it. So, how do you run out of other people's money faster?

Joe Biden has actually been receiving quite a bit of criticism for all the tall tales he’s told. Heck, even the Washington Post decided to catalogue Biden’s lies about his biography. In the past couple of weeks, he’s told the same bogus story about a small kitchen fire in order to empathize with victims of the Maui wildfires and Hurricane Idalia in Florida. Few can question his commitment to the lies he tells, even when they’ve been debunked, but one would think that in light of the fact that even his allies in the media are pointing out that his yarns are, at best, gross exaggerations and, at worst, complete fabrications, maybe he’d stop telling fairytales in a misguided (and frankly, offensive) attempt to demonstrate empathy.

Nope, not Joe Biden.

On Sunday, he implied to the media that he’s essentially homeless.

Unprompted, Biden approached reporters Sunday in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, after he went to Mass at St. Edmond Roman Catholic Church to say he was not on vacation.

“I have no home to go to,” said Biden, who lives at the White House on weekdays and spends most weekends in Delaware, where he has two homes.

The U.S. Secret Service has been doing work on his longtime primary residence in Wilmington, Delaware, to make it more secure “in a good way,” he said.

It has been at least a few months since he last spent a night there.

“So I have no place to go when I come to Delaware, except here, right now,” he said, speaking of his other home, in Rehoboth Beach. “I’m only here for one day.”

Could this be worse than the kitchen fire lie? It might be. As the Associated Press notes, Joe Biden literally lives in the White House and has two homes in Delaware, yet he has the audacity to say “I have no home to go to” in the wake of two disasters that have destroyed the homes and possessions of countless people.

Because Joe Biden’s primary residence is getting security upgrades and he has to slum it at his beach home on weekends instead, we’re supposed feel sorry for him?

Biden eventually clarified that he was not saying he’s homeless,

“No, I’m not homeless,” he explained. “I just have one home. I have a beautiful home. I’m down here for the day because I can’t go home home.”

Do you think any of his White House handlers have told him how tone deaf he sounds in light of the recent wildfires and hurricane? Do you think he actually cares?

I am long on record as not worrying about our guns being confiscated.. never going to happen.. Just something to make us worry..


but how about this..... we all know how much we enjoy paying tax on our cars, boats, toys of all sorts.. each and every year..

so what if your beloved reps joined to pass a yearly tax on your guns.. Now I own 9 of them so I would be truly PO..

do any of you think that could ever happen, how would you react if it did.?

I have to think it is more apt to happen than any form of confiscation I can think of.. aftr all , we pay each year to use are other stuff.. it seems not great leap to extend the taxation of everything to include our beloved firearms..

I have always wanted to write a definitive post on the gun problem. Today, I began it, and I hope to finish it today. Here is the first draft!

The Problem

We have a gun-happy society, and unfortunately, too many shooters that take the lives of many people and wound many more.
So, the problem statement is rather simple: What to do to stop the k*****g and wounding?

We have a abundance of laws on the books in every State, County and City that should help the situation, but the fact is the laws do not work. This is quite evident as the news will attest today, tomorrow and on into the future.

Many believe that by physically removing all guns, or removing some types of guns from public hands, the situation will dramatically improve. I differ strongly on quite a number of counts:
1) Removing guns from the public will make the public much more vulnerable to criminal elements;
2) The criminal is not deterred by laws, is most likely not to be found to confiscate his weapons, and is most certainly able to purchase guns on the black market, or even from friends and acquaintances. So, the threat has not been deterred at all. In fact, the public would be far more threatened than before;
3) The mentally-deficient persons that load up and go on a shooting spree might be deterred from finding a gun, since there wouldn't be any nearby. This is the principal excuse some have to confiscate our weapons. The case of mental deficiency represents the primary challenge to all of us that abhor the current situation.
4) It appears that the school system, parents, police and the medical profession collectively do not have a definitive solution to the mentally-challenged individual that grabs a gun and goes k*****g.
5) The educators do not want to be sued if they do something about their observation of a deficient student. The parents are reluctant to act on their offspring, and the police must act within their policies, which excludes many deterrent acts. The medical profession is quite reluctant to pass judgment on a person openly without extreme proof of their danger to the public, and they too, want to avoid lawsuits.
6) It is a well-known fact that over two million encounters of citizens with a criminal occur every year where the armed citizen managed to resolve the situation satisfactorily. Often, simply showing a weapon is sufficient to ward off criminals.
7) All of us are aware that calling 911 for the police is necessary in such an encounter, but one must not forget that the police are from 5 to 20 minutes away, which gives the criminal sufficient time to wreck havoc in many quite unpleasant ways from basic robbery to rape and murder. That is what the defensive weapons are owned for: to thwart the criminal before the police arrive.
8) Even partial solutions such as banning the AR-15-style of automatic weapons, and high-capacity magazines is whistling in the dark. Many of the shootings have been done with pistols, but few have been done with rifles. This is a ready-fire-aim solution. (Incidentally, I agree with banning fully-automatic weapons, pistol, carbine or rifle, from the public.)

What is very obvious indeed is that it isn't the gun that k**ls, it is the deficient person with a gun that k**ls. A gun is an inanimate object. So, the focus ought to be on prevention of such deficient people from acquiring a weapon at all, ever! It is also obvious that if criminals can use the backdoor to get a weapon, so can the deficient! He can find a way to steal it, too, or find it in the home, where parents are remiss in locking their weapons up very securely.

This appears to me to be the dilemma we are in, and sitting here in my home today I do not have a solid answer to the deficient person problem: how they are identified early enough; or what can be done to ensure they do not go on a k*****g spree with any sort of weapon, such as a gun or even a knife, machete, baseball bat or chainsaw, for instance.

What I am sure of is that I have the weapons at hand to defend myself, and so do millions of our citizens! And I am convinced that taking weapons away from the citizenry is not only contrary to the Constitution, it exposes all of us to the criminal element in a serious way, and those elements are quite aware of the eventual possibilities presented to them from unarmed homes.

If I have left out any significant elements here, I would appreciate being told!

That’s the problem , they can’t because they’re owned already .bits not that they have no balls . It’s that they have zero to offer anyone but rich people tax breaks. They v**e NO in congress for everything else. No vision for this Republic .
Other than totally get rid of democrats .
Well , that and not nary a plan comes from any of them.
They only want to skip over the political bulls**t and assume power.
And then rewrite everything in their own images.Miscreants , deplorables , insouciants .
Undereducated teaching the undereducated masses .
What can go wrong there ?
The New Republic !!
With an IQ of 20.
Combined.
A party of nothing !!!!!
A party of only tax breaks for rich people.
That is what keeps their money rolling in , sadly !

I agree about the Republicans. They need to grow a pair, push up their sleeves and get back to fixing the country. If you are going to do an impeachment inquiry then DO IT NOW. Start supenas now. Get Weiss and Garland up there. Get the National Archives to release ALL of said emails. Get the heads of the FBI, CIA, IRS and the rest of the alphabet soup to answer some questions. T***hfully. Make it fast and quick so they don't have too much time to prepare. Hold the 1*6 c*******e accountable for destroying most of all the "evidence" . They still haven't turned over the video tape of that day. But DO IT NOW
