You've never lived on a farm have you?

By this November 5, a high e*******l price from the Democrats may be called in due to a fractured American economy. In the runup, there are several negative economic indicators flashing red -- factors soon to converge in force, each one predicated on Biden’s incompetence. His economic climate tells against the erstwhile middle class, or the legally v****g ‘majority,’ and its prosperity.

The collective, negative impact of Biden’s combined and often unilateral federal actions, the upshots of bad policies and mismanagement, suggests that we will soon have a new, expanded class of ‘the poor’ in the United States -- an historical phenomenon that has eventually manifested itself in every country subsequent to c*******t/socialist takeover.

Biden’s policies and directives are coalescing and advancing in a hushed, cumulative economic effect very quickly. Many may soon find themselves squarely placed in a traditionally avoided no-man’s land, as the newly poor, separate from the middle class, or the working poor, or the subsidized/welfare poor.

Many do not perceive misfortune as exactly closing in. Why not? Because the suffering is in development, because we were stunned by the C***D years into thinking the bad stuff was just temporary, and because, in waiting for the 2024 e******n, we are not clocking on current daily survival threats as we might otherwise. And because the federal bureaucracy and its media enablers are flat-out lying about the economy and have been since 2020. Humpty-dumpty is still, sort of, sitting on the wall, but he is slipping, and soon he may fall.

When the Great Depression hit, we had joblessness on a scale never seen before in the U.S. Were it not for the federal ‘cover’ of FDR’s fixes, which now have graduated to over several trillion dollars expended annually on a slew of federal subsidies, entitlements, social welfare, and government salaries and benefits, we would already have much more visible poverty in the U.S. Notwithstanding, the new poverty is advancing, very comprehensively and rapidly, since Biden’s p**********l victory in 2020. His ‘administration’ has worked diligently to unravel our prosperous majority from day one.

To get a handle on the gravity of what may be coming in the next six months, look at what Biden is doing to grab economic control across the board: energy prices are driven up because of his tinkering with energy supplies and restrictive energy policies. Unemployment figures are r****d downwards to reflect part-time and/or seasonal/immigrant jobs as full time. Interest rate increases are ‘explained’ by the feds as cautionary but appear now semi-permanent. Huge costs are accruing in ‘supporting’ i*****l i*******ts, in student loan forgiveness, in piles of new regulatory costs (legal or not), in tax increases on the middle class, in federal land and natural resource grabs, and in crippling regulatory restrictions on farming, energy, t***sportation, and, of course, in the costs of war.

Additionally, Biden’s federal underwriting of business/corporate production costs related to his ubiquitous and dubious ‘c*****e c****e’ fixes are economic disincentives -- as well as a disgrace for independent enterprise.

In a further cost complication, Biden’s serial infrastructure and equipment (see EVs, solar grids) fails are themselves coming at great expense to consumers. Supply-chain restrictions consequent to infrastructure fails drive up consumer costs. Serial emergencies in our infrastructure’s ‘accidents’ and incompetencies are driving the bills way up -- Baltimore city reported in March that the Francis Scott Key bridge collapse could run up to, for the city alone, a whopping $9 M per day.

As this bigger costs picture emerges more clearly in the coming months, the implications of the shocking damage to American productivity and standing in energy, agriculture and t***sportation will not be lost on the ‘average v**er.’

Even now, the economic facts are available to those who are willing to dig for them:

Both rental and mortgage costs are now unaffordable. People are not grocery shopping as their needs dictate, because the prices of all food products are inflated by 40%. Rent prices are now 30% higher than they were before the p******c.

Those Americans with, say, four-five year set mortgage interest rates (now already unaffordable due to related housing costs such as rising insurance) at pre-p******c levels, may be losing their original rates by 4-7 percentage point increases, at least, in 2024 and 2025.

The huge growth of the homeless population -- while affected of course drastically by i*****l i*********n -- is yet another indicator of economic collapse. “Rising rents and low housing inventory spur an unprecedented level of homelessness in America”

Older adults are being increasingly driven into poverty.

According to the latest data from the U.S. Census Bureau, 14.1% of adults aged 65 and older lived in poverty, as defined by the Supplemental Poverty Measure, compared with 9.5% in 2020. That's about a 50% jump in just three years, meaning roughly 8 million older adults now live in poverty.

Biden continues to lie about the economic circumstances of our country, and we have no reason to believe he will change:

President Joe Biden defended his handling of the economy hours after a key economic report found that progress on slowing inflation has stalled, a continued bane on Biden’s presidency.

US consumer prices picked up again last month, marking a 3.5% increase for the 12 months ended in March, according to the latest Consumer Price Index data released Wednesday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Inflation has dogged the president and his approval ratings on the economy have suffered as prices have soared following the easing of the C****-** p******c.

Biden pointed to success “dramatically” reducing the rate of inflation from 9% to 3% as he sought to convince Americans that “we’re better situated than we were when we took office, where inflation was skyrocketing.”

Inflation, however, began to rise in 2021 -- Biden’s first year as president -- as normalcy began to return to American life following the worst parts of the p******c. It peaked in June 2022 as the rate of inflation reached 9.1%.

Ruling-class Democrats talk the talk about sharing the wealth, but their own elitism and f**grant double standards, e.g. in extravagant life styles and stock-market shenanigans, tell a different tale. The elite’s lion’s share of our national wealth has gone from grown even more bloated under Biden:

“In the third quarter of 2023, 66.9 percent of the total wealth in the United States was owned by the top 10 percent of earners. In comparison, the lowest 50 percent of earners only owned 2.5 percent of the total wealth.”

Americans may take note of these disparities.

At the least, we can probably expect that, by November, American v**ers will be ready enough to weigh in -- if only on the strength of their wallets.

Albert Einstein allegedly said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

But without validation, he was just a super-smart guy making an educated guess about scientific repeatability and human mental stability. Fortunately, his postulation is moving from “theoretical” to “proven,” via testing provided by the Democrat party.

The Dems came up with a surefire battle plan to prevent Donald Trump from returning to the Oval Office. Just prosecute him for something — it didn’t matter what. The Donald would become “damaged goods,” and v**er outrage would prevent a return of mean tweets to the office that comes with an armed entourage and a big blue airplane. It should have been foolproof. But as engineers say: “One should never underestimate the ability of fools to screw things up.”

In the spring of 2023, Trump was surging ahead of his Republican rivals and was dangerously close to President “Return to Normalcy” in polling. He was becoming a serious threat. It was time to load the boats and storm the beach.

The attack led off with Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg, who indicted Trump for improperly accounting for contractual expenses during the commission of a crime. Bragg claims that Trump stole the 2016 e******n (the crime) by incorrectly documenting payments to his lawyer in 2017 (the method). No, that is not a typo. Bragg claims that Trump s***e the e******n by doing something illegal a year after the e******n. Hopefully, a TDS-afflicted jury can help him with that little time warp thingy.

But Donald Trump surged in the polls after the indictment. “Surefire” was starting to look like “backfire.” The Dems were shocked. It never occurred to them that making him a victim, might create sympathy rather than disgust. But an empty suit from behind the Resolute Desk reassured them: Ignore the malarkey. I’ve come up with an ingenious plan. Let’s do it again! Call up George (Soros) and have his gal down in Atlanta start earning her campaign money.

A call to action was placed to Fulton County, where District Attorney Fani Willis launched the southern prong of the attack. [Aside: Doesn’t Fani have the most appropriate name ever for someone about to take a spanking for the Dems?] She indicted Trump for pulling a “Stacey” — Abrams, that is. The Donald claimed that he’d won the e******n in Georgia, even though it was certified for Biden. That’s not a crime, but what the heck — the judge is a Fani-supporter. Maybe Fani — and the judge covering her fanny — can keep the jury entertained long enough to slip past them the fact that no crime was committed. Besides, a conviction isn’t necessary. Fani just needs to make v**ers disillusioned with the guy who gave them prosperity and security. She even got the first ever mug shot of The Donald. But what was intended to taint his image turned out to be a MAGA fundraising bonanza.

Dang if the Donald’s polling didn’t go up again. Oh well — if at first you don’t succeed...yada, yada, yada. The White House fired off a message to Merrick Garland (call sign “Wingman”) to put someone competent in command and get it right this time.

“Wingman” appointed Jack Smith for the mission. Smitty kicked the operation into high gear, using all the resources of the federal government. He had Trump’s home raided by the FBI, during primetime coverage, with the cameras rolling. It was all scripted to paint The Donald as the grifter every self-righteous l*****t with g****r confusion believes he is. Then he indicted Trump in Florida for having the classified documents that the P**********l Records Act says he can have. But damn if Trump’s polling didn’t go up again. Not to worry. Smitty was just getting started.

Smitty also indicted the Donald in Washington, where a TDS-afflicted jury is a brain-dead certainty. He charged The Donald with obstructing an official congressional proceeding, by giving his MAGA followers the code words “protest peacefully.” Unfortunately, The Donald’s MAGA minions forgot to pull the “just kidding switch” (i.e., the fire alarm) before interrupting Congress, so they and their MAGA leader are guilty of MAGA i**********n until proven innocent.

But The Donald’s polling went up again. Maybe there’s a greater time lag between court filing and news cycle than the Dems had factored in. They’ve been wrestling with that messaging problem for years.

Along the way, the Dems augmented their criminal attack with a civil flanking maneuver. Advice columnist E. Jean Carroll claimed that Trump had raped her some years previously — in a crowded department store. Though she couldn’t remember the exact year it happened, the event is seared into her memory. But Trump called her a liar — so a TDS-afflicted jury ordered him to pay her over 80 million bucks, for damaging her reputation more than she already had.

New York attorney general Letitia James also sued Trump, insisting he applied for loans while claiming his real estate holdings were more valuable than her expert estimate. A TDS-afflicted judge awarded the state almost a half a billion bucks, for not actually hurting anyone. Letitia immediately began the paperwork to seize Trump properties. Then The Donald’s polling rocketed into the stratosphere.

Now we’re one year into the Democrat foolproof plan to keep Trump from winning the e******n. The Donald has vanquished his Republican challengers. He is outpolling Biden in all the swing states, and his first trial has begun in Manhattan. Knowing that the trial is about politics rather than justice, Judge Juan Merchan ordered The Donald to remain in New York for the entirety of the campaign trial. But Trump just started campaigning in New York City instead. Now small donor contributions are rolling in, and throngs of cheering N.Y. construction workers may become the defining photo of the campaign. If he doesn’t flip New York in November, it won’t be for lack of trying.

Polling since the trial began isn’t available yet, but the only thing that could help The Donald more than another indictment would be if the judge actually incarcerated him. Merchan is currently entertaining contempt charges against Trump — for publicly claiming that his political persecution is political persecution. MAGA Ts with a photo of The Donald in an orange jumpsuit are still a possibility. The Donald could sell them as a set with his mug shot mugs.

After all the attacks on Trump, here’s where the campaign stands:

• Trump is riding high in the polls;
• The legal system has less credibility than CNN;
• His supporters are more enthusiastic than Green Bay Packers fans on a sub-zero Sunday;
• Former critics like Bill Barr are admitting that democracy is being threatened, but not by the Donald; and
• As the cold sweat stage of the Biden/Harris campaign commences, the Dems are frantically looking for something else to charge The Donald with (perhaps in Arizona) — expecting a different result.

Now we know: Doing something (Bragg attack) over (Willis attack) and over (Smith attack) and over (James attack) again actually produces the same result (MAGA growth). Further, those expecting otherwise (Democrats) are totally bat-s**t crazy.

Oh I see... here's where you say good for thee but not for me.

I'm not talking about Trump Mr I can't answer so I'll deflect. I'm talking about YOU and the fact that you can't admit that YOU are a sinner in need of a savior.

At almost 89 years old, Eva Edl faces up to 11 years in prison and a $350,000 fine for the “crime” of peacefully praying and protesting outside an a******n clinic. Edl recently shared her story of surviving a C*******t death camp in Yugoslavia as a child and later becoming a pro-life activist after coming to the United States. Edl related, “When I was indicted, I began to prepare to die there. Right now, I am ambivalent…There’s no guarantee that I survive it.”

She further stated, “I feel very strongly, because of my background, that human life is sacred. Government does not have the authority to permit what God forbids. And murder is forbidden by God.”

Why don't you check with one of your "fact-checkers" instead of "I think".

ELAH VALLEY — A young boy named David has found himself under intense scrutiny and condemnation for his alleged violence against a kindly Palestinian giant named Goliath. Those critical of the young boy's action call this yet another tragic case of disproportionate force and cultural insensitivity.

"It's a clear case of bigotry and attempted genocide," declared activist Ehud as they held a candlelight vigil for Goliath outside the battlefield. "David had the audacity to use a slingshot against a giant armed only with his faith and a kind soul. David's actions are nothing short of barbaric."

Critics of David's actions argue that he should have pursued more peaceful methods of conflict resolution, such as dialogue or complete and utter surrender. "There were plenty of opportunities for mediation, conflict de-escalation, and letting the Philistines slaughter every Israelite," insisted local man Gehazi. "Instead, David chose violence, perpetuating harmful stereotypes about giants being inherently aggressive."

Schools across the world saw protests break out as students condemned David and called for the destruction of Israel. "David needs to be held accountable for how his actions have negatively impacted this gentle, peace-loving community of Philistines," said Ehud. "Though a person of size, we must acknowledge Goliath's lived experience as a marginalized individual. Also, we need to destroy Israel."

Meanwhile, David has reportedly gone into hiding, fearing for his safety amidst the wave of backlash. "I was just defending my family and my sheep," he mumbled nervously, adjusting his slingshot. "Does no one get that they were going to k**l the men and rape the women? No one?"

At publishing time, Goliath's descendants have reportedly hired a team of lawyers to explore their legal options demanding r********ns, including modest terms like "Destroy Israel."

I believe the thread was titled "This Will Be My Final Thread On This Site" by bdamage. It generated eight "pages" of threads and I think that a new post happens on it every so often still today.

Can’t claim, "I am a sinner in need of a savior," can you? Is it because you think that it’s beneath you?

Then why don't you point to yourself instead of pointing to me. I KNOW that I'm a sinner in need of a savior. Can you claim, "I am a sinner in need of a savior?"

Why was it mandated?

Why not you? Are you sinless?

H**e to break it to you...

What would you expect with the quality of intelligence of most kids on college campuses today who have been indoctrinated in the l*****t way since kindergarten?
