It is past time … to stop gaslighting suffering patients'.

A new report is citing a Canadian government database showing an explosion of reproductive ailments as evidence of problems with side effects from the m**A treatments mandated by governments and businesses during the C****-** p******c.

It seems to me that the issue has gone sideways...

What happened is that a convicted felon who did not have the right to posses a gun, had one.. that means that the existing law somehow did not get enforced. what we need is not yammering about changing any laws.. but rather find the reason the current law did not work. did a clerk overlook his felon status, did a buddy or other middle man buy the gun for him, did he steal the gun..

Each time this sort of k*****g happens, we fight over new laws or not... but most times it is not anything other than existing laws were not enforced.. It is far past time to put an end to that failure.. then perhaps it will become evident what if any new regulations should be put in place..

It is very clear for many years, something just naturally has to be done.. . Enforcement or new additional laws.

Or most probable, Both.

‘Deficits which basically aren’t going to go away as far as the eye can see,’ JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon said, while warning of stagflation.
By Tom Ozimek--4/25/2024-printed off 4/30/24—epoch times
JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon has issued a grim warning for the direction of the U.S. economy, saying he sees the odds of a “soft landing” as far lower than markets are pricing in while sounding the alarm on a possible bout of 1970s’ style stagflation fueled in part by the Biden administration’s massive deficit spending.
Mr. Dimon made the remarks in an April 25 interview with The Wall Street Journal, in which he warned about Americans being lulled into a false sense of confidence because the U.S. consumer appears to be in “pretty good shape” right now, stock markets are up, jobs are plentiful, and unemployment is low at 3.8 percent.
“Don’t get lulled into a false sense of security because today looks okay, tomorrow is going to be okay,” he said. “So just try to separate the two.”
While various economic metrics have held up quite well, new data released on April 25 indicate that the U.S. economy showed signs of slowing in the first quarter as inflation pressures and higher borrowing costs associated with the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate hikes weighed on the country.
The U.S. economy expanded by 1.6 percent in the first three months of the year, down from 3.4 percent in the fourth quarter, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA).
The reading fell short of the consensus estimate of 2.5 percent, with the downside surprise sending U.S. stocks into a tailspin, sending the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunging more than 600 points after opening bell, though it later pared those losses to around 425 points down, as of the time of reporting.
Smells Like Stagflation
Mr. Dimon said he sees the current economic setup as increasingly reminiscent of the 1970s, when a mix of high inflation and sluggish growth led to stagflation, an economically toxic condition characterized by high unemployment and elevated price pressures.
“It looks a little bit more like the 1970s to me, and I point out to a lot of people, things looked pretty rosy in 1972. They were not rosy in 1973,” he said.
He said the issues that amplify the inflation risks in the stagflationary equation include “huge” fiscal deficits and monetary stimulus in the form of quantitative easing (QE), massive spending on the green economy, and a jump in military expenditures around the world at a time of geopolitical strife.
“Deficits which basically aren’t going to go away as far as the eye can see,” Mr. Dimon said. “All that puts me on the side of caution that things may not go as well as people expect. The odds of a soft landing—the market kind of prices in 70 percent—I think it’s half of that.”
Mr. Dimon’s cautionary note about the inflationary aspects of massive government spending come amid numerous warnings about America’s ballooning public debt.
Deficit spending in the United States hit $1.7 trillion in 2023, or 6.3 percent of gross domestic product (GDP), according to a recent report from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). The agency warned that deficit spending that adds to a growing pile of public debt would slow economic growth and drive up interest payments to foreign holders of U.S. debt.
Over the next 30 years, U.S. deficit spending is expected to grow to 8.5 percent of GDP by 2054, according to CBO estimates. The agency also projects that America’s debt-to-GDP ratio, which in the 1980s was around 35 percent of GDP, will balloon to 166 percent by 2054, posing “significant risks” to America’s fiscal and economic outlook.
Treasury Department data released earlier in April show that the U.S. budget deficit topped $1 trillion in the first six months of fiscal year 2024, putting the federal government on track to notch its fifth consecutive trillion-dollar-plus budget gap.
Looming Debt Cliff?
Mr. Dimon earlier warned that America’s debt-to-GDP ratio would “hockey stick” upward at some point, meaning rise sharply after a period of relatively gradual increase. He described this moment as a market “r*******n”-type reckoning that could involve a sudden deepening of the debt crisis as investors lose confidence in the government’s ability to service its debts and sell off U.S. Treasurys.
The point at which America’s public debt becomes unsustainable is fast approaching, Mr. Dimon warned.
“It is a cliff. We see the cliff. It’s about 10 years out. We’re going 60 miles an hour,” he said, speaking on a panel at the Bipartisan Policy Center in Washington at the end of January 2024.
Republicans have repeatedly expressed opposition to the Biden administration’s high deficit spending, issuing similar warnings about debt sustainability and a catastrophic market reckoning.
President Joe Biden has defended his spending plans while criticizing the GOP for pushing budget cuts and trying to pin the blame for catapulting the public debt to over $34 trillion on President Donald Trump’s tax cuts.
During his April 25 interview with The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Dimon was asked for his thoughts on whether “Bidenomics” was working.
“Partially,” he replied. “When you spend that kind of money, you’re going to have growth,” he continued, adding that he supports some of the administration’s moves on industrial policy and infrastructure.
However, he said that many Americans might not experience the benefits, while cautioning that massive government spending is inflationary.
In a similar vein, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) recently sounded the alarm on the Biden administration’s high deficit spending, warning that America’s ballooning public debt threaten to stoke inflation and even trigger financial chaos.
Analysts at the University of Pennsylvania estimate that when America’s debt-to-GDP ratio hits around 200 percent, it will hit the point of no return—when no amount of future tax increases or spending cuts could prevent the government from defaulting on its debt.

The DNC’s Gathering Storm in Chicago A repeat of the 1968 convention disaster looms.
Jeffrey Lord

A repeat of the 1968 convention disaster looms.

The legendary British Prime Minister Winston Churchill titled the first volume of his World War II memoirs The Gathering Storm. In it he recounted the buildup of events that finally exploded into the war.

For those around in the year that was 1968, the thought is inevitable: “Here we go again.” Hop in the time travel capsule and journey back to the political Gathering Storm of 1968.

A personal memory. In July of 1968, I was a young page at the Republican National Convention on Miami Beach. It was my first time at one of these quadrennial political circuses, and it was fascinating to watch one of these closeup and see how the machinery of formally nominating someone for president worked.

In that case, the GOP nominee, not unlike today, was inevitable going into the convention. The winner of the primaries was clear — former Vice President Richard Nixon. The convention had drawn a decidedly small but decidedly peaceful protest, but since Republicans didn’t hold the White House, the protest was small and barely drew any attention. The GOP was unified, and the nation watched on TV as the convention went peacefully about its task of nominating Nixon and his chosen running mate, Maryland Gov. Spiro Agnew.

Then it was the Democrats’ turn.

Gathering a month later in mid-August, the Democrats had selected Chicago as their convention city. There were the usual political reasons for selecting Chicago: The Democrat nominee needed to carry Illinois in the fall e******n, and one of the central players needed to accomplish this was the boss of the Chicago Democrat machine — Chicago Mayor Richard Daley.

But there was an unrecognized fly in the political convention ointment.

By 1968, incumbent Democrat President Lyndon Johnson’s conduct of the Vietnam War had become a major issue inside the Democrat Party. LBJ was so controversial that he had been challenged for renomination by Minnesota Sen. Eugene McCarthy, who was eventually joined by New York Sen. Robert F. Kennedy (father of today’s RFK Jr.)

By March 30, LBJ was so besieged by McCarthy, Kennedy, and their youthful anti-war legions that he shocked the political world by withdrawing from the race. He was replaced as the party Establishment favorite by his vice president, longtime party lion Hubert Humphrey.

Then, the night of the California Democratic primary, primary winner Kennedy was shockingly assassinated moments after accepting his victory.

Suffice to say, by the time Democrats gathered in Chicago to nominate Humphrey, the Gathering Storm of 1968 had arrived.

The city erupted into a r**t, with far-l*****t anti-war demonstrators on one side and the Chicago police on the other. All of this was captured live and in color on television.

In the aftermath, an investigation of what had quickly emerged as a massive disaster for Democrats was held, headed by former Illinois Gov. Dan Walker, a Democrat. The Walker Report, as it quickly came to known, reported this in its summary:

During the week of the Democratic National Convention, the Chicago police were the targets of mounting provocation by both word and act. It took the form of obscene epithets, and of rocks, sticks, bathroom titles, and even human feces hurled at police by demonstrators. Some of these acts had been planned; others were spontaneous or were themselves provoked by police action.

The police fought back. What was called a “police r**t” was the response.

There was more — so much more. The report, as described by Chicago68.com, had “over 20,000 pages of statements from 3,437 eyewitnesses and participants, 180 hours of film, and over 12,000 still photographs.”

Taken together, between the r**ting of the l*****t anti-war protesters and the iron-fisted response of the police, the Democrats — and nominee Humphrey — simply could not recover from this televised chaos that was brought about, without doubt, by the thousands of youthful anti-war protesters — and the response that came from the Chicago police.

Moving ahead to today?

The 2024 Democrats will gather from Aug. 19 through Aug. 22 in Chicago’s United Center — by pure coincidence in the same city as 1968’s convention. There they will renominate President Joe Biden, who is not at all unlike 1968’s Humphrey: the party Establishment’s favorite.

And, just as in 1968, there is, to say the least, internal turmoil in the 2024 Democratic Party as it prepares to gather for its nominating convention in Chicago.

Watching the repeated chaos swarming America’s elite universities as far-l*****t anti-Israel protesters turn law and order inside out and upside down is to see a vivid reminder of what happened at the 1968 Chicago DNC, a long 56 years ago.

The “cause” was Vietnam in 1968. In 2024, the cause is hatred of Israel and Jews, a decidedly d******e issue in a political party whose history includes Democrat President Harry Truman’s being the first to recognize the creation of the state of Israel when it took place in his administration in 1948.

With all that is unfolding on these elite university campuses, it takes no imagination to envision these protesters swarming Chicago in August as the convention delegates gather. Indeed, it takes no imagination to see that inside the convention hall, there could easily be delegates who have been involved in these protests and are all too willing to raise un-shirted double-L on the convention floor itself as the howl goes up about “Genocide Joe.”

All of which is to say that the nation is engulfed in far-l*****t protests right this minute on the campuses of America’s seriously left-leaning universities.

It takes no imagination to see more of the same turning the 2024 Democratic National Convention into exactly the same kind of r**tous chaos that faced the 1968 Democratic National Convention. And — irony of ironies — all of it is taking place in the very same location: Chicago.

Note to Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson — today’s successor to 1968’s Chicago Mayor Richard Daley: There is a Gathering Storm headed Chicago’s way.

Buckle in.
