How the hell did America get to be so fucking stupid?? — The Nasty Italian🍷🇺🇸 🇮🇹 (@sayitnspinit) May 19, 2022
My Twitter pal above at this post’s header is bluntly asking the right question that we all should be demanding answers to … and not just of those running the country but of ourselves for allowing it all to happen and continue. With the midterm elections just less than six months away strapped and exhausted Americans had better pay attention to this nation’s state of affairs at every level and wisely choose the correct answer(s) on their multiple-choice ballots to stop the insanity.

“Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit upon his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.” – H.L. Mencken
Well, H.L., America must seriously and immediately look in the mirror and ask itself, as Americans (now designated ‘domestic terrorists’ for even criticizing this Brandon and his administration) complain and bitch and moan about the destruction of our nation on every front, how long will simply electing this person and that person out and into seats of power stave off our total annihilation? If we do not take control and right this sinking titanic very soon it will require major surgery to eradicate this Marxist cancer. We have tolerated them and their bullshit for the better part of a century in this nation/society … “free speech” and all. They have absolutely no intentions or plans for tolerating us or our “free speech”, Bill of Rights, and/or resistance to them and their master plan for us and these United States of America. I’m not actually promoting violence, but it is indeed what the prescient Founding Fathers feared for our future (quite wise to how “Absolute power corrupts absolutely”) as they wrote and added (THANK GOD!) that Second Amendment to our Bill of Rights in the US Constitution. The current state of federal government afaier has the majority of Americans recognizing and acknowledging this government is no longer governing with the consent of the governed.
From the TUS boss in our present text convo:
You know, you and I have fought the good fight for decades, even me making that one big mistake in ‘92. I can’t help to feel a little responsible for this mess, but I know it’s not us. It’s all the stupid people out there who fucked it all up for everybody else. Stupid mindless simpering assholes who have “led” us for the last 25 years into this morass.
And I will add our own collective fat and lazy and willfully ignorant disregard for our civic duty and demand for checks and balances of our government as “We THE People”.
Anyway, THE GAS PRICES ARE TOO DAMN HIGH … Again:
Happy Friday, Fellow Spectators— Uh-ohhhhhh … Y’all went to sleep again and woke again in “pod people” country with gas rising yet again over night, didn’t ya? Yeah, by a penny. But think of it as another straw on the way to breaking the camel’s back … our national economy and our personal budgets … and a penny is far heavier than a strand of straw so it will be collapsing faster and harder.

Look at your car & think what you do & where you go. Even if you could afford it is there an EV that would replace it?
For most, answer is no. Until you can replace the things we use everyday with things that can be powered with the new green energy this isn’t even a debate

Tyler O’Neil: Baby formula shortage bills pass House amid GOP claims Dems are ‘covering up’ the real problem: Republicans supported one baby formula shortage bill but opposed the other, saying it lacks a plan to fix the problem … It also gifts the bulk of the $28 million to the FDA…
The main problem is that the FDA will not allow the Abbott plant to resume production. Throwing $28 BILLION at inept bureaucrats isn’t going to solve the problem. It just makes more government bloat (the problem is temporary, but the jobs this creates will NOT be, guaranteed).
— Red is MY color! (@RDodge1) May 19, 2022
The premise that the FDA needs more staff and more money for more hours worked is total bullshit. The GOP should call for hearings of the FDA and publicly audit that agency’s budget and its staff population numbers verses this alleged need to increase both in this problem they themself created. This is one very ‘dependable’ thing democrat administrations do, increase government at our added expense.
Here are the 9 Republicans who voted against a bill to help poor families buy baby formula amid the ongoing shortage https://t.co/DnRssV53Qo
— Insider News (@InsiderNews) May 19, 2022
How would giving $28 million to the FDA “help boost supply” of formula?
Do they claim the formula shortage was caused by insufficient FDA funds?
Ask these questions when you see people misrepresent these bills.https://t.co/qIYhIKbnSL

And the Hispanics in this country are not happy with this administration on any issue, even the open border issue. And now the administration is reaching out to Venezuela and Cuba that will piss them off even more.
Florida Democrats and their local media cheerleaders have been hung out to dry after Biden eased sanctions against the dictatorships in Cuba and Venezuela.

Abby Liebing @ WJ: Biden Reversing US Policy Toward Socialist Dictatorships, But Look What’s Happening in the Background
The Biden administration is easing up on socialist, oppressive countries despite the American tradition of cutting ties with such nations.
President Joe Biden has taken a step towards easing some energy sanctions against Venezuela, the New York Post reported.
This comes on the heels of the administration also taking measures to lift some financial, travel and migration rules for Cuba.
These actions towards Cuba are an attempt to fulfill some of Biden’s campaign promises to the Cuban-American community…
Biden’s motive for easing sanctions on Venezuela is clearly a move to try to save his own skin in the midst of the American fuel crisis…
Regarding Venezuela’s oil, my oil-business friend told me years ago their oil is not the quality of oil we would want or need imported.

And legal Hispanics who immigrated to the US, and their following generations who appreciate their parents’/grandparents’ struggles for US citizenship, are not “OK” with this administration’s open border policy for illegal aliens and the tax-paid coddling and appeasing of them once they’re here. My dream continues that these millions of illegal aliens from around the world that dems are so damn confident will vote for them actually bigly swings the election votes for years to come in the opposite direction. It would serve them right, the damn demo-commies.

Plagues vs. Open Border:
Let me get this straight; The US government is beginning the ‘fear push’ over Monkeypox coming into the country and spreading but is quite probably going to do away with Title 42 to let in hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens from all over the globe and bringing in not only more COVID but possibly Monkeypox…
And then there is the Fentanyl epidemic…

Plant-based dietary realities…
DM: The Impossible Burger may soon hit UK shelves: ‘BLEEDING’ meat-free patties made with genetically engineered yeast could be approved within a year … And just like that GMO is now a good thing, or something.
Speaking of burgers…
Samantha Ibrahim: 2-year-old orders 31 cheeseburgers on DoorDash after taking mom’s phone … I fear for my daughter and son-in-law, as their 2.6 year old has become quite savy with their cell phones, and they order their takeout foods online. But their one advantage is they do not use DoorDash or any other delivery service.
VIDEO: McDonald’s and Wendy’s face lawsuit over burger size … Yep, shrinkflation. I have noticed the burger size shrinking for atleast a year. Depending what burger you order, the bun now swallows the burger and it is very misrepresented in the TV ads. Five Guys is still pretty decent, and in the last year we have decided to spend our money there for burgers and fries.
What happens if you contract COVID and Monkeypox at the same time? Well, since COVID is a bat virus…

Yes, these charts are a couple of years old. However, given the drastic jump in the crime/murder rates in those last couple of years we can only conclude these numbers have risen.

He’s over the target and taking flack … A day after Elon Musk declares he’s done with the dems and will, for the first time, be voting republican, this allegation just happens to be fired-off…
In the past I voted Democrat, because they were (mostly) the kindness party.
But they have become the party of division & hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican.
Now, watch their dirty tricks campaign against me unfold … 🍿
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 18, 2022
But I have a challenge to this liar who claims their friend saw me “exposed” – describe just one thing, anything at all (scars, tattoos, …) that isn’t known by the public. She won’t be able to do so, because it never happened.

It’s strange how their friend is the one who came forward years after it supposedly happened while claiming they can’t stay silent.
It’s a story based on hearsay. “My friend said”
No proof.

Exactly. Moreover, the “friend” in question who gave the interview to BI, is a far left activist/actress in LA with a major political axe to grind.

Meanwhile…
The judge and the jury in the Sussman trial are Clinton-tainted in several ways…
J.J. Sefton: MIDTERMS 2022: Pox Americana
- SHAMPEACHMENT 1.0, 2016 CLINTON/OBAMA COUP, CONGRESSIONAL PERSECUTION, SPYGATE, DEEP STATE, MUELLER DECEPTION
- Margot Cleveland: “That Joffe used Sussmann to feed supposed intel to the DOJ supports the false statement charge against Sussmann, but will the jury learn of this?”
Michael Sussmann Defense Contradicts Itself on Another Key Argument- “Sussmann is accused of lying to the FBI by bringing the agency bogus dirt on Donald Trump and claiming to have been acting as a concerned citizen, and not on behalf of a client. Sussmann told the FBI that Trump had a secret communications channel with the Kremlin via Alfa Bank. FBI agents found no evidence that such a channel existed.”
Clinton Lawyer Marc Elias Sings Like a Canary at Sussman-Durham Trial- “Sussmann, a Democrat lawyer with ties to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, was charged last year by Durham with lying to the FBI during a 2016 meeting. The trial kicked off earlier this week, with Baker providing crucial testimony Thursday that could strengthen special counsel John Durham’s case against Sussmann.”
Former FBI Official Testifies in Durham Case, Says He’s “Confident” Sussmann Denied Acting on Behalf of Client- “The connection is not so close that it affects her impartiality,” Cooper said. “She did not know the connection, unfortunately, when she filled out the questionnaire.”
Sussmann Judge Rejects Prosecutors’ Protests After Juror Reveals Tie to Defendant- “Mook presided over Hillary’s 2016 campaign and harbored ‘a deep sense of responsibility’ for her loss to Donald Trump. He chose not to send Clinton to Midwestern states in the Democratic primary because of her negative comparison with Bernie Sanders and her basic unlikeability. In the general election, with Trump flying all over the country and holding massive rallies, Mook again kept Hillary out of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania for the same reasons. Trump won all of them and won the White House.”
