Tuesday May 4th – Open Thread

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

The Bidens Visit The Carters and Take a Really Weird Photo

What the heck kind of goofball sorcery is taking place here?

This is not a spoof, the link to the original from the Carter Center [SEE HERE]

.

The White House purposefully found the one couple that could make frail and feeble Biden appear healthy?  Or is this unmasked giants meeting with frail mini-people?

Whatever the reason, Joe Biden is following the Jimmy Carter economic model for inflation; so perhaps they were talking about the best way to do the exact wrong thing for the U.S. economy.

Corn Prices Rise 30 Percent So Far This Year – Big Ag Multinationals Happy, Middle Class About to Get Squeezed With Inflation

You’ve likely seen mentions of inflation popping up amid some MSM discussions. Without a doubt you have seen significant price jumps at your local supermarket.

The reason is simple, JoeBama’s economic policies are beneficial to the multinationals, crushing to the domestic U.S. economy and driving massive increases in prices in a variety of sectors.  As a consequence the leftist financial media (almost all financial media) are churning out deflection points, but if you understand the background you can predictably see the cause and effect.

USA Today –  From tortillas to cornbread, some of your favorite corn-based dishes may go up in price late this summer.  Corn has been leading the rally among grain commodities, rising more than 30% in 2021, according to MarketWatch. (more)

NOTE: Wheat, corn and soybeans are the foundation of the U.S. food supply. They are primarily used as ingredients in processed foods, oils, and are fed to the cattle, hogs, and poultry that supply meat and eggs for the American diet.  When those grain harvests go up in price the downstream increase in price is far reaching.

Remember, there is no such thing as a “commodity” market in the free market sense of the word.  Those commodity markets are now “controlled markets“, and fully under the control of massive multinational agricultural corporations.

[…]  “Americans should definitely expect an eventual rise in prices later in the year,” says Moya. “The surge with grain prices should not immediately be visible at supermarkets, since retailers absorb the initial increase. (But) eventually, the margin pressure will be too big and probably at some point late in the summer, Americans will start to take notice to some increases on grocery shelves.” (more)

Many Americans are recently awake to the singular ideology that surrounds DC politics.  The UniParty political fraud also applies to our political economy. However, just like the election, understanding the deception in modern economics means understanding previous false and promoted assumptions.

COVID Madness, NY Governor Cuomo Calls Unvaccinated Youth “Grandma Killers”

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo held a press conference today pondering why the number of people in the state taking the COVID vaccine is dropping even with increased availability.  As he discussed the 16-25 year old age group not taking the vaccine; and in an effort to convince them to comply with the vaccine request; Cuomo  said:

maybe you go home and kiss your grandmother, and wind up killing your grandmother“…

If the vaccination works…. and if grandma is vaccinated…. then what difference does it make if I kiss her?

Florida Governor Suspends all Manipulation of Local Emergency Orders to Restrict Freedom, Ending all COVID-19 Restrictions

..”If the public are bound to yield obedience to laws to which they cannot give their approbation, they are slaves to those who make such laws and enforce them.”..  ~Sam Adams

The Florida Legislature has completed a bill that blocks any/all local municipalities from continuing “emergency use COVID orders” that restricts business and individual freedom.  The law goes into effect on July 1st, and Governor Ron DeSantis signed the bill today in St. Petersburg.  To speed up the process, the Governor also announced he was using his executive office to suspend all local ordinances and restrictions effective immediately.

In other words, you are free to take whatever precautions you deem personally necessary but all local restrictions are blocked.

.

Obviously, the leftist officials in the deep blue metro-areas are going bananas at their loss of control over their citizens.

Restoration of Our Republic, Southlake Texas Shows the Way – Organized Families Win 2 school board seats, 2 City Council seats and Mayor, Turnout Tripled

Many people have come to the realization the best line of defense against an out of control and corrupt federal government is to drop back to the state and local level, harden the local politics to push-back against federal intervention, and demand local and state officials fight against the dangerous leftist agenda.

Governors like Ron DeSantis in Florida are leading the way with proactive state legislation and direct confrontation against the collectivist leftist effort.  The state confrontation includes state laws against efforts by federal intrusion (COVID mandates, passports, etc) and simultaneously creating state laws that will allow Big Tech (censorship) and the multinational corporations (discrimination) to be sued in state court.  Additionally, following the Tea Party organized model, local pragmatic patriots are also doing their part.

The latest story of effective organization at the local level comes from a group of families in a mid-sized town of Southlake, Texas; a town northwest of Dallas with a population of 31,000.  The school board was about to initiate the indoctrination program of Critical Race Theory (CRT) in the region.  The parents said “no more” leftist bullshit, organized an effective political action committee pooled their financial resources, selected candidates and launched a full-frontal assault in the next local election.

The results were stunningly successful as the pragmatic patriots crushed the leftist effort with a turnout three times greater than the previous election, and an overwhelming seventy percent level of voting support for their candidates.  Their opposition barely scraped 30% for their side.  This is how it is done; smile as you read the details below:

SOUTHLAKE, Texas — Nine months after officials in the affluent Carroll Independent School District introduced a proposal to combat racial and cultural intolerance in schools, voters delivered a resounding victory Saturday to a slate of school board and City Council candidates who opposed the plan.
