  • Di Leo: Another Year of Bidenflation, Another Year of Errant Democrat Policy

    Illinois Review ^ | April 1, AD 2024 | John F. Di Leo
    The Biden-Harris regime should be embarrassed. The latest inflation numbers are out, and they don’t look good. Core inflation – a general inflation estimate tool that leaves out volatile things like gasoline, food and beverages – is up 3.8% per year. And that means that when you add in those cleverly-removed items – you know, all the things you really spend your money on, day in and day out – your real inflation level is still well over 10%. And that’s now, after it’s settled down a bit from the double-digit nightmare levels of the first two years of the...

    Rashida Tlaib is the appallingly left-wing and anti-Semitic Congresswoman who represents, among other precincts, Dearborn, Michigan, the center of Hamas’s American support. When pro-Hamas demonstrators in Tlaib’s district chanted “Death to America!” Fox News naturally sought out Ms. Tlaib for comment. After all, they are not just her constituents but probably her most fervent supporters. But she refused to respond:Hananya Naftali@HananyaNaftali · Follow Dear America,You have a Congresswoman called Rashida Tlaib who is receiving a salary funded by your taxes, and yet she refuses to condemn "death to America" chants.I'm confused, is she working for Americans or against Americans?So Rashida...

    Mexico is in the midst of a presidential election. Voting is scheduled for June 2, with the winner taking office October 1. The three candidates are frontrunner Claudia Sheinbaum, second-place challenger Xochitl Galvez, and male candidate Jorge Alvarez Maynez, in a distant third in single digits. On April 7, the first general election debate was held. The candidates made all sorts of promises which would require plenty of government spending, with almost no mention of wealth creation. They pledged allegiance to the LGBTQXYZ agenda, which is strong in Mexico. And, the candidates discussed immigration. That’s of interest to us, Mexican...

    Three invasions with extraordinary global impact and history-shaping consequences have occurred since January 2021 -- the month Joe Biden became America's president and his administration began directing U.S. foreign and federal domestic policy. The invasions in reverse chronological order: 1. Hamas' October 2023 genocidal invasion of Israel. Hamas is committed to Israel's elimination, which means committing genocide. 2. Vladimir Putin-led Russia's February 2022 all-out conventional attack to seize Ukraine. 3. The illegal alien disruption and "political transformation" invasion that began in spring 2021 after Biden, by presidential directive, effectively ended U.S. border controls. In late spring 2024, all three invasions...

    Back in the day, when such things were allowed, potboiler thrillers set in various benighted lands often included a scene in which the ooga-booga natives were interrupted in various exercises of stake-burning or incipient cannibalism by the claim of one of the intended victims that he could blot out the sun. Prove it! they shouted and -- armed with his European foreknowledge of an imminent solar eclipse in that very spot and at that very moment -- so he did. The indigenous peoples collapsed in fear and awe while the divinized interlopers made their getaway. Today, things have flipped. The...

    I'm looking for a uplifting video of a man kneeling in the woods, next to a body of water. The man is 50ish, white, and talks about how he's traveled America and he sees that Americans are good where ever you go. He has a folksy way of talking, much like Mike Rowe. The video is several years old and seems to have disappeared. Can anyone point me in the right direction to find this video and possible other videos by the same man.

    Border Hawk Blog ^ | April 6th, 2024 | Allan Wall
    The VDARE.com website, founded by Peter Brimelow, has been on the internet since 1999. VDARE deals with immigration (legal and illegal), national identity, ethnic identity politics, race and crime, and related topics; especially aspects of these matters that are excluded by the Mainstream Media. That’s why VDARE is under attack and is currently in imminent danger of being abolished. Its payment processing has been shut down repeatedly. It’s been banned from YouTube and Facebook. Sadly, VDARE has been very shabbily treated by the conservative movement itself. VDARE is currently being destroyed by Leticia James, the attorney general of New York....

    Some in my family are "normies" who just don't have the energy to care about what they call "politics". They believe the government is corrupt but think there's nothing we can do - no good options - so they just want to ignore it and "remain sane". Basically they are black-pilled, and they say most people are the same way. How do we reach these people? This is what I'd like to say to them, if there was a way to get them to listen. Can somebody help me out here? “Freedom is never more than one generation away from...

    The only way this will end is for Israel's complete annihilation of Hamas.On Monday six foreign aid workers and a Gazan driver were killed in a what was described as an Israeli precision attack. Netanyahu said in a statement that it was a “tragic event in which our forces unintentionally harmed non-combatants in the Gaza Strip. This happens in war … We are conducting a thorough inquiry and are in contact with the governments. We will do everything to prevent a recurrence.” The country has launched an investigation.They were killed because Gaza is a war zone and as admirable as...

    The Democratic Party and its spokesdroids have, for several holidays in a row now, warned people about the “difficult conversations” they were going to have around the Thanksgiving table, or the Christmas table, or at any other holiday gathering when large families would be together. The official line has been that Republicans – or more specifically, “MAGA Republicans” – would pick fights with family members who admitted to voting for President Trump, especially if they ever dared to say that modern elections are anything other than “the cleanest and most honest election in the history of the universe.” Generally speaking,...

    Forget selling the Brooklyn Bridge to some gullible Democrat. How about a bridge in Baltimore? Here’s an idea: offer to name it the Donald Trump Bridge if Trump can get it rebuilt in six months? (With the proviso he doesn’t have to put up with any Baltimore/Buttigieg Bureaucratic nonsense.) Who doubts that he could do it? I suspect the building trades, steelworkers, etc., would work overtime at regular wages to make it happen. Because you know why they would.
