Now-Mostly Peaceful Shopping and Driving?

Now we have mostly peaceful shopping and mostly peaceful driving to accompany the mostly peaceful protests. 

Is anybody else concerned about where our society is going?

Who's on First?

 

Why don’t these lives matter?

  

Where’s the outrage? Where’s BLM? Where’s Lebron?

Another week and more lives lost. Until the Democrats stop propagating the false narrative nothing will change.

Black lives matter - I support the words but cannot support the organization because it propagates the false narrative that systemic racism is the primary cause of the disparities(incarceration, teen mothers, fatherless households, income, wealth, etc.) between blacks and whites.

Racism exists, it’s bad, and we should continue to work to reduce it. Excess police force is bad and we should continue to work to reduce it.

BLM organization’s positions and policies do not address the problems (murders, fatherless households, teen pregnancy) and do not address the key root causes (it’s not excessive police force or systemic racism.) https://moxlosllc.blogspot.com/2021/11/wheres-biden-blm-and-lebron-11921.html

This will help blacks how?

Biden/Dems Trash Constitution

Biden, Democrats and Main Stream Media are attacking the fundamental rights that are a foundation of our nation: pre­sump­tion of in­no­cence, due process, trial by jury, proof of guilt be­yond a rea­son­able doubt.

Biden-“angry and concerned” about verdict

Jerry Nadler (D Chair House Judiciary Committee): verdict ”justifies federal review by DOJ”

Cori Bush (D MS): “white supremacy in action”

AOC: “ system functioning as designed and protecting those it was designed for [White supremacists]

MSNBC: verdict is an outrage and a brazen miscarriage of justice

Kamala Harris: “there’s still a lot more work to do” [To make our system equitable]

Biden’s anger?

Joe Biden is angry about the Rittenhouse jury verdict. I wonder how much that anger justifies others’ anger. I hope that wasn’t the justification for the man who killed innocent children. But I know propagating false narratives is tearing our country apart.

Build Back Better Busts the Budget

I am tried of Biden's lies.  

Biden and his administration continue to claim that the Build Back Better Bill will not cost anything.

This is a bold face lie!

There are three fundamental problems with this statement.

First, the Bill as written has been determined by the CBO to increase the deficit by $367 billion.

Second, the bill includes smoke and mirrors and is full of gimmicks. It includes 10 years of taxes but only includes limited years of the benefits they are so loudly touting: Child care, Pre-K, Child Tax credit.  If you include the additional spending of all of these programs for the 10 years of tax collection the Bill adds an additional $2.5  TRILLION of spending and deficits.  The charts below show the total spending, taxes and deficit of the Bill as written and of  the Bill will all programs present for the 10 years of taxes.  There are also two charts that show the components of the spending and their effect. 

Third, the US is already running a significant deficit and it's entitlement systems (Social Security and Medicare) are going bankrupt.  Combining spending and taxing to claim no cost is disingenuous when the US already has many programs that are not paid for.  If the Democrats want to raise taxes, shouldn't they be used to pay for the programs that already exist?

Oh-And this won’t increase inflation?

Shame on Brandon take 2

Today November  19, 2021: Say what? Biden:”While the verdict in Kenosha will leave many Americans feeling angry and concerned, myself included….”

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2021/11/19/statement-by-president-biden/

Biden calls Rittenhouse white supremicist. Did he know that Rittenhouse shot 3 white people in self defense.

SS Sucks, Obamacare Sucked, Medicare not Fair

SS Sucks

For those of you that aren’t familiar, your Social Security benefits are based on the average of the highest 35 years of you wages adjusted for inflation. The, in 2021, you will get 90% of the first $11,952, 32% of the next $60,072, ONLY 15% of the next $70,776 and NOTHING for anything over $142,800. 

Turns out you will be 63% WORSE off getting social security than you would be if you would have been able to take all of your Social Security taxes and just invested it in abroad stock market index.

Obamacare Sucked

Obamacare increased my Health insurance premiums from around $6000 a year to over $12,000 per year and it significantly increased my deductible and out-of-pocket maximums. Why? Just as predicted, the design of Obamacare distorted the risk pool of private insurance resulting in higher premiums and costs.  So, my health insurance premiums clearly did not go down, and they tried their best to make it so I couldn’t keep my doctor.

Medicare is Unfair

Unfortunately (maybe luckily) I will be turning 65 next year and eligible for Medicare. As I start looking at my alternatives I was pleasantly surprised to see that my insurance premiums will now drop to a minimal amount of around $2000 per year and that will cover all my medical expenses (except for prescription co-pays.) No more out-of-pocket. No more deductible. 

Obviously, selfishly, I’ll enjoy the savings. But given my financial status and the financial status of our country, it seems like our country is pretty screwed up giving me such low price healthcare. 

 

Crack Sentencing Racist? No Mistake? Yes

Yes. The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 disproportionately affected blacks.

No. The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 was not racist.

In the 1980’s there was a dramatic increase in violence and crime related to crack cocaine, primarily in black communities. In response to this, and in an attempt to reduce crime and violence in these communities, the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 was design and passed with the full backing and support of black leaders and the Black Congressional Caucus. It was supported by Biden, a significant portion of Democrats and a majority of Republicans.

• Congressional Black Caucus co-sponsored and voted for it

• Harlem’s U.S. Representative Charles Rangel help draft the bill

• The United Black Church Appeal, a coalition of African American religious and civic leaders, organized vigils and rallies across New York City to publicize the crack problem and pressure public officials to act

• The Reverend Wendell Foster, an African American city councilman and the president of the United Black Church Appeal, declared, “We are engaged in a new form of genocide.” He added, “As devastating as drugs may be in the white community, they are 10 times worse in the black community.”

• Charles Hughes, African American president of Local 372, District Council 37 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, “…an end to the [heyday] that CRACK dealers have enjoyed until now. Penalties must replace profits for those who are trafficking in drugs and the [high-level] drug [kingpins] must be apprehended and brought to justice as well as [street-level] pushers”

• Anti-drug campaigns emerged in black communities across the United States

More Woke Nightmares

What about this insurrection?

Based on complete lies and disinformation fabricated by Clinton and the Russians propagated by the main stream media

For 4 years:

• Claims that Trump was not legitimate 
• Corruption of the DOJ and FBI
• Gross interference and disruptions of the Trump administration
• Diversion of resources from the actual “insurrectionists”

Biden's Botched Border Oct 21

Biden’s policies are a mess AND put many innocents at risk and allow Mexican cartels to get rich. 

I support immigration. A lot of immigration. But legal immigration, with a mix of merit based  (engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs, doctors, mathematicians, etc.) and opportunity-based (poor people who want to work hard, adopt American values, and get ahead). 

(Note-The above numbers are the apprehensions. We do not know how many people get through without being apprehended)

China loves Joe’s Woke”ness”

With China’s increasing size and importance of their economy and military and their interest in expanding in the Pacific and their global influence and retaking Taiwan, can anyone explain why the US is expanding their teaching students about gender fluidity and the false narratives of CRT and shrinking their teaching students about math and science?

Weather’s not a threat to banks

 Weather’s not a threat to banks

Biden needs to stop lying. Climate change is not a threat to our financial system. 

The New York Federal Reserve: “How bad are weather disasters for banks?”   

The answer: “Not very!”

Despite Biden’s claims to the contrary it turns out that because the actual size of financial system dwarfs the cost of weather disasters, adaptation to weather reduces the costs of weather disasters, banks understand risks of weather disasters and adjust their rates and loan portfolios to reflect the risk and banks make money on loans that actually increase after weather disasters. 

So. Yes climate change exists. No, it’s not a threat to our financial system.  And, no it’s not an existential threat.

Nightmare of Biden’s Woke”ness”

Recent Woke”ness”

Instead of talking about poor health among low-income people that physicians should blame “landowners and large corporations” for “increasingly centralizing political and financial power wielded by a few” 

AMA’s Advancing Health Equity: A Guide to Language, Narrative and Concepts

Previous Woke”ness”

“Mothers” have been replaced with “birthing people” in Biden’s proposed budget

The White House contact website now includes the gender-neutral prefix and pronoun options “Mx” and “they/them.”

The Biden administration is now allowing applicants to choose their gender when applying for a passport without providing medical certification, and will soon be adding a third gender option.

Biden uses the woke term “Latinx” – which only one in four Latino adults have heard of and only three percent use.

The Biden administration has forced immigration agencies to change how they talk about illegal immigrants, with “illegal aliens” now “undocumented noncitizens” and “assimilation” now “integration.”

Note- I really don’t care about who wants to sleep with whom or who wants to look like whom but I don’t like the departure from science: if you have a functioning SRY gene you have testes and are a male (if you have other rare abnormalities that interfere with the downstream pathways of SRY gene you make look female but you will still have testes and no ovaries). 

Let’s go Brandon! (explained)

 

This will help blacks how?

Arizona State University professor says traditional grading system is 'racist' and demands an end to 'white supremacy' by grading papers based on EFFORT instead of quality, grammar and style.  Some students have 'privilege' because they 'embody those habits of white language already'

Asao Inoue, a professor of rhetoric and composition: “Labor-based grading structurally changes everyone's relationship to dominant standards of English that come from elite, masculine, heteronormative, ableist, white racial groups of speakers.”

Did the US screw its school children?

Hmmmm.  Maybe we did screw up.

The US had significant lockdowns and school closings and still has significant masking requirements.

Sweden encouraged social distancing BUT did not have significant lockdowns or masking requirements, they kept schools open and did not require students to mask.

To date Sweden has 35% less Covid deaths per million than the US.

While it is difficult and only begun to be quantified, it is clear that the US school lockdowns had a significant negative impact on children's education, social and emotional health. It is clear that these harmful affects negatively and disproportionately affected students of color  

Also in a recent study from Sweden, there were no Covid deaths of children during the first 4 months of the Covid outbreak and the incidence of Covid amoung it's teachers was significantly less than the general public.
