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(murders, incarceration, teen mothers, fatherless households, income, wealth, etc.) between blacks and whites.
Racism exists (though not widespread), it’s bad, and we should continue to work to reduce it. Excess police force exists (though rare), it's 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, lack of agency) and do not address the key root causes (it’s not excessive police force or systemic racism.)

Biden claims he has had record GDP growth. That is only true if you look at it from an intellectually dishonest context.
Biden's first months in office are following the pandemic shutdown, one of the largest economic drops in US history, and one where you would expect larger than average growth. This is illustrated if you compare Trump after shutdown with Biden after shutdown. This comparison shows that growth under Trump was dramatically higher than growth under Biden.
I'm not claiming growth under Trump reflects anything more than what might be expected after the large downturn.
I'm just claiming that I am tired of the intellectual dishonesty of the Biden administration's braggadocious claims when, in fact, they are nothing special.
According to CDC data (Death data through Novermber 2021, vaccination data through January 22, 2022, hospitalization data through January 25,2022):
Covid is still, by far, the greatest risk to people 65 and older;
Vaccines are very effective in preventing death;
Boosters improve vaccine efficacy in preventing death and this is even more so for the high risk age group 65 and over;
The US was highly vaccinated, especially throughout the higher risk (age) groups;
There is a significant lag in US death data and as a result the affect of the omicron variant on these results is still not available; and,
It appears that current hospitalization, which does include the omicron effect, has peaked and it is expected that deaths will correspondingly start to drop in a week or two.
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 numbers are the apprehensions. We do not know how many people get through without being apprehended)
Chicago police recorded another 25 shootings, including four murders, over the past weekend alone, as the city’s police superintendent and others testified Monday before a Senate committee on gun violence.
From Friday at 6 p.m. to Sunday at 11:59 p.m., there were 25 shooting incidents involving 27 shooting victims. There were four murders reported to police during that time frame.
Another week and more lives lost. Until the Democrats stop propagating the false narrative nothing will change.

Biden continues his intellectually dishonest claims. Most recent is his claim that he has had the largest wage gains in recent history. While factually correct from a narrow perspective, it is wildly misleading in its broad intended context. If you include the inflation under the Biden administration you see that REAL wages (the wages that we all really care about) have actually fallen 0.21% per month under Biden. This is significantly less than the increase seen under Trump.
This is the same situation where we see Biden to continue his intellectually dishonest claim regarding jobs created. What is clear from the facts, if you look at the situation after the pandemic shutdowns, there have been significantly less jobs created per month, 568,000, under Biden after the initial pandemic shutdown than the jobs created under Trump after the initial pandemic shutdown, 1,311,000 per month.
What is frustrating, at least to me, is that the main stream media continues to support Biden making these intellectually dishonest claims.
Mr. Biden was asked whether he expected the 2022 elections would be legitimate.
“I’m not going to say it’s going to be legit,” Mr. Biden said. “The increase and the prospect of being illegitimate is in direct proportion to us not being able to get these reforms passed.”
Inflation, which has significantly increased under the Biden administration, is a hidden tax on Americans.
Prices of goods and services increase, leaving consumers with less money.
