Everyone seems to be very upset with Biden for pardoning his family members ahead of Trump’s restoration. Considering that Trump made clear that he planned to pardon at least some of the people who tried to overturn the election by storming the capitol as it was counting the electoral votes, you’d think it wouldn’t ‘t really be necessary. He wouldn’t have the balls to go after Biden’s family after that, right? And since he is flamboyantly swallowing a firehouse of corrupt money without even trying to hide it, no one would think it makes sense for him to try to continue the jihad against the Bidens. Well, he went even further and pardoned almost all of them, even the ones who tried to kill cops. And he granted clemency to those who plotted it. Does anything still think he has any limits? Well, not everyone agrees with that. This is from Townhall: Congress should immediately launch an investigation into this, both the House and Senate. Subpoena everyone.

As city leaders, we’re stunned we’re losing thousands and thousands of residents who say they can’t build a life here. We don’t understand why they’re leaving, even after we’ve spent all our time in office making this city absolutely inhospitable to working people.

The building block of a comfortable life is housing, so we’re surprised to hear people struggle to find affordable homes. Maybe they’re not considering all of their options. Perhaps they could move to a cheaper, outer borough like the Bronx or Queens, or an outer-outer borough like Long Island, or an outer-space borough like our new colony on Jupiter’s moon Ganymede (six months’ rent required at signing).

Don’t limit yourself to movement on our three-dimensional plane. How about time-traveling back to 1987 to buy a dilapidated brownstone and then waiting forty years to cash out at the expense of the suckers who made the bad decision to be born after you? After all, that’s what every elected official did.

Australian Government cabinet papers from 30 years ago show that Australian leaders suspected that the claims of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq were probably false. However, Australia committed troops because Australia wanted to ingratiate itself with the United States and was prepared to break international law to do so. This sets the standard for Continue reading »
