Biden admin official privately briefed former employers’ donors on energy policy, text messages show. Let me get this straight. In Biden’s world, it’s okay for the head of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to host a donors-only question and answer session at a briefing, put on by her former liberal left employer? What was she thinking? Folks, ethically, that’s every bit as inappropriate as Pompous Pelosi giving her hubby info on upcoming legislation, so he can run down and buy or sell stocks accordingly. These Democrats are dumber in the head than a hog is in the ass.

Dumbing down graduation standards to hide political failures. A good read. Illustrates clearly how Salem Democrats have sold out your kids’ future in pursuit of their woke progressive agenda. If you ever figure out how that agenda benefits anybody with even a LITTLE common sense, be sure and let me know, ’cause I sure as hell don’t see it.

John Fetterman claims he saved Braddock, Pa., but it’s got ‘no life.’ Here’s the deal. If Biden’s saving America the same way Fetterman saved Braddock PA when he was its mayor, we’d ALL be standing in bread lines somewhere. Typical Democrat – brag about stuff that never happened, and lie about the stuff that did.

As seen in a Southern Oregon newspaper:

As the November elections rapidly approach, let me offer a few of my personal reasons why I am leaning toward the GOP candidates this time around.

EDUCATION: As a career educator, I find it tragic that Oregon’s K-12 schools are now placed near the bottom in state rankings. Example: 43rd in a Forbes magazine listing. If our kids don’t matter in my voting, what does? And I would contend that considerable blame should rest on our current governor, her predecessor, and their party.

CIVIL SOCIETY: I have sadly watched our leaders as they allow Portland to disintegrate into rioting and lawlessness. I no longer attend events at the Keller and Schnitzer auditoriums in downtown Portland or concerts at the Hult Center in Eugene due to safety concerns. A family member of mine had her car stolen in Portland. When it was recovered, it was filled with bullet holes. Her family rarely ventures into downtown Portland since the 100 days of riots. The boarded-up, graffiti-covered and vacant businesses of that city are a disgrace to our state.

DRUGS: The Medford Mail Tribune has reported that Oregon ranks #1 in meth use, #1 in prescription opioid abuse, #3 in marijuana, #5 in alcoholism, #7 in cocaine and #11 in heroin. Oregon Public Broadcasting reported that Oregon ranks last in the nation in treatment options. As I walk on the streets of my town, it is not uncommon to find used needles and baggies of drugs, sometimes even on children’s playgrounds and school athletic fields. In good conscience, I cannot vote for leaders of the party that is allowing this to happen.

INFLATION: As a social security recipient, under President Biden, the cost of gasoline, food, services, etc. has far outstripped any COLA adjustments, resulting in a standard of living decline.

Competent leaders anticipate problems and take corrective action. I don’t see Biden, Harris, Pelosi, et al. doing this.

Biden’s proposed gig worker rule could deal a major blow to small businesses. Go ahead, Biden, follow California’s lead and wreck the rest of the economy. You’re already responsible for inflation we haven’t seen in 40 years, now you propose to put the last nail in the coffin of small business on a national level, by changing the rules on who they can call an independent contractor, and who they have to call an employee, with all the required expenses: minimum wage, overtime, Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes, unemployment insurance and workers’ compensation insurance. Wake up people. Democrats are destroying this country. Anybody that votes for one, is voting themselves one step closer to a canvas condo, located on prime sidewalk real estate.

Tulsi Gabbard leaves the Democratic Party and denounces it as ‘elitist cabal’. WAY TO GO TULSI! I’ve always known you were a person grounded in common sense – a closet conservative if you will. And your description of the Democrats is right on – “elitist cabal.” Don’t be surprised if I use that one, because it describes them to a T.

Former U.S ambassador to the U.N., Amb Nikki Haley slammed President Biden for showing “weakness” amid Russian President Vladimir Putin’s latest threats of using nuclear weapons. Okay, I’m just gonna come out and ask – have you ever taken stock of what our 46th president has done since day one, and asked yourself if you’re really awake? I mean think about all the stuff this guy’s done: released 70% of our Strategic Petroleum Reserve in an attempt to make gas cheaper – 70% of the oil we need in case we have to fight a war and our supply is cut off; hobbled fossil fuel developers and distributors; flooded our country with MILLIONS of illegal aliens; enacted policies responsible for the worst inflation in over 40 years. I could keep going, but I’d run out of space.
