The US is nearing a deal with allies to limit China’s access to semiconductor tech. If Biden pulls this off, it’ll be the FIRST thing he’s done right since he’s had the keys to the White House. But don’t hold your breath. If there’s a way to f⭐⚡⭐it up, he’ll find it.

Kotek’s homebuilding target is ambitious, potentially costly and politically fraught, experts say. Here’s an observation for Crazy Kotek – want in one hand and shit in the other and see which one fills up first. She might as well say she’s going to cure world hunger. For those who might not have been paying attention to her exploits, for years, Kotek was a member of the legislature that makes the state laws and rules that investors and contractors must follow. One would think that if ANYBODY should’ve known about the regulatory bottleneck housing builders face, it would’ve been her. It appears she assumed ascension to the throne in Salem’s castle would also grant her access to a magic wand to make things happen. It’s going to be a lonnnggg four years.

Virtual employees are on the rise in China, should Americans be worried? I’ll tell you who SHOULD be worried – all the fast-food joints that hire airheads and persons of questionable immigration status, you know – the ones that share social security numbers like hippies passing around a joint. Allow me to share a little background. I can’t remember the last time we got home after going through a fast food drive-thru (and this is across the board – not just one franchise brand), so tonight it was no surprise when the wife got home, only to find they had forgotten part of her order, which the receipt confirmed she had purchased. She called the business and explained to the person (one has to assume she was talking to the manager, as kitchen workers don’t typically answer the phone) that it was too far to drive back and pick up the missing item. She then proceeded to ask him to drop a coupon in the mail. What happened at that point was absolutely comical. Even after explaining the steps involved – get an envelope, put a stamp on it, put the coupon inside, seal it up and mail it, she was told, “I don’t know if we can do that.” At that point, I got the distinct impression that the individual wasn’t questioning his company’s procedural ability to make that happen. He had no grasp of the mail, how it worked, or how to use it. Sadly, I think this situation can be found anywhere – not just in Oregon, where the high school graduate doesn’t have to know how to read, write or demonstrate proficiency in math to get a diploma. Let’s do the math. For an average of $6,000 a year, Taco Bell, KFC, or Dairy Queen can rent a virtual employee that’s probably more proficient than the current crop of airheads they’ve got screwing up orders. Based on their caliber, they probably wouldn’t even know how to be miffed that they were replaced by a bunch of 1s and 0s.

Harmeet Dhillon says Republicans ignore grassroots base at their ‘peril.’ ‘ Here’s a message for all the people that voted for McDaniel instead Dhillon – if any ball coach ends the season with a 0 and 3 record, they get their walking papers. After losses and lackluster performance in 2020 and 2022, SOMETHIN’S not working, and unless we want to see a repeat in 2024, there needs to be some changes. For over $358,000 a year, we expect a better track record than the dismal results we’ve seen in the last two election cycles. Let’s look further than the salary. The position of RNC chairman should be limited to two terms, with a two-term waiting period before a previous chairperson can seek office again.

Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz introduced a resolution on Thursday that would bar California Rep. Adam Schiff from accessing classified information. Keeping Shithead Schiff away from classified information is like keeping an alcoholic away from booze. If they let him get anywhere close to it, it’ll be leak-city and unleash his uncontrollable urge to drag the closest conservative through the mud. As alluded to in posts before the 2022 election, the commonsensers in the House are finally getting their chance to enact revenge for falsehoods the Democridiots pushed during #45’s impeachment for Russian collusion. It couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch than Schiff, Swalwell, and Omar.

Police: Albany Helping Hands homeless shelter poses safety concerns. Yet ANOTHER advertisement for my Transition Center plan. These places that provide a consolidated location for the bums to trade in their tents, and bring their dope with them, aren’t curing anything – it’s just centralizing the problem. Here’s a message for the group that’s running the shelter: Over 27 police calls in 25 days isn’t anything to brag about. If all those bums were isolated on a Transition Center compound, staffed with physical and mental health professionals and job-skill educators, surrounded by security, and living in a drug and alcohol-free environment, this wouldn’t even be a story.

Has suspending Oregon graduation testing requirements contributed to rising grad rates? In an interview for the linked article, the idiot that sponsored the bill that created this situation doesn’t think so, but then again, he’s a Democridiot. How could reducing the skill level required to obtain a diploma possibly NOT inflate the state’s graduation rate? It’s common sense. Next thing you know, Democrats in Salem will lower the bar so much that sixth graders could graduate from high school. If you don’t have to demonstrate your ability to read, write or know that 2 + 2 = 4, ANYBODY can graduate. This whole thing was a ploy by Democrats to boost the graduation rates of minorities  (including illegal aliens) in this state. The sad thing is, they couldn’t see farther than the nose on their face because, in the long run, all it does is hamstring the young person with an Oregon high school diploma when competing for college.

Electric vehicles are more expensive to fuel than gas-powered cars at end of 2022: consulting firm. For those that fell for the lies earthfirsters were telling everybody, you’re fixin’ to get a lesson on the reality of economics. Any product is only as cheap as its component parts allow it to be. What’s that mean? When gas was pushing $6.00 a gallon, EV fanatics flooded the media with magical stories about how cheap it was to recharge an EV compared to filling up a fossil fuel vehicle at a gas station. Well, that was then. This is now. The average cost of a gallon of gas today has gone down to $3.49. The cost of electricity has gone up everywhere. And that, boys and girls, has reversed what the tree-huggers were saying about the cheapness of EVs. In the 4^th quarter of 2022, driving a gas-powered car 100 miles cost 31¢ less than charging an EV at home and $3 less than charging it at a public location to go the same 100 miles. Those that ignore history are doomed to repeat it, just like those that ignore mathematics are bound to be wrong sooner or later.

A bill in Texas would require district attorneys to prosecute crimes or face repercussions such as potential removal from office. Texas needs to make 50 copies of this bill’s language and mail it to every state legislature. Here’s the message it sends to all the Soros-elected DAs: Either enforce the laws equally or face being removed from office – period. There needs to be a rebellion against these WP assholes that favor the criminal and toss the victim’s rights in the gutter.
