California average gas prices just broke $6 a gallon. The national average is currently 25% less than that at $4.59 a gallon, but many experts are calling for gas prices to reach $6 a gallon within the next 60 days. So they are calling for a 25% increase in 2 months, meaning that fuel prices are now doubling every 8 months. Since everything you buy has to be transported from one place to the other, this will continue to contribute to inflation.
The prices of homes were skyrocketing in 2008. Everyone was in a panic to buy a house, flip it, and get rich. This isn’t that. I think that, unlike 2008, prices of everything are rising, and that is because the value of the US dollar is falling. That is, the US government has printed its way into this mess.
We are not on the verge of a housing bubble popping. We are on the verge of a collapse of the US dollar. In 2008, your home lost half of its value. In 2022, you are at risk of having your bank accounts lose half of their value.
The Democrats have obviously abandoned the Biden regime.
So who is going to replace him? I don’t think it will be Harris, Pelosi, or Constitutionally, it COULD be Obama, but I don’t really see that either. Have we finally reached the point where Americans will support the strongman who promises to fix everything and will hand him supreme but “temporary” power in order to do it? Who will it be?
The sudden interest in the ineptitude of the current resident of the Whitehouse by the US press seems to indicate that they are ready to discard him. American thinker has an interesting take on Obama trying to make a comeback.
My initial thought on Obama getting a third term was “the 22nd Amendment says that a person can’t be President more than twice.” Except that, as the article points out, that isn’t what it says.
Twenty-Second Amendment
Twenty-Second Amendment Annotated
Section 1
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.
22nd Amendment, emphasis added
If Obama is appointed to be the VP to replace Kamala, then Biden is also removed from office, Obama could serve out the remainder of the current term.
How would they remove Harris? What if she were assassinated by a Trump supporting, AR wielding bitter clinger?
This is the point where the police have openly declared that they are against freedom, and that the war has begun. To those of you who are police officers and still listen to reason- please think about what you are doing. This is the point where the war doesn’t stop when you clock out and go home. Citizens know that they aren’t strong enough to take on the cops and the military in open combat.
So combat will not be open. The citizens won’t see a distinction between “on the clock” you, and “off work” you. You will be an enemy 100% of the time. Why should citizens take you on while you are on horseback, wearing armor, and surrounded by reinforcements? Why not wait until you are out mowing the lawn, all by yourself and unarmed? Why wouldn’t citizens target your wives and children while you are out tramping your jackboots on the heads of old ladies with walkers? Or how far away can a person be in an urban environment with a decent 308 rifle and have a good enough sight line to hit a horse/rider combo? Or a crowd of a few dozen cops? 500 yards? 800?
This is a dangerous point for all concerned. If this sort of thing moves south of the Canadian border, expect things to get sporty.
That is why I have been saying that Portland is enemy territory and is behind enemy lines. At least there are still some who will fight back. I just fear that the police, who are already on the side of the communists, will simply destroy the homeowner’s life.
I know that many of us talk about how the government seems to be protecting criminals. In New York, that has become quite literally what is happening. The city has established the country’s first “overdose prevention center” where medical professionals oversee and assist people in administering illegal drugs to themselves.
The people behind it say- and I’m not kidding- that this is based upon science. They are saving lives, don’t you know.
I wonder what science will discover next. Perhaps they will declare that the police need to escort thieves into your home, so that thieves don’t have to risk working and stealing in an unsafe environment. Think of the lives they will save.
