Alex Jones claims he's broke even though it's reported he makes 50 to 70 million a year. He's asking his viewers to buy stuff to shore up his finances.

I wish I was broke like that.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

She got totally hosed
She got a drug trafficker sentence
Reality is that it was a small amount for personal use


I don't disagree that it was a small amount but if that is the sentence for everyone then I don't have a problem with it.

In Nevada any marijuana at all was considered a felony. If they found one seed on your floorboard it was a felony. I think it was ridiculous, but if that is the law for everyone I am okay with it.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent.

Dear righties:

They’ve locked in Sinema.



Kind of amazing how many bills Biden has managed to get passed in his first two years.

A big problem is the State Department is not going to want a public relations disaster of getting her release then her picking up where she left off with her hate for her country. Even under a Democrat amin the State Department will not want that.

Chances are she will end up a stud on the yard there and get released after 4-5 years. She will not have to listen to the US National Anthem she hates during this time. If "Locked Up Abroad" ("Banged Up Abroad" outside the USA) is still on they will pay for her story. Then some woke school district will hire her to coach girls basketball.
The President is a fink.

And you think that's a good thing.

'Sinema Signs Off On Reconciliation Bill After Dems Agree To Protect Private Equity Billionaires'

'Democrats agreed to preserve the so-called carried interest loophole that allows investment managers (like her former bosses) to shield the majority of their income from higher taxes.'

Even the CBO says the 'Inflation Reduction Act Won't Reduce Inflation".

CBO found:

The so-called “Inflation Reduction Act” will not reduce inflation. In fact, the bill could slightly increase inflation in 2023. Further, extending Obamacare subsidies for the wealthy is an inflationary policy and would reduce incentives to work.

The U.S. economy shows signs of slowing and we could be in a recession right now.

The 15% corporate minimum tax reduces incentives for businesses to invest in things like new factories and equipment.

Expect to see a lot more 'Made in Vietnam' products, as manufacturers flee the country.

San Francisco Fed president Mary Daly, net worth $60 million:

"I don't feel the pain of inflation anymore," "I see prices rising, but I have enough that I can make substitutions."

Yup
It's a good thing
You are using a source that doesn't use his real name
WTF
Tyler Durden is not a source due to the source being sourseless. An anonymous source are the worst sources. But hey, if the source lies about his name, must be good enough for you :-)

Biden can't risk leaving her there ahead of the mid-terms, and be called a 'racist'. The black vote rules.

He will give Putin anything he wants. Including Ukraine, if necessary.

Anything to satisfy the black voters.
