“The economy is growing at a rapid rate, with the Atlanta Fed’s GDP estimate showing a five percent growth rate for the third quarter. Unemployment has fallen to 4.1 percent, a level below the Federal Reserve’s longer-term estimate of full employment. Jobless claims are running at the lowest levels since the late 1960s. Business investment is soaring. Manufacturing output and employment are rising. The purchasing managers’ indexes suggest a broad economic boom. Profits are soaring and the S&P 500 is up nearly 12 percent for the year. Consumer spending has remained robust, defying predictions that high gasoline prices would dampen buying elsewhere.” [Economic editor, John Carney, Breitbart 9-29-26]
AND YET … The Democratic Party media daily saturates people with bad news. “Gas prices are high, AI is going to incinerate us all, and bombing Iran has created Armageddon.” People believe the media, because most do not think; they merely feel. And the depressing tone of the one-Party media leads millions to feel, “Vote for affordability.” Which means: Communism. 90 percent tax rates, socialized everything, including government-run grocery stores. Guaranteed income for all. Of course Communism will lead to affordability. The shelves will be empty. Nobody will work; therefore, nothing will be produced. We are told that high gas prices will starve us. What about Communism? Isn’t that far worse than temporarily high gas prices that are still lower than during Biden?
I miss the days when at least SOME were willing to think. Today: it’s all feelings.
As Laurel Allen writes on Facebook:
“Gas over $4.00 a gallon sucks, but watching people pay $9.00 for a 12-ounce coffee with fake chocolate flavoring, a dash of foamed milk, and sprinkles—and then complain about gas prices—is deeply ironic.”
What’s left of the Iranian regime — in media outbursts (paid for by whom?) — urges American voters to reject President Trump and his party in November’s elections.
Of course they do.
Iran wants U.S. voters to strip Trump of power so they can obliterate Western civilization with their fanatical cult and engage in nuclear blackmail. And millions of U.S. voters stand ready to do it. What will their “affordability” matter with atomic barbarians at the gates and store shelves empty? But no worries. “Trans kids” will be OK. Utter madness.
