Was on a service call today, somebody's house out in the sticks of NWIL.  From the the looks of it they have a nice little side business selling "Let's Go Brandon!" t-shirts, coasters and knick-knacks.

A friend and his family moved to the area where I grew up in 1981 or so. Their purchase mortgage on their house was in the 15% range.

When my first wife and I bought our first house just north of Seattle in 1982, our interest rate was 16%, after we paid points to bring it down from 18%.

Biden's aides also confirmed he will be making amends with the black community by inviting Jesse Jackson to the White House to sniff his hair.

Instead of Jesse Jackson, they should have made it Du Bois. Come on, Bee! Bee better!

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Apparently there's a movement afoot by the left to turn "Let's Go, Brandon," into "Thank you, Brandon!", supposedly for all of the wonderful things he's done as president.

One of my friends on Faceplace posted a response to one of the memes I posted talking about how "facts" are important and attached a Thank you Brandon pic with his supposed accomplishments...

Real wages up 9%, GDB doubled (yeah, that's a *expletive deleted*ing laugh riot) and some other crap.

So I posted back... yep, facts ARE important!

Inflation the highest it's been in 30 years.

Consumer sentiment the worst it's been in a decade.

Real wages going BACKWARDS because any increase has been eaten up by inflation.

Crude oil nearly doubling in price since January.

Gasoline up over $1 a gallon since January.

Natural Gas up something like 75% since January.

And a few other fun Brandon facts.

Oddly enough, she's not responded... Wonder why?

I really, really want one of these dipshits to tell me in person why my $2.50/hr raise this year being wiped the hell out by the increases in living costs is a good thing.

So far none of them are brave enough.

The people at Summit Meats in Pulaski County tell us they have been able to keep prices stable for most of the holiday-type meats, such as turkey and ham. However, they say for other types of meat, the prices have skyrocketed, some of them going up 200% to 300%.

Sadly, with help and "curating" from the MSM and big tech, they might actually succeed in that, and the next thing you know, Snopes will be reporting that any negative connotations to LGB are fake news.

Trump probably does bear a fair share of blame for the inflation we have now.  The federal reserve created a horrifically huge amount of fiat dollars during his last year of office.  Trump appointed most of the chairmen of the board of the fed that did this.

Creating a lot of money without economic growth behind it leads to inflation.  Which is exactly what we are seeing now.   None of this was hard to predict.

Trump was a pretty good president until his 2020 fiscal irresponsibility.

I am not saying Biden financially responsible either- he appears to be much worse. 

It is like the entire federal government views value of money as something to be looted and destroyed as fast as possible.   :mad:

I'm not Terribly averse to going back to "*expletive deleted*ck Joe Biden". Much harder to spin to something favorable.

Certainly one thing I was unhappy about under Trump was his continued call for even lower interest rates than the abnormally low rates we already have. That can help short term and make an administration look good, but the long term effects are not good.

Lightweight.  Gas pump clicked to a stop for me today, not because the tank was full, but I'd hit the $100 visa limit.

I will be picking up a new truck someday in the future in IA and driving back to NV. I just hope the prices don't climb in the next 5-6 months like they have in the last 6. If they do I can't even imagine what it will cost to fill up several times on the trip home. :(
