Biden’s GDP Growth Rate Falls in June to an Abysmal 1% Annual Rate – IT’S A DISASTER

The GDP Growth rate under Biden has fallen to an abysmal 1%.  Biden’s economy is a self-made disaster.

The Atlanta Fed is now reporting an expected annual GDP growth rate of 1% based on today’s horrible jobs report:

The GDPNow model estimate for real GDP growth (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in the third quarter of 2021 is 1.3 percent on October 8, unchanged from October 5. After this morning’s releases of the employment situation report by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics and the wholesale trade report from the US Census Bureau, an increase in the nowcast of third-quarter real gross private domestic investment growth from 10.5 percent to 10.7 percent was offset by a decrease in the nowcast of third-quarter real personal consumption expenditures growth from 1.1 percent to 1.0 percent.

The Atlanta FED shows the decline in the rate projections.  They are falling off the page.

One analysis shows that Biden’s GDP decreased in June and has decreased from a projected annual rate of 6.7% to 2.2%.  Either way, this is no recovery.  It’s going the wrong way.

Stolen elections have consequences.

Gross. Madonna Crawls Across Desk, Flashes Audience on Jimmy Fallon’s “Tonight Show” (VIDEO)

63-year-old Madonna flashed Jimmy Fallon’s audience Thursday evening during an appearance on the “Tonight Show.”

The aging singer slid across Fallon’s desk before jumping up and flashing the audience.

“Artists are here to disturb the peace,” Madonna said. “And so, I hope that I have disturbed not only your peace this afternoon but people’s peace while they watch the show, but I mean that in the best way.”

“Oh yeah, you get in good trouble,” Fallon said.

“Good trouble,” Madonna said.

“Yeah, you really do,” Fallon said as Madonna jumped up on his desk.

“Oh, no, no, no! Stop it!” Fallon said as he tried to cover Madonna with his suit jacket.

“No one’s going to see anything, my God!” Madonna said flashing her surgically enhanced backside to the audience.

Gross.

Florida Designates $53 Million Annually for Indian River Lagoon Cleanup Projects

Florida Designates $53 Million Annually for Indian River Lagoon Cleanup Projects

Florida governor Ron DeSantis announced last month that more than $53 million of much-needed funding will be earmarked to for 13 improvement projects in the Indian River Lagoon that lies southeast of Orlando. Florida Today reports that DeSantis also pledged to provide a similar amount of funding each year to improve water quality of this important waterway, which has been the focus of serious water quality concerns in recent years.

DeSantis made the announcement at Sebastian Inlet State Park, which is south of Cape Canaveral and near the shores of the Indian River south of Cape Canaveral. The badly-needed funding will support 13 cleanup projects, including updating several sewage treatment plants, which are blamed for increasing the amount of algae entering entering the Indian River Lagoon. Another approved project is to eliminate more than 3,000 septic tanks along the river, which experts say harm the water quality of the ecosystem.

“These projects are estimated to reduce total nitrogen by nearly 265,000 pounds per year and reduce total phosphorus by nearly 43,000 pounds per year,” DeSantis announced.

The projects to improve water quality have been needed for years, according to anglers, guides, and other concerned stakeholders like Captains for Clean Water. The once-lush seagrass beds that are the lifeblood of the Indian River estuary have suffered massive die-offs thanks to algae and other water quality issues. Grass beds in the river are estimated at less than half what they were just 10 years ago. This diminished grass food supply has in part fueled the largest manatee die-off in Florida history. A record of nearly 1,000 manatees have died in Florida so far this year, with 320 of those deaths occurring in Brevard County, which is home to the Indian River estuary. Without healthy seagrass, the health of other native species like gamefish—including snook, seatrout, tarpon, and many others—have tanked, too.

The governor said this Indian River Lagoon funding is part of an overall designation of $114 million that will fund water-quality improvement projects throughout Florida.

“Expediting water quality restoration has been one of my top priorities,” DeSantis said. “The Indian River Lagoon covers 40 percent of Florida’s East Coast and is one of our state’s most iconic and critical natural resources, contributing an estimated $2 billion annually for tourism and recreation, and $767 million to the marine industry.

Maine Is Asking Whitetail Hunters to Kill More Does

Maine Is Asking Whitetail Hunters to Kill More Does
Maine needs deer hunters to harvest more does.

Maine wildlife officials say more doe deer must be harvested to manage the state’s herd better. To allow that, the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (DIFW) is reviewing its harvest permit system to make it more liberal, allowing hunters to collect more does during next year’s season.

“Over the past handful of years, we’ve kind of reached a plateau or a threshold where we’re just not able to achieve any significant increase in the harvest of antlerless deer despite issuing a lot of permits,” DIFW Wildlife Division Director Nathan Webb told the Bangor Daily News.

A record 153,910 any-deer permits were issued this year to hunters, allowing a hunter to tag an antlerless deer or a buck with antlers less than 3 inches. That’s 43,920 more permits than the previous season when hunters collected 14,020 antlerless deer, including 9,120 adult does and 4,900 fawns.

But that’s not enough antlerless whitetails to properly manage the state’s deer herd.

“Our projections indicate that for every 10 issued permits we harvest one adult doe,” says Webb.

One favored proposal, according to the Bangor News, would change the any-deer permit to an antlerless one. Rather than choosing between shooting a buck and a doe, a hunter could harvest an additional doe in a specific Wildlife Management District.

Hunters would then have two tags and could shoot two deer.

The change would increase the harvest of antlerless deer, but also would reduce the number of permits issued, according to state deer biologist Nathan Bieber.

“We don’t want people sitting in their deer stand on opening day and watching all these does go by thinking, ‘oh, if only it were the last day I would take one of these,’” Bieber said. “Instead, they could say, ‘I’ve got an antlerless permit now and I can still buck hunt afterwards. I’ll take one of these does and then I’ll just keep hunting for a buck later.

“Underlying all proposals is the desire to put permits in the hands of people who are more likely to use them.”

Any-deer permits have been free to all applicants since Maine implemented the antlerless deer permit system in 1986. One state proposal would charge for an antlerless deer permit.

“People are going to be less likely to apply for permits if there’s a fee attached and they’re not going to use it,” Bieber said. “We want to incentivize people to actually use the permits.”

State wildlife officials are expected in January to present final proposals to the Legislature for implementation of a new doe deer permit system for next year’s Maine deer hunting.

Field & Stream Bought a $33,000 Duck Stamp Contest Entry. Here’s Why.

Field & Stream Bought a $33,000 Duck Stamp Contest Entry. Here’s Why.
The duck stamp contest entry named “Duck Hunt.”. Artwork by Eric Joyner

Duck hunters, and most hunters, are familiar with the successful and humble duck stamp program. If you want to hunt migratory waterfowl, you must buy a $25 federal stamp. That money goes to conserving and improving wetlands and prairie habitat, which grow more ducks. For decades this program has been clipping along without much fanfare until last week, when John Oliver aired this video highlighting, and poking a little fun at, the annual duck stamp contest.

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver commissioned their own duck stamp contest entries (which you can see below or here) that are equal parts awesome and ridiculous. That video brought the duck stamp to a national audience—it now has more that 2 million views. But here’s the cool part: Last Week Tonight auctioned off its duck stamp contest entries with all the proceeds going to the federal duck stamp program.

The joke entries commissioned by Last Week Tonight. Bestduckingstamps.com

The highest bidder, who dropped a cool $33,200 for the most expensive stamp, just happened to be the folks who own Field & Stream (they own Outdoor Life as well). But why?

Well, it turns out that a Field & Stream editor helped develop and promote the duck stamp program in the first place. Read current F&S editor-in-chief Colin Kearn’s story on that here.

 In many ways, it’s fitting that the company that owns our titles, Recurrent, is now throwing down money to help support and promote a federal conservation program that F&S helped create.

“Recurrent commits funds every year for nature-based solutions to climate change because conservation and sustainability are vital to our company’s mission,” says North Equity Managing Partner Matt Sechrest. “This was a unique opportunity for us to support conservation while honoring Field & Stream and Ray Holland. We’re really proud of all the Duck Stamp program has accomplished over the years—thanks in large part to Field & Stream and Outdoor Life readers and writers—and hope this renewed enthusiasm will help the program continue to thrive for years to come.”

Over the years, the duck stamp program has generated more than $1.1 billion for wetland habitat conservation. More than six million acres have been acquired using federal duck stamp revenue. The Last Week Tonight auction has raised more than $100,000 (or the equivalent of 4,000 stamps) for the program.

Maybe someday Kearns and I will take Sechrest to a public wetland that’s been conserved through the program his dollars are now helping fund. And whether you’re a John Oliver fan or not, for the $100k that his bit raised in the name of good fun and waterfowl habitat, I’d invite him too.

Fairfax County, Virginia Public Schools Have Also Signed on to a Million Dollar CRT ‘Education’ Package with AG Garland’s Son’s Company Panorama

Fairfax County, Virginia Public Schools Have Also Signed on to a Million Dollar CRT ‘Education’ Package with AG Garland’s Son’s Company Panorama

Another school district is using the Panorama material distributed by the Attorney General’s son-in-law and it’s spending more than a million in doing so.

On Monday US Attorney General Merrick Garland ordered his FBI to mobilize against parents who oppose the racist critical race theory (CRT) at school and other local board meetings across the country.

AG Merrick Garland Instructs FBI to Mobilize Against Parents Who Oppose Critical Race Theory, Covid Mandates in Public Schools

Then Wednesday we revealed the fact that AG Garland’s son-in-law runs a company that sells CRT literature across the country.  This is big business and very profitable.  His company is named Panorama.

AG Garland Threatens Parents Who Criticize Critical Race Theory (CRT) – His Son-In-Law Sells CRT Books to Schools

Then last night we found out Panorama material is being used in the Clayton, Missouri School District in St. Louis County.

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Clayton Missouri School District Is Using US AG Garland’s Son-In-Law’s Panorama Books Pushing CRT – Is Your District Too?

Now we find out that the large county next to Washington DC, Fairfax County in Virginia is paying millions for Panorama material used to poison the minds of children there as well.

The Fairfax Times reported in late September.

Fairfax County Public Schools quietly signed a five-year contract to pay an out-of-state consulting firm, Panorama Education, $1,845,600 from COVID emergency funds for a “Social Emotional Learning Universal Screener” program that will collect personal and private data on 190,000 students districtwide and implement “interventions.”

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his physician wife Priscilla Chan are investors in Panorama Education, raising concerns among northern Virginia parents about the consulting firm collecting confidential student information and engaging in the controversial practice of “data mining,” on the pretense of “social and emotional learning,” known as “SEL.”

What’s more, in fine print in the contract, Fairfax County Public Schools says that Panorama Education, listed as “the Company,” has special status with the school district, stating: “…the Company and its Authorized Representatives shall be deemed to be school officials of the School Board, and shall maintain FCPS Confidential Student Records in accordance with all federal state and local laws, rules and regulations regarding the confidentiality of such records.”

The news of the “SEL Screener” has angered parents, already struggling with COVID-19 challenges. “It’s outrageous FCPS is collaborating with a for-profit company funded by Mark Zuckerberg – a fact not transparently relayed to parents,” said Tiffany McCaslin, a Fairfax County mother. “Any involvement by a social media giant with surveys examining students’ mental health is reprehensible.”

Here is a page from Panorama’s web page.

Who else is receiving this ‘education’?

Liberal Analyst Warns Democrats in Deep Trouble for Next Decade — And Explains Why They Lied about the “Peaceful Protesters” Burning and Pillaging America’s Cities

Liberal Analyst Warns Democrats in Deep Trouble for Next Decade — And Explains Why They Lied about the “Peaceful Protesters” Burning and Pillaging America’s Cities

Black Lives Matter-Antifa mobs caused over one billion dollars in damages in cities across America last year in 2020. In Minneapolis alone, Black Lives Matter mobs damaged or destroyed over 1,500 businesses or buildings.

Over 700 police officers were injured in the BLM riots — and that was back in June when the rioting was just getting going!

Black Lives Matter was linked to conservatively 91% of the riots that resulted in the most expensive property damage in US insurance history

Democrats incited the Black Lives Matter mobs for months as they destroyed communities across the country and insisted they were “peaceful protesters.”

There was a reason for this.

Studies found that when protests are described as “peaceful” or “non-violent” they tend to increase Democratic vote.

So despite the fact that cities were burning and being destroyed the liberal media insisted the protests were “mostly peaceful.”

John Sexton at HotAir has more on this phenomenon.

On May 28, 2020, just three days after George Floyd was murdered by a police officer and the country was erupting with sometimes violent protests, progressive data analyst David Shor issued a warning about the efficacy of riots:

The research wasn’t his own. He was merely acting as a messenger. But at that particular moment in time, Shor became the enemy for a lot of outraged people. He was accused of being a racist. He apologized but the company that had employed him decided to side with the mob calling for his head and fired him.

Today, Ezra Klein published a piece about Shor’s work since then. Getting canceled ultimately worked out really well for him. He gained a reputation as a data analyst who wasn’t willing to soften his message into something the client might want to hear. He founded his own company called Blue Rose Research where he’s been building an electoral simulation designed to predict what is likely to happen over the next decade in American politics. And once again, he has a message for Democrats that they are not going to like.

Democrats know their popularity is in the tank. They can only hope they are able to continue to steal elections in order to keep in power.
Hey, it worked for the Marxists!

Manchin Buries His Head in His Hands, Tells Schumer His Unhinged Senate Speech Attacking Republicans Was “F*cking Stupid”

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Wednesday caved to Joe Biden and said he would agree to a debt limit increase through December.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on Thursday filed cloture to end debate and the senate voted Thursday evening.

The Senate voted 61-38 to end debate and advance the debt limit increase bill.

The US Senate then held a final vote on raising the debt limit after voting to end debate.

A simple majority was required.

The Senate voted 50-48 to raise the debt limit by $480 billion.

But this still wasn’t good enough for Chuck Schumer.

Schumer shouted from the senate floor late Wednesday evening and blasted Republicans.

Democrat Senator Joe Manchin was seen burying his head in his hands as Schumer went on an unhinged tirade.

VIDEO:

According to Punch Bowl News, Manchin told Schumer his shouting speech from the Senate floor after the debt limit vote was “f*cking stupid.”

Senator Thune also confronted Schumer on the floor and told him his speech was out of line.

“We’re Not Going to Comply” – Steve Bannon Announces on War Room He Will Not Testify Before Jan. 6th Committee (VIDEO)

Former Trump Chief Strategist Steve Bannon told his War Room audience on Friday he will not be testifying before the Jan. 6th Committee.

President Trump urged his supporters to ignore the subpoenas to appear before the Democrat, and Liz Cheney’s, struggle session.

Bannon told his audience: “Just updating people The Hill reporting, “Bannon bucks the Jan. 6 subpoena” Breaking news on CNN, Maggie Habermann from The New York Times has actually tweeted out even as we speak, my response, my letter basically saying President Trump had told the committee he’s exerting executive privilege. And until we hear how that plays out we are not going to comply. So, there you have it. Pretty straightforward.”

Here is the video.

!function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src=”https://rumble.com/embedJS/u5o49d”+(arguments[1].video?’.’+arguments[1].video:”)+”/?url=”+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+”&args=”+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, “script”, “Rumble”);

Rumble(“play”, {“video”:”vkvbix”,”div”:”rumble_vkvbix”});

Bannon’s attorneys sent a formal letter to the January 6th Commission telling them he will not be testifying before them. Bannon also told The Daily Mail, “I stand with Trump.”
This must have ruined Liz Cheney’s day!
