Who are these people that got a 20% pay increase over the last 2 years? I used to be comfortable middle class. I know who isn't keeping up.

I do not understand where this 20% rise in pay nonsense is derived from. Certainly not from pay raises to people in their current role. Maybe offers made to new hires have risen, so if you quit your job, go someplace else, zero out your seniority, maybe you'd see some of that largesse. Although I doubt it given the softening of hiring at this point in the economic cycle.

I would argue few to no people have received a 20% pay hike since covid let alone in the past year or so. As Rush would say this is pure Barbara Streisand. As much of a Red Herring as their statements of price abatement.

Pneumonia cases rise in China.

Like we will fall for that again.

Let me guess around January sudden rises in cases and then an announcement of a breakout of new virus. Lockdowns masks and above all else. Mail in ballots.

Well if that does happen you know what the republicans need to capitalize and get out there and harvest millions of votes.

One of the sportswriters calling for the cancellation of the ‘double-racist’ 9 year old kid at the Chiefs football game is a guy named Dan Le Batard.

Le Batard is French for “The Bastard.”

As are all who are this mind-numbingly “woke” and stupid.

Democrats are "with" which ever side they think can garner the most votes, right or wrong is not important to them. I would sincerely like to see someone personally deal with those vicious humans who attacked a little kid for dressing up and painting his face to support his team. I will volunteer. So all the establishment is going all in on Haley. Makes me sure my choice of DeSantis was correct. With Haley, we get more of the same crap of making promises and then the excuses as to why we couldn't keep our promises. Not interested.

I hope that kid or his parents do like Nick Sandmann did and sue them into bankruptcy.

DeSantis's interview on the PBD podcast was worth watching. He did a great job.

The Koch endorsement is the kiss of death for Haley. No group has done more harm to the American middle class than the Koch conglomerate. They have sold America out under the guise of conservatism for years. Truly despicable.

I'm a conservative/libertarian-leaning woman. It's been fascinating to me how many women I know from different walks of life and political affiliations who can't stand Nikki Haley. While Haley's reminding us that she's wearing 5-inch heels and calling Vivek "scum," my girlfriends and I are siding with Vivek in their little dustups.

Let the anti-Vivek arrows fly; I'm used to it, and I've heard it all. In the meantime, I'm watching him in every interview I can get my eyes on. He has yet to lose me as a supporter. I highly recommend Vivek's latest on Dave Smith's Part of the Problem or Glenn Greenwald's System Update. Both are excellent.

While my choice at this time is DeSantis, I also like Vivek. And Haley is going dropping in my lineup every time I hear her or see who endorses her.

While my choice is Vivek, I also like DeSantis! It irks me to no end that we finally have the ideal conservative candidate for president (DeSantis), someone tested and proven, and he can't get traction. What I like about Vivek is that he wants to radically cut the government. He's ambitious, libertarian-minded, and harkens back to Ron Paul.

I am so with you as are all my female friends. Sex is simply not an issue. Her war mongering is, as are her authoritarian tendencies.

Summer, 2024, young adults will be graduating college with tens - if not hundreds - of thousands in college loan debt.

They're likely not going to be able to find a job that'll pay enough to cover expensive rents, expensive utilities, expensive food and car payments..

They'll finally realize just how truly great 'Bidenomics' is.

Other young Dems will still be ticked at Biden for failing to pay off their student loan debt. Even more are ticked at Biden for his MidEast positions.

If even 20% of these folks stay home, Biden is in deep trouble in November. No wonder Dems are tryimg to get abortion referendums on as manu ballots as possible. But if they come out to vote on thar issue, they may vote for a third-party candidate or just not vote for Biden at all.
