According to CNN, “The U.S. economy has now regained all jobs lost during the pandemic, after a blowout July jobs report that showed a gain of 528,000 jobs, according to data released Friday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The massive monthly gain was more than double the 250,000 that economists were expecting, according to Refinitiv. The unemployment rate ticked down to 3.5% after holding at 3.6% for the past four months. The July jobless rate matched the half-century low last seen in February 2020.”

Clearly, Biden has led us into the worst economic crisis the U.S. has ever witnessed! But of course! This is what a recession looks like: Jobs continue to grow, and unemployment hits a 50-year low. But gas prices! This is why we have professionals who officially define when a recession begins and ends, for if we left it to the general dumbassery of citizens, then we’d always be in a recession because the average idiot American is never happy with the economy. If the economy slows, they’re out of a job and can’t pay for anything. If the economy is on fire, then they have work but still can’t pay for anything because inflation is characteristic of an overheated economy. I assert that people really are in the same situation, if not better, as they were during “normal” economic growth. Allow me to explain.

So, as shown in the above chart, I dived into my FactSet to pull two pieces of familiar information for comparison. (I know it’s small, but you can chart this information yourself — it’s all public information.) The consumer price index (CPI) and wage growth are two data points the MSM and economists love to compare side by side, so I will, too, but over 15 years, not year over year or month over month. The solid green line represents total CPI, and you can see the current sharp increase to the right, which tops out at 9 percent. That number has been all over the news — ad nauseam. The solid blue line is nominal wage (average hourly earnings) growth. Again, you can see the peak to the right, around 6 percent. This, too, should be another familiar number reported in the news. The two dotted straight lines are trendlines (via linear regression) over the entire span of 15 years — admittedly, this is an arbitrary time selection. In short, the trendlines indicate the gap between inflation and wage growth. For the last 15 years, inflation outpaced wage growth by about 1 to 2 percentage points. (For comparison, a 30-year time frame yielded nearly parallel trendlines separate by 1.5 percentage points.) In fact, the trendline gap shrinks considerably in 2021 and 2022. It has only been since March 2022 that the gap between the two solid lines diverged to a degree greater than historic norms. What does all this mean? Except for the last couple of months, one may argue that people are struggling no more or no less than what they have been for the previous 15 years (or 30 years) when it comes to their income keeping up with inflation.

For some reason, Americans seem to think the entire economy has fallen off a cliff for over a year now despite more job creation and wage growth lagging inflation by margins no worse than what almost all working people have experienced in the last 15 or 30 years. It is a matter of perspective, and people have no perspective or memory beyond what they ate for breakfast. As usual, idiots judge the economy more by feelings and emotions than facts and figures. As I have said countless times already, morons or America think they understand the economy by looking at gas prices. The populace piles on when the MSM laments a few poor economic indicators. Suddenly, that 25 cents extra for a pound of chicken feels like a burden and eats away at every last dollar of a paycheck, and it’s all Biden’s fault. It’s a no-win situation for him because America — stupid!

Axios reports, “Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, the Democratic nominee for the state’s U.S. Senate seat, will hold his first campaign rally since suffering a stroke in May.” Oh, thank God. I was starting to worry about proof of life! As long as he does not slur his words or appear confused, then he’s a shoo-in to win. However, any sign of cognitive damage could ruin him. Fingers crossed!

Reporting from the Tampa Bay Times, “Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday removed Hillsborough County State Attorney Andrew Warren from office for what he said was Warren’s disregard for his duty to enforce state laws, including a pledge not to prosecute people receiving an abortion or their doctors performing them. … The suspension, which stunned observers, removed one of the state’s most outspoken prosecutors. Warren, a Democrat, has been a frequent critic of DeSantis, a Republican. … DeSantis’ order does not cite examples of Warren not prosecuting individual cases. The state has no laws on gender-affirming care that Warren could refuse to prosecute. Instead, DeSantis’ order points to Warren’s public comments on abortion, transgender issues and office policies Warren has adopted.”

This is DeSantis using his political power to punish duly elected officials just as he punishes corporations (Disney), professional teams (Tampa Bay Rays), universities, the gays and schools, and the Special Olympics, to name a few. He’s just a purely vengeful governor, but guess what? People and Floridians love his cruelty and spitefulness because this is stupid, hateful America. Look, f***tards. I don’t know how often I have to say it and post about it — America is dying. Americans prefer their autocratic leaders who would lead through pure vengeance and hatred against a few instead of governing for all. Americans don’t mind that a minority rules over the majority. Americans are just too stupid and uninvolved to care about saving America and democracy, which is why and how DeSantis can wield his power with one of the highest approval ratings nationwide and and approval that bests Biden. Americans love that their guy is inflicting pain on others and demonizing others. And DeSantis is going to get re-elected because of everything he is doing to minorities. This is the future of America. Mark my words, f***tards! The signs are everywhere, from Florida to Arizona! Welcome to stupid America! The end is coming in plain sight! But whatever. No one cares. Oh, well.

Alex Jones is a merchant of lies, conspiracy theories, and pure hatred. Yet, the man is still alive. He still roams the face of the planet. Despite his infectious broadcasts spreading lies and hate to millions of morons like a poison that eventually kills, he is as famous and rich as ever because America is the land of morons and dups. I guess I just answered my own question, at least partly — I see why he thrives. Alex Jones remains above ground because stupid America loves him; they demand (and receive) what he’s peddling: Conspiracy theories, lies, hatred, and stupidity. There is a reason why he’s rich. There are millions upon millions upon millions who love him. And this is the America that is expected to survive? I don’t see how. So, now I must ask the question again: Why have Americans allowed Alex Jones to live? He is a cancer in America, yet no one has excised him from the American body. I’m tired of being nice and fair and understanding and sympathetic and empathetic. Many, many American citizens should not be allowed to live in this country (or at all). Who will stop Alex Jones? You? You? Or you? This is a call to action. Who will save America from Alex Jones before it’s too late?

According to The New York Times, “Viktor Orbán, the prime minister of Hungary who is revered by a wing of the American political right, spoke as an opening day headliner at a conservative event in Texas after he was condemned for his recent comments opposing a ‘mixed-race’ society.” And The Hill reports, “The Hungarian leader said he had come to Texas to tell the audience ‘how you should fight. My answer is play by your own rules. … We must coordinate a movement of our troops because we face the same challenge,’ he continued, calling the 2022 midterm elections and 2024 presidential and congressional elections part of ‘the fight for civilization.’ Orbán emphasized Hungary’s hard-line policies criminalizing illegal migration and restricting marriage and adoption for same-sex couples.” He basically came to America to incite a call to arms and to hate on the gays (of course). Forty percent of America loves him for it and wants more. America cannot survive! I keep telling you, idiots!

This is the future of America, f***tards: An autocracy with a scoop of theocracy on the side because one of the two major political parties in America is all in on ending America’s democracy and enacting their wet dream of a nation where white supremacy, misogyny, anti-gay hate, racism, and all the other -ists and isms are not only accepted but codified. I wish people would wake the f*** up in America and, indeed, around the world. I have written about this endlessly, but there is a reason why authoritarianism is ascending, and democracy is dying across the globe, including America. And I don’t give one G.D. f*** about the surprise ballot victory that kept Nebraskans’ constitutional protection to abortions. I’m hearing it all over progressive media and talk shows: Nebraska is proof the tide is turning for Democrats in the midterms. Ugh! No! It’s! Not! Dumbass Democrats think holding the House and the Senate is tantamount to winning the war. Not! If Democrats retain the House by some miracle of God, it’s just one battle won in a long war. Nonetheless, RepubliKKKlans have been planning and planting the seeds of destruction of America’s democracy for decades. Indeed, until traitor trump, those seeds lay dormant, waiting for the deluge that is the MAGA movement, conspiracy theory critical mass, and, of course, SCOTUS.

To be sure, hateful attitudes have been with America from the moment the first Europeans set foot on the continent. We are far from the City upon a Hill. With the counterculture and social revolution of the 1960s, such hatreds were suppressed and forced into the fringes of polite society. Certainly, no political party would make hate a central plank of their platform. Then came traitor trump. Now the hate, anger, grievance, and white Christian nationalism are out in the open, on full display — embraced, revered, and accepted by 40 percent of the American population and ignored by the rest. The 60 percent who are too stupid, too lazy, or too self-involved to care will soon find themselves being ruled over by the tyrannical minority. The modern world has seen this movie before! Nazis came to power with never having won more than 40 percent of the vote! The end is coming, but whatever. RepubliKKKlans, MAGA morons, evil evangelicals, and QAnon kooks are openly discussing the end of America’s democracy, and no one is listening. Wake up, people, especially the LGBTQ community! Welcome to stupid America!

According to The Hill, “Republicans touting former President Trump’s unfounded claims that the 2020 election was stolen saw victories across the map in Tuesday’s primaries, raising questions — and, for many, concerns — about what will happen in November’s general elections. … The potential elevation of election deniers into roles such as governor and attorney general, which could directly impact an election, has alarmed some observers. … For now the question is whether candidates who questioned the 2020 election can win in November. But some are already looking ahead to a different question: If they do, will they use their offices to contest future elections? ‘That’s certainly not just a possibility but more and more a probability,’ Heye said. ‘The reality is for those Republican election deniers, they only deny the elections they want to deny.’”

What happens when you put election-denying politicians in positions to run and certify elections who believe any election their party did not win must have been rigged and, therefore, should be overturned? (Of course, nevermind the fact that said politicians supposedly allowed corrupted elections to happen on their watch, meaning they couldn’t do their job competently in the first place, but their flawed logic never stops these morons, who ran on restoring election “integrity.”) So, what happens to a state and, indeed, a nation where every election is contested, and the final results are determined by the opinion of RepubliKKKlan election proctors or by RepubliKKKlan state legislatures in favor of their own party? What happens to a nation where everyone in the RepubliKKKlan Party simply refuses to believe election results in which they did not win? What happens? The end of democracy is what happens. We are on our way, morons. Mark my words!

Look, f***tards! Denying elections is nothing new; it is as old as elections themselves, and it is as old as the founding of America. The end of America’s democracy will not happen overnight and will not occur in a single or a couple of elections, but it has started and is accelerating. Indeed, RepubliKKKlans have been waiting for this moment for decades. What is this moment? The moment of conservative momentum spreading throughout America; the moment of a captured SCOTUS who is hell-bent on voter suppression and bolstering RepubliKKKlan dogma; the moment of their strongman traitor trump holding up a mirror to MAGA morons and the nation falling in love with the reflection; the moment of unapologetic white supremacy and conspiracy theories become the backbone of the RepubliKKKlan Party; and the moment of being able to finally install people to rig future elections to take and hold power indefinitely. Mark my words! This time, unlike our previous 245-year history, is, in fact, different — very different. And citizens are copacetic with it! Welcome to stupid America!

I quote a RepubliKKKlan strategist, Stuart Stevens, “Here’s a simple message for Democrats: attack, attack, attack. A governing party vs a party obsessed with bathrooms and bedrooms. You can win. There are more of you than them. Walk with confidence. Go out and take it.” Yes! Yes! Yes! I promise that I’m not an undercover RepubliKKKlan trolling my readers, but RepubliKKKlans know how to fight, which I admire. Unfortunately, there is virtually no political and absolutely no social policy with which I agree.

Then I stumbled across an article from The Hill titled “Democrats want Biden to go scorched-earth on GOP.” It goes on to say, “After all, the party was up against Donald Trump, a man who seemed to find joy in making personal attacks part of his daily routine. But nearly six years later, the party that pledged to play nice is fed up. Democrats are tired of being stomped on by the opposition. They hate the public perception of President Biden as a president in peril. And the conservative Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade is pushing them past their limits. Going low suddenly seems more appealing, some Democrats now say.” One would think.

But this is what we actually get: Dumbass Democrats still live Michele Obama’s mantra: “When they go low, we go high.” OMG! F***ing kill me now with that pathetic sh*t. I swear to God that B.S. mentality has burrowed itself so deep into Democrats’ ethos the party may as well be a walking zombie. They act like it! The scorched earth wing needs to start flexing its muscles and pull Democrats out of their weak posture. But this is stupid America!

The opening line of articles across the MSM is the same in describing the result of the constitutional right to abortion question on the Kansas primary ballot. CNN writes representatively, “Kansas voters sent a dramatic message on Tuesday, opting to maintain the right to an abortion in their state’s constitution just weeks after the US Supreme Court decided to overturn Roe v. Wade.” I heard the word “thunderbolt” used frequently. Lord knows I was surprised. I did not think the specific question would survive in such a red state. But turnout was twice the norm for a midterm primary, so indeed, there was motivation. I guess people do care, after all. In fact, the ballot result was right in line with national polling; roughly 60 percent support a woman’s right to choose. And to be sure, such a result could not have happened without crossover support from RepubliKKKlan voters. However, I think many are overstating the consequences of this Kansas result on the upcoming midterm elections. There is a vast difference between a ballot question and voting for a candidate of a particular party. As the crossover votes in Kansas prove, people will vote to keep a woman’s right to choose yet vote for anti-abortion lawmakers. So, what happens when there is no “crossover,” and the voter must choose all or nothing: Democrat or RepubliKKKlan? Because abortion rights in poll after poll rates so low on voters’ concerns, the electorate will gladly vote for anti-abortion candidates if the question itself is not on the ballot. Let me repeat: The abortion issue is not going to save Democrats in the midterm elections. Mark my words!

But fear not! RepubliKKKlans will learn from this mistake. They are already devising other ways to go around voters to strip women of their rights. Mark my words. They never stop, no matter what the populous wants. Kansas is merely a stumbling block, for if you look at the results from the rest of Tuesday’s primary elections, you’ll see Americans want crazy on the midterm ballot. Last night the Kansas abortion question victory was an anomaly. Consider what Kansas did otherwise. They nominated Kris Kobach as the RepubliKKKlan candidate for state attorney general. Yup! That guy is back. You can’t make this sh*t up. Welcome to stupid America! Stupid usually wins in the long run.

According to the Insider, “Former President Donald Trump issued an ambiguous statement backing ‘Eric’ in the Missouri GOP Senate, an endorsement that capitalized on a coincidence to encompass both Eric Greitens and Eric Schmitt. The borderline-comical decision was a deliberate way to get out of choosing, Politico reported in the wake of the endorsement. … The ambiguity caused chaos, with both candidates seizing on the statement to claim they had Trump’s favor. According to Politico’s sources, the ambiguity was not an error, but down to Trump’s inability to make up his mind between Greitens and Schmitt in time for a deadline he set himself.”

Of course! Traitor trump — the “leader” — doesn’t know how to lead. But this is par for the course for a party of f***tards who are elected to power by a country of morons. Traitor trump loves the show. He loves the ambiguity. He loves the attention. He loves the idea of “two men enter; one man leaves” drama. Moreover, it protects his king-maker record. No matter who wins, he’ll calm a perfect record for choosing the winner. He’ll claim no one can win without his endorsement. He’ll claim his importance to the party is undiminished. It’s just more of the same unserious buffoonery that his voters love. It never gets old for these morons. It’s the same schtick he’s been using his entire life: Look at me! I’m the winner, and I pick winners! I can’t go wrong! Yet, his MAGA moron followers eat it up because they’re too stupid. And he is the f***tard that poll after poll indicates voters want back in the White House. Whatever! I give up. Welcome to stupid America. “I’m Eric!”

According to NBC News, “Blindsided veterans erupted in anger and indignation Thursday after Senate Republicans suddenly tanked a widely supported bipartisan measure that would have expanded medical coverage for millions of combatants exposed to toxic burn pits during their service. … But in a move that shocked and confused veteran groups Wednesday night, 41 Senate Republicans blocked the bill’s passage, including 25 who had supported it a month ago. … The Senate passed the original legislation 84-14 in June. It underwent minor changes when it moved to the House, where it passed 342-88. When the bill returned to the Senate, the bill had not changed much but the view — and vote — of 25 senators did.”

And then from The Washington Post, “The Senate had passed the bill Wednesday in a 64-33 vote. Days earlier, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) had said there would be bipartisan support for the bill’s passage in the House and vowed to send it to Biden’s desk as soon as possible. At the time, House Republican leaders had planned to let their rank and file vote their conscience on the bill. However, after the stunning news Wednesday night of a deal between Sen. Joe Manchin III (D-W.Va.) and Democratic leaders on a separate climate, health-care and taxes bill, House GOP leaders urged members to oppose the chips bill as retribution, in an effort to deny Biden and Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) a legislative win.”

RepubliKKKlans hate Democrats so much that they will side with China and stab veterans in the back. Yet! Yet, time after time and election after election, the American voter always votes for RepubliKKKlans because they are the “pro” America and “pro” military party when, in fact, they are not. But stupid America always believes their lies. I totally give up. I really, truly f***ing give up with this country of f***tards. It never fails. It never f***ing fails. RepubliKKKlans claim to be the America first party, but they vote and legislate as the America last party, yet no one calls them out on it. Idiot America votes for them anyway because I live in stupid hell. Welcome to stupid America. We vote for the stupid party here, and we like it!
