The sky isn't falling. Yes, we are going through difficult times, we did so in the past and we will do so in the future. I'm not worried about a thing. You know why? Because I don't depend on anyone but ourselves to get through difficult times and we are prepared.

There's a whole lot of fear and paranoia being spoon fed to the gullible out there on both sides. Stop drinking the kool aid and worry about yourself only. The sun will come up tomorrow. Go make it a good day. Better yet, get yourself prepared for hard times because they are cyclical.
Admittedly I also chuckled at the bolded.. but hey my bank has been more forgiving to NSF fees since Covid-19 hit

Our today’s government reminds me more of the Jerry Springer Show compared to when I was a kid.

It’s going to collapse, it’s just a matter of when.

In addition, race relations seemingly are at their lowest point in years, and will continue to get worse.

This is what happens when you enable and coddle certain groups in the worst ways possible. Lowering the standards, eliminating/reducing punishment for law breakers, ignoring all other hate crimes except for those committed against these groups, and basically rewarding bad behavior all around.

They let you fight over this fake left right divide for the scraps at the bottom like junkyard dogs. They want you to really hate Biden and the left to really hate Trump and not hate those at the top who are actively pillaging the country. The bank bailouts this week show the FEDS will take care of the wealthy. Its not a party thing but a take care of those who are at the top thing. Every time there is a quasi disaster looming the rich get richer. Every time.

I do think that the economy will look increasingly unhinged. High inflation, low unemployment. Various supply chain shortages yet people with money to buy things. Eventually all of this will hit the fan. But 6% inflation and 3.4% unemployment is not hitting the fan. If Trump was POTUS right now the same folks claiming a depression is right around the corner would take the same numbers and cheer how great things are because of Trump.
If Trump was in we would have oil coming out of every spicket and keep the shipping cost down and people will go to the pump and wouldn't be shocked. This fueled inflation. Biden's war on energy.

You can play with the nuclear strike simulator here:

30%. That's what the Bible says. And that's just from the beginning. If the days aren't shortened there would be no flesh left on Earth that was living.

If mailed in, the outside envelope has a bar code and the the voter must sign. The signatures are verified as is the barcode that ids who got the ballot and at what address. The voter can follow that bar code to be sure their ballot was received by the county.
They threw away the envelopes which was illegal this is what they said.

As far as unemployment rates same calculation under Trump and Biden. I don't know your point about 2 or 3 jobs. But they count people looking for work who cannot find a job.
Those unemployment numbers never show the amount of people that stopped looking for work because they just couldn't find any.

In spite of the useful idiots gaslighting and telling us it’s our imagination, anyone who pays attention knows better.
Tell the white race to start having more babies. There’s more people of color in the world than white people. Y’all were never the majority.

Trump got more votes in 2020 than in 2016 in California, but his percentage of the total is about the same.

Dude, it's not rocket science.
I bet a large percent of those votes are from illegals. Just give him a fake driver's license and it's done. Many illegals get fake papers.
