Biden says, no recession this year or next year.
Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd.........mark! Timing starts to see how long Biden's words age very, very badly.
Breitbart: Biden: U.S. Will Not Have a Recession This Year or Next Year.
President Joe Biden said Wednesday on “PBS NewsHour” that the United States would not have an economic recession this year or next year.
[.]
[JUDY] WOODRUFF: So when people at the Gallup Poll saying most Americans think next year the economy is going to be bad, do you think there’s going to be a recession?
BIDEN: No.
WOODRUFF: This year?
BIDEN: No. Or next year. From the moment I got elected, how many of the experts are saying within the next six months is going to be recession?
Well, we sure hope not, Cap'n Diaper. We already had 2Q's of negative growth last year:
PBS, July 29, 2022: U.S. just had 2nd quarter of negative growth.
al-Reuters, July 28, 2022: US Q2 GDP shows 2nd quarter of negative growth.
I don't think anyone can argue that Leni Riefenstahl's PBS and al-Reuters are two Right-Leaning publications. Both, and other news outlets, reported we had 2Q of negative growth last year.
Two consecutive Q's of negative growth have been the past definition of recession. Until last year, when other reasons were added to what defines a recession, meaning we were in a recession even though we weren't. "...Reasons..."
We're likely going to have a recession this year and next year. Because last year...no one could have predicted it. They didn't see it coming.

Fauci now admits the mRNA Covid vaccines hardly work.
Alex Berenson; Substack: Dr. Anthony Fauci now admits the mRNA Covid vaccines hardly work and might not be approvable.
We now have two years of real-world data on the mRNAs, based on billions of doses. Putting side effects aside, they work extremely well against Covid - for about four months after the second dose.
After that, their effectiveness rapidly wanes. It falls to zero against coronavirus infection and transmission within a few months. In fact, we have increasing evidence that it eventually turns negative - that vaccinated people are MORE likely to get Covid repeatedly than the unvaccinated.
[.]
...with repeated booster shots, our immune system will respond by producing a kind of antibody normally seen primarily as a response to non-replicating allergens, not viruses.
In other words, our immune systems appear to respond very unfavorably in the long run to the provocation from the mRNAs.
[.]
Fauci just helped spearhead the effort to push a new type of vaccine on the world. After only a few months of testing, the United States and other countries injected their citizens with more than 3 billion doses of mRNA.
Yet with these words, Fauci is admitting that effort has failed completely. He’s not excluding the mRNAs from “past unsuccessful attempts” that “have been a public health failure.” He’s not saying they can form the basis for “bold new paths.”
He’s washing his hands of them - and whatever the long-term consequences of their failed effort to rewire the immune system may be.
I'm old enough to remember when this kind of talk was a conspiracy theory and it meant you were an [ ♫ Cue Ominous Music ♬ ♩ ] anti-vaxxer.
How America Took Out The Nord Stream Pipeline.
Seymour Hersh; Substack: The New York Times called it a “mystery,” but the United States executed a covert sea operation that was kept secret — until now.
Biden’s decision to sabotage the pipelines came after more than nine months of highly secret back and forth debate inside Washington’s national security community about how to best achieve that goal.
But who is really making these decisions?

President Trump’s Response to the State of the Union 2/7/23.
2-minute video from DJT at RSBN: President Trump’s Response to the State of the Union 2023.
Say Good-night, Joe.
Biden's SOTUA: All lies. 50 years he and his other career Dems have had to do something about the cost of prescription drugs, among several other issues, but now...now they're going to fix it! Sure.
Everything wrong with the U.S., according to Joe's SOTUA, is due to greedy corporations overcharging customers, "hidden" late fees at resorts, Ticketmaster, cell phone companies charging users $200 to change their carrier - [ WHAT? Who are these people? - DD ] - late charges by credit card companies, which is rich coming from Biden who spent his lifetime whoring for them and his answer to these alleged problems is to regulate the companies more so we have a "little extra" money. According to Joe, the government is blameless.
Toaster Crumbs. What Biden offers are Toaster Crumbs.
Oh, and assault rifles are also to blame for everything, too, according to Resident Dementia.
Breitbart: SOTU Livewire. Chock full o' good stuff!
Biden makes his entrance.
And my only question is, what drugs did they inject? He's fucking lit! 💡
Will the medication sustain for over an hour?
Tonight on TV: Old Man Will Yell At Cloud.
Will any of Biden's illegitimate grandchildren be attending to watch grampy stare into the Tele-Prompter, scream, whisper and ramble on as his two remaining neurons short-circuit?
I believe Sec of Labor, Martin Walsh, who's leaving for Admin at the NHL, is tonight's Designated Survivor. So...the DS is an outgoing member of the Cabinet. That's reassuring!

Fully Vaxxed and Boosted Austin Mayor HAZ TEH COOF!
CBS Austin: Mayor Kirk Watson tests positive for COVID-19.
AUSTIN, Texas — Mayor Kirk Watson announced on Twitter Saturday morning that he tested positive for COVID-19.
He said he will abide by CDC protocols and isolate himself at home.
[.]
"Thankfully, I am fully vaccinated and boosted," Watson said.
The story doesn't say, but his symptoms? Oh, they can only be mild, right? Thankfully, he is fully vaccinated and boosted. Thankfully!
He's a Dem. Watson's never held a private sector job. Lifetime politician. Shocker!

Fire crews use 6,000 gallons of water to extinguish burning Tesla Model S whose battery spontaneously combusted.
Or, 4,500 gallons of water; the story mentions both amounts.
* Fire officials said that nothing was wrong with the car before it combusted.
* Approximately 6,000 gallons of water was used to extinguish the blaze.
[.]
It is unclear what caused the blaze,[.]
[.]
Firefighters arrived at the wrecking yard to find the Tesla fully engulfed in flames. Each time the firefighters attempted to extinguish the flames, the Tesla's battery would reignite the fire.
The fire department posted an Instagram video of the ordeal, saying that even when firefighters moved the Tesla onto its side to spray the battery directly, the car would burst into flames again 'due to the residual heat.'
Eventually, the firefighters dug a pit near the Tesla and moved the burning car into it and then filled the pit with water, 'effectively submerging the battery compartment.'
The technique worked, and the fire department was able to put out the fire with no injuries and 4,500 gallons of water used - about the same amount of water used for a building fire.
Fires generated from electric vehicles can be especially hazardous, as they generate over 100 organic chemicals including some potentially fatal toxic gasses like carbon monoxide and hydrogen cyanide.
Hazardous chemicals and fatal toxic gasses are good for the environment! 👍

I'm old enough to remember when this was a WILD conspiracy theory! 🤣
* The authors of a UN report into origins of pandemic believe cause was a lab leak.
* They have accused British and US scientists of helping China to suppress debate.
The authors of two United Nations reports into the origins of the pandemic say they believe a laboratory leak was the most likely cause of Covid-19, accusing top British and American scientists of helping China deliberately to suppress debate on the issue.
The distinguished professors hit out at the ‘cover-up’ in a damning joint article for The Mail on Sunday that calls for ‘re-evaluation of the likely pathways that caused this pandemic’.
They say ‘a pall of suspicious secrecy, deceit and conflicts of interest’ shrouded high-risk experiments being carried out in Wuhan, the Chinese city where Covid first appeared, and argue that it was ‘enforced not only by China but by Western funding bodies and influential Western scientists’. The dramatic intervention comes from epidemiologists Colin Butler (based at the National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health in Canberra, Australia) and Delia Randolph (of the University of Greenwich, London).
"...by Western funding bodies and influential Western scientists..."
Gee, I wonder if Fauci's name is included as one of the Western scientists and NIH provided any funding? Oh, those wacky conspiracy theories!
Another Cynical, Useless, Gun-Control Push by Democrats.
Townhall: Get Ready for Another Cynical, Useless, Gun-Control Push by Democrats.

The central problem in this debate is that Democrats believe civilian gun ownership itself is a plague on the nation, so it doesn't really matter to them what gun is being banned or what law is being passed, as long as something is being "done."
Oh, No! Sad Fat Liberal Tony Posnanski says Twitter is, "a cesspool of horrible."
Fat Tony has been on Twitter for 15 years. Most of his time, his entire account Tweets consist of telling anyone who disagrees with him to, "Eat Shit," "Fuck off," "Go fuck yourself," "[insert name] is an asshole," and other fascinating insights into his profound vocabulary and keen intellect.
A few months after Elon takes over Twitter, it is now a, "cesspool of horrible," for Fat Tony. No, he's getting a taste of what he's been dishing out since 2008 and it's become, for him, a, "cesspool." Oh, Dat's So Sad!
Fat Tony. Another thin-skinned Liberal who, when he gets a taste of his own medicine, shrinks away to his safe-place. Yet, it's rare these people end Tweeting or delete their accounts. Why is that?
The Sweet Tears of Unfathomable Liberal Sadness. The Unironic Schadenfreude is Rich and Delicious!

Three Car-Size Asteroids approaching Earf on Jan. 27.
The asteroids are named: 2023BU, 2023BZ3 and BT3. Via: The JPL/NASA.
2023BU approach, according to the site, will be within 6,190 of earf's orbit. The other two are a long way off.
Car-Sized. Awwwwwwwwwwwwww... how disappointing. Well, could still be some excitement if one of the three hits, but that's not going to happen.😠

More speculation on what really happened:
Eat a Bug Burger. Save the planet!
Rebel News: European Union begins adding bug additives to food.
This week, a new food additive made from bugs began appearing in foods from pizza to pasta to cereals across the European Union, to the surprise of many Europeans.
According to the European Commission ruling that went into effect this month, a cricket powder additive is now approved for use in a wide range of food products, including cereal bars, biscuits, pizza, pasta-based products, and whey powder. The additive could find its way into a variety of confectionaries, soups, and meat preparations.
In order to prepare the crickets for human consumption, they are first checked to make sure their “bowel content” is removed, then frozen. [ Oh, well - as long as their bowel content is removed and they're frozen. Delish! - DD ]
CONTEXT - From today powder of the house cricket is allowed in a variety of food products in the European Union.https://t.co/I6Tb3fyt5K
— Disclose.tv (@disclosetv) January 24, 2023
Though many have suggested that the consumption of bugs could become normalized if used as a food additive, some argue that this could be a way for climate change activists to impose their ideologies on people.
The move to include the powdered additive could be used to convince people that bugs have already been in their food, as the European Union recently approved the use of the lesser mealworm, Alphitobius diaperinus, for human consumption.
In November, the Washington Post suggested that Americans forgo their traditional Thanksgiving dinners and instead look to eating bugs as a cheaper alternative.
Are Vegans okay with this, since they don't eat anything with a face or had parents?
