I’ve blogged in the past about how stats like inflation can be manipulated using larger base numbers. The same type of math manipulation can be applied to smaller base numbers. For example, governments’ response to the Covid Plandemic caused GDP to plummet, which created a smaller base number. Here’s an illustration:
In other words, even if raw numbers are smaller than pre-Covid, they can be spun as growth. GDP, jobs, and anything else they can spin will be used to indicate economic “success.” This strategy was perfected by Obama, who managed to become president immediately after the deep subprime mortgage recession. Despite the fact he led one of the weakest recoveries in history, it was spun as success. The fact Biden still managed to create two negative GDP quarters starting from such low base numbers is quite the performance. 👏👏👏
Have you noticed an increasing number of Democrats like John Fetterman are running from debates with their opponents? It’s simple — they’re following the Joe Biden basement strategy. It’s smart when you consider they control mainstream media, public education, Big Tech, and the entertainment industry along with the vast majority of political dark money, so they can totally frame & label their opponents while hiding all their flaws and insane ideas. Debates only expose voters to the truth, which is definitely NOT a winning strategy for Dems.
Speaking of framing the debate, Deep State Establishment RINO Lindsay Graham gave Dems the perfect opening to fire up their base with his ill-timed abortion ban proposal. Never mind that it’s a proposal from one lawmaker, not the platform of the Republican Party, and never mind that it’s a ban only after 5 months of pregnancy. It not only undercuts the argument made by Republicans of letting states decide, it gives Dems the perfect opening to LIE! Nearly every Dem candidate in the country has mentioned Graham’s proposal in their campaigning, but find me ONE SINGLE DEMOCRAT in the country who’s mentioned that it’s only after 5 pregnancy months and contains other exceptions like the life of the mother, in other words a “ban” which two-thirds of the country supports! Don’t count on CNN, MSNBC, or any of the other propagandists to note these important distinctions. It also draws attention away from the economy, inflation, crime, immigration, and other issues that would ensure Dem defeat.
We’ve had a historically low hurricane season, the least active in 30 years, but expect the usual climate change fear mongering with Hurricane Ian. As Biden policies cause gas prices to rise again the next few months, expect the media narrative to switch from “Putin’s fault” to “Hurricane Ian’s fault.”
Do you want an easy way to identify a Propagandist/Ruling Class stooge in business or the financial press? Watch how they use the word “recession.” For example, if they say sometime like, “There’s a good chance we may yet get a recession” or “Recession chances are increasing,” put them on the list. Everyone who has ever taken an economics class knows that the definition of a recession is two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth. It’s in EVERY economics textbook and has been repeated thousands of times on CNBC since I first found the channel. We’ve just had two negative quarters of GDP, so WE ARE IN A RECESSION! You can’t get higher than a 100 percent chance of recession since we’re already there! But the Biden strategy is to change the definition, and the lemmings & lapdogs of the financial world have just gone along with it. As with the Dem basement debate strategy, when you control all the propaganda outlets, the messaging can be whatever nonsensical crap you want. Good luck in getting any precision in the new definition of recession, which means we will never have a recession ever again–WOOHOO!…unless of course one of those evil fascist MAGA Republicans gets elected!
Speaking of fascism, the term has become the new racist. In other words, an undefined label used to attack opponents and stifle any real discussion of issues. Racist has been so overused, the Left needed a new line of attack for the “far right.” They’ll almost never define what positions are so-called fascist, but if you push them, they’ll find some generic comparison to fascists of the 20th century that have absolutely nothing to do with what made them so terrible. For example, if you talk about God, country, family, freedom from treacherous government — OMG, DEFINITELY HITTLER! (Side note: never spell Hitleeer or Naaaaazi correctly in a social media post as they’re an easy justification for censorship). The vast majority of the world is patriotic, cares deeply about their family, dislikes government, and believes in God. Are they all fascists?! If you want to use the term fascist, at least find some commonality with what made the 20th century totalitarian dictators so awful. For example:
Attacking and dehumanizing millions of people (e.g. MAGA Republicans or the unvaccinated)
Denying 1st Amendment freedoms (e.g. Big Tech mass censorship, using Covid to close down churches, prosecuting peaceful protesters)
Denying speedy trials or imposing unjust sentences on political opponents (e.g. Jan 6th or “election deniers”)
Disarming threats (e.g. assault weapon bans and red flag laws)
Using government agencies to go after political opponents (e.g. FBI raids, illegal surveillance, 87000 new IRS agents)
Implementing 1984-style propaganda control (e.g. Big Tech collusion, DHS’s Disinformation Governance Board)
I could go on, but you get the idea. Always be skeptical when you hear the media describe any politician as “far right.” They will NEVER describe people like AOC, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, or Justin Trudeau as “far left,” but when politicians taking positions supported by the majority of the world are called “far right,” you know you’re living in a clown world pushed by Ruling Class tools.
It sometimes fun to take a peek at the alternate world presented to liberal viewers. You would think a hotter than “expected” inflation report and the stock market dropping 1200 points (the worst day since 2020) would be the most newsworthy event of the day, certainly the top concern to the vast majority of Americans. But take a peek of the CNN & MSNBC front pages while this was happening.
To summarize:
CNN – 7 stories on the Queen of England, 3 on Russia/Ukraine, 1 on Elon Musk, 1 on Kelly Ripa passing out during sex, 0 on the market/inflation.
MSNBC – 6 stories on Trump, 1 on abortion, 1 on Russia/Ukraine, 1 on Covid, 5 on threats to Democrat one-party rule, 0 on the market/inflation.
This is the ONLY way Democrats stay in power. Leftists simply are NOT presented the real world.

Random Thoughts of the Day
After the 2020 election, I had planned to retire from blogging for other pursuits. After observing the mood of hopelessness in people on the Right, I decided to stay on a while longer. I always knew things needed to get much worse before they got better. The world, but especially America, had become too spoiled and complacent. We didn’t really understand how good we had it, and now we’re paying the price. We’re getting close to the bottom, but unfortunately, we’re not quite there yet. We still have to absorb the hits of the following:
Supercharged inflation with more jolts from Biden’s student loan payouts, the “Inflation Reduction” Act, and whatever other reckless deficit spending the Dems & RINOs unleash the next two years.
A steep recession triggered by the Fed trying to crush the economy with high interest rates in an attempt to bring down inflation.
Continued labor shortages from the Democrats’ insane policies of punishing work and rewarding those who sit on their ass.
Strikes & labor unrest from those who do show up for work and must bear the burden of understaffed environments.
More supply chain problems from the above and endless Covid restrictions.
Desperate executive orders & “emergency” actions as Biden & liberal governors near the end of their power.
Biden continuing to use Stalinist measures in an attempt to destroy enemies.
Increasingly divisive tactics from the media & Establishment politicians used to keep Americans fighting each other, with anger misdirected away from the politicians who deserve it.
The good news is that rock bottom inevitably leads to positive change. I have no doubt that things will start to turn around soon. Americans will only let themselves be kicked around for so long. A major backlash is coming! Politicians who push libertarian platforms will start to dominate elections. Overcoming the Ruling Class control of the media, academia, Big Tech, and entertainment will no doubt be a steep hurdle, but I believe enough Americans will finally be awake to take back control of the country.
As for my blogging & meme posts, I’m probably getting to the point where I’m preaching to the choir, so I likely will be moving on in the near future, probably around the end of the year, although I’m still undecided. I may retire the site or sell it to someone who will continue the theme. If you think you might be such a person, please email me. In any case, thank you to all the loyal followers!
