My Weekly Highlights!

“Great minds talk about ideas, average minds talk about events, small minds talk about people.” Eleanor Roosevelt

Events this week are mostly disturbing. The US and world events demonstrate anger and hatred of those with opposing views. Compromise is not an option, especially coming from the far left. Here are some of the examples of the recent madness:

-US Senate threw out the impeachment case against Homeland Secuity Secretary Mayorkas. The Democrats did not even allow the case to be investigated. We’ve seen the videos, Mayorkas did not secure the southern border and he lied to Congress many times. He should be removed and sent to jail. Democrats support him.

-Columbia University costs $80K to attend each year. This week students set up tents on the campus and rallied in support for Hamas. Hamas is one of the most dangerous terrorist groups in the world. Finally, the university asked NYPD to remove the students, and some of the students were expelled. Pictures of the encampment showed an array of green tents, all the same. Staged? Who funded??

New jobless claims in the US hit 200,000 last month. Same number over the last 5-6 months. Exactly the same. Experts question the reporting by Biden’s team. How is it possible that the US with 170 million workers, has exactly the same jobless number each month? Biden is hiding the truth.

The National Organization of Women has not condemned trans athletes competing in girls’ sports. It is just a matter of time before a young girl is killed while competing against a male. LBGTQ+ people are not marginalized, that tiny group has tremendous political power.

US credit card holders are now $1.2 trillion in debt, an increase of 56% since Biden took office. The interest on that debt was $280 billion last year. I guess when student loans were suspended by Biden for 3+ years, that money was not used to pay off credit cards.

The NBA had global revenues of $13 billion last year. The WNBA had revenues of $200 million, or 15% of the NBA. That is why Caitlin Clark’s rookie salary is $80,000.

A 49-year-old man got his student loans “forgiven” by Biden. He owed $250,000. He holds a master’s degree in music and has been out of school for 26 years. He loves music so did not work in another field to pay off his debt. None of it! With his debt paid off, he plans to study in India. I find this example disgusting. What rational person can agree with Biden’s policy??

AOC makes my list again. She has suggested that the US should “cap” wealth attained by individuals. Hmmm! She is so dumb! I wish she would go back to her bartending job.

NPR is run by liberals. The new CEO, Katherine Maher, uses words and phrases that I do not understand. Taxpayers provide $500 million in funding to NPR. I hope Trump will change that.
