State of our nation (and a bit of the world) after the election

If you took a week to be happy about the outcome, great.  Now let's get back to work:

1. It's likely that most Americans have sympathy for Ukraine.  They were invaded by a far larger nation.  Unfortunately Porridgebrain's handlers have given Ukrainian forces long-range missiles (180 mile range), and a week ago gave the Ukes permission to fire those into Russia.  Putin has declared this is an act of war by the U.S.  Most Americans have no idea of any of this.

    How would the U.S. react if Russia gave the Mexican drug cartels missiles and permission to fire 'em at southwest U.S. cities, eh?

2. In 1990 what was the U.S. national debt? (Drag over here to see answer-->$3 trillion
(Source for this and all national debt figures: FRED https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/GFDEBTN  )

3. What was the debt when biden took office?  (Answer: $28.1 trillion

4. Today--two months before the end of biden's astonishingly crappy presidency-- the debt just passed what number?    (Answer--> $36 trillion

So in less than four years the national debt increased by 8 TRILLION, or about $2 trillion a year.

5. Now this next should scare ya: If that horrific rate doesn't change, by 2034 the debt would be $56 trillion.  But thanks to some creative wishing, the congressional budget office calculates the debt will be "only"...? (Answer--> only $50 trillion)

6. The problem is, a HUGE chunk of what the government spends is considered NON-discretionary:
    Medicare/medicaid: $1.8 trillion
    Social security:        1.5 trillion
    Defense:                   0.95 trillion
    Interest:                    0.97 trillion
    Total:      $5.2 trillion

One can certainly argue that defense spending could be cut.  Expect Democrats to cut defense rather than any welfare spending.  To do that the Media will bleat that we don't NEED a strong defense, because there are no threats to the U.S.  Really?
    
7. The biden economy has been SO faaaabulous that Americans--surely fueled by merry exuberance--have hugely increased credit-card debt to a record $1.3 trillion.
   Just kidding: many American families have been so impoverished by inflation for the past 2.5 years that they've had to charge food on their credit card.  

8. This debt costs consumers $200 billion per year in interest, which could otherwise have been used to save or invest.  But now that money is going to the banks--and that figure seems certain to increase every year.
  Now, could Americans cut down on unnecessary expenses, like entertainment, cable TV, going out to eat?  Sure, and they should.  But that reduces economic activity, jobs, income--you get it.

9. After the illegal-alien who killed and raped 22-year-old nursing student was convicted, leftist, Dem-fellating MSNBC published this totally tone-deaf headline: 

"Laken Riley's killer never stood a chance."

 After massive outrage they finally changed it to "The guilt of Laken Riley's killer was never in doubt."
  Question is, why didn't anyone at that brilliant leftist network spot the tone-deaf headline before publishing it?  Oh, yeah...these are the same morons who screamed that Trump was Hitler.

9. MSNBC cuts Rachel Madcow's salary by $5 million a year.  Now she'll have to get by on a heartbreaking $25 million a year...for doing just ONE show a week.  Madcow is a joke.  She makes Mika look smaht.

10. After Trump appointed Tom Homan to begin deporting illegal alien invaders, the Democrat mayor of Denver threatened he will "mobilize 50,000 citizens and cops" to prevent his beloved illegals from being deported.  He threatened a "Tienanmin Square moment."  Go for it, asshole.

11. Democrats and never-Trumper rinos defeated Gaetz for A-G without even being forced to vote, after 5 rat-bastard RINO senators said (on-camera) that they wouldn't vote to confirm him regardless.
   What does this mean to the next four years?  As you all know, the GOP will have a 54-46 majority in the new senate, but if 5 RINO senators vote no, it means they can defeat any of Trump's nominees, and everyone knows it.
   So what does that mean?  It means the Dems know Trump must bow to their will if he wants any of his main choices to be confirmed.
   Dems and RINOs now "smell blood," knowing they have control.  So thanks to the five RINOs, picking up five senate seats--and the theoretical majority--has now been *totally neutralized.*

12. If any of you followed the trial of the illegal who brutally raped and murdered Laken Riley (who fought valiantly for 17 minutes before he bashed her head in with a rock), you may have wondered why the DA didn't ask for the death penalty if the killer/rapist was convicted.
  After all, it's hard to imagine a more brutal, ghastly, horrible murder, eh?  So... Anyone know why no death penalty?
  Democrat voter: "Obviously Georgia is one of those 'enlightened' states that abolished the death penalty!"
  No, but thanks for playing.  And if you're curious, try to find why this son of a bitch wasn't sentenced to death--which he so richly deserves--because "your" lying Mainstream Media does NOT want you to know.
   Try googling "why wasn't Laken Riley's killer sentenced to death?"  See how carefully the Lying Mainstream Media avoided telling you the answer to that question.
   The answer is: George Soros.  Seriously. Two years ago Soros poured half a million dollars into the race for DA of the county where Riley was raped and murdered, to elect a communist named Deborah Gonzalez.  
  Gonzalez was exactly the kind of DA Soros has donated to in 30 other DA races, including Philly, Los Angeles, San Francisco and other big cities.  Of course Athens, Georgia is hardly a big city, but Soros backed leftist candidates wherever they were running.
   Gonzalez was either corrupt or totally incompetent.  She repeatedly ignored open-records laws and botched dozens of cases.  And refused to charge Riley's killer as a death-penalty case.  Local residents were outraged, but the DA isn't accountable to *anyone*--something Soros well knows.
   Voters were so outraged by her refusal to seek the death penalty for Riley's killer that they voted her out of office by 20 points.
   That's not the amazing thing.  The amazing thing to me is that 40 percent of voters in that county STILL voted for the Soros-backed communist DA.
 
13. The U.S. supreme court has said states can't castrate convicted rapists.  "Cruel and unusual punishement," eh?
   Of course that ruling applies only to those convicted of sex crimes.  Minors who haven't been accused of a crime can still be chemically castrated.
   Democrat voter: "That's ridiculous!  No state could *possibly* allow a minor, not convicted of any crime, to be castrated!"
   Really?  I see you aren't familiar with California judges.  Liberal judges have *ruled* that one powerful group is allowed  to castrate males. Can ya guess?
   Sure: Liberal judges have ruled that clever liberal mothers can have their 12-year-old sons castrated, over the father's objections.
   Of course you don't believe that for a moment, eh?  It's just too unreal, right?
   Yeah, well...the trick is to call castration "gender-affirming care."

A liberal California judge has removed all parental rights from a father of 12-year-old twin boys because dad wouldn't agree with mom castrating one of the boys.
   The judge has also forbidden the father from posting any pictures of his sons, since doing so would outrage many Americans.  And the dad can't even VISIT his sons without a liberal Nazi "supervising" the visit.
   Welcome to the pro-tranny liberal regime, peon.
   Democrat: "Nonsense!  Dis beez merely "gender-affirming care"!  Dis 12-year-old 'gurl' beez reeeally mature and smaht!  So when the 12-year-old claims he really a girl, the party that demands that you "Believe the Science!" will remove the father's parental rights to allow mom to chemically castrate the kid.  
   See?  "Gender-affirming," citizen!

Such is the sorry state of our nation.  And Democrats are determined not to allow any changes favored by Trump.
