THE GOP IS THE PARTY OF SICKNESS AND DEATH

10 year old abortion story changes dramatically
PJ Media: The controversial story of a 10-year-old rape victim who was transported from Ohio to Indiana to procure an abortion has been very clarifying. First reported by pro-abortion leftists around the world, the story was picked up by PJ Media’s Megan Fox, who was the first reporter to ask questions about the sizable gaps in the narrative. Megan’s outstanding research arguably began the pressure campaign that ultimately produced an announcement of the arrest of the illegal alien rapist three weeks after the crime was first referred to police.

Biden inflation message unravels
Washington Examiner: President Joe Biden's attempts to ease concerns over historic inflation are being deflated by data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and even statements from his own White House. Wednesday's consumer price index saw headline inflation rise to 9.1%, the highest level in 40 years, outpacing both White House and private sector projections. The energy sector accounted for half of the monthly increases, yet year-over-year core inflation, which factors our energy and food costs heavily affected by the war in Ukraine, failed to decrease at the rate predict... read more

Shift in demographics favors GOP in 2022
Axios: Shifts in the demographics of the two parties' supporters — taking place before our eyes — are arguably the biggest political story of our time. The big picture: Republicans are becoming more working class and a little more multiracial. Democrats are becoming more elite and a little more white. Why it matters: Democrats' hopes for retaining power rest on nonwhite voters remaining a reliable part of the party's coalition. Democrats' theory of the case collapses if Republicans make even incremental gains with those voters. - Even small inroads with Hispanic voters could ... read more

MIA in Ukraine - families angry
This is so touching and tragic - Ukrainian soldiers wives and mothers appealing for information about their loved ones from the US puppet regime in Kiev....they get no real information about those missing in action. When soldiers are 'officially' listed as missing the families get no money from the government. If they are listed as dead then the families do get some funds. So MIA becomes the preferred policy of the government for obvious reasons. Used as cannon fodder for US-UK-NATO ambitions. Nothing more. Bruce read more

So, it’s now official, the Biden administration will forget about the murder of Jamal Khashoggi and the war in Yemen.
