Brandon by the numbers

After a year in office, Brandon has some embarrassing numbers.

14. That’s the percentage of voters who have changed from Democrat to Republican, according to a Gallup poll. When Brandon took over last January, 49% of those polled supported Democrats to 40% who supported the GOP. A year later, 47% supported Republicans, while 42% favored Democrats. Such a huge swing hasn’t occurred since 1991.

7. That’s the massive percentage increase in inflation, a 40-year high. Gasoline and groceries cost more, and most economists said higher prices were a sign that Brandon’s relief package was too large.

13. That’s the number of American troops who died in a bombing at Kabul’s airport during the U.S. evacuation of more than 100,000 people from Afghanistan. At least 169 Afghans were killed, with the evacuations leaving behind scores of Americans.

1.78 million. That’s the number of border crossings in the Southwest. Illegal immigrants began streaming across the U.S.-Mexico border once Brandon became president. That’s four times the number under Donald Trump.

9. Brandon has been remarkably press-shy. He has held nine news conferences (six solo and three joint) and 22 media interviews during his first year. That’s fewer news conferences than any of his five immediate predecessors at the same point in their presidencies and fewer media interviews than any of his recent predecessors.

32. “Not a joke” is one of Brandon’s favorite speech lines. Among the things he said were “not a joke”: Civil rights icons, labor unions that built the middle class, air pollution from Delaware chemical plants, climate change as a national security risk, and California voters.

78. That’s Brandon’s age upon becoming president, making him the oldest ever.

2024. Hopefully, the year Democrat control of the White House ends.

Kinda H/T to the Associated Press

Though most will disagree This is the biggest story of the day bar none

Remember when I wrote about how the life insurance industry noticed a huge spike in unexpected deaths? Well apparently at least one insurer has decided to do something about it:

A wealthy businessman had a multi-million dollar life insurance policy for his family, and after he passed away the insurance company refused to pay. The man submitted to a shot and was confirmed to have dies from the shot.

The hitch is that on all levels, including legal, the shots are experimental. The insurance company stated the policy clearly states that deaths from experimental medicine are the same as suicide, and it doesn’t need to pay out.

“The side effects of the experimental vaccine are published and the deceased could not claim to have known nothing about it when he voluntarily took the vaccine,” a court ruling stated. “There is no law or mandate in France that compelled him to be vaccinated. Hence his death is essentially suicide.”

What’s going to be really funny is five and ten and fifteen years from now when the side effects of the current vaccines are known and families find their vaccine cards are a “NO INSURANCE PAYOUT FOR YOU!” card. Today it’s one story out of France. 10 years from now it will be millions.

Yet another reason why I’ll continue to hold out. I carry a lot of insurance, I’d like to know that when I’m gone the wife is going to get her payout.
