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.

Remember Molly Norris!

Yesterday I had friends over and did not go to my laptop until rather late in the day when I discovered this was going on:

 Colleyville, TX synagogue held hostage during livestreamed service; police negotiating with man. “A source on the scene told ABC News that an armed suspect took a rabbi and three others hostage and claims to have bombs in unknown locations. 

A little more:

An apparently armed man took a rabbi and his congregants hostage at a Texas synagogue Saturday, demanding US authorities release a convicted terrorist known as “Lady al-Qaeda” — and phoning a New York City rabbi in a bizarre bid for help, according to sources and reports.

So an armed man takes Jewish Hostages in a synagogue on the Sabbath and demands the release of an Al-Qaeda terrorist. Guess what the first reaction of the usual suspects was:

Because Islam of course is the victim here

News organizations played along with this business in their headlines with the BBC putting hostage in quotes and the telegraph describing the hostage taker in their lead as a: “man with English accent”

Maybe is was Cary Elwes

And the AP jumped right on the “Nothing to do with Islamic Terrorism vs Jews” with the help of an FBI whose capacity to throw what little credibility they still have left out the window has not yet reached its full potential.

Now I’m going to be there were a lot of other possible targets in a place as large as Texas that could have been targeted but he managed to find a Jewish Synagogue in the state for his crime.

Perhaps he figured that based on voting patterns in America it was the target in the state least likely to be populated by armed civilians.

But anyways it’s all over. The hostages have been freed the terrorist is dead and the Al Qaeda member in jail is still in jail (at least until her supporters discover the joys and investment potential of Hunter Biden’s artwork) and the story is done.

And when I say “done” I mean it? Why? Because of DaTechGuy’s 3rd law of Media Outrage:

The MSM’s elevation and continued classification of any story as Nationally Newsworthy rather than only of local interest is in direct correlation to said story’s current ability to affirm any current Democrat/Liberal/Media meme/talking point, particularly on the subject of race or sexuality.

If the hostage taker had been a Trump supporter or in DC on January 6th or had expressed a desire for Ron DeSantis in Florida or even had suggested that there had been the slightest possibility of fraud in the last election rest assured you would be able to find stories concerning this attack for days and weeks to come so if you were engrossed in the NFL’s wild card weekend you could catch up in a hurry once the games were done.

Alas it was an Islamist, targeting a Jewish Synagogue on the the Jewish Sabbath to release a member of Al Qaeda which means the story will be gone fast than you can say James T Hodgkinson, Terryous Jorelle Baker , Darrell Brooks or Molly Norris.

Unexpectedly of course.
