Welcome back to Day 1362 of the Biden*/Harris Occupation! Continuing with our themed TWIRLs, this week we look at the British news publication, The Economist! I discovered this magazine @ Y2K when I flew to an out of town wedding, and having forgotten to pack my reading material, found myself wandering in the airport news lounge in search of some reading material. I found the issue whose cover story was about America’s gun culture, written around what would later be a debunked anti 2nd Amendment piece. Being at the time very anti gun & 2nd Amendment (I didn’t say I was smart, it’s just where I was at the time. As you may have guessed, my position has evolved), I was intrigued. And having a degree in Econ, I liked the magazine’s pragmatic view of various political issues. I was hooked.
Fast forward a few years, and seeds of doubt crept in, as I could see the magazine’s leaning going away from pragmatic Economics to contorting economic theory to push Leftist causes. The massive sign that things were changing was in their 2004 endorsement of John Kerry over Dubya. I’ll be the first to admit that I ground my teeth as I voted for Dubya, but the Dems managed to run candidates far nastier than him and forced me to vote for him. I could go on about Dubya, but that’s a separate post. What ended my subscription was as article they posted @ when Barry O was elected in 2008. The article was advice for Republicans, and the advice was to become Democrats. The tone was that times had changed and the only hope for Republicans was to embrace Leftism and become a watered down version of Democrats – the two examples I remember was to go all in on gay marriage and Climastrology. That was when I realized that this magazine had devolved into little more than Newsweek with a British accent. And I was done. As these posts go, this unusually lengthy intro is leading to a supporting link roundup. So let’s do this!
Why the hype for hybrid cars will not last
(Shot) Because they s*ck.
Clean energy’s next trillion-dollar business
(Chaser) They’re not even trying to hide the next Climastrology scam.
Kamala Harris’s post-debate bounce is now visible in the polls
“You’re going to get a bounce kamala; you’re going to get a bounce!” “No you ain’t man, no you ain’t.”
Big American cars are killing machines
The argument is that larger vehicle size leads to more pedestrian deaths. of course, it ignores the safety of the passengers. Didn’t we kick the Brits out over stupid crud 250 years ago?
Hizbullah seems to have miscalculated in its fight with Israel
Gee, YA THINK?!? Does Hizbullah have a single leader left available to comment?
Why America’s election will only get uglier
Maybe because one side is constantly trying to incite their base to assassinate their Presidential opponent?
Are American progressives making themselves sad?
An ideology based around navel gazing and victimhood? Who would’ve thought?

At some point one has to ask which Western institution the nation that gave us The Fauci Flu haven’t corrupted
The Catholic Church should scrap the requirement for priestly celibacy
So many possible responses, but all I’ll say is I’d like to hear their opinions on Islam first.
“Feminist economics deserves recognition as a distinct branch of the discipline” – there is really nothing I can add to that

In honor of Kamala Harris doing an interview with Howard Stern, here are 90 seconds of Stern in blackface repeatedly using the N-word.

I doubt I will live long enough to experience it, but I wonder if I would have even known anyone that owned a personal vehicle in the future?
They plow so much money into these boondoggles that can NEVER meet the worlds current energy needs. Of course, if by some quirk, we needed much LESS energy…
So Kamala’s sole advantage over Trump in the debate was that she could tell a massive lie and bait Trump into spending time and energy correcting the record? Tell me, where in diplomacy or leadership would that talent come in handy? Most were merely relieved she could actually talk, but that sure wore off.
Just wait until we have cars the size of Volkswagens that weigh as much as a pickup truck. Oh… wait. we’re already there.
I guess if it wasn’t for the fact that their cannon fodder brainwashed fighters are who get killed, the leaders might eventually learn not to F**K with Israel. Maybe when the leaders are being paged to Hell, they might figure it out.
There’s a reason 70% of Republicans believe there was fraud: THEY’VE bothered to look at the evidence. But, from here on out every election that includes a Democrat will be a knock down, drag out. The farther left the Democrats go, the worse (less palatable to the US public) their candidates become. But, it is a foregone conclusion that Democrats will cheat. The cheating is going to more readily detected and called out. Even then, if Trump overcomes all that and wins, Raskin has pledged to try and block his certification. Shades of insurrection.
I guess when you’ve convinced yourself that bullshit is roses, becoming eventually sad is an inevitability. Conservatives aren’t despondent because we plan to defend ourselves instead of just allowing the leftist anal intrusion go unchecked. Being determined to fight back is more hopeful than just balling up in a crybaby fetal position on top of coloring books.
From 2020. The Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden regime sure spotted that threat and corrected it, didn’t they?
The question is, how can we tell the difference between CCP propaganda and Democrat propaganda?
The celibacy thing doesn’t seem to be working out that well, anyway.

Is that so we would know it is wrong?
