    Since 2019, only 3% of paychecks have kept up with inflation.

    97% of workers paychecks are LESS than 2019, when adjusted for inflation.

    The average paycheck is 8.2% less than 2019, when adjusted for inflation.

    Now consider the many people that are trying to live on fixed incomes.

    There may be more people working now. But at low paying jobs. Biden's claim he improved the economy is bullshit!

    ...And this is all better than nearly every other country in the world...

    So it's not a problem with the US. It's a worldwide problem. Which Biden is handling infinitely better than Trump did.

    Organization of wealthy conservative Christians called Ziklag society is hoping to purge a million voters in swing states to elect Trump.
    Because of course Jesus said something about not letting the wrong people vote.

    What is wrong with these lefty journalists? They seem to be trying their hand at being confrontational, to someone at the RNC who is being very calm and collected, but they are both shaking like leaves...this was painful! Can't people just have normal conversations? The guy even tries to calm them down and invites them to a civil discourse and they refuse.

    Nevada county judge and former Republican city council member indicted on wire fraud charges. She set up what she said was a charity to honor police officers killed in line of duty. Used $70,000 raised for her campaign, rent, and daughter's wedding.
    Back the badge!

    Now lefties are crying about getting fired for saying they wish the assassin hadn't missed.

    I hope more lefties now understand why we've been saying that pinning "hate crimes" on people for speech is a bad road to go down. I'm not saying this isn't a crime, it's vandalism. But the concept of "hate crimes" are so highly subjective to whoever is defining "hate'.

    Fine them big time and put them on a work crew for a 100 hours. Then send them to a councilor like they did after Meyers was black balled.

    Kamala Blasts "Unpatriotic" Netanyahu Protesters Who Burned U.S. Flag, Gavin Newsome Sweeps Homeless



    Kamala blasts Bibi protesters as "Unpatriotic", while Gavin sweeps homeless Americans.

    Someone needs to give this witch a lesson in patriotism. Sweeping Americans away, when they need your help, is about as sick and "Unpatriotic" of an act as you can do.

    Sex education in school isn't just about fucking.

    When Barbie learned what a gynecologist was, so did many other people, according to new study

    [​IMG]

    When she leaves Barbie Land for the real world, Barbie must keep up with her regular health maintenance, which includes seeing her gynecologist.

    A new study published Thursday in the journal JAMA Network Open has found that the ending in the 2023 blockbuster film “Barbie” had an influence on online search interest in terms around gynecology, the branch of medicine that deals with women’s reproductive health.

    By analyzing 34 search queries related to understanding gynecologic care, the study authors had found that in the week following the film’s release in July 2023, there was about a 51% increase of searches for “gynecologist” and “gynecology.” The researchers also looked at the influence for the search of “gynecologist definition” combined with related queries like “What does a gynecologist do?” The category had overall fewer searches than “gynecologist” and “gynecology,” but it saw a 154% increase when compared with definition searches from the previous week.

    References in pop culture can influence health behaviors among the public, such as when former “Today” host Katie Couric live streamed her colonoscopy in 2000, which was found to increase colonoscopies by 21% shortly after, and Angelina Jolie published an essay on having breast cancer, which led to a 64% increase in genetic testing, the authors note in the study. Those examples and others inspired the researchers to look into the “Barbie” effect on interest in women’s reproductive health.

    “By making these topics seem less abstract, scary or intimidating, by just alluding to them in movies and things that people consume in their everyday lives, it will also help people be more aware of something that women deal with in their everyday lives,” said Eva Sénéchal, lead study author and a graduate student researcher at McGill University in Montreal.

    You could always just arrest everyone... Or that seems like what the supreme court is suggesting...
