Biden calls for Cuomo to resign for harassing women. Biden also harassed women but the Democrat basis for resignation is anatomically determined. Apparently anything above the waist is ok?

Is the political pendulum swinging?
Where'd you go, Ohio? How a swing state went red
by Salena Zito, National Political Reporter
Ohio’s politics have changed dramatically between 2006 and 2020. It's not conservative populist nor moderate Democrat. It is Jacksonian in nature and one to watch in 2022.
BUCYRUS, Ohio — The old adage in politics used to be, “As Ohio goes, so goes the nation.” And for the most part, since the start of the 20th century, the Buckeye State had earned that adage, only twice failing to support the national presidential winner — once in 1944 and again in 1960.
That all changed last November when Joe Biden became the first person since 1960 to win the presidency without carrying Ohio. Many in the Washington, D.C.-based political class decided that the people of Ohio had changed.
Well, they haven’t. This misapprehension comes from many Washington journalists having more of a cultural connection with the Democratic candidates they cover than with the voters. The key to understanding Ohio in 2021, and its election in 2022, is to understand how the political parties have changed.
In 2006, Democrats swept Republicans out of power here in a big way amid a major corruption scandal. At the top of the ticket was then-Rep. Ted Strickland, who hailed from a conservative congressional district in southeast Ohio. An ordained United Methodist Minister who opposed gun control, he was appealing to conservative Democrats and evangelical voters.
Another Democrat, Rep. Sherrod Brown, defeated then-Sen. Mike DeWine, the Republican incumbent. Brown ran as a populist that had the workingman and woman’s back.
So Democrats won their last sweeping state-level victory in Ohio with a deliberate working-class and culturally conservative appeal. Strickland lost his reelection in 2010 to John Kasich. He then fell flat in his 2016 bid for Senate. By that time, he had spent too much time in Washington, running the left-wing Center for American Progress. Gone was the pro-gun rights conservative Democrat; gone was his connection with the voters.
The voters had not changed. The Democratic Party most certainly had. The Republican Party changed, too, as it inherited so many of those disaffected conservative Democrats, many of whom had voted for former President Barack Obama twice.
Ohio hosted the 2016 Republican convention, but few of the journalists covering the state from the outside paid attention to voters' sentiments toward the political parties. Their stories often relied heavily on candidates' personalities and the national thrust of cultural progressivism. They missed that voters had more interest in job opportunities, safe communities, and the growing opioid crisis.
Paul Sracic, a Youngstown State University political science professor, says that because the Democrats were shedding their voters in favor of an ascendant coalition of young people, minorities, cultural elites, and women, they missed how much that subtraction was affecting the Republican electorate. “And the change has been stunning,” he said.
The biggest change, he explains, has been along the eastern spine of the state, “From Ashtabula County along Lake Erie down through Trumbull, Stark, and Mahoning Counties, all the way down Washington County — these areas were historically mostly Democratic strongholds, but all of them voted for Trump in 2020.”
Sracic adds that it would be a big mistake to think that Ohio's sudden reddening was just about former President Donald Trump. “These voters clearly liked the former president, but they are not a cult," he says. "They were just waiting for someone like him to come along, and when he did, they were overjoyed. They’ll still turn out in droves to hear Trump because he still says the things they want to hear and in the way they want to hear them."
Not only was Trump's margin in Ohio surprising — he won in 2016 and again in 2020 by nearly half a million votes — but DeWine also managed to resurrect his political career with a come-from-behind upset victory for governor in 2018. The Democrats' blue wave of that year missed the Buckeye State altogether.
More than 20 years ago, Walter Russell Mead identified a certain type of American as “Jacksonian,” after the former Democratic president of the 19th Century, identifying their political attitudes with a region that overlaps with much of Appalachia. Jacksonianism originated with the Scotch-Irish who had come to the country in its early days and settled there. Many of the later Irish and Italian immigrants, who came to work in factories around the turn of the last century, were eventually assimilated into this culture and adopted Jacksonian values, including a sense of self-reliance, a distrust of authority, patriotism, loyalty to community, and admiration for the police and military.
“Jacksonians were attracted to law and order Republicans such as Nixon, or the patriotic anti-communist, Ronald Reagan,” Sracic said. "But they usually considered themselves Democrats since they tended to be working class and associated the Republican Party with the wealthy. Trump converted the Republican Party into the Jacksonian Party; this change is likely permanent, and future Republican candidates will adopt this message.”
You are already seeing this in Ohio, as Senate candidates line up to replace the decidedly non-Jacksonian Rob Portman. The attitudes of voters in this Crawford County town, known for its three-day Bratwurst Festival, evinces a deep distrust toward many of the national themes in which Democratic politicians have invested.
“Defunding the police, questioning American history, and advocating open borders are diametrically opposed to Jacksonian understandings of the world,” Sracic said. Democrats have essentially transformed themselves into the anti-Jacksonian Party, even going as far as to abolish their traditional Jefferson-Jackson Day dinners in order to distance themselves from the former presidents.
Republican primary voters will ask themselves who can be depended upon to stick with the Jacksonian platform. Sracic explains that all of the current candidates have tried to a certain degree to attach themselves to Trump, “but what they really need to do is attach themselves to Trump’s messages.”
This is where Hillbilly Elegy author J.D. Vance, who announced his candidacy in July, might have a real advantage. “If I’m right, Trump’s voters' original roots are with the Scotch-Irish," Sracic said. "Who better to carry the message forward but someone born and raised within the cradle of Scotch-Irish culture and something he talks about in his book?"
The Republican field for Senate also includes businessmen Bernie Moreno and Mike Gibbons, as well as former Ohio Republican Party Chairwoman Jane Timken and former State Treasurer Josh Mandel.
Democratic candidates include Demar Sheffey, Richard Taylor, and Rep. Tim Ryan, who represents Ohio’s 13th Congressional District. Ryan is a formerly conservative Democrat who moved leftward during his run for both House speaker against Nancy Pelosi in 2016 and as a candidate for president in 2020.
Last November, Ryan notably lost his home county of Trumbull, and Trump came within 5 points of carrying the district, which had been drawn by Republicans after the 2010 Census to elect a Democrat. The shift in Ryan's district reflects the state's overall transformation into a more Republican place, where the winner of next year's GOP primary will start off as the heavy favorite to replace Portman.

Folks this is what it is all about and we have the government, the Federal Reserve, OPM Politicians and Wall Street to thank as well as Biden who believes in free lunches. This was sent to me by an alcoholic friend and fellow memo reader who I never knew drank until I saw him sober.
This is real, powerful, and tragic. Please take 5 minutes and watch.
Mary is the proprietor of a small neighborhood bar in Holyoke, MA
She realizes that virtually all of her customers are unemployed alcoholics and, as such, can no longer afford to patronize her bar. To solve this problem, she comes up with a new marketing plan that allows her customers to drink now, but pay later.
Mary keeps track of the drinks consumed in a ledger (thereby granting the customers' loans).
Word gets around about Mary's "drink now, pay later" marketing strategy, and as a result, increasing numbers of customers flood into Mary's bar.
Soon she has the largest sales volume for any bar in Holyoke.
By providing her customers freedom from immediate payment demands, Mary gets no resistance when, at regular intervals, she substantially increases her prices for wine and beer, the most consumed beverages.
Consequently, Mary's gross sales volume increases massively. A young and dynamic vice-president at the local bank recognizes that these customer debts constitute valuable future assets and increases Mary's borrowing limit. He sees no reason for any undue concern since he has the debts of the unemployed alcoholics as collateral.
At the bank's corporate headquarters, expert traders figure a way to make huge commissions and transform these customer loans into DRINK BONDS. These "securities" then are bundled and traded on international securities markets.
Naive investors don't really understand that the securities being sold to them as "AAA Secured Bonds" really are debts of unemployed alcoholics. Nevertheless, the bond prices continuously climb, and the securities soon become the hottest-selling items for some of the nation's leading brokerage houses.
One day, even though the bond prices still are climbing, a risk manager at the original local bank decides that the time has come to demand payment on the debts incurred by the drinkers at Mary's bar. He so informs Mary.
Mary then demands payment from her patrons, but most being unemployed alcoholics, they cannot pay back their drinking debts. Since Mary cannot fulfill her loan obligations, she is forced into bankruptcy. The bar closes and Mary's 11 employees lose their jobs.
Overnight, the DRINK BOND prices drop by 90%. The collapsed bond asset value destroys the bank's liquidity and prevents it from issuing new loans, thus freezing credit and economic activity in the community.
The suppliers of Mary's bar had granted her generous payment extensions and had invested their firms' pension funds in the DRINK BOND securities. They find they are now faced with having to write off her bad debt and with losing over 90% of the presumed value of the bonds.
Her wine supplier also claims bankruptcy, closing the doors on a family business that had endured for three generations; her beer supplier is taken over by a competitor, who immediately closes the local plant and lays off 150 workers.
Fortunately, though, the bank, the brokerage houses, and their respective executives are saved and bailed out by a multibillion-dollar no-strings attached cash infusion from the government.
The funds required for this bailout are obtained by new taxes levied on employed, middle-class, nondrinkers who have never been in Mary's bar.
NOW, DO YOU SEE AND BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT’S GOING ON IN AMERICA?

Biden’s Partner Profits From Chinese Communist Party-Owned Companies
(FreedomBeacon.com)- It seems like every week we keep hearing about new connections between the Chinese Communist Party and officials from the Biden administration, and this week is no different. A horrifying new report from The NATIONAL Pulse just revealed how Senator Tom Carpet of Delaware, who once referred to President Joe Biden as his “Brother” – profited from investments in companies connected to the Chinese Communist Party.
The news is significant as Senator Carper has worked extensively with the Biden administration on a number of issues, including the so-called “infrastructure” plans.
According to the report, Carper has made significant sums of money from his investments in Alibaba and Tencent, two Chinese companies with heavy connections to the Chinese Communist Party.
Carper was formerly Joe Biden’s junior partner in Delaware during his time as a United States Senator. He even referred to Carper as a close friend during his first speech after the 2020 inauguration. As close family friends who now work together on legislation that affects the country, shouldn’t we be asking why he – as well as the president’s son, Hunter Biden – is profiting from businesses that are indirectly controlled by the Chinese Communist Party?
According to financial disclosure documents that Carper is required to provide while working as a United States Senator, his assets from 2012 included up to $15,000 in shares of iShares China Large-Cap ETF, and up to $15,000 in shares of KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A ETF. He also had shares of up to $15,000 in Alibaba.
The ETFs he has invested in contain various state-owned Chinese companies that have been identified by U.S. intelligence communities as “thinly veiled” arms of the Chinese military.
Why isn’t President Joe Biden demanding an investigation into this?

Why does Sulzberger, a former Jew , attack Jews and runs a newspaper that constantly prints anti-Semitic articles?
NY Times ‘Buries Truth’ About Attacks on Jews, Declares Billboard
New York Times' anti-Semitism coverage
The New York Times ‘fuels hostility towards Jews with its incessant, false and inflammatory depictions of Israel,’ warns a prominent media watchdog.
By JNS.org
A billboard with the photo of New York Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger has been erected outside the newspaper’s headquarters at 620 Eighth Ave. in New York, denouncing the paper’s failure to cover the “full truth” about surging anti-Semitism.
It was placed by the media watchdog group CAMERA, Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis, which has used the platform before to raise awareness of Jewish issues.
Next to the publisher’s face, a message reads: “Hey, Mr. Sulzberger, The New York Times apologized for burying news about Nazi antisemitism. Why are you burying the full truth about attacks on Jews today? Get back to us at CAMERA.ORG.”
CAMERA executive director Andrea Levin said the aim is to help bring attention to “the deplorable role of the Times in failing to cover the full facts about anti-Semitism and actually fueling hostility towards Jews with its incessant, false and inflammatory depictions of Israel.”
She pointed to examples when the Times failed to cover aspects of contemporary anti-Semitism or contributed to it in the last three years.
In 2019, the Times had to apologize for publishing a cartoon widely denounced as anti-Semitic that depicted former President Donald Trump as blind, wearing a kipah and being led by a dog with a huge Star of David around its neck—a reference that he was a pawn of Israel and former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The cartoon played on a classic Nazi theme that a Jewish minority controls clueless gentiles.
In 2020, the paper ran an op-ed that whitewashed the well-known anti-Semitic rhetoric of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.
And in May, while Hamas was launching thousands of rockets into Israeli population centers, the paper published an incendiary article suggesting that attempts to kill Israeli civilians were a form of legitimate resistance.
Levin said the newspaper of record “will quote rabid anti-Semites without noting their extremism and report on anti-Semitic speech while erasing the anti-Semitism. Unfortunately, it all adds up to an alarming picture in which The New York Times, under Sulzberger’s leadership, is once again failing to tell the full truth about anti-Semitism.”
