Let’s consider the Biden Classified Documents scandal.
Late last fall, President Biden’s team found classified docs in Biden’s former office at the Penn Biden Center.
After decades of presidencies without any classified documents turning up where they don’t belong, we have Trump stealing classified documents and refusing to give them back. Then, within a year of the Trump classified document scandal, more classified documents start turning up in an old Biden office and at Biden’s home? This doesn’t seem ridiculously coincidental to anyone??
The Biden team does not know how those docs got there, which is why the Biden team at the White House has been unable to explain why it found these docs at the Penn Biden Center.
Since they discovered those docs, late last year, the Biden team and DOJ have been trying to quietly figure out how they got there.
Subsequently, members of the Biden team have been searching Biden homes and they have been finding more classified documents.
We — members of the public — know that the Biden team found classified documents inside Biden’s office at the Penn Biden Center and at Biden’s residence.
We do not know how the documents were placed there. That is why the DOJ is investigating. Journalists and others should stop asking questions and wait for the investigation to yield answers.
Journalists are frustrated by the White House’s inability to explain how those docs got to the Biden office at Penn, the Biden garage, and inside Biden’s home.
This is because those journalists are making a massive assumption: they assume that the Biden team knows how those docs got there.
Those journalists are wrong.
The simplest explanation: Trump loyalists in the Secret Service and other agencies — who have access to all those locations where the Biden team has been finding them — put them there.
The Trump people are very skilled criminals. They are particularly good at destroying evidence of wrongdoing.
This will make it difficult to prove that Trump loyalists had the docs planted. Those loyalists know Trump admitted to stealing hundreds of classified docs and having them taken to his golf resort in Florida. Trump and those loyal to him also know Trump could go to jail for that crime.
The “Biden classified docs” probably come from the docs Trump stole that the National Archives has said are still missing.
AG Garland knows that the Trump people are very skilled criminals. This is part of the reason why he appointed Special Counsel Hur to investigate.
Proving that the docs were planted — and who planted them —will not be easy. If it were easy, the DOJ would have announced the finding of the docs at the Penn Biden Center and indicted the people who participated in their planting before last week.
The day the news of the discovery at the Penn Biden Center broke, Trump posted an item on his Truth Social describing (not speculating, or imagining, but describing) the contents of the docs found.
But no one had or has since has publicly said what the docs pertain to.
How could Trump know, or even presume to know, the content or topics of the docs — on the day the docs finding was made public — if he was not involved in having them?
Explaining this “Biden Classified Documents” scandal is not especially difficult. Remember Occam’s Razor.

Let’s look at Paul’s Econo-Political Crystal Ball:
In the last two months, US inflation growth has slowed.
Monthly US inflation rates will stay about the same for another month or two, without going up much.
Americans will most likely vote Republicans into US House and (maybe) Senate majorities in November 2022.
Monthly inflation rates will go down as global supply rises to match global demand.
The Republican Party (GOP) will try to take credit for the 2023 decline in inflation.
However, Republican Party legislators won’t propose laws that might reduce inflation.
Why? Two reasons, one is: the current type of inflation has nothing to do with anything anyone in Congress does. (I explain the second reason below.)
Republican legislators and party leaders won’t do anything to improve the US economy.
Why? The GOP goal is to make economic life in the US as miserable as possible from 2023 through 2024.
If Americans are economically miserable in November 2024, they will be more likely to vote for a Republican president in November 2024.
After winning majorities in the US House and Senate in November 2022, the GOP goal will be to win the White House in November 2024.
During the 2020-2021 global Covid pandemic, both demand and supply plummeted. That created a massive recession.
Prices for goods and services dropped drastically — because demand for goods and services was very low during the pandemic’s worst period.
Supply was also very low, but because demand was low, there was no high inflation.
Although both were very low, supply and demand were in balance during 2020-2021.
In 2022, demand came back as the pandemic eased. But supply takes longer to come back up. Supply has not yet returned to pre-pandemic levels. But demand is very high, resulting in higher costs.
Supply and demand have been out of balance through 2022. Low supply and high demand always make the things in demand more expensive.
Now you know the Republican Party plan for the American economy between now and November 2024.

I heard recently that Republican Party candidates are doing really well against Democratic Party candidates in November election polls because of the U.S. economy, especially relatively high inflation. I wondered if Republicans have proposed great economic ideas. So I decided to look up all the ideas and proposed legislation from Republican Senators and Representatives to address U.S. or global inflation,… Read more The post Republicans Offer Great Economic Ideas appeared first on Broken...
I heard recently that Republican Party candidates are doing really well against Democratic Party candidates in November election polls because of the U.S. economy, especially relatively high inflation. I wondered if Republicans have proposed great economic ideas.
So I decided to look up all the ideas and proposed legislation from Republican Senators and Representatives to address U.S. or global inflation, since all countries around the world have been dealing with inflation for the last year.
I reproduced all those great Republican bills and ideas below:

There they are, all the great Republican economic ideas.

Many people — especially Republicans — say they want a small United States government that doesn’t regulate much or interfere in the free-market economy. But when demand is high, supplies are relatively low and the free-market economy gives the world high inflation, then what? Instead of simply paying the higher prices and reveling in the glory and joy of a free-market… Read more The post Free-Market Economy? appeared first on Broken...

But when demand is high, supplies are relatively low and the free-market economy gives the world high inflation, then what?
Instead of simply paying the higher prices and reveling in the glory and joy of a free-market economy, those same Republicans blame the Democratic United States President and the House/Senate — the government — for not introducing regulations and price controls that would interfere in the free market economy and reduce prices.
Either they want a minimally regulated free market economy or they want a heavily regulated economy with lots of price controls.
Pick one or the other.
Can’t have both at the same time.

Apparently the GOP does not know that “antifa” means “antifascist.” The GOP is very much against “antifa.” To the GOP, antifa is very bad. The GOP thinks “antifa” is an organization — it is not. But, understand this: if you think “antifa = bad” then you are “pro-fascist.” To be against the anti-fascists means you are pro-fascist.

Apparently the GOP does not know that “antifa” means “antifascist.”
The GOP is very much against “antifa.”
To the GOP, antifa is very bad.
The GOP thinks “antifa” is an organization — it is not.
But, understand this: if you think “antifa = bad” then you are “pro-fascist.” To be against the anti-fascists means you are pro-fascist.
But the GOP knows when it should make others live according to its beliefs. (Definition of “fascism.”)
Definition of fascism:
“Fascism is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and the economy that rose to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.”
