Pocahontas was a Powhatan. Cherokee Lizzie Warren never claimed to be Powhatan. But to Trump and his minions, all Native Americans look alike.
The meme is false. The Scalia vacancy occurred in a change election year and historically few nominees have been approved when POTUS and the Senate majority were from different parties, something the 1992 Biden rule recognized.

My latest post reflects on the infant formula crisis. As a bachelor with no dependents, I don't have direct experience, although I've babysat baby nephews and nieces and fed them bottles. Here I give a more free market perspective and criticize a Dem.https://t.co/ibyQHIXF7Y

The leftist troll would like you to believe that the State, which has attained its incompetent size and scope because of progressivist expansionism, hasn't distorted the economy in ruinous ways. The infant formula shortage is totally due to government regulation.

Nope. Of course, all going concerns, energy or otherwise, want to be profitable in all markets, good or bad. Price increases reflect the law of supply and demand, and the global energy supply market is tight. Government regulations exacerbate supply issues.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) May 23, 2022
Nope on both counts. USMCA doesn't ban Canadian infant formula import but taxes it out of the market. It is true that foreign oil producers cut prices, basically to undercut the high-cost US shale oil producers, but part of this had to do with lower demand during the pandemic.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) May 23, 2022
Just a reminder that USMCA, which most of us free traders opposed, had bipartisan support, including a Dem-controlled House (385-41) and an 89-10 approval in the Senate. Both parties are responsible for a situation where the US has exported tons of formula to Canada, 0 imported.

Oh, HELL NO! Biden is a liar! We have no mutual defense treaty with Taiwan, and since 1979, the US BY LAW has recognized that Taiwan is part of China. Biden has no constitutional or legal basis to defend Taiwan, which is not in our defensive interests. https://t.co/tdvHtG2lgi

Well, polls are indicating Trump is tired of winning again: his attempt to take out Gov. Kemp (R-GA) over 2020 election results is likely to fail. The real question is whether Stacey Abrams can exploit Trumpkin discontent this fall; so far Kemp has a 5-point lead.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) May 23, 2022
It's not the first time Biden has gaffed in public, but an international gaffe about militarily defending Taiwan is very serious, leading me to question his age and mental fitness for office. The Democrats need to nominate someone else in 2024.

I have to respond to Pelosi's trite defense of "not imposing her religion on others" to excuse her selling her soul for political silver. Theft, perjury, and murder are also opposed by our moral doctrine. Non-religious people also oppose abortion since life begins at conception.
