Maggie's Farm

Discussing the recent vacating of the position of the Speaker by all of the Democrats and eight Republicans, Clinton said that Democrats had to groom selected Republicans while treating the rest as sick cultists:

The threat of terrorism from MAGA protestors is virtually nil. The characters who have foolishly made internet threats have been shot dead. There is no significant Internet talk of such violent revolution, such terrorism, no talk radio exhorting it,

. . . Once upon a time, the FBI used to be a master observer of human nature, of behaviorial science, back before it went woke. So why would it put out such information through Newsweek, and yes they did put it out there, despite their protestations within the piece. It should be noted there have been no feverish denials, no condemnation against the reporter for taking things out of context, and not a right-wing source, which they wouldn't have. Given the damningness of the story, which clearly violates MAGA supporters' First Amendment rights, and puts the bureau in the role of the KGB, why would they let that happen?

given the massive institutional advantages and relative unity enjoyed by the political left, the Democratic Party finds itself engulfed in chaos of its own, largely resulting from the consequences of its own political victories.

. . . Violent crime is on the rise in deep-blue cities,

. . . Immigration, counted on as a powerful tool to ensure future political dominance for the Democratic Party, has also become a festering issue for Democrat politicians.

. . . The greatest short-term threat to the regime’s stability is a threat few in Washington have yet to notice, the consequences of the Federal Reserve’s pivot away from its long role as a dutiful enabler of the Fed’s fiscal hedonism.

. . . This week US bond markets are hitting historic losses of over 40 percent. Total losses on the value of bonds are estimated to stand at over $1.6 trillion and growing.

. . . The meltdown of US bonds threatens systemic insecurity in the financial system, threatening the balance sheets of insurance companies, pensions, and other nonbank institutions that sought security in the form of US bonds.

. . . Despite these seismic shocks happening in financial markets, the political class seems characteristically clueless.

The political class may be more concerned about delayed Ukraine funding than the financial crisis brewing at home, but the regime is prepared to do what it does best: violently preserve itself at the expense of everyone else.
