Quite remarkably this ABC report on empty shelves is not far away from outlining the truth.  They are still obfuscating some of the predictable reasons, and they completely ignore the vaccination mandate aspect that is going to worsen the issue, but they are nibbling the edges, nonetheless.

The backward-looking comparative statistics they cite, “15% shortage for food and beverages” overall, are nonsense.  The severity of unavailable products is much higher than that.  You will note from your own store visits the most unavailable products are the manufactured food and heavily processed products.

The raw material shortage inside the retail manufacturing supply chain path, combined with the increased demand on those manufactured sectors, is the direct cause of the manufactured food shortage. {Go Deep}  [Example: a high demand for citric acid means complex foods that use citrus flavorings (ie. sports drinks) are in short supply.  Chase that backward, and you see shortages in citrus & higher citrus costs, etc.]

Each seemingly small issue creates another small issue, which creates another small issue, which ultimately pokes holes in the supply.  Poke enough holes in enough small categories from manufactured condiments to manufactured drinks, to manufactured cereals, pasta, grains, soups, pet foods, and the complex food processing system overall begins to show the larger problem.  It’s a system collapse by a thousand paper cuts.

CBS conducted a poll of the collapsed support for Joe Biden [DATA HERE] and then outlined their findings earlier today.  However, keeping up with their need to ignore things, they skip over how the vaccination mandate is opposed within their responses.

Margaret Brennan and Anthony Salvanto, CBS News’ director of elections and surveys, discuss how inflation and the economy are the two central issues at the top of concern.  However, Joe Biden’s handling of COVID, and specifically the vaccination mandate, are also driving opposition to the regime intent.  WATCH:

The people behind Biden have boxed him in on the economic consequences.  Inflation is an outcome of economic policy that cannot be reversed without completely refuting their own policy and reversing course.  As a consequence, there’s nothing Biden can do to stop this negative outcome.

That said, notice the aspect in the screengrab below (polling outcome) which they completely ignored.

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”

“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

~ Mike Vanderboegh

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Neil Oliver does a weekly monologue that is very well articulated and provokes thought; this one is no exception.

In this outline Oliver weaves a series of points around the topic of collapsed trust with government and institutions with examples we all relate to.  However, the last 90-seconds, when he connects them is brilliant, painful and disturbing.  Highly recommended.

.

That final example is enough to make us weep in anguish, and then anger.

The first of many MAGA rallies of the 2022 mid-term season begins tonight.  President Donald J. Trump, the 45th President of the United States of America, will hold a rally in Florence, Arizona, tonight at 7:00pm MST / 9:00pm EST.

Pre-rally speakers and events as customary will begin before Donald Trump delivers his remarks at 9pm.  This is the first livestream rally where Big Tech is being subverted and the larger rebel alliance is using Rumble video livestreams exclusively.  Yep, “let’s get ready to Rumble“…

There has been a great deal of discussion and debate about the Democrat party having evolved into a full-blown communist apparatus.  However, a Rasmussen poll released today [DATA HERE] puts the debate to rest with empirical data.

Democrats are FACTUALLY the party of totalitarian communists.   Consider:

♦ Forty-five percent (45%) of Democrats favor the government forcing unvaccinated people into federal quarantine camps if they refuse the COVID-19 vaccine.

♦ Nearly half (48%) of Democrat voters think federal and state governments should be able to fine or imprison individuals who publicly question the efficacy of the existing COVID-19 vaccines on social media, television, radio, or in online or digital publications.

♦ 47% of Democrats favor a government tracking system, ankle monitors or locked collars, for those who won’t get the COVID-19 vaccine.

♦ Twenty-nine percent (29%) of Democratic voters support forcibly removing children from the custody of unvaccinated parents.

♦ 55% of Democratic voters support fines and financial punishment for the unvaccinated.

♦ Fifty-nine percent (59%) of Democrats favor government requiring unvaccinated citizens to remain confined to their homes. (read poll here)

I saw this last night and was actually a little taken back in the exchange.  For some unknown reason (though I have suspicions), instead of Alex Berenson using his time on Fox News to confront the malicious and fraudulent manipulation of medical science, he decided to attack the credibility of Dr. Robert Malone.

There could be nefarious motives for this; however, the Occam’s Razor perspective is simply that Alex Berenson carries a thin-skinned trait of social awkwardness and is unaware how his engagements with people can be off-putting.  You decide.  WATCH:

Dr. Robert Malone expanded on his opinion of Berenson via Substack:

“Unprofessional, rude and an arsehole to boot. But beyond that, I think we can all assume CONTROLLED OPPOSITION.”

In 1992, Suparna Dutta arrived in the US from India.

In 2020, Mrs. Dutta spoke to the Fairfax County VA school board. They ignored her.

In 2021, Suprana Dutta stood up, took a stand and worked to help Glenn Youngkin win the race for Virginia governor. Today, 2022, thirty years after arriving at the place of hope and opportunity for her family, she speaks at the inauguration of Governor Youngkin.

At the end of her inspiring *remarks Mrs. Dutta proclaims, “God bless the United States of America!”

Folks, I know times are rough right now for many people, but we have a long-time Treehouse friend who urgently needs our help.

Richard Stiller’s dog Dexter is having health issues and the vet in Southern California costs a bundle right now because of COVID stuff.

Dexter has been the loveable MAGA dog on various social media for a long time.  He’s cute as a button and just all around great.   He’s been sick for several days.

The dog hospital in SoCal charges a whopping $3,000/night for care.  Richard and his wife have exhausted their resources to try and take care of Dexter at home.  Now he trying to raise money to help heal his best friend and loyal companion in the hospital.

I’ll vouch for the authenticity of the need. Every $5 matters.

If you can help his Go Fund Me is HERE

Richard is on Twitter Here

Please keep Dexter and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

Love to all.
