What you said is partly true. The rampant crime, drug addictions, muggings, homelessness, poverty, slum areas you speak of are primarily in Democratic run cities. Democrats Run America's Top 20 Crime-Ridden Cities - Tennessee Star America’s 25 Worst Cities are Democrat-Led – The Answer, New Leaders - AMAC - The Association of Mature American Citizens There is also a shift going on within the US, people leaving certain states in droves for greener pastures.

Left leaning governments by their very nature want to keep pushing the nanny state and gain more and more control over our lives.

You clearly didn't watch the video by John Stossel I posted earlier. If you did you would have seen the answer to the question why then do prices also sometimes drop? Again, your fondness for over-the-top colours and boldface print don't help you make your point.

Biden’s Energy Agenda To Reduce Oil Production And Boost Prices | OilPrice.com Biden’s Plan To Outsource The U.S. Oil And Gas Industry (forbes.com) Yes supply and demand is a real thing. Biden's actions against the US oil and gas industry greatly reduces supply and greatly increases prices. This is Joe Biden's Energy Secretary. Only a complete moron would appoint someone like that. What does that tell you?

Once again, you're just flat out wrong. No evidence to support that. Russia is heavily dependent on energy exports to support it's economy. You're likely not aware of a pipeline called Nord Stream 2 from Russia to Germany. Trump did not in any way support this pipeline which is vital to Russia because it's foolish for any country to depend on Russia for energy. The US could have supplied Germany with all the energy it needed but it didn't happen. Joe Biden basically gave his approval for Nord Stream 2...which greatly benefits Putin. You're also likely not aware that under Biden, the US now is not energy independent..and dependent on Putin and OPEC for oil. Biden acts much more like Putin’s puppet than Trump ever did (nypost.com) Russia Benefits from Biden Oil and Natural Gas Policies - IER (instituteforenergyresearch.org) It's clear to anyone with an ounce of objectivity that Biden/Sanders is the real useful idiot. All the colours of the rainbow which you seem so fond of do not change the facts.

I wouldn't shed any tears if the CBC was defunded but it will never happen. But for the size of their taxpayer funded budget it's not a lot of bang for the buck. The whole point is to attract as big an audience as they can to push their politically correct narrative. CBC viewership hits record lows as subsidies hit record highs - The Western Standard (westernstandardonline.com) The Candice Malcolm Show: CBC’s ratings plummet but still receive more tax dollars than ever! | True North (tnc.news) I can't say the CBC is 100% bad but it's not worth the 1.2 billion plus it gets from us.

Is this the benchmark for Biden? Note to Joe.. you should aim higher. California is a great role model in that the president should definitely not want to make the rest of the country like it.

You post a link showing Biden beating Trump by 13 points in Florida in 2020? Huh? And the point is...? Did Trump not win Florida? I'll give you points for your usual rainbow effect and exclamation marks but the substance is very weak. You didn't answer my earlier question either.

If the established news organizations are so wonderful, trusted and reliable then why are so many people going to other news sources? Lying by omission is a common problem with the established outlets. Think of Hunter Biden's laptops, most of them refused to mention it although it was real. A deranged black guy drives his vehicle into a parade , killing people. It's reported as just an SUV slams into crowd. An Antifa sympathizer drives into protesters against pandemic measures, the CBC does not mention the radical views of the driver. Global, CTV and the CBC aren't all that different from CNN. They are talking about some of the story, but not the whole story because it does not fit the progressive narrative. The major Canadian newspapers aren't much better hence the big decline in circulation. From established tv and newspapers we mostly hear opinion much more than just plain facts. This is one of the sites I like. For example, the MSM in Canada report about a nazi flag being flown at the trucker protest, but this site actually wants to identify the man with the flag! Is the CBC searching for that guy's identity? True North | Breaking Canadian News and Opinion (tnc.news) They do a much better job of reporting the news than the CBC with a pittance of a budget.

Is it just me or does Putin have a history of acting like a kid in a candy store when there is a Democrat in the White House? As with Obama, Biden's weakness invites Russian aggression | Washington Examiner Shouldn't this guy be more worried about his own walking , talking liability? Trump pee tapes? Russia collusion hoax? Hunter Biden is very real. He is out there...having regular interactions with Russians and Chinese actors/agents/hookers.

As bad as Trudeau may be, and he is bad, things could always get worse for Canadians.

I don't agree with all the tactics used by the truckers, blocking roads, blaring horns well into the night, closing borders. I'm not entirely without sympathy to the truckers either. If it were another group doing these same actions, Trudeau might react in a polar opposite way. BLM has used much worse tactics in the US for example and they will not hesitate to use violence as a means to an end, but Trudeau loves BLM. Xi Jinping has got to be smiling now watching all the worldwide civil unrest thanks to unleashing this virus on us. He's the real culprit.

I am using CNN links!? But here goes. CNN Poll: Most Biden detractors say he's done nothing they like since becoming president - CNNPolitics Joe Biden's appproval rating just hit a new low point of his presidency - CNNPolitics You dismiss outright every other source I link to as being illegitimate so these links from CNN might make you uncomfortable. You claims about Biden would have one think that he's doing a fantastic job in his first year as president and things are just coming up roses in every possible way. So what do you make of the above CNN links? In your space are Biden's approval ratings going through the roof? Or will you dismiss the Americans that were polled as ungrateful for Biden's unparalleled record of first year wins?

Your overly dramatic use of boldface and colour does not help you make your point in any way. All you need to do is be reasonable and use better sources for your facts. Right now, at this time, the US is at decades high levels of inflation. Prices for everything have gone up, Americans are getting frustrated and angry. Biden's approval rating is very low and many voters are experiencing voters remorse for having supported Biden. Russia is flexing it's military might against Ukraine. The last time they were this aggressive was when they annexed Crimea during the Obama years, and Obama was not as weak as Biden. China is harassing Taiwan on a daily basis, the most aggressive behavior from them in many years. Never mind the Uyghurs fate. Why are Biden's approval ratings so low now after barely a year? He had vaccines ready and waiting for him when he took office. Why were there more covid deaths under Biden than Trump even when the heavy lifting had been done already regarding vaccines? These are just plain facts, no boldface, no colour or overuse of exclamation points needed.

Biden's policies are increasing demand because his policies are just bad. He created more demand for oil and gas by ...reducing US output and relying more on...Russia and OPEC.? So many things are dependent on transportation which of course depends largely on oil and gas. Naturally it's way more expensive for Americans. I'm fair minded, Trump and the Republicans spent too much as well but just not on things quite as idiotic as Biden.

I don't think even Biden's most enthusiastic supporters can honestly say that this man in any way projects strength. We all get old but Biden is an old man that sounds old. Trump comes across as strong. Putin comes across as strong(but evil). Xi Jinping comes across as strong(really evil).Biden is weak but I concede there are circumstances where he might take bold action, like if the Biden "family" business was threatened. There are millions of dollars flowing from Russia to the Biden family so that's a factor in this Russia/Nato/US showdown.

What do you think? Is this HB Lowrey again?? It sure reminds me of him/her with the anger issues and the intolerance for dissent.

If Russia does have a little piss-and economy it's mainly because of many decades of communism/socialism.

Is this your roundabout way of admitting The Great Barrack Obama himself was WRONG about Russia?

Phoenix68 has lost sight of the most important metric to judge the level of success or failure of a president. Namely, how are the citizens doing doing with day to day life? Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Is the cost of living under Joe Biden today comparable to Donald Trump? Lower? Much higher? The honest answer is, much higher. Food, shelter, the cost of heating homes, the cost of transportation. All of these are much higher and only a fool would deny it. Biden is not solely to blame for the problems in the world but he is by no means blameless either. Most regular Americans don't have access to the level of income that the Biden family does. Perhaps the only thing worse than Biden’s socialist economic policies is the elitist, arrogant attitude that accompanies them. 45% of households say that rising prices are causing them economic hardship, including 71% of those making less than $40,000. Biden’s response? To condescendingly tell them to have some “perspective.” Meanwhile, Democrats have the temerity to brag about gas prices going down two cents last week. Remember, that’s after gas prices have shot up by more than a dollar per gallon because Biden is punishing American energy producers. The data confirms Biden is squandering the economic recovery he inherited from President Trump so he can appease the likes of AOC by pursuing a radical political agenda. The good news for Biden is that this is the last jobs report to be released this year. The bad news is that unless he starts reversing his failed policies, Americans can expect more of the same failures going forward.

HB Lowrey is that you?

Biden might also want to thank many of the Republican led states for their help. As terrible as November’s jobs numbers were, Biden is lucky in one regard: they would be even worse if it weren’t for Republicans stepping in to lead where Biden is failing. Ever since the pandemic began, Republican governors have been leading economic recoveries in their states and getting their citizens back to work. 17 of the top 20 states for jobs recovered are led by Republican governors. The top 11 states are all Republican-run. But instead of taking cues from Republican leaders and their proven, conservative policies, Biden is doubling down on his failing agenda.

Joe Biden...greatest President ever??Perhaps in your world he is. Americans have watched helplessly as prices have skyrocketed on everything from gas to groceries on Biden’s watch. As we head into the winter months, Americans are about to endure a brutal stretch where they will have to shell out up to 50% more than in previous years to heat their homes. Inflation is wiping out any wage gains people might be seeing. The Biden administration now concedes that higher prices are here to stay, a complete about-face from their earlier assurances that inflation was only “transitory.” Unaffordable prices are only one component of the economic calamity Biden has created. As Americans do their Christmas shopping they are seeing empty shelves because of Biden’s supply chain crisis. Small businesses that suffered for more than a year under Democrat-led lockdowns are finally starting to recover and are eager to hire again. The problem is that they can’t find any workers. Despite there being more than 10 million job openings there is still a persistent labor shortage because Biden paid people not to work.

Yes President Biden has managed to set 40 year inflation records, exasperate shortages, and help destabilize both the ME and Europe. China, Russia, Iran, North Korea etc are all much happier since Biden took office. Even as a Canadian I would much rather have Trump still in office.
