Have you seen the Democrats are already circling the wagons to claim two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth isn't a recession? Actually I think it is two quarters of negative GDP which means a big down Q1 with a small up Q2 that still shows a 2 quarter decline in real GDP has been called a recession in the past. Perhaps for limousine liberals it isn't but for those that rely on their handouts, it sure is. I'd love to see a Manchin/Gabbert ticket replace Biden/Harris.... but the party I think fears Trump will get all these voters who are suffering with inflation. What do you think? I told @DonLemon: The White House is right in saying whatever the Thursday GDP number, it doesn’t prove we are in a recession now. The claim that we are in a recession if GDP number is negative is made by people either ignorant of economics or looking to make political points. https://t.co/NPejNPFJDy — Lawrence H.

Should Pelosi land in Taiwan and spark yet another foreign policy issue? Why would she do this now? Is it to take people's attention off massive inflation caused by policies in the "West" (US and EU mostly) to make fossil fuel more expensive to push people away from them but forgetting to get the largest countries, China and India, on board with this plan? Or after taking profits in their massive ($5M in call options?) short term speculations on the chip bill, did she and recently arrested for DUI hubby Paul make some key investments in the sector that would profit from this new turmoil? I can't see any reason to make tensions worse with China now... other than maybe voters don't switch from Dem to GOP when war sabers are rattling? Would this make good poll?
