2 consecutive quarters of NEGATIVE GDP. Very likely we will have a 3rd as well since Biden thinks he can spend his way out of it with your tax dollars.
2 weeks ago I bought a brand new Toyota Highlander from Irvine Toyota. They said it was only the fourth one they sold this year. Not because they don’t have buyers, but because it’s only the 4th one they received from the manufacturer. Is that the government’s fault or is that a failure of capitalism?
This is what is curbing GDP right now.

The lie is releasing oil from the SPR artificially lowered the price of gas. It’s a drop in the bucket of the U S daily consumption.
Trump filled the SPR? That’s easy to do when you have 3% GDP growth and 16% unemployment

plus Biden’s release of the SPR.
That may account for a few pennies on the price of gas.
The main causes for high gas prices are:
Constrained supply of oil due to oil companies slowing their drilling under the pressure of stock holders to boost profits and dividend payments.
Constrained refining capacity. We have had two major refineries in Philadelphia and Houston shut down because the long term prospects for gasoline are dim.
The war in Ukraine has caused the global market to put limits on Russian oil purchases.

East Asians have a tendency to achieve many good outcomes. I’m not an Asian supremacist for recognizing that biology plays a part in that, nor am I racist for thinking that biology has something to do with the demographic makeup of sports leagues.
So there is something in an Asian’s biology that makes them good at computers, I see. And even their eyes are designed to be in a constant squint for the bright light of a computer screen. You are so right about and I never even thought about that.
Keep digging genius!

51.2% in 2019
Considering blacks are way more likely to be poor and discriminated against I’d say that number is not surprising. And it hardly shows murder is a charge that benefits white people. They are responsible for 46% of all murders.

So in my very response, you show that I rejected the label of “inferior”, as it is not something I believe.

Ha, liar. I screen shot your comment. I knew you would deny it later just like Trump always does.
Here’s the exact quote:
My question:
1. Blacks are an inferior race of human beings.
2. Blacks have been subjected to systemic racism for hundreds of years in this country.
Which do you believe is true?
Your response:
First off, I prefer the term 'differently abled', not 'inferior'
Why are those positions mutually exclusive?
Can't it be the case that, yes, there was discrimination in the past and that there are also biological differences that will never lead to every group
achieving the same average level of success in life?

It seems to be the case from what you said that if most (>50%) murderers were black, then having laws outlawing murder would be white supremacist
It might seem that way to a racist idiot like yourself. And cite your source for most murders are committed by mostly blacks.
I already answered your question saying only if the law against murder only applied to black people, which it does not.

Trump Has Condemned White Supremacists”
Read the article and it’s obvious Trump is sending signals to the white supremacists that he is on their side.
If I called you an idiot 10 times a day but also said you were a smart guy once a day, what would be the overall effect of my words?
Here’s what Trump said according to your attached article:
The day of that incident Trump said, “We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence, on many sides. On many sides.” Trump said he had spoken to Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, and “we agreed that the hate and the division must stop, and must stop right now. We have to come together as Americans with love for our nation and true affection — really — and I say this so strongly — true affection for each other.”
The “many sides” language is a qualifier and a dog whistle to the neo-nazis. It says, you guys were provoked! And Does anyone really believe Trump’s comment here about “coming together as Americans…with true affection for each other” is sincere and consistent with his predominant rhetoric?
Two days later, on Aug. 14, 2017, Trump issued a statement from the White House, and referred to “KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans.”
So he wasn’t recorded saying these things, instead someone in the White House, certainly not Trump, wrote this statement and issued it. A written statement issued indirectly by others around Trump does not have the impact of Trump saying these words on television. The white supremacists are likely to not even connect that written statement to Trump.
Then in another press conference he says this:
“You had a group on one side that was bad,” Trump said. “And you had a group on the other side that was also very violent.” He added, “I’ve condemned neo-Nazis. I’ve condemned many different groups, but not all of those people were neo-Nazis, believe me. Not all of those people were white supremacists by any stretch.”
Not exactly a strong condemnation here. I have condemned them (in a written statement penned by someone on my staff) I condemned “different groups”
(these unheard of white supremacy groups like the KKK) but there were just a few bad apples there. (disregard the hundreds carrying torches saying “Jews will not replace us”)
Trump: Excuse me, they didn’t put themselves down as neo — and you had some very bad people in that group. But you also had people that were very fine people on both sides. You had people in that group – excuse me, excuse me. I saw the same pictures as you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down, of to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name.
Trump has been clear he thinks Confederate monuments should stay. These are memorials to slavery, racism, and white supremacy designed to intimidate black people in those areas they are displayed.
Trump: It’s fine, you’re changing history, you’re changing culture, and you had people – and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally – but you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists, okay? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly. Now, in the other group also, you had some fine people, but you also had troublemakers and you see them come with the black outfits and with the helmets and with the baseball bats – you had a lot of bad people in the other group too.
Here Trump says “they should be condemned totally” but that’s different than saying I condemn neo-Nazis and white nationalists they are terrible people.

You just have to consider that these people aren't going to support a Democrat, and will instead try to fight for the leader who they think is significantly better.
So, why do white supremacist think Trump is significantly better? Is it because they think Trump is a racist like them and Biden is not like them?

White Supremacist is sentenced to 4 years in prison for his role in the 1/6 insurrection.
Hale-Cusanelli, 32, worked as a security guard at Naval Weapons Station Earle and lived on the base in Colts Neck, N.J. In addition to being a supporter of President Donald Trump, the man was a white supremacist who supported Nazi ideology and admired Adolf Hitler, even wearing a “Hitler mustache” to work, the government said in court filings. But U.S. District Judge Trevor N. McFadden ruled that Hale-Cusanelli’s racist preferences were too prejudicial to present to a jury, though he did allow the defendant’s comments that he wanted a civil war to come into evidence.
Is it because Trump welcomes their support? Is it because Trump speaks their language and uses racist dog whistles? Is it because they believe Trump is a racist?

Are you capable of defining that term?
White supremacy policies? Yes, we used to call them Jim Crow laws. Laws that favor white people over black people, people of means over people with low income and assets, segregation, separate but equal court rulings, laws that disenfranchise blacks from voting and weaken their power in government such as racially inspired gerrymandering. Laws that end up underfunding drinking water in black neighborhoods and cities. There are even some Americans who think blacks are biologically inferior to whites.

John Philippe Rushton (December 3, 1943 – October 2, 2012) was a Canadian psychologist and author. He taught at the University of Western Ontario until the early 1990s, and became known to the general public during the 1980s and 1990s for research on race and intelligence, race and crime, and other purported racial correlations.[1] He theorized a heritable component in altruism and developed Genetic Similarity Theory.
Rushton's work has been heavily criticized by the scientific community for the questionable quality of its research,[2] with many academics arguing that it was conducted under a racist agenda.[3] From 2002 until his death, he served as the head of the Pioneer Fund, an organization founded in 1937 to promote eugenics,[4][5] which has been described as racist and white supremacist in nature,[6][7][8] and as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.[9] He also published articles in and spoke at conferences organized by the white supremacist magazine American Renaissance.[10]
Rushton was a Fellow of the Canadian Psychological Association[11] and a onetime Fellow of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation.[12] In 2020, the Department of Psychology of the University of Western Ontario released a statement stating that "much of [Rushton's] research was racist"
was "deeply flawed from a scientific standpoint", and "Rushton's legacy shows that the impact of flawed science lingers on, even after qualified scholars have condemned its scientific integrity."[1][13] As of 2021, Rushton has had six research publications retracted.[14][15]

Imagine Ken Paxton investigating everyone
That’s ironic considering Ken Paxton is under investigation?
Ken Paxton, the Trump-backed attorney general, was indicted and arrested on criminal securities-fraud charges that are still pending. He has faced calls for his resignation after several of his top aides claimed he abused his office by helping a wealthy donor. And he has been serving as the state’s top lawyer while under threat of a possible new indictment, as the F.B.I. investigates the abuse-of-office and bribery accusations.
