The world (and history) is full of men (and women), that will gladly fuck the "L-G-B-T to the Q", behind closed doors (BCD), and yet openly in public, denounce and declare "war" against said group of people.
Republicans Christian and Bridget Ziegler are a great example of said hypocrisy. That is why I called Christian Ziegler, an adulterer, cheater, LGBTQ hypocrite, liar and all-around phony.

The Least Productive Congress Since The Great Depression.
Nov. 15, 2023
https://news.yahoo.com/least-product...013501789.html
With only 21 bills making it into law halfway into November, the 118th Congress, controlled by Republicans in the House and Democrats in the Senate, is on the most sluggish pace to make law since the Congress that met during 1931 and 1932.
Back then, Herbert Hoover was president, the Great Depression had started and talking movies were still new.
Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), part of a group in the House that has stopped several spending bills from advancing to the Senate, saw his frustration boil over on the House floor Wednesday.
"One thing. I want my Republican colleagues to give me one thing one! that I can go campaign on and say we did, he said. Anybody sitting in the complex, if you want to come down to the floor and come explain to me, one meaningful, significant thing the Republican majority has done.

"I hate to break this to you, but God is a Republican. You're a good man EihTooms. And I want you to be prepared when you meet your maker.
I too will continue to pursue the work I was sent into this world to do, that is, converting Democrats to small government, free market liberalism.
You're a really tough nut to crack, and it will be quite a feather in my cap if I can bring you around. It would be like converting Mohammed to be a Methodist. I'll keep trying. "
I'm a militant atheist, but if there was a god I'm sure he wouldn't be a democrat, which are a bunch of evil baby killers.
And most republicans that would rather permanently destroy the Globes natural environment and enslave the entire planet for an extra 0. 025% return on investment.

"Nope. It isn't any "magical" factor like merely the Party of the elected officials in office at a given time when a given result occurs. It is about the legislation passed and stewardship performed by the member of that Party and avoiding doing really dangerous and stupid things. As I have pointed out and substantiated over and over and over again. But apparently not often enough. So I will continue to point it out and substantiate it again and again. Not that I want to. But obviously I need to. LOL.
Hey, maybe the growing crime rates all through the Repub Nixon / Ford years and into the Carter years would have declined dramatically and steadily if only Joe Biden had been a more seasoned, mature, knowlegable, experienced and influential Senator in those years as he was by 1994 and was as a VP under Obama and is now as POTUS. Also, Carter had a much more damaging "thief" to tackle and tame in his 4 years in office than was happening with backyard fence latches being broken and other property crimes, namely the climbing Hyper-Inflation he inherited from his Repub predecessors and that he most definitely had solved months and months and months before Reagan took office.
At least those rates were on the decline in Carter's fourth year in office and that decline is what Reagan inherited from him in 1981. They sure didn't go anywhere but sideways through 12 years of Reagan and Bush1. The serious decline began and continued only after Clinton, Biden and the Dem Congress legislated, repeat, egislated repeat, LEGISLATEDa policy and followed that up with proper stewardship of the details that produced that result. Which is commonly referred to as "work" by elected officials. And that is anathema to Repubs, of course.
Seriously, have you all this time really thought it was all about the "magic" of being a Dem that produced those historic positive results and some "witch's curse" in being a Repub that produced their horrific results? LOL. Clearly, my work is not nearly over. ".

Walgreens backpedals on theft concerns.
Jan. 9, 2023
https://www.axios.com/local/san-fran...edals-on-theft
Walgreens may have overblown concerns about retail theft at its stores, an executive said on a recent earnings call.
What's happening: "Maybe we cried too much last year," the pharmacy chain's chief financial officer, James Kehoe, said on last Thursday's call with investors.
Kehoe noted the shrink rate inventory lost due to theft, fraud or damage decreased from over 3% a year ago to about 2.5% in the second half of 2022, Insider reports.
Flashback: In October 2021, Walgreens announced it was closing five San Francisco stores due to "organized retail crime" in the city.
The following month, San Francisco Police Department data showed the five stores set to close had fewer than an average of two reported shoplifting incidents a month since 2018.
Yes, but: Not all crimes are reported to authorities, especially if they are minor.
Why it matters: The Walgreens announcement was a key rallying point for San Franciscans who successfully pushed for the recall of then-District Attorney Chesa Boudin.
The recent statements could also show that Walgreens' closures were more tied to a shifting retail industry and efforts to cut costs, which Bloomberg reported years ago.

Obama may have been a self-righteous SOB from time to time, but at least he realized from the get go that domestic oil and gas production was good for America.
Do you think we'd have record production if we'd imposed an excess profits tax on oil as recommended by the Institute For Public Policy Research and Common Wealth? See your CNBC link below.

What would happen if we had an excess profits tax on energy, as recommended by one of your articles? Well, the price of oil would be over $100 a barrel and gasoline over $4. 00 a gallon. The reason they're not right now is because USA Oil production is at an all time high, 13.2 million barrels a day, counterbalancing attempts of OPEC and Russia to run up prices by cutting supply. And natural gas and electricity prices would be much higher as well. Right now, the only gas producers who are making money are the ones with oil wells. You can't make money drilling gas wells. If you take all the profits from the oil and gas companies when times are good, they won't, or for that matter can't invest in maintaining and growing production.
In the USA, we have one of the most competitive markets in the world for goods and services. Yes prices for some things are higher because of the strength of the dollar. But our per capita purchasing power is second to none, because of competition. As long as we maintain competition by, for example, enforcing the antitrust laws and not caving to crony capitalism, we'll stay in good shape.

Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viol...nforcement_Act
The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, commonly referred to as the 1994 Crime Bill, or the Clinton Crime Bill, is an Act of Congress dealing with crime and law enforcement; it became law in 1994. It is the largest crime bill in the history of the United States and consisted of 356 pages that provided for 100,000 new police officers, $9.7 billion in funding for prisons which were designed with significant input from experienced police officers. Sponsored by U.S. Representative Jack Brooks of Texas, the bill was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Bill Clinton. Then-Senator Joe Biden of Delaware drafted the Senate version of the legislation in cooperation with the National Association of Police Organizations, also incorporating the Assault Weapons ban and the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) with Senator Orrin Hatch.
And now you also know why the crime rate in New York City declined in that same era coincidentally and for no other Earthly reason under Repub Loony Mayor Rudy Giuliani. LOL.
