Right alongside Captain Obvious, we need a “Who Cares” wastebasket.

I don’t.  Leave these “news stories” for the English presstitues like the Daily Mail or the Guardian.  

Nor do I care for old women showing off their bodies. At least young women have something entertaining for soft pron. All the women have the same assets; some surgically enhanced.  

Show me the women and men who are doing heroic or admirable feats of humanity.  Like the lady who planted a barren field with a humongous number of trees.  Or the young boy who build a windmill to irrigate the family plow and save them from starvation.  Or the man who prevent several hundred suicides by being on watch.

That’s news that is newsworthy.

Argh!

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen just admitted what the rest of Americans already knew: high prices are here to stay. Example? Food prices (CPI) are up over 20% under Inflation Joe while gasoline prices are up 38% under Clueless Joe. On the housing front, the Case-Shiller National Home Price Index is up 33.2% under Biden. And Freddie Mac’s 3-year mortgage rate is up 154% under Biden’s leadership (c’mon man! Obama is pulling the strings on Puppet Joe). Speaking during an interview with ABC News Live over the weekend, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen admitted prices aren’t going down, contradicting arguments repeatedly made…
