What For..

 

Rates..

 

The Federal Reserve ordered the largest interest hike in more than two decades as part of its escalating campaign to battle stubbornly high inflation. 

The central bank raised its benchmark rate by half-a-percentage point, following a quarter-point increase in March.

The Blame Game..

 

Leak..

 

Fiasco..

 

Now We are Marching to another War- We call it Freedom War. The Ukraine/Russia conflict.

Another Fiasco that will hurt the American people and the poor people of the world and the outcome is misery for the people of many nations. Just pure misery. Look around Brandon.

Just a "Miserable" thought.

Ratings..

 

Americans harbor some of the most downbeat views on the economy since the recovery from the Great Recession, and some of their attitudes are in line with those seen only during recessions.

Amid soaring inflation, 47% of the public say the economy is “poor,” the highest number in that category since 2012. Only 17% rank the economy as excellent or good, the lowest since 2014.

Only one in five Americans describe their personal financial situation as “getting ahead,” the weakest showing in eight years. Most say they are “remaining in place,” and one in 10 say they are “falling backward.” Meanwhile, 56% say they expect a recession in the next year — a level only achieved in the survey during an actual recession.

 The pessimism is clearly dragging on Americans’ opinions of President Joe Biden. In fact, nothing looks to be working in the Biden presidency from the public’s viewpoint.

The president’s approval rating sank to a new low of just 38%, with 53% disapproving. Biden’s -15% net approval rating is measurably worse than his -9% approval in the CNBC December survey. What’s more, his approval rating on the economy dropped for a fourth straight survey to just 35%, with 60% disapproving, putting the president a deep 25 points underwater.

The president also saw double-digit declines, on a year-over-year basis, in economic approval among key constituencies who helped to put him in office: women aged 18-49, people of color and young Americans aged 18-35.

Ukraine..

 

Hours earlier, Pelosi and her delegation met with Zelenskyy. "We are visiting you to say thank you for your fight for freedom," 

 "Your fight is a fight for everyone, and so our commitment is to be there for you until the fight is done."

Did the Democratic Administration look for a way out of the Domestic problems that is impacting poor people much more than rich ones. A they say "Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho" to war we go. Just a thought.

An optical illusion and its hidden images can reveal lots about your personality – depending on what image you see first.

So, do you see a dark-haired woman sitting on the ground, or a face with a really wide jaw area?

According to the video of the illusion if you saw a dark-haired woman then you have “sharp observational skills and an eye for detail.

“Also, you’re a reserved and introverted person,” the narrator explained.

“When you’re surrounded by too many people, you get tired real fast. “People see you as the quiet and shy type.”

“You do make it kinda hard for others to get to know you, but you genuinely enjoy your solitude and don’t feel lonely or rejected whatsoever.”

On the other hand, if the first thing you saw was a face with a really wide jaw area, you’re more likely to neglect details and go for the big picture.

“You’re likely more on the extroverted side.” “Socialising, chatting and hanging out with your friends and acquaintances gives you energy instead of being draining like it would for an introvert.”

Declared..

 

It’s all very well that President Biden and his European allies have repeatedly assured us they have absolutely no intention of getting involved in a direct military confrontation with nuclear-armed Russia.

But, frankly, it’s not so difficult to see that promise being swept aside in the face of unexpected pressures and changing circumstances. It’s not hard to imagine the war in Ukraine careening off in ever more dangerous directions.

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin that the US aims to weaken Russia so much that it can't attempt a military incursion like the one in Ukraine again.
"We want to see Russia weakened to the degree that it can't do the kinds of things that it has done in invading Ukraine." 

*****Did this administration joining the war against Russia without the Congress approval nor the United States Citizens approval?
Did we just declare war? Is that for Biden to keep his hold on power?
