AP. Garland names special counsel to lead Trump-related probes (via Trib Live).

Attorney General Merrick Garland named a special counsel on Friday to oversee the Justice Department’s investigation into the presence of classified documents at former President Donald Trump’s Florida estate as well as key aspects of a separate probe involving the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection and efforts to undo the 2020 election.

New York Post. Jan. 6 panel creates subcommittee to handle ‘outstanding issues’.

The House Jan. 6 committee is creating a subcommittee to handle some of the panel’s unfinished business before it disbands at the end of the year, including examining whether to make criminal referrals to the Justice Department.

Should they? My newly updated book will help you to answer that question. The Biased J6 Select Committee: The Public Hearings Were Half a Trial; This Book Gives You the Other Half.

Breitbart. Merrick Garland Names Special Counsel on Trump; Still No Special Counsel on Hunter Biden.

My newly updated book will enable the reader to see what the investigator is sure to consider in regard to Trump and his claims of election fraud 2020 and his role in the tragic events of January 6, 2021 (J6). The Biased J6 Select Committee: The Public Hearings Were Half a Trial; This Book Gives You the Other Half

As for Hunter and Joe Biden, the background to that is found in my trilogy on the first Trump impeachment: Dems Cannot Beat Trump, So They Impeach Trump. Seee also my book Alleged Corruption, Bias, and Fraud.

Breitbart. Media’s Latest Defense: Joe Biden’s Judgement Unaffected by Hunter’s Business Deals.

The “corruption” part of my book Alleged Corruption, Bias, and Fraud is about this scandal about Hunter and Joe Biden. All that I say there has proven to be true. The same goes for what I say about Joe and Hunter Biden in my Impeach trilogy: Dems Cannot Beat Trump, So They Impeach Trump. But it is nice the media is finally catching up to my reporting.

CBS News. Copy of what's believed to be Hunter Biden’s laptop data turned over by repair shop to FBI showed no tampering, analysis says.

The independent analysis, by two cyber investigators from Minneapolis-based Computer Forensics Services, found no evidence that the user data had been modified, fabricated or tampered with. Nor did it find any new files originating after April 2019, when store records indicate Biden dropped it off for repair.

Yet we were told it was “Russian disinformation” back in 2020, before the election. But now, two years later, the MSM admits it is genuine. They’ve finally caught up with me, as I explained two years ago why it could not be Russian disinformation in Chapter One of my Corruption book, that is “corruption “ of Joe Biden via his son Hunter.

Breitbart. GLAAD Calls Candace Cameron Bure’s Comments ‘Irresponsible and Hurtful,’ Threatens Advertiser Boycott.

I watched a Hallmark movie this weekend. But it was on Peacock, not the Hallmark Channel. I wasn’t going to watch any more Hallmark movies, given their caving to the LGBTQ movement (see Hallmark Channel Email). But this was an older one, from 2016, before that sad move. And the love birds were Dean Cain and Melissa Joan Hart, (Superman and Sabrina the Teenage Witch). Two old shows I really liked, and both again, before the LGBTQ movement ruined TV.

Democrat Lies and Fearmongering About Republican Plans for Medicare and Social Security

Every two and four years, Democrats pull out their tired old lie that Republicans want to cut Medicare and Social Security. They do so to try to scare seniors into voting Democrat. But here are some facts: Medicare and Social Security are going to go broke if changes are not made. But the Dem’s fearmongering will keep those necessary changes from being made until it is too late and the whole pyramid scheme collapses.

In fact, I just heard on the news on 1250 The Answer here in Pittsburgh (on 11/5/22) that the Social Security Administration announced that it will go broke by 2033 if changes are not made, and the New York Times agrees with that assessment.

Democrats and Republicans largely agree Congress will need to ensure the solvency of the programs in the decade to come. Spending for the programs is projected to balloon in the coming decade as more baby boomers retire. The trustees of the Social Security and Medicare trust funds estimate that a key Medicare trust fund will run out of money in 2028 and the main Social Security Trust Fund will be insolvent in 2034, potentially forcing cuts in benefits if Congress does not act to avoid them (NYT . Republicans).

Part of the problem is, people are living longer after retirement, so they collect benefits longer. That is why the retirement age needs to be and should have been raised a long time ago. If that simple fix is not done Social Security will go broke.

Between 1950 and 2010, the additional remaining years expected after age sixty-five increase by 4.9 years for males and 5.3 years for females. Much of these gains took place more recently. Over the course of twenty years—from 1990 to 2010—males reaching sixty-five added 2.6 more years, while females could expect 1.4 more years (Forbes. How Long).

That is why some Repubs are proposing a raise in the retirement age, to keep Social Security solvent. It will not affect those currently receiving Social Security, no matter how much Biden and Dems fearmonger and say that it will.

Some Republicans also want a review to be made of Social Security’s solvency yearly or every five years, depending on the proposal. That’s it. They are not “putting it on the chopping block every five years” as Biden and Dem are claiming. Moreover, neither proposal has much backing, especially not by Mitch McConnell, who will become Majority Leader if Repubs take control of the Senate.

Another problem is back in the 1950s, there were 16 workers to every retiree. Today that is about 3 to 1, and soon it will drop to 2 to 1. The only way for Social Security to remain solvent is a growing population. But our population is not growing.

Part of the reason for that is we killed 63 million preborn Americans in the past 50 years. If not for that holocaust, the majority of those aborted Americans would now be 18-50 years old and paying into the Social Security system, and we would not now have a top-heavy society, where there will not be enough younger people to support the elders on these programs.

Another reason for the stagnate population is American women have not been having enough babies. It takes every woman on average to have 2.1 babies to maintain our population. But it is now less than 1.8 per woman. There are many reasons for that problem, but at its roots is again the killing of unborn babies and women being deceived into thinking a career is more important than being a faithful wife and mother. It is only because of immigration, legal and illegal, that our population did not drop in the last census. But that is still not sufficient to keep Social Security solvent.

The Social Security program matured in the 1960s, when Americans were consistently having fewer children, living longer, and earning wages at a slower rate than the rate of growth in the number of retirees. As these trends have continued, today there are just 2.9 workers per retiree—and this amount is expected to drop to two workers per retiree by 2030.

The program was stable when there were more than 3 workers per beneficiary. However, future projections indicate that the ratio will continue to fall from two workers to one, at which point the program in its current structure becomes financially unsustainable (Mercatus. How Many).

Therefore, Republicans are trying to keep this Ponzi scheme from collapsing, while Biden and Dems have proposed nothing except fear mongering to keep Medicare and Social Security solvent.
