HAPPY BIDENOMICS THANKSGIVING
According to Wells Fargo Consumer Thanksgiving report:
"There are record price spreads between the wholesale price supermarkets pay versus the retail prices consumers pay – and the difference is impacting some of the most popular holiday dishes, including turkey and ham."
According to the American Farm Bureau, in 2022, a Thanksgiving dinner for a family of 10 cost $64.05. That was a 20 percent increase from 2021 at $53.31 for the same size family. Since Bidenflation is high, but not as high as last year, this year’s holiday meal for 10 is 4.5 percent less at $61.17.
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) in October was 3.2 percent, but if you look at specific categories, Bidenflation continues to destroy our purchasing power. (Just ask anyone who goes grocery shopping.) Since Joe Biden entered the White House, prices have increased 20.6 percent.
Has your paycheck or Social Security check gone up that much? Below are year-over-year increases on some staple items:
- Baby food & formula 08.3%
- Motor vehicle insurance 19.2%
- White bread 07.1%
- Non-prescription drugs 08.1%
- Frozen vegetables19.7%
- Veterinarian services 08.1%
- Uncooked poultry 07.2%
- Rent primary residene 07.2%
As a reminder, while Bidenflation destroys our purchasing power and our roads, schools, airports, bridges and other infrastructure are literally crumbling, the Biden administration has spent $451 BILLION on illegal alien invaders per annum (at least 7 million including those who got away).
UNIPARTY: Why the Republican party fails Patriots
A key reason many Conservatives are continuously disappointed in the GOP is because there are too many RINOs and not enough America First Patriots serving in Congress. Here are some examples:
- Rather than vote to defund, investigate, or dismantle the weaponized FBI, 70 House Republicans recently voted to APPROVE $300 MILLION in funding for the construction of a bigger and newer FBI headquarters. Maybe the FBI needs more space to go after “domestic terrorists” - probably everyone who reads Patriot Neighbors.
- There won’t be any impeachment of Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas because EIGHT Republicans voted with Democrats to shelve the discussion. Guess these Republicans like the wide-open southern border that has let in at least 7 MILLION unvetted illegal alien invaders:
- Cliff Bentz—Oregon
- Darrell Issa—California
- Ken Buck—Colorado
- Tom McClintock—California
- John Duarte—California
- Patrick McHenry—North Carolina
- Virginia Foxx—North Carolina
- Mike Turner—Ohio
EUROPE: A writer’s view in 2008
After focusing on the immense growth of Muslim populations in Great Britain, France, Germany and Spain, this week we are taking a break from our Europe analysis to share an op-ed by Sebastian Vilar Rodriguez that was published in a Spanish newspaper on January,15, 2008—15 years ago.
“All European Life Died in Auschwitz”
I walked down the streets in Barcelona and suddenly discovered a terrible truth: Europe died in Auschwitz. We killed six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims. In Auschwitz we burned a group of people who represented culture, thought, creativity, talent. We destroyed the chosen people, truly chosen, because they produced great and wonderful people who made great contributions to the world, and thus changed the world.
The contribution of today’s Jewish people is felt in all areas of life: science, art, international trade, and above all, as the conscience of the world. Look at any donors’ board at any symphony, art museum, theatre, art gallery, science center, etc. You will see many, many, Jewish surnames. These are the people who were murdered. Of the 6,000,000 who died, how many would have grown up to be gifted musicians, doctors, artists, philanthropists?
Today, under the pretense of tolerance, and because we want to prove to ourselves that we were cured of the diseases of racism and bigotry, Europe opened our gates to 20 million Muslims, who brought us stupidity and ignorance, religious extremism, lack of tolerance, crime, and poverty ... due to an unwillingness to work and support their families with pride. Muslims have blown up our trains and turned our beautiful Spanish cities into the Third World, drowning in filth and crime. Shut up in the apartments that Muslims receive free from the government, they plan the murder and destruction of their naive hosts.
And thus, in our misery, we have exchanged culture for fanatical hatred, creative skill for destructive skill, intelligence for backwardness and superstition. We have exchanged the pursuit of peace of the Jews of Europe and their talent for a better future for their children, their determined clinging to life because life is holy; for those who pursue death, for people consumed by the desire for death for themselves and others, for our children and theirs. What a terrible mistake was made by miserable Europe.

WHAT THE LEFT IS SAYING
We regularly visit a Facebook page (supposedly with 80,000 followers) of a progressive who appears connected to the Democrat party or one of its tyrannical PACs. She recently discussed her worries that Donald Trump might be re-elected in 2024. We are sharing some of her follower’s comments. Read these comments and ask yourself, “Isn’t this what Republicans say about Democrats?”
- 2024 is our 1933 in history. Either we defeat the enemies of freedom and democracy or we fail and our way of life The American Way ends. If he’s re-elected, that’s the end of America. We’ve got one more chance.
- I love this site. It's comforting to know there are like-minded people like me in this country.
- I’ll never understand how near 50% of the population can stomach him. Even listening to his ignorance and vitriol. Worries me when I’m out in society. One of every two people I meet is just that ignorant. Frightening.
- America, as we know it, will cease to exist. We must not allow that to happen.

The nicest way to say it: Joe Biden is a moron. Think of the situation on Tuesday November 14—less than a week ago. Many Americans think we are on the verge of World War 3. So, during a White House event on November 14, what does Joe “Big Guy” Biden declare as the “ultimate threat to humanity?” Yup, you guessed it: climate change.
Yet, there are still many Democrats who think Joe Biden is doing a great job. South Carolina Democrat Representative James Clyburn wrote in a recent CNN op-ed about how third-party presidential candidates could hurt Biden’s re-election. Clyburn closed his article with:

(Warning: have your barf bag ready.)
“I have served in Congress under five presidents and have known them all. President Joe Biden is among the finest. He has guided this nation with extraordinary skill, deep foresight and abiding decency. His fatherly demeanor and compassionate tone do not engender the attractive headlines and quotable sound bite for which many seem to yearn. But his policies and practices are yielding spectacular results for individuals, their families, and communities."
COMPANIES SUPPORTING ISRAEL
The Walmart Foundation, which is the philanthropy organization of our nation’s largest retailer, has pledged $1 million to an Israeli disaster relief and emergency medical service organization. If you want to share your appreciation with Walmart CEO Doug McMillon:
Email Link: https://www.walmart.com/help/store-feedback, Phone: 800-925-6278, Write: 702 SW 8th Street, Bentonville, AR 72716
Two other companies (and there are many more) that have pledged support to Israel following the horrific October 7 Hamas attack include: Goldman Sachs—pledged $2 million in aid and said it would match employee donations. UBS—it will match $5 million in donations from employees and clients to aid with resettlement for displaced Israelis.
J6er TO RUN FOR CONGRESS
On the LIBERTARIAN side, Arizona Republican Representative Debbie Lasko announced she would not run for re-election in the 8th district. Jacob Chansley, who grew up in the greater Phoenix area, has filed a candidate statement of interest and plans to run for Congress as a Libertarian in the 8th district.
As you will recall, Chansley was a January 6 peaceful protestor who was arrested and found guilty in our current two-tiered justice system. Having patriotic face paint, the bare chested Chansley wearing a horned fur hat, was peacefully ESCORTED around the U.S. Capitol by U.S. Capitol Police. Of course, that’s not what Democrats claimed, but the J6 video shared by Tucker Carlson proved that Chansley was wrongly convicted. He was imprisoned 27 months of a 41 month sentence.
It will be interesting to see if Chansley is elected.
On the REPUBLICAN side, after carefully evaluating the issues, businesswoman and candidate for California’s 33rd Senate district, Sharifah Hardie announced in early November she has joined the Republican party.
"I am running for office to make a difference. I cannot do that if I am not true to myself and my beliefs. California has the highest taxes and the second highest rate of homelessness in this country. Middle-income jobs have declined over the past decade. Too many people are living paycheck to paycheck and are at risk of being unhoused. This needs to change. California is one of the most expensive places to live and it's only getting worse. We need to make it easier for people to live here.
“We need to stop price gouging on prescribed medications, reduce crime and stop teaching radical gender ideology in our public school system. Our children are being indoctrinated with this dangerous rhetoric. It's time we put a stop to it. We have so many issues we need to resolve. It's time we started working on them. We can't continue to ignore the problems California is facing. It's time for a change.”
If you live in Hardie’s 33rd Senate district or know someone who does, encourage them to read her news release about the homeless situation in Long Beach
On the DEMOCRAT side, a recent New York Times/Sienna College poll found Trump’s black support increasing to 22 percent in the six most important battleground states. In 2020, Trump only received 8 percent of the black vote.
It will be a major mistake for Republicans if their entire focus is on Joe Biden. It is doubtful that by the time November 2024 rolls around he will be the Democrat nominee. The focus should be on the multiple failings of the Democrat party. Minnesota Democrat Representative Dean Phillips, who is running against Biden in the primary, recently said:
“We don’t have a Democratic Party problem. We have a Joe Biden problem.”
