Homeless woman gives brutally honest answer: She has a better handle on crisis than most Dem leaders

A homeless woman has gone viral on Twitter for her rant about the root of the homelessness problem plaguing leftist-run cities across the country.

On Saturday, Kevin Dahlgren, who runs the Seattle-based charity We Heart Seattle, posted a video on Twitter of his interaction with a homeless woman named Wendy, who berated the leftists running the city for the way that they’ve handled homelessness.

According to her, the reason that the homelessness problem is not being solved by the left — and is only getting worse — is that the leftists are making it very easy to be homeless.

“It’s a piece of cake … They feed you three meals a day. You don’t have to do s*** … You wake up, you go eat brunch, get high … Go eat dinner, get high,” Wendy told Dahlgren.

It’s only money: Congress set to pass ANOTHER massive $1.7T spending bill, thousands of pages long, without reading it

(Natural News) In the waning days that they remain in control of Congress, Democrats are set to ram through a one-year spending bill worth $1.7 trillion that runs 4,155 pages — without members having a chance to read it, which has become par for the course with our dysfunctional Legislative Branch.

And worse, there are going to be more than a few Republicans who will vote for it, including several who are retiring and on their way out the door because their districts or their states are getting massive influxes of taxpayer cash.

As reported by Breitbart News, the military-industrial complex gets the lion’s share of the money:

The bill would fund the government through September 2023 and would boost defense spending by $76 billion, totaling $858 billion. Domestic spending is $773 billion.

Sam Bankman-Fried’s parents purchased $121 million in “vacation home” properties in Bahamas using illicit funds from FTX crypto scam

(Natural News) Over the past two years, the parents of Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), the criminal head of the now-defunct FTX cryptocurrency exchange Ponzi scheme, “bought at least 19 properties worth nearly $121 million in the Bahamas,” new reports claim.

Citing official property records, Reuters reports that it was not just “executives” at FTX and Alameda that were stealing investor cash and using it to pad their own pockets and buy expensive properties. SBF and his family were doing the same without shame.

Most of the properties that SBF’s parents bought in the Bahamas using stolen funds were “luxury beachfront homes, including seven condominiums in an expensive resort community called Albany, costing almost $72 million,” we are told.

Keep in mind that all of these properties were officially purchased by a unit of FTX. (Related: Before collapsing under the weight of fraud, FTX had a higher ESG [environmental, social, and governance] score than ExxonMobil.)

According to the properties’ deeds, all of them were to be used as “residence for key personnel.”

“Other high-end real estate purchases include three condominiums at One Cable Beach, a beachfront residence in New Providence,” the Reuters report further reveals.

“Records showed the condominiums cost between $950,000 and $2 million and were bought by Nishad Singh, the former head of engineering at FTX, Gary Wang, an FTX co-founder, and Bankman-Fried for residential use.”

Joe Biden’s America: People Turning Off Their Heat as Prices Skyrocket, ‘Like Living in an Igloo’

Joe Biden’s America.

People in the Northeast are turning off their heat because they cannot afford the skyrocketing energy prices.

One resident is trying to stretch her oil ration by keeping the heat down in her home.

“It’s miserable,” the woman told CNN. “It’s like living in an igloo.”

Other residents in the Northeast say they have to choose between food and heating their homes.

One elder, retired Philly resident said he will keep his house at 50 to 55 and won’t turn the heat on until his “teeth chatter” in an effort to ration his oil because filling his tank costs $1,500.

Don’t Feel Alone – 7 Out of 10 Americans Are Unhappy with the State of the Union – We Are the Tide

(Above map from CNN at 9 am Wednesday morning on the day after the 2022 Election.  At this time, CNN shows House at 199 GOP and 178 Dem seats awarded.) 

As the morning sun rises across the nation, Americans are waking up to the storyline that the Democrats did much better than expected last night.   

This is shocking and disheartening to many Americans.

Don’t feel alone.  Most Americans agree that the country is going in the wrong direction. CNN reported that yesterday in the results of their exit polling.  (And this is from far-left CNN.) 

Looking at the US House map this morning you can see that the country is a sea of red.  Americans won big in many races.

We also know that there were results that never could have occurred in free and fair elections.  In Michigan, the corrupt Governor, SOS, and AG all won.  They were seriously disliked for their actions in the 2020 Election and with COVID.  It’s difficult to believe they won without massive cheating going on.

The DARK WINTER has only just begun: Prepare for YEARS of economic collapse, rigged elections, censorship and government tyranny

(Natural News) In the aftermath of yesterday’s mid-term elections, the only good news is that we have essentially paused some elements of the Democrats’ agenda of total destruction by taking control of the House (as is currently projected but not yet called). This alone will pause the Democrats’ legislative and executive monopoly over America, and it gives the American people a bit of breathing room to try to adjust to the disturbing reality of what’s coming next.

That’s where the bad news kicks in, because what’s coming next for America (under Democrat rule) is going to be a multi-year “Dark Winter” of economic collapse, food inflation, censorship, tyranny, global war and more rigged elections.

Essentially, after last night’s mid-term election fiasco, the doom and gloomers have been proven right, while those claiming the “white hats” would come to rescue everybody are left floating in the wind.

BIDEN ECONOMY: With Inflation at 40-Year Highs, 4.5 Million Americans Turn to Second Job

The number one issue in today’s midterms may be the economy.  This is not because it is good, it’s because the Biden economy is terrible. 

Last week the jobs report came out with bizarre numbers.  The report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) showed an increase in jobs.  But these numbers looked tainted as the measurements overall made no sense. 

A further review of these numbers today shows that more and more Americans are turning to second jobs to get by in the Biden economy.
