If you would like to understand what is taking place in the United States, these two virtually adjacent stories at Lucianne.com will provide you with most of what you need to know. First this:
Washington—The Biden administration has approved a significant and permanent increase in the levels of food stamp assistance available to needy families—the largest single increase in the program’s history. Families in October have seen the average benefits for food stamps (officially known as the SNAP program) rise more than 25 percent above pre-pandemic levels. The increased assistance is indefinite to all 42 million SNAP beneficiaries. The aid boost was first reported by The New York Times and the details were confirmed by a spokeswoman for the Department of Agriculture. They were formally announced by Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. The aid boost is being packaged as a major revision
And then this:
President Biden accelerated the regulatory state on his first day in office by ordering agencies to consider aspirational but vaguely defined goals and benefits when imposing new rules on businesses large and small. The order greenlighting regulations even when the benefits “are difficult or impossible to quantify” sent shudders down the spines of CEOs. They fear business growth will be smothered in pursuit of vague objectives such as “human dignity” and “the interests of future generations.” “It is the most aggressive thing I’ve ever seen by an administration,” said Doug Holtz-Eakin, president of the American Action Forum, a right-leaning economic think tank. “It’s one thing to put out
The American economy is disappearing under the weight of impossible regulations while welfare is replacing work as the means for paying the bills. This is socialism American style. And if you wish to understand the dynamic, let me again suggest you have a look at my article in Quadrant on The True Meaning of Conservative Thought.
This is consistent with the takeover. Watch it if you dare.

OMG! He, she, it said ‘men and women’, the horror! ?
Lately the Biden regime has been saying empty supermarket shelves mean that proles have to learn to live with less.
The photos of empty shelves in supermarkets today compare interestingly with the empty shelves in the Soviet Union and Venezuela.
It take real balls to argue that squalor is virtuous.
Washington Post Demands ‘Spoiled’ Americans ‘Lower Expectations’ in ‘Biden’s America’ (20 Oct)
Meanwhile that nice Mr Buttigieg, who is Transportation supremo, has emerged from his/her 2 months of kiddie leave not to fix transport snafus in US but to go attend the Glasgow climapalooza. I hope his/her adopted children will survive long enough to forgive him.
Local Woolies a mad-house this morning as we finally have covid cases in town. Staff run off their feet packing orders for collection. Glad I stocked up a month ago anticipating this, won’t need to shop again for another month. We are not that far behind US in regulation and coercion. Shelves rapidly emptying, none absolutely empty YET. Boss girl told hubby she is driven to tears with staff who are vaxxed but “don’t want to do customer service to the public” (ie cash register duty), and she will probably be forced to put off the unvaxxed staff (many). Nightmare for her and she is a lovely capable person, I feel so sorry for her.
Also add
– The coordinated program to flood as many illegal immigrants as possible, and as quickly as possible, to into American cities
– The enforced integration of CRT into every educational institution and organisation across the land
– The enforced vaccination of America’s working and middle classes, along with the rank and file in the defence forces
It’s not a communist takeover, it’s the planned destruction of the United States.

The goal of putting in the likes of Biden & Kamel Toe – destroy the USA – but loot it whilst doing so.
And Emperor Xi gets to rule the world.
BoN, I get the feeling that even the insiders in the Biden administration want to keep Mayor Pete away from the office as much as possible, where at least he can’t make things worse.
I think America is gone. It sunk on November 3 2020. I doubt it can recover.
Male workforce participation in the US has been dropping consistently since the Obama years.
The US clearly has developed deep flaws in culture. But they are more to do with pissants in power than any system. In what country can children under 8 years be taken from school in handcuffs and detained in a jail on the basis of a spurious claim that they were “involved” in a kids’ fight that was posted on FB? This happened in Tennessee in a County that jailed 500 minors and ran its facility as a profit centre. (Currently evidenced in a Supreme Court action.)
Indonesia has a better, fairer and more reliable national voting system than many parts of the US today. All because minor power brokers invent rules to slice and dice electors to their advantage. This great democracy has no independent electoral authority.

Isn’t he still on ‘parental’ leave with his ‘husband’, in the middle of the supply chain crisis?
He just came back from his secret leave and now they are packing him straight off to Glasgow.
Clearly Mayor Pete is not required around the office.
42 million people on welfare and climbing out of a population of 33o million.
That should work out well.
