Gloria Christie Reports
Hi again! Want some good news? Given how yucky January has been, we deserve it.
Hot off the presses: President Biden is making big economic news. His job numbers rocketed up to 6.6 million in his first year, which has never been seen. His overall economic gains have not been seen for 40 years. Salaries are up. He has worked with the private sector to build semiconductors to cut car prices.
‘“Buy America” is one of his mottos.‘
In other words what we all knew when corporations started sending manufacturing jobs off-shore in the mid-1980s:
‘No jobs, no profits.’
In other words, send the jobs overseas, and you will kill the middle class. President Biden said, '“No competition is exploitation.” Strengthening the supply chair. Child care costs $14,000 a year. His plan cuts that in half. Insulin takes $10 to make and sells for between $650 and $1000. The president says it should cost $35.
Yes, prices are up. But it’s all relative, Baby. It’s all relative
Stay safe! Stay well!

Kinzinger Warns Trump Family That He Will ‘Leave No Stone Upturned’
Donald Trump is becoming more desperate as time passes. His words and actions take on a frightening sort of lunacy. At his weekend rally, the ex-president promised that if he returned to office, he would pardon all the January 6 criminals. It is a stark warning.
Representative Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) had a warning for the Trump family in this tweet:
‘REMINDER: @JANUARY6THCMTE WILL LEAVE NO STONE UNTURNED IN OUR PURSUIT OF THE TRUTH AND TO ENSURE FULL ACCOUNTABILITY. THE FORMER PRESIDENT’S COMMENT ABOUT PARDONS IS DANGEROUS AND REMINDS US, YET AGAIN, HOW UNFIT HE IS FOR OFFICE.’
State Supreme Court Rebuffs GOP Voter Suppression Attempt
The not-so-Grand Old Party has known for decades that its numbers are dwindling. Rather than step up what the Republican leadership can do for its party, they prefer to “cheat honestly” through gerrymandering grotesque shapes. But in breaking news, the New Jersey Supreme Court just threw out a Republican lawsuit.
This lawsuit wanted to toss New Jersey’s congressional map. But that was not all. The suit also wanted to “discredit the redistricting process.” The Democracy Docket reported:
‘[T]HE NEW JERSEY CONGRESSIONAL REDISTRICTING COMMISSION ADOPTED A NEW CONGRESSIONAL MAP. THE COMMISSION MEMBERS VOTED ON PARTY LINES TO ADOPT THE MAP PROPOSED BY THE DEMOCRATIC COMMISSIONERS, WITH COMMISSION CHAIR AND FORMER NEW JERSEY SUPREME COURT JUSTICE JOHN WALLACE, JR. CASTING THE TIE-BREAKING VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE DEMOCRATIC MAP.’
‘The Lincoln Project’ Goes After Donald Trump For Emboldening Nazis
When the leader of an opposition party is a “crude” clown, it is easy to dismiss him. Even when he tells us what he is going to do. Germany made that mistake. Democracy fell “almost overnight,” and look at what the Germans were left holding in history.
The Lincoln Project’s latest video once again pours searing molten lead on our hearts with pictures of emaciated, dead Jews. And others. There were six million executed in the genocide.
The powerful, short video reminds us that “mad, charismatic men and their enablers” captured the German government which was not as strong as others believed:
‘IT STARTED WITH WORDS — WORDS LIKE THOSE WE HEARD IN ORLANDO, FL THIS WEEKEND.’
Jan. 6 Committee Launches Probe Of Attempt To Seize Voting Machines
The House Committee had been sifting through those attempts to build a legal case against Trump. Most recently, it seized upon the ex-president’s various attempts to confiscate the voting machines. It found that Trump was directly involved in three different approaches.
The House Committee had been sifting through those attempts to build a legal case against Trump. Most recently, it seized upon the ex-president’s various attempts to confiscate the voting machines. It found that Trump was directly involved in three different approaches.
The Select Committee started with the outer ring of those known to have some affiliation with January 6. The most obvious were those who stormed and desecrated our symbol of freedom, our Washington, D.C. Capitol Building. Eventually, the circles tightened until they reached the ex-president’s innermost circle of advisors. And they discovered that there was not just the one attempted coup, but many attacks.
Banned-Book Clubs’ Pop Up To Spite Republican Censorship
Teens from the seventh to eleventh grades were eager to begin their first Teen Banned Book Club meeting. The current book banning by ultra-conservatives was reminiscent of Nazis burning 25,000 books on May 10, 1933. Back then, they burned books by Jewish authors. But there were other authors whose books were burned, too. They included “Ernest Hemingway and Helen Keller.”
Young people in Kutztown, Pennsylvania took on the book-banning experience and succeeded in turning it into something powerful. They created the Teen Banned Book Club.
The Nazis’ book-burning was extensive, according to PBS:
‘ON MAY 10, 1933, UNIVERSITY STUDENTS IN 34 UNIVERSITY TOWNS ACROSS GERMANY BURNED OVER 25,000 BOOKS. THE WORKS OF JEWISH AUTHORS LIKE ALBERT EINSTEIN AND SIGMUND FREUD WENT UP IN FLAMES ALONGSIDE BLACKLISTED AMERICAN AUTHORS SUCH AS ERNEST HEMINGWAY AND HELEN KELLER, WHILE STUDENTS GAVE THE NAZI SALUTE.’
Evidence Of Apparent Trump Seditious Conspiracy Published Via ‘NY Times
He has an unfortunate habit of saying his intentions aloud. That worked for Donald Trump for a while, but no longer. Now, his aired statements are called “evidence” in the House January 6th Select Committee investigation.
Members of the Select Committee have discovered the former president was seriously involved in plans “to use security agencies” to retrieve the 2020 Presidential election voting machines. Then, he would look for evidence of “fraud,” according to The New York Times.
This was just one of several attempts to overthrow the Americans’ government. As the time for him to step down drew closer, Trump became more frenetic. He told his former personal attorney Rudy Giuliani to see whether Homeland Security could legally “take control of voting machines in key swing states.”
