Introduction
On this cloudy Sunday, I must have a bit of writing fun. I trust that you will enjoy my sarcastic humor. It helps me overcome my ongoing Corona Myopia Psychosis. Try it! It will work for you too!
The USSA started, on 1/6/2021, Wednesday. The first president of the USSA was inaugurated, on 1/20/2021, Wednesday. That was a work-at-office day for me. (I worked at home Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. I worked at office Wednesday and Thursday – doing the same job, but with the extra 16.4-mile, one-way drive. I digress, however.)
Fact Check #1
Starting on 1/20/2021, a “Farcebook” post was re-posted a few times. (I don't know who posted the original.) I thought that I would “fact check” the post, to help “Farcebook.” My fact checking was done yesterday, on 1/23/2021.
Post: gasoline is currently $2.35 per gallon.
Fact check: $2.379 USA national average on 1/18/2021.
Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA): Petroleum & Other Liquids, as of 1/24/2021.
Post: interest rates are 2.25 percent for a 30 year mortgage.
Fact check source: 1/21/2021 MSN.com article, “30-Year Interest Rates for January 21, 2021.” Details, with my emboldening added for emphasis: “the average rate for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage is 2.88 percent, dropping 2 basis points over the past week. This time last month, the average interest rate on a 30-year mortgage loan was worse, at 2.92 percent.”
Post: the stock market closed at 30,829.40.
Fact check source: Yahoo Finance article, “Stock Market News for Jan 20, 2021,” by Zacks Equity Research, 1/20/2021. Details, with my emboldening added for emphasis: “The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) gained 0.4% or 116.26 points to close at 30,930.52. Notably, 18 components of the 30-stock index ended in the green while 12 in red. Moreover, the Nasdaq Composite finished at 13,197.18, surging 1.5% or 198.68 points due to strong performance by large-cap tech stocks. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 advanced 0.8% to end at 3,798.91.”
Post: GDP growth for the 3rd Qtr. was 33.1 percent.
Fact check source: U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, “Gross Domestic Product (Third Estimate), Corporate Profits (Revised), and GDP by Industry, Third Quarter 2020,” 12/22/2020. Details, with my emboldening added for emphasis: “Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 33.4 percent in the third quarter of 2020.”
Post: we have not had any new wars or conflicts in the last 4 years.
Fact check: from 2016 – 2020, I don't know of any new USA (USSA) wars or “police actions.” Do you?
Post: North Korea has been under control and has not been testing any missiles.
Fact check: well, it looks as if they have launched several missile tests from 2016 to 2020.
The last one was on March 2, 2020. Note that one source is Wikipedia, “List of North Korean missile tests.” I don't rely on Wikipedia for completely accurate details. Many websites have details. The Wikipedia listing sums up the details fairly accurately.
Post: ISIS has not been heard from for over 3 years.
Fact check: well, ISIS hasn't called me – ever. I don't find anything in the news, from 2016 to 2020.
Post: the housing market is the strongest it has been in years.
Fact check: well, I don't doubt that. I have fought and won a tie, with Knox County, on our property value. I know it. I have my records to prove it.
Post: homes have appreciated at an unbelievable rate and sell well.
Fact check: see my last comment. This is redundant.
Post: peace deals in the Middle East were signed by 4 countries.
Fact check: Well, at 5:52 PM, on 1/23/2021, Saturday, supper is almost ready. I will grant that this is correct. I will not take the time to research it. The Middle East has been, at least, more quiet, from 2016 through 2020.
Post: unemployment at 6.7%.
Fact check:
Jan. 1, 2016 4.90%
Jan. 1, 2017 4.70%
Jan. 1, 2018 4.10%
Jan. 1, 2019 4.00%
Jan. 1, 2020 3.60%
Nov. 1, 2020 6.70%
Fact check source: Multpl.com, “US Unemployment Rate by Year.” The breakdown by month is available also. 2020 had high monthly numbers that decreased. The myopic reaction to the new cold virus caused the increases.
Whoever made the original post was close to exact. Oh, well, I have this article. It will be available, to compare to data in the new USSA (Ununited Socialist States of America) that is coming soon -- to a gulag (Glavnoye Upravleniye Ispravitelno-Trudovykh Lagerey; Chief Administration of Corrective Labor Camp) near you! We must remember: we are still in the “good economic times.” Wait for the economic disaster. It will come, in a few months.
Fact Check #2
In my effort to help “Farcebook,” I will “fact check” another re-post. Today, I have seen re-posts of an original article. The original article is: “Biden ‘Stepped Up Basis’ Facebook Post,” on Truth or Fiction? By Kim LaCapria, 12/18/2020.
I found two articles, from socialistic media sources, that appear to agree. The first article was “The Potential for Major Estate Tax Changes during the Biden Administration,” on Daily Herald, 1/18/2021.
The second article was “This is how Joe Biden will tax generational wealth transfer,” on CNBC, by Darla Mercado, CFP, 3/13/2020.
In time, we will see if the first president of the USSA acts on his promise. The increased redistribution of wealth is the main goal, in the early days, of this new socialist order. Of course, the redistribution of wealth, in the former USA, had been taking place, since the 1930's.
USSA's First President
I expect nothing more than the realization of his agenda. The socialists control the executive and the legislative branches. They plan to control the judicial branch.
The 2020 Democrat (not Democratic, as they are not) Party Platform is a 92-page document. I have downloaded it and saved it on my computer. The source is PARTY PLATFORM: The 2020 Democratic Platform. I will not take the time to read it. I know the agenda.
The Soviet Union socialists had their platform. I have written about it, in my 1/11/2021 article, earlier this month. They had their agenda. The USSA socialists have their platform. They have their agenda.
The first USSA president is the puppet. Others pull his strings. The first USSA vice president will take his place in a while. The agenda will unfold, to the economic demise of the USSA. It will take time. I give the USSA about 70 years or so.
Conclusion
The USSA is at least 100 years behind the former USSR. We, who affirm biblical values that inspire our conservative mindset, are in the minority. The first century Christians were in the same minority. We must stand, as they stood.
Once we are Home, this temporal aggravation will be in everlasting perspective. Until then, we endure the temporal. We have a sure hope in the everlasting future!
I dare anyone to challenge me. I know that I am right. I will be glad to educate any challengers, if they are brave enough to seek me out.
Please wait, however! I have a second article today. It will be much better. I promise!
