The Dem’s Inflation-Fighting Plan Is
A Cruel Joke

Today the Democratic House takes a strong step to bring down crucial kitchen table costs of the pump and grocery store and across the board.” That’s the transcript of what House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on the House floor before all but five of her fellow Democrats voted for the “Lower Food and Fuel Costs Act” last week. Pelosi’s garbled syntax aside, the only thing this bill would lower is the public’s trust in anything Democrats say these days. Despite its title, this bill would expand government but do nothing – repeat, nothing – to lower prices today, tomorrow, or any time in the future.

Inflation is caused by governments spending money that they don’t have. In the case of today's inflation your Global Marxist Communist democrats/republicratsGOPeRino's and voters have approved the spending of $5 Trillion dollars that they do not have, plus with plans of spending another $3 Trillion dollars before the end 2024. 91% of their first $1.5 Trillion went to democrat controlled states and cities to pay for their debt incurred by their continuous spending billions more than they have incoming taxes. October 25, 2020 Biden himself with a slip of his tongue, for once told the truth of the Marxist Communist democrats. Speaking to former Barack Obama staffers on Pod Save America, host Dan Pfeiffer asked Biden what his message was to people who have not yet voted. https://youtu.be/C6u1uKznCYw --- You need not watch the whole interview. His vote Fraud confession begins at 18:10. Joe Biden: “Well, first of all, you know, uh, what really rankles, uh, my opponent is I say that, uh, the thing that bothers him most is he’s not a patch on Barack’s jeans.” “Secondly, we’re in a situation where we have put together — and you’d [sic] guys, did it for our, the president Obama’s administration, before this — we have put together, I think, the most extensive and and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics. So there you have the cause of America's historic inflation.

Babylon Bee gets it right: Congress to impeach Putin for his handling of US economy. We are in situation where the Federal Reserve is going to increase the unemployment rate by raising interest rates in order to combat the inflation caused by Biden’s anti fossil fuel and anti business policies. Question is how high will unemployment rate have to rise from current 3.8%.

Comical how this administration claims that it is going to solve problems that their own policies caused or made worse. 1. inflation - their spending and energy policies have all been inflationary. The increased price of diesel used in farming and logistics along with fertilizer price increases and shortages are responsible for a large part of the PPI increase. 2. Shortages and suppy chain issues - they were warned about the baby formula plant closing was going to cause shortages back in February, and the administration ignored it until May when it had become a crisis. Their vaccine mandates for a vaccine that does not even confer sterilizing immunity has contributed to the worker shortage that their spending give-away programs have made even worse. Too much money chasing too few goods equals worse inflation. 3. Airline flight cancelations - the latest predictable crisis caused and made worse by the administration with their pointless vaccine mandates. The absentee Secretary of Transportation is now threatening the airlines, for the brewing mess that he has ignored until his own flight was cancelled and he was personally inconvenienced. This inept, incompetent administration couldn't organize a two car funeral. Oh, but their appointees are all historic ''firsts'' in a lame attempt to virtue-signal and pander to every imaginable minority group.

They have absolutely NO intention of doing anything that is actually good for the middle class. They intend to grind the middle class into oblivion. The middle class is a problem for extreme leftists, they hate the "Bourgeoisie", as Marx, their great hero, called the middle class. They have been wanting to destroy these "Bourgeoisie" for over a century, it is one of their most important goals.

The only effect that increasing the use of ethanol can possibly have on inflation is to increase the cost of just about everything. Less corn for food and animal feed increases the cost of any foods made with corn or any meat made from livestock that are fed corn. Because of the rising costs of these foods, people will start eating more of other foods instead, increasing the costs of other foods as well. Ethanol is far less efficient and requires more gallons per mile than gasoline, so increasing the percentage of ethanol requires consumers to buy more fuel and more frequently. Gasoline does not magically appear in gas stations but must be trucked in by trucks using diesel fuel. Increasing the number of fuel shipments to gas stations will increase demand and therefore the cost of diesel fuel, increasing the cost of every product that is shipped anywhere.

The Clintons are back at the top of the news, claiming in recent separate interviews that we are at risk of “losing our democracy.” Of course we’re not a democracy, and shrieking about “losing” it is the Democrats’ cover for their campaign to achieve absolute and unchallenged political power in this country. And no one is more to blame for that than the Clintons. In an interview with talk show host James Corden, a hopelessly silly man who apparently fawns over every Democrat he talks to, Bill said he believes “there’s a fair chance that we could completely lose our constitutional democracy for a couple of decades

If there’s a topic uppermost on most people’s minds today, it is certainly the surge in inflation over the past year. Soaring prices have affected virtually every person in the country. And Americans say they know who’s responsible: President Biden. Surprisingly, that includes more than half of all Democrats, too. May’s 8.6% annualized inflation rate, the highest in 40 years, shocked financial markets and alarmed consumers and workers alike. As we’ve been reminded over the years, inflation acts as a tax on everyone, lowering standards of living, raising costs across the board, and eroding the very foundations of a productive economy. And once entrenched, it’s very difficult to get rid of.

No doubt about it, the economic news in recent weeks has been relentlessly negative. Indicator after indicator shows activity plunging sharply in key parts of the economy. Now, a widely followed indicator signals economic growth is likely to be zero in the current quarter, after the first quarter’s “unexpected” 1.4% decline. Buckle up, looks like we’re entering a recession, folks. Let’s review just some of the economic carnage of recent days: The Fed raised interest rates by 3/4 of a percentage point on Wednesday, the largest hike since 1994,

On day 487 in office, President Joe Biden set a new record. He has the lowest approval rating of all presidents at this point in their presidencies since Gallup started tracking this in 1945. According to Gallup’s Presidential Job Approval Center, just 41% approve of the job Biden is doing. That’s worse than Gerald Ford, or Lyndon Johnson, or even Jimmy Carter on day 487. Much worse than Ronald Reagan, the Bushes, Bill Clinton, or Barack Obama. To add insult to his injury, Biden’s approval rating is now lower than Trump’s was at this point in Trump’s first term. Biden’s oh-so-presidential response to his cratering support: he is “seething.”

Inflation in May hit 8.6%, the highest level since 1981, much higher than the expected 8.2% increase, and despite all the “expert” predictions that inflation had already peaked. Is it any wonder that nobody believes what the elites tell us anymore? President Joe Biden said on Friday that he “is going to continue to do everything we can to lower the prices for the American people.” Like what? By attacking oil companies and blaming Putin? If the experts were right, Biden wouldn’t have to do anything, because they were all exclaiming in April that inflation had peaked and would soon be heading downward.

Fewer than half of all Americans are convinced that the Democrats’ Jan. 6 Commission is making an honest attempt at discovering the truth about the mostly peaceful political demonstrations that took place on Capitol Hill that day, the latest data from the I&I/TIPP Poll show. Some 44% of Americans said they were either “very confident” (21%) in the committee’s investigation or “somewhat confident” (23%) that the Democrat-dominated Jan. 6 Commission “will make a genuine effort to uncover the truth.” The online poll of 1,310 adults was taken from June 8 to June 10. It has a margin of error of +/- 2.8 percentage points.

It’s bad enough that someone in America could become so unhinged by nonstop far-left media propaganda that he’d try to kill a Supreme Court justice. But far worse is the blasé reaction by the Democratic Party and its extreme-left pro-abortion allies to the attempted murder of Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Following his arrest in the early hours Wednesday, Nicholas John Roske told federal law enforcement officials that he intended to kill Kavanaugh. He was, he said, angry that the Supreme Court might soon overturn the Roe v. Wade abortion decision — which, by the way, would only mean that states,

"Deliberate and intentional. Two words you can expect Republicans to utter a lot more as they make the case that what ails America now isn’t an accident. It’s Joe Biden’s design.” That’s how Just the News’ John Solomon characterizes the shift in tone among Republicans in the runup to the midterm elections this fall. The leftist media is sure to attack this sort of language as crazy and dangerous QAnon conspiracy talk.

A 1987 television miniseries that visualized the condition of the U.S. a decade after the country had surrendered to the Soviet Union was probably not far off the mark. Life in “Amerika” was nothing like life in America before the Soviet takeover. Though the USSR no longer exists, life in this country in 2022 feels like Amerika due to transformational changes brought by virulent inside influences, just as Nikita Khrushchev said would happen. The U.S. is not a single-party state. There are pockets of resistance to the progressive agenda, most notably in Texas and Florida. But the effort

Barack and Michelle Obama's multiyear deal with Amazon's podcast platform Audible is worth at least $20million, experts have claimed. The couple will have to contribute two shows and appear in up to eight episodes each, the industry insiders said. The move will give the former first lady the scope to make less personal appearances than what was wanted under their former partnership with Spotify, the sources said. Audible said the pair plan to use their new platform to 'tell stories that elevate diverse voices and and experiences'. The Obamas cut ties with Spotify after reportedly clashing with the streaming giant over exclusivity and how much they were expected to appear in episodes.

Their model, calculated in May when just 728 cases were confirmed or suspected globally, suggests the outbreak will largely affect the men who have sex with men community, while a surge in cases among other groups is 'unlikely'.
