The Grinch Who Overpriced Christmas: Biden’s
Christmas Tree Inflation

Original Article

Posted By: ladydawgfan, 12/9/2023 6:41:21 PM

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow … money. The Grinch in the White House is at it again, as inflation drives up the price of Christmas trees. I’m dreaming of an affordable Christmas, just like the Orange Man used to know… Unfortunately, ever since Joe Biden moved into the White House with his son the prime Naughty List suspect, inflation has been making the holidays harder for American families. At Halloween, candy prices were up 13% thanks to Biden inflation. At Thanksgiving, inflation on many dinner staples including bread, cookies, and uncooked poultry were much higher than the alleged average inflation rate. Now it’s Christmas trees.

We bought our artificial prelighted tree back in 2016 on Black Friday special for $69. It is 7.5' tall, has 7 light settings in both colored and white lights and holds all of my blown glass ornaments. I grew up with a real tree every Christmas but it just got to be too much work once my parents and I got older. Now the price of trees is out of control. Thanks a lot, Dementia Joe!!

Mrs C and I used to buy a tree from our local volunteer fire department every year. We loved real trees and everyone benefited. Then we got old. Now we have a fake one that is pretty pathetic but with the kids all grown decorating is no longer a family activity, its a chore. As long as their is a new gun under the tree, I'm happy.

I bought a clearance tree from my big box employer in 2012. It has been up since 2012. It's depressing to take down a Christmas tree. My tree is a palm tree with evergreen branches. Very tacky but I love it.

We stopped at Home Depot a couple weeks back and noticed their Live Trees were about $75 for a Seven Foot Tree! Yikes! When our kids were growing up we always cut down a Big Tree. It was a Sunday of finding the Perfect Tree, cutting it down, Hot Chocolate, putting up the Tree, decorating it followed by Sloppy Joe Sandwiches. We also managed to do some Ice Skating on the Pond across the road! Now we're old and we have a 4ft Fake tree! I love it!

A teacher fired over her concern for a student’s welfare is not going down without a fight. Bonnie Manchester, whom MassResistance reported is a Christian, was sacked from a middle school in Ludlow, Massachusetts, back in 2021 after informing a female student’s father that the school was secretly referring to his daughter as a boy. Two years on, Manchester is filing a $10 million lawsuit against Ludlow, its school board, current and former school district superintendents, and several former school employees. One of the defendants, the school’s former librarian, is a woman who identifies as a man. She allegedly pushed books on children containing sexually explicit content,

The Florida Surgeon General, Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo, is demanding answers from Dr. Robert M. Califf, the Commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), regarding the detection of host cell DNA fragments in mRNA COVID-19 vaccines developed by Pfizer and Moderna. The Florida Surgeon General sent a letter to FDA Commissioner Califf and CDC Director Mandy Cohen on December 6, pressing for greater transparency about the potential for DNA integration into the human genome—a concern that could have far-reaching implications. The Florida Public Health Integrity Committee discussed these issues on November 14, 2023, and Ladapo urged the FDA to consider their findings.

We’ll jump straight through to the all-important outcome – both the mom and her baby are expected to survive. It all went down Tuesday when a driver ran into Bridgette Ponson and her two children, ages two and three, in the parking lot of Layton Christian Academy in Layton, Utah. Although the three-year-old daughter was able to free herself, Ponson and her two-year-old son were left pinned.

Things are not going well for the Biden administration. Despite the marketing genius that is "Bidenomics," Americans continue to not buy what the president and his handlers are selling. Advertisement Still, they march valiantly forward, appearing on friendly news networks to tout their supposed economic successes, hoping for some messaging traction. Instead, even mainstream press members are growing weary. On Sunday, it was Biden budget director Shalanda Young's turn to try to convince people that water isn't wet.

That's a good thing, and one that the legacy media routinely overlooks -- or flat-out pretends doesn't happen.

Hunter Biden has been indicted again. This time in California for spending the money he owed on taxes on hookers and blow, living a life for at least four years that would’ve put Keith Richards into the ground. He’s a medical miracle, actually, in addition to probably being a felon. He’s also the greatest potential political weapon the Democrats have – one that could destroy the Republican Party. All they have to do to use it is one of the things they seem incapable of doing: prove their case. What kind of weapon could Hunter Biden be, aside from patient zero for a host of new social diseases?

No matter how they framed it, the American Civil Liberties Union will catch a lot of flak with the announcement of their new client: the National Rifle Association. It’s made me do a double-take. The ACLU has been one of the NRA’s chief rivals, but in this case—they’re allies. We have to go back to 2018, when then-superintendent Maria Vullo of New York’s Department of Financial Services sent a series of letters to various companies, warning them to consider “reputational risks” regarding doing business with the NRA in the wake of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas School in Parkland, Florida.

Last Sunday, I had one of those rare weeks with no ministry responsibilities, so I attended services at both of our church campuses. At our South Campus, which isn't my "home campus," I reunited with friends I hadn't seen in a long time and had the privilege of hearing some good friends lead worship. At both campuses, we started an Advent sermon series. The first week of Advent is about hope, and Gary, our South Campus pastor, preached about the concept of finding hope while you're waiting.

Adams noted in a Friday press conference that the city's residents are weary, angry, and "seeing the impact of the migrant and asylum seeker issue, how it is taking away from the resources that should go to the day‑to‑day services of running the city." He said that he "did not walk out from D.C. with any level of optimism that anything is going to drastically change."
