Bidenflation Is Still Exploding Food Prices
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 12/19/2024 12:06:32 AM
We’ve been told for four years that inflation will soon stabilize and disappear thanks to Joe Biden’s awesome stewardship of the economy, and yet… “Wholesale prices for chicken eggs soared by nearly 55% last month, and wholesale food prices rose by 3.1% (their highest monthly increase in two years),” reports far-left CNN. Ahh, and because a Democrat is in office, we are then immediately told… Economists say not to panic. The “egg-flation” and sudden price hikes in some major food categories are reflections of isolated incidents rather than something systemic and indicative of a reacceleration of inflation. Economists always tell us not to worry when a Democrat is president.

On Second Thought: Newsom to Repeal Call

for Constitutional Convention After Trump Victory 5 replies
California and Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) are planning to repeal the 2023 call for a national constitutional convention, given Donald Trump’s recent victory and the possibility of Republicans proposing their own new amendments.
As Breitbart News reported last June, Newsom called for a constitutional convention to propose amendments to limit the Second Amendment, such as setting a minimum age of 21 for gun possession, and universal background checks.
But there were political obstacles, as Breitbart News noted:
[S]ince a two-thirds vote of Congress is generally required to launch the process of amending the Constitution, it is unclear how Newsom intends to begin if, as he says, Congress is responsible for inaction.
President Joe Biden appears to be struggling with the prospect of retiring from public life, according to a New York Times report published Tuesday.
After Democrats ousted him as their presidential candidate in July, Biden, 82, who has been a public official since 1973 (51 years), is not enjoying the prospects of sunsetting his over half a century long career at the center of American politics, the NYT’s Peter Baker and Zolan Kanno-Youngs reported.
Biden reportedly told allies after he dropped out of the race that he was bored, moody, and angry. He’s apparently angry because many Democrats opposed his pardon of his son.
Hill Leaders Slipped Scheme into Spending

Bill to Block, Stymie Investigations into Congress 11 replies
Congressional leadership slipped a provision into the stopgap spending bill that would bar or stymie investigations into Congress.
Tucked within the stopgap spending bill is a provision that has enflamed controversy amongst many conservatives on and off Capitol Hill.
The provision, titled “Treatment of electronic services provided for House offices,” sounds vague but could could stop or limit investigations into Congress.
Part of the section states:
Upon a motion made promptly by a House office or provider for a House office, a court of competent jurisdiction shall quash or modify any legal process
An illegal alien is on the run in Florida after having been accused of filming himself raping a child in Martin County.
Jesus Tamanis-Peralta, a 37-year-old illegal alien from Mexico, is wanted by the Martin County Sheriff’s Office on charges of sexual battery of a child. He has an active warrant for his arrest.
According to police, Tamanis-Peralta fled Martin County when he discovered he was wanted by the sheriff’s office and is currently running from town to town. Tamanis-Peralta was last seen on December 12.
The allegations against Tamanis-Peralta are gruesome. According to police, he raped an 8-year-old, filmed the abuse, and recently started distributing the footage.
The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points or 0.25% – on Wednesday as the Down tanked by more than 1,100 points.
The latest rate cut comes after the Fed slashed rates 25 basis points in November and 50 basis points in September.
The benchmark rate is now between 4.25% to 4.50%
CNBC reported:
The Federal Reserve on Wednesday lowered its key interest rate by a quarter percentage point, the third consecutive reduction and one that came with a cautionary tone about additional cuts in coming years.
In a move widely anticipated by markets, the Federal Open Market Committee cut its overnight borrowing rate to a target range of 4.25%-4.5%,
George Stephanopoulos may be OUT at ABC News after CEO Bob Iger decided to pay out a $15 million defamation settlement, plus $1 million to cover Trump’s attorneys fees.
Trump’s defamation case against ABC News was related to statements made by “This Week” host George Stephanopoulos.
Trump sued ABC News earlier this year after Stephanopoulos claimed Trump was “found liable for rape” by a Manhattan jury in the E. Jean Carroll case.
In 2019, E. Jean Carroll alleged Donald Trump raped her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the 1990s.
Trump has denied the allegations and called E. Jean Carroll a “whack job”

Promises ‘Trench Warfare’ Against
Trump’s Agenda 14 replies
The incoming House Oversight Committee Democrat Ranking Member has promised to carry out “trench warfare” against Donald Trump’s political agenda.
Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA), who narrowly defeated Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) to serve as the head Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, said in a statement that he would go all out to try and quash Republican reforms.
“We know what the Republican playbook will be,” Connolly wrote in a statement following his victory. “We’ve seen it before. They have demonstrated that they are willing to traffic in debunked conspiracy theories and enable the worst abuses of the Trump administration.”
“This will be trench warfare.

Joe Biden, and It Gets More Shameless

I know the saying is "better late than never." Still, I'm not so sure that should apply to Democrats who are finally admitting the obvious about Joe Biden: He clearly could not have served another four years as President of the United States.
You see, the thing is when you wait until not only after he dropped out of the presidential race, but after the election is over as well, the timing of that admission seems just a little bit suspect. [Tweet]
TO STATE THE OBVIOUS — From Peter Baker and Zolan Kanno-Youngs’ NYT assessment of President JOE BIDEN’s final chapter: “Time is catching up with Mr. Biden.

Trump Assassin - but Why Are the Feds
Stonewalling Them? 6 replies
Since his thwarted assassination attempt against President-elect Donald Trump on September 15, in West Palm Beach, Florida, Ryan Routh has been held in federal custody, where he faces charges of attempted assassination and assaulting a federal officer in addition to firearms charges. His trial is currently set to begin in February, though Routh has requested a continuance of the matter, and we await Judge Aileen Cannon's ruling on that request.
That the matter — involving the attempted assassination of a former and future president — is being handled via the federal system makes sense. However, it does not remain solely within the feds' purview.
The drones above American airspace that’s set social media ablaze continue, but it’s not a conservative media fascination. We have Democrats now witnessing this phenomenon. Sen. Andy Kim (D-NJ) caught some spooky images. Journalist Michael Shellenberger obtained an audio recording of a Biden White House conference call with mayors, who were infuriated at the administration’s lackadaisical response. It’s disinterested, to say the least, with one mayor claiming a drone the size of a car hovered over their house. Now, we might have Chinese spy drones humming overhead
Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) said he was "proud" to block a proposal from Democrats to protect federal workers from potentially getting reclassified as political appointees under the incoming administration.
The measure was introduced by Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) as a way to prevent such reclassification without congressional approval. He asked for unanimous consent to pass the Saving the Civil Service Act, warning about “attempts in recent years to erode the independence of the federal civil service,” a reference to efforts President-elect Trump made in his first term.

America’s greatest presidents were sometimes treated like punching bags in office — insulted and vilified by opponents. President Biden has endured the same undeserved treatment. But I expect that, like other great presidents, history will judge him more accurately.
Biden has been a historically transformative president. His landmark domestic accomplishments are comparable to Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal and Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society.
A 2023 survey of 154 political scientists and other presidential experts ranked Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt and George Washington as America’s three greatest presidents, in that order. Biden ranked No. 14. Donald Trump, who will become president again
The White House tried to hide from the public Joe Biden's rapidly diminishing mental condition for his entire presidency, according to a bombshell report.
Biden's team hired a vocal coach, put other officials into roles usually occupied by the president, scrapped meetings on his 'bad days,' and avoided calls with other politicians, according to an explosive report in The Wall Street Journal.
It exposed an extensive, deliberate and years-long cover-up that also saw the administration gaslighting those who dared to claim Biden's abilities had deteriorated since he was Barack Obama's vice president.
The NYPD’s highest-paid employee — who shoveled in more than $400,000 last year — filed for retirement this week and then was suspended amid an internal affairs probe into her astronomical overtime, The Post has learned.
Lt. Quathisha Epps will retire just shy of 20 years with the department, sources said — an early exit that will impact her pension and cost her a $12,000-a-year supplement for cops who reach the two-decade mark.
Leaving money on the table is seemingly uncharacteristic for Epps, who raised eyebrows by pulling in roughly $204,000 in overtime last year for her administrative job in NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey’s office, payroll records show.
Former CNN political analyst Chris Cillizza expressed remorse Thursday for not investigating concerns about President Joe Biden’s mental and physical health sooner.
Corporate media spent years downplaying voters’ and Republicans’ concerns about Biden’s mental acuity before his June debate against then-former President Donald Trump. Cillizza, on his YouTube channel, acknowledged he was wrong to overlook those concerns during his tenure at CNN. “As a reporter, I have a confession to make: I should have pushed harder earlier for more information about Joe Biden’s mental and physical well-being and any signs of decline. So let me explain.
In a recent House vote, 38 Republican lawmakers opposed a continuing resolution endorsed by President-elect Donald Trump, aimed at preventing a government shutdown and advancing the ‘America First’ agenda.
Earlier on Thursday, President Trump described the new government funding bill as “VITAL to the America First Agenda” and called on all Republicans to vote in favor.
Trump wrote:
SUCCESS in Washington!
Speaker Mike Johnson and the House have come to a very good Deal for the American People. The newly agreed to American Relief Act of 2024 will keep the Government open, fund our Great Farmers and others,
MSNBC’s Joy Reid and Stephanie Ruhle will reportedly need to take a pay cut if they want to remain in their anchor chairs as the struggling cable network continues to cut costs.
The left-leaning news channel — which recently gave star anchor Rachel Maddow a $5 million-a-year haircut from her annual $30 million haul — has been negotiating with Reid and Ruhle on new deals at reduced salaries, according to the Ankler newsletter.
The controversial Reid is believed to be earning $3 million a year to host her nightly 8 p.m. show, “The ReidOut,” according to the Washington Free Beacon.

For 4 Years, America Had No President

The Wall Street Journal has an article delving into the efforts to cover up Biden’s mental state. But the article raises as many questions as it answers. I won’t dwell on the umpteenth revelations that Biden had bad days, that he had trouble remembering lines or figuring out where he was supposed to go.
While preparing last year for his interview with Robert K. Hur, the special counsel who investigated Biden’s handling of classified documents, the president couldn’t recall lines that his team discussed with him. At events, aides often repeated instructions to him, such as where to enter or exit a stage, that would be obvious to the average person…
The knives have come out — and so has the truth.
Having been lied to for years by the Democratic Party machine and most of the legacy media — who insisted Joe Biden was not diminished by his age but energized by it — well, it turns out we skeptics were right all along.
And what we're learning is terrifying. Infuriating. An unacceptable abuse of power, a usurpation of the presidency itself by a nameless, faceless cohort.Will we ever know who these conspirators are?
Two bombshell reports out this week, in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, depict a president thoroughly out to lunch for his entire term:
The loony liberals of ABC News’s The View were in a festive spirit Thursday morning as they kicked off their discussion with a baseless conspiracy theory that billionaire Elon Musk and Vice President J.D. Vance were plotting to have President-elect Trump assassinated and usurp control of the government by pushing him down a flight of stairs. There was an attempt to walk it back my blaming her cat for putting the idea in her head.
On the same day The Wall Street Journal published an article chronicling how President Biden’s advanced decline left his unelected advisors and staff running the government, moderator Whoopi Goldberg seemed intent to distract
A Tennessee college revealed that racist messages found written on campus were fabricated by a student in an apparent attempt to make Donald Trump supporters look bad.
Rhodes College confirmed to Fox News Digital that a student had admitted to leaving the messages strewn about campus that were found over Thanksgiving break and were being investigated as a hate crime. Instead, it turned out to be yet another race hoax.
"Thanks to the tireless efforts of our Campus Safety officers and the Memphis Police Department, the investigation into the hate crime that occurred recently on our campus has ended with the identification of the perpetrator and the conclusion this incident was fabricated.

The Vice President’s office said Harris would not travel to California on Thursday as planned and would instead remain in the capital. [Snip] The sudden jettisoning of Harris’ holiday prompted widespread speculation on social media that Biden could be in poor health. Her announcement came hours after a bombshell Wall Street Journal investigation exposed how frail the president has been throughout the last four years. [Snip] Harris staying in Washington is likely due to the uncertainty of whether the House of Representatives can pass a stopgap continuing resolution bill to fund the government.
Are leftists mentally ill?
18 replies
Do people on the radical left demonstrate a mental disorder? Most people on the right roll their eyes at the hysteria and fears of the left, but what’s to be done?
Given that there were major shifts on the left in the 2024 election, is it possible that somehow sanity is breaking through? With the ongoing polarization that has burdened this country, it’s worthwhile to examine the psychological framework of leftists; both how they see themselves and how they see others. The results may also indicate whether the changes in voting behavior might continue, or whether they were situational.
A phrase that’s been coined is “Left-Wing Authoritarianism” (LWA)
