Joe Biden, inflation & the midterms

Joe Biden had better buckle up for a disastrous midterm election cycle. Gallup's latest polling "shows that rising consumer prices are the top economic concern for Americans, with 17% of respondents calling the recent inflation spike the 'nation's most important problem.' That's up from 8% in January and 10% in February. In all, a majority of Americans, 59%, said they worry about cost-of-living expenses a 'great deal,' according to the poll, which was conducted March 1-18 with 1,017 adults. The margin of error is 4 percentage points."

Additionally, "Inflation doesn't dominate Americans' perceptions of the most important problem facing the country today the way it did in the early 1980s, but it's more top-of-mind than it's been in over three decades and appears to be taking a toll on Americans' broader economic confidence,' Gallup said in the survey." Simply put, people aren't giving Biden credit for decent job creation figures because families are getting hit hard with inflation. Families are getting his hard to fill up their cars. Then they're getting hit harder to heat their homes. Then they're getting hit hard to feed their families.

That's what happens when the Biden administration screwed up this nation's energy policies. That's what happens when the Fed keeps printing money to cover the Democrats' overspending. (I'm not saying that Republicans are blameless. I'm saying that Democrats are infinitely worse.) Democrats don't have a strong connection with integrity, either:

That's insulting. When Trump left office, he handed off a V-shaped recovery to Biden. Additionally, gas prices were low because we were energy independent. Third, inflation for 2020 was under 2%. Things went to hell in a handbasket because of Biden's policies.

Jen Psaki can spin this all she wants but it won't work. People are hurting as a result of this historic inflation. Whenever they pay their heating bill, they buy groceries or fill the car, they feel the pinch. It's impossible to spin hard realities. Finally, there's this:

The concern is more pronounced among lower-income families: 63% of families earning $40,000 or more said they were very concerned, compared with 58% of those earning $100,000 or more. There was also a political divide, with 79% of Republicans saying they were seriously worried about inflation, versus 35% of Democrats.
With inflation this high, why aren't Democrats more worried? Just 35% of Democrats are worried about inflation? What gives with that? Inflation should frighten Democrats ahead of this year's midterms.

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio
