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.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

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

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
