Bidenflation hits home -- my home

Last week, it was reported that the average home price hit $375,300. That's a new record. This is another example of Bidenflation running rampant. Existing home prices are going up. New home prices are skyrocketing. Rent is going up, too.

Here in Minnesota, property taxes are due on May 15 and October 15 each year unless these dates land on a weekend. I went to the county website where I live to check on how much I owe this year. According to the online statement, my property's value increased 22% last year. I didn't change the house structurally or cosmetically. Despite that information, my property taxes increased by 29% from the previous year.

A loyal reader of this blog experienced a similar situation last year. This friend took his case to the St. Cloud City Council. The City Council insisted that my friend hadn't experienced a property tax increase despite the larger property tax payment. The Council's explanation was that they hadn't increased the mill rate. (Instead, they increased the property's estimated value.)

This is what Bidenflation is doing to families' quality of life. I already talked about record-high home prices. New and used car prices are going up, too. Gas prices have been going up for over a year. This is the definition of Bidenflation. Jen Psaki needs to get mercilessly ridiculed for talking about the Putin Price Hike. Check this out:

Bidenflation is the direct result of Joe Biden's policies, starting with Biden launching his war against fossil fuels. Once Biden messed up the energy policy, inflation was the inevitable result.

The other thing that's predictable is that pumping tons of Fed funny money into an already-recovering economy would create inflation throughout the economy. Sky-high demand, low interest rates and tons of loose money equals record home prices. In St. Cloud, that also includes sky-high property taxes. For people like me living on fixed incomes, property tax increases are the harshest tax.

Predictably, Joe Biden won't accept responsibility for Bidenflation. He's too pig-headed to admit he'd made a mistake to do that. Still, there's no disputing Biden's role in ruining Americans' quality of life.

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
