Medusa Touch! Natural Gas UP 192% Under Biden, Diesel UP 176%, Regular Gasoline UP 74%, Foodstuffs UP 59% (Thanks Biden And Federal Reserve!)
Confounded Interest ^ | 04/30/2022 | Anthony B. Sanders

We all know (except for Biden apparently) that inflation is up 8.5% YoY as measured by the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). However, the CPI change doesn’t fully capture what is crushing Americans’ pocketbooks. Here is a brief update on where we stand prior to the upcoming Federal Reserve Open Market Committee meeting on May 4th.

Since Biden was installed as President on January 20, 2021, prices for key commodities have soared. Natural gas futures UP 192%, Regular Gasoline prices UP 73.6%, Commodity Research Bureau Foodstuffs UP 59%, Low sulfur Diesel futures UP 176%.

Since we now have the Biden’s Orwellian Ministry of Truth (actually The Department of Homeland Security’s “Disinformation Board”) which will start censoring free speech. And this post is what could fall under their reign of terror. Or in Biden’s case, reign of error.

Jen Psaki, the President’s talking head, has said that it is Russia and Putin’s fault. So, here are the same prices up to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine since Biden was installed as President: Natural gas futures UP 82.3%, Regular Gasoline prices UP 80.2%, Commodity Research Bureau Foodstuffs UP 50.1%,Low sulfur Diesel futures UP 47.7%.

On a sad note, The Biden Administration is considering cancelling student loan debt as a was to control inflation (?). Of course, cancelling student debt will lead to a surge in consumer spending and even MORE soaring inflation. Biden is suffering from The Medusa Touch. Everything he touches turns to stone.

This is what both parties cheated Trump out to get.

The “migrants” are here to vote in November.

After the election they will pull the rug out from under them by turning off the EBT cards.

They will be roaming the countryside like the walking dead and when legacy US citizens defend themselves from them the United Nations will declare a humanitarian crisis because White Supremacists are slaughtering innocent “migrants.”

Then they’ll send in millions of People’s Liberation Army troops disguised as “UN peacekeepers” who will herd legacy US citizens into the death camps and the “replacement migration” will be complete.

I’m starting to think this is all intentional, not incompetence.

So is there any real hope that America can recover from this mess?

Stop blaming Biden.

The SOLE reason for the woke clown world we now live in is due to RINO traitors.

It was RINO-controlled state legislatures who refused to enforce voter ID, rolled over and allowed the cheat-by-mail-in ballots and drop boxes without any controls on chain-of-custody of ballots. They didn't blink an eye when the counting across multiple states stopped on Election Night. They allowed the "counting" to go on for nearly a week until Biden had enough to take the lead. You had video of suitcases stuffed full of ballots being taken out from their hiding place under tables and run through the machines after Republicans were forced to leave because of a "pipe leak" and NOT ONE PERSON has been charged.

Democrats could not have stolen anything if it had not been for RINO-controlled state legislatures handing it to them on a platter.

There are important primaries coming up soon in GA, PA, WI, AZ, and MI. We have got to stop blaming Biden and the Democrats and vote out the REAL traitors in the primaries, otherwise they will let the Dems steal it again in 2024 if the Republican candidate is MAGA.

When I see all these illegals flooding into the country I get mad. But there’s no reason why a new legitimate administration can’t deport them in the future. That’s all we can hope for now cause as you know both parties are gearing up for amnesty. I didn’t ask for this invasion and will never accept it.

Yes indeed, and what is the push back from ConservativeInc? We do memes, listen to Hannity and Fox news and post articles from Townhall. It's no wonder our enemies are doing what they want.

I pray to God that the push back against RINOs will be delivered by grass-root voters in the primaries. This is the first time these traitors have had to face the music for their part in the 2020 Steal.

Make no mistake -- the Democrats fear the republican primaries more than the Mid-Terms. The prospect of them losing their embedded spies has them terrified. If the RINOs in the state legislatures are ousted, Democrats won't be able to steal anything in 2024.

I agree, the only ‘jobs’ that the feds can create with our tax dollars that is worth anything is send the illegals back to Mexico where they came from in a timely manner - by the millions. They may be from other countries or continents but that is not relative and we should not pay for a plane fare to their home country.

And both the left and right are yelling about fentanyl being the #1 killer these day, where do these retards think these drugs got here from? Of course their favorite source, open borders.

And I stopped watching Fox on election night when they made the early call for AZ.

I have not watched it a single day since.

Not. One. Single. Day.

And I had been a loyal viewer since the 90s. I watched "Special Report" five nights a week.

While I have not missed Fox, I am still heartbroken over the loss of Rush Limbaugh. Lord, if we ever needed Rush on the airwaves, it's now.

The RNC should be running commercials 24/7 talking about these issues and proposing solutions to fix it all.

The gas station attendants where I live are working non-stop to remove them. They are everywhere.

I loved Rush too. He was brilliant, funny and a true American patriot. His evolution from a Bush Republican to a Trumper was something that keept our voting bloc together. I blame the recent rise of the Neocons in part to his absence.

I hope you're right about the primaries. A smashing victory will shake off some of my cynicism.

This is all intentional. The biden admin is full of obama holdovers. Every thing obama did to this country was detrimental. Trump came along and undid a lot of obama’s intentional destruction. That really pissed off obama, so the dims stole the election, put an alzheimers addled goofball in the white house and went right back to their work of the devil.

Thanks rino’s.

The inflation, gas prices, etc., are a distraction. The real damage is the illegal immigration, citizen surveillance and stuff behind the scenes.
