Democrats this week touted their theme of “joy” at their convention, which took place in Chicago this week, but there is nothing joyful about Americans having to pay 14 percent more for airfare in the Biden-Harris America.

According to data from the Consumer Price Index (CPI), the cost of airfare has increased 14 percent since both President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris — the latter of whom has been coronated as the top of the ticket candidate, shirking the will of 14 million voters who cast their ballot for Biden — in January 2021.

In March 2022, one year into the Biden-Harris administration, Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian warned that airlines’ U.S. ticket prices could increase between five and 10 percent, coinciding with the price of oil climbing.

Coronated? We should probably come up with a word for that.

The Democrat response — It won’t kill you not to fly.

And Kamala Harris touted how she was going to save the Middle Class while the aim of Biden/Harris Presidential policy is to destroy the Middle Class as that is necessary along with disarming law abiding citizens to then complete their tototalitarian government takeover.

Very few people associate the word joy with air travel - especially after the TSA was created.

The whole Kamala brings joy meme is psychotic. Joy is gas lighting times a million. No one feels any joy. It will fade quickly as Trump strips the bark off of her. Joy will be replaced with screams of excruciating pain.

I haven’t flown since 2001. Won’t again. No place I want to go that takes more than a days drive. Just about everywhere sucks anymore.
