On the heels of Friday's May inflation report revealing that the consumer price index rose 8.6%, the highest monthly increase since December 1981, Atlantic magazine seemed to go into a state of mourning bordering on panic.Gone were the sort of heady days of last summer when administration hacks, quoted approvingly by much of the liberal media, would smugly declare that any increase in inflation was merely "transitory." Those times of self-reassurance have suddenly been replaced by utter despair which the title of Friday's Atlantic reveals, "How Did They Get Inflation So Wrong?"You can almost hear a very sad rendition of...

VIDEOWith surging inflation rising to the highest rates in 40 years, guess who is NOT taking responsibility for that?

Nina Burleigh of Business Insider who is best known to the world for having "Offered Oral Sex to Bill Clinton to Keep Abortion Legal" found a new mission in life. This time it was focused away from presidential candle sticks to presidential stickers. Specifically, the highly popular "I Did That!" Joe Biden stickers that have appeared pointing at rising prices of gasoline on station pumps during the past year.Those stickers have so irritated Burleigh that she went on a great meme hunt for the creator. Her Odyssey was described on Monday in "'I Did That!': Anti-Biden stickers are plastered on...

His tweet is timestamped at 8:45 p.m. ET, by which time it was the early morning of June 7 in Normandy, France. [cut] Last year, the Biden White House failed to issue any kind of statement on the anniversary.

VIDEOIt has been two weeks since I last checked out the baby section of Walmart here in Broward County, Florida and it is STILL completely devoid of liquid baby formula. In fact, not only is all the liquid formula still absent, it appears there is even FEWER powdered baby formula. Yeah, Team Biden declared over two weeks ago that they are on top of this and they seem to be as successful in this endeavor as they are in lowering gasoline and food prices.I will probably check the same shelves at this Walmart in a couple of weeks but don't...

VIDEOOn June 1, 2022 a virtual White House conference was convened in order to address the baby formula shortage crises. As you can see, a very low energy Joe Biden was struggling with ennui as Mr. Sandman kept beckoning him to nod off to sleep.

VIDEOSo Janet Yellen finally admits that she was WRONG about inflation being merely "transitory" because she didn't understand what was going to happen. The big question is WHY Janet Yellen remains as Secretary of the Treasury. After her humiliating admission, WHY hasn't she resigned? Sleepy Joe won't fire her because he never admits he was wrong since he too was hyping that inflation was merely "transitory."Anyone with even a brief familiarity with an Economics 101 textbook would immediately understand that when you vastly increase the money supply in order to pay for yuuuuuuuge multi-trillion dollar government programs, it would result...

Joe Biden and Democrats weren’t kidding about their pledge to transform public institutions into gender dysphoria contagion zones. K-12 schools must allow boys into girls’ private areas to obtain federal funds for lunches, breakfasts, and snacks, the Biden administration announced this month. A U.S. Department of Education spokesman told The Federalist the Biden administration’s press releases from several agencies announcing this policy will be followed by formal rulemaking in June. “It seems to be playing politics with feeding poor kids, which is really unfortunate,” John Elcesser, executive director of the Indiana Non-Public Education Association, said via phone amid weeks of...

VIDEOI was at my local Walmart in Broward County, FL when I remembered the words of Brian Craig, co-host of the Steve Kane radio show, when he said that a lot of people are now checking the baby formula shelves at stores even if they have no children. With that in mind I got curious when I saw the Baby section so I just had to check for myself. Result: NO liquid baby formula at all and a lot of the powder was gone too. It will be interesting to see how soon the liquid baby formula will be back...

WHEN 46 STARTS TO EQUAL 41 — It won’t be long before “George Herbert Walker Biden” creeps into the vernacular, given the parallels surfacing between the 41st president and the 46th. Like the first President Bush, President Joe Biden is viewed by much of Washington as fundamentally decent — good at democracy and foreign policy but bamboozled by an economy that, apart from inflation, he keeps suggesting is fine. People didn’t feel that way in 1992, and despite job growth and low unemployment, they certainly don’t now. The price for Bush was a second term. Looking back 20 years, Time...

President Biden ripped Donald Trump by calling him "The Great MAGA King," but the right wing instead embraced the term, while some midterm Democratic candidates hedged on whether they want Biden's support, the panel on "The Five" discussed Thursday. At a reported $30,000-per-head fundraiser for Democrats, Biden bragged about reportedly decreasing the federal deficit by a record amount, criticizing Trump for instead ballooning it: "Under my predecessor, the great MAGA king, the deficit increased every single year he was president," Biden said, only days after he branded his opposition "ultra-MAGA." In response, Trump co-opted the nickname, posting a meme to...

Ukraine needs heavy weapons and air support. Tanks, multiple-launch rockets, self-propelled artillery, air support — MiGs and Sukhoi aircraft — and mobile air defense. They need hundreds of thousands of 152mm artillery rounds. The US-supplied Javelins and Stingers are necessary but no longer sufficient. Why? Because there is a window of opportunity now — for a week or two perhaps — in which Ukraine can counterattack in the north, south and east to expel Russian forces. This will require mobile armored forces and air power. And if this window is lost, the future is darker and more uncertain. [cut] NO...

A CIA officer has confessed that the ‘Deep State’ rigged the 2020 election in Joe Biden’s favor, and has boldly admitted that the agency would do it again. Former CIA officer John Sipher claimed in a stunning Twitter thread that he took “particular joy” in discrediting the Hunter Biden “laptop from hell” narrative and enthusiastically admitted to “shifting” the election away from Trump. Sipher was among the many “intelligence experts” who falsely claimed the Hunter Biden laptop story from the New York Post back in October of 2020 was part of a “Russian disinformation campaign.” Redvoicemedia.com reports: A March 18th...

Thursday marks the 23rd anniversary of the start of the 1999 NATO bombardment of Yugoslavia. In 78 days, NATO jets conducted 2,300 sorties, dropping 420,000 missiles and bombs, including cluster munitions and depleted uranium rounds. Up to 5,700 people were killed, with tens of thousands more diagnosed with cancers in the years that followed. Before entering the Oval Office as Barack Obama’s vice president and then as president himself, Joe Biden served as a United States senator for over 30 years. Ahead of, during and after the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999, Biden was consistently one of the top...

VIDEOYup! He sure did. So give him credit where credit is due. But, hey, the upside is no more mean tweets.

Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin opted to sit with Republican members during Tuesday's State of the Union rather than his Democratic colleagues. The West Virginia senator instead sat between GOP Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker and Utah Republican Sen. Mitt Romney, directly behind Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst. As Biden gave his address, Manchin remained seated and refrained from clapping as others applauded the president for lauding items within his Build Back Better bill, including the expanded Child Tax Credit that expired in December, which Manchin opposed. During parts of the address, Manchin was spotted leaning over to speak to Romney on several...

VIDEOHe can do it! Just put one foot in front of the other. Be careful. Don't stumble. Concentrate! Concentrate! YES! HE DID IT! And nothing projects bold confident leadership like wearing a mask outdoors when nobody is anywhere near you.

Despite the Russian invasion of Ukraine continuing to escalate, President Joe Biden remains at his private estate in Delaware. Fox News reported that Biden remains at his private residence in Delaware and that the media is having difficulty making contact with the administration.

Political writer Peter Schweizer’s latest book reportedly accuses 20 current and former GOP members of having essentially sold out to China. Released late last month, “Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win” has attracted attention thus far mainly for its bombshells about President Joe Biden and his extremely wealthy family. But also contained within the book is a treasure trove of bombshells about elected Republicans, ranging from current Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell to former President George H.W. Bush. Regarding McConnell, Schweizer reportedly writes that the Senate leader and his wife both “enjoy some of the deepest and...
