White House press secretary Jen Psaki admitted Monday that fresh monthly inflation data will be “extraordinarily elevated” when it’s released Tuesday—after inflation hit a 40-year high of 7.9 percent last month. “We expect March CPI headline inflation to be extraordinarily elevated due to [Russian President Vladimir] Putin’s price hike, and we expect a large difference between core and headline inflation reflecting the global disruptions in energy and food markets,” Psaki said at her regular press briefing.
NPR reporter Asma Khalid pressed Psaki on the White House’s attempt to blame Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, saying she had just returned from a reporting trip to Michigan, where many people

How much longer before the lying redhead goes to MSNBC, where I'll never have to see or hear her again?

The Biden regime certainly washed its hands of ANY contribution to our worsening conditions. Nope, no problem, open up the Southern border and let in more impoverished, uneducated, low skill and very expensive, very needy, by the millions. What are our Republican leaders in congress WAITING FOR???? How bad does it have to get before they will move? Are they mentally hamstrung until midterms?

They can't blame Trump so they set up Putin to be blamed.

The Regime's designated liar called it "transitory." Yelly said that we would not have another financial crisis in our lifetime. Biden assured us that, once vaccinated, we would neither be infected by nor transmit the virus. Period.
Hunter Biden's Laptop from-hell was conveniently buried for election purposes by our Marxist media. And non-vaccine effective treatments for COVID were hidden intentionally likely leading to many unnecessary deaths.
HAD ENOUGH INTENTIONAL BS YET?
Gonna VOTE come November?

What does #3 expect the Republicans to do?!?!?
Seriously, they have no control in government right now. The Demon-Rats control both houses of Congress, so if the Republicans do try to do legislation, Pelosi and Schumer will make sure it never sees the light of day.
Elections have consequences, especially stolen ones!!!! We are living in that nightmare now, and our only hope is that we can foil more Demon-Rat election fraud in November and win large enough majorities in both houses of Congress to foil puppet president Senile Joe bidet and his unelected Communist puppet masters!!!!

Since it is a family site, I'll call our country MUBAR (messed up beyond all recognition) thanks to Biden, Harris, and their merry band of socialists, including the DNC and its propagandists the media. If there is justice in the universe, November will bring a political bloodbath (not a literal one). I hope the victors (the GOP) do not waste their opportunity to govern soberly and sensibly; I hope they have a backbone, not a jelly bone.

I too have seen enough of Little Red Lying Hood--
She is getting out at a good time-- lots of gloom and doom coming and she acts like Pollyanna and things couldn't be better!
Don't blame Covid, or race, or Putin-- blame the planners who have be wanting to unleash this upon us--
Been to the store lately? Things are not going up just 8%-- try 10-15 percent and more. This make the value and purchasing power of a dollar reduce YOUR INCOME.
Those who are on fixed incomes are going to be hit the hardest. Some salries have gone up, but are now retreating as the cost of everything gets more expensive for no apparent reason other than scarcity and the cost of getting things to market.
This is INTENTIONAL, as they are working the Cloward-Piven strategy to over run the ability of government to take care of its citizens. Lack of housing for the INVASION FORCES coming across the border is causing homes to become OVER VALUED which increases taxes to force people, especially "seasoned citizens" OUT OF THEIR HOMES due to over taxation for homes THEY OWN.

#6 Trump isn't POTUS now, and he's squelched on social media, but still, he IS going out, having rallies and shouting his support or opposition. I hear nary a peep from the largely dithering body for the Right. Their message is NOT being heard because they're not saying anything.

It's not hard to find a chart showing monthly inflation rates. It hovered around 2% during Trump's entire presidency. Within 6 weeks of Biden taking office in 2021 there was a noticeable increase in inflation. There has been a steady increase in the inflation rate almost every single month since then. On a chart it looks like a rocket taking off.

#3 they are not mentally handicapped they are majority handicapped. Every time they try and do anything Nancy "the crook" Pelosi shoots it down and it never makes it to the house floor. At least in the Senate they can filibuster which they've used to cancel "build it back at lot worse" bill.

Our garbage collector, Waste Management, just informed us that our fees will be going up 25 per cent. Gasoline in NW Pennsylvania is up about 25 per cent.
Food is up more than 25 per cent depending on what you are buying.
And my one luxury, 1/2 and 1/2, has doubled in price.

The Dems control the WH and both houses of Congress, yet it is always someone else's fault.

The official number has been announced. 6.5%
Of course, if they calculated it the same was as the previous month, it would have been 8.5%. Just sayin'.
