When you hear ‘8 percent inflation’ bandied about but feel certain your costs are rising at a far higher rate, you’re not crazy... not just gas and groceries that are rising higher and faster than the nationally reported inflation numbers... February saw a 15 percent year-over-year increase in asking rent, and a 31 percent jump in the national homebuyers’ median monthly mortgage rate.. used vehicles .. 41.2 percent as reported in March.

Comments:

U.S. economy shrank at a rate of 1.4% in the first quarter of 2022,.. far below the 6.9% annual growth in the fourth quarter of 2021.. - Unexpectedly.

Someone who understands the nuances of Marxism needs to explain this. The obamanistas want this to happen, but what exactly is the end game?

Inflation is government policy. It's how illegitimate governments renege on their debt. It's how socialists destroy the hated middle class.

When gasoline in my town went from $2.35 per gallon to $4.85--in other words, more than double--I call that 100 percent inflation. Don't give me any of that 15 percent or 31 percent crap.

I went grocery shopping this afternoon at a local chain store that claims to be the "price leader." Hot dogs, $7 for six 'bun sized.' Eggs,$3.99 a dozen. Ketchup, formerly $1.25, now $2.25. Favorite beer, was $12.00 for six bottles, now $17.99. Margarine, 'only' $1.25 per container. You say, "...that seems reasonable." The 'container' is the same size as the box your wedding ring came in. I'd say Bidenflation is 30%, at least. Lets Go Brandon

My personal experience is the article is still underestimating inflation. Its at least 30%. If people were still buying the same amount of stuff the economy would have grown tremendously. I have scaled back to hedge inflation; many must also be scaling back buying too.

You have to sift through it, but the bread crumbs are almost always found in the comments. If you follow the trail you will find the truth. And how to protect you and your family. www.shadowstats.com shows what various economic indicators would be if their criteria were the same as in 1980 and 1990 (when the lying Pols began changing the definitions so they could justify creating more money). does the name Joseph Mugabe' ring a bell! So the actual real life inflation number is closer to 16% ... not the 8% the MSM entertainment info source would want you to believe. Most of the info is free, unless you really want the geek numbers then you'll need to subscribe. Dig around. I think that saying I had no idea is no longer a valid excuse.

Most presidents, once they leave office, fade off into oblivion and don’t feel the need to weigh in on every single facet of life. Oh there are some exceptions, such as when Bill Clinton drags is decrepit tired ass to a speech so shill for more money for his “foundation.” Such is not the case, however, for a narcissist like Barack Obama. In a perfect world, Obama would fade into irrelevance and just go away. Unfortunately, this self-aggrandizing egomaniac keeps showing up, like a hemorrhoid that won’t go away... it is obvious that it is Obama…not Biden…who is still running the show.

Colorado’s Secretary of State is connected to Soros and Hillary Clinton money so it’s no surprise she doesn’t want a legitimate audit performed in her state.. Jena Griswold released a statement that claimed she would not allow outside auditors to come into Colorado and perform an election audit of the 2020 results in Colorado... Colorado’s election process is totally corrupt. One very quick statistic tells us this. In the 2020 Election, there were half a million more votes for Joe Biden than there were for Obama, Hillary, and President Trump. Simply put, there is no way Biden had half a million more votes than Hillary. No way.

Dong Jingwei is, or was, a longtime official in China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS), also known as the Guoanbu. His publicly available background indicates that he was responsible for the Ministry’s counterintelligence efforts in China, i.e., spy-catching, since being promoted to vice minister in April 2018. If the stories are true, Dong would be the highest-level defector in the history of the People’s Republic of China.

Good grief, that’s almost $50 billion in aid, plus the billions in distributed weapons.

WASHINGTON — Citing growing worries about high gasoline prices, Democratic leaders announced an effort Thursday to give the Federal Trade Commission increased authority to crack down on companies that engage in price gouging. In doing so, they downplayed the possibility of other options such as a federal gas tax holiday or offering oil companies more government incentives to increase production. Instead, they said the FTC needs more tools, including stiffer fines and penalties and a team of dedicated experts to monitor markets and go after price gouging. With voters concerned about the growing toll of inflation, Democrats again signaled their intention

When Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas recently unveiled his “six pillar plan” for dealing with the crisis on our southern border, he certainly didn’t mention this truly awful idea. During his recent testimony before Congress, Mayorkas slipped in one option that Joe Biden is reportedly considering. In order to provide better care for the tens of thousands of illegal aliens streaming across the border, the White House is looking at the possibility of diverting funding from the Veterans Administration for that situation. Additionally, some of the doctors and nurses tasked with caring for our veterans could be reassigned to providing care for the illegals.

Joe Biden is in trouble. His Democrats are collapsing at the polls based on his disastrous first term and now midterms are around the corner. What's a failed president to do? Dole out the goodies, of course, some big ones in a desperate bid to win back younger leftist voters. According to CBS News: President Biden is looking at different options to forgive an unspecified but substantial amount of federal student loan debt — a move that would thrill some of his most loyal supporters and financially strapped students nationwide, but is a departure from campaign pledges to provide limited relief. The president shared his plans during a 90-minute White House meeting Monday

McConnell’s approval rating, specifically, is in the toilet, with just 9.7% of Republicans having a “very favorable” opinion of him.

President Joe Biden on Thursday asked Congress for an additional $33 billion in military and humanitarian assistance for the Ukraine, which officials say could fund the war there for the next five months. He said the previous money allocated for the Ukrainians has been spent. 'Basically we're out of money,' he said in remarks at the White House. The money includes $20.4 billion in additional security and military assistance, $8.5 billion in economic assistance, and $3 billion in humanitarian assistance.(Snip)The $33 billion request is more than double the $13 billion that Biden asked for last month and lawmakers approved.

Instead, he reportedly broke out a gun and started shooting at him. Then he attacked with a club when he ran out of ammo. Certainly, it is against the rules to walk a dog on the golf course.

A Bronx man has been freed on a misdemeanor charge despite allegedly being filmed beating a 53 year-old man while wearing knuckle-dusters after his friend's poor driving saw them crash their Lexus into the victim's car. Miquiel Guerrero, 23, was arrested on March 30 after he and five others surrounded the unidentified victim, 53, and his car after they crashed into each other on Exterior Street in the Grand Concourse neighborhood. A man cops say is Guerrero was then filmed brutally-attacking his victim while wearing knuckle-dusters while his posse jumped on the man's car and stole it. The van driver made no attempt to fight back.
