Certainly not a problem / concern for the "Big Guy". I doubt that his 10% flow from China and Ukraine has decreased much at all. But we will still send hundreds of billions of dollars to his friends in Ukraine, and the China virus gave the democrats the cover they needed to stuff those ballot drop boxes.

You wish. Obviously you haven't been struggling to put food on the table or make any purchase. Unrestrained printing of money and closing down our natural energy production is YOUR fault. And, yes, I am a MAGA supporter. So what are you going to do about this mess you have made? Time to take ownership. FJB.

Press Secretary Jen Psaki claimed "nobody" could have predicted current, record inflation. Perhaps I am clairvoyant .3 28 2021 Editor: Never thought I would live to see the day that an ignorant apathetic American population would willingly, adopt and elect, a government dedicated to the following proposition. We the People of the United States, in Order to destroy a perfect Union, forego Justice, accept domestic violence, defund the common defense, promote the general Welfare State and secure perpetual debt to ourselves and our Posterity, do relinquish and destroy the Constitution for the United States of America. We are now ruled, as opposed to governed, by a senile President and a radical Socialist Congress that has ignored the Constitution and rules by Executive order. The time has come to defund the government. Those of us paying the bills must stand up and take back our country, if it is not already too late. “The best way to destroy the capitalist system is to debauch the currency,” Vladimir Lenin, leader of the 1917 Russian Revolution Today the presses are running 24/7 in order to fund the Government, the money supply has increased by 25% since the first of January, and the dollar, backed by nothing, is falling in value. Can hyperinflation be far behind?

In the past year food has increased 15% - 20% alone. Virtually all other goods and services are up at least 10% not to mention gas. I suspect a typical couple is spending the equivalent of a extra car payment every month. This wealth is gone, vanished. Gas and home prices may go down, but nothing else will. These are permanent. As the years go by, this will amount to an enormous sum of wealth. The more money the government artificially circulates will continue the cycle. Inflate wages, inflate prices, bailout, handout, investment loses, repeat, forcing ordinary working people into third world status. The current crisis has laid bare how disastrous our government economic policy has been over the last 50 years. The wealthiest Democratic country in the world destroyed its economy faster than the emperors of Ancient Rome.

Inflation is at records levels, and Congress just decided to borrow 40 billion more they state is for Ukraine, but who knows where it will end up. Probably to pay for more protests during the summer and fall.

Ohhh how unexpectedly unexpected. Of course, these numbers are fake and do not include all possible data. Nothing here to worry about. It's all Putin's fault, and Uncle Pedo Joe has this all under control. Rest assured he will make sure that oil companies will be investigated for price gouging as well as all major grocery stores who are engaging in price-fixing and price gouging.

MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell wondered on her Thursday show that if the Supreme Court cares so little about precedent in Roe v. Wade, will it also overturn Brown v Board of Education. Because her guest was former Attorney General Eric Holder, nobody pointed out that Brown is the case conservatives cite to justify overturning longstanding precedents.Mitchell began by asking Holder about the leak of the draft opinion, “How unprecedented, first of all, is the leak? And the way they came down in terms of breaking president, precedent, ignoring stare decisis and deciding to completely overrule Roe v. Wade after 49 years.”

Former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman's inquiry into the 2020 presidential election has reportedly been halted amid several lawsuits over his investigation.While his investigation into the election is paused, Gableman's $11,000 monthly salary will be halved to $5,500, and he will receive a $2,500 monthly stipend to pay for rent, General Assembly Speaker Robin Vos announced Wednesday, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "Until we win those lawsuits, you know, we are pausing the investigation because it's not like we're going to keep looking into things we've already discovered," Vos, a Republican, said.

'We're still finalizing details of the schedule for the trip and what it looks like obviously that is a step that is taken by many who visit the region,' Psaki said when asked if Biden would visit the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). She added that U.S. intelligence officials believe that North Korea could be ready to begin a seventh nuclear test as early as this month.

Let it be known that the politicians of the Democrat Party in Washington are either evil or cowardly with the exception of one. Reports say that Democrats had brought Roe v Wade to the floor in order to codify it into law. The goal was to legalize abortion nationwide up until birth with what would be no limits. As you can imagine, every single Republican voted against this and they were joined by none other than West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin who had indicated that he’d vote against it earlier in the day. This resulted in Democrats being 11 votes shy of what they needed to pass Roe into law.

Months after distressed moms have been vocally upset and concerned about the baby formula shortage, the media is finally starting to ask, how could this happen? The short answer is lockdown supply chains and the shutdown of one of the country’s largest formula plants in Michigan (Snip) Freeman said her clients and industry contacts began noticing an FDA crackdown on European formulas in the last few years, before the lockdowns, but an even greater spike since last August, well before the Abbott recall and plant shutdown that many are pointing to as the source of the shortage.(Snip)In some ways, the FDA seems more concerned about labeling than the nutrients themselves.

This is the gargantuan black hole that lives at the centre of our galaxy, pictured for the very first time. Known as Sagittarius A*, the object is a staggering four million times the mass of our Sun. What you see is a central dark region where the hole resides, circled by the light coming from super-heated gas accelerated by immense gravitational forces. For scale, the ring is roughly the size of Mercury's orbit around our star. That's about 60 million km, or 40 million miles, across. Fortunately, this monster is a long, long way away - some 26,000 light-years in the distance - so there's no possibility of us ever coming to any danger.

California Gov.

The announcement brings Newsom’s proposed spending on out-of-state abortion tourism to $125 million, over and above what he proposed in January. The new spending comes ahead of an anticipated decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade, the controversial 1973 ruling that established a “right” to abortion.
