Gas Prices Soar to Fresh Highs;
Biden Blames Republicans For Inflation
Update: Biden Would Rather Talk About Inflation Than Abortion

Wait, I thought it was Putin's Inflation? Now inflation is the fault of the Ultra-MAGA crowd?

I'll let CNN do the honors reporting Biden's record gas prices.

In another blow to the US economy, prices at the pump soared to fresh record highs.

The national average price for regular gasoline climbed more than four cents on Tuesday to $4.37 a gallon, according to AAA. That takes out the prior record of $4.33 set on March 11.

The gas spike -- prices are up 17 cents in the past week alone -- will only add to inflationary pressures that have raised recession fears, rocked financial markets and soured Americans' views on the economy.

The national average dipped to as low as $4.07 a gallon in April after the record-setting release of oil from emergency reserves and as oil prices cooled off. But as industry analysts predicted at the time, that relief proved to be short-lived and minor.

Biden says that Republicans are to blame for not letting him spend more money, which, he claims, would somehow reduce the problem of having excess dollars in the economy chasing a static amount of goods and services.


"They're frustrated," Biden said of Americans paying more for goods and services across the board. "I don't blame them."

With a spike in inflation having pushed annual consumer prices more than 8% higher, the president highlighted his release of oil from strategic petroleum reserves and pressure on companies to return record-high profits to consumers in the form of lower prices.

"I know that families all across America are hurting because of inflation," Biden said in a speech from the White House. "I want every American to know that I am taking inflation very seriously and it is my top domestic priority."

It's such a priority he keeps pushing for his Build Back Brandon bill and more trillion dollar "stimulus."


Biden said the COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with supply chain issues and Russia's war on Ukraine, are to blame for the inflation spike. His administration rushed trillions in COVID aid and infrastructure spending into the economy, which Republicans and some economists blame for higher costs.

"We're in power," said Biden, asked whether he deserves blame for high prices. "We control all three branches of government. Well, we don't really," he added, lamenting Democrats' ability to get other spending bills passed because of its narrow control of Congress.

If only we could have spent more dollars we just printed up out of nothing, he keeps saying, we'd beat this inflation.

That's not a joke. He really keeps claiming he can tamp down inflation by flooding the economy with more heavily-devalued freshly-printed paper.

Biden said the U.S. Federal Reserve should, and will do its job to control it.

They will, by raising interest rates, to reduce the monetary supply.

If you insist on injecting more devalued dollar bills into the economy, they'll have to hike the interest rates still further to undo the damage you're continuing to inflict on the country.

The U.S. central bank raised interest rates by half a percentage point last week and is expected to roll out additional hikes this year.


The president did not announce new policy measures in the speech, which took place a day before new consumer price data is expected to show inflation remained elevated through April.

But he did say he was considering eliminating Trump-era tariffs on China as a way to lower prices for goods in the United States. "No decision has been made on it," he said.

Biden sought to direct blame over inflation to Republicans, with six months before the Nov. 8 congressional elections that will determine whether Democrats can retain control of the Senate and House of Representatives.

Biden repeatedly attacked Republicans loyal to former President Donald Trump for holding up his agenda, lamenting that Democrats' majority in Congress is not sufficient to gain approval of his priorities.


So, the Republicans don't have a plan to fix the inflation caused by the trillions this incompetent recklessly printed and dumped into the economy?

That's like a drunk driver who kills a family complaining that the DA who brings charges against doesn't have a plan to resurrect his victims.

We're now in a five year cycle of despair and misery, "President" Biden, thanks to you. The way to fix inflation is through a long period of high interest rates and low economic growth -- intermittent recessions and low growth.

All thanks to you.

There is no other way to magically get trillions of fake dollars out of the economy, Fake President Biden.

By the way, when I started writing this post, I hadn't read all of his remarks about inflation yet. I wrote the headline claiming he "blamed Republicans" for inflation based on the tenor of remarks I saw, and based on his history of being an inveterate liar.

But I didn't actually see a quote about him blaming Republicans. I was just guessing.

And then, of course, it turned out I was 100% right.

Thanks, NeverTrump!

Say, when do those Norms start getting Restored, I wonder?

Update: Biden used to claim to be pro-life.

He is now so pro-abortion he favors abortion without limits of any kind, including partial birth abortion, including killing babies born during failed abortions.

He doesn't want to admit that, but he can't, of course, be anything less than a pure red-in-tooth-and-scalpel babyhunter for his base.

So when he was asked if he supports any limits on abortion, he said he'd rather... talk about inflation.

Imagine being so extreme on abortion that you'd rather talk about *inflation* right now

Biden declines to answer a question about whether he supports any restrictions on abortion, saying he wants to keep the focus on the inflation speech he just gave.

"I want the story to be about inflation."

His position on abortion is so toxic he reckons that inflation is actually a more favorable story for him!

57 ace it's not a quibble and not academic to add that the reckless fiscal and monetary policy that has led to this is the doing of several hands, not just Biden and his team of idiots.

Of course their economic policies are disastrous and indefensible. They've been the same for decades, only getting worse, actually, with the addition of the science-free externality stranglehold on all of life they're pushing with "climate" nonsense.

But the monetary insanity goes back (talking about current inflation situation) to the idiotic Fed policy of ZIRP, and the whole reaction to the 2008 "crisis", which was wrong and harmful in every single respect.

And the current inflation is directly linked to the reckless fiscal policy of Trump during the "pandemic", which of course was entirely triggered by the catastrophic and useless "shutdown".

Like acute short term shortages during the height of covid? Sure. I get it, a bunch of meat processing plants shut down for a few weeks due to high prevalence of covid on the slaughter floor.

155 Unfortunately we cannot actually lay all the blame at Biden's feet. Trump signed four gargantuan spending bills one after another in the name of budget, and signed on to the first "Stimulus" payment to people.

Yes, he actually did materially cut spending and reduce the size of government by a small amount, but he also signed on to enormous increases in spending.

Like Reagan, when he got into office, he found that congress only has one way on the ratchet, and will not change. Bizarrely, the only president in my lifetime to sign a balanced budget, a budget with real cuts was.... Bill Clinton

Humane? As long as you're not playing Yoko Ono's greatest hits, you're humane enough.

A couple tips: 1) wear gloves, so you don't get your scent on the trap. 2) put a small smear of peanut butter near the end of the trap where you want the rat to enter. 3) Forget the humane part, and get a snap trap that kills the rat deader than dog food, quickly.

254 Rapid increases in productivity soak up a lot of the extra dollars. It happened in the 80s under Reagan when we still had high govt spending. In the 90s, we kept a good handle on spending and also had great productivity gains. As a result, inflation went even lower.

Productivity gains like that only happen with large private investments. That means we need a stable currency, to keep investments away from homes, and stable, low taxes and reduced govt spending is a requirement.

Unexpectedly, rats have gathered in the house, and finding no food there are spreading out into other houses, such as ours. We had swarms of them, and our cat saw the as not food but potential buddies to play with so was worthless at catching any.

My brother got these electric traps that fry the rats when they climb inside, zaps them dead as a doornail. They work really well, and the flashing green light indicating another dead rat is very cheery to come down to in the morning. We've pretty well de-ratted the place as a result but of course... more keep coming.

My man.

I've whacked just over three dozen rats here. They're tree/roof rats (different from Norway rats) that live in coastal California. They love oranges, avocados, and snails (very healthy), and live in palm trees. So this is paradise for them too. Neighbor on one side has avocado trees, neighbor on the other has orange trees.

Oddly, I haven't any signs of rats in six months at least. Apparently the word is out that ours is the yard of death.

Allow me to explain: having a majority in both houses means you kill 75% of bills in Senate committee, and most of the remainder on the floor, including all of your own President's agenda items. You also use every parliamentary trick at hand to prevent his appointments from getting through, and block him from recess appointments. You intentionally spike your majority so you can collect bribes and do nothing, the way G-d intended.

This is how majorities work.

Having perforce become knowledgeable about rats, there are two broad groups: arboreal and terrestrial. The latter (Norway rats) are the particular nasty ones everyone thinks of. The arboreal rats (called tree or roof rats) live in warm coastal areas, and that's what SFGoth is probably dealing with. Both can carry hantavirus, which is no joke, so the rats gotta go.

Unexpectedly, rats have gathered in the house, and finding no food there are spreading out into other houses, such as ours. We had swarms of them, and our cat saw the as not food but potential buddies to play with so was worthless at catching any.

My brother got these electric traps that fry the rats when they climb inside, zaps them dead as a doornail.

432 Convicted transgender child sex molester James “Hannah” Tubbs, who was given a light juvenile sentence by George Soros-backed Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón, has been booked for murder in Kern County to the north.

Tubbs pleaded guilty to choking and sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl in a bathroom stall in 2014, a crime that shocked Los Angeles at the time. Gascón declined to prosecute Tubbs as an adult because the crime took place just before Tubbs’s 18th birthday. The juvenile sentence meant Tubbs would not have to register as a sex offender. One of Gascón’s criminal justice “reforms” was to stop prosecuting juvenile offenders as adults — a policy he revised somewhat after the Tubbs case.

437 I have an example of voter suppression. This last weekend we had school board elections and municipal elections. The county ran the municipal elections, but the school district ran the school board election in separate places from the municipal elections and didn't publicize it. The schools had early voting in the schools and the administration building, and you better believe every employee of the school district voted. The result was that taxpayers would only know about the school board election, and the need to go to a different place to vote for it, if they were told by a non-preferred candidate.

At least in my state, I'm fairly certain debt before the marriage is not community debt. It's hers alone. Where you could get screwed is if he co signed some sort of refinancing after getting married.

Policies created for the express purpose of preventing your opponents legitimate voters from voting.

"Legitimate voters" are defined by Republicans (in this argument) as those permitted to vote under state election law.

Democrats define "legitimate voters" as all adults over the age of 16, regardless of citizenship and regardless of where the prospective voter is legally registered to vote and regardless of whether or not the person already voted or is able to understand their vote.

"She'll make way more than he does." Likely, she consumes every PENNY. And she will consume all of his and then some. Biggest question is - what is her credit score/history? Paying your student loans isn't hard. If you aren't doing that its because of issues.

I ran like the wind. A buddy came over and said, "That chick is hot for you, man!" I replied, yeah, I gathered that, but I can't be doing with anyone that cold and bereft of character. The gal was baffled when I left.

You can always walk away from it, just as people by the thousands (maybe millions) did in the last three or four real estate crashes.

Can't do that with student loans, though.

557 Remember, this isn't me that's marrying her. I'm on the same page as most people here.

She basically stopped paying because of Trump "pausing" student loans.

I got to be honest, if I was her, I would "work the system" also. It's almost like exploiting a tax loophole. Would you pay an extra $300k+ to Uncle Sam if you didn't have to?

It is disgusting that there's even a possibility these things are forgiven for someone like her.

Still married, but if something happened, can't see myself doing it again. Our culture has shifted so much that I just don't think it works like it used to.

I'd maybe have a religious ceremony and just live together in the eyes of the law if I wanted something long term. The piece of paper that also calls gay lovers "married" is meaningless to me and just puts you in divorce court when things go south.

As she makes [insert ridiculous integer value here] x what I make, and does all the cooking, having her functional is more important than having her managing the risk event horizon.

581 Top U.S. intelligence officials were questioned Tuesday about why they misjudged the durability of governments in both Afghanistan and Ukraine, and whether they need to reform how intelligence agencies assess a foreign military’s will to fight. U.S. intelligence believed the U.S.-backed Kabul government would hold out for months against the Taliban and thought Russian forces would overrun Ukraine in a few weeks. Both assessments were wrong.
