Manchin Mans Up and Tells The Democrats to Wake Up and Smell the Skyrocketing Cost of Coffee;
New York Times Claims That Republican Ads About Inflation Themselves... Cause Inflation

Via Ed Morrissey at Hot Air.

The New York Times is very, very sad that Manchin won't let the Democrats add another trillion to the Inflation Fire.

And they attack him as if he's a child molester.

No, worse than a child molester -- they attack him as if he's... a Republican.

WASHINGTON -- First, he killed a plan that would have forced power plants to clean up their climate-warming pollution. Then, he shattered an effort to help consumers pay for electric vehicles. And, finally, he said he could not support government incentives for solar and wind companies or any of the other provisions that the rest of his party and his president say are vital to ensure a livable planet.
Senator Joe Manchin III of West Virginia, who took more campaign cash from the oil and gas industry than any other senator, and who became a millionaire from his family coal business, independently blew up the Democratic Party's legislative plans to fight climate change. The swing Democratic vote in an evenly divided Senate, Mr. Manchin led his party through months of tortured negotiations that collapsed on Thursday night, a yearlong wild goose chase that produced nothing as the Earth warms to dangerous levels.
"It seems odd that Manchin would chose as his legacy to be the one man who single-handedly doomed humanity," said John Podesta, a former senior counselor to President Barack Obama and founder of the Center for American Progress, a left-leaning think tank.

He single-handedly doomed humanity.

Nice.

Privately, Senate Democratic staff members seethed and sobbed on Thursday night, after more than a year of working nights and weekends to scale back, water down, trim and tailor the climate legislation to Mr. Manchin's exact specifications, only to have it rejected inches from the finish line.

As my gym teacher Mr. Bevelacqua used to tell me: Your pathetic tears are just lubricant for my soulless erection.

...
"We are not going to meet our targets, period," said Leah Stokes, a professor of environmental policy at the University of Santa Barbara, California, who has advised congressional Democrats on climate legislation.
"I honestly don't know how he is going to look his own grandchildren in the eyes," she said of Mr. Manchin.
At the start of this week, Mr. Manchin said his top concern was the price at the pump and the need for more fossil fuels. "How do we bring down the price of gasoline?" he said. "From the energy thing, but you can't do it unless you produce more. If there's people that don't want to produce more fossil, then you got a problem. That's just reality. You got to do it."
On Wednesday, after data was released showing the nation's inflation rate at 9.1 percent, the highest in a year, Mr. Manchin said in a statement, "No matter what spending aspirations some in Congress may have, it is clear to anyone who visits a grocery store or a gas station that we cannot add any more fuel to this inflation fire."
...
For a year and half, climate activists have described themselves as Charlie Brown to Mr. Manchin's Lucy. Several times they neared what many Democrats believed could be a deal, only to see Mr. Manchin yank away his support at the final moment.
But perhaps they should have seen it coming.

My boner misses your tears like the desert misses the rain.

...
Over the past weeks, Democrats thought they were finally nearing an agreement on the climate package with Mr. Manchin. But he still had demands...
Mr. Schumer conceded to every request and more, staffers said. Up until Thursday evening, the majority leader thought a deal was possible, according to climate activists who spoke with Mr. Schumer later that night.
The White House made concessions to Mr. Manchin, as well.
This month, the Interior Department offered the possibility of 11 new offshore oil and gas lease sales in the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska -- despite Mr. Biden's campaign promise to end new drilling in federal waters -- which two administration officials described as an effort to appease Mr. Manchin. The White House also was weighing whether to allow a path for other fossil fuel projects, like a gas pipeline in West Virginia, in order to gain Mr. Manchin's vote.
The administration delayed federal rules to address methane, mercury and other pollutants from oil and gas facilities so as not to anger Mr. Manchin during delicate negotiations, according to several administration officials. That's two years lost time in a regulatory process that can be lengthy.
Activists said they felt suckered.
"He has pretended to be a fair arbiter," Jamal Raad, executive director of the climate advocacy group Evergreen Action, said of Mr. Manchin. "He talked about his grandchildren. It turns out that's all bullshit. He cares about profits for his coal company and his own political future over the future of our planet."

Cry more.

The sweet dew from your Face-Cloud makes the trouserwood thick and mighty.

The hyperemotive dullards at the New York Times decided to be "clever" and attempt some "Intellectual Judo" against Republicans.

They decided, "Hey, if Republicans are going to blame us for inflation, we'll just say that the very act of blaming us for inflation is what's causing inflation!"

Yeah, that's Super-Smart, Generation Participation Trophy.

"Seize." They said it. They said The Meme.

Prices are rising at the fastest rate in four decades, a painful development that has given Republicans a powerful talking point just months ahead of the midterm elections.

It's a "talking point."

With control of Congress very much in play, Republicans are investing heavily in a blitz of campaign advertisements that portray a dark sense of economic disarray as they seek to make inflation a political albatross for President Biden and Democrats.

We're just "portraying" this as economic disarray, and we're "seeking to make it a political albatross" for Biden and the Democrats who, you know, actually killed the albatross. (Literally reference redoubled!)

Now the Times concocts a convoluted scenario of Rube Goldbergian feedback loops in which it's Republican campaign commercials that panic workers into demanding higher wages which cause higher wages and provoke higher wages.

See, it's all the fault of Dirty Lying Republicans, not Joe Biden and the Democrats!

Some economists have expressed concern that the political debate could actually make it harder for the central bank to orchestrate a so-called soft landing -- in which it cools the economy without causing a recessi

"Some economists" -- ones that work for or shill for the Biden Administration, maybe? The same ones who Biden relied on to claim that inflation was transitory and that "no one is talking about" runaway inflation?

If inflation concerns become even more heightened and consumers begin expecting prices to keep rising, that could compel workers to ask their bosses for bigger raises in anticipation of goods and services becoming more costly. Those employers could then raise the costs of the goods and services they sell in order to cover their higher labor costs.
"The concern that I have is that you get inflationary expectations embedded in the economy and that leads to the wage-price spiral that we saw in the 70s," said Dean Baker, senior economist at the Center for Economic and Policy Research. "It becomes self-perpetuating."

Dean Baker? Keep that name in your active memory banks for the next thirty seconds.

The Center for Economic and Policy Research is -- get this -- a "progressive" think tank, and considered "left-leaning," which the Times forgot to tell us.

The Center for Economic and Policy Research also provides the leftwing media with optimistic stories about the Biden Administration.

For example, do you guys remember this story from yesterday, from Politico?

The "story" argued that declining wages were a good thing, because declining wages were a negative factor for inflation (that is, rising wages are inflationary), and so declining wages took pressure off the Fed to raise interest rates and possibly put the economy into recession.

Here was a quote from that "story:"

"If we have a wage-price spiral, the Fed really has to slam on the brakes," said Dean Baker, a senior economist at the progressive Center for Economic and Policy Research. "You can't have that if wage growth is slowing, and it clearly is."
"This takes an enormous amount of pressure off the Fed," Baker said.

Saaaayyyyy, is that the same Dean Baker of the Center for Economic and Policy Research who's claiming that lower wages are good for workers who's now claiming that the Republicans are causing inflation by noting that progressives like Dean Baker caused inflation?

Yep! It sure is!

Mr. Baker added that such a wage-price spiral is unlikely because wage growth has been slowing, but that it is possible that the Fed could make unnecessary interest rate hikes because of the hysteria surrounding inflation.

Let me point out that progressives have been against hiking inflation rates all along-- they want to keep spending and they don't mind hyperinflation. You should also remember they all bought into the claim that we're in a "post-inflationary economy" and that we could print and spend as much Fake Money as we liked and it would have no serious inflationary effects.

So they're ideologically committed to pushing this and seeing if inflation just "goes away" with even more spending. They want to see if the cure for inflation is more inflation. Hair of the dog.

So that story was planted in the media by a "think tank" which is just a progressive Democrat propaganda outfit with in a fake "policy" wrapper.

And now they're planting another story: the story of how it's really Republicans causing inflation, by noticing inflation.

So the brain trust at the New York Times and the very productive progressive propagandist Dean Baker think that if they claim Republicans are causing inflation by noting that Biden caused inflation, we'll stop blaming Biden for inflation?

Hey idiots, the Jedi Mind-Trick works on the weak-minded, not for the weak-minded.

These are petulant children. They're babies. They're playing baby games. "Nuh-uh, am not! I'm rubber you're glue! Whatever inflation you call on me bounces off me and sticks to you!"

"He who smelt the inflation dealt the inflation!"

Cry moar, babies.

Your sexy tears are the nourishing rain that makes my Dick-Timber grow tall and angry.

Beware of taking a victor lap. I don't think this is over. The left never, ever gives up. Never. They're like retarded malfunctioning Terminators stumbling around spewing oil and spit everywhere, but they keep going forever. This is not the last we've heard of this climate "package." Especially since this may be their last chance before the GOP retakes Congress in November (hopefully).

Oh that's accurate, of course. The first article noted that Biden will now use "all of his authority" -- his assumed tyrannical powers -- to just order on his own fake authority what the Constitution demands the legislature authorize.

82 Free Speech, Shmee Speech, I honestly don't know how a country survives when its information organs are so hopelessly biased and dishonest. I know that plenty of people see through the propaganda but the critical thing is that many, if not most, don't. Whether through deliberate dumbing down or whatever the fuck other reason, this greatest country in human history is being destroyed by deliberate lies.

There is a reason that revolutionary movements always - repeat always - seize the means of communication first, in order to get their message out. This slow motion revolution that the Left has been waging just had the patience to do it slowly. And they've accomplished their goal - total dominance of the information complex.

I really don't think that's the case. If they could have bought him off they would have. They shovel money all over the place with no regard.

He also killed BBB which would have made inflation much worse today than it already is. I don't agree with him on much but I think he sees what far left socialist policies are doing. He was asked after BBB if he feared having people like AOC go to W. VA and protest him and he said he would send a bus to NYC to help them come because the more they scream the more popular he gets with his constituents.

203 In the big picture, the US elites in follow on to an attack by China brought the western world to economic collapse to Get Trump.

China let the virus get good and seeded in the rest of the world to share their misery/level the damage. And once it went pandemic, our elites saw the opportunity to exaggerate the "crisis" to the point no one could possibly solve it, with the intention of Blaming The Failure On Trump.

First we were "running out ventilators" (which were never saving lives) --but Trump managed a to build more than they asked for. Then we were "running out of hospital beds" --but NYC left the hospital ships unused and just sent Covid into the nursing homes. Etc etc etc. Then they suppressed treatments. And they kept it going:demanding total societal shutdown, full knowing it would trash the economy for years to come. And they did all this just to hope the public would Blame It On Trump.

And it basically worked (to bring the election within the margin of D cheating). And now when Europe is on the verge of collapse, our economy is in the crapper and we're looking at world wide famine, they blame it on "The Pandemic."

A lot of GOPe beltway types want carbon taxes, cap and trade, etc. for the grift. Not because they think it will actually work. The financial industry wants it because of the arbitrage it would bring and it will destroy most of the rationale for what is left of manufacturing production in the US so they can justify moving production overseas to cheap subservient labor.

A side bonus is that it will please their scientifically illiterate children and their spouses with Ivy League educations as well as their Dem friends. Our upper class by and large is scientifically, economically, historically, socially, and numerically ignorant and proud of that fact. That is because our betters in society are vicious, petty, ignorant, social climbing, backstabbing, immoral, and venal.

237 I was having this conversation with gf last night.

This is my simplistic understanding, so feel free to correct me and I promise to take no offense.

The way I see it, American energy companies had the technology and infrastructure to harvest natural resources from other countries that they could not exploit themselves. They entered into agreements to split the take on those resources in exchange for mining/drilling those resources.

Eventually, those countries said "f*ck you, we are gonna do it ourselves" or "f*ck the old deal, we want a better deal" as they stabilized and became enriched. Then American energy companies said "We'll remove your leader before we let you just sell all of your own stuff and keep all the profit". And so we incited regime changes and started wars.

But now many of those countries are too big to effectively mess with militarily and are wise to the routine.

If we're doomed regardless, the right approach is to completely get out of the way. Tear up every single law and regulation you can put your hands on and encourage maximum production of all goods in all industries regardless of externalities. Allow the industrial/scientific complex to start tackling the problems of survival unfettered by government interference and produce as many goods as possible for as long as we can, so as to lessen the blow of ecological collapse when it comes.

If you truly think you're doomed, you pull out all the stops to try to produce your way out of the problem, you don't constrain production and make yourself less prepared when doomsday comes.

Their problem is that computers can actually write more and more of their news 'copy' and do propaganda better. Unemployment is in their future. People are becoming increasingly illiterate which kills the market for books so it becomes harder and harder for leftist grifters to get sweet book advance subsidies and soon we will have deep fakes so that NBC, etc. can simply substitute Tom Brokaw's virtual image mouthing the current party line forever instead of live human beings. Personally, I think I would prefer the deep fake news because you would no longer have to worry about what hidden demons lurked underneath that placid face.

304 "We are not going to meet our targets, period," said Leah Stokes, a professor of environmental policy at the University of Santa Barbara, California, who has advised congressional Democrats on climate legislation.

More Leah:

Manchin says he won't support the climate bill. I'm holding my children and sobbing.

I don't know how Manchin will look his own grandchildren in the eyes tonight. He is condemning them to a broken planet. Shameful doesn't begin to describe it.

She's young and cute, so we should give her everything she wants.

Some cynic noted that there was almost certainly buried in the bill funding for her personally, disguised with conditions that only she would be able to meet.

310 This month, the Interior Department offered the possibility of 11 new offshore oil and gas lease sales in the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska -- despite Mr. Biden's campaign promise to end new drilling in federal waters -- which two administration officials described as an effort to appease Mr. Manchin. The White House also was weighing whether to allow a path for other fossil fuel projects, like a gas pipeline in West Virginia, in order to gain Mr. Manchin's vote.

Manchin understands his fellow demorats only too well. Too many weasel words does not a concession make.

i've been noticing that people, especially europeans, and in older texts, use the word "blonde" to mean pretty much anything "lighter than black haired." In fact, I've seen used to mean "light EYED," even with dark hair.

One semi-modern example of this is calling Clint Eastwood "Blondie" in the Good The Bad and the Ugly, despite his hair being brown. Brown is "blond" because it's not black.

So, the usual end result is a tyrant that suppresses the upper class, placates the oligarchs, and is a demogogue to the masses. That is usually preferable to the masses than an insatiabile debased aristocracy of the many which is what we have now.

Raad is a Democratic political hack, unsurprisingly.

Jamal Raad is a co-founder and executive director for Evergreen.

He most recently ran communications for the presidential campaign for Washington state Governor Jay Inslee, a grassroots movement to put climate change at the top of the national agenda. An alum of Willamette University, Jamal loves drinking coffee, being on Twitter too much and cooking, especially Lebanese food.

383 The dearth of actual, accomplished businessmen in politics - or accomplished politicians with executive experience for that matter - has meant we no longer see campaigns that operate in any rational way.

Years ago a candidate would focus on what they had done, to demonstrate their competence. Experience.

Keep an eye peeled for this tactic. Almost none of these clowns have done anything notable. That's why the focus on "firsts". - the first homosexual to be elected to this (as if this is a political qualification).

390 Grant's greatest strength and greatest weakness was that he was always offensive minded. Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks, Now the Summer of Our Discontent at July 15, 2022 02:10 PM (FVME7)

One of my favorite Grant anecdotes was that in his first experience as commander of the Union armies, he was at the Wilderness as Union forces retreated around him. He got a camp chair and sat down. One of his staff officers said, "General, we have to get out of here." He replied, "It strikes me that it might be a better idea to order up some artillery and defend the present position." By force of will, he stopped the campaign from becoming another rout.

Posted by: Caesar North of the Rubicon at July 15, 2022 02:16 PM (7B5FA)

Posted by: Aetius451AD at July 15, 2022 02:06 PM (dNqv+)

I think so, too. The original source is from Horace Porter's book "Campaigning With Grant", and Porter was a bit of a prig.

Another Grant quote I like is his response to a staff officer as whether they should burn buildings in Port Gibson, MS. after the battle. Grant replied "No. It's too beautiful to burn." That quote is on Port Gibson's official welcome signs placed on both sides of US 61.

Posted by: Paul
---------------------
Don't work that way son, corporations pay taxes but put these costs on the consumer. Otherwise they go out of business. The idea of high taxes is perpetual among socialists but the actual effect is on the consumers. The oligarchs have other means to keep their money not available to the masses. The era of 'high taxes' was frought with businesses simply absorbing costs of their owners and ceos as 'business expenses" which were deductible. What you want is the effective tax rate which was much lower when all the deductions were excluded during that era.

You might try reading up on social choice theory a bit or you can go with Sen. Russell Long (Dem-LA) who was chair of the Senate Finance Cmte long ago--'Don't tax you, Don't tax me, tax that feller behind the tree'.

From a NOAA report released yesterday -
Globally, June 2022 was the sixth-warmest June in the 143-year NOAA record. The year-to-date (January-June) global surface temperature was also the sixth warmest on record. According to NCEI’s Global Annual Temperature Outlook, there is a greater than 99% chance that 2022 will rank among the 10-warmest years on record but only an 11% chance that it will rank among the top five.

413 inflation concerns become even more heightened and consumers begin expecting prices to keep rising, that could compel workers to ask their bosses for bigger raises in anticipation of goods and services becoming more costly.

The lack of self-awareness is truly astounding. Does Schiff not realize that most of the country agrees with him on that, and that it's his party's policies that put us back into this mess after, as whoever Sam Prescott is said, Trump's policies pulled us out of it for the first time in decades?

444 Years ago a candidate would focus on what they had done, to demonstrate their competence. Experience.

A Democrat I know believes there should be a requirement that a President have been a governor first, for exactly this reason.

Democrat governor Presidents in the last 100 years: FDR, Clinton, Carter (which invalidates the hypothesis, btw)

Democrat non-governor Presidents: Truman, JFK, LBJ, Obama, Biden

Of course such a requirement would reuire a Constitutional amendment, and Democrats aren't real big on the Constitution, so that's another issue.

Not good for workers, but there was a lot of inflation hidden for years, since the middle workers were not where the money was going. The rich became much richer but were not buying more every day goods ... they became billionaires and bought influence.

Still true that much of the trillions created is making the rich much richer, but shortages are coming partly due to the restrictions on oil, and Covid Madness. Small business got slammed, many closed or closing. That will mean more shortages. But more stimulus for the rich is always the answer. (till something breaks)

---------------------------
Not really, any blame on humans effecting global climate change rests on a huge number of variables that interact with each other. Cloud cover, the sun, magnetic field strength, other warming gases, urbanization, feedback mechanisms such as CO2 absorption end encapsulation by growing plants including algae, yadda, yadda, yadda.

Our measuring sticks are themselves uncertain as weather station data is chained to using arguably inappropriately located temperature measuring stations in now urban heat islands. You change the station location, you make historical comparisons impossible; no change, invalid. Probably one of the better measuring devices of global temperatures are satellite measurements but the last that I checked, the effect size of temperature change projected from CO2 was much less than the error rate of measurement from satellites.

It is very common for male patients in a hospital with dementia to try and grab nurse's T & A, ask for "massages" and make wildly inappropriate comments. They are talked to about their behavior, apologize, and then forget about everything within minutes. With Biden, he has always been this way and his son has taken after him in a crack-head way. They think they are hot and all women want them.

I doubt that nurses whispered in his ear the way he thinks they did and rubbed his face the way he thinks they did. Ick.

I would argue observational equivalence is at work here. In any given situation, one cannot discount that it is an Op whether or not it actually is. In Epstein's case, the evidence clearly points to that he or his handler Ghislane were actually providing intel to various agencies. My guess is that the route led through foreign intel agents actually getting the intel but then through the liaison process providing it to our domestics. Plausible deniability is a time worn intel procedure and letting foreign agencies do the dirty work domestically has been done in the past. Such as the Five eyes intercepts where each nation in the pact relies on foreigner cutout agents to do the dirty work for each nation.

Why would an abortionist report an abortion given to an underage girl conceived by rape? I mean that's a line of repeat business (with hefty service surcharges) that will likely last for years.

We know abortion providers enable child sex crimes. We know they make money off of them. We know they are despicable human beings.

I told you all yesterday this was the other shoe to drop. Coded as "minor-minor conception" so they could dispose of any DNA and not have to report the crime.
The final thump will be that it was the rapist who drove the minor across state lines to get the abortion.

And PP reported him as her father, without any verification whatsoever. The abortion doc lied on the forms because they were told by the girl her "father" was the father of the baby-- she didn't know she was supposed to lie.

And then PP--knowing she was raped by her "father,"-- released the victim back into the custody of the rapist.

575 562 And PP reported him as her father, without any verification whatsoever. The abortion doc lied on the forms because they were told by the girl her "father" was the father of the baby-- she didn't know she was supposed to lie.

And then PP--knowing she was raped by her "father,"-- released the victim back into the custody of the rapist.

It's a good thing that the left decided to publicize this story without looking into it.

A lot of crimes are getting uncovered because of the attention.

Which means that yes, someone was running Epstein. As you allude, Burt, just because people were wearing FBI jackets does not necessarily mean that it was the FBI. But dollars for donuts if anyone tries to investigate what's going on the hammer will fall on them, so no one is even asking the questions.

Ummmm because she's sexually active? And I refuse to believe it was just once. The Rape family here probably knew she was pregnant, and was just continuing the sexual abuse knowing she couldn't get MORE pregnant, with a plan to abort around the 3-6 month time frame, to maximize that abortion related birth control. And got caught with their figurative and literal pants down by Dobbs.
