Karine Jean-Pierre Defends Biden Celebrating on White House Lawn as Inflation Melted Down the Stock Market: It Was a "Celebration for the American People"

After yesterday's expected "unexpected" report of another near-record month for inflation, the stock market fell by the greatest amount since the covid panic of 2020.

U.S. stocks nosedived Tuesday after a surprising inflation report showed prices rose more than expected last month.

Wall Street firms better start hiring some conservatives to balance out their dweeb cvck Yuppie liberals if they don't want to lose billions of dollars being surprised by all these "unexpected" events.

All three major averages logged their worst day since June 2020.
Technology stocks led the way down, with the Nasdaq Composite plunging 5.2%. Tuesday's session marks the seventh time this year the Nasdaq slid 4% or more, per data from Bespoke Investment Group. No declines of the same size were recorded last year, while 10 were experienced in 2020.
The S&P 500 sank 4.3%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average erased more than 1,275 points, or roughly 4%.

White House spokesdummy Karine Jean-Pierre defended Biden staging a "celebration" on the White House lawn, claiming the biggest drop in stock value since the covid panics of 2020 was a "celebration for the American people."

When asked whether the lawn celebration created good optics when juxtaposed with the collapsing Dow, Jean-Pierre brushed off criticism of the event's tone.
"Let's not forget the the moment that we saw on the South Lawn of the the president and thousands of get the inflation reduction act done was a celebration for the American people, was a win for the American people," Jean-Pierre told reporters during an off-camera gaggle Wednesday.

Gnat-brained thuggette. Go deny some more elections, Insurrectionist.

Larry Kudlow noted that inflation is spreading, and getting worse.

Today's CPI inflation report shocked Wall Street and the nation with a significantly higher than expected print. Pollyannas everywhere are painfully learning that there's no magic cure. There's no easy way out.
After several years of excessive federal spending, regulating, taxing and money-printing, the highest inflation in 40 years is deeply embedded in the economy and it is spreading. The only significant decline came with gasoline prices.
Overall, the topline CPI came in at 8.3% for the year -- food up 11.4%, even energy is still up 24%. Electricity is up 16%; natural gas 33%; new cars 10%. Even with the recent drop, gasoline is still 26% above a year ago. Rent is up 6.5%. Overall, services are up nearly 7%. Core goods prices are up 7%. Used cars are up nearly 8%. The so-called core inflation rate, omitting food and energy, has risen 6.5% annually over just the past three months.
In terms of broader measures, the Cleveland Fed's median CPI increased to 6.7% year-on-year and the 16% trimmed mean, which chops off the highest and lowest 8% of outlier prices, is up 7.2%. The Atlanta Fed's wage tracker is up 6.7%, but real wages had their 17th-straight negative month. In other words, middle-class working folks are getting clobbered, absolutely clobbered. They're working more but buying less.
Around the kitchen table -- grocery prices, home heating, air conditioning, electricity, baby formula -- all these price hikes are killing the middle class and then we have the unseemly sight of James Taylor serenading the White House in a bizarre celebration of Mr. Biden's "Inflation Reduction Act." You can't make this stuff up.

Note that food prices rose -- "unexpectedly!" -- across the board.

The only thing that kept this inflation report from being worse is the fact that we're in a recession, and in a recession, people use less fuel, because they travel less and produce less and ship less product.

So Biden's recession has stopped the rise of Biden's fuel cost inflation.

That is not a good way to slow the rate of inflation, though. A recession is not a good way to keep inflation down.

Grid notes that "inflation is slowing for the wrong reasons."

There's reason to believe that falling gas prices and energy prices will continue through the end of the year, which would effectively put a cap on any increase in overall inflation. But that's only part of the overall picture. One worrying aspect of this month's report was that "core" inflation -- the increase in prices not counting food or energy -- was 0.6 percent and is 6.3 percent over the past year. Some analysts had expected these prices to fall, and instead they went up.
...
In August, most items the Bureau of Labor Statistics measures actually increased in price, but things related to oil fell, as well as used cars, whose prices fell 0.1 percent. These had been major drivers of inflation since the economy began to reopen. Where there were price increases -- and sizable ones -- were in things like housing and food and even utility gas.
...
[I]nflation in goods and services besides food and energy -- whose prices are very closely linked to the global trade in commodities like oil and grain and are much more volatile -- would have to come down. This measure of inflation hasn't gotten close to 8 percent. It's right now running at 6.3 percent, which is an increase from last month's 5.6 percent annual rate. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg expected the core measure to come in at 6.1 percent. This is still well north of the Fed's 2 percent target, which is actually targeting a version of this "core" price index.

Businesses can cut back on fuel costs in response to a recession by simply producing and shipping less, but families can't cut rent, heating costs, and food costs just by using less.

CNN cuts away from Biden to highlight the "Dow taking a total beating."

This is what Wall Street wanted.

They had a roaring economy that they helped destroy by buying into covididiocy and then backing Democrats and then squashing any public support for Trump regarding the obvious and out in the open steal.

They helped to make this happen. It won't matter to them, though. The C-suite will get their guaranteed golden parachutes and get onto new boards of directors anyway. Sure, their stock option packages won't be as robust, but they won't be starving.

"Credit card balances increased $46 billion in the second quarter, a 5.5 percent increase from the first quarter, and there was also an uptick in new credit card accounts. The 13 percent increase from the second quarter of 2021 to the second quarter of 2022 was the biggest such jump in more than 20 years."

So things are going to get significantly worse as the government spends more without borrowing, promotes more destructive policies, and damages the entire economic and manufacturing process in the name of stopping a mythical future doom.

81 For the left in the White House and academia, they have a president who'll just do whatever he's ordered to "I don't even know what I'm signing!" and they can now finally execute their perfect strategy unhindered by anyone. Everything was supposed to be perfect, everyone was supposed to be marching in the streets singing their praises. It was all going to be wonderful. They cannot understand how this isn't working, so they are blaming "domestic extremists" etc.

124 Honestly, if you asked me why the "inflation party" happened with all the big wigs, the admin was probably promised by the politico in charge of the department that inflation would be lower and they could take a victory lap, even if some lower category numbers weren't great b/c the media would totally cover for any of those numbers...

This was an example of both fed gov rank and file just telling the emperor (through their politico) what he wanted to hear and the media deciding they weren't going to go along rank and file on this one...

I mean, fed gov got 2.7 this year and is looking at 4.6 next year...that's NOWHERE close to the inflation the last 2 years, and they are probably getting restless about this, too. I mean, fed gov rank and file doesn't ever get midyear raises or big bonuses (or really any bonuses)...

127 "The only thing that kept this inflation report from being worse is the fact that we're in a recession, and in a recession, people use less fuel, because they travel less and produce less and ship less product."

This is of course not completely true across the board. Look at fuel oil and gas that people will be using to heat their homes this winter. That consumption is relatively stable and while there will be some conservation because people are being kicked in the nuts across the board by inflation, you need a certain amount of heat to not freeze to death. If the winter is colder then normal, expect fuel prices to rise.

Even better, it is going to be depleted the autumn if he keeps it up. We will have burned through our reserves during the *summer* - when it is less necessary - leaving no buffer for the winter when we're trying to keep the heat on here at home and also trying to keep Europe from freezing.

Thee is less than 25 days worth of oil in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and it is being drained at the rate of 1,000,000 barrels a day. 538 million barrels is all that remains, the lowest level on record since 1987. and if biden keeps up with the 1 million barrel daily release through next year as he has stated, it will be at only 250 million barrels, not even 10 days of oil use in the US.

167 According to a new study published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine, acute corneal allografts are being rejected by immunized patients who've undergone the procedure. Researchers say the underlying cause could be tied to a systemic inflammatory response elicited by the shot post-jab.

The cornea is the outermost layer of a person’s eye. Corneal grafts are used to restore a damaged cornea. The surgery is known to be one of the most successful organ transplant procedures with low rejection rates. It restores vision, reduces eye pain and improves the appearance of the diseased cornea.

Japanese researchers compiled data from 23 studies. A total of 23 eyes from 21 patients who had undergone corneal graft procedures were assessed. Graft rejection occurred anywhere from one day to six weeks after vaccination in all patients–some who underwent the procedure as far back as twenty years ago.

191 "The only thing that kept this inflation report from being worse is the fact that we're in a recession, and in a recession, people use less fuel, because they travel less and produce less and ship less product."

This is of course not completely true across the board. Look at fuel oil and gas that people will be using to heat their homes this winter. That consumption is relatively stable and while there will be some conservation because people are being kicked in the nuts across the board by inflation, you need a certain amount of heat to not freeze to death. If the winter is colder then normal, expect fuel prices to rise.
Posted by: Marcus T at September 14, 2022 03:33 PM (VpIIl)

More like its nonsense. We already know fuel increases aren't counted in the numbers. So measuring inflation or the lack of it by fuel use is irrelevant.

The Philadelphia artist, whose real name is Rakim Allen, was gunned down Monday at a Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles restaurant while eating with his girlfriend. A robber approached their table and demanded items from the victim, according to Los Angeles police. A verbal exchange ended when the assailant opened fire, striking the rapper multiple times.

Rock’s girlfriend had posted the location and tagged the rapper in an Instagram post that has since been deleted.

Kind of sort of is, they switched to E&S, which just so happens to have used to be owned by Dominion, Dominion spun it off as to not have a monopoly in voting systems and for plausible deniability.

There's also a numbers problem, the Republican registration dwarfs Donk registration 2:1, and there are not massive cities where you can run up the score, steal votes without it being obvious theft. biggest city in Wyoming is Cheyanne at 65k.

Still, if the powers that be wanted Liz to win, she would have won, she didn't win because, everyone thinks Liz is an a**hole.

417 The Biden administration has picked a veteran foreign service officer with years of experience in Russian affairs as its nominee to be the next ambassador to Russia.

She's gotten a lot of winner assignments:

Embarking on a career in Foreign Service Tracy served in a variety of international assignments, focused especially in Central and South Asia, including Deputy Chief of Mission in Embassy Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, Principal Officer in Peshawar, Pakistan from 1995 to 1997, and Principal Officer in Astana, Kazakhstan. Tracy served as Political Officer in Kabul, Afghanistan from 2002 to 2003, Consular Officer in Bishkek from 1997 to 2000, Kyrgyzstan and as Political/Consular Officer in Peshawar, Pakistan.
---
In 2009 Tracy received the Secretary's Award for Heroism for her performance as Principal Officer in Peshawar. On Aug. 26, 2008, she had been attacked by gunmen who sprayed her automobile with bullets, shooting out the front tires. Tracy, her bodyguard and driver all escaped.

426 Danish Health Authority:

People aged under 50 are generally not at particularly higher risk of becoming severely ill from covid-19. In addition, younger people aged under 50 are well protected against becoming severely ill from covid-19, as a very large number of them have already been vaccinated and have previously been infected with covid-19, and there is consequently good immunity among this part of the population.

It is important that the population also remembers the guidance on how to prevent the spread of infection, including staying at home in case of illness, frequent aeration or ventilation, social distancing, good coughing etiquette, hand hygiene and cleaning.

Mike Sebold initially received a letter from the state's Department of Environmental Protection after listing his modified 2008 Ram 2500 on Facebook Marketplace. Officials took issue with the pickup's deleted emissions equipment and, in turn, told Sebold his truck must be returned to stock or taken off the road. But after he decided to turn in his plates and keep it for off-road use, Sebold claims they've forced him to make an appointment with the crusher.

In this time the left will eat everything they can, bury all the evidence, and then cry foul when they lose the WH. But they will all be fat and happy with moles throughout the govt.

They can propose all they like - Alito already ruled it doesn't belong to the Feds. Only the states. It will be struck down so fast most red states won't even stop to read it, and will ignore it. Any GOP senator from a purple or red state up for re-election will lose their seat if they vote for it.

It's similar in AL. There are some privately-owned liquor stores, but the state is the only legal distributor. It's a total grift. Seats on the ABC board are considered plum political patronage positions. Someone in every legislative sessions introduces a bill to privatize liquor, but it never goes anywhere.

After much fussing around I went with the Bose - SoundSport Wireless Sports In-Ear Earbuds because they sound fine, are affordable ($129), simple to use, and most importantly the ear buds are connected to each other by a cable. The cable also has clip so you can anchor them to your clothing. One thing for sure about ear buds: they will pop out of your ear at some point and you won't notice it and just like that you have an ear bud (usually the one without the controls because the universe is like that).

Unfortunately, the 14th amendment allows Congress to make laws overriding States if it believes that they are abusing the rights of their citizens.

This is exactly how the current Congress would plan to "ratify Roe". Because a state would not be recognizing a "right to reproductive choice".

497 Booze is available here whenever the grocery stores are open. When I was a kid, you could buy liquor on Sunday, but not hardware. The only time the liquor aisle was roped off was Election Day.

Other parishes have their own rules. In Lafayette, you couldn't buy hard liquor after 2 am on Sunday morning. Then they added beer and wine. The annoying thing was that they did not post any signs at the beer cooler. If you were new in town, you toted your six-pack to the register all unknowing, and only then did they tell you, "Sorry, can't sell that."

501 There are three things: No. 1, I legally acknowledge that Joe Biden secured a sufficient number of votes under our existing system to become the President of the US. I do not concede that the process was proper, nor do I condone that process. No. 2, I believe we won in that we transformed the electorate and achieved a dramatic increase in turnout. It was a systemic and, I think, sustainable change in the composition of the electorate and in the transformation of the narrative about America and American politics. Three, I have no empirical evidence that I would have achieved a higher number of votes. However, I have sufficient and I think legally sufficient doubt about the process to say that it was not a fair election.
