Inflation hits 30 year high to become Biden’s latest crisis; Manchin says DC ‘can no longer ignore’ pain

 

BPR  "Inflation has officially become the latest crisis to hit the Biden administration as U.S. consumer prices rose at the fastest annual pace in more than 30 years, squeezing American families on food, gas, and energy just before the holidays hit.

"A myriad of woes are afflicting Biden as the supply chain bogs down and shortages become prevalent in America. Many experts contend that the current inflation is not “transitory” as Biden asserts and have severe doubts about his claim that the Build Back Better agenda will alleviate inflation.

"The consumer price index rose an astonishing 6.2% year over year in October, according to the Labor Department. That is the largest annual gain since November of 1990. Prices reportedly jumped 0.9% month over month.

"Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) is calling out Biden over inflation. He tweeted on Wednesday, “By all accounts, the threat posed by record inflation to the American people is not ‘transitory’ and is instead getting worse. From the grocery store to the gas pump, Americans know the inflation tax is real and DC can no longer ignore the economic pain Americans feel every day.' ". . . 

 

Fears from the Rittenhouse Trial

Shooting victim says he was pointing his gun at Rittenhouse

MOB JUSTICE: Judge, Jurors Threatened in Rittenhouse, Daunte Wright Trials  . . ."George Floyd’s nephew, Cortez Rice, has issued veiled threats to the jurors in the Kyle Rittenhouse case, with the support of Unicorn Riot, an antifa affiliated organization.  “I ain’t even gonna name the people that I know that’s up in the Kenosha trial,” Rice said. “But it’s cameras in there. It’s definitely cameras up in there. There’s definitely people taking pictures of the juries and everything like that. We know what’s going on.” “so we need the same results, man.” said Rice in a video released today.  Rice has a history of intimidating jurors and judges in prominent cases, coordinating with antifa and BLM activists.  In the Daunte Wright case, Rice located the apartment of the female judge presiding over the case and stood outside the door of her home.". . .

 Here is why the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse matters to every American "Why should you care about the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse? The answer is simple. Because his case is at the heart of the Bill of Rights, and a harbinger of future actions against the Second Amendment. It reaches the very soul of America. As well as the brave men and women who fought to secure the Greatest Nation on earth."

 "Whether it is self-defense against a robber, murderer, a band of marauding Indians or Antifa, and even an out-of-control government. The Second Amendment was written to allow citizens the God-given right to defend themselves against such evil.

"And that is exactly what Kyle Rittenhouse did. And it is why the left needs to punish him for using his God-given rights, as protected by our Constitution. A constitution that does not limit that right by age. You see, when the Constitution was written it was expected that young men of 14, 15, and 16 would be armed and know how to use those weapons to defend themselves." . . .

A disgraceful prosecution finally rested in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial

 

Communities Digital News

Andrea Widburg  "On Tuesday, the Kyle Rittenhouse prosecution rested its case after its witnesses once again strongly supported Kyle's assertion that he only acted in self-defense.  In a righteous world, the judge would, on his own initiative, order a directed verdict in Kyle's favor.  Instead, it emerged that there's a plan to terrorize the jurors (and, by implication, the judge).  Also the mainstream media, of course, pretended the prosecution had actually proved its case.

"Once again, I've turned to Andrew Branca's excellent post summarizing what happened at the trial, and, again, I'm just skimming the surface of his analysis.  To orient those of you who haven't been following this, Kyle Rittenhouse borrowed a rifle, gathered his medical kit, and headed to Kenosha in the wake of the Jacob Blake riots.  His goal was to help clean up the damage, offer first aid, and protect businesses from being destroyed.  Instead, he shot three White communist felons, two of whom died.  Video footage supported the claim of self-defense, and, as the six days of trial have shown, witness testimony did, too.

"The prosecution put on two final witnesses before resting its case: James Armstrong, an imaging expert witness, and Doug Kelley, M.D., who performed autopsies on the two men Kyle killed.  Armstrong was a substantively useless witness, while Kelley's evidence affirmatively helped the defense.  I'll ignore Armstrong and focus on Kelley.

"One of the things Kelley testified about was whether the decedents were near or far from Kyle when he shot them.  If they were within inches of the gun, there'd be soot around the wounds; if they were within four feet of the gun, there'd be gunpowder stippling; and if they were farther away, all those marks would be missing." . . .

Flustered Adam Schiff Tries to Squirm Out of His Debunked Steele Dossier Comments

Townhall

As Guy also pointed out, Schiff is pretty much the last person to lecture anyone on lies surrounding Russian collusion.

"Joining The View as a guest host on Tuesday, former State Department Spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus confronted Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) over his actions to further the lies contained in the Steele Dossier and he didn't do well trying to explain why his advancement of Russian disinformation is different from what he accuses others of doing.

" 'You've been really prolific over the past few years being the head of the Intel Committee," Ortagus noted, "and you defended, promoted, you even read into the Congressional Record the Steele Dossier — and we know last week the main source of the dossier was indicted by the FBI for lying about most of the key claims in that dossier."

"Due to the recent revelations that confirmed what most already thought about the origins and credibility of the dossier, Ortagus asked Schiff: " 'Do you have any reflections on your role in promoting this to the American people?"

"As Glenn Greenwald pointed out, Ortagus' question was the toughest Schiff has received for his role in perpetuating literal fake news.:

Notable that Adam Schiff -- who appears on every CNN, MSNBC and Sunday morning network news program as often as possible -- just had his first truly adversarial questioning about his pathological Russiagate lies not on any of those networks but from Morgan Ortagus on the View.

Not until he genocidally murdered 13 million, and nearly half a million American soldiers perished, did this ungodly evil end.

Biden Puts Another Pipeline On The Chopping Block

. . . “ 'The Army Corps of Engineers is preparing an environmental impact to look through this,” Jean-Pierre said in a press briefing, after denying reports that President Joe Biden is preparing to revoke the Canadian pipeline’s permit — as happened to the Keystone XL pipeline on his first day in office.

Must-see Tucker Carlson video about the cause of America's woes

Where John Durham’s Investigation Is Heading

 Andrew C. McCarthy

"Reading the tea leaves, it appears the special counsel’s end game is something other than a sweeping indictment."

"Last week's indictment of Igor Danchenko has the commentaria buzzing. If special counsel John Durham has cracked the core of the Russiagate case, if he has established that the Steele dossier on which the FBI substantially based its spy warrants was fraudulent, does that mean he is nearing a sweeping conspiracy indictment? Will there be criminal charges that target the real 2016 collusion — not between the Trump campaign and Russia, but between the Clinton campaign and U.S. officials who abused government investigative powers for political purposes?

"Almost certainly not.

"All signs are that Durham will end his investigation with a narrative report. It has looked that way for a long time. There are reasons why then-attorney general Bill Barr appointed then-Connecticut U.S. attorney Durham as a special counsel shortly before the Trump administration ended.

"Unlike ordinary federal prosecutors, who either file charges or close investigations without comment, special counsels are required by regulation to write a report for the attorney general. As we saw with special counsel Robert Mueller’s report in 2019, there is typically great outside pressure on the AG to make such reports public (though doing so is not required). Barr obviously knew enough about Durham’s investigation to grasp that there was unlikely to be a grand, overarching criminal-conspiracy case; there had, however, been rampant malfeasance and abuse of power that might never come to light absent a comprehensive investigative report". . . 

Granholm’s ‘Shock’ Aside, US Energy Dominance Is Exactly Where Biden Wants It — Weakened

Daily Caller

"When U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm was asked a direct question about skyrocketing gas prices, her response was as telling as it was disappointing. Instead of offering middle-class Americans an explanation or an apology or a sliver of hope, she let out a hearty laugh.

“ 'Oh my…that is hilarious! As you know, oil is a global market. It is controlled by a cartel, that cartel is called OPEC, and they made a decision yesterday that they were not going to increase [production] beyond what they were already planning.”

"How did America fall so far, so fast on the topic of energy? How, in less than a calendar year, did we go from energy independence to begging foreign cartels like OPEC for more supply? We went from net-exporting our oil to hoping that someone will help fill gaps in our energy supply.

"If Secretary Granholm and President Biden want to find those responsible for putting us at the mercy of a cartel, they need to look in the mirror.

"Of course, it didn’t have to be this way.  The greatest country in the world shouldn’t have to rely on the “generosity” of countries who – for the most part – hate everything we stand for." . . .

Vaccine Mandates – What’s the End Game?

 

https://www.terrellaftermath.com/

Brian C. Joondeph, M.D.  "Once upon a time, President Joe Biden was against vaccine mandates. As president-elect in December 2020, he was asked, "Do you want vaccines to be mandatory?" His answer at the time seemed clear, "No I don't think it should be mandatory, I wouldn't demand it be mandatory." But that was then, and this is now.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi agreed.

"Last April, when asked about vaccine mandates, she made her position clear, "So—so here is the thing. We are—we cannot require someone to be vaccinated. That's just not what we can do. It is a matter of privacy to know who is or who isn't."

"Yet here we are, with Big Brother issuing this new edict,

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has issued an emergency temporary standard (ETS) to minimize the risk of COVID-19 transmission in the workplace. The ETS establishes binding requirements to protect unvaccinated employees of large employers (100 or more employees from the risk of contracting COVID-19 in the workplace.

"Their rationale is to protect workers from themselves, “Unvaccinated workers are much more likely to contract and transmit COVID-19 in the workplace than vaccinated workers.' ”. . . 

Biden’s vaccine order is about power, not health

Vax mandates are an unhealthy thing for our democracy and represent a willful effort by government to exert additional control over an already cowed population. There is a direct line between the Patriot Act, mass surveillance, and vax mandates that claims “it is all for our own good” when it is more broadly for our own bad. This is about politics, not medicine.

Protecting Pravda; Media censorship is really monopoly protectionism—and the “unfair competition” is you.

..."The Pravda media then creates the duplicitously monikered “fact checkers” and other internal mechanisms to brand your speech as disinformation that is unsafe for public consumption." ...

American Greatness    "It is bitterly ironic how America’s current corporate media embrace censorship—for others, of course. After all, the First Amendment’s recognition and protection of the unalienable right to free speech and the freedom of the press have long been rightly and ardently defended by those making a living in the industry. Their rationale was elementary: an attack on the free speech of one citizen was an attack on the free speech of all citizens.

"Today, however, many of the most strident voices for censorship and self-censorship—including calls for the First Amendment to be radically curtailed—come from the left-wing, spoon-fed, regime-succored Pravda media.

"What changed? Some, rather charitably, believe the Pravda media are enraptured with their regressive leftist ideology—which must be proselytized and protected at all costs, including the adoption of “accountability” (read “biased”) reporting—which impels journalists to ditch objectivity. This in turn spurs demands for both censorship and self-censorship to dispense with ideological inconveniences, such as facts and truth.

"But in actuality, it is best to recall the cardinal rule of politics: follow the money. When one does, the Pravda media’s ignoble motive manifests: censorship is their protectionism.

"Protectionism is usually implemented to preserve manufacturing industries, like automobiles and steel. The industries claim to be economically pressed by what they declare is unfair foreign competition, and demand the government provide subsidies, tax breaks, and/or barriers to market entry for their unfair competitors through tariffs and other policies to protect their jobs and profits. The politicians who support these policies are rewarded with endorsements, contributions, votes, etc." . . .

Still searching for an honest news media; MSNBC fails to make the cut

"On Brian Stelter's Sunday Show "Reliable Sources," an interview with author and editor Batya Ungar-Sargon went in a direction Stelter definitely should have seen coming — but apparently was not prepared for — when discussing last Tuesday's election in the Commonwealth of Virginia. ". . . 

As the mainstream media continues to have a difficult time coming to terms with Republican Glenn Youngkin's win over Clinton lackey and Democrat Terry McAuliffe, CNN's media critic-turned PR flack Stelter apparently thought talking with the author of the book "Bad News: How Woke Media Is Undermining Democracy" would not lead to criticism of the breathless depiction of McAuliffe's loss as a result of voters' racism." . . .

. . . ""You saw host, after host, after host on MSNBC saying 'Oh this is a victory for white supremacy, white supremacy wins again, racism wins again," Ungar-Sargon pointed out. "The Lieutenant Governor that Youngkin won with will be the first black woman to hold that job, when Glenn Youngkin managed to flip majority black districts, when he managed to get between 40 and 50 percent of Latino voters — are all of those people white supremacists?" she asked rhetorically."

. . ."Again, Stelter seemingly didn't see the smackdown coming when he asked Ungar-Sargon "who or what is the 'woke media?'"

"I don't know, you tell me Brian, are we on woke media right now?" she responded". . .
