During an interview with Nexstar Media that took place on Tuesday and was released on Wednesday, President Joe Biden stated that inflation “is being stubborn and not going down to the 2% we need. But, it’s significantly different,” than where it was and “the thing that really affects people’s lives are all the small things that add up to big numbers for people, all these junk fees.”

Nexstar Washington Correspondent Reshad Hudson asked, “[R]ight now, for many Americans, life is too expensive. Are you concerned that stubborn inflation will hurt your re-election bid?”

Biden responded, “Well, look, we’ve brought down inflation considerably, by over two-thirds, and it is being stubborn and not going down to the 2% we need. But, it’s significantly different, number one. Number two, the thing that really affects people’s lives are all the small things that add up to big numbers for people, all these junk fees.”

Even if inflation is coming down (and it’s not), Brandon was the bozo who ran it up.

The war on energy extends beyond oil and gas. Netzero and various state legislatures that mandate certain percentages of electrical generation must come from renewables adds to the costs of electricity and decreases the supply of reliable power.

No doubt, Biden will cite the fact that we are now producing more oil than peak production during the Trump Administration, but it fails to recognize that Trump’s policies would have added millions of bbls of oil per day.

We will feel the impact of Biden’s war on energy for decades even if Trump is re-elected.

$20 for a 5# package of ground beef. NOT the fancy stuff, either.

When it was 19¢ per gallon, the 9/10 made a little sense.


But now it's $7.25 per gallon it's just STUPID!
