[Babylon Bee] WASHINGTON, D.C. As fuel shortages cause long lines at gas stations across the country, President Biden admitted he was worried that this may hurt Carter's chances against Reagan in the upcoming election.
"Listen, it's a real problem," said President Biden to his bathtub, which he had mistaken for his press pool. "People need gas. All the Latinx and poor kids need gas-- even the white kids. I'm just worried President Carter may not get reelected. Reagan's comin' on pretty strong."
Solutions proposed by Biden include building some sort of an "extra-large pipeline" to carry more gas into the country or making everyone exchange their automobiles for bicycles.
"We have to do something before Reagan catches Jimmy Carter in the polls!" said Biden.
White House sources report Biden is "fully committed" to solving the gas problem, and that he knows it's 2021 and he's the president.

REGNUM correspondent had a lucky chance to visit the House-Museum of Grigory Rasputin in the Tyumen region.
The controversial figure of the "most famous Russian" Grigory Rasputin, close to the family of the last Russian emperor Nicholas II, still causes a lot of controversy among historians, politicians and even political scientists. His influence on Empress Alexandra Feodorovna and on Emperor Nicholas II was obvious not only to the inner circle of the imperial family, but also to contemporaries of all classes.
[Last Refuge] As expected the high-turn consumable goods are starting to rise in price rapidly. The Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) has released the consumer price analysis from April (remember there’s a big lag) [Top Line Data Here — Detailed Sector Data Here] The trend is rapid inflation continuing with no end in sight. CORE inflation just jumped the most since 1982.
Overall prices are up 4.2 percent year-over-year, which is three times the rate of inflation under Joe Biden than under President Trump. Inflation hurts the lower and middle economic class much harder; and the specific inflation sectors show massive increases on the goods and services that blue collar workers use most.
It is specifically the Biden economic policies that are to blame for the scale of these increased prices. Inflation of this scale is an outcome of policy.
Biden is focused on helping multinationals and Wall Street; President Trump was focused on helping small businesses and Main Street. We are now seeing the impact from these two differing economic priorities.
Regular unleaded gasoline is up a whooping 51.9 percent from last year [Table 7]. Higher gas prices directly hit the middle class the hardest and also increases the cost of transporting all goods. Keep in mind this is a snapshot of prices approximately six weeks ago and gasoline prices have been rising even more rapidly recently. Not good news.
The status of the economy, the employment picture and the stimulus money shows up in the cost of used vehicles rising over 22% last month and 21% compared to last year. People are holding on to their vehicles and when able purchasing newer used vehicles, reflected in the lower inflation on new cars and trucks (2%). Paycheck and wage security is becoming an issue again, especially with the cost of gasoline and food.
The inflation data in the food at home (grocery prices) doesn’t look too dramatic until you drill down into the faster turn fresh fruits and vegetables. Citrus products up 7.8% (lemons, limes and oranges are very expensive) with fresh fruits overall increasing by 6.2%. The less perishable food products, longer shelf life items, reflect slower inflation due to warehouse and shelf inventory (a natural lag). However, the fresh fruits and vegetables carry the immediate price of higher energy and transportation costs. Lettuce up 5.1% year over year. [TABLE 7 has the details]
The rapid increases in price for food and gasoline are hitting the middle-class hard. This will have a downstream effect on more luxury items and durable goods. Spend more on food/gas and you might not be able to purchase that new table you wanted. Durable good inventories increase and layoffs in those sectors begin.
It will be very interesting to watch how the housing market responds over the next few months. If the trendline continues we should see a considerable softening in home sales, again depending on region, as the inflation hits the working class — and the FED might respond by raising interest rates.
The T-bond rates, while increasing, are still low by historic standards, about 1.7% for the 10-year and about 2.4% for the 30 year as of yesterday.

Compounding of interest aside, you mean to tell me over ten fucking years I'd make the equivalent of a dollar seventy for each $100? And $2.40 over 30 years? Give me a g.d. break.
Of course, since we have no true free market, such absurdities are allowed to flourish despite the extra trillions printed by the Fed going back to Dubya.

Public policy for the past ten plus years has suppressed the rate for savings at banks and credit unions to minimal or non-existent levels. The old expectation of a 5% return on passbook savings as a conservative option for low-risk money evaporated long ago. Early policy explanations seemed at times to be transitory, but now, over a decade in, its clear that the expansive monetary policy was designed to drive money into the markets and real estate, and create the inflation solution to massive public debt (paying back older monetary value debt with more abundant and less valued inflationary recent fiat money). This is not going to end well...
[Washington Examiner] Every now and then, a reminder emerges of just how amazing America’s free market economic system really is — the very system that leftists ignorantly decry as "rigged," "plutocratic," and conducive to massive inequality.
But the system is unique, in truth, in having made the life of ordinary people better than it has been at any time or in any place in human history. In the United States today, the average middle- to lower-income family enjoys a standard of living and an access to consumer choices and luxuries far beyond what kings and princes enjoyed even as recently as the 19th century.
Today’s Americans do not suffer lightly the sort of hardships that backward systems such as feudalism and socialism routinely produce — shortages, for example.
That is a gigantic problem for President Joe Biden’s White House this week.
Biden ran for president advocating, or at least paying lip service to, long-standing environmentalist plans designed to create gasoline shortages. They never put it that way, of course, but that has always been their goal in shutting down pipelines and banning new fracking and oil exploration. The whole point has been to stop fossil fuels from being extracted from the ground and burnt to run our economy, in the naive hope that this will cause global temperature patterns to change.
#1
in the naive hope that this will cause global temperature patterns to change.
They aren't naive; climate is the excuse, destroying capitalism is the purpose.
[The National Interest] Here's What You Need To Remember: Russian forces would likely conduct a well-dispersed, fast-moving advance into the Baltic States, which would mean NATO tactical nuclear weapons wouldn’t hit concentrated troop formations, but would instead land on the civilian populations the alliance is supposed to be defending.
Even if NATO resorts to tactical nuclear weapons, it still can’t save the Baltic States from a Russian invasion.
One reason? The Warsaw Pact—the Eastern European satellites of the Soviet empire—can’t be held hostage anymore.
That’s the conclusion of a wargame by the RAND Corporation. In RAND’s view, NATO’s nukes are not a deterrent to Russia because Europe would have far more to lose from a tactical nuclear exchange than Russia.
"The biggest takeaway from the wargame exercise is that NATO lacks escalation dominance, and Russia has the benefit of it," the study found. "In contemplating war in the Baltic states, once nuclear attacks commence, NATO would have much stronger military incentives to terminate nuclear operations, if not all of its operations, than Russia would."
Indeed, the NATO players grappled with the utility of using nukes in the first place. "In our wargame exercise, NATO commanders knew that they would be rapidly overwhelmed by the Russian forces and considered early first use of NSNW [non-strategic nuclear weapons] to prevent that outcome," noted the report. "But, the commanders wondered, what would NATO target?" How about train capabilities, roads, any way Ivan would resupply logistics to their now-isolated troops?
Russian forces would likely conduct a well-dispersed, fast-moving advance into the Baltic States, which would mean NATO tactical nuclear weapons wouldn’t hit concentrated troop formations, but would instead land on the civilian populations the alliance is supposed to be defending. Or, they could attack Russian units forming up in Russia, which would risk a strategic nuclear exchange. The NATO players ultimately chose to send a signal to Russia by dropping five tactical nukes on a Russian mobile air defense missile battery just inside the Latvian border.
#2
Unless we base a corp in the Baltics, Russia can take them over whenever they want. Russia knows that, the Baltic states know that and we know that.
Estonia doesn't even have tanks. If we were serious about helping defend them, the US would donate 32 M1A2s. The tanks sure wouldn't be able to seize Moscow, but it would make invading Estonia damn painful.
#3
The Baltic states are utterly indefensible. The whole point of adding them to NATO was to provide a jumping off point for an invasion. It's only 200 miles from the Estonian border to Moscow.
#5
The whole point of adding them to NATO was to provide a jumping off point for an invasion.
Stop drinking bong water. No one wants to invade Russia.

So basically the RAND corp's wargame advises the 'Defender's of the planet against Russia' to stick to their respective domains and desist from fcuking around.
Just make sure your whole field C4I is not screwed by hackers 'only out for money' plugged into local intranets, long before the first missile has flown. Or that Estonia's economy is not ransomwared overnight just for entertaining this tomfoolery.
[American Greatness via ZH] The American public still doesn’t know exactly what happened on January 6—and it’s clear the government will use any means necessary to keep it that way.
Joe Biden calls it the worst attack since the Civil War. Attorney General Merrick Garland compares it to the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. The FBI is breaking down the doors of Iraq War veterans and small business owners who have no criminal records, and some are hauled off to rot in solitary confinement in a fetid D.C. jail, for their involvement in the alleged travesty.
The event, of course, is the roughly four-hour-long disturbance at the U.S. Capitol on January 6. As mostly nonviolent Americans dared to protest Congress’ certification of a clearly fraudulent presidential election in a place that once was considered "The People’s House," lawmakers scurried for cover as reporters and photographers captured part of the ruckus on video and still shots to wield as political ammunition against Donald Trump and his supporters.

If you need the excuse to suppress the political opposition and reaction that comes from the next electoral theft, you must perpetuate the myth that its linked to the White Supremacist movement that threatened our very existence on Jan 6th. This is more theater of the absurd for the Twitterverse and Farcebook morons.

They just charged a Marine Major who was at the capital on January 6. This is not going to end well for the government. The next response will be just as spontaneous as January 6 and worse for them because the corrupt government keeps on keeping on being corrupt.
[Red State] I specifically remember how I felt the morning after Trump won the White House in 2016. While I had not supported Trump in 2016, there was a bit of a sense of relief that, by some miracle, Hillary Clinton was not going to be President. While I had my reservations regarding Trump that had caused me to not support him in 2016, the disaster that would have been a Hillary Clinton Presidency, was avoided. It wasn’t long before I felt more comfortable with Trump’s Presidency as he rolled back regulations, lowered taxes, and set the economy loose to climb to levels the Democrats had said was impossible.
I would imagine that is how our Democrat counterparts felt the morning after the 2020 Election. While many of the Progressives were uneasy about Biden’s Presidency, they were certainly glad that Trump had been defeated (yes, I am aware of the irregularities). The Democrats were in the driver’s seat to enforce whatever plans they wanted. The Democrats were free to reverse all of those evil Trump policies and push a sweeping progressive agenda that would bring peace, prosperity, and equality to America, right?
I could imagine that the left’s thinking has been going a little something like this:
At the very least, Biden’s Presidency will finally reverse the crisis at our Southern Border. We all know that those open border policies and ordering a halt to the building of the wall will solve that problem. Biden would never build any portion of that wall. Anyone knows that the entirety of the problems that exist at the border began January 20th, 2017, and there was never a problem at the border before that. We all know that Trump was keeping kids in cages. Biden fixed those issues, right?
So he didn’t get it done at the border, but we are still glad we’ve solved the problem with the racial divide that had plagued our country for the last four years. That too, started when Trump took office and has definitely not been a problem in our country’s history. All of the rioting and looting was in reaction to Trump’s racist policies that led to increased opportunities for Black-owned small businesses and the lowest Black unemployment rate ever. Biden’s Administration certainly stepped up there! Wait, he didn’t?

Plugs has been a disaster on every front with the possible exception of the vaccine -- which of course was created in record time thanks to Trump.
The Leftists are delighted with Plugs because his puppet masters have pushed through the most ridiculous bloated porkfest budget in history.

[PJ] On Tuesday, 124 retired military leaders released an open letter warning about key threats to America, from China to the border crisis to the ideologies undermining American freedoms. They also proved willing to address a major elephant in the room: President Joe Biden’s mental capacity and how Democrats’ concerns about nuclear codes undermine the chain of command.
"Our Nation is in deep peril. We are in a fight for our survival as a Constitutional Republic like no other time since our founding in 1776. The conflict is between supporters of Socialism and Marxism vs. supporters of Constitutional freedom and liberty," the retired generals and admirals wrote in the open letter, published by Flag Officers 4 America.
The former military brass addressed many issues, but perhaps the most salient concern they raised involved the chain of command.
"The mental and physical condition of the Commander in Chief cannot be ignored," the retired admirals and generals wrote. "He must be able to quickly make accurate national security decisions involving life and limb anywhere, day or night. Recent Democrat leadership’s inquiries about nuclear code procedures sends a dangerous national security signal to nuclear armed adversaries, raising the question about who is in charge. We must always have an unquestionable chain of command."
In February, more than 30 House Democrats signed a letter urging Biden to consider alternatives to "vesting one person" with the authority to launch a nuclear attack. The Democrats did not raise concerns about Biden’s mental health in their letter, but his many gaffes have raised those concerns. Even discounting mental health concerns, the Democrats’ letter raised questions about the chain of command and about the president’s ability to make the split decisions that are necessary to counter international threats.
#1
The letter is exactly right. We are indeed in deep peril as a nation.
Our border is collapsing.
Our economy and our currency will collapse if we cannot reverse this insane level of BS and pork spending -- none of it on infrastructure btw -- amounting to about 30% of our entire GNP.
Our elections are a joke.
And our president is a corrupt and demented puppet whose depraved, drug addict son is compromised by his family's Chinese military and spy agency business partners.
[Breitbart] Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm admitted during a press briefing on the Colonial Pipeline cyberattack Tuesday the best way to transport fuel across parts of the country is pipelines, despite the fact that the Biden administration has revoked pipeline permits, including Keystone XL.
Amid the ongoing fuel shortage throughout the East Coast from the cyberattack, Granholm said "pipe is the best way to go" when transporting fuel, contradicting President Joe Biden’s first day in office on which he revoked the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline.
"What is the feasibility of using rail cars to transport fuel into the affected areas?" a reporter asked, adding, "I know that’s being looked at."
Granholm admitted, "pipe is the best way to go," but "we’ll have to wait until their analysis is done" from the Department of Transportation (DOT), which is looking into other options.
We had the greatest gift anyone could have provided this country: energy independence, with his knows how many hundreds of thousands of high paying jobs. The senile corrupt buffoon, Pres. Asterisk, and his crew of Sh!theads have thrown it alll way.
She'll get the memo about offending lesbìans soon.
I cannot believe they're just morons. From law enforcement to diplomacy and industry to hard won economic stability, they seem to be dismantling everything quite purposely.

Sec. Granholm meant to say existing pipelines are the way to go. Until they wear out or break down, by which time solar-cell covered electric cars will have taken over.

Good old Warren...a crony capitalist of the nth degree (Elon is catching up and will assume the mantle some day).
[AMGREATNESS] In reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... , there were 2,240 shootings and 440 homicides from January through July 2020. The numbers are way up again in 2021. Back in 2015, Chicago’s homicide rate had already risen to 18.6 per 100,000. By 2016, Chicago had recorded more homicides and shooting victims than New York City and Los Angeles combined. Chicago’s biggest criminal justice challenges have changed little over the last 50 years, and statistically reside with homicide, armed robbery, gang violence, and aggravated battery. Chicago is considered one of the most gang-infested cities in the United States, with an estimated population of over 100,000 active members from nearly 60 different factions. Gang warfare and retaliation are quite common in Chicago. It is estimated that gangs are responsible for 60 percent of the homicides in Chicago.
One thing stands out—almost every shooter and homicide victim (97.7 percent) are black. But Black Lives Matter and Chicago’s Democratic politicians continue to blame "police and systemic racism."
Yet:
The mayor is black.
The superintendent of police is black.
The Cook County state’s attorney is black.
The chief judge of Cook County circuit courts is black.
The Illinois attorney general is black.
The fire department commissioner is black.
The Cook County board president is black.
The state senate majority leader is black.
The lieutenant governor is black.
The secretary of state is black.
The clerk of the circuit court of Cook County is black.
The Cook County clerk is black.
The city treasurer is black.
The Chicago Police Board president is black.
The Chicago Transit Authority president is black.
The CEO of Chicago public schools is black.
The commissioner of the Department of Water Management is black.
Forty percent of the City Council belongs to the black caucus. Nine aldermen are socialists.
Their average pay is $122,304 annually each, plus $122,000 per year in expenses. Their pension for life is 80 percent of final pay.
There are zero Republicans on the Chicago City Council.
William Hale Thompson was the last Republican mayor of Chicago long ago, in 1931.
For 89 years, Democrats have completely controlled the mayor’s office.
The fiscal deficit in Chicago is more than $838.2 million and counting.
Can someone please explain how it’s possible for Republicans—Donald Trump in particular, or white people in general—to be responsible for Chicago’s horrendously dismal and unsafe conditions?

Asking for a friend. If USA's race policies were run by a secret cabal of white racists - what would they be doing differently?
Anyone want to party like it's 1979? Okay, at least in 1979 we weren't locked down, masked up, and socially distanced. But other than that, there wasn't much to celebrate. The economy was in the tank, inflation was rampant, gas lines were long, daubers were down, and no one in the White House knew what to do about any of it. A new term had to be coined for something thought impossible/oxymoronic..."stagflation." Yes, even as the economy was slowing down, inflation was rampant, an unprecedented pairing of economic indicators.
And today? The economy is in the tank, inflation is rampant, gas lines are getting long in some areas, daubers are down, and no one in the White House knows what to do about any of it. It may be worse than that. It may be possible that no one in the White House wants to do anything about any of it because it is part of the plan, the Great Reset, the elite's desire to take the U.S. down a peg while/by reducing greenhouse gases — and increasing intersectionality, multiculturalism, Critical Race Theory, and other noxious forms of political correctness.

[AMGREATNESS] Land of the free, home of the brave."
"The Constitution ensures Americans receive due process."
"Equal justice under the law is a hallmark of the American justice system."
"We have a government restrained by checks and balances."
"They hate us for our freedoms."
"If I put my tooth under my pillow, the tooth fairy will come and exchange it for a dollar bill."
By now most Americans, minus perpetually ignorant boomers and five-year-olds, know the above statements are fairy tales. Not necessarily on the level of Grimm’s scary nightmare tales, more like big white lies and obsolete constructs repeated in unison by propagandists in order to make us feel good so we don’t ask too many questions.
In the information security business, there is a saying that security by obscurity is no security at all—meaning hiding from hackers is not a winning security strategy. The parallel to this in politics is anonymity is freedom. In other words, I am free as long as the tyrant doesn’t know I exist.
The reality, however, is one can never get small enough or anonymous enough to be free from evil when evil rules the land. Freedom through anonymity is not real freedom—it’s merely an illusion. Illusions are the bread and butter of the tyrant—for if the masses knew the truth they would be ungovernable and the tyrant’s life would be, in Hobbesian terms, a nasty, brutish, and short affair. Because of this, the tyrant strives to keep the necessary illusions alive in the minds of the common people. One of the biggest illusions traditional America clings to right now is that it still retains constitutional rights recognized and respected by its government in Washington, D.C.

[NYPOST] Unless New York has completely lost its mind, the shooting in Times Square that maimed three innocent bystanders, including a 4-year-old girl, will galvanize the mayoral race.
The candidates, realizing the terrifying incident is going global because of the location, already are sharpening their language and promising more public safety. Even Mayor Putz, after denying the Saturday gunplay would hurt tourism, ordered a beefed-up police presence.
Those are encouraging signs, but they will not be enough to make the incident a lasting turning point. For that to happen, all New Yorkers must make their voices heard and turn up the heat on City Hall.
If voters say "Enough!" and show they’re mad as hell over the rising tide of crime and violence, then and only then will tough action follow the tough words. Otherwise, de Blasio and the candidates will soon give their attention to another shiny object.
After all, remnants of the "defund the police" movement are still pressuring the mayor, city council and prosecutors to further handcuff cops and coddle criminals. If they succeed, the city would be doomed to further crime and decline. We can’t let that happen. Everyone who cares about New York needs to grasp the significance of how far the city has fallen so far and how close it is coming to a tipping point of reverting to the worst days of the early 1990s. Saturday’s shooting, which grew out of a dispute among several men on Broadway, was an aberration only in its location. The rapid increase in violence and gunfire over the last two years has left no safe hiding place in the five boroughs.
For a snapshot of the cancerous mayhem, consider the opening of an official NYPD summary of April crime.
"Overall index crime in New York City rose 30.4% compared with April 2020, driven by a 66% increase in grand larceny (2,659 v. 1,601) and a 35.6% increase in felony assault (1,630 v. 1,202)," the report says. "Robbery saw a 28.6% increase compared to April 2020 (885 v. 688), and shooting incidents increased to 149 v. 56 in April 2020 (+166.1%)."
The report noted that only burglary had declined. Meanwhile, ...back at the palazzo, Count Guido stepped from behind the suit of armor, rapier in hand. Ciccolini snarled and reached for his own weapon... murder is up 17 percent this year, and 32 percent over 2019. There’s nothing normal about those gigantic leaps — shooting incidents up 166 percent! If this isn’t an emergency, what would be?

[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] It is rare for Iranian evil in our region to be mentioned in the West, whether in the media, research or politically, without the term "proxy war" between Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... and Saudi Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Fifteen of the nineteen WTC hijackers were Saudis, and most major jihadi commanders were, to inclid Osama bin Laden. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman quietly folded that tent in 2016, doing terrible things to the guys running it, and has since been dragging the kingdom into the current century... But the question that has never been raised in a practical way on these levels is: Where is this proxy war? What are the Saudi militias? And where are the militias of Arab moderation? Or the camp against the Iranian evil? Let us enumerate, dear reader, the armed militias affiliated with Iran, both Sunni and Shiite.
