Dire Straits - Industrial Disease

Stagflation of the Jimmy Carter variety is back, courtesy of the economic malfeasance of Joe Biden and his Democrats. 

This sad development has gotten me thinking of that first round of stagflation. Here are Dire Straits from 1982 with "Industrial Disease."

Biden suffers ANOTHER autocue gaffe struggling to say 'kleptocracy' in Ukraine address

If Joe Biden was your elderly father, you'd be looking for an assisted-living home for him by now. Watch as Biden struggles, repeatedly, with the word "kleptocracy."

But Biden, unless you are Hunter Biden and you are reading this post, in not your father. 

He's the president.

 

Tucker on Biden's Ministry of Truth: This is the point where we have to draw the line

America's march to leftist authoritarianism--I am not exaggerating--continues, with the Department of Homeland Security creating a Disinformation Governance Board.

This is something dictatorships do. 

Joe Biden's choice to head the Orwellian "Ministry of Truth" is Nina Jankowicz, who dismissed the legitimacy of the Hunter Biden laptop story two years ago.

Tucker Carlson justifiably eviscerates the Ministry of Truth.     

Stagflation is here: Economy declined first quarter of 2022

Joe Biden has never been the most cerebral of persons, but still, to be a successful president, you would think that he would not want to repeat one of the failures of the Jimmy Carter presidency. That is, bringing back simultaneous inflation and economic contraction, better known as stagflation. 

But he's doing just that.

From CNBC:

Gross domestic product unexpectedly declined at a 1.4% annualized pace in the first quarter, marking an abrupt reversal for an economy coming off its best performance since 1984, the Commerce Department reported Thursday.

The negative growth rate missed even the subdued Dow Jones estimate of a 1% gain for the quarter. GDP measures the output of goods and services in the U.S. for the three-month period.

A plethora of factors conspired to weigh against growth during the first three months of 2022, which fell off a cliff following the 6.9% gain to close out last year.

Look for Jen Psaki and her ilk to blame, again, Vladimir Putin for this downward turn.

MSNBC's Ari Melber worries Twitter could now 'ban one party's candidate,' doesn't see irony

I know I am a couple of days late on this one, but some guy named Ari Melber, who I never heard of until this week, emitted this hilarious comment on his show in regard to Elon Musk's bid, which has been accepted, to buy Twitter. 

"You could secretly ban one party’s candidate," Melber said, "secretly turn down the reach of their stuff and turn up the reach of something else and the rest of us might not even find out about it until AFTER the election." 

You mean, Ari, like social networks and the mainstream media did to the Hunter Biden laptop story?

24 reasons why the idea of Biden 2024 is 'absurd and offensive' to America: Steve Hilton

Six killed and at least 37 others wounded over weekend in Chicago

Warmer temperatures, sadly, mean more shootings. Earlier this year Chicago Police brass were patting themselves on the back about a decline in violence. But this past weekend, after snow on Monday, was quite warm.

Over the weekend six people were shot to death and at least 37 others were wounded in Chicago. Two of the slain were killed in a mass shooting, which wounded two others, in West Englewood on the South Side.

The Everly Brothers - Bowling Green

The Everly Brothers' last hit of the 1960s was "Bowling Green," which was released in 1967. 

The studio version is done in a baroque pop style, think Mamas and the Papas with a dash of the Beatles. 

Here the Everlys adapt "Bowling Green" for a live performance by replacing the woodwinds with whistling.

Enjoy and whistle along!

Mark Dice: Brian Stelter humiliated by college freshman during visit to University of Chicago

CNN's laughable propagandist, Brian Stelter, was put in his place by a college freshman at a University of Chicago conference absurdly named, "Disinformation and the Erosion of Democracy."

CNN, with Stelter at the forefront, has been a leader in disinformation. Its sins include peddling the Trump-Russia collusion hoax, the smearing of Nicholas Sandmann, and suppressing the scandal surrounding the Hunter Biden laptop.

Dem Rep Schakowsky waffles when asked if she was one of 26 Democrats who voted to ban fracking

One reason why you see leftists, with occasional exceptions, appearing only on friendly networks such as MSNBC and CNN, is that they aren't asked tough questions. 

Nominally I am represented by Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) in Congress. 

Until the arrival of the Squad, Schakowsky was possibly the most liberal member in the House. 

Watch and laugh as Schakowsky squirms as she blames oil companies for not producing enough petroleum--then refuses to answer if she was one of the 26 Dems who voted to ban fracking. 

She was one of them.

Biden looks LOST as his staff fawn over Obama leaving him standing alone at the White House

Barack Obama visited the White House yesterday for the first time since he left office. 

Watch as Joe Biden's staff fawns over Obama while the current president stands alone, as if he's one of the "uncool" kids at a high school dance. 

Even Biden's staffers don't like him.

1 dead and at least 17 wounded over weekend in Chicago

Over the first weekend of April 2022 one person was shot to death and at least 17 others were wounded. 

The fatality was in the Logan Square neighborhood, a man was shot dead during an argument on a sidewalk. Logan Square of course is where Mayor Lori Lightfoot lives, and last week the extent of the large police detail--over 70 officers--became public. 

Among the wounded were two people shot in a hostage situation at the Ford City Mall on the Southwest Side. Police fatally shot the man holding those hostages.
