Biden Blames Inflation on Putin: “I’m Sick of This
Stuff! Americans Think the Reason For Inflation is
Government Spending More Money, Simply Not True!

Joe Biden on Friday blamed high inflation rates on Vladimir Putin in remarks at the House Democrat Caucus Conference at the Hilton Philadelphia at Penn’s Landing.

This from thegatewaypundit.com

🙶 Democrats didn’t cause this problem. Vladimir Putin did,” said Biden. “Make no mistake, inflation is largely the fault of Putin.”

Biden insisted spending more than $6 trillion on his American Rescue Plan and other Covid funding with money printing “didn’t cause inflation.”

🙶 I’m sick of this stuff! The American people think the reason for inflation is government spending more money. Simply not true!” Biden shouted.

Video:

Joe Biden also lashed out at oil company executives on Friday and blamed soaring gas prices on their greed.

So far Biden has blamed record gas prices and high inflation rates on:

Vladimir Putin
Covid
Wall Street bankers
Oil executives


Aside from his friends in Congress and media, the majority of folks are extremely sick of Biden and his lies. Many of us have watched him talk and creep across the Capital floor, playing to a camera and microphone whenever available and saying little of substance for so long.

During his 45 years as a career politician Biden has never actually solved a problem that was beneficial to the voting public. Inflation started the moment he was placed by a fraudulent election in the White House. He shut down oil production in the U.S. and naturally our problems were out of control. The border crisis, Afghanistan, everything he or his administration touched was a disaster and has torn our country apart. Neither Putin nor Russia had anything to do with that.

Biden is an extremely bad liar and we know that cornered liars usually raise their voice. Obama has controlled his reins and now Biden who agreed with their plan, is receiving the blame and did not expect it would be this bad. His party is now looking for some plan to save them in the upcoming midterm elections.

As War Rages, Biden Has Weekend Plans

As Russian President Vladimir Putin continues his unrelenting assault on Ukrainian citizens, committing war crimes through the use of cluster bombs and attacking nuclear sites in the country, President Joe Biden is headed home to Delaware for the weekend.

The following from townhall.com.

🙶 In the evening, the President will travel to Wilmington, Delaware, where he will remain over the weekend," the White House daily schedule states.

Biden also went to Delaware last weekend for a family funeral. He has spent 35 weekends at home since taking office in January 2021.

Meanwhile, Congress is preparing an emergency package for Ukraine.

🙶 On the domestic front, inflation continues to rise, gas prices are set to hit records and the southern border is still completely overrun. Inflation isn't keeping up with wages, even as Americans receive raises. Lawmakers are looking for options through the Federal Reserve to ease the inflation burden on American families.




There is no question in my mind that Biden is receiving some sort of aggressive treatment on the weekends in Delaware, for his continuing dementia and overall longtime mental disabilities. That information is being illegally withheld from the public.

Joe's handlers probably would say that the treatments are working with astonishing success. They were behind the scenes during the 2020 campaign and saw what Joe is like when the treatments wear off.

His vice-president Harris was also chosen for the same reason as Joe, she is incapable of thinking for herself and may do as told, if and when she remembers to do it.

She is such a dynamic individual, that Biden is sending her to the European Union and Poland to help them negotiate the Ukraine/Russian war and to see the Humanitarian crisis. This woman is useless, at least for what she was appointed to do. Perhaps the fact that 99% of Democrats who preferred someone else when she was running for president, might have provided a clue that she was not the savior that her gender and skin color suggested she would be.

Kamala Harris is a walking failure, who bleeds staff and fosters a toxic work environment. She does not do the work and she does not read the briefings her staff prepares for her, so she usually looks like an idiot. She botched the talking points about the sanctions slapped against Russia in the aftermath of their invasion of Ukraine. And now, the White House wants to send her to Poland? Does she even know where that is on the map?

Kamala Harris just took dumbing down to a whole new level.

During an appearance on the syndicated “Morning Hustle” radio program, Harris was asked by co-host Headkrack to explain the conflict “in layman’s terms for people who don’t understand what’s going on and how can this directly affect the people of the United States?”

Speaking slowly, Harris began, “So, Ukraine is a country in Europe.”

“It exists next to another country called Russia,” she continued. “Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So, basically, that’s wrong, and it goes against everything that we stand for.”

'It's Disgusting -- It Is So Disgusting!':
Jim Jordan Rips Democrats In Defense Of Mark Meadows


On the House floor, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) slammed Democrats and the January 6th sham Committee. This is the absolute truth but too bad nothing can be done and they are getting away with it, again we see the Democrats true colors. They aren't even human, when they create their own morals and don’t believe in absolutes they can justify anything. Jim Jordan is appealing to their consciences, but I don't know if any of them have a conscience. When the government fears the people, liberty is there. How is it that these crooked politicians have no repercussion? I thought we the people held some power, but the Democrat Party is out of control.

This should concern anyone who thinks of themselves as a citizen of this great country be they on the left or the right. One day I hope many politicians meet real justice. Thank you Jim Jordan, for speaking the truth, too bad we no longer have a media that can provide the real news. Many of the American people are sick of these Democrat politicians who want to tear this country apart. The Biden Administration and party is totally out of their minds. We the people are watching and are fed up with this backward facing politics, we need real action on the many issues destroying America today... Afghanistan, border crisis, crime and political figures allowing encouraging unrest and violence.

Mike Huckabee Lays Out Dangers
Of Fauci Testifying Before Congress


Blog Author's Comments: Let's keep things in perspective and remember that Anthony Fauci is a Democrat who contributed to Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign and voted for her. The fact that Dr. Fauci has had a lifelong career in epidemiology does not make him infallible, only a bit more knowledgeable than the average doctor dealing with communicable diseases.

Also don't forget that some of the statements that Fauci has made have been found wanting in accuracy, and keep in mind, he helped to take down one of the greatest economies in the history of the U.S. by basing his comments on the 'models' he used, to make his many predictions. Fauci should not appear before Congress, he is part of the very big problem.

The Demacratic controlled House does not have the American public's interests in mind, they do not care about democracy anymore. They would not have done everything they have for the past almost four years, if they really cared. They want the power they lost when President Trump was elected, so they lie and misinform the people through their cohorts the leftist media. It is disturbing and appalling behavior from the people who are supposed to represent all of the people.

Mueller Agrees To Testify Before Congress
But What Can He Say That Isn't In His Report?


Some random Democrat you’ve never hear of, Rhode Island Representative David Cicilline (not to be confused with former Italian Ciccolina, though you could be forgiven the error), has announced that an agreement has been reached with Department of Justice to permit special counsel Robert Mueller to testify before Fat Jerry Nadler’s committee on May 15.

This promises to be high comedy.

It is difficult to see how Mueller can break any more of the basic ethical principles prosecutors are supposed to adhere to than he already has. But we can be sure, if the utter sh**show that was Bill Barr’s testimony before an infinitely more sane Senate Judiciary Committee is any guide, that Mueller will be under intense pressure to not only proclaim that there was “collusion” but that Trump “obstructed” what is looking to be an investigation which was knowingly launched based of false information and prosecuted merely out of a desire to damage the administration and let Andrew Weissmann engage in some sort of score-settling with Paul Manafort. He will also be under pressure to accuse Bill Barr of lying to Congress and deceiving the nation by releasing Mueller’s report, and that is exactly what he’s being accused of.

If Mueller doesn’t give them what they want, they will savage him. He has to know that. Sad to say, the odds of Mueller being up to the challenge of not shifting overtly into the role of partisan attack dog are not great.
(Via: RS )
Blog Author's Comments: I would guess that Attorney General Barr is not pleased with Mueller continuing his partisan unprofessionalism, which the democrats will facilitate by expanding on his "but there's this" opinions which should not have been part of any objective, professional report, other than the opinion he refused to offer about an obstruction charge.

He put his 'friend' AG Barr into the continuing harassment and witch hunting by the Democrat Party, only because Mueller and company could not publish a decision. So, the Attorney General did his job and is now having to face and fight with the crazed democrats, because he did not give them what they desperately wanted, and this is all they had. They put all their hope on the special counsel's report and are now completely out of their minds.

Senator Graham was right, there is but one question to ask Robert Mueller. "Was Barr's summary of your report objectively wrong and your letter to him said that or, you did not like the media coverage as he said?" If his answer is "no", then his whiny letter looks like what it was, him whining about Barr interfering with his report.

This entire mess, was intended to further divide us all and in that objective, it continues to perform. And remember, the Republicans on the committee will also be able to question Mueller.

Obstruction of justice works both ways, Mr. Mueller. You screwed over your friend, the Attorney General of the United States, and suggested the President of the United States committed crimes you know he did not. It would be hilarious if Mueller gets caught lying to Congress. And, it's already clear either he's lying or Barr is. I cannot imagine a universe in which Attorney General Barr lied.

Defense Secretary Mattis Shocked By Lack Of Military Readiness Of U.S.


NY Post -- Defense Secretary James Mattis said Monday he’s “shocked” by the decline in US military readiness and placed the blame squarely on Congress.

Mattis scolded lawmakers on Capitol Hill for failing to pass military budgets and for imposing automatic spending cuts known as sequestration that have caused “severe” damage.

“I retired from military service three months after sequestration took effect,” Mattis, a former Marine Corps general who retired in 2013, said. “Four years later, I’ve returned to the department and I have been shocked by what I’ve seen about our readiness to fight.”

Testifying before the House Armed Services Committee, Mattis told members of Congress they’ve caused “harm” by their lack of leadership.

“While nothing can compare to the heartache caused by the loss of our troops during these wars, no enemy in the field has done more to harm the combat readiness of our military than sequestration,” Mattis said. “We have only sustained our ability to meet America’s commitments abroad because our troops have stoically shouldered a much greater burden.”

Mattis is asking Congress to pass President Trump’s 2018 spending request of $639.1 billion, to end sequestration and to allow the military to appropriately plan by passing a budget on time.

Blog Author's Comments: Many people in Congress are simply apprehensive or afraid to take a stand and do what is right, because what is most important to them - their main concern - is to be reelected. Meanwhile the men and women in our military are risking their lives to defend and carry out the policies set by Congress. Eight years of Obama and not enough pushback by the members of the Republican Congress have left us in a very disturbing position. And who would know better what America needs militarily, than former retired Marine General and DEFSEC James Mattis?

Defense Secretary Mattis now knows what our military situation is and clearly sees what has happened and what needs to be accomplished. During Obama's time in office the Republicans were too busy trying to evaluate how to look like they were the opposition party while giving Obama almost everything he wanted. And we also cannot forget about the $1.7 billion that Obama gave Iran. We could have used it to spend on our defense instead of theirs. We dodged a serious bullet when President Trump defeated Hillary Clinton. And we continue to learn just how very serious that bullet was every day.

At this point in time, the major reason the GOP is apparently not ready with at least, basic plans of their own to not only expand and strengthen the military, but have a healthcare plan to replace the Affordable Care Act and other major items that are on Trump's agenda, is because they were sure Clinton would win the presidency, and the Republican members of Congress could coast and pretend to fight back against the Democrats.

If Hillary had been able to nominate Supreme Court Justices it would have set the country back at least a generation and perhaps forever. So, now is the time for the Republican members of Congress to work together and move the legislation to President Trump's desk so that he can sign it into law. There is so much that needs to happen prior to the 2018 mid-term elections and the presidential election of 2020, if the Republicans are serious about maintaining control of the government and doing what is right for the country.

Obama To Seek Congressional Backing For Syria Strike


Wall Street Journal -- WASHINGTON—President Barack Obama said Saturday he is prepared to take military action if necessary against Syria for the alleged use of chemical weapons against its own people, but said he will seek authorization from Congress before moving forward.

"This menace must be confronted," Mr. Obama vowed in an address from the White House Rose Garden, arguing for using force to punish the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Not acting, he said, "risks making a mockery of the global prohibition on the use of chemical weapons."

"I'm ready to act in the face of this outrage. Today I am asking Congress to send a message to the world that we are ready to move forward together as one nation," Mr. Obama said.

The president has faced criticism on the political left and right, with some lawmakers arguing against a military response and others demanding more information about any U.S. mission in advance of a presidential order. House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio), in particular, had pushed Mr. Obama to consult with Congress about his plans for military action.

Mr. Obama said he's talked with leaders in Congress and they've agreed to schedule a debate on using force as soon as they return from their August recess on Sept. 9, though lawmakers could be called back earlier.

The president said the effectiveness of any U.S. military strike, which he vowed would be limited, is "not time sensitive."

"It could be effective tomorrow, or next week or one month from now," Mr. Obama said. He said he is aware that the United Nations and some countries may not agree with his decision. He said he's prepared to go forward without their approval.

Entire column...

Blog author's comments - Barack Obama should stay out of Syria period! Whatever he does now is only for show. He is stalling but he feels he has to do something. He said he would punish the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for supposedly using chemical weapons against the rebel forces who are attempting to oust him. Obama said he would take action without Congressional approval. Now he is asking for the okay from Congress so if he creates a mess for the United States he can place much of the blame on Congress.

Most of us should know...except for the low-information people...just how swell things have turned out when he pushed to remove the dictators in Egypt and Libya. In Egypt the Muslim Brotherhood took control of the country and Mohamed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood was elected president. Now the Egyptian people and army have removed president Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood is fighting to regain control, and the country is in chaos.

In Libya al-Qaeda was behind the attack on the American Embassy in Benghazi in which the American Ambassador and three other Americans were murdered. Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton did nothing to help those who died. The Obama administration has put this behind them and those responsible for the attack and murders have never been brought to justice. Obama referred to the murdered Americans in Libya as 'bumps in the road.'

Obama waited too long if he intended to do anything in Syria. He should leave it alone because he could very well create much bigger problems than now currently exist within the Middle-East. Obama also thought he would have the help and support of the UK but the British parliament voted that down. I repeat, stay out of Syria, nothing good can come from whatever Obama does there.

Michelle - 'Barack Has Done Phenomenal Job Working Around Congress'


Breitbart -- MICHELLE OBAMA ON The TOM JOYNER MORNING SHOW: Well, we’re understanding that, you know, you can have a president you love, but if you don’t have a congress that’s willing to work, you know, you wind up stalled in so many ways. And I think that Barack has done a phenomenal job working around a congress that has never been willing to help move the country forward on so many different issues.

But I think he’s done everything humanly possible to get things passed around the margins. But, you know, just imagine where this country will be when we have Barack Obama as President and we have a congress that’s ready to work hand-in-hand, and willing to compromise to make sure that this country moves forward for everyone.

Blog author's comments - Mrs. Obama apparently was too busy vacationing to notice the president had both the House and Senate for two years. And they did exactly what he wanted. It finally dawned on the voters what was happening and after the mid-term election he no longer had the House, which helped to control some of his spending. But the damage he did his first two years was already done.

What has got to happen now is for the voters to do even more with the November election and remove the Obama family from the White House. We will never recover if Barack Obama is re-elected. I am not only concerned about the presidency, but also maintaining the House and taking control of the Senate.

We have the worst president in my lifetime and probably in the history of the country. We have an economy falling apart. We have a foreign policy falling apart. What more are the people waiting for? Remove Obama from office, he has been a total failure for America.

Obama To Use 'Executive Action' - Bypass Congress


Obama says he'll be taking 'executive actions' without
Congress on 'regular basis' to 'heal the economy'

Daily Caller - President Barack Obama told an audience in Nevada on Monday that he will be regularly announcing “executive actions” his administration will take to “heal the economy” without the
“dysfunctional” Congress.

“I’m here to say to all of you and to say to the people of Nevada and the people of Las Vegas, we can’t wait for an increasingly dysfunctional Congress to do its job. Where they won’t act, I will,” Obama said.

“I’ve told my administration to keep looking every single day for actions we can take without Congress, steps that can save consumers money, make government more efficient and responsive, and help heal the economy. And we’re going to be announcing these executive actions on a regular basis,” the president said
.
Keep reading...

Blog author's comments - If a Republican President said exactly the same thing, the media and the usual liberals we hear from would be hysterical. But since it’s the 'constitutional scholar' it's okay with them.

I do hope that many more of our citizens are beginning to realize what Obama is and what he wants to do to America. He must be removed from office in 2012.

No U.S. President has ever gotten the free ride from the MSM this President has. Oh yes, it’s all the fault of Congress. The fact that we have an incompetent man in the White House has nothing to do with the problems the country now faces.

All that has transpired since he announced his plan for the 'American Jobs Act' is a tactic which he hopes will get him re-elected. Obama cares about one job...his own.

Obama - Senate Republicans Obstruct Jobs Act

The Presidents Weekly Address



Blog author's comments - It would be interesting to see how many weeks have gone by without Obama placing blame on the GOP.

During his Weekly Address Obama said, "It was so disappointing to see Senate Republicans obstruct the American Jobs Act, even though a majority of Senators voted “yes” to advance this jobs bill."

Obama needed something to run on while campaigning for the election of 2012. He obviously cannot run on his record of high unemployment, bad economy, terrible housing market, out of control spending etc.

He knew when he presented his bad piece of legislation that it would go down to defeat. He was counting on it. Even some of the Democrat Senators voted against it.

Obama would have been shocked if both houses of Congress had passed his bill. He needs the GOP to blame for his failure on job creation. He believes this bill is his key to a second term in office and it will be his main focal point while campaigning for the election of 2012.

Obama: If You Love Me Help Pass My Jobs Bill



Obama: If you love me, ask Congress to pass my jobs bill

CBS News - President Obama continued pushing his jobs bill in battleground states on Wednesday, telling a fired-up crowd of students at North Carolina State University that, "If you love me, you've got to help me pass this bill!"

Mr. Obama, speaking to a crowd of more than 9,000 people in an unairconditioned auditorium, reiterated the main points of his recently-unveiled American Jobs Act, and urged students to help him get it passed through Congress.

"For those of you who did skip class today, I've got a homework assignment for you," he said, "tell your Congress person that the time for gridlock and games is over; the time for action is now."

The president touted a series of proposals in the bill that he said would help America "get back to a place where we're creating good, middle-class jobs again."

"Jobs that pay well; jobs that offer some security... I know that's what the students are thinking about," he said. "And we can do that if we can finally get Washington to act. If we can get folks to stop worrying so much about their jobs and start worrying a little more about your jobs."

"We know what's right: We know what we've got to do to create jobs right now," he continued, to enthusiastic applause, "We've got to give workers new skills for new jobs."- Continue reading...

Blog author's comments - Obama, if you cared for the people you would resign. You are in way over your head. After listening to the video, this has to be one of the most pathetic things said by an American president.

Obama also said - "If we can get folks to stop worrying so much about their jobs and start worrying a little more about your jobs." To that I must say he appears to be desperately worried about his own job.

The only way the economy will begin to turn around, jobs created and the unemployment numbers drop is when Obama is unemployed and living somewhere other than the White House.

To save our country he has to be removed from office in 2012.

Obama Blames Congress For Debt

Obama Blames Congress For the Record Debt He Created


Barack Obama increased the national debt by over $3 trillion in just over 2 years.



Blog author's comments - This shows the type of person our country has as president. He can stand there and lie to us knowing full well that we have been watching what he has done for over two years.

It is difficult to believe that anyone besides his hard core base is dumb enough to believe him. They will swallow everything he says.

The Democratically controlled congress did allow his spending. No matter what Obama wanted the Reid/Pelosi gang put it into law. Our only salvation is to remove him from office in 2012.

Israeli Prime Minister Addresses Congress


Israeli Prime Minister Gets 29 Standing Ovations
in Congress, Sends Message to White House

abc news - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech before a joint meeting of Congress had all trappings of a State of the Union address by a president with sky-high approval ratings.

Speaking to a packed House chamber with Speaker Boehner and Vice President Biden over his shoulders, Netanyahu was repeatedly interrupted by applause – including more than 20 standing ovations.

One of his biggest applause lines was aimed directly at President Obama.

“Israel will not return to the indefensible boundaries of 1967,” Netanyahu said, prompting a big standing ovation.

Later he added: “Israel on the 1967 lines would be only 9 miles wide. So much for defensible borders.”

Nevertheless, Netanyahu's speech – and the thunderous bi-partisan response – was a clear challenge to the idea of using the 1967 boundaries – with or without “swaps” -- as a basis for a peace deal.

Netanyahu also got big ovations with hard-line statements on two other perennial sticking points to Israeli-Palestinian peace agreements: No right of return for Palestinian refugees, insisted, and “Jerusalem will never again be divided."

Netanyahu arguably got an warmer reception than President Obama received during his state of the union.

Quotes from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speech:

–”Time for Abbas to say I will accept a Jewish state.”

–”Israel will not return to the indefensible boundaries of 67."

–”The Palestinian refugee problem will be resolved outside the borders of Israel.”

–”Jerusalem must remain the united capital of Israel.”

–”Vital that Israel maintains a long term military presence along Jordan River.”

–”Peace cannot be imposed, it must be negotiated.”

–”Hamas leader condemned the killing of Osama Bin-Laden.”

–”To Abbas, tear up your pact with Hamas, and make peace with the Jewish state.”

Watch Entire Benjamin Netanyahu Speech
(Over 45 minutes in length)

This is a topic dominating so much of the news these days. This video is very informative regading Israel's ability to defend itself.

The Facts About Israel's Borders In Five Minutes



Blog author's comments - Just a thought - how about the Republican Party finding a birth certificate for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, possibly in Hawaii, and giving him the nomination for the election in 2012. This of course is wishful thinking. He delivered a very refreshing speech, clear and straight to the point.

Just another example of how this country is starving for someone of character, who stands up for his convictions and doesn’t mince words. Were I President, I would have been certain to have stayed for this speech and been in the audience instead of running away.

Benjamin Netanyahu is a real leader. He has a known past. He speaks from real experiences and has been in real battles. What a contrast when compared to Barack Obama.

Israel is not what’s wrong with the Middle East. Attempting to push and scold our ally can only provide strength to anti-Israel terrorists who have and will continue to block any hope of peace.

Nancy Pelosi - Least Liked Congressional Leader

Congressional Favorability Ratings

Speaker of the House - Nancy Pelosi, Remains Least Liked Congressional Leader

34% favorable, 59% unfavorable

Rasmussenreports.com
With less than six weeks to go until Election Day, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi remains the most unpopular of the four top congressional leaders as she has been since this session of Congress began early last year. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is a close second.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 59% of Likely U.S. Voters have an unfavorable opinion of Pelosi, including 47% who view the San Francisco Democrat Very Unfavorably. Thirty-four percent (34%) regard Pelosi favorably, with 12% Very Favorable toward her. Only seven percent (7%) have no opinion of the speaker.

Since February of last year, Pelosi’s favorables have ranged from a low of 28% to a high of 43% in April just after passage of the national health care bill. Her unfavorables have run from 52% to 64%.

Reid, who is struggling for reelection in Nevada, is seen favorably by 30% and unfavorably by 50%. This includes Very Favorables of six percent (6%) and Very Unfavorables of 33%.- Read more
When Nancy Pelosi came to power, she promised that the Democrats will have "most honest and most ethical congress in history."




Blog author's comments - Nancy Pelosi: Your approval rating, according to the Rasmussen poll, does not surprise me. Anyone who has followed your career, especially during the last four years, should understand why your rating is so low. You should not be a member of Congress.

The midterms don't look so good for your fellow Democrats. I have heard the party leadership has determined that this is just a simple problem of those running for office mis-communicating with the voters. The leadership has concluded that faulty messaging is the problem. They believe that just a few simple changes in the candidates message is all that is needed.

Here are their simple tips for re-election:

1. Avoid talking about your legislative accomplishments.
2. Avoid talking about party leadership.
3. It’s about the minority (other) party, not about you.
4. Winning Message : No matter how bad things are, things could always be worse.
5. Winning Message : The best things always cost more (make Health Reform a winner).
6. Winning Message : Tax cuts for the rich hurts you.
7. Winning Message : Bush never really left office, he is still running things.
8. A timeless winner for every election: Accuse the other party of racism.

Nancy Pelosi, I really hope to see you pass your gavel to a member of the Republican Party in January.
