‘Malarkey’: Joe Biden Snaps at Claim He Is Not Focused on Inflation
President Joe Biden reacted sharply to Republican claims on Friday he was failing the American people by not addressing inflation.
“Now I hear Republicans today say that my talking about this strong record says I don’t understand a lot of people are still suffering. Well, they are. Or that I’m not focused on inflation,” he said. “Malarkey.”
Biden delivered a speech on the economy at the White House after a disappointing number of jobs were created in the month of December.
He accused Republicans of focusing on inflation because they refused to vote for his multitrillion-dollar spending bills that fanned the flames of inflation.
“They want to talk down the recovery because they voted against the legislation that made it happen,” he grumbled.
Wage gains weakened in December despite Biden’s repeated claim that higher wages help reduce the cost of inflation on American families.
Biden focused on the 3.9 percent unemployment rate in December, claiming “historic” progress.
“Today America is the only leading economy in the world where the economy as a whole is stronger than before the pandemic,” he said.
The president also claimed that he helped save Christmas by working to address port congestion and supply chain disruptions.

“The Grinch did not steal Christmas,” he said emphatically. “Nor any votes.”
He also addressed criticism that four million Americans quit their jobs in November.
“Americans are moving up to better jobs with better pay and better benefits,” he claimed, pointing to more job opportunities in the American economy.
Biden argued that more spending was needed to continue the economic recovery, demanding that the Senate move forward on his Build Back Better legislation that has stalled.
“We can do all this. We can do it without increasing inflation and without increasing the deficit,” he said.
Nolte: Joe Biden’s Economic Disapproval Rating Hits Record Low of Last Three Presidents
A full 55 percent rate His Fraudulency Joe Biden as “poor” for his (mis)handling of the economy. This is lower than our two most recent former presidents — Donald Trump and Barry Obama — polled at any time during their respective presidencies.
Biden has also hit a three-president low in his (mis)handling of national security issues. Currently, 50 percent of those polled rate him as “poor.”
From Rasmussen:
In fact, Biden’s economic and national security ratings are worse than the lowest ratings of either of his two immediate predecessors. Former President Donald Trump’s lowest ratings for his handling of both the economy (44% poor) and national security (47% poor) were in July 2017. Former President Barack Obama’s worst rating on the economy was 51% poor in August 2011 while Obama’s lowest rating on national security was 47% poor in January 2016.
The full numbers are even more startling…
On the economy, a full 66 percent of Americans rate Biden as “poor” (55 percent) or “fair” (11 percent). Meanwhile, only 32 percent rate him as “excellent” (18 percent) or “good” (14 percent).
Previously, in this poll, Biden’s worst economic rating was a 51 percent “poor” rating.
On national security, a clear majority of 62 percent rate Biden as “poor” (50 percent) or “fair” (12 percent), while only 34 percent rate His Fraudulency as “excellent” (17 percent) or “good” (17 percent).
That 34 percent rating on national security is Biden’s lowest since he allegedly won the election. The previous low was 38 percent back in August when he so horribly botched the withdrawal from Afghanistan. So it makes sense that this number would be even lower today. Despite the fake news media’s best efforts, people haven’t forgotten that there are still Americans held hostage by the Taliban.
More than anything, what should trouble the White House is where Biden stands with “unaffiliated,” or Independent voters. A clear majority of 58 percent of Independents rate Biden’s handling of national security as “poor.” An even high number of Independents, 63 percent, say the same about the economy.
If you add up the “fair” and “poor” column with Independent voters, on the economy, Biden sits at 74 percent disapproval. On national security, his disapproval rating is 71 percent.
On the economy, Biden is even underwater with black voters. A plurality of 47 percent of black Americans rate Biden’s handling of the economy as “poor” (31 percent) to “fair” (16 percent), while only 46 percent rate him as “excellent (29 percent) to “good” (17 percent).
Black voters used to be the Democrat party’s most loyal base. That is no longer the case.
These numbers are very much in line with what we’re seeing from other pollsters.
Currently, in the RealClearPolitics poll of polls, Biden is underwater on the economy by 15 points. Only 40 percent approve of the job he’s doing, while 55 percent disapprove.
On national security (or foreign policy), Biden is underwater by 11.5 points. Only 41 percent approve of the job he’s doing compared to 52.5 percent who disapprove.
Biden’s overall job approval rating is underwater by 11.5 points. Only 42.5 percent approve, while a clear majority of 54 percent disapprove.
My guess is that Biden’s mishandling of the Omicron variant is about to make things much worse for him in the arena of public standing. He failed to order enough tests. He failed to see it coming when it was inevitable. And he contributed to an overreaction that is definitely going to affect job and economic growth.
This poll also proves that the media’s absurd obsession with the Capitol Hill riot last January is not distracting voters in the way the media would like. No one cares about any of that nonsense, not when Americans are being held hostage, and the cost of food and energy are exploding.

Illegal Aliens, Cuban National Accused of Running ‘Massive Amazon Theft Ring’
Two illegal aliens and a legal immigrant from Cuba have been accused of operating a “massive Amazon theft ring” in Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, police charge.
Illegal alien Cesar Yasnier Cerqueira Rojas, illegal alien Maikel Perez Laurencio, and legal immigrant Dinneris Matos Delgado were arrested and charged with 15 felony counts of possession of stolen property and embezzlement.
According to the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office, Rojas, Laurencio, and Delgado operated a theft ring whereby thousands of dollars worth of Amazon packages were siphoned from their intended destination and sent to a private residence.
“Every one of these packages was supposed to be delivered by Christmas Day,” Aaron Brilbeck with the sheriff’s office told local media. “So, 600 people didn’t get their Christmas gifts as a result of this.”
Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office
On December 30, police said they were called to an area where a report of illegal dumping was reported. Police said they found about 600 empty Amazon packages dumped on the ground and a garbage bag that included an address and receipt from a nearby store.
That is when police obtained a warrant for a residence in Luther, Oklahoma. When police raided the residence, they found thousands of undelivered Amazon packages, many of which were still fully wrapped and packaged on pallets. The packages filled every room of the residence, police said.
Based on the warrant, police allege that Rojas — who had been working as a driver for a company that delivers Amazon packages — used a truck owned by Delgato and loaded extra pallets of Amazon packages onto the truck each day and brought them to the residence rather than delivering them to their intended destination.
Police said Laurencio was involved in the theft ring and likewise worked for a driving company that contracted with Amazon to deliver packages.
Delgato was also charged with possession of meth and police said they expect more charges to be filed against all three suspects.
