JOE BIDEN'S WEALTH HAS NEARLY DOUBLED DURING HIS FIRST 12 MONTHS OF DEBACLE!
The Fed Will Buy Stocks Next Crash
“Protect and enrich.” This is a perfect encapsulation of the Clinton Foundation and the Obama book and television deals. Then there is the Biden family corruption, followed closely behind by similar abuses of power and office by the Warren and Sanders families, as Peter Schweizer described in his recent book “Profiles in Corruption.” These names just scratch the surface of government corruption.

McCarthy: If GOP Wins Majority, The First Thing We Will Do Is Talk About Lowering Prices for the American People
(CNSNews.com) – House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Thursday that if the Republicans regain a majority in the House, the first thing he will do is talk about lowering prices for the American public and how to put food back on the shelves at the grocery store.
Speaking at a Capitol Hill press conference, McCarthy was asked what kind of oversight will he conduct as the majority leader.
“The only oversight that you guys will conduct is oversight that you plan to write bills off of? ‘Cause Congress has a long history of oversight that doesn’t necessarily result in legislation. You guys did it. Pelosi did it. Boehner did it. Ryan did it. There’s a long history of it,” the reporter said.
“How often have we gone after people's phone records?” McCarthy said.
“I’m asking what you will do what you will do if you are speaker. Will you only conduct oversight that is—“ the reporter continued.
“You know what we will do if we are entrusted with the majority? The first thing that we will do is talk about how do we lower the prices for the American public? How do we make gasoline price affordable again? How do we put food back on the shelves and how do we stop this rise of inflation and prices of everything that you are dealing with?” McCarthy said.
“How do we secure the border? How do we stop government mandating and controlling our lives? How do we make cities safe again? And yes, we will hold this administration accountable. We just found this week. I sent a letter with Virginia Foxx, the secretary of education, asked the national school board to send them a letter so that he can go to attorney general to now investigate the parents who go to school board meetings of terrorism,” he said.
“Afghanistan. We have 13 new Gold Star families, and that never had to happen. How many Americans are still stuck there? Have any of you asked that question? The president said just weeks before that he would not leave until every American was gone,” the minority leader said.
“The taxpayer who bought all of that weaponry that the Taliban now has. You got any reporting and recording of where that is? Where is it being sold to now on the black market? IRS releasing Americans' tax returns. Yes, we can do both, and we will,” McCarthy said.
Poll: Voters View Inflation as Bigger Issue than Coronavirus
American voters view inflation as a bigger issue than the Chinese coronavirus, a NewsNation survey released this week found.
The survey asked respondents, “Which do you think is a bigger problem facing the United States today: Inflation, unemployment, or COVID-19?”
A plurality of voters, 45.4 percent, said they view inflation as a bigger problem in the U.S., while 40.9 percent said the coronavirus; the difference between the two responses falls outside of that specific question’s +/- 3 percent margin of error. Another 13.5 percent said unemployment is the biggest issue, meaning a combined majority of Americans view issues such as inflation and jobs as bigger issues than the coronavirus.
The poll came prior to the Supreme Court dealing a devastating blow to President Biden’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) vaccine mandate, striking it down in a 6-3 vote. However, the Court upheld Biden’s Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) vaccine mandate 5-4, “although it explicitly acknowledged that the CMS mandate exempts employees who object to the vaccine for religious or medical reasons,” as Breitbart News reported. Notably, Biden’s ratings on his handling of the pandemic have been dropping exponentially over the past few months, particularly after he announced the ill-fated vaccine mandate, which would have affected roughly 84 million American workers, in an angry, divisive speech in September.
While continuing to face government mandates, Americans have also continued to feel the sting of inflation, as retail sales in the U.S. “declined sharply” in December, “indicating that the worst inflation in decades is hitting consumers harder than analysts expected,” as Breitbart News detailed:
Total retail sales dropped 1.9 percent in December, typically a month of robust holiday shopping, Commerce Department data showed Friday. The figures are not adjusted for inflation, suggesting that price-adjusted purchases were even weaker. The Consumer Price Index rose 0.5 percent in December.
The results were far worse than analysts expected. The median estimate by analysts was for sales to be flat to down just one-tenth of a percentage point.
The survey, taken this week among over 1,000 registered voters, has a margin of error of +/- 3.1 percent.
Report: Biden Finishes First Year on an ‘Epic Losing Streak’
President Joe Biden finished his first year in office on an “epic losing streak” characterized by his strained relationship with “Republicans, moderate Democrats, and liberal Democrats — all at once,” Axios reported Friday.
“But that’s where Biden finds himself at the start of an election year that many Democrats believe will result in the loss of the House and maybe the Senate,” the report surmised.
Biden will have been president officially for one year next Thursday and has “never been less popular nationally” after advocating for voting rights and his Build Back Better agenda “and failing,” Axios wrote, referencing Biden’s recent dismal approval rating of 33 percent.
Black activists and even the far-left New York Times have criticized the president for “dillydallying” on scrapping the filibuster in order to federalize elections — or what the left calls “voting rights.” Reportedly, some members of civil-rights groups even declined to attend Biden’s voting speech in Atlanta, Axios calling the incident an example of “rising anger” from the far-left wing of Biden’s party.
As far as foreign policy, Axios slammed Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal, saying it went “as poorly as it could have.” The outlet also honed in on Russia’s flippant attitude toward Biden, and Vladmir Putin’s focus on a “Ukraine invasion.” Despite Russia’s behavior, Democrats used the Senate filibuster (the same one they are trying to eliminate) to block a bill by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Thursday that would have sanctioned companies associated with Russia’s Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
The outlet further pointed to the U.S. economy under Biden, acknowledging rampant inflation and supply chain issues.
“Inflation is soaring: It’s the worst in 39 years,” according to the report. “Empty grocery shelves get network-news coverage. It’s partly the weather, partly COVID, partly the supply chain — but makes a handy visual shorthand for national pessimism.”
On top of those failures, the Supreme Court on Thursday blocked Biden’s biggest federal vaccine mandate, meaning 84 million Americans working for businesses with 100-plus employees will not be mandated to get jabbed. His overall coronavirus response is also losing popularity as the omicron variant infects both the vaccinated and the unvaccinated, though seemingly at varying rates and severity.
“The bottom line: Build Back Better was supposed to be Biden’s FDR moment. Voting rights could have been his LBJ moment. Instead, he’s likely to end Year 1 with neither,” the report concluded.
Barrasso: Biden Needs to Start Focusing on Inflation, Not Election Bills Most People Don’t Care About
On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “The Story,” Senate Republican Conference Chair Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) reacted to Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) reiterating her opposition to eliminating the filibuster to pass election legislation by stating that “we need a president to start focusing on the concerns of the American people, which is number 1, inflation” instead of “something that’s an asterisk on the polling of what the American people care about.”
Barrasso said, [relevant remarks begin around 1:50] “Well, what we just saw with Sen. Sinema was a profile in courage. She kept her word. She protected the Senate. She preserved the voice and the rights of the minority party. We have a 50/50 Senate. That should be a mandate to move to the middle. What we have is a president who gives divisive speeches, like he did in Georgia and like he continued to do today. We need to unite this country and we need a president to start focusing on the concerns of the American people, which is number 1, inflation. It’s how it’s impacting their lives personally. That’s the front-page headline on every newspaper in America, a 40-year high of inflation. That’s what people are concerned about, putting food on the table, putting gas in the car, getting the kids to school, not something that’s an asterisk on the polling of what the American people care about.”
