Every Little Thing He Does is Tragic

Leftists suffer from a lack of patience.

Even as they attempt to remake society and refashion the mass’s tastes, preferences, and predilections while safeguarding already stolen wealth for themselves–reality ends up setting in and reality bites.

It kicks them in the face, for their fanciful dreams of kleptocratic utopia are naturally at odds with nature, with economic law, and with freedom.

This is why everything that Joe Biden touches and waxes unpoetic upon turns to shit in very quick order. All these things are, by natural law, bound to do so.

Seen today–IN ILLINOIS!

Inflation

We have not seen this level of economic ignorance in a president since FDR, and that is a very high bar to hurdle.

Every supposed remedy that the Biden administration and Soylent Brown himself advance to supposedly fix inflation only ends up worsening the problem.

His lie-machine Jen Psaki (née Goebbels) spouted out, and then Biden reiterated this week, that their administration has done nothing to curtail domestic fossil fuel energy production. If by “nothing” they mean “everything”, then they could be saved from outright mendacity. Psaki claimed that there are over “9,000 permits” for oil drilling and production left unutilized by oil companies. However, the behemoth and overlapping executive departments have so burdened oil and natural gas companies with mountainous red tape and prohibitions on drilling on federal lands (which are quite extensive, in case you were unaware) that expanding production has become cost prohibitive and often totally impossible.

When Psaki, Biden, and Secretary of Energy and Biden stooge Jennifer Granholm offer these “arguments”, is anyone really buying them? This is, after all, an administration consisting of a veritable cabal of eco-crazies, who have dreamt of high gas prices for decades. They cannot hide their collective glee, as they watch pump prices soar, because now they have a narrative and justification to force consumption of and subsidies for still inadequate “renewable energy” sources. Has everyone forgotten “cap-and-trade”?

They have now moved on to blaming Putin and Russia for high gas prices, as if the leader and the Russian people are synonymous, and as if Russia was the major supplier of gas to the United States.

No mention of secretive, omnibus spending bills, passed in the dark of night. No mention of artificially low interests rates still flooding the market with heroin-like capital.

And, in the most serendipitous of all convenient developments, Co-Vid is no longer a problem, and Fauci is in an undisclosed bunker somewhere. You can be certain he took paintings of himself down there for comfort.

Foreign Affairs 

Speaking of inflation: Do you know what is sure to raise inflationary rates? Tariff increases.

Today, Sleepy Joe announced his move–supported by doe-eyed Republicans like Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton–to remove Russia’s status as a most favored trade nation, and increase tariffs on Russian imports to a ridiculous 40 percent. I’ll say this until I’m blue in the face: Tariffs crush economic growth. They inhibit manufacturing activity across the stages of production because tariffs necessarily decrease supply of a commodity and naturally increase its cost domestically. In short, tariffs by another name are sanctions.

Nickel, needed for everything from semiconductors to batteries, comes mainly from Russia and Ukraine. Joe Biden just made that mineral more expensive.

Stay tuned, because Biden et al. have already signaled it: Price controls and rationing are coming. That is their last card to play. Once that happens, we will have an economy and life resembling the worst of the French Revolution.

But, blame Putin for that!

Bullshit.

The Feds and their mouthpiece, the corporate media, have convinced the dimwitted to take off their virtue-signaling, megaphone/face mask and replace it with their mini Ukraine flag in their cars. Worse than that, people are tweeting in holy obeisance of their Pope Stephen (Colbert) that they are proud to pay $80 for a fill up because they are aiding the Ukrainian war effort!

WAKE UP!

Can’t we all recognize that sanctions, combined with arming Ukraine, combined with unrelenting propaganda, combined with demonization of the Russian people, combined with a trade war: This all means that the United States is at war with Russia.

Stop kidding yourselves. Stop being as dumb as our “representatives” in Washington. You cannot declare neutrality in a knife fight by handing one of the combatants a gun and then hand-cuffing the other. The last time the United States ventured into this realm of foreign policy was vis-a-vis Japan prior to World War II. WAKE UP!

The real cure to all of this is to not have our attention diverted from these facts. The real remedy is to recognize that Russia pursued none of the measures which the United States government is engaged in at present against Russia, measures designed to harm the people of both places, not their governments, as the United States government launched and continues to conduct foreign wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Somalia, Iraq (again), a war of genocide in Yemen and yes, Ukraine in 2014. Spare me that such an argument amounts to “what-aboutism”. Don’t be dolts. Just glance at history and you’ll see a laundry-list of sickening prequels.

As Charlie Westerman and I point out time and time again in our upcoming, sure-to-be megahit book, history is not a cartoonish, purely good-guy vs. utterly bad-guy, story. Especially when it comes to one state, or states, in conflict with one another. Stop simping for the regime. WAKE UP.
