Bias, Gas And Politics On My Mind

Quick hits as I contemplate a Biden regime talking about awarding hurricane relief in Florida with racial bias, as in whites need not apply.

• Newt Gingrich, former speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, was on Fox News this morning, again calling out the “Biden Crime Family.” It’s a recurring theme, with author Peter Schweizer putting out a book on the Bidens, “Profiles In Corruption.” And yet the Bidens never take this all to court, where there could be a full accounting of why such claims are wrong – or are on the money.

• I hung up my “Let’s Go Brandon” banner on the porch yesterday, strategically placed over a set of end windows so it can be read easily by people driving either direction on the street. I had toyed with the idea of displacing the American Flag, but opted for this placement for now.

• Hate to rain on the parade of all the supporters of Dr. Oz in the Pennsylvania Senate race or Doug Mastriano’s campaign for Pennsylvania governor, but the unofficial indicator of yard signs indicates both races are lost to the Republicans. Understand this unofficial indicator presaged a Trump win in his first presidential run. Hope I’m wrong, but . . .

• During Gingrich’s Fox appearance he also held firm in expecting the Republicans to pick up 20-50 House seats and as many as seven Senate seats. The first seems plausible. The second is unlikely in the extreme.

• Gold and silver rallied big on Monday and Tuesday – giving back a chunk in premarket action Wednesday — but the precious metals are said to be sniffing out a change in policy from our Federal Reserve on the subject of interest rates and monetary policy. Already central banks in England, Japan and Australia, to name a few, have walked back their tough talk as economies and markets teeter. If our Fed blowhards blink, the inflation you’ve seen to date will be dwarfed by what’s to come.

• Gasoline prices have begun to tick upward again both nationally and in my area. I saw a 10-cent increase at one chain, so I quickly filled up the Kia at another, where the increase was yet to be posted. Oil is ramping upward in price and OPEC is re-asserting its control of pricing, despite the supposed promise Clueless Joe got from his fist bump with the Saudis.

• What a coincidence that three of the first four people arrested for looting in Florida following the hurricane were illegal immigrants.

• Our national debt is ticking toward $32 trillion, about $93,000 per person or $238,000 per taxpayer. This is the underlying cause of inflation that manipulating interest rates or money supply can’t cure. Clueless Joe rushing to buy votes with handouts only worsens the problem.

• Clueless Joe also supposedly told a left-wing toady that he will run for president again in 2024. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton is floating trial balloons that she could run yet again. The only thing scarier than either intellectual lightweight running for president is that the combination of our moronic electorate and creative vote counters would mean either likely wins.
