Wednesday's Wash of the Absurdities: Old Joe Blames the Fed and Justice in DC is Officially Dead
The White House wanted this to be the big news Tuesday, so their media lapdogs just played along:
Here’s an excerpt from the Reuters story:
Biden vows to give Fed Chair Powell 'space' to fight inflation
May 31 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden on Tuesday met with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell to discuss historic inflation that's draining American wallets, even as he assured the central bank chief he would have freedom from political interference.
"The president underscored to Chair Powell in the meeting what he has underscored consistently including today -- that he respects the independence of the Federal Reserve," White House National Economic Council Director Brian Deese said after the meeting, calling it "very constructive."
Deese also nodded to the "transition" ahead for the U.S. economy as the Fed lifts interest rates to more normal levels to dampen demand and ease price pressures, slowing growth in the process.
"We have run this first leg of the race at a very rapid clip that has put us in the strong position relative to our peers, but this is a marathon and we have to move and shift to stable resilient growth," Deese said. "We can actually take on inflation without having to sacrifice...all of those (labor market) gains."
So, obviously, this week’s overriding narrative in the media/Democrat Propaganda Complex will be to brainwash you into believing that inflation was all the fault of the Fed, and it is up to the Fed to fix it.
Of course, the reality is that inflation is caused by too much money in the system chasing too few goods, and both sides of that equation can be traced directly back to Biden administration policies that have flooded the economy with profligate debt spending, reversed Trump policies that had led to a boom in domestic industrial progress and over-regulation that has led to completely hosed-up supply chains. The Fed can influence some of this through monetary policy, but absent major policy shifts by the White House, it will only be nipping at the margins.
That’s the truth, which of course our worthless, corrupt news media will do everything in its power to prevent you from understanding.
RNC Research published this terrific visual of Old Joe’s progression of excuses for inflation:
Now, they just need to extend the line to May and add “Biden: It’s the Fed’s fault.”
whew.
The cable news ratings are in, and boy are they glorious:
Note that the most striking aspect of these new ratings is that several NewsMax programs are now out-drawing some shows on CNN.
There is a God after all.
Sharyl Atkisson gave us this bit of Big Tech news yesterday:
Ok, so, someone wants to fact-check Facebook's fake fact-checker, but do it under oath? What a great idea!
Here’s an excerpt from that story:
Emmanuel Vincent is a hunted man.
On June 24, an officer of the French Ministry of the Interior, acting under the terms of the Hague Convention, summoned him to a police station and served him papers to appear in court for posting false and misleading statements in his role as president of Science Feedback, a Facebook fact checking service.
On top of this, the beleaguered nonprofit has weathered multiple critiques for posting politicized, biased opinions that call themselves “fact checks”—including a Wall Street Journal editorial that called out Science Feedback for attacking Johns Hopkins physician-researcher Marty Makary, after he wrote an essay predicting the arrival of Covid-19 herd immunity.
“This is counter-opinion masquerading as fact checking,” the Wall Street Journal wrote, noting that Dr. Makary never made a factual claim; he had made a prediction based on his analysis of available evidence.
If you’re interested in falling down a science rabbit hole, feel free to read what Dr. Makary wrote and how Science Feedback responded. But here’s the thing, you don’t need a PhD in epidemiology to understand that when experts analyze studies and make predictions they might be wrong.
Can we get these French authorities go after the fake “fact-checkers” at Politifact next? That would be fun.
From our Democrat Commencement Address Wisdom File:
Yes, of course, a Democrat with any real ummmm…heft would say that. Democrats don’t want Americans to be “fearless,” they want them to be timid, afraid, subservient and dependent. We all know that’s true, right?
Right.
Here, Mollie Hemingway says all anyone needs to say about the farcical verdict in the Sussmann case:
I warned y’all not to get excited about anything Durham’s doing, and this inevitable “not guilty” verdict from a DC jury filled with Hillary Clinton and AOC donors was the main reason why.
The simple message from this verdict is that, in the nation’s capital, prominent Democrats have free reign to commit any crime they wish to commit without fear of being found guilty by a jury of their despicable, depraved peers. As Mollie notes, that really is a clear existential threat to our country’s survival in its current form.

Hey, nothing to see here! No voting irregularities at all, just “two different sources of data,” folks!
Holy crap.

Good God, ladies, who cares what Whoopi freaking Goldberg thinks about guns? Stop watching this crap and it will go away.
That is all.
