Sanctions

Just how much pain are the sanctions inflicting on the Russian people?  We have been told by Big Media that the Russian people will soon rise up against Vladimir Putin because of the difficulties being experienced.

YouTube has a video tour of a grocery outside St Petersburg that shows just how difficult things have become for the Russian people.

This is a nice mini market.  It appears to be well stocked. The prices are reasonable and the market is extremely clean. This is a far cry from how things were during the days of the Soviet Union when the shelves were often bare, when housewives would wait in lines for hours for food deliveries.

Here in this country energy costs are going through the roof as a direct result of the administration’s energy policies.  Supermarkets including the big chains often have shelves that are missing products.  And, of course, the baby formula situation is getting worse.  Incompetence seems to be the middle name of every department head within this administration.

IMO the sanctions were actually aimed at us for not electing Biden and his regime buddies.  They must transform America into a communist state before November.  This corrupt regime’s policies are designed to destroy America as we knew it.

“When once a Republic is corrupted, there is no possibility of remedying any of the growing evils but by removing the corruption and restoring its lost principles; every other correction is either useless or a new evil.” – Thomas Jefferson

Let’s remember that much of what this corrupt government does is not legal under any existing law.  They are coopting emergency rules to transform the country from capitalism to communism.

President Biden drew criticism Monday after invoking the Defense Production Act (DPA) to expedite the production of solar panels.  How on earth is it justified to use special wartime powers to do this?

Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) tweeted, “Biden’s irresponsible & arguably constitutionally corrupt misuse of the Defense Production Act should concern every American. The DPA isn’t a get out of jail free card to cover for lazy & inept governance, which is exactly how this administration uses it.”

Press secretary Jean-Pierre was asked where the emergency existed for use of this law.  Her answer makes it clear that governance by the people through their elected representatives in Congress is over.  Jean-Pierre did not specify a national defense reason.

“The president, when he takes the Defense Production Act, it’s to make sure that he’s delivering for the American people.  It is an important tool that he has used a couple of times and has been incredibly effective.”

“He is invoking the Defense Production Act to rapidly expand domestic production of solar panel parts, building insulation, heat pumps and more.”

If there was a huge market for such items, wouldn’t companies be falling over one another to cash in on the opportunity?  This use of the DPA will just add further fuel to the raging inflation going on in western countries.
