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.
Whenever a mass shooting takes place, the Left is quick to come out and accuse Republicans of not caring about people’s lives because they refuse to enact “common sense” gun reform legislation. Of course, such legislation always involves taking guns away from law-abiding citizens. Democrats will lie and say that background checks would have stopped the current tragedy. The only problem is always that such background checks already exist.
The Democrats surely believed that they would be rid of PDJT by now. They stole the election, labeled it a lie to say so and thought that the public would buy their crap. As it turns out, PDJT is still one of the most popular political figures in the country. Arguably he is more popular now than in 2020. What didn’t destroy him has made him stronger.
Trump has been joined by others who are standing up for values that the Democrats despise. Among them is Florida Governor Ron DeSantis who has demonstrated conclusively that elections have consequences. Just ask the Disney Corporation about that. DeSantis has also demonstrated that standing up for the common people all the time is a winning strategy.
On Monday the FDA chief, one Dr. Robert Califf, said that the baby formula problem is just a distribution problem. There is no real shortage of baby formula.
Let’s note that in 25 states, 40-50% of baby formula is out of stock. In another 5 states, more than 50% of baby formula is out of stock.
Joe Biden visited Buffalo after the mass shooting on Saturday. Yet he couldn’t visit Waukesha after a terrorist killed 6 people and injured dozens more after he plowed through a Christmas parade. According to Psaki, it was because such a visit requires a lot of assets and takes the city’s resources.
Where do they get these people? The first day on the job can be challenging for anyone. However, when one is the White House Press Secretary one should be able to at least partially respond to a reporter’s question even if it means lying. Karine Jean-Pierre does not appears to possess even that skill.
Gas prices reached a new all-time high again on Monday. This is the 7th day in a row that this has happened. If Trump as President, I am sure that is all that we would be hearing from Big Media. What are we hearing from them under Biden? Crickets!
As most people know the administration is appealing a federal judge’s ruling that the imposition of a mask mandate for planes, trains and busses was illegal. On Wednesday, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was asked about his planned attendance at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday.
Buttigieg said he was planning to go. Fox News Brett Baier pressed him on why he was seeking to keep Americans masked on planes, etc. while he went maskless to a ballroom event. Buttigieg tried to denigrate the reporter by saying, “Most of us understand the difference between a hotel ballroom and an airplane.”
In doing so, Buttigieg once again displayed his ineptness. Airplane air filtration systems are way beyond anything seen in a hotel ballroom. Airplanes filter and clean the air in the entire plane every 2 minutes while ballrooms with massive volume have very limited air exchange or filtration.
Just what were this man’s qualifications for this job? Was this job the price of stepping out of the way so that Biden could be the Democratic candidate in 2020?
The Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) released March price data [Available Here] showing a dramatic 11.2% increase year-over-year in Final Demand products at the wholesale level. This is the fifth consecutive month with the highest rate of inflation the PPI ever recorded.

I have not written a whole lot about what is going on in Ukraine because there is almost no way to get accurate information. Russian State media runs propaganda for Putin. In Western countries, Big Media is little more than the same kind of propaganda arm. To quote one wag, the media here are just stenographers who repeat whatever the government elites tell them. The days of independent journalists digging out stories are gone.
