Competing from 1953 to 1970, he was a dominant contender of his era. He became the world heavyweight champion in 1962 after knocking out Floyd Patterson in the first round, repeating the knockout the following year in defense of the title; in the latter fight he also became the inaugural WBC heavyweight champion. Often regarded as one of the greatest boxers of all time, Liston was particularly known for his immense strength, formidable jab, long reach, toughness, and is widely regarded as the most intimidating man in the history of the sport. Liston was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1991.   Rep.

We cannot take a second term of skyrocketing grocery costs, higher rents, and unaffordable mortgages and car loans. What you need to know: January’s Consumer Price Index rose 3.1% compared to last year. Auto insurance is up 20.6%; Household repairs are up 18.2%; Sporting events are up 13.5%; Transportations services are up 9.5%; Nonprescription drugs are up 9.2%; Baby food is up 8.7%; Garbage collection is up 6.4%; Shelter is up 6.0%; Eating out is up 5.1%. Prices have risen by 17.9% since Biden took office. Americans’ finances are being decimated. Americans are suffering from the lasting effects of Biden’s historic inflation, with many struggling to pay their debts, save for retirement, or afford rent. Americans are increasingly borrowing to cover daily expenses, finding their regular income is no longer enough to make ends meet. Credit card delinquencies have surpassed pre-pandemic levels for the first time. The polls show how unhappy Americans are with Biden’s economy. A majority of Americans believe Biden’s policies have worsened economic conditions in the country. Only 28% of Americans rated the economy as excellent or good compared to 57% in 2020. Only 1 in 5 Americans believe they would be better off financially if Biden is reelected The bottom line: Despite this administration’s constant gaslighting, Americans continue to suffer from Bidenflation in their day-to-day lives. Bidenomics will only continue to result in paying more to live worse.   Presented Without Comment   Republican Party of Arkansas | 1201 W. 6th St, Little Rock, AR 72201 Unsubscribe [email protected] Update Profile | Constant Contact Data Notice Sent by [email protected] powered by Try email marketing for free today!
