Inflation Hits 8.5 Percent, Biden Administration Continues to Blame Putin
|
From the story: The Labor Department on Tuesday said the consumer-price index—which measures what consumers pay for goods and services—last month rose at its fastest annual pace since December 1981, up from the 7.9% annual rate in February. Rising prices have been unrelenting, with six straight months of inflation above 6% that is well above the Federal Reserve’s average 2% target ( WSJ). From Ted Cruz: President Biden’s careless spending has resulted in Americans paying more and more for nearly everything ( Twitter). White House advisor Jesse Lee, upset that not all are buying the absurd effort to blame inflation on Putin, said Republicans are “ fully in lockstep in blaming Biden for Putin’s price hike” ( Washington Examiner). Biden is doubling down with the “ Putin price hike” charade with a tweet of his own ( Twitter). Even Democrat Joe Manchin is calling on Biden to stop the Putin nonsense ( Hot Air). From the Wall Street Journal editorial board: … the inflation trend began in earnest a year ago at the onset of the Biden Presidency. It has accelerated for most of the last 12 months. That’s long before Mr. Putin decided to invade. The timing reflects too much money chasing too few goods, owing mainly to the combination of vast federal spending and easy monetary policy ( WSJ). From David Harsanyi: The Biden administration, in fact, spent a year downplaying inflation fears despite the warning signs, contending that inflation was only “transitory,” claiming that “nobody” was “suggesting there’s unchecked inflation on the way — no serious economist,” dismissing price spikes as a “high-class” problem, and arguing that higher prices might actually be a good thing ( National Review). From Jim Geraghty: Compared to a year ago, you’re paying 48 percent more today for gasoline; 35.3 percent more for a used car; 21.6 percent more for your natural-gas bill; 13.7 percent more for meat, fish, and eggs; 12.5 percent more for a new car; 11.1 percent more for electricity; 10 percent more for food at home; 7.7 percent more for transportation; 6.9 percent more for food away from home; 6.8 percent more for apparel; and 5 percent more for shelter. Americans aren’t in a bad mood just because gas is much more expensive. They’re in a bad mood because just about everything is more expensive ( National Review).

Russia Sends in Brutal General to Terrorize Ukrainians
|
From Rich Lowry on General Aleksandr Dvornikov: He became known as the Butcher of Syria for his role leading the Russian campaign in Syria, most notoriously the reduction of Aleppo. A United Nations human-rights official called that city, after the Russians were done with it, “a slaughterhouse.” He depicted “a gruesome locus of pain and fear, where the lifeless bodies of small children are trapped under streets of rubble and pregnant women deliberately bombed.” That ghastly description, of course, sounds all too familiar. Naturally enough, the Russian government honored Dvornikov for his bloody handiwork in Syria as a “hero of the Russian Federation” ( National Review). A look at the devastation in Mariupol, where 20,000 residents are dead ( Hot Air).

From Dan McLaughlin: When Democrats are running from the Democrat brand IN NEW YORK, they’ve got problems ( Twitter).

Voters will not put up w/ serial idiotic choices by governments, even if inflation was under control. Red wave coming. Big one ( Twitter).

Oklahoma Bill Makes Nearly All Abortions Illegal

California Law Would End Careers of Doctors who Disagree on Covid Policy
|
The story, written by a professor specializing in epidemiology and health policy at Stanford Medical School, explains “ a proposed California law threatens to make such dissent career-ending by handing the state the power to strip medical licenses from doctors who disagree with government positions on Covid.” Later: “ According to California Assembly Bill 2098, physicians who deviate from an authorized set of beliefs would do so at risk to their medical license. The bill, written by Assemblyman Evan Low, a Democrat in Silicon Valley, and currently making its way through the California Legislature, is motivated by the idea that practicing doctors are spreading “misinformation” about the risks of Covid, its treatment, and the Covid vaccine. It declares that physicians and surgeons who “disseminate or promote misinformation or disinformation related to COVID-19, including false or misleading information regarding the nature and risks of the virus, its prevention and treatment; and the development, safety, and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines” shall be subject to “disciplinary action,” which could result in the loss of the doctor’s medical license.”
