It’s Saturday and I never do a podcast on a Saturday. So, to celebrate a doing something I don’t normally do, I am going to do something I don’t normally do: Make a longer episode.

There’s been that much going on.

 

The Biden Magic Continues to Amaze

The Labor Department said last month’s increase in the consumer-price index was the largest since August 2008, when the reading rose 5.4%.

The core-price index, which excludes the often-volatile categories of food and energy, jumped 3.8% in May from the year before—the largest increase for that reading since June 1992.

Consumers are seeing higher prices for many of their purchases, particularly big-ticket items such as vehicles. Prices for used cars and trucks leapt 7.3% from the previous month, driving one-third of the rise in the overall index. The indexes for furniture, airline fares and apparel also rose sharply in May.

May’s jump in prices extends a trend that accelerated this spring amid widespread Covid-19 vaccinations, relaxed business restrictions, trillions of dollars in federal pandemic relief programs and ample household savings—all of which have stoked demand for Americans to spend and travel more.

Prices for new vehicles have soared because of a computer-chip shortage that has crimped car production. That, in turn, has bolstered prices for used autos. Rental-car prices have soared because companies sold their fleets when demand collapsed along with travel during the pandemic. Airfares and hotel-room rates are rebounding as consumers start traveling again.

Stronger demand has spurred employers to try to hire more workers, but many businesses are raising wages as they struggle to hire people. Job openings reached 9.3 million in April, the highest number since records began in 2000, as the gap widened between open positions and workers taking the roles.

And This is Not News…Why?

Here’s the shocker of the year. This comes after Joe Biden got rid of the Trump ban on TikTok and WeChat, two Chinese companies who were collecting private information on our citizens.

Iran has been playing hardball with the Biden administration to get back into the Iran nuclear agreement. Too know, the agreement that didn’t prevent Iran from creating a nuclear bomb but did give them a lot of money and eliminate sanctions. Yeah, well Biden has decided appease these terrorists once again.

The Biden administration lifted sanctions on three former Iranian officials and several energy companies.

The U.S. Treasury Department on Thursday repealed sanctions on former senior National Iranian Oil Co. officials and several companies involved in shipping and trading petrochemical products. The administration described the moves as routine administrative actions, saying the officials were removed from U.S. blacklists because they no longer held positions in the sanctioned entities.

But officials familiar with talks under way in Vienna on the future of the 2015 multilateral Iran nuclear agreement said the Biden administration has been looking at how it could inject momentum into the negotiations.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement:

“These actions demonstrate our commitment to lifting sanctions in the event of a change in status or behavior by sanctioned persons.”

Here we go. The weakness of the Biden administration is showing. Weakness the Iran knew he would show. He could have told Iran that they could rejoin the agreement, no questions asked, but the knew Biden would folded like nice linen pants. And he did.

Anthony Ruggiero, a former top national security adviser to President Trump, said:

“Lifting sanctions during negotiations shows weakness to Iran and tells Tehran to continue its nefarious activities, including nuclear extortion and sending conventional arms to U.S. adversaries.”

Yep.

I’m sure the Iranians aren’t going to respond to this. They not only want to enter the world economy again, but I’m sure they want another several pallets of cash from the United States.

Listen, we know this was going to happen. My cynical self says Biden has been prepping this since he took office. Why am I so cynical?

• Cost of old Was a $20 a barrel.
• The United States was not only oil independent but we became a major exporter of oil.
• Biden cancelled the XL pipeline.
• Biden limited offshore drilling.
• Biden cancelled oil drilling leases in Alaska.
• Meanwhile, he opened up the pipeline from Russia to Germany, increasing the flow to Europe.
• Gas prices went up 25-40%.
• Oil is up to $70 a barrel.

Here’s why I’m cynical. OPEC has decided to increase the production of oil Why? Europe doesn’t need it. China alway needs oil but their demand wasn’t enough to raise demand to over $30 a barrel.

The reason is because the United States is no longer energy independent. We need oil. We need oil for cars, plastics, electricity among other things. Well, just about everything we use on a daily basis.

Boom! No American oil, oil and gas prices go straight up.

How can Biden be a hero? Get back into the Iran nuclear deal. Iran is allowed to sell oil to the world. They will also sell missiles to Hamas and Hezbollah to continue the proxy war with Israel. And continue their proxy war with the Saudis in Yemen. And continue their influence in Iraq and Syria, which they had to stop when Trump put the clamps on them.

Anyway, they will sell oil to the United States. Oil prices will drop 10% and Biden is a hero.

That’s cynical. That’s what’s going to happen.

Why is This Thing Still News?

Ilhan Omar continues to prove she hates the Jews and America.

Yep, she compared the United States and Israel to the Taliban and Hamas. At least she admitted that Hamas commits atrocities. I don’t understand how this gal is allowed to serve this country with the venom she spews.

A group of Jewish Democratic Congressman, not all of them of course, signed a letter, not condemning her, but asking her to clarify her statements. Mind you, no one will condemn her because she is way too popular.

 

Way to go calling her out guys! No wonder nothing is getting done in Congress.

Ilhan, who I think likes the attention, just went right after these cowards. She tweeted:

This broad is incredible.

• She’s called out for being anti-Semitic.
• She gets pissed about being called out and attacks.
• She calls these guys Islamophobic. Nothing in that statement that I read was Islamophobic.
• She pissed about them not coming to her privately. Has that ever worked before?

What can you expect from this broad:

• She married her own brother. Doing this she committed:
  • Tax fraud.
  • Immigration fraud.
  • Bigamy.
• She had an affair with a married man while married, lied about it then secretly got a divorce and married him.
• Is being investigated for funneling money to her new husbands firm.
• Is being investigated for other types of corruption.

Rashida Tlaib, the other dumb one from the squad, tweeted:

Really? These two have been called out for anti-Semitic tweets every three months since they’ve been in office and they are being muzzled? If they were being muzzled, why to they keep getting into trouble for saying anti-Semitic tweets and constantly giving me fodder for my podcast?

By the way, the silent Rashida Tlaib actually tweeted a picture of a sticky note posted over Israel with Palestine written on the posted note. Question: Is supporting the complete destruction is Israel anti-Semitic? Did she get into trouble for that?

This Interview is an HR Report Waiting to Happen

I guess when your company has hit rock bottom there is nothing you can do to make it worse.

CNN decided to rehire Jeffrey Toobin after he was fired six months ago. I’ll let Alisyn Camerota, in probably the most uncomfortable interview of her career, explain what happened and we can hear Toobin’s response:

I think the HR department over at CNN should be prepared for Alisyn to file a report for having to do that horribly awkward interview.

CNN decided to rehire him after he did some time in a soup kitchen. Not sure that’s really a thing. Maybe a couple of years of heavy therapy is probably more in line of what he needs.

I know why CNN is doing this, even though most of the CNN employees don’t want him there or won’t sit in any chair he has used. They are trying to raise there ratings. I think people might watch Toobin speak on CNN because people like watching a train wreck. So watch. CNN will announce that Toobin is coming on well in advance, people will watch the segment and then the ratings will tick up during that segment. Eventually, it’ll crash out.

Anyway, a couple of hours later, Jim Acosta went on television and said Fox News was BS. Talk about bad timing.

The SCIENCE!

Don’t screw with Tony Fauci!

I only thought Fauci was incompetent before. Now I see he’s incompetent and an ass.

Let’s take a look at Fauci’s career:

• He’s been a bureaucrat for 40 years.
• He hasn’t treated a patient since the 70’s.
• He was wrong about AIDS:
  • He said it could spread through routine contact.
  • He flip-flopped on whether or not it was mainly contracted through gay sex.
• He completely screwed up the COVID pandemic:
  • He lied about masks.
  • He said the virus was not started in a lab, protecting China.
  • His policies closed the economy and now we are seeing this might have been a mistake.
  • He said we needed to continue wearing masks even if vaccinated or have had the disease.

Yeah, criticizing Fauci is not criticizing science. He has been wrong about everything.

 

Um, No…

Greta Thunberg has released a new video this week and she is addressing what I have been talking about for the last two weeks: How we are bad people for eating meat. Here’s a clip from the five minute video:

Yeah, nothing. Not a damn thing.

If I was meant not to eat meat steak wouldn’t taste so good. We’ve been eating meat for thousands of years. And we will be eating meat for thousands more because we humans are omnivores. We eat just about everything and it’s health for us.

You know who else says we should eat meat? God. He spent most of Leviticus telling us what meat we can have and can’t have. He even taught us how to prepare it. But Greta probably doesn’t believe in God so this argument is moot.

I also get the impression that Greta has never watched Animal Planet or any of the shows during Shark Week. The beauty of nature kind of goes south when watching a killer whale chomp on a baby seal. Nature is beautiful but it does suck too. And all those animals that eat meat wouldn’t mind gnawing on my leg either. If you question that, walk into the lion enclosure at the zoo.

Finally, most animals are biological machines. Especially fish. They don’t have any more feeling than a rock.

I do want to point out that, though Greta is 18 years old, she looks like she’s eight. Maybe if she had a steak she’s look more her age.

I Like Mom Better

Senator James Lankford (R, OK) decided to question HHS Secretary Xavier Bacerra about a term he used when writing out his budget proposal for the Department of Health and Human Services. I think it’s actually a pretty good question.

Women have it tough. They have to:

• Share restroom with men who think they are women.
• Compete in sports with men who think they are women.
• Have derogatory terms for their body parts like “front hole.”

Now, they can’t even have an endearing term for something that is specific to them like being a mother.

The question here is a good one. How is changing the language going to change the policy. That’s the danger of changing the language. That’s why I refuse to call a woman a man and vice versa, use someone’s preferred pronouns, call a riot a protest or call speech hate speech. Laws and policies are designed from these redefinitions of reality.
