Extremely hypocritical of you to refer to him as 'inbred' and 'disgusting' because you THINK he has no conscience for killing endangered species, yet you don't condemn the allegations of corruption, conspiring with foreign governments (plural), degenerate drug use, and the exploitation of women and children found on Hunter's laptop, so who's really the disgusting one?
One more time other than Don Jr killing animals that are legal to hunt where he shot them what else is sleazy about Don Jr compared to Hunter?
We both know that's the answer but he will never admit that. He will next say that sleazy Don Jr told a Litttle Johnny joke in a men's locker room when he was 15 therefore he is comparable to Hunter. Winston will agree with him.
Joe Biden has done a wonderful job with the economy…..at least that’s what he wants you to think. However the facts don’t lie we’re headed for a meltdown as the lates inflation numbers show. Don’t let them fool you. Most of the cause is the trillions of dollars he continues to inject into the economy. Watch out it’s gonna be a rough ride. Prices climbed 8.5% in March, compared to last year, amid growing fears of economic slowdown Prices rose 8.5 percent in March compared with a year ago, the largest annual increase since December 1981, as Russia’s war in Ukraine drove up energy prices and policymakers launched a major effort to get soaring inflation under control. The inflation data, released Tuesday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, showed prices rose 1.2 percent in March compared with February. Price increases for gas, shelter and food were the largest contributors to inflation, underscoring how higher prices has become inescapable for households and businesses simply trying to get by. Biden to announce plan to ease gas prices as inflationary pressures persist The report reflected the severe economic repercussions of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, especially on energy markets. Numerous categories, or indexes, showed a big increase. Overall, the energy index has risen 32.0 percent over the last year. The gasoline index rose 18.3 percent in March after climbing 6.6 percent in February. The food index rose 1 percent in March compared to February. It is up 8.8 percent compared to the prior 12 months, with few categories left untouched. Breakfast cereal was up 2.4 percent from February to March. Rice prices rose 3.2 percent, ground beef grew 2.1 percent, and eggs were up 1.9 percent. Milk was up 1.3 percent, potatoes 3.2 percent, and canned fruits and vegetables tacked on 3.8 percent. Rents were up 0.4 percent in March compared to the previous month, down slightly from their 0.6 percent climb in February. Just a few months ago, officials at the White House and Federal Reserve hoped that inflation was starting to tick down month by month. But those projections were quickly dashed by Russia’s invasion, covid shutdowns at major Chinese manufacturing hubs, and the bleak reality that inflation continues to spread through every crevice of the economy. “One cannot escape it, even if one wanted to,” said Joe Brusuelas, chief economist at RSM. “This is going to continue for a while.” Persistently high inflation comes as economists and analysts increasingly fear a looming economic slowdown. In March, Bank of America analysts lowered their estimates for growth in 2022 from 3.6 percent to 3.3 percent. The Federal Reserve also recently downgraded its GDP forecasts, with officials cautioning that the war in Ukraine is casting much uncertainty over the world order. Still, it’s unclear how severe a slowdown could lie ahead. Fed officials say that the economy is still in a position of strength, given low unemployment and the relative strength of household balance sheets. But as it sets out to rein in inflation, the Fed will strive to cool the economy down without causing it to contract altogether. Energy prices were widely expected to be one of the driving forces behind the March inflation report. Russia’s invasion triggered a slew of international sanctions that are intended to choke off Russia’s economy and Putin’s inner circle. But attempts to isolate Russia have also carried consequences for the world economy, putting supplies of oil, wheat and other commodities are under new pressures.

Crude oil soared to new highs last month, and rising gasoline prices quickly followed. Even as crude prices ease up, sticker shock at the pump continues to stretch peoples’ wallets and sour their perceptions of the overall economy. Still, the March inflation report offered some optimism. Prices for used cars and trucks have been a major drag on inflation, as a global semiconductor shortage collides with staggering consumer demand. But in March, the index for used cars and truck fell 3.8 percent, clinching a second-consecutive monthly decline. Inflation has proven to be one of the most blistering features of the pandemic recovery, one that weighs directly on households across the country. Rents are rising, groceries are more expensive, and even wage increases aren’t always enough to cover the basics. And households aren’t expecting a quick reprieve. Survey data from the New York Fed showed that in March 2022, U.S. consumers expected 6.6 percent inflation over the next 12 months, up from 6.0 percent in February. That marked the highest reading since the survey began in 2013, and a steep month-to-month jump. The more households and businesses expect prices will climb in the future, the more self-fulfilling inflation can become. Already, policymakers are rushing to get ahold of prices that have turned out to be anything but the temporary wrinkle they predicted for much the pandemic. In mid-March, the Fed launched its first rate hike since the pandemic and penciled in six more to catch up with rising prices in 2022. In the past few weeks, officials have signaled that even more aggressive hikes could come in the next few months. “The expectation going into this year was that we would basically see inflation peaking in the first quarter, then maybe leveling out,” Fed Chair Jerome H. Powell said in March. “That story has already fallen apart. To the extent that it continues to fall apart, my colleagues and I may well reach the conclusion that we’ll need to move more quickly.” In numerous polls, inflation has cast a pall over Biden’s approval ratings, with Republicans Democrats’ sprawling stimulus efforts for the overheating. The White House, for its part, touts its recent moves to lower prices, including through the release of 1 million barrels a day from the nation’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The White House also plans to roll out new policies aimed at attempting to curb gas prices. On Tuesday, Biden will announce plans for the Environmental Protection Agency to allow a blended form of gasoline that uses ethanol, known as E15, to be sold this summer. On Monday, Brian Deese, director of the National Economic Council, said the price of oil has come down slightly but said that “Putin’s price hike” would be reflected in the latest inflation data. “At the end of the day prices are too high, American families are feeling that,” Deese said. “We need to take every action we can to try to make things more affordable and provide some relief as the Fed acts the way we anticipate it will.” Andrew Van Dam contributed to this report.

And the hits just keep on coming. After he has done everything to suppress oil production in the United States because “it’s bad for the environment “ he Biden has decided to allow 15% ethanol in gasoline for the summer. Rather than actually addressing the problem he makes it worse. Ethanol is worse for air quality than pure gasoline and damages engines. Everyday he proves the old saying that if Joe makes a decision it’s going to be the wrong one. BTW most of the article is bullshit propaganda but worth reading. Biden will announce emergency waiver on summer ethanol ban to combat rising gas prices 5:08 AM EDT April 12, 2022 Washington President Joe Biden on Tuesday will announce new steps his administration is taking to address rising gasoline prices across the country, including emergency measures to expand biofuel sales, countering rising energy prices amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The President is slated to announce that the Environmental Protection Agency will issue an emergency waiver permitting year-round sales of E15 gasoline, which contains a 15% ethanol blend, on a trip to Menlo, Iowa, where he'll visit POET Bioprocessing, a biofuels plant that specializes in the creation of bioethanol. The sale of E15 gasoline is usually prohibited from June to mid-September because of air quality concerns. Under former President Donald Trump, the EPA issued an order allowing permanent year-round sales of the biofuel blend in 2019, but the order was overturned last year by the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit. Biden's announcement, a senior administration official said, "is distinct from" his predecessor's efforts to expand ethanol sales in that it's "based on the current circumstance, which is a fuel supply emergency." Per White House estimates, E15 sales could save consumers 10 cents per gallon on average, while reducing reliance on foreign fuels. As part of Tuesday's announcement, the EPA will also take steps to facilitate the expanded use of the biofuel, including outreach to states and modifications to E15 fuel pump labeling at gas stations across the country. During Monday's news briefing, White House press secretary Jen Psaki signaled that suspending the summer ban on gasoline with higher blends of ethanol was on "the menu of options" the administration was considering "to ensure that the supply in the market meets the demand, thus bringing the price down." The move follows Biden's announcement last month of a historic release of oil from US reserves, including 1 million barrels a day from the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve for the next six months as part of a "wartime bridge" to increased oil production as US and global oil efforts ramp back up after the coronavirus pandemic. "The President believes that the actions of a dictator half a world away should not impact what families pay at the pump here at home," the White House said in a fact sheet announcing the action that was shared with CNN. "Today's actions also reinforce the Biden-Harris Administration's goal of achieving real energy independence and commitment to a long-term strategy to spur smart development and adoption of sustainable, homegrown fuels." Still, the administration is stopping short of sanctioning Russian energy exports, with the senior official instead pointing to "a set of actions that we think have generated severe impact on the Russian economy." "We've also in the United States, through the President's action and with support on a bipartisan basis, banned all energy imports from Russia to the United States. We understand that other countries are in a different position. We are obviously in a strong position -- as a net energy exporter -- to do that, though it did have real, real effects and price impacts the President has now been working to mitigate," the official told reporters Monday. The official continued: "But we have taken a strong set of steps when it comes to the effects on the Russian economy, and we're going to continue to work with our partners and allies, as we have, to continue building on that." © 2022 Cable News Network, Inc.

Indeed he has. Inflation is not the be-all and end-all of the economy, and Biden has had very little cause in that... unless you think the American president causes inflation over the entire world, in most places much worse than here.
