Two-Thirds Of Americans Say Inflation Is Gutting Their Paychecks: POLL
- Continual inflation has hurt Americans, with roughly two-thirds of them reporting their wages cannot keep up, according to the most recent CNBC All-America Economic Survey.
- Only 5% of Americans say their household income is outpacing inflation, with 67% stating it is falling behind and 26% saying it is keeping up, according to CNBC. The vast majority of the public is adjusting their spending habits and lifestyles due to inflation, with 81% saying they are taking measures like reducing entertainment spending and travel or dipping into savings to cover expenses.
- Inflation disproportionately impacted working-class Americans, with 51% saying they are working more in order to get by, according to CNBC. Three-quarters of them report they are reducing entertainment and eating out less.54% of Americans across the board said that the increase in food costs damaged them the most, according to CNBC.
The Stock Market Crash Will Occur Right After the Debt Ceiling Vote
- Interviewer Margaret Brennan and European Central Bank President Christine LaGarde gave the date away during their conversation on “Face the Nation” on April 16:
MARGARET BRENNAN: I want to ask you about the US. And it’s not a political question, it’s an economic one. But there are predictions that the US could default in its national debt as soon as June, some say September, and we have a political standoff in this country, virtually no negotiation happening on how to resolve this. Does that undermine your confidence in the United States? And what message does that send to the world?
MADAME LAGARDE: I have huge confidence in the United States. You know, ever since my year in this country, and this city in ’73, ’74, I have had confidence in this country and I just cannot believe that they would let such a major, major disaster happen of the United States defaulting on its debt….
- The Democrats have scheduled the stock market crash to take place the day that House Republicans vote to not raise the debt ceiling. Right afterwards, the Biden Administration will declare a temporary “default” on the U.S. Debt, the stock market and bond market will immediately crash, and Republicans will be blamed.
- Democrats intentionally did not increase the debt limit when they could have late last year. Perhaps this was to set up what they thought would be a politically useful showdown with Republicans. So eager is Biden to blame Republicans that he has repeatedly resorted to making up a negotiating position for Republicans that he can attack, all the while refusing himself to negotiate.
- Republicans should combine a debt ceiling increase with legislation empowering the president to exercise discretion concerning what to pay the next time the U.S. runs up against the debt ceiling. That way, in future, presidents will be unable to blame Congress for a default on U.S. bonds, and the debt ceiling will become a more potent negotiating leverage point for those who want to restore fiscal sanity to Washington.
- If House Republicans vote to raise the debt ceiling, they will have their chance to cut government spending when they pass a budget, appropriate funds, and authorize spending. In the meantime, Democrats will have taken the blame for the inflation and stock market crash that was caused by their reckless economic policies.

- House Oversight Chairman James Comer revealed SIX ADDITIONAL Biden family members were involved in the Biden Crime Family’s shady overseas business deals.
- “Thousands of pages of financial records related to the Biden family, their companies, and associates’ business schemes were made available to members of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, which confirm the importance of this investigation,” House Oversight Chairman James Comer said in a statement Monday.
- This means a total of at least NINE Biden family members were involved in the Biden Crime Family’s influence peddling and money laundering scheme.
- Kudlow asked Comer if the Biden family members passed the money up to Joe Biden.
- “Stay tuned,” Comer replied. “We’re going to get more bank records in due time.”

- Hunter Biden, ironically, accompanied his father on his trip to Ireland this past week. “Ironically”? Why do you say that? Well, it’s not the first time Joe and Hunter traveled to Ireland together nor is it the most interesting.
- In March 2022, the Washington Post published an article titled “Inside Hunter Biden’s Multimillion-dollar Deals with a Chinese Energy Company.” The article, surprisingly, was a fair assessment of the evidence that has recently been unearthed from emails contained in Hunter’s now-infamous laptop.
-
- In September 2017, Joe Biden traveled to Ireland as a civilian. According to the following emails obtained by MarcoPolo, Joe left on September 11, 2017 on American Airlines Flight 776. Hunter, James, and Jamie Biden would also be on that very same flight, although their itinerary was sent in a separate email.
- On August 21, 2017, prior to their planned departure for Ireland, former assistant to the Vice President (VP) Kathy Chung sent an email titled “Memo on Ireland FP Options” to “Jimmy Biden” and “Hunter Biden”. In it, she stated:
- VP asked me to send this to you. He will choose which meetings he’d like to do while in Ireland. Thanks.
- This was in response to an email to Chung from William Russo, the Director of Public Engagement at the Penn Biden Center where Russo said:
-
- As promised, here’s our action memo for VP on foreign policy engagements in Ireland. Let me know if you need anything else from us on this for now.
- That’s odd that former VP Biden would be traveling to Ireland for “foreign policy engagements” during the subsequent administration. It’s doubtful he was working on behalf of the Trump Administration. Did the foreigners he was meeting with regarding “foreign policy” register as foreign agents in accordance with the Foreign Agents Registration Act?

Title 42 stands between the U.S. and chaos at the border
- Migrants have been masssing at the U.S.-Mexico border waiting for the Title 42 health program to expire on May 11. Why? Once it does, it will create an opportunity for the migrants to cross the border and get a toehold in the United States.
“There are thousands and thousands just waiting for Title 42 to end. I would say a fear is that the Biden admin has no clue just how bad it’s going to get. We can barely actively patrol the border now. When Title 42 ends, all of our resources, all of our little manpower that we do have, are going to be focused on processing. Field work will nearly cease to exist in my opinion,” a Customs and Border Patrol agent working along the southern border told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
YouTube screengrab
- Title 42 was established during the Trump Administration at the beginning of the COVID pandemic. Border officials can automatically refuse entry to migrants who may have been infected by the deadly virus. According to government statistics, 2.5 million potential illegal immigrants have been turned away at the border.

- Elon Musk has been on a tear on Twitter recently, labeling government funded media worldwide as exactly that. On Monday, it was the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s turn to get tagged, and in response, the government lashed out.Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, along with the CBC, took issue with the label, complaining that it was not accurate because the CBC is only 70 percent government funded, supplying 30 percent of their funding from other revenue sources.
- The CBC recieves over $1.2 billion in taxpayer funding every year, yet Trudeau,
In response to a Twitter account suggesting that perhaps the label should be 69 percent to “give them the benefit of the doubt,” Musk agreed.
“Good point,” he said, “generosity is always the right move. 69% it is!”

- Biden tweeted:
- Biden has made the claim regarding guns and children numerous times. He began doing so in the summer of 2022,
- The only way Biden’s claim proves valid is when non-children–voting aged people who are 18 and 19–are counted as children, for the sake of expanding the pool of possible shooting victims.
- when actual children are counted–people aged 0-17–Biden’s claim falls apart.
- Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data shows that the number of firearm related deaths for children 0-17 was 2,281 in 2020, while the number of motor vehicle deaths for the same ages was 2,503.
- Moreover, Breitbart News noted that Biden does not mention that even in the expanded age range of 0-19, CDC numbers show unintentional motor vehicle deaths were 27 times higher than unintentional firearm-related deaths.

- It was not long ago when MSM headlines were all about how Russia was to blame for starving people around the world as a result of Ukraine farming shortages caused by war. As the narrative was told, specifically as it reflected in massive food inflation, the EU and corporate media said the global grain market was missing the farm output from Ukraine, ergo grain prices skyrocketed; ie. Russia bad.
- Well, how does this story reconcile with that narrative? According to Reuters reporting, the EU is telling all member states they must take massive shipments of grain and excessive grain commodities into their country even if it collapses the market price. Poland and Hungary said they don’t want the excessive harvest outputs; the EU is telling them they must take them.
- Funny how that global famine narrative now disappears under the weight of excessive commodity outputs from Ukraine. Farming output going well in Ukraine. Weirdest war outcome ever. lolol
- WARSAW, April 16 (Reuters) –
- Old narrative “Russia is starving the world”… New narrative “Excessive Ukraine harvests must be accepted”… Any questions?

Roger Marshall (R-Ky.), a member of the Senate Health Committee, who chairs the Subcommittee on Primary Health and Retirement Security.
- The report states that the “preponderance of information supports the plausibility of an unintentional research-related incident that likely resulted from failures of biosafety containment during SARS-CoV-2 vaccine-related research.”
