Oh, I do

Reason: "Blame Insane Government Spending for Inflation" - "Some want to solve the problem with subsidies for gas, housing, child care, and more. That only risks greater stagnation." 

Welcome to the party, pal!

Timely reporting from the Democracy Dies in Darkness crowd: "Washington Post: Some of the material on Hunter Biden's laptop is definitely real." 

Extra - Powerline: "Hunter Biden: First the Times, now the Post."

For the record, I don't even care about Hunter Biden.  All I want is the mainstream media to apply the same standards to both sides of the political spectrum.  FFS, they don't even try to hide their bias anymore.

More - National Review: "Recuse Yourself, Joe Biden." - "If we’re going to create transparently idiotic, partisan standards on the fly, they should be applied to everyone in government." 

Maybe we should have listened to Larry

This is an article back in November 2021: "Biden's Truly Reckless Spending Will Likely Be His Undoing."

With a full $1 trillion in prior federal emergency relief still unspent upon his taking office, Biden nonetheless pushed through the so-called American Rescue Plan, an additional purely partisan $1.9 trillion COVID-19 spending package.

In total then, the U.S. government spent more than 30% of the country's annual total economic output to try to stimulate the economy. This was unchartered territory. Many on both sides of the political aisle warned at the time that all this government spending could overheat the economy. Larry Summers, Treasury secretary under President Bill Clinton and National Economic Council director under President Barack Obama, summarized the concerns succinctly: "While there are enormous uncertainties, there is a chance that macroeconomic stimulus on a scale closer to World War II levels than normal recession levels will set off inflationary pressures of a kind we have not seen in a generation, with consequences for the value of the dollar and financial stability ... Stimulus measures of the magnitude contemplated are steps into the unknown."

Which leads to this, today: "Former Obama Economic Advisor Larry Summers: We're Heading for 1970s Stagflation and a Major Recession."  

Larry Summers was wrong about one thing: inflation is the highest it's been in two generations.

So I guess the "Will Smith Celebrity Roast" is off

What a wild show.  I had the TV on but muted and eventually I looked up to see Will Smith yelling and Lupita Nyong'o looking very uncomfortable.  The United States feed was censored but not the international feed and all the best videos showed up this morning.

This stupid idea never dies

Hot Air: "Biden: You're just going to love my plan to punish the successful."

The centerpiece of this legislation is the "unrealized assets tax" that takes the value of stock you didn't cash out and slaps a tax on the "income" you made.  Never - ever - explained is what happens if your investments decrease in value.  Do you get a rebate then?

This is likely unconstitutional and it will never pass Congress anyway.  It's just raw meat for the Elizabeth Warren and AOC loons.

"He came, he saw, he confused"

NY Post: "President Biden’s Putin speech in Poland is a catastrophe."

Don't sell Brandon short: this entire trip has been a disaster. 

Here we go again

This tough-guy clown Biden is going to start World War 3: "Biden says Putin ‘cannot remain in power’ as he assures Ukraine: ‘We stand with you’."

It appeared to be the first time Biden has explicitly called for Putin’s removal and would mark a sharp contrast from prior statements from the White House, which have emphasized that regime change in Russia is not the policy of the United States.

Shortly after Biden's address however, the White House denied that Biden was calling for regime change.

"The President’s point was that Putin cannot be allowed to exercise power over his neighbors or the region. He was not discussing Putin’s power in Russia, or regime change," a White House official told Fox News Digital shortly after the speech concluded.

I can think of another country desperately in the need of regime change.

Extra - Twitchy: "‘Unbelievable’! WH flacks grab mops for more clean-up duty after Biden’s comment about Putin."

For as much as Biden claims he doesn’t want WWIII, he’s about to stumble us into it with his extraordinary sloppiness.

Clean-up on aisle Biden

Red State: "Biden Just Stuck His Foot Straight in His Mouth in a Way That Could Set off WWIII."

For not the first time, the White House communication office had to say "ignore what that guy just said."

Keep digging

Reason: "The Biden Administration Is Ignoring How Its Policies Will Worsen Inflation. Again." 

Democracy dies with dumbasses

Journalists: "Our credibility has hit rock-bottom."

Washington Post: "Hold my beer."

Hot Air: "WaPo editors: KBJ got treated worse than Brett Kavanaugh, you know."

This entire editorial is intellectually bankrupt. It’s the kind of commentary we’d expect to see on TikTok, not from serious analysts and especially not from news editors that actually covered the Kavanaugh hearings. It should linger in the air like a permanent boof over the offices of the Washington Post and embarrass everyone connected to the newspaper.

I'm pretty sure they're incapable of shame at this point.

Extra - Federalist: "Washington Post Says Asking KBJ Questions About Her Legal Rulings Is Worse Than Falsely Accusing Kavanaugh Of Rape" - "The Post’s commentaries on Jackson are not only patently false but their phony claims about her confirmation hearing deserve endless taunting." 

Decades of foreign policy "experience"

PJ Media: "Joe Biden and World War III for Dummies"

This is when wise Western leadership — an unfunny joke these days, I know — would be taking Sun Tzu’s ancient advice to heart.

“Build your opponent a golden bridge to retreat across,” he told winning generals.

In other words: When the other guy is effectively beaten but still needs to keep his dignity intact, offer him a gracious way out. You never know how much fight he might have left in him, or what desperate-stupid thing he might try if you insist on pushing him too hard.

Not warring is almost always better than warring, particularly in the case of Ukraine, which is Not. Our. War.

Can you guess what Presidentish Joe Biden is doing instead?

Tough guy Joe loves to be a tough guy.  Just ask Corn Pop.

Extra fun - Always remember "Biden has been on wrong side of foreign policy issues for decades."

Oh that's just Russian propaganda, they lied

Tablet: "Invasion of the Fact-Checkers" - "Who are you going to believe, the Democratic Party’s new official-unofficial, public-private monopoly tech platform censorship brigade, or your misinformed, disinformed eyes?" 

That's not a crack pipe.  It's a "slender glass tube," the fact-checkers declared. 

Huh, I did not see this coming

Just kidding.  Red State: "Democrats Call Republican Senators Racist for Treating Ketanji Jackson Like Everyone Else."

No news if she's been accused of sexual assault but she was asked about being a religious nut.  And she pretty much lied about critical race theory.  But nobody cares because she checks all those Kamala Harris boxes, and that's all that matters.

Absolute clown show

National Review: "Washington Post Attempts to Justify Media Suppression of Hunter Biden-Laptop Story." - "One of the main reasons that the mainstream press is so utterly lost these days is that the mainstream press does not know that it is utterly lost these days. See, for a good example, this preposterous post-rationalization of the reaction to the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story that has been put together by the Washington Post’s Philip Bump."

Just take the "L," mainstream media.  You destroyed your own credibility - stop digging.

What's Russian for "OMG"?

Hot Air: "Did the true number of Russian troop deaths in Ukraine just leak?"

Here are the guesses in the article:

United States intelligence: 7000

This pro-Kremlin newspaper in the article: 9861

A Russia-intercepted communication, per the Ukrainians: 12814

Yeesh.  That's a lot of dead soldiers in such a short amount of time.

On par with El Salvador

The Youtube channel "Economics Explained" does great videos including reviews and rankings of countries' economic power.  The takeaway from this video is that Russia's economy was already pathetic before they turned themselves into a pariah state with the invasion of Ukraine:

The NYT discovers free speech

When they're not busy trying to bury news harmful to Democrats, the New York Times occasionally reveals some integrity.  Reason: "The New York Times Admits That 'America Has a Free Speech Problem'."

By now, it should be impossible to ignore the ill effects of free-speech hostility; what appeared to begin on elite college campuses has spread to broader society and is agitating for a world where the act of dissenting from progressive orthodoxy is treated as violence—and thus can be met with force. Indeed, colleges campuses continue to provide some of the most palpable examples of this phenomenon: Earlier this month, Yale Law School students shouted down a conservative speaker and a liberal one—as well as the school's own officials—in order to prevent a discussion about a recent Supreme Court case. (David Lat, an attorney, legal commentator, and Yale graduate, described the incident as "much worse" than many people know.) The student activists' philosophy is by now familiar to everyone who has paid attention to higher education for the past decade: Speech that perturbs progressives or their allies is illegitimate and should be prevented.

Your speech is violence, but their violence is speech.

It committed suicide a long time ago

Fox Business: "Hunter Biden story is the 'death of journalism': Doug Collins" - "New York Times confirms legitimacy of Hunter Biden's laptop, emails." 

China starts their pivot

Hot Air: "Hmmmmm: Chinese media now airing evidence of Russian atrocities." 

Also right all along

The NY Post is taking a well-deserved victory lap: "Now that Joe Biden’s president, the Times finally admits: Hunter’s laptop is real."
