It’s always interesting to listen to enough mainstream media to find out what the catch phrase of the day is. When Dick Cheney was appointed as George W. Bush’s Vice-President, the phrase was ‘gravitas.’ I can’t prove that the mainstream media has an online meeting early every morning to plan the news for the day, but I can say that it sure looks that way. Even Wikipedia has an entry for Operation Mockingbird<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Two of the current phrases of the day are ‘Putin’s tax on food and gas’ and ‘Putin’s inflation.’ I am not sure the American public actually believes either one.<\/p>\n

On Friday, The Western Journal<\/a> noted the following:<\/p>\n

President Joe Biden<\/a> is continuing to blame inflation on Russian President Vladimir Putin<\/a> more than three months into Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

During an event on Friday, Biden addressed the latest inflation report as he said, \u201cI understand Americans are anxious. And they\u2019re anxious for good reason.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI was raised in a household when the price of gasoline rose precipitously it was the discussion at the table. It made a difference,\u201d he continued.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Finally, Biden said, \u201cWe\u2019ve never seen anything like Putin\u2019s tax on both food and gas.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Actually, inflation arrived before Putin invaded Ukraine, but that is what you call an inconvenient truth.<\/p>\n

The article notes:<\/p>\n

From the outset of Russia\u2019s war on Ukraine, Biden officials have blamed the \u201cPutin price hike<\/a>\u201d for the spikes Americans were seeing in gas and food prices \u2014 even though inflation had hit a 40-year-high in the months <\/a>leading up to the invasion.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Biden\u2019s comments come after the latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that inflation accelerated in May.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The\u00a0consumer price index rose 8.6%\u00a0<\/a>in May compared to the same month last year, marking the fastest pace of price increases since Dec. 1981.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s much easier to blame Putin than to take responsibility for the runaway government spending that has occurred since President Biden took office. Look for more catch phrases of the day as inflation continues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
