Bill Maher said,
“It’s interesting.
Because I keep reading about the Build Back Better bill.
They want — we can’t — we don’t have enough workers, even if we passed it tomorrow.
And because of all these supply chain problems, we don’t have building supplies.
So, how are we going to build back better if we have no workers and no supplies?”

^^^ and all of the above mentioned "no workers and no supplies?” is made worse by printing $3.5 TRILLION new dollars. Flooding the world with dollars isn't the answer.

Dimocraps: "Well it has always worked for us before." Then a Republican gets elected and has to spend their first term just unfucking the system, that is if the Republican is decent and not a God Damn RINO.

So when the definition of inflation is too many dollars chasing too few goods, the solution by the Dem's is to inject $3+ trillion more into an economy that's already suffering from way too many dollars and supply chains that are damaged and unable to supply anywhere close to the volume of materials being demanded. This is not an attempt to 'fix' anything, its an attempt IMO to completely collapse the US economy.

This just in...

Biden Again Begs OPEC+ To Ramp-Up Oil Production

https://www.zerohedge.com/ener...-ramp-oil-production

With oil prices reaching multi-year highs (and expected to go higher), White House officials are reportedly "closely monitoring" the cost of gasoline (and likely also the President's approval rating).

Having failed to stem the tide of soaring 'flation' in everything we eat and now the cost of heating/driving, Reuters reports that The White House is once again reiterating - likely in a strongly worded email - its urging of OPEC+ to increase crude production.

White House officials say "they are using every tool to address anti-competitive practices in US and global energy markets."

They have raised the concern at a senior level with several members of the OPEC+ alliance, according to the official.

Well if that is true, they are failing miserably (and what would Greta and AOC say about demanding more fossil fuel output?)

One thing of note, why doesn't the Biden admin unleash another executive order demanding that US crude producers ramp up their production? (intervening in free markets for energy has been going so well so far)...

As a reminder, President Biden said he was calling on OPEC to boost oil output (to implicitly cut prices of crude and thus gasoline) on August 11th. Then followed up with a threat to release the SPR on Oct 7th...

Things have gone just a little bit turbo from then.

Increased gas prices at the pump are already baked in for the next few weeks, given where crude and wholesales gasoline prices have moved recently...

Could it be possible that OPEC just doesn't care what the Biden admin wants?

As respected energy market (and geopolitical) observe Daniel Yergin told Bloomberg this morning, "the Biden admin doesn't have many tools on energy prices."

President Two Scoops says he's gonna mambo dogface to the banana patch.

White House throws up its hands at new questions on Hunter Biden’s ‘art’ scam

https://nypost.com/2021/10/10/...ter-bidens-art-scam/

“I’d refer to the gallerist for questions,” huffed White House press secretary Jen Psaki last week in non-answer to reporters asking about Hunter Biden’s star-studded Los Angeles art show. Meaning: President Biden can’t bother to make his son observe basic ethical rules.

Though Hunter’s dealer seems worried: The next day, he pushed back the Gotham debut. Maybe he was responding to new signs suggesting taxpayers may be helping foot the bill for the first son’s latest grift.

For months, the White House claimed that because Manhattan art broker Georges Bergès promised not to reveal the identities of those who pony up the $75,000 to $500,000 asking prices for works by the “self-taught” painter, collectors can’t possibly buy the prez’s influence. But his LA opening proved the preposterousness of that:. A couple hundred guests nibbled finger foods and quaffed vino alongside such celebs as musician Moby, boxer Sugar Ray Leonard and Eric Garcetti, LA mayor and the prez’s pick for ambassador to India.

“Should we expect to see more people who seek jobs in this administration attending events like this in the future?” CBS News Radio’s Steven Portnoy asked Psaki Wednesday.

“Well, to be clear, we’ve spoken to the arrangement that is run by the gallerist and Hunter Biden’s representatives that the White House provided suggestions for. I’d refer to the gallerist for questions about the event as well as the representatives of Mr. Garcetti in terms of his attendance,” Psaki blustered.

Portnoy noted, “This is exactly what ethicists said they were worried about.”

Psaki played dumb: “What is, specifically? That he reportedly attended an event?” And, answering similar questions: “I’d point you to the gallerist on the specifics of the restrictions that were put in place,” Psaki said.

As Mother Jones pointed out, the potential patrons weren’t even looking at originals, just prints. Still, at least five sold before the show for $75K each, The Post learned, while Bergès has postponed the planned October opening in his Soho gallery to spring and lawyers will be “vetting” attendees.

Bergès’ gallery has just two employees, but he’s received $500,000 in Small Business Administration COVID “disaster assistance loans,” far more than the 100-plus other galleries in that congressional district — $350,000 of it OK’d after his client’s dad took office. And he wouldn’t answer The Post’s questions on whether the Bidens helped him secure the cash and if Hunter has benefited from it.

We look forward to seeing the Bidens’ enablers in the press and politics try to pretend this stench is just more “Russian disinformation.”

.....

Maybe if we un-reverse some of the policies that brought us to energy independence and made us the top oil producer on the planet during the last administration, then we wouldn't have to beg cartels for more dino juice.

As Apollo Creed would say, "Ding, ding".

It was all a production. Like everything they do.

All five children who appeared with Kamala Harris in her first YouTube space series that was released last week were child actors.

They all auditioned and were selected over several other child actors.

It’s not a presidency, it’s a production.

“All five of them are actors,” Bernardino’s father, Carlo, told the Washington Examiner in an interview Monday.

“He’s a child actor — he’s been trying to do this type of thing for a while.
And so he has a manager and an agent in LA and they send him castings,” Bernardino said.
“This was a casting call, a very specific one where he had to write essentially a monologue about what he’s really passionate about and he wrote a monologue about the environment.”

I thought that may be obvious considering the over the top acting.

Chicken Dinner, sir.....

On OPEC helping us out, where was Biden in 73-74 and 79-80? In his basement?

Wow, the Politico (who typically cheerleads for and runs interference for any Democrat POTUS) is clearly in panic mode over Dementia Joe, this is just the past two days:


‘The president’s decline is alarming’: Biden trapped in coronavirus malaise

Dems thought giving voters cash was the key to success. So what happened? The benefits were handed out. But they don’t seem to be translating politically. In some cases, voters don’t even credit Biden for them.
