Note: 10 cents not 10 percent
Please pray tell what the $%^& can you buy with 10 cents nowadays? With a 15 gallon car tank the $1.50 won't even buy a Diet Coke in many stores
Some off-the-cuff Math.
Trump's
Drill Here, Drill Now. Pipeline delivery.
American with surplus Oil and even exporting.
87 (90/10) Octane Gas $2.17+/- (4-year avg).
Biden/LSD Coup
No Drilling Here, No Pipeline get it somewhere else that takes 2+ X more fuel to deliver it to the USA from overseas.
87 (90/10) Octane Gas $3.59+/- (18 monthavg).
87 (85/15) Octane Gas Estimate cost $3.29+/-.
As I see it JB and the LSD coup owes us $1 per Gallon, not a 10 cent rebate.

Blow up gas 500 cents, cast some spell which won't work, and get people excited about a potential 490 cent increase instead, and that is a win.

Well that's just the classics revisited. The following propaganda conclusions....well...

Lower prices by using more ethanol:
1. Use food for a potentially starving world/nation to make ethanol.
2. My vehicle which gets 40mpg cannot use 15% ethanol.
3. Bitexone is an idiot!

Not as crazy as the inline suggests. If Joe does run again, I predict he the people running the show will select a VP who will be sold as a "centrist uniter." Needless to say, that would not be a balck ghey womyn.
Willard would be the plastic prototype of that. I think back in the day, the political term was doughface.

The RINO in Chief. should have retired ages ago.
With his constant selling out of America he should be Mega $$$$$$ rich by now.

He has made an excellent plan. Unfortunately, no one will vote for him. Mitt is timing his final retirement based on when Al Gore and John Kerry tap out so he be assured of a first ballot election into the Irrelevant HOF.

[BREITBART] Restaurants across the nation are cutting specific promotions and reworking menu specials amid record inflation levels.
Food prices were up 7.9 percent in February compared to one year ago, and March’s numbers are expected to continue the upward trend when they are released Tuesday.
After one year’s worth of rising inflation, consumers across the country are swapping expensive items for cheaper counterparts, causing retail stores and restaurants to rethink their sales and menu deals.
In January, Beef ’O’ Brady’s CEO Chris Elliott removed the restaurant’s renowned surf and turf special from the menu after seeing signs that consumers were being impacted by rising inflation.
"People are looking for deals; they’re getting hammered everywhere — at the gas station, at the grocery store," Elliot said.

A friend of mine owns a bar and he pointed out that he cut out "prime rib night" because the cost of the dinner just got past what people would pay. OTOH, he had to keep wings on the menu, even though they are up to $25.00 / dozen. Some stuff, if people want it, they'll pay no matter what and complain bitterly if they can't order it.
Oh, and then they do complain about the price while they chew.

Middle Eastern GA.
Average 2-person Franchise dining out costs $45-50.
Area buffets $16 to $19 per person.
Mom & Pop diners $16+ per person.
The Wahoo's/Hippo's at buffets are having to stay longer to fill up and keep the 350+ LBS on.

Not too long ago, customer:
"I simply cannot find this size of thing, can you try for me?"
Spend some 60minutes work time, find the leprechaun. Literally do not mark it up even for time spent.
"Gagh, not at that price!"
So I mark it up and eat it until it is a good price. Not a big deal, but would be on a big order; that instance literally changed my special order policy.
[NTD] At least 20 FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives "assets" were embedded around the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, a defense attorney wrote in a court filing on April 12.
The disclosure was made in a motion seeking to dismiss seditious conspiracy and obstruction charges against 10 Oath Keepers defendants in one of the most prominent Jan. 6 criminal cases.
David W. Fischer, attorney for Thomas E. Caldwell of Berryville, Virginia, filed a 41-page motion to dismiss four counts on behalf of all Oath Keepers case defendants before U.S. District Judge Amit P. Mehta in Washington, D.C.
Caldwell is charged in the indictment, but is not a member of the Oath Keepers, he told The Epoch Times in March.
“At least 20 FBI and ATF assets were embedded around the Capitol on J6,” read a footnote on Page 6 of the motion. No other details were provided in the document.
The footnote said defense attorneys “combed through a mountain of discovery,” including FBI form 302 summaries of interviews conducted by FBI agents.
In addition to the information about law-enforcement assets on the ground at the Capitol, the footnote says, the Oath Keepers “were being monitored and recorded prior to J6.”
Poring over evidence turned over in discovery by prosecutors in two major Oath Keepers cases has “not found one iota of proof” that defendants “had any plan, intention, design, or scheme to specifically enter the Capitol Building on J6,” the motion said.
Fischer told The Epoch Times he could not comment on the motion or provide more details on the footnote.
Since the first arrests of Jan. 6 defendants in early 2021, there has been extensive speculation and questions from attorneys, defendants, case observers, and members of Congress about the role law enforcement played that day.
During a Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing on Jan. 11, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) grilled top FBI officials on the subject.
“How many FBI agents or confidential informants actively participated in the events of Jan. 6?” Cruz asked Jill Sanborn, executive assistant director of the FBI’s national security branch.
“Sir, I’m sure you can appreciate that I can’t go into the specifics of sources and methods,” Sanborn said.
Cruz replied, “Did any FBI agents or confidential informants actively participate in the events of Jan. 6, yes or no?”
“Sir, I can’t answer that,” Sanborn said.
“Did any FBI agents or confidential informants commit crimes of violence on Jan. 6?” Cruz asked.
“I can’t answer that, sir,” Sanborn replied.
Jeremy M. Brown, an Oath Keepers member from Florida who was charged with two Jan. 6-related counts but is not part of either major Oath Keepers conspiracy case, told The Epoch Times earlier this year that the FBI unsuccessfully tried to recruit him in 2020 to spy on the group.
Brown said the same agents who later arrested him for alleged Jan. 6 crimes tried to recruit him on Dec. 11, 2020, to become a confidential informant. He refused. He was arrested on Sept. 30, 2021, when dozens of federal agents swarmed his Florida property.
“When asked by me and my girlfriend to produce the warrants at the time of arrest, they refused to produce them,” Brown said. “One agent was even recorded stating, ‘We don’t know what we are looking for yet.’ They should look for a copy of the Constitution and read it.”

Were those the guys moving the barriers out of the way and using megaphones to urge the crowd onto "restricted property"?
[THEBLUESTATECONSERVATIVE] But then after the election, the narrative began to unravel. The lead FBI agent, Richard Trask, who signed the charging documents under oath, was fired from the FBI. He had been arrested for assaulting his wife after a drunken swinger’s party.
A few months later, two more agents were removed from the witness list. Special Agent Jayson Chambers was removed from the case because it was discovered that he was attempting to profit from the case. He was launching a private security firm, which would benefit from his work on the Whitmer case.
Special Agent Henrik Impola was also removed from the case after he had been accused of perjuring himself on another case. Apparently, the FBI found it easier to remove him than defend him.

They threw it at the wall and it didn't stick. I doubt they will pick it up and try again, but they will learn from their "mistakes" in future such orchestrated miscarriages of justice.

See 6 January "Washington insurrection" for expanded, full scale example.

I think the difference between the two is that the feebs spent a lot of time creating their case here. On Jan 6, they opportunistically grabbed up a bunch of hapless, ill-advised poeple and are letting the injustice department create the crime after the fact in court, the wall where ultimately that which is flung must stick.

BTW, I am glad I visited Washington DC for the dedication of the WW II memorial. Huge crowds and no indictments. I think the only way I will ever go back is on a walker to watch them put pretty much every politician from the Clinton era onward up against a wall.

Can we still such proceedings, "Kangaroo Courts"
or is that insulting Kangaroos too much?
Either way, if the Mid-Term outcomes are honest, this time. Maybe Congress will hold DOJ personnel investigation hearings.
With the goal of flushing out those that use Political Agenda to make arrests, prosecution and sentencing thus violating the Bill Of Rights and US Constitutionally based Laws.

Re#5, If the mid term elections come out like the last shit show, I don't think some people are going to give a shit about the DOJ, FBI or any of the rest of the governments bullshit orgs. When you can't eat, work, and have to sit at home and hear the nonsense on the news everyday, what do you have to lose?

The Weirdos had this called fairly quickly, but credit because The Narrative current was strong.
[HOT AIR] It’s not the first time that Joe Manchin has gotten crosswise with the White House on messaging, but it might be the most dramatic example yet. The Biden team started off their record-inflation day by helpfully reminding everyone that criticism of Joe Biden amounted to lèse majesté, and maybe even treason:
It’s been a long, strange trip from "dissent is patriotic" and "the resistance" on the Left to "criticizing our Dear Leader is treasonous," eh? The criticism in this case is well earned, especially for the gaslighting attempts to claim that inflation only became a problem when Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine. As the above chart shows, annualized inflation went above the 2% target used by the Federal Reserve immediately after the passage of Biden’s bloated American Rescue Act in March 2021, and with the exception of a short pause in the late spring has been accelerating ever since.
No lesser figure than Barack Obama’s lead economic adviser made the same point in much more granularity. Jason Furman’s Twitter thread pointed out some reasons for limited optimism, but also emphasized that inflation in the US has not just been accelerating for a year, but that it’s outpaced EU inflation to boot:
But I feel it is the way the LSD's Coup and the RINO's used the Pandemic to go all out in Pork Spending, donor paybacks which all further bankrupt the USA, that has caused the inflation.
Because while FJB is a good figurehead to blame.
We all know his Happy Meal isn't just a few fries short and it is his handlers handing him what to sign.

Economics 101. Wildly expansionist fiscal and monetary policies lead to inflation. For the econ majors among us, remember MV = PQ.
