President JoeBiden is on two new records this week: Inflation is at a decadeslong high, and his approval rating is the worst yet. Conservative grader JedBabbin handed the president an 'F,' while pollster ZogbyStrategies gave Biden a 'C-.'
On Friday, the inflation rate was announced at an unexpectedly high 8.6%, but polls show that many people feel it is much higher since they are paying about 50% more for gas and 20% more for food. Biden blamed the war in Ukraine and Russian President Vladimir Putin, but few were buying it.
The average national gasoline price went to $5 a gallon, accompanied by an inflation rate that is the worst since 1981. Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris starred at the Summit of the Americas, which accomplished nothing other than a promise by Biden to help Brazil reduce deforestation of the Amazon basin.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Marshals, fortunately, thwarted an assassination attempt outside Associate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home. The Senate passed a special bill to protect the judges about two weeks ago, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is blocking its passage. I believe he is trying valiantly to place blame for inflation on"Vladimir Putin's War" and COVID-19 supply chain problems, but the prices at the dairy counter and at the pump just won't go away. He may get a victory on some gun legislation, but it will probably be a toothless compromise that will satisfy no one.
