    Over the course of my life I've found that liberals tend to think with their heart rather than their brain.

    Liberals didn't see inflation coming? Please.





    White House Says It Was Surprised by Inflation Jump


    The White House admitted Friday they were surprised by the rise in consumer prices in March, the largest jump since 2008.


    “So we hadn’t forecasted that. The forecasters hadn’t expected that,” White House Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers Cecilia Rouse said, adding the Federal Reserve was also “a bit surprised by the jump.”


    Rouse spoke to reporters at the White House press briefing Friday, offering some analysis of the recent bad economic numbers for the economy.


    She argued part of the jump in consumer prices was a result of a month-to-month spike in used car sales. Used car prices jumped by 10 percent in April compared with March and up 21 percent from a year ago.


    “We know that because of the American Rescue Plan, people were buying cars because many people were afraid of taking public transit, which is not good either,” Rouse said.


    She also cited a 10 percent price increase in airline tickets, as more people were looking at traveling in the Summer.


    Rouse told reporters to expect “some choppiness” in the economic numbers as the country continued to recover from the coronavirus pandemic.


    “We’ve never had a recession that was not tied to a problem in the economy but that was tied to a health problem,” she said. “And so there’s even uncertainty about the recovery because our recovery is hitched to the virus.”

    I can predict the future:

    Soon the headline will read: White House surprised that 401k's are now worthless.


    Or: Whitehouse surprised that ISIS has built back bigger and stronger.

    Or: Whitehouse surprised that Green New Jobs are failing to materialize..

    President Biden on Friday signed an executive order revoking two measures issued by former President Donald Trump last summer in response to protests against racial injustice that targeted monuments of controversial Americans.

    Biden's order revokes multiple Trump actions, including one that prioritized punishment for those caught vandalizing statues or monuments, as well as an order that established a "National Garden of American Heroes" that called for erecting statues of hundreds of prominent Americans.

    The order signed Friday also revokes a May 2020 order signed by Trump that directed federal agencies to review Section 230, a law that provides protections to social media companies. The move came as Trump and his allies fumed over social media censorship when Twitter began flagging the then-president's false tweets about mail voting and incendiary comments around the racial injustice protests.

    All three orders were signed by Trump during the summer of 2020 as protests took place around the country in response to the murder of George Floyd by a police officer who knelt on Floyd's neck for nearly nine minutes.

    Maxine Waters Accused of Abusing 'Numerous Government Resources Inappropriately' in Ethics Complaint

    An ethics complaint filed against Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters of California claims she misused government resources during her controversial trip to Minnesota while the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was ongoing.
    Waters is accusing of misusing her ability to request protection from federal air marshals on an April 17 flight to Minneapolis, according to Fox News.
    That was the same date that Waters appeared at a Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, protest and said demonstrations need to be stepped up if Chauvin was not convicted of the charges against him — which he later was.

    “We’ve got to stay on the street and we’ve got to get more active, we’ve got to get more confrontational. We’ve got to make sure that they know that we mean business,” she said then, according to Fox News.
    That comment was later cited by the judge of the Chauvin trial as grounds for Chauvin’s defense to claim a mistrial on appeal. The comment also sparked an attempt by House Republicans to censure Waters, which failed when House Democrats closed ranks to defeat the motion.

    That day, Waters traveled with two armed Capitol Police officers and two U.S. Secret Service agents but wanted more, asking for two air marshals and two more federal marshals to escort her through the airport, according to Fox.
    “Congresswoman Maxine Waters utilized numerous government resources inappropriately,” a complaint filed with the House Ethics Committees reads.

    “Federal Air Marshals were removed from a ‘High Risk’ flight to cover Ms. Waters flight to Minnesota. The High Risk flight took off with no armed law enforcement on board leaving a gap in National Security,” the complaint said.
    “Air marshals can only be assigned to high-risk flights. That means flights that have been deemed through our vetted process that have a security risk,” Sonya Hightower LoBasco, the executive director of the Air Marshal National Council, said.

    “When these processes are violated and they’re taken advantage of and they are just tossed to the side now as if they don’t matter, we’re really looking into creating a major problem for ourselves in the aviation domain.”
    She said having air marshals accompany the congresswoman left a hole elsewhere.
    “Air marshals for Miss Waters trip were assigned high risk missions, they were removed from those missions and assigned to Miss Waters mission on top of her already armed security detail from the Capitol Police,” she said.

    “That was not an official business trip. We still don’t have any justification as to why government resources were utilized to fly Miss Waters out to Minnesota.”
    “How do you go out and promote defunding the police then call for more police protection,” LaBosco added, according to Judicial Watch.

    The Transportation Security Administration said that protecting lawmakers as they travel became paramount after the Jan. 6 Capitol incursion.
    “Following the events of January 6th at the U.S. Capitol, the Transportation Security Administration enhanced security and law enforcement presence throughout the transportation system to include airports and aboard aircraft to protect the traveling public, including Members of Congress,” TSA said in a statement, Fox reported.

    But there is a limit, according to David Londo — the president of the Air Marshal National Council.
    “Placing [federal air marshals] on aircraft simply because a member of Congress requests it is an egregious misuse of government resources,” he said in an April 20 complaint to the Department of Homeland Security Inspector General.
    “The FAMs are now taking agents off of regularly scheduled ‘high risk’ flights to put them on flights with members of Congress, that in most cases have their own armed federal security details onboard already. It has become akin to a type of extremely expensive concierge service for Congressional members.”
