Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich has suggested President Joe Biden’s “economic failure” may well be his downfall in November’s presidential election. The long-run consequences of Bidenomics on inflation are “staggering,” Gingrich wrote Thursday, and the prices Americans are paying have “skyrocketed” from the time Joe Biden took office. In just three-and-a-half years, “the price of eggs is up 49.3 percent, gasoline is up 47.5 percent, peanut butter is up 40 percent, butter and margarine are up 32 percent, electricity is up 28.3 percent, airfare is up 32.7 percent, used cars are up 20.9 percent – and the list continues,” Gingrich wrote in reference to this week’s bad economic news that inflation persists while jobs are decaying. Inflation continues to build even after the Federal Reserve pushed interest rates to their highest point in 23 years, Gingrich noted, because the Fed’s restrictive private sector policies are being more than offset by “the Biden administration’s massive deficits.” “While the Fed is trying to take liquidity out of the system and force a slowdown to lower inflation, the Biden administration keeps pumping borrowed money into the economy,” Gingrich added. The American people “feel these price increases, and they are unhappy,” he argued, citing polls showing that most Americans rate the economy as poor, while only 38 percent believe the economy to be in good shape. “So, Bidenomics means rising prices, fewer jobs, more part-time employment, and a desperate sense that things are just not working,” Gingrich summarized, and despite efforts by the mainstream media to sugarcoat the situation, everyday Americans know that “life has gotten harder under Biden.” “Simply put: Bidenomics means you get less for more,” Gingrich concluded, and if this situation persists, “Bidenomics may be Biden’s downfall” come November. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/04/12/newt-gingrich-bidenomics-means-you-get-less-for-more/
More than 1,000 U.S. troops are effectively being held “hostage” in Niger with medical supplies running low — stuck between the military junta-controlled government’s demands for them to leave and the Biden administration’s refusal to let them go home after the end of their deployments, according to a report prepared by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and obtained exclusively by Breitbart News. In addition, the report accuses Biden administration officials of trying to cover up the situation to lawmakers, as well as to troops deployed there and their families anxiously awaiting their return. “Our troops are currently sitting on a powder keg caused by political indecision at the top of the Department of State and Department of Defense. With a military junta in charge — who detests our presence and considers us unserious and predatory — the situation seems to be setting the groundwork for catastrophic diplomatic collapse like we saw during the 2012 Benghazi attack. Additionally, these troops are already running short on necessary, life-saving supplies, such as blood and medications,” the report by Gaetz’s office said. “They are, in effect, hostages of an indecisive Commander-in-Chief,” the report said. Gaetz, during a recent congressional hearing, slammed the Biden administration for leaving U.S. forces in harm’s way. Until the takeover by the junta, the base was a major hub for U.S. intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) against terrorist groups Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State in West Africa, Boko Haram, and Ansaru. It was also a hub for U.S. military advisers supporting Niger’s forces. The U.S. troop presence became threatened after the military junta, known as the Conseil National pour la Sauvegarde de la Patrie (CNSP), or the National Council for the Safeguard of the Fatherland, declared it had taken over the country on July 26, 2023. “This deterioration of diplomatic arrangements has led to our servicemembers being caught in the middle of a standoff between an inept Department of State and a U.S.-trained Nigerian coup-force. President Joe Biden has long had an issue disentangling fact from fiction — and when dealing with facts, the 81-year-old Democrat often gets them wrong. This week, Biden claimed that his uncle, 2nd Lt. Ambrose J. Finnegan Jr., was eaten by cannibals. It is unclear whose story the geriatric president has appropriated on his uncle's behalf, but the U.S. government's official record does not support the story Biden has now elected to tell on at least two occasions. Speaking to reporters a Wilkes-Barre Scranton International Airport in Avoca, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday, Biden said: "Ambrose Finnegan — we called him 'Uncle Bosie' — he — he was shot down. He was Army Air Corps before there was an Air Force. He flew single-engine planes, reconnaissance flights over New Guinea. He had volunteered because someone couldn't make it. He got shot down in an area where there were a lot of cannibals in New Guinea at the time." "They never recovered his body," added Biden. "But the government went back, when I went down there, and they checked and found some parts of the plane and the like." According to the Department of Defense's Prisoner of War/Missing In Action Accounting Agency, Biden's uncle was flying a two-engine Douglas A-20 Havoc medium bomber on May 14, 1944. Whereas the president suggested it had been shot down, the government record indicates the plane "was forced to ditch in the ocean off the north coast" for "unknown reasons." The Associated Press reported that the U.S. government's record of missing service members "does not attribute Finnegan's death to hostile action or indicate cannibals were any factor." @patrician Our world has sunk to a pathetic low. When an incompetent man is seated in the White House only bad things can come of it. @yohanan When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. (Prov. 29:2) Yes, when I first read this article, I wondered if it was true. But now I have seen the same thing in about three different places. He probably really believes his uncle was eaten by cannibals.
