The "American Rescue Plan Act of 2021", which was the third Covid stimulus bill, threw 1.9 trillion in cash into the economy, and was passed and signed by Biden in March 2021.  One consequence of that was turbo-charging inflation. So for Biden to blame the underlying condition entirely on Trump is disingenuous as hell.  However....

Back in December 2020, Trump himself pushed Congress to pass a massive stimulus bill in December 2020 that would have included $2000 stimulus checks, but McConnell opposed it as too expensive and killed it. So sure, we can and should blame Biden.  The problem is that Trump wanted to pass a bill even bigger than the one Biden eventually passed, so Trump has no room to talk in terms of blaming Biden for inflation.  Here's Trump slamming McConnell for not approving that larger stimulus bill in December 2020:

Yup

Both Trump and Biden share part of the blame equally on inflation

And some still wonder why some of us refuse to vote for more of that

District Attorney Pamela Price Faces Recall in November

Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price could be getting the boot in November. The prosecutor, known for her lenient approach to violent crime, is set to face a recall vote later this month.
 

The recall effort has gained momentum over the past year due to her policies, which seem to prioritize protecting violent criminals instead of the people they harm. The outcry from the community has been fierce, which could spell trouble for the embattled DA.

The Alameda County Board of Supervisors selected the November general election for the date when voters will decide whether to recall Democratic District Attorney Pamela Price.

The board of supervisors voted 3-0 during a meeting on Tuesday to set the recall vote for Nov. 5 rather than a special election after the recall effort was confirmed during a previous meeting.

Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico is a visionary hero of Europe. He even knew that his populist policies could lead to an attempt on his life as you can see here. The perp who was apprehended in the assassination attempt even admitted that he shot Fico because he disagreed with his policies. An assassination attempt that came just days after Fico rejected the WHO pandemic accord. In addition, Fico also told the NATO Secretary General to his face that the slaughter in the killing fields of Ukraine must stop. The globalist media has been attempting to paint Fico as some sort of dangerous right-winger yet Fico is the one who wants peace and see that the senseless proxy war be brought to an end.

So, yeah, Fico was definitely shot for obviously political reasons.

A pro-Trump demonstrator released nearly 100 penis-shaped balloons with the faces of Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, Judge Merchan and other foes of the ex-president on them outside the NYC courthouse.

Other balloons feature images of Jack Smith who brought charges against Trump in his federal election interference and mishandling of classified documents cases.

It is unclear who released the balloons at this time.

“The point he was making is that the factors that caused inflation were in place when he walked into the administration,” she said. “The pandemic caused inflation around the world by disrupting our economy and breaking our supply chains.”

Fico doesn't like Ukraine's Zelenskyy, so the media call him "Pro Putin."  I think that might be a bit of a leap.

Former Diversity Program Manager Who Lived Luxurious Lifestyle Jailed For $5 Million Fraud
Leave a Comment / By Shay Bottomley / May 16, 2024

A former diversity program manager at Facebook and Nike has been jailed for stealing more than $5 million in a scheme involving fake vendors, made-up paperwork, and cash kickbacks.

Barbara Furlow-Smiles, 38, of Marietta, Georgia, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Steven D. Grimberg to five years and three months in prison, followed by three years’ supervised release. She was also ordered to pay $5,102,838.08 to the impacted companies, the bulk of which was to Facebook.

From January 2017 to September 2021, Furlow-Smiles led Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs at Facebook and was responsible for developing and executing DEI initiatives, operations and engagement programs. Her role at the company provided her access to company credit cards, and authority to submit purchase requisitions and approve invoices for authorized vendors of Facebook – a level of power she quickly abused.

Cohen admits sending lawyer fake legal cases in bid to end sentence early

Cohen, a disbarred attorney, just admitted that he sent his lawyer fake legal decisions generated by an AI tool as part of his bid to get off supervised release early in his Manhattan federal case.

Cohen claimed Thursday that he found the phony cases after using a "Google AI" tool that "created a whole bunch of phantom results because AI wants to please the user."

He then handed them to his lawyer, who included the fake rulings as fake "legal precedent" for why Cohen should be released early.

“The three cases that you gave to your lawyer were not real cases correct?" Todd Blanche asked him.

“Correct,” Cohen replied.

Cohen was busted for this late last year, and admitted that he had done it in a federal court filing.

Defense presses Cohen on whether he wanted to work in White House


Blanche repeatedly asked Cohen whether he hoped he would be offered a position in the White House once Trump took office in 2017.

Blanche asked Cohen twice whether he “really wanted” to work in the White House, to which Cohen responded “no sir.’

“You hoped that you would be named the White House chief of staff, not just be considered, but be named the White House chief of staff?” Blanche said.

“No, sir,” Cohen responded.

Cohen's cross-examination stays away from hush money deals


Most of Trump attorney Todd Blanche’s cross-examination has comprised him bringing up instances where he believes Cohen has lied over the years.

But Blanche has not asked Cohen any questions today so far about the hush money deals or the alleged reimbursement scheme at the center of Trump’s case.
