Treasury Sec. Janet Yellen tells @GStephanopoulos that a recession isn't “inevitable," but says inflation is "unacceptably high."

So the top economic official for the Biden Administration is not on record as being 180 degrees separated from the conventional wisdom of pretty much all of our blue chip economic experts. Everyone (except the Biden White House) is expecting a recession.
Technically we already had a quarter of negative GDP and the GDP Now projections from the Federal Reserve of Atlanta (a pretty accurate projection) shows the second quarter sitting a 0.00% gain. So depending on how our economic data goes over the next week or so, we could already be in a recession.

A federal gas tax holiday to ameliorate the burden of soaring gas prices across the nation is an idea "certainly worth considering," Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen told ABC's "This Week" on Sunday.
Driving the news: The national average price for regular gasoline spiked to a never-before-seen $5 per gallon this month as the country grapples with decades-high inflation.
What they're saying: Asked by host George Stephanopoulos whether a gas tax holiday was a possible short-term solution, Yellen replied, "President Biden wants to do anything he possibly can to help consumers. Gas prices have risen a great deal and it's clearly burdening households."
"So he stands ready to work with Congress and that's an idea that certainly worth considering," she added.Yellen called the current rate of inflation "unacceptably high" but echoed Biden's assessment of a potential recession by saying "I don't think a recession is inevitable."
Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm told CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday that a gas tax pause is an option the Biden administration is considering to bring down prices.

If gas taxes are decreased by the President inflation rates may decrease and the chances of a low level recession will decrease.
The skyrocketing prices for gasoline and diesel worldwide, were fueled by Russia’s war in Ukraine and the global rebound from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Not by the President Biden

NEW YORK (AP) — By the numbers, the Jan. 6 committee hearings attracted 20 million live viewers on opening night, 11 million for the first daytime session and nearly 9 million for Thursday’s third installment.
Yet those traditional Nielsen company yardsticks don’t begin to measure the true reach of what is being said there.
Memorable moments from each hearing are sliced for quick consumption on countless news programs, comedy shows and online, to the point where some have been seen more times later than when they were live.
In many respects, it’s the first congressional hearing in memory that seems specifically designed with modern media needs in mind, said Jeff Jarvis, a City University of New York journalism professor and frequent blogger on the media.
“That has already worked,” he said.
While it’s impossible to know what — if anything — covered in the initial stages of the hearing will stick much beyond the week’s news, there are already breakout moments and characters.

"A federal gas tax holiday" Alkynomics
18.4 cent drop.
After going from $2.24 , day one of Biden
To $5.00.
This is what makes scene to Alky.
She has been so spectacularly wrong. But now she has it right, zero chance she is right.
The Biden Recession is already in progress.
The Biden inflation tax is up to $7,250 per household.
So much losing
Oh goodie, more made up Alkynomics terms.
Define it Rog old dud.
" low level recession "
You own it .
The Republican Party of Texas voted for a resolution that would appear to rock the foundations of judicial review in the United States. Along the way, the Texas GOP rejects the legitimacy of Joe Biden’s presidency, describes homosexuality as an “abnormal lifestyle choice,” and urges the legislature to push a referendum on whether the Lone Star State should secede from the union.
That only scratches the surface on the radical proposals on the 273-point platform urges the abolition of several government agencies, withdrawal of the United States from the United Nations and the prosecution of physicians who perform “non-elective abortions” with homicide.
Overshadowed by numerous other proposals seemingly putting the state party in the firm embrace of the far-right, the Texas GOP appears to call for dismantling the 1803 Supreme Court precedent Marbury v. Madison.
The Supreme Court could no longer declare any state law is unconstitutional.
“Judges don’t define the roles of judges; Article 3, Section 2, defines the roles of judges,” the document states. “We support Congress’s limiting the power of the Supreme Court by invoking Article 3, Section 2, Clause 2, by ‘legislating exceptions and creating regulations’ to limit the cases for which the Supreme Court has jurisdiction.”
Highlighting the first clause, The Economist’s Supreme Court correspondent Steven Mazie identified the language as a clear rejection of more than two centuries of precedent establishing the concept of judiciary review in the United States.
I told you about how fucking crazy it is!

Since gas prices were increasing "prior" to Russia/Ukraine... it is just a flat out lie told by nincompoops who have no understanding of economics...
But I don't hold you in too much contempt...
after all you are an uneducated person who never took economic classes. People like you are easier to fool. But that is not your fault that you are easily fooled.
It is, however, your fault that you continue to push the lie?
But as someone who is posting over and over about the Biden solution, can you tell us what exactly he is fixing gas prices?
March 23, 2022 Putin invaded.
Biden fuel tax increased prior.
"The national average has risen 3.0 cents per gallon in the past week and now averages $3.51 per gallon. The average cost is up 20.5 cents in the past month and 88.7 cents in the past year"
Now biden tax on gas is up to $5.00
Even worse in Texas
Meanwhile, the party adopted a resolution that declared the 2020 election violated the U.S. Constitution and that “substantial election fraud in key metropolitan areas significantly affected the results.”
“We reject the certified results of the 2020 Presidential election, and we hold that acting President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. was not legitimately elected by the people of the United States,” the resolution continued.
The move came days after the House committee investigating the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 outlined evidence showing that top campaign aides to Donald Trump and other members of his inner circle repeatedly told the former president that claims of fraud were false. But the Texas resolution shows how thoroughly Trump’s obsession with the election has become ingrained as a core belief for his party.

For More Than 150 Years, Texas Has Had the Power to Secede…From Itself

Texas Republicans want to hold a referendum next year to decide whether or not the state should secede from the U.S.
The party charges the state has taken its right to self-govern and calls for secession.
I knew that we were in trouble but
In 1803, the Supreme Court established in Marbury v. Madison that U.S. courts can strike down laws that violate the Constitution, or as then-Chief Justice John Marshall put it: “A Law repugnant to the Constitution is void.” It has been called the most important precedent in the high court’s history by establishing the judiciary as an independent and co-equal branch of government.
Implicitly calling to topple that pillar of constitutional checks and balances, the Texas GOP likewise rejects the findings of more than 60 state and federal courts across the United States about the 2020 election.
They want a referendum on the ballot in November.
Even Ronald Reagan is spinning in his grave.
So is George W Bush.

about
Jan 6th hearings!
Bottom line Roger...
Two thirds of Americans are said to be paying almost no attention to this and even those who "are" paying attention are not able to tell us one single thing new that we didn't already know.
It
is
a
Failure!
The people of Texas can save the world.
a new Quinnipiac Unversity poll released Wednesday.
The poll results showed that 48% of Texas voters supported Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, and 43% supported Democratic challenger Beto O’Rourke.
Bush has remained silent for now.
Overall, the new platform provides more evidence of Texas Republicans moving further to the extreme right. Republicans, who control the legislature, governor’s mansion and every statewide office, have used their dominance to push through a swath of regressive laws in recent months including anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ, anti-migrant and anti-voting rights legislation.
Implicitly calling to topple that pillar of constitutional checks and balances, the Texas GOP likewise rejects the findings of more than 60 state and federal courts across the United States about the 2020 election.
This is a lie.
60 courts across the land found nothing because they failed to even hear the case. Because those brining the case and the case itself "lacked standing." The standard legal 'cowards' way out.
There's no "finding" in a case you refuse to even hear.
What you should be doing is asking yourself why this particular faction in Texas WANTS to secede. You clowns have managed to fuck things up six ways from Sunday. Every single thing this administration has touched they have made WORSE by several orders of magnitude.
So rather than mocking them with your feigned outrage, understand just how bad you've made it that drives them to this point.
If approved, the new party platform would include declaring homosexuality “an abnormal lifestyle choice," repealing the 16th Amendment that created the federal income tax, and mandating that Texas students "learn about the humanity of the preborn child,” in part by forcing students to listen to ultrasounds of gestating fetuses.During the convention, Texas Republicans approved a resolution declaring that President Biden "was not legitimately elected," per the Tribune.Attendees also voted on a measure urging "lawmakers to enact legislation to abolish abortion by immediately securing the right to life and equal proaction of the laws to all preborn children from the moment of fertilization," per Newsweek.The platform also calls for the abolishment of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, opposes efforts to classify carbon dioxide as a pollutant, and supports prayer "being returned to our schools, courthouses, and other government buildings."
And repeal Marbury v Madison
And actually Rat...
The truth is even more complicated than that. Trump and his legal challenges actually won several cases on points that did not have the ability to "overturn" the previous election.
For instance the Wisconsin courts have determined that several executive orders that used Covid as an excuse to bypass election laws were unconstitutional and that even the drop boxes were unconstitutional.
But since none of those legal victories got Trump any closer to "winning" the left will argue that any claims of fraud or problems with the 2020 election are "false".
The biggest problem is timing. There is no time between the election and safe harbor dates to actually have a full fledged civil trial on many of these things. They are (for all practical purposes) required to come to trial with "proof" rather than the normal probable cause that would allow them to garner some sort of discovery.
If you cannot request the information you would need to possibly prove your fraud, then that is a difficult case to win... doesn't mean that there was no fraud, just that there was no way to prove it within a few weeks.
"US Recession This Year Is Now More Likely Than Not" Bloomberg
The hypocrisy of the left is stunning if you think about it...
They demanded because Trump could not provide "proof" within the few weeks necessary... and and even though he never was even allowed access to information...
That proves that none of his allegations were real...
Meanwhile we are now 6 years plus into investigating Trump, getting everything from his tax returns to his personal and business finances, talking to hundreds of witnesses...
But the fact that they have not proven anything to this point is moot. The investigation alone is proof that he is guilty?
So cannot prove something in six week. Must be false allegation.
Cannot prove it in six years... well give us some more time!
Oh hell.

Oh so Roger is again spectacularly wrong.
"More than half of Americans think the U.S. has already entered a recession, new polling shows"
The hearings are changing minds now.
What Americans have taken away from the recent public discussion about the riot spurred by the committee’s work, it seems, is that Trump should face criminal charges for his role in spurring it.
There have been several polls conducted since the riot that have measured the extent to which Americans think Trump should face this very specific form of accountability. In the most recent, ABC News and Ipsos found that nearly 3 in 5 Americans think Trump should face criminal charges. That follows a poll conducted at the end of April by The Washington Post and ABC News that put the figure at just over half, which is about where things stood shortly after the riot, too.
While Democrats have consistently thought Trump should face criminal charges, only about 1 in 10 Republicans did in that April poll. In the new ABC-Ipsos poll, that jumped to nearly 1 in 5. Margins of error are important here; the shift may be more modest than the top-line numbers make it seem. But there’s little question that most Americans think Trump should face criminal charges.

"nearly 3 in 5" is how they describe 58%
"just over half" is how they describe 54%
This literally could be a margin of error difference.
It makes you wonder why they just didn't put in the two numbers rather than "describe" the two numbers...
Because they think people will fall for it!

D'Souza's Mules Left Tracks
Many conservative commentators have noted that Dinesh D'Souza's documentary, 2000 Mules, offers compelling evidence of large-scale vote fraud. It offers more than this, though. It provides compelling evidence of a massive, centrally coordinated conspiracy to commit vote fraud. Examining several states with different voter laws while focusing on just one form of fraud, the movie found that the method of fraud was executed identically in each of these states. That is prima facie evidence of central organization and management.
From the moment counting was stopped in the dead of night in five Democrat-run swing states on election night, Democrats and the media have treated anyone who questioned election integrity in 2020 like a mob boss treats anyone who threatens to testify against him: shut up, or we will cancel you.
Democrats and the media routinely smear anyone who questions the election results as a conspiracy theorist. They routinely pronounce any evidence that emerges as "debunked." For the record, "debunked" does not mean "inconvenient to the leftist narrative." It means "thoroughly investigated and proven to be false." Almost none of the evidence has been debunked; very little has been officially examined. Leftists treat actual evidence like how a vampire treats a crucifix. There is no reasoned discourse, just a lot of hissing and snarling.
From well before he took office, Donald Trump faced an ongoing administrative coup attempt. First was the long-running Russian collusion hoax, mounted by Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee and abetted by the FBI and intelligence agencies. Federal employees who were, theoretically, subordinate to Trump gleefully worked to undermine his administration. Two baseless impeachments were mounted against him by Democrats who know nothing other than shrieking partisanship anymore. The slow-moving coup finally succeeded on the evening of November 3, 2020, when those five states quit counting ballots to give Democrats time to "fortify" the election. The last real hurdle to thwarting election integrity came on December 11, 2020, when the Supreme Court ruled that Texas and 18 other states lacked standing to complain of massive fraud. How states that conduct honest elections lack standing to complain of states that don't in an election that affects them all is beyond my understanding. It looked like unconditional institutional surrender to massive fraud to me. All hail the barbarians!

Biden says decision on gas tax holiday may come this week
By AAMER MADHANI and JOSH BOAK
6 mins ago
REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. (AP) — President Joe Biden said Monday that he will decide by the end of the week whether to order a holiday on the federal gasoline tax, possibly saving U.S. consumers as much as 18.4 cents a gallon.
“Yes, I’m considering it,” Biden told reporters after taking a walk along the beach near his vacation home in Delaware. “I hope to have a decision based on the data — I’m looking for by the end of the week.”
“Yes, I’m considering it,” Biden told reporters after taking a walk along the beach near his vacation home in Delaware. “I hope to have a decision based on the data — I’m looking for by the end of the week.”
Well, I hope he figures it out before he turns an ankle, breaks a leg, or takes a header into the sand.
How the fuck does one fall off a bike that's fucking STATIONARY for chrissakes. That's like getting into an accident in a PARKED car.
Tomorrow focus on Trump’s efforts to pressure state officials, it will feature live testimony from Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger — who was on the receiving end of Trump’s infamous request to “find” enough votes to overturn President Biden’s win.
He faces criminal charges in Georgia.
Even if Garland doesn't prosecute Trump, a felony conviction rules out his ability to run again.
This matters much more.
At this point belittling and mocking Alky is sufficient.
Wow, feckless Joe needs another week to decide, what has been talked about for a month.
The 16 cent drop is meaningless,
Reduce gasoline back to where ya started Joe, $2.24.
I don't pay tax on My Diesel fuel..
So, Feckless joe does nothing for Ranchers and farmers.
He faces criminal charges in Georgia.
So charges have been filed.
List the charges and who filed them please.
Only people locked down in the psyche ward believe it’s Putin’s price hike
Ouch! Poll shows even a majority of DEMS aren’t buying Biden’s inflation & gas price excuses
roger backs Cotton as the 2024 presidential nominee
Maybe because of this:
EXCLUSIVE: Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Arkansas, said Thursday that U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland should resign over the Biden administration Justice Department’s inaction on more than 50 attacks on pro-life pregnancy centers and churches in recent weeks purportedly carried out by Jane’s Revenge.
In a letter sent to Garland, Cotton, who is the ranking member for the subcommittee on Criminal Justice and Counterterrorism, the Intelligence Committee, and the Armed Services Committee, also called on the DOJ to investigate Jane’s Revenge as a "domestic terrorist organization."
"Houses of worship and pro-life pregnancy centers are under attack. The Family Research Council has compiled a list of more than 50 attacks against churches, pro-life pregnancy centers, and other pro-life groups in the past few weeks," Cotton wrote to Garland in a letter exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital. "A left-wing extremist group called ‘Jane's Revenge’ has taken credit for many of these attacks, including firebombings and grotesque acts of vandalism."
Cotton noted how the same group on Tuesday "has now issued a letter declaring ‘open season’ on all so-called ‘anti-choice’ groups, and calls for terrorist attacks against these groups by anyone ‘with the urge to paint, to burn, to cut, [or] to jam."
The senator included a list of more than a dozen attacks that Jane’s Revenge has claimed responsibility for in recent weeks following the leak of a Supreme Court draft opinion in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization that if published, would overturn Roe v. Wade. Given many of these attacks did not result in any arrests, Cotton said the DOJ should bring federal charges against the perpetrators.
"What is the Department of Justice doing to protect Americans from these violent attacks? At a minimum, you should bring federal charges3 against the perpetrators, where appropriate, and investigate ‘Jane's Revenge’ as a domestic terrorist organization, Cotton wrote.
"If you are unwilling to protect Americans from these attacks, you should resign-although, in my opinion, you should resign in any case," he added.

New York Federal Reserve predicts failing Bidenomics this year.
Oh, and next.
Looks like roger realizes who our 2024 president is going to be. Trump or DeSantis.
Cotton might be VP so that will lessen his dissappointment

Fascism refers to a way of organizing society with an emphasis of autocratic government, dictatorial leadership, and the suppression of opposition. The word entered English as a result of Mussolini's 'fascisti' in Italy, but 'fascisti' and 'fascio,' both referring to a bundle, were used to represent labor and agrarian unions in Italy since at least 1872.

As Joe has proven fascism exists in the democrat party and in unions
now if we could only figure out who "the big guy" is
He faces criminal charges in Georgia.
Well that is news!!!!
Checked everywhere and it hasn't been reported yet?
When was he indicted and arrested, Roger?
“All I want to do is this: I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have,”
If there is a grand jury investigation going on, we don't know if it is or not yet but.
The great thing is that nobody can sew doubt during the trial period.
If there is a grand jury investigation going on
There is a Fulton County Grand Jury with no ability to indict anyone...
Is that what you are referring to when you claim he is facing criminal charges? Because having a non-working Grand Jury with no authority is a long ways from a Georgia state indictment.
If there is a grand jury investigation going on, we don't know if it is or not yet but.
Always wrong
A special grand jury was picked to probe Trump's actions in the 2020 Georgia election

That will be Trump's enduring legacy

ATLANTA — As many as 50 witnesses are expected to be subpoenaed by a special grand jury that will begin hearing testimony next week in the criminal investigation into whether former President Donald J. Trump and his allies violated Georgia laws in their efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss in the state.
The process, which is set to begin on Wednesday, is likely to last weeks, bringing dozens of subpoenaed witnesses, both well-known and obscure, into a downtown Atlanta courthouse bustling with extra security because of threats directed at the staff of the Fulton County district attorney, Fani T. Willis.

Tomorrow
The fourth hearing by the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 Attack on the U.S. Capitol will focus on how Trump’s team pressured local and state government officials to overturn Biden’s victory. Tuesday’s witnesses include two Republican election officials from Georgia and a state legislator from Arizona who resisted Trump’s pressure and received numerous threats from Trump supporters that have continued into 2022’s elections.
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/27/us/trump-grand-jury-georgia.html
This has been going on for two weeks before this
Upon a conviction for inciting insurrection, or being an accessory to insurrection, Trump would be subject to disqualification from acquiring federal office.
Section 3 of the 14th Amendment directs: “No person shall . . . hold any office . . . under the United States . . . who, having previously taken an oath . . . as an officer of the United States . . . to support the Constitution shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same.’'
There is ample evidence that Trump’s objective was the insurrection’s success. Among that evidence was his three-hour delay in calling on the attackers to go home and his vengeful tweet demeaning Vice President Mike Pence after Trump knew that the savage invasion of the U.S. Capitol had begun. That was “pouring gasoline on the fire,” testified former deputy White House press secretary Sarah Matthews.
Lol. Roger gonna tell us how tough he is.

Boy Roger...
When does the Jan 6th commission get off Trump and actually start to talk about the Jan 6th riots??
Since that was supposed to be their job?
Or do you admit that it is just another one sided Trump impeachment trial with no defense allowed?
It's not a trial.
But that escaped your mind.
He tried to overturn the Constitution of the United States of America and you don't care or recognize because you have lost your mind Scott.
You used to be somewhat normal but for reasons you don't recognize the dangers that our forefathers risked their lives.
