by R. Cort Kirkwood, The New American:
In the real world where Americans live, gas, food, and other consumer prices have risen dramatically since President Joe Biden took office.
Prices at the grocery store are out of sight. Filling the gas tank practically requires a second mortgage. And forget buying a home at today’s prices and mortgage interest rates. Apartment rents are zooming.
But in Biden World, all is well. Or so says spokesman Karine Jean-Pierre: In Biden World, gas and food prices are “down,” all thanks to Biden, of course.

No, they aren’t, and the data prove it.
KARINE JEAN-PIERRE:

What She Said
In a typical lovefest interview at hate-Trump, love-Biden MSNBC, host Willie Geist asked the Haitian lesbian immigrant to give viewers the lowdown on Biden’s doings at Camp David, where he is preparing for Thursday’s debate against GOP opponent and former President Donald Trump.
Claiming that Americans across the country feel inflation despite a “thriving” economy, Geist told Jean-Pierre that Trump will attack Biden on inflation and the high prices of consumer goods. How, he asked oh-so-nicely, will Biden handle Trump’s attack on the prices of gas and food staples?
Jean-Pierre delivered a standard defense of Bidenomics: The country was emerging from the China Virus panic in 2020, so yes, prices increased. But Biden turned the economy around.
“So, yes, eggs and milk and there were grocery things that were up. It has gone down. It has gone down since 2022,” she said:
Gas prices, because of the actions that this president took, and let’s not forget … Russia did enter Ukraine; that caused gas prices to tick up. The president took action, tapped the [Strategic Petroleum Reserve] and we saw gas prices go down. The president has met the moment with every issue we have had in front of us.
After that foray into fantasyland, Jean-Pierre turned to the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe V. Wade.
