Unfortunately, (a) she’s not talking about energy or oil production/supply; and (b) she believes it.
Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, a comprehensively incompetent and unqualified person selected to run the commerce department, blames, without hesitation, a “fundamental lack of supply” for the cause of U.S. inflation [04:38]. She’s not pretending, Raimondo genuinely believes this.
I have struggled with the question of whether it’s incompetence or intentional ideology that drives some of these cabinet members to say stupid stuff. In the case of Commerce Secretary Raimondo, it is clearly incompetence. In order to believe that a lack of supply is driving inflation; which is not coincidentally the same demand-cause opinion held by the federal reserve; a person has to ignore the dozens of key economic indicators that show consumer demand has contracted, inventories are climbing, and orders to manufacturers have dropped.
Even Samsung, one of the largest producers of electronics sold in the United States, has told all their suppliers to stop sending the component goods used to manufacture their products because orders for finished goods have plummeted. Hell, consider this…. THE COMMERCE DEPARTMENT, yes, that’s right, the Department that Raimondo is in charge of, has collected the data showing RETAIL SALES have DROPPED. Yet here she is blaming a lack of supply for inflation. WATCH:
It is not a lack of supply driving supply side and producer inflation. It is the massive increase in material, processing and transportation costs associated with Biden’s energy policy that are impacting supply-side inflation. Demand has contracted, inventories are climbing, manager orders have plummeted, and consumers are squeezed. Yet this knucklehead thinks recession is unlikely.
Gina Raimondo was also on Meet The Press, with another knucklehead, Chuck Todd.
.
“Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, a comprehensively incompetent and unqualified person selected to run the commerce department,…”
What do you mean? The name sounds Hispanic and Gina might even be a female. How can you label her incompetent and unqualified before you even know her skin color, pronouns, and gender self-ID. You are every phobe in the book.
Gina met her Husband a Yale Skull and Bones Grad at Oxford in England. They are both Rhodes Scholars, you really can’t make this BS up. Most Oxford Rhodes scholars are loyal to the Queen.
Bones , Rhodes , Fabians and Tavistock institute types tend to roll together.
Kris Kristofferson said it best:
“I think between us, Bill Clinton and I have settled any lingering myths about the brilliance of Rhodes scholars”
There was an older guy from my hometown who just happened to be a Rhodes scholar (somehow), guess where he ended up? Ended up being a Democrat Senator and a friend of Billy Blue Dress Clinton. As Sparrow hawk said, they do roll together.
Australia has had three Rhodes Scholars as damaging prime ministers and old WEF Klausy himself finished up training as a global leader at Harvard.
Was her major gender studies?
“My major study at University, was GENDER studies.
In great detail, I studied the opposite gender, and did extensive research on the differences between the genders.”
“So, you f*cked around a lot?”
“Constantly!”
In simple terms, HailPelosi, she is dumber than a shucked oyster.
I can’t think of anyone in this current administration that is competent regardless of their pronouns.
It’s much more difficult to control a competent person…. They need incompetent robots in these positions who obediently do what they’re told, and say what they’re told to say.
It is so hard to find a competent person in any government today…..they have been bred for the part…….
Look at Biden………… he has done nothing but live off the system for 60 years…..not a days work in all that time mind……….too many career politicians out there.
Then there are the bureaucrats……. like a good woman of the night when you ask her if her name is Candy….and she says “my name can be anything you want it to be honey!”
They go to the highest bidder..thats all.
I miss Wilbur…Terribly.
Watching this woman is enough to gag a maggot……
Brief info on Gina and her Husband.
“The bride, who graduated from Harvard, and bridegroom, a graduate of the University of Michigan, received law degrees from Yale. They met at Oxford University in England, where the bride was a Rhodes Scholar and received a master’s degree in sociology and where the bridegroom received a master’s degree in comparative social research.”
I wouldn’t trust a Rhodes scholar, it seems they are all undermining our country and sending our jobs to China.
Gina was also initially funded by none other than Mitt Romney’s Bain Capital. They have been at this scheming game for quite a while now. All the same players keep coming back up in a country with over 300 million people.
‘Sociology’ and ‘Economics’ are similar fields of study because both words include the letter “c”.
So relax everyone, we’re in capable hands.
Her explanation is so stupid only another intellectual could believe it.
Some scholars have a sense of scholarship. Others remain scholastically ignorant.
A piece of paper can mean something, or it might be useful if it was round and came in rolls……
Sociology and comparative social research are clearly among the most rigorous disciplines in the Rhodes catalogue. What a waste of advanced academic study.
Eric Greitens is a Rhodes Scholar and Steve Bannon’s man. Take that for what it’s worth.
He makes me gag.
Not scholars that move jobs, it’s US Corporations. It’s not only China but Mexico, South America, Vietnam, Korea, Canada.
It just points out the obvious: Education collapsed a very long time ago. It costs tens of thousands of dollars to enroll willingly in progressive brainwashing programs.
I made it to the Doctoral level, thinking “this is going to be really hard stuff!!”. OMG… I’ve never seen so many affirmative action candidates who knew so little about anything and who were getting doctoral degrees in things like “women’s studies”. Not physics, chemistry, real math, etc… Everything was soooo easy it was embarrassing. If I can get an A in advanced statistics, you know the program is flawed. LOL. Dumbed down so everyone “passed”. Straight A’s all the way through, failed the final exams, and tossed my “thesis” straight into the trash. I thought to myself, “Dammit!!! I should’ve picked women’s studies and done a study on the study of LGBTQXYZ women and gender!!!!” No, I was into hardcore math and computer science. I wondered to myself later, that maybe the “Reviewers” didn’t understand my submission. Who knows. What a total waste of money. I wasn’t willing to resubmit. I told myself “you failed”, but just move on down the road and keep making money at what you do best. I don’t advise my grandchildren to go to college. It’s way over priced. Learn a SKILL, several SKILLS, and go work for a living.
The woman is a maggot.
Actually I should apologize to the maggot.
So does that mean we can cook her and eat her? For the protein…
A little good news today
A Russian wins the ladies championship at Wimbledon
An anti vaxxer wins the men’s championship at Wimbledon
It’s been a good weekend
Excellent news indeed!
I think Joe Stalin needs to raise taxes higher, so the Govt’ can create more supply. HAHAHAHA.
They are so good at creating things.
And the government is not greedy like corporations. /s
Rule No. One — Never Give Up The CON !
It’s not incompetence , its gaslighting. They don’t have to believe it , they just have to SAY IT , for mass repetition by media to keep as many people bullshitted as possible , for as LONG as possible.
They are just buying time.
If it weren’t for the corrupt, propaganda media mill, they’d have gone down in flames long ago.
Control of the message is everything!
Fwiw, I agree. The stock in trade for these prog collectivists is the lie, and gaslighting is their favorite type.. It’s oe of the few things they do well, and they do it very well because they have constant practice.
And to think…Republican senators (small s) voted to confirm her, right along with the other cabinet secretaries, also with the same malevolent intellectual vacuity.
That is the point ALL of us need to keep in mind……there is no difference! Remember, it’s one big club and WE AREN’T IN IT!
Exactly. That is why “We the People” need to demand and work to repeal the 17th Amendment to go back to the original Constitution that the founders put in place. They knew exactly what would happen if voting for both House and Senators were allowed. CORRUPTION of the highest order.
The “election” of these so called representative senators has become a pox on our nation. Mostly old fossils that do nothing for their constituents, but rather their donor masters. Senator have become a career to get rich and powerful, rather than a public service for the good of the Republic.
Appointment by the State Legislators, as originally intended would go a long way to correcting this Communist/RINO self serving Uniparty problem. State legislators, who are closer to the people in a State,(especially Republican controlled States) could remove trash like McCuckell, Romney, Murkowski, et.al. when their jobs in the State would be on the line if they did not.
Voting these fossils out is nearly impossible because of the “two party, one party” ” Uniparty” farce that most uninformed voters buy into along with the “Un”-freedom of the press. They are nothing but a leftist supporting propaganda liar media….including the “farce” of “fair and balanced” FOX that so many conservatives fall for and still watch.
….OR do some qualified academic research and have SCOTUS declare both the 16th and the 17th void since they were never legally ratified because of opposing language and state legislatures out of session when they supposedly passed the amendments
Same with the 14th, actually.
Yes, that is one of the key “bait and switch” aspects of the 17th; NOT just how Senators are selected, but that recalling them becomes impossible.
The argument at the time was “He who selects, can recall” i.e. State legislatures select, State legislatures can recall.
Popular vote selects, popular vote can NOT select, i.e. not vote for reelection, so its equivalent”,…except its not, as we have seen.
As stated, almost impossible to oust an incumbent Senator.
Norm Coleman is the only incumbent loser that comes to mind. I know there have been others since 2008, but not many.
Great, astute observation!
The Sunday talk shows are great for tuning in to see what laughable hung-over elitist dip-sticks say.
But they rule you for the foreseeable future.
foreseeable to you, not to me.
Why I am I not stunned to hear this. Dont even need to hear what they say anymore.
Election Fraud
Brandon is amazingly competent at appointing amazingly incompetent people to his cabinet.
A proverbial one trick pony.
HaHa!
The only thing FJB has in common with one trick ponies:
He’s a horse’s ass 🙂
But, one thing for sure, not a SINGLE ONE will EVER stray from the party line.
Not a one.
Let me remind you she was affirmed by the senate 84-15. She’s qualified as far as the clowns can see. FJB
Uniparty Anti-MAGA results. Being unqualified is what they voted for. Feature not a flaw.
Katanji Brown is going to bring down the Supreme Court per Obamas orders.
Brown on the SC is literally the same as having Obama in there himself.
Paul Rino luvs her.
Is that THEE same R Paul who talks patriotic about the Constitution only when hes up for reelection and same one who voted to confirm Biden as President? Or are you referring to someone else?
Paul Rino = Paul Ryan
He and Justice Brown are friends and related by marriage. Brown’s brother in law is married to Ryans’s sister in law; or something like that.
Surprised that Lyin’ Paul Ryan has not trumpeted that relationship – because DEI and all that.
oh yeah, thats who he meant. Just checkn
Incest.
Judge Barky. Has a nice ring, don’t it. Wait for it come 2024 – if the GOP does not control both branches of Congress, the mild-mannered humble Kenyan does seem to be a candidate for the next available SCOTUS seat. If the left succeeds in ending the career of Judge Thomas timely, Judge Barky may be with us sooner than that.
Not diff from Breyer, tho.
She’s from Rhode Island.
Same place that has produced stellar politicians like Lincoln Chafee, Sheldon Whitehouse, David Cicilline … and in the last weeks, the RI State Senator Tiara Mack twerking her fat a** upside down:
https://rumble.com/v1barwj-tucker-carlson-hilariously-mocks-democrats-over-twerking-queen-tiara-mack.html
So Raimondo is par for the course for deep blue state Rhode Island’s “best and brightest.”
Her family is connected to Jack Reed too…. he is another anti Trump POS commie.
I had no idea that stupid stunt was from someone in a position of power. That person suffers from an utter lack of morals.
(Thanks for making us aware of the video)
Raimondo and her MD from RIDOH spent every covid presser, in 2020, informing Rhode Islanders that it was racism that caused people of color to die disproportionally from covid-19. Not once, not once did the “good” doctor even suggest ways to improve one’s immune system such as taking Vit D or explaining that the darker your skin the more difficult it is to get adequate VIT D from daily exposure to sunlight. Not once were co-morbidities highlighted as contributing factors in the cause of death from covid, such a diabetes or obesity. I guess that would be blaming the victim for his/her failure to properly care for their own health. Gina is not incompetent she is EVIL!!!
Sadly, after three decades of watching the country get willingly fleeced on amnesty for illegal aliens, it’s a pretty sure bet that a whole bunch of the American public are capable of and willing to and will believe this toxic lying spew.
How about both?
So the answer is more regulation for truckers, less fertilizer for farmers, stop all pipeline construction, no new oil and gas leases where there are huge deposits, no new permits to expand refineries and build new ones and finally export our strategic oil reserve to China and elsewhere to improve their economies.
not defending gina or brandon but there is a (brandon-induced) lack of supply in some things which add to other inflationary pressures. there is a lack of natural gas in among other places, the european market which has bid up the price world wide. there’s gas available from russia, just not to unfriendlies who don’t want to repair turbines, pay in rubles, etc. also fertilizer and its components. the russian sanctions have produced human mandated shortages but they are shortages nonetheless.
Gina Raimondo is a Lawyer from Yale Law and also a Harvard grad…..I have for years told you guys about Lawyers(should be barred from holding public office) and these same corrupt Schools keep popping up in the their education…..It’s not coincidence…….
Most Harvard and Yale, some Stanfords, etc. are all CIA, (you also have the Rhodes scholars and their wives who may be educated elsewhere). Relative to Yale grads, The Skull and Bones plan has been effective for them, they play both sides of the coin. They have both Republicans and Democrats installed to run for elections. Since they control both sides of the candidates, the outcome is in their favor regardless of who wins. That is how we got the Cabal, or Swamp as many call it. Their ultimate goal is to control the money and the govt’ as a whole, then they hire their family members, kids, brothers, cousins wives etc. to high pay no show jobs, or high level govt’ roles where they create policies that harm the rest of us. Note, they almost always tow the line… they do not waver from the Skull and Bones plan.
A lot of truth to that.
The professional political class has been hanging out together in the same bubble since their mid 20’s.
Seldom in an environment where people disagree with them, or their failures have consequences.
Their repetitive lies in our faces everyday, would suggests they are just outright Evil….
and an Organized Evil (you know a group of traitors) at that.
Not only incompetent, also illegitimate.
I always notice faces, the eyes, the general countenance.
She’s got the typical homely, soulless look that so many of these parasites have.
I don’t think she’s stupid, just soulless and morally bankrupt.
She got the memo and this is the new narrative.
It’s not the Ukraine war anymore, or covid.
Now, it’s supply chain.
It will be used to explain everything.
She also displays that eerily calm voice heard from most progressives – excepting the critters on The Squawd, of course.
We have lack of a secure border, lack of a duly elected president, lack of a reputable medical community and a severe lack of people being tried for Treason.
A very accurate summation.
She’s just ahead of the curve with the talking points. They’re working hard to make sure there’s less of everything, they just aren’t quite there yet. She’s supposed to be saying “Putin, Putin, Putin.”
When I read Bezmenov’s description of Active Measures, making voters think their leaders are incompetent is on the list. I think that China or the WEF is calling the shots so they control the actual business… but they probably encouraged/demanded these cabinet members as each and every one of them is in over their heads.
They, just like Biden, are the dummies that are the public face of the ministration… they don’t seem to understand the systems/policies they are assigned to “manage”, can’t answer serious questions, and can only regurgitate the talking points that were handed to them. Blinken, Grahholm, Mayorkas, Becerra, Raimondo… take your pick. They are ridiculously unprepared and none even seem to be competent career people.
It’s like a MUCH less funny version of Major League… management puts together the worst team they can to further their own selfish goals.
Yes.. But a lack of (oil/gasoline) energy supply is the cause so she isn’t totally wrong.
And of course they are the ones causing it.
Lack of supply…? Only thing I could think that would justify this is “Operation Hide The Ships” Either way, its all intentional.
If they are never immediately challenged on the statements they make there are no consequences to those statements.
Biden now wants to shut down the Permian Basin
EPA Targets Permian Basin, Widening Biden’s War On Oil And Gas
https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidblackmon/2022/07/01/epa-targets-permian-basin-widening-bidens-war-on-oil-and-gas/
The Permian Basin is currently provides about 40% of the oil production and 15% of the gas of the entire country.
The Permian Basin is also the site of about 40% of the nation’s active drilling rigs.
https://www.rrc.texas.gov/oil-and-gas/major-oil-and-gas-formations/permian-basin/
The Permian is full of long-lived wells, many drilled in the 40s, high quality sweet crude. I have a working interest in there, wells my godfather drilled.
This is a declaration of war. Fracking will give us short-lived, but intense-yielding wells, but the long term is offshore and Permian. We need both.
Will someone stand up and say, “He doesn’t have the damn authority to do ANY OF THIS”!!
“non-attainment” status ??
“[T]he Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced [this week that] it may soon issue a ruling declaring that vast parts of the Permian Basin are in “non-attainment” status under the agency’s ozone regulations. If such a declaration is made, it will constitute a direct governmental assault on what is by far America’s most active and productive oil-producing region and its second most-productive natural gas area.”
The Permian Basin is “non-attainment status” the same way a Dutch farmer’s field is “non-attainment” in nitrogen reduction.
The target is us. The Permian Basin is just the means.
I say drill any way. Let the Texas Rangers arrest any Fed that interferes.
Yes! I don’t get how we allow our ACTUAL LAWS to be violated over and over, and yet submit to the exercise of NON-LAWS by this usurper. Either we have laws or not. “Rules” are NOT LAWS.
They use laws to undermine our justice and governance systems, blatantly. Tell him to just f-k off. Do not comply.
I discount anything anyone says who refers to the Potatus as “The President” they are either hopelessly stupid and/or corrupt.
nice one
This administration has hired the most incompetent idiots than any other administration in History. I have not heard one of them say or make one intelligent solution
They are only unintelligent if you presume this is NOT by design.
She’s not disconnected, she’s gaslighting. Big difference.
To be fair global and domestic oil production is down. But that is an intended consequence of Biden economic po!icy.
It is hard to listen to her ramble on and actually outright lie to the American people. The worst part is that there are uneducated Americans who will watch this show and think it is the truth.
Education was wasted on this Stepford Secretary.
She thinks Congress can just pass magical Low Price Laws and everything will be just fine! “If we just don’t say “recession”, there is no recession!”
She says the War must end as soon as possible–but hasn’t noticed State doing everything possible to prolong their precious Endless War.
But I suppose Over-Educated Useful Idiot is better than the usual Satanic Minion.
Calling Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross to Washington DC immediately!
Get these morons outta there and take their damn coats!!!!!!
Get’em out!!!!!
NATO’s MICIMATT oligarchs are fakakta.
Love the word “Knuckleheads” What we called ignorant people that visited our farm!!🤠
If Trump thought he had a problem with the bureaucracy his 1st term he is really gonna have to clean house in 2024. Look at the freak hired by the DOE. And that wasn’t a political appointee. I would hope he would decentralize or eliminate most of the departments.
He should campaign on this very issue.
I believe PDJT HAS made statements to this effect, in an interview although sorry I can’t site or link it.
He KNOWS he must do this, has thought about it and no doubt has a plan.
Another affirmative action employee. Until we go back to hiring based on QUALIFICATIONS instead of skin color/gender, we will continue to get complete and utter stupidity.
Genius Gina is exhibit A
Actually this bout of inflation has nothing to do with supply or demand. The world has figured out that the dollar is worth poop.
“In the case of Commerce Secretary Raimondo, it is clearly incompetence” or is this just straight-up propaganda?
Lets’s assume for a minute that Raimondo is not just straight-up incompetent. Then what else could it be. Maybe Raimondo is just reading her version of Biden’s TelePrompter, after all, it is legal for her to do so under HR 4310. I am not incompetent, just corrupt. I have been told to lie.
She’s not even fooling a 5th grader.
Dumber than dirt………
All the clowns are in the same circus. Perhaps, a different ring, but, same circus.
Looking at the brighter side, we should be thankful that Miz Raimondo is not a POC. For if she were, she’d likely be leading the Federal Reserve by now. Wypipo may only rise so high in the World of Brandon.
TW mentioned earlier that she’s from Rhode Island – the Ocean State
She screwed up that state so bad, the ocean doesn’t want to reclaim it.
“Competence” doesn’t mean a thing to a Libtard.
Why would it?
Libtards lack rationale, judgment, common sense. “Competence” is a word Libtards have no comprehension nor can they spell it.
Besides, in order to judge or recognise competence, YOU have to be competent, yourself.
Even if its only in the area of judging competence.
Brandons whole crew is a perfect representation, the uniformly incompetent, reciting the talking points by rote.
Labor Sec’y Walsh: We Have Inflation Because We Don’t Produce Enough in U.S. and War Is Increasing Oil Cost (breitbart.com)
I see another Fake Cabinet Secretary is vomiting up the same
talking pointslies. Can’t be bothered to watch.Labor Secretary Boston union hack Marty Walsh, said the same thing on a CNN appearance. This isn’t individual incompetence or stupidity. This is the administration line the Democrats want out in the media.
Alfred E. Kahn
While serving under Carter, Kahn became known for his blunt and sometimes politically damaging comments. Convinced that certain administration policies would lead to a depression, but having been chided for using the term, he began saying that the economy would “become a banana.” After banana producers objected, he changed his euphemism to “kumquat”. He explained inflation in one press conference by saying “Inflation occurs when everyone is trying to take a piece of the pie, but there isn’t enough pie to go around.” While President Carter tried to downplay the significance of certain economic figures, Kahn called them “a catastrophe.” At one point, a frustrated Kahn offered his resignation, but Carter refused. Kahn joked, “I don’t know why the president doesn’t fire me. Actually, I do. There’s no one else foolish enough to take this job.”
SEE IT NOW
Biden’s Energy Policies trigger higher fuel cost, resulting in higher manufacturing cost and higher transportation cost to produce retail products costing more.
Biden’s Energy Policies trigger higher fuel cost, resulting in lower wages since more income is directed towards food and transportation by retail buyers.
Lower wages are forced to buy retail products costing more. Resulting in fewer retail products being used. Resulting in higher manufacturing and transportation costs. Resulting in fewer retail products being used. Inflation!!
Income goes down while manufacturing and transportation costs go up.
I heard that when biden calls a cabinet meeting they all have to pretend to make dookies in the pants so biden doesn’t feel alone.
“Gina Raimondo was also on Meet The Press, with another
knuckleheadcrackpot , Chuck Todd.”Im surprised she didnt blame Trump or putin. I guess those two dont budge the trial balloon any longer.
Proving once again… leftists are incapable of rational thought.
