Joe Biden took gaslighting to an entirely new dimension today during remarks to brag about the recovery of U.S. supply chains during his administration tenure.
As incredible as it sounds, Joe Biden actually claimed Thanksgiving food prices were the fourth lowest in history despite the astronomical prices we pay at the grocery store. This is economic gaslighting in the extreme as the inflationary data from the Bureau of Labor and Statistics proves.
First, here is the claim by Joe Biden:
See below for a chart of food and energy price increases since Biden took office.
SOURCES: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, “Employment, Hours, and Earnings from the Current Employment Statistics Survey (National).” U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, “Consumer Price Index.” U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, “PPI Commodity Data.” U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, “Consumer Price Index News Release.”
Since President Joe Biden took office:
- Inflation surged to the highest level in over 40 years. Despite slowing their rise lately, consumer prices are up nearly 17.1% overall. Gasoline is up 50.3%.
- Average weekly earnings haven’t kept pace with prices. After adjusting for inflation, “real” weekly earnings dropped 3.9%.
.
The claim by Joe Biden is so over-the-top incredible, it was noted by Senator Rick Scott of Florida.
Ugh!
We went to a family dinner on Thanksgiving where the (mostly sensible but I’m still workin’ on ’em) GenX host and hostess wanted to have a large prime rib for the table instead of a turkey.
He and his wife were at the butcher – they pulled out a large roast which he thought would be perfect.
Then his wife noticed the over $350 price tag.
*sad trumpet sound*
They ended up with another cut of beef which was delicious, and we were very grateful to them, but I hate to think what it cost either.
This was probably why some of my pointed remarks at the table later about inflation and the debt were absorbed quietly and thoughtfully this time, with no pushback even from a couple of moonbats in attendance.
Reality – when smacked across the face repeatedly with it – wakes many people up. Not all… but many. And yet, many of the many, still refuse to change thier thinking or behavior (voting).
In an age when men can be women and women can be men – inflation can be deflation.
And Biden is considered a good President with sound policies. Just ask KJP.
We know there are people like Clinton, Obama, Biden, KJP etc. that are going to hell because of there lies.
If not them and their associates, then who is bad enough in this world to go to hell?
Your comment made me Ka-ringe!
After hearing him speak in that 18 sec clip, all I can say is – “What an ass.”
Yeah, I found the smirk and chuckle afterward, even more despicable.
But that’s how they operate. Those little ‘In your face, what are you going to do about it? barbs are all by design to bait/provoke into lashing out in anger, or even better… violence.
Spiritual Warefare on full display.
Gosh, did you actually listen to him?
Just like the gas prices are down to $3/gallon….somewhere. NOT IN LOS ANGELES where they hover between 5.50 and in some places are inching up towards $7/gallon…on the day sleepy, creepy Joe was inaugurated I filled my tank with premium- from the same station I always use-or $2.19/gallon. Maybe prices are dropping a bit – but NOT from where they were before JOE took office- they have risen steadily from the day he took over and they might be falling slightly but they bounce back up again and they haven’t ONCE in three years fallen to the consistantly low price that they were under TRUMP. If Joe’s lips are moving- HE’S LYING
The only thing that’s the lowest in years is Biden’s love of the truth.
Has he ever had a love for truth ?
The applause in that clip is disturbing to me. Who are these people?
The Borg.
Corporate “news journalist”. They are there to ensure that Biden reads his cue-cards more or less accurately.
A small point I guess – may be ignorance on my part – but how is “gas-lighting” different from the simple word “lying”?
ah – fighting the good fight against needless jargon
good luck with that, Anna
my favorite is “impactful”
Gas-lighting is a special form of lying; namely, lying to scare the hapless listener in to doing something he would not ordinarily do, especially if he were aware of the liar’s intent, e.g., “you need to vote Democrat to save democracy”.
The original meaning comes from the film Gaslight with Ingrid Bergman in which a woman is terrorized into thinking she is losing her mind.
Yes, gaslighting is a special form of lying. It’s the same as that of the torturer in 1984, who seeks to make his victim not only say that 2 + 2 = 5, but to lose his mind and believe it.
Biden’s economic policy.
Inflation will destroy the Low, Middle and Upper Class.
Federal Reserve electronically prints money out of thin air.
The Dollar will no longer be the ‘World’s Reserve Currency’.
Not “gaslighting”: LYING
Let’s not soften it. Biden is provably a liar and plagiarist and soon will be proven to have accepted bribes.
Of course Biden said that; that is what his handlers told him and told him to say.
Now exactly who are those handlers?
The WH staff hired by Obama and Soros.
Food has become incredibly expensive. The sad truth is that many of the things were produced and grown in the USA until we started putting corn in the gastank. Now farmers produce lots of corn for ethanol, instead of actual food. They are subsidized to do it. We had an incredible advantage over other countries with all our resources and self sufficiency– the only way other countries could outrun us is if we tie our own shoelaces together. Which is what we do now. The outrageous high price of beef is due to cattle feed costs being high which comes back to corn in the gas tanks instead of food in the fields. And the circle goes round and round.
Biden has gone beyond lying, to insulting. When people hear this, and know how painful the economy has become to them, they can only feel deep resentment toward him.
Sounds like 6 or 7 people from the so called ” press” clapping. What a complete joke. Not only are they told what to report but now they are required to clap on cue. Lord help us I hope this country lasts another year so we can elect a true leader.
How would Biden know food prices – his carers buy his food and feed him!
