The 'Morning' Political Post: Too Much Inflation

Just too much.

But first, Stacy McCain sees ‘A Difficult Midterm’ for Democrats "Nice understatement from Politico. . . To say it’s going to be “a difficult midterm” for Democrats is sort of like saying the 7th Cavalry had a “difficult” day at Little Bighorn." Breitbart has  Poll: Biden’s Approval Rating Sinks to 39 Percent as Gas Prices Hit Record High for 4th Straight Day, and Plurality Say Russia Would Not Have Invaded Ukraine if Trump Were President. Cutie Pavlich at Town Hall, Dems in Disarray Are Calling Their Retreat 'Cursed'. I&I, The ‘Hobbes Index’ Is Making A Comeback Under Biden," “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.” And Jordan Boyd at Da Fed says Yes, Biden Will Absolutely Blame Putin For Every Domestic Crisis Until The Midterms.

Rick Moran at PJ Media, Oh No! Harris County, Texas, Election Administrator 'Finds' 10,000 Mail-In Ballots Days After the Election. John Solomon at JTN, Texas election commissioner resigns after 10,000 uncounted ballots found in last week's primary. YaHoo! Texas flagged 27,000 mail ballots for rejection in primary. At Da Wire, 27,000 Texas Primary Ballots Flagged Under New Election Laws, "approximately 17% of mail-in votes in 120 counties."

At WaEx, Paul Bedard writes ‘Election integrity’ turns white-hot, and all minorities favor voter ID laws. Only people who expect to cheat oppose them. Insty, EVERYONE NOT LOOKING TO COMMIT FRAUD FAVORS VOTER ID LAWS! All minority groups favor voter ID laws. "Looks significantly at democrats in “you know, diluting real votes with fake ones is disenfranchising voters, right? Sure. I know you do.” HE, Florida Lawmakers Pass Bill to Create First Ever Elections Police Force. Democrats outraged. At the Center Square (Penn), Election security, rule of law dominate Pennsylvania hearing, and John Solomon again, Ballot Bombshells: 20 episodes exposing fraud, illegalities and irregularities in 2020 election, "Illegal rule changes, ballot harvesting, Iranian voter hack are among the many now-confirmed serious irregularities, putting the lie to the "perfect election" narrative." At the Denver Omelet Gazette, Tina Peters surrenders on felony warrant, vows to keep campaigning for secretary of state. She kept copies of hard drives to search for voting fraud. 

Will Georgia be Trump's Waterloo (again)? asked AllahPundit at Haut Hair hopefully. Mark Judge, cited at Insty,  Barr Focuses on Trump, but He Also Dissects the Many Problems With the Far Left: The modern left, the former attorney general concludes, has an ‘incipient totalitarian style’ that is ‘poisoning America’s political life.’ "Mr. Barr calls the charges that Russia helped Mr. Trump win the 2016 election bogus, saying they were “mendacious and fraudulent attempts to invalidate the legitimate election of an American President.”"

From I&I, If You Thought The COVID Thought Police Were Bad, You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet and Totalitarianism And The Face Mask War. At Da Wire  California Authorities Raid Preschool Locations, Privately Interview Young Children Over Mask Policy Without Parental Consent. KT at Haut Hair, San Diego preschools raided by officials for failure to enforce mask mandate. Rick Moran at PJ Media, The Results Are in on the Effectiveness of Remote Learning During COVID, and as parents suspected, they're not good. "Early reading skills — skills that often make the difference for children in the poorest schools — are at a 20 year low, according to one study. It’s not surprising considering that kindergarten was canceled in most public schools in 2020."

At Am Spec, Larry Thornberry observes how The Left Lashes Out Against Florida’s Parental Rights Bill. 'Bonchie' at  Red State, Disney Tried to Pressure Ron DeSantis Into Bowing to the Woke Mob — Here's How That Went. Ace, Governor DeSantis: Weird How the Disney Is So Passionately Opposed to the Anti-Grooming Bill But Can't Find Its Tongue to Say a Word About Its Business Partners In China. At Da Mail, Florida's parental rights bill is NOT a 'Don't Say Gay' bill. It is a full-throated defense of moms and dads against the state-sponsored progressive brainwashing of their kids. Insty cites Spec World, FLORIDA’S ‘DON’T SAY GAY’ BILL PLAYS INTO DESANTIS’S HANDS:

In refusing to kowtow to Democratic histrionics — which DeSantis has been doing since early in the pandemic — the governor adopted a signature rhetorical move of his own: he set the political frame and never bended to faux emotionality or backtracked once committed to a position. DeSantis understands that if you don’t fall for Democrats’ emotional blackmail, eventually they’ll have to defend the inconvenient facts. If they scream “don’t say gay,” you counter with “are you okay with a random teacher talking to little kids about sexuality?” and let them attempt to sell that line to normal Americans.

Miranda Devine at NYPo points out hoe even The White House is spreading vile lies about the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill. Meawhile WaEx observes Chasten Buttigieg leads camp for gay teenagers in pledge of allegiance to pride flag. Grooming. At Da Caller, Activists To Host Sex-Ed Camp For Children Teaching That ‘Gender Is A Spectrum,’ Include Condom Demonstration. 3d to 5th graders. Vicky Ta ft at PJ Media hear Wash. School's 'Gay and Sexuality' Advisor's Cat Box Caper Leaves Parents and Students Disgusted. Butt sex jokes for high school chemistry. At Da Fed, Nathanael Blake points out The Studies Cited To Support Gender-Bending Kids Are Largely Junk Science. From Insties ANNALS OF LEFTIST AUTOPHAGY: Drag Queen Who Says Biden Is a ‘Senile’ ‘White Supremacist’ Scheduled To Perform at Dem Retreat. Even Drag Queens have moments of lucidity. Wa Free Bee, Fortune 500 Company Hosts Trans Activist for ‘International Women’s Day’ Talk, Paula Stone Williams attacked Christians for anti-trans 'bigotry'. No more Corning cookware for us. 

Spencer Lindqvist at Da Fed hears a Texas Private School Defends Political Violence, Tells White People: ‘Re-Educate Yourself’ "Among the resources listed for upper school students was an appalling article titled “In Defense of Looting,” which uses the politics of racial grievance to defend acts of political violence, calling looting “one of the most righteous anti-white supremacist tactics.”" LI's Mike LaChance reports how San Diego State U. Suspends Prof for Showing a Slide With Racial Epithets in a Class About Race and posted by Ramona Bessinger at LI, Parents Are Fighting A Racialized “Equity Audit” In N. Kingstown, RI, And So Far We’re Winning, via the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 03.10.22 (Evening Edition). Also, from the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 03.10.22 (Afternoon Edition) at LI, Stacy Matthews ‘Woke’ Liberals Prove UVA Student’s Point in Her Op-Ed About Fear to Speak Out in Case Someone Gets Offended. Bernard Goldberg on the Da Hill on Progressive discrimination: Your kids matter, unless they're Asian

Kylee Zempel at Da Fed, Whistleblower: FBI Is Just Now Asking Basic Questions About Jan. 6 Pipe Bombs — A Year Into Its Investigation. For some reason, it doesn't appear to be a topic of urgency. From the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 03.10.22 (Evening Edition), at Behind the Black, Today’s blacklisted American: FBI drops trumped up charges that caused January 6th protester to commit suicide. Kevin Downey at PJ Media, FBI Quietly Drops Charges Against J6 Defendant Who Committed Suicide. I don't understand the concept of trying a dead man. Front Page, Confirmed: There Was No January 6 ‘Insurrection’, "A Pulitzer Prize-winning NY Times reporter spills the truth on an undercover Project Veritas video." Althouse, "These f*cking little dweebs who keep going on about their trauma. Shut the f*ck up. They’re f*cking b*tches."

Said NYT National Security Correspondent, Matthew Rosenberg, quoted in "Pulitzer Prize Winning New York Times Reporter: January 6 Media Coverage ‘Overreaction,’ FBI Involved, Event Was Not Organized Despite Ongoing Narrative" (Project Veritas).

You have to watch the video to get the full effect. Poor Rosenberg seems to be having such a lovely time impressing the unseen woman who is tricking him into chattering about his work . . .

The unsinkable Mollie Hemingway at Da Fed thinks J6 Committee Seeks To Criminalize Republican Fundraising. Thanks, Liz Cheney! "If crying ‘rigged election’ were a crime, the entire Democrat Party and much of the media establishment would be in prison." Matt Margolis at PJ Media, RNC Fights Back Against Partisan J6 Committee, Files Lawsuit. The complaint. Althouse, "Wisconsin liberals on Thursday filed a federal lawsuit alleging that Republican Sen. Ron Johnson and two other GOP congressmen are insurrectionists in violation of the U.S. Constitution..."

"... for their words and actions in support of Donald Trump leading up to the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. The lawsuit, alleging a violation of the 'Disqualification Clause' of the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, says Johnson, R-Oshkosh, and U.S. Reps. Tom Tiffany, R-Minocqua, and Scott Fitzgerald, R-Juneau, conspired to undermine President Joe Biden's victory and sow public distrust of the outcome." Madison.com reports.

This loathsome lawsuit has no chance of success, other than as a stunt that will appeal to partisans.

The redoubtable Julie Kelly at Am Great continues to look into the Whitmer kidnapping conspiracy organized and funded by the FBI,  ‘Stoned Crazy Talk, Not a Plan’ Say Whitmer Defendants, "Finding out which high-ranking politicians and government officials were in on the Whitmer “kidnapping” caper just became a major part of a growing scandal."
