I skipped over a lot yesterday to get in all the J6 coverage, but that's down to a dull roar again until the next hearing date, so I guess it's back to regular order.
Insty, HOW LOW CAN HE GO?
Biden polls his worst yet — and headed lower.
As Biden and the Democrats poll worse among inflation and shortages, their politics become more confrontational and authoritarian. It’s like they secretly want a genuine insurrection. At this rate, they’re going to wind up with people thinking of the January 6 protesters as martyrs who tried to save us from disaster.
Da Caller even reports a Poll that shows Biden Slips Underwater In Massachusetts For The First Time. Wow! Jazz Shaw at Haut Air VIP sees Democrats wanting to cut Biden loose coming out of the closet. At Althouse, "The presidency is a monstrously taxing job and the stark reality is the president would be closer to 90 than 80 at the end of a second term, and that would be a major issue." "Said David Axelrod, with a distinctively clever way to state the numerical fact, quoted in "Should Biden Run in 2024? Democratic Whispers of ‘No’ Start to Rise. In interviews, dozens of frustrated Democratic officials, members of Congress and voters expressed doubts about the president’s ability to rescue his reeling party and take the fight to Republicans" (NYT)."

Atop Da Hill, Supreme Court permits counting of Pennsylvania mail ballots with missing dates. Doubling down on their refusal to support election laws. “When a mail-in ballot is not counted because it was not filled out correctly, the voter is not denied the right to vote,” Alito wrote. “Rather, that individual’s vote is not counted because he or she did not follow the rules for casting a ballot."

Dana Pico at First Street Journal celebrates as Chesa Boudin gets kicked to the curb. "Mr Boudin is right: the voters were frustrated and outraged, but he never really got it: they were frustrated and outraged at him and his policies, because his policies didn’t work. One would think that someone as intelligent and educated as Mr Boudin would be able to see that, regardless of what he wants to believe, his liberal policies made things worse, not better." Annie Lowry at the Slantic (cited by MSN) isn't pleased, What Chesa Boudin Revealed About an Undemocratic Election System. At Mediaite, Los Angeles Deputy DA Calls Boss Gascón the ‘Champ’ of Criminals, ‘You’re Not Going to Be Punished.’ Will he be next?

Sundance at CTH, May Inflation Higher Than all Expectations at 8.6 Percent, Energy, Gasoline, Food Prices Continue Climbing.
'Becca Downs at Town Hall sees that White House Economist Can't Explain Biden's 'Plan' on Inflation. That's because they don't have one. Sundance, Western Economic Inflation is a Feature, Not a Flaw, Currently Hidden Behind the Purposefully Useful Sanctions Against Russia. A little tin-foil hattish, but not necessarily wrong. AllahPundit at Haut Hair, Biden on today's grisly inflation report: That "Putin price hike" really takes a bite, "They’re still sticking with this dopey talking point, huh?" At Da Wire, President Biden Blames Vladimir Putin For Record-High Inflation. Sundance, Biden Tries Blaming Russia for White House Energy Policy and Inflation. The buck doesn't even slow down as it flies past the Resolute Desk, Capt. Ed at Haut Hair, "More money than God": Biden doubles down on "corporate greed" as excuse for inflation. Funny that companies weren't as greedy when Trump was in office. Even Janet Yellen ain't buyin' at WaEx, Janet Yellen bucks liberal talking point that corporations are driving inflation. Guy Benson@guypbenson, "I’m relieved Yellen is assuring us that a recession is unlikely. She totally nailed it on inflation!"
At CNS News, Rep. Kevin Hern: ‘The American People Don’t Believe That Inflation Is Only 8% … Everything Is Up Double Digit’. I do think the indexes tend to understate it.

All should note the article “Average U.S. gas prices top $5 a gallon, as surging energy costs squeeze economy.” in The Washington Post.
The same Washington Post that is the only newspaper for most Northern Virginians who get one.
That article shows again the depths to which the progressive press will descend to deny the effects of the conscious policies of the left on domestic energy production.
At PJ Media Matt Margolis experiences a FLASHBACK: When ‘Experts’ Claimed Gas Prices Would NOT Skyrocket Under Biden. Jon Dougherty at the Conservative Brief, says the Results Are In: Most Americans Believe Biden Intentionally Keeping Gas Prices High. Paul Bedard at WaEx reports Aggies organize to challenge #Bidenflation “The Left long ago lost touch with rural America’s culture and values, and Ag Conservatives will be relentless in pushing back on overreaching and misguided policies while promoting the pro-agriculture reforms needed to ensure our farms are here for generations to come,” Executive Director Jeff Snow said."

Compare to pharmaceutical innovation and manufacture. Anything that triggers a new FDA product application is extremely expensive." CNN admits A tampon shortage is the latest nightmare for women. "The shortages appear to stem from supply constraints around key materials like cotton and plastic, which are also used in personal protective equipment, and have been in high demand from the start of the pandemic. The war in Ukraine has further crimped supply because Russia and Ukraine are both major exporters of fertilizer, which is used to grow cotton. A drought in Texas hasn't helped, either."
