The Democrats will suffer historic losses in the November midterms. <\/span><\/p>\n

This disaster for their party will come about not just because of the Afghanistan debacle, an appeased Vladimir Putin\u2019s invasion of Ukraine, the destruction of the southern border, the supply chain mess, or their support for critical race theory demagoguery.  <\/span><\/p>\n

The culprit for the political wipeout will be out-of-control inflation\u2014and for several reasons.  <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

One quibble. Tactically, it is not a good idea to predict loss for our enemies. It makes our side complacent. It is better to assume that the fight is tooth and nail, bite and scratch, right up to the end.   <\/span><\/p>\n

Leftists are not likely to be intimidated or demoralized by our bold predictions. They live for the political. That is their sphere and for them it exhausts the real.  That's all they've got and so they fight to the end by any and all means.  We are at a disadvantage.  I call it the Conservative Disadvantage<\/a>. Not only are we hobbled by our virtues, we cannot bring to the fight the full measure of our enthusiasm  precisely because we understand that the political does not exhaust the real.<\/span><\/p>\n

And seriously, do you think the Dems are likely to abjure the electoral chicanery that contributed to their win in 2020?<\/span><\/p>\n

Now go read the article<\/a>.  Excerpt:<\/span><\/p>\n

Fifth, Americans know that our current inflation is self-induced, not a product of a war abroad, an earthquake, or the exhaustion of gas and oil deposits. <\/span><\/p>\n

Biden ignored the natural inflationary buying spree of consumers who were released from being locked down for nearly two years unable to spend. <\/span><\/p>\n

Instead, he encouraged gorging that huge demand by printing trillions of dollars of funny money for all sorts of new redistributionist entitlements, green projects, and pet congressional programs. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Biden Administration eroded the work ethic. It kept labor non-participation rates high by subsidizing with federal checks those staying at home. <\/span><\/p>\n

It nihilistically slashed gas and oil production by canceling federal leases, oilfields, and pipelines while pressuring banks not to lend for fracking. <\/span><\/p>\n

In just a year, Biden reduced America from the greatest producer of gas and oil in the history of civilization to an energy panhandler begging the Saudis and Russians to pump more of the oil that America needs but will not tap for itself. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
