"President Biden used the phrase "Putin's price hike" again in a reaction to Friday's Consumer Price Index report revealing continued high inflation, showing once again that the US government believes Americans are idiots."

One thing the US government does happen to get right: quite a few Americans are ignorant.

To be fair, most people simply don't have the time necessary to read deeply into current affairs.

Yes, I agree; it takes time to dig up the information necessary to understand what is really going on in the world politics and a lot of us don't have it.

That's why I find it very useful to have a high quality and trustworthy source of information like this blog.

you forgot self-serving. If they really looked, then they might find out how much of their life is subsidized by abusing people, animals and the environmental ecosystems around the world. Better to accept the tender loving sniffs of Biden than wake up and smell the blood.

Cowards. We have to show them how to be decent human beings, and real patriots.

The Proud Boys are a case in point. How they can be proud is anyone's guess but we can be certain arrogant ignorance is at the core of it.
