No old jokes permitted.

Nevertheless, I remember James Earl Carter and his 'Misery Index' well. Stagflation. High unemployment combined with sky high interest rates causing lack of demand in the economy and long, long, long gas lines and skyrocketing gas prices. Carter era bumper sticker...CARTER, KISS MY GAS. All that combined with an utterly feckless foreign policy that gave the Soviet Union the idea they could invade Afghanistan without any pushback and Iran the idea they could take US Embassy personnel hostage and hold them hostage for more than 400 days.

Virginia BP Gas Station Charges $6.99 per Gallon amid Fuel Shortage

A gas station in Richmond, Virginia, charged customers $6.99 a gallon Tuesday not long after the governor declared a state of emergency because of the Colonial Pipeline ransomware cyberattack that caused gasoline shortages.

According to WTVR, Lether Kerney, who pulled up to the BP gas station on Williamsburg Road, said, “It was a lot of people there, no one looked at the price.”

“I had half a tank of gas, so when it got to $25 I started looking to see what was going on. And after I got to $30, I was like, ‘oh my God! I spent $35.45 to fill up my tank. Six gallons of gas for $35. That’s absolutely ridiculous,'” she continued.

Kerney said when she arrived and began filling up, she did not realize the station was charging $5.99 a gallon.

A resident named Cha Cha said she watched the price go up once she filled her vehicle’s tank for $2.99.

“Came home, got the gas cans, literally in that span of time and I live two blocks from here, and it was $4.99,” she recalled, adding, “So then I drove up the road to get gas at a $2.99 gas station, came back through here, it was $5.99. And now it’s $6.59.”

Running the # 1 superpower country in the world was not the right fit job for a man of gawd.

Worst President in US history until Barack Hussein Obama came along and eclipsed Carter in about a year and a half. Now, Joe Biden is well on his way to pushing Carter and Obama down the 'worst list'.[/B]

No 'old joke', sir. I don't buy into the degenerate modern notion that our elders are a burden with nothing to contribute.

We've all been told so many times that Carter was the archetypical nice but ball less guy, most of us now believe it. First hand knowledge is the most powerful tool we have against propaganda.

CNN’s Phillip: ‘Searing Visuals’ of Gas Lines Coupled with Inflation Bring People Back to Carter Era

CNN anchor Abby Phillip said Sunday on “Inside Politics” that the gas lines caused by a cyberattack on a pipeline and inflation fears remind Americans of the administration of former President Jimmy Carter.

Phillip said, “Domestically here in the United States, you have these really, I think, searing visuals. If you’re of a certain age, it particularly brings you back to — I think Republicans would love to bring people back to the Carter years. But these gas lines it is a psychological problem. Maybe it is temporary, but for the American public, there is something psychological about hearing about inflation and seeing gas lines and literally going to the pump in certain Southern states and not being able to get gas.”...........

Mo Brooks: Biden Has ‘Worst 100 Days of Any President’ in U.S History

Congressman Mo Brooks (R-AL), a candidate for U.S. Senate in Alabama, joined SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Saturday, where he discussed President Joe Biden’s agenda and policies, saying he has potentially had “the worst 100 days of any president in the history of the United States.”

On President Biden’s agenda and job performance, Brooks said the administration operates in an “alternate reality.”

“In a general sense, the Biden Administration is operating in an alternate reality,” Brooks said. “They are not in the same reality you and I are in, or that the rest of American citizens are in. It’s almost like Alice in Wonderland looking through the looking glass.”

“For example, on an economic level, the idea that paying people not to work would actually cause people not to work is one that American people understand infinitely,” Brooks stated. “But the Biden Administration is in this alternative economic reality, this fantasy land and they don’t get it. They persist on paying people not to work and then act surprised when the people don’t work…”
