I spoke with a friend in Southern California who said she's paying 6 bucks per gallon for gas. Here, it's pushing 5 bucks.

And we went to the grocery store today and dropped $125 on groceries that may have been doubled in volume at this time a year ago.

The only "wild card" here is how much of this he can blame on Biden, or Obama, and we've heard him "vent" about Obama's nuke deal. And he's running just as fast as his little bone spur-ridden feet will take him to get BACK TO IT, but without Obama's SIGNATURE, which will make it SO MUCH BETTER.

That's the pathology we're dealing with. He wanted to erase one more piece of Obama's legacy while distracting us from Epstein.

Sounds stupid as all hell, I know, but also accurate as hell.
