Shut Up About January 6

Congress doesn’t care that Americans can’t afford food.

Politicians make me sick. Why? Let me explain.

They exist solely to serve their electorate — to address societal problems whose scale or complexity requires more than the response of an individual. And right now, under President Joe Biden’s dementia-addled leadership, the country is drowning in problems.

On Friday, for example, inflation hit yet another 40-year record-high, with prices soaring 8.6% in the year through May. From 2021, gasoline is up 48.7%. Used cars are up 16.1%. Shelter is up 5.5%. Food is up 10.1%, so much so that the majority of Americans are taking fewer trips to the grocery store. All while the Dow plunged by nearly 800 points.

Americans are suffering as their hard-earned monetary worth is eroded by inflation — whether it be at the gas pump, in the grocery store, or as part of a descending 401(k) balance. Let alone the feckless emasculation of the United States on the world stage, or the surging immigration crisis on the border with Mexico, or any other number of here-and-now crises.

And what is the Democratic Party — and the mainstream media — focused on instead? Publicized “primetime” hearings on the January 6 riots.

Frankly, who cares?
