Bidenflation’ — The next thing big tech censors. They’ve already started.
By: John Dougherty
Biden and congressional democrats incredibly stupid economic ideas and dumb tax plans are going to create many problems all across our economy. Bidenflation is here…

Inflation has risen substantially since President Joe Biden assumed office in January, but Sean Parnell, a U.S. military vet and candidate for the U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, says that topic appears to be the next one to fall prey to social media censorship.
“Big Tech & their partisan leftwing ‘fact checkers’ don’t care about the truth, they only care about protecting Biden & the Dems,” he posted on Twitter along with a graphic showing price increases for a basket of commodities depicting a “missing context” label.
“We’re seeing rising gas prices & record inflation because of Joe’s 2 trillion dollar spending boondoggle & his decision to cripple our energy sector,” Parnell, a staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump who barely lost a race for Pennsylvania’s 17th congressional district in November, added.
He also included screenshots of other tweets in which he blames Biden’s economic policies as being responsible for the “hidden tax” of inflation on all Americans.
“No bueno. Printing money & infusing trillions of dollars into our economy can have disastrous consequences. Americans are feeling the pain of @joebiden’s poor economic policy every day, in everything we do,” he wrote in one of the tweets.
“Inflation is a tax on all of us. Especially our seniors and those on fixed incomes. We simply must do better,” he noted.
In another screenshotted tweet, Parnell noted the warning label.
“The fact check on this post is ridiculous,” he wrote, adding: “Most post does not lack context. Printing trillions causes inflation. Period. Inflation hurts those on fixed incomes.”
In his graphic, Parnell said that gas prices between June 2020 and June 2021 had risen more than 45 percent, while energy overall was up 24.5 percent during the same period.
Fuel oil prices have risen 44.5 percent and used vehicle prices have gone up by more than 45 percent. Food (up 2.4 percent) and clothing (4.9 percent increase) have also gone up, while transportation services costs have risen as well by more than 10 percent, likely due to higher fuel costs.
Some economists appear to concur with Parnell, noting that much of the inflationary pressure has to do with monetary policy.
“So, another $4.5 trillion in federal spending is just what the country needs, right?” Larry Kudlow, CNBC host and former director of then-President Donald Trump’s National Economic Council, wrote in a Wednesday column in regards to the Biden administration’s push, along with congressional Democrats, for new spending bills on infrastructure and political priorities. “The Senate Democrats on the budget committee have proposed the budget resolution that would do just that.
“They’re proud of it, and so is President Biden, so I don’t want to be the skunk at the garden party. I don’t want to be the guy that takes away the punch bowl, but I think most folks know that we already have a post-pandemic economic boom, and whether it’s temporary or not, a big increase in inflation,’ he added. So seriously, do we need this $4.5 trillion?”
CEOs are also sounding the alarm, according to Axios .
But it’s the censorship issue that Parnell is also clearly concerned about.
Throughout the 2020 election cycle, social media platforms were accused, in just one example, of suppressing damaging information about Hunter Biden and even his father, then the Democratic presidential nominee, new details of which were revealed Wednesday evening by former U.S. Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) during an appearance on Fox News’s “Hannity.”
Also, social media sites have since kicked former President Trump off their platforms, claiming he violated their safety rules by “inciting” the Jan. 6 “insurrection” at the U.S. Capitol Building.
Now, according to Parnell and others, it appears the platforms are willing to suppress information regarding rising inflation during Biden’s administration.
“‘Missing Context’ is fact-checker speak for ‘this is true but against the narrative,'” Human Events senior editor Jack Prosobiec noted in retweeting Parnell’s inflation graphic.
A truly ignorant article. Nothing but partisan drivel.
And yet you can't refute anything said within.
Just more ignorant leftist partisan drivel
The article is so blatantly false it refutes itself. The Fed Chairman said yesterday that the current boost in inflation is likely to ease, has been driven largely by temporary factors such as temporary supply shortages and rising consumer demand as pandemic-related business restrictions are lifted. Not Biden's economic ideas or tax plans.
The censorship allegation is, of course, a lie
Reich-wing propagandists compound falsehood on top of falsehood. Ignorant reich-wingers believe the bullshit.
I’m interested in what was written within the article that you disagree with and why? Are you not worried about adding 6 trillion to the debt during an economic boom time? What will they do when the next recession hits and they can’t cut interest rates to stimulate spending because they have to raise them to fight inflation. Then what happens to the interest rates and minimum payment On the debt and the budget?
The fact is Presidents have very little control over inflation, and the effects we're now seeing were caused much longer ago than just within the few months Biden's been in office.
We just lived through one of the worst years in US history with skyrocketing unemployment, jobs closing their doors, restaurants going belly up, 600,000 dead Americans, the entire country quarantined for almost a year, but Republicans, who of course were in power that entire year, are now blaming Democrats who took over and are digging our nation out of a hole proposing infrastructure spending that we desperately need both on the jobs side and decaying infrastructure side. Will dumping a lot of money into the economy have some effect on inflation? Of course it will, but what would be the alternative? Just letting the economy shrivel and die leaving millions of Americans out of work or unable to feed their family? Just letting the next great depression happen to keep prices down? That's insanity, even though some half wit right wing conservatives will whine and moan about having to pay a dollar more per gallon of gas.
Actual infrastructure spending is mostly non-partisan now. Businesses have been lobbying their Republican Congress Critters to pass it and even Moscow Mitch is quietly agreeing to it now. It's only the alt+right tools like Ron Johnson that won't get onboard because they see it as a win for Democrats. You know any win for Democrats (even if it benefits their voters) is bad.
No one is opposed to the one trillion hard infrastructure bill. Thats needed. The issue is what came before it this year and what might follow it.
LOl... What a preposterous false choice...
Are you forgetting that rising prices hurt the poor and disadvantaged the most?
I thought the left cared about the less fortunate.
The Republicans are not responsible for havoc caused by the pandemic, and the Dems out of control spending is just makings worse
"Now, according to Parnell and others, it appears the platforms are willing to suppress information regarding rising inflation during Biden’s administration."
Gee, is there a list? A Google search for US inflation 2021 comes up with 199,000,000 hits.
How many hits tying Biden to inflation blaming his policies for it?
How many are you looking for? Finding just one seems to have convinced you.
What has Biden done to cripple our energy sector?
Seriously?
Yes, seriously. If you have any actual facts you can post them here or you can try to BS your way through it.
"Approvals for oil and gas drilling on American public lands are set this year to reach their highest level since George W Bush was president, casting doubt on President Biden’s green agenda."
"However, the Interior Department approved some 2,500 permits in the first six months of this year, according to an analysis by the Associated Press, including 2,100 since Biden took office on January 20."
"New Mexico and Wyoming had the largest number, while Montana, Colorado and Utah each had hundreds. Decisions were pending on a further 4,700 drilling."
Please stop posting facts, it's upsetting to the author and seeder of the article.
You just shit all over the snowflakes parade of lies.
The first link is already BS since Biden is approving drilling at a record pace.
The second link is about the Keystone pipeline which has never delivered a drop of oil and in fact the expansion of existing pipelines from Canada has more than made up for what Keystone if completed, could move.
The third link is about not leasing on federal lands, this of course is BS since Biden has approved 2100 leases thus far..
Three strikes and your out and still embarrassingly factless.
"In his graphic, Parnell said that gas prices between June 2020 and June 2021 had risen more than 45 percent, while energy overall was up 24.5 percent during the same period"
'Bidenflation' started in June 2020? Okay, whatever.
He was probably using the Mayan calendar.
I really don't understand why some posters never cross check their seeds.
Actually I do, but flags will fly.
And of course the producers are tempering their output even among the high demand. You wonder why, could it be to keep fuel cost high...Naw, they wouldn't do that.
I see that the seeder doesn't have any facts to present to bolster his case. Not surprising at all his being factless.
