Treasury Sec. Yellen: ‘I Regret Saying Inflation Was Transitory’
Biden Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen expressed regret for advancing the false talking point that inflation in the U.S. was “transitory.”
After first proclaiming in 2021 that inflation was a “transitory” phenomenon, Yellen finally admitted Wednesday on Fox Business that she was wrong about inflation as it continues to persist in America.
“I regret saying [inflation] was transitory,” Yellen said. “It has come down, but I think transitory means a few weeks to months to most people.”

Yellen, along with Joe Biden and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, insisted in 2021 that inflation was transitory as it was climbing to 9% year over year.
Fast forward three years later, and inflation has decreased to about 3%, still over the Fed’s arbitrary target rate of 2%.
But the devastating effects of inflation have remained, with most goods and services skyrocketing by at least 20% across the board.
SINCE BIDEN TOOK OFFICE:
— SUGAR: Up 44%
— BREAD: Up 30%
— BUTTER: Up 27%
— CHICKEN: Up 26%
— EATING OUT: Up 21%
— FOOD AT HOME: Up 21%
— RENT: Up 20% pic.twitter.com/sbWa8cKyZZ— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) March 13, 2024
Yellen however downplayed those concerns, admitting that although the prices of “some goods” have risen, Joe Biden’s “number one priority” is bringing prices down.

She also insisted that inflation is trending in a “favorable” direction downward despite inflation ticking back up over the last few months.
“Is inflation coming back?”

YELLEN: “I wouldn’t expect this to be a smooth path, month-to-month, but the trend is clearly favorable!”

However, the trade deficit, national debt, credit card debt, and government spending continuing to rise at break-neck pace are indicators that inflation will likely continue to track back up in the coming months and years until government spending is reduced or the Fed greatly raises interests rates to discourage rampant borrowing.
Jon Stewart Calls All Trump Supporters “F***ing” Redcoats In Angry, Divisive Rant
Elitist Democrat jester Jon Stewart told his audience that Trump supporters are their enemies by comparing them to the British Redcoats the Founding Fathers fought in the American Revolution.
“If you wanna love Trump, love him. Go to the rallies, buy the sneakers… You wanna give him absolute power, you want him to be the ruler Uber Alles, you want him to have the right of kings, you do you… but stop framing it as patriotism because the one thing you cannot say is that Donald Trump is following the tradition of the Founders.”
Stewart said Trump is doing “monarchy shit” but that people have the right to support him, adding, “Do me a favor for historical accuracy. Next time you wanna dress up at the rallies wear the right fucking color coats. That’s what you are!”
An image of British Redcoat soldiers was displayed over Stewart’s shoulder as he made the inflammatory remark.

Watch: Angry Parents Push Back Against School’s Secret LGBT Club for 3rd Graders
Parents of Sacramento County, California were outraged to find out their local school district was holding a secretive LGBT club for students.
Parents voiced their concerns during an Elk Grove Unified school board meeting earlier this month, where they explained how the school, rather than address the parents’ concerns, took steps for teachers to defend the club and further keep the activities secret.
“The establishment of a gay club in elementary school raises concerns about age appropriateness. While fostering inclusivity is vital, it’s crucial to evaluate the developmental readiness of our children’s young minds for such discussions,” one parent told the board.

Another parent told the board: “While I understand the importance of providing a safe space for all, I am deeply troubled by the intentional deception regarding the UVU Club.”
“It just seems that everything they did was very obviously trying to hide it from parents,” education activist Heidi Moore told NTD News.
“Because they didn’t require permission slips, they didn’t tell parents, they didn’t put it in the newsletter, and they held it at lunch time.”

Illegal Alien Crime Victims Could Sue Sanctuary Cities Under Proposed GOP Bill
Cities welcoming illegal aliens in violation of federal immigration laws could be held legally liable for felony crimes committed by those illegals against US citizens, according to a proposed Senate bill.
The “Justice for Victims of Sanctuary Cities Act,” introduced this week by Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), aims to provide families of victims of murder, rape, or any felony with legal avenues to seek relief if a jurisdiction declined to honor a lawful immigration detainer request.
The bill is one of two illegal immigration proposals sponsored by Sen. Tillis this week, with the “Immigration Detainer Enforcement Act” also aiming to clarify DHS detainer rules and incentivize coordination between the DHS and local jurisdictions.
“For too long, we have watched local jurisdictions in North Carolina and across the country ignore the lawful notification and detainer requests made by ICE agents and instead release dangerous criminals back into their communities and put innocent lives at risk,” Sen. Tillis’ office wrote in a statement.
“It is clear President Biden and liberal politicians want to prioritize reckless sanctuary policies over public safety. It is time for Congress to step in and put an end to this madness by holding sanctuary cities accountable and empowering ICE to gain custody of criminal illegal immigrants so they can’t cause more harm and violence.”
The suggested proposals come as Americans have been rocked by a wave of illegal immigrant crime over the past few months, while the southern border is inundated with thousands of illegal border crossers on a daily basis.
The Trump campaign has capitalized on Biden’s failure to secure the border with an ad highlighting the recent tragic murder of Georgia university student Laken Riley at the hands of a Venezuelan migrant with a long criminal rap sheet who was released into the country by border patrol.

Several NYC Employees Arrested in Covid Benefit Fraud Bust
18 government workers in New York City have been arrested Thursday for stealing approximately 170 identities in order to gain over $1 million in financial benefits related to the Covid pandemic, according to reports.
Some of the stolen identities belong to dead Americans. The crime ring was discovered through an investigation into ‘ghost guns’, or firearms that are not federally required to have serial numbers due to being privately manufactured and not for sale.
“In total 5 New York City DHS (Department of Homeless Services) employees as well as employees of the NYPD (New York Police Department), MTA (Metropolitan Transportation Authority), U.S. Postal Service and NYCHA (New York City Housing Authority) have been arrested and charged with conspiracy and other charges,” ABC 7 reporter Kristin Thorne said.
According to prosecutors, the Dept. Homeless Services employees are believed to have spearheaded the operation which netted $1.2 million in stolen unemployment funds between April 2020 and October 2021, as they had access to personal information of people in shelters.

RNC Co-chair Lara Trump: Preventing Cheating In November Is Top RNC Priority
RNC co-chair Lara Trump says that “protecting the vote” in the upcoming November election is the most critical task for the committee.
“We have three pillars that we need to focus on at the RNC to ensure victory on November 5, turn out the vote, protect the vote, and raise money,” she told Fox news‘ “Sunday Morning Futures” on March 10.
“But I would argue that maybe the most important of those three is protecting the vote, election integrity,” she added.

Trump was asked by host Maria Bartiromo about her opinion of Attorney General Merrick Garland’s speech earlier this month in which he suggested that it’s racist not to allow the least secure methods of casting a vote in America. On March 3, Mr. Garland said the U.S. Department of Justice was “fighting back” against “efforts by states and jurisdictions to implement discriminatory, burdensome, and unnecessary restrictions on access to the ballot, including those related to mail-in voting, the use of drop boxes, and voter ID requirements.” -Epoch Times
“We have to ensure that, when people go vote, they feel like their vote counts, that they are inspired to go vote. We can never allow what happened in 2020 and the questions surrounding that election to ever happen again,” said Trump.
Lara, the daughter-in-law of former President Donald Trump, suggested that Democrats are against voter ID because they seek to expand their voter base with illegal immigrants.
“Democrats are bleeding and hemorrhaging voters. They understand that they cannot fool people in this country any longer so they have to import people,” she said. “The only reason you wouldn’t want voter ID is if you want people who cannot vote to vote in these elections. It is insane.”
Roughly 81% of Americans support voter ID, according to a February poll by Pew Research. Along party lines, however, 95% favor the concept, while 69% of Democrats – still a majority, support it.
According to Lara Trump, the RNC has established an “election integrity division” and devoted “vast resources dedicated solely to this cause,” which include a “nationwide network of volunteers,” such as poll workers and poll watchers.
To those who might cheat in the upcoming election, “We will go after you [and] you will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law,” Trump said.
Legal Ballot Harvesting
As the Epoch Times notes further, Trump also told Ms. Bartiromo that the RNC would use legal ballot harvesting in this election cycle. “It is already underway, and we will expand it again,” she said.
Last week, Ms. Trump and Michael Whatley, chair of the North Carolina Republican Party, were elected to lead the RNC to replace Ronna McDaniel. Both were endorsed by President Trump last month.
The leadership overhaul comes just days after President Trump dominated the Republican presidential primaries on Super Tuesday on March 5, solidifying his hold on the Republican nomination and the party itself.Last month, Ms. Trump also told The Epoch Times in an exclusive interview that she would mount a ballot-harvesting campaign in this election, something Republicans have been averse to in the past.
“We need to have the biggest legal ballot harvesting operation this country has ever seen,” Ms. Trump said. “It feels, for a long time, like the Democrats have been playing chess, and we’ve been playing checkers,” she said. Her goal is for the Republican Party “to be the opposite, to be steps ahead of them, and on our toes, and ahead of the game, and facing forward the whole time.”
Ballot harvesting, legal in some states, allows people to deliver absentee or mail-in ballots to drop-off points on behalf of other voters. Republicans have been skeptical of the procedure, fearing it would lead to election fraud. Democrats have been much more willing to use the strategy.
“Whether or not [Democrats] do it legally, that’s up for discussion,” Ms. Trump said, adding that it’s time for Republicans to start “attacking the game differently.”
She also suggested that the RNC embrace early voting for the upcoming election. “The truth is, if we want to compete with the Democrats, we cannot wait until election day,” she said. “If we want to compete, we must embrace early voting.
