Highest Inflation Surge in Nearly Four Decades
 
Bad news for Americans: The latest Consumer Price Index numbers are in. It's bad. Americans are seeing a 6.8% price increase in November compared to last year. That's the largest annual increase in over 39 years!

What that means for pocketbooks: Real average hourly earnings decreased 1.9%, with inflation eating up workers' wage gains.

Biden's reckless spending sprees are making everything more expensive. Just look at the numbers:
  • Gas: 🔺 58.1% since last year
  • Bacon:  🔺 21%
  • Eggs:  🔺 8%
  • Steak:  🔺 24.6%
  • Propane & Firewood:  🔺 34.3%
  • Furniture:  🔺11.8%
  • Used Cars & Trucks:  🔺 31.4%
  • Coffee:  🔺 7.5%
  • Cigarettes:  🔺 9.4%
  • Hotels & Motels:  🔺 25.5%
  • Car & Truck Rentals:  🔺 37.2%
  • Bikes:  🔺 9.4%
Who does this hurt: More than 70% of households making less than $40,000 have experienced financial hardship due to Bidenflation.

Biden is making it worse: Biden is pushing his $2 trillion Build Back Broke agenda, which will only make inflation worse.
  • New Congressional Budget Office numbers out on Friday showed if Biden's new policies were made permanent, it could add nearly $3 trillion to the national debt.
  • RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel: "Joe Biden and the Democrats' Build Back Broke agenda created historically high inflation, making Americans pay more for nearly everything this holiday season...Americans can thank Biden and the Democrats for the most expensive holiday season on record."
Gas. Groceries. Gifts. Americans are paying more for nearly everything this holiday season because of Joe Biden and Democrats' failed policies.
Biden Lies: One Year Since Biden Promised No Vaccine Mandate
 
This week marked the one-year anniversary of Biden's vow that he "wouldn't demand [the vaccine] to be mandatory."
  • The Biden Administration argues for months a vaccine mandate would be a counterproductive overreach.
  • Press Secretary Psaki said, that's 'not a role that the federal government even has the power to make."
Politically expedient: All of these promises went out the window when it was no longer politically expedient and Biden announced Americans could be fired for not complying with his federal mandate.
  • Republicans Fighting Back: The Republican National Committee, GOP-led states, and small businesses sued and we are winning in court, freezing the mandate from going into effect.
Voters know: Democrats are more worried about advancing their draconian policies than they are preserving individual liberties. Just look at what they're doing at the state and local levels: These mandates hit our frontline workers and small businesses hardest. That's bad for everyone, but thankfully Republicans are fighting back and winning.
  • "The Biden administration does not have the authority to force hardworking Americans to choose between being vaccinated and providing for their families," RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel.
"This egregious affront to constitutionality and freedom must not be allowed to stand - that's why the RNC is suing the Biden administration to defend the rights of every American."

SUPREME COURT INJECTS CHAOS INTO NC ELECTIONS

December 8, 2021
For Immediate Release

Under Republican leadership, state lawmakers conducted a redistricting process marked by unrivaled transparency, in full view of the public, producing maps as dictated by the Constitution and previous court orders.

In stark contrast, the Democrat majority in the N.C. Supreme Court, cloaked in secrecy, just blocked primary elections for hundreds of candidates who already filed to run for office. This just injected more chaos and confusion into elections at the direct expense of the people of North Carolina.

We look forward to the high court hearing the actual merits of this case and a final ruling that acknowledges the most transparent redistricting process in history, affirming the legality of the maps that process produced.


 
Congratulations to Senator Norman Sanderson on being inducted into the NCGOP Hall of Fame!

 


I mourn for American lives lost during Biden's bungled Afghanistan withdrawal and for the Americans he left behind.

I will not let the media bury this story with the next news cycle.

I can't protest in the streets every day.
Contact Bob Cavanaugh for more information. For a ribbon, contact Dianne Tetreault ($5 each). All funds collected will be donated to help organize an American Lives Matter in Raleigh next October.
