NATO is De Facto at war with Russia but is using Ukraine as a tool
*Sputnik * NATO allies will discuss increasing arms deliveries to Ukraine when the bloc's ministers of foreign affairs meet on 6 and 7 April, NATO secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg told the press on Tuesday.

Biden's American Rescue Plan cause of inflation
NY Post: President Joe Biden loves to blame our sky-high inflation on corporate greed and Vladimir Putin.

Specifically, it was the massive $1.9 trillion stimulus dumped into the US economy in early 2021 by the president’s American Rescue Plan. As the nearby chart demonstrates, the nation began heading into the inflationary stratosphere in early 2021, while other advanced economies, the other countries in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, have... read more

The West Is Afraid Fortunately For It And All Mankind
Fear and courage. A fearful man and a fearless fighter.

Democrats out of touch with their base
TownHall: ... It seems almost like POLITICO is describing the concerns of conservatives — but these were Democrats who always vote for Democrat candidates. Yet the surveyed voters are as fed up with rising prices and spiking crime as the rest of us. Notably, it shows that the White House's spin to blame inflation on Putin's invasion and greedy CEOs isn't playing well among Biden's base. It also shows why Biden has quickly scrambled to show action related to funding police departments and Democrats have tried to remove COVID restrictions, albeit not for all Americans and not in a... read more

Treasury Department Report Blasts Noncompete Agreements
I wrote awhile back about President Biden's executive order on noncompete agreements. In it, he asked the FTC and other agencies to look into curtailing the use of noncompete and other anti-competitive agreements and practices. The Treasury Department just issued a report, presumably in an effort to comply, and it's damning in the extreme on the topic of noncompete agreements. Some juicy excerpts: Firms can engage in tacit collusion by sharing wage information for different occupations, conspiring to fix wages, adopting no-poach agreements where firms agree not to hire other fi... read more

Cousins?
Susan Delacourt writes that there are similarities between Pierre Poilievre and Justin Trudeau: There’s something oddly familiar about Pierre Poilievre’s campaign in the early days of the Conservative leadership race. Intentionally or not, it bears some of the hallmarks of Justin Trudeau’s leadership campaign nearly a decade ago. Ten years ago, Trudeau talked of how he made Conservatives “nutty.” Meanwhile, former Conservative leader Erin O’Toole famously said Poilievre makes Liberals “quiver” — a boast that drew scoffs from Trudeau’s side of the House. But there’s no question th... read more

MARKET-SEGMENTED DEMONIZATION
Many observers have noted that the right's current habit of referring to critics of its anti-LGBT legislation as "groomers" is an attempt to modify and mainstream the QAnon theory that the world is run by a cabal of liberal pedophiles, which until now has been seen as a crackpottery even by many committed liberal-bashers. Yesterday Jonathan Chait explained precisely how the mainstreaming is meant to work, using the example of Florida governor Ron DeSantis's "Don't Say Gay" bill, whoe critics were accused of being "groomers" by the governor's press secretary, and subsequently by nearl... read more

Desperate Dems told to demonize Trump in 2022
