This is classic narrative manipulation—take a headline number, strip it of context, and sell panic. But the underlying data tells a different story. Energy spikes tied to war aren’t the same as systemic inflation. Navarro is right: strip out the shock, and the trend is cooling. That matters. The danger isn’t inflation right now—it’s overreaction. Tighten policy based on noise, and you choke off real recovery. Ignore the noise, and you let fundamentals play out. The people screaming the loudest aren’t analyzing—they’re framing. And if you don’t separate signal from spin, you’re playing their game.
We are seeing this same technique of manipulation by MSM everywhere. Even Trump’s “Jesus” meme showing him in a robe like Jesus is being used to wack Christians on their noses with a newspaper like a bad dog that pooped in the house. Aren’t we all told to be like Jesus? Trump said God is Good. 😤 The frustration level with the propaganda machine is ridiculous.
Everyone with any active brain matter knows the oil prices will affect the numbers. Anyone with any ethics knows to look at the whole picture, as Peter points out.
Here's my question: we have plenty of oil so why are we suffering? Because of oil markets blah blah blah. Thats no answer voters will believe or understand. So what can be done to protect American consumers? While the war is on and the admin is on top of it, who is on top of devising a way to eliminate the choke hold pil prices on the American people?...which means a choke hold is forming over Republicans for the midterm. That has me more concerned than anything
