JUICE—By now, all of you have noticed how much more it’s costing to fill up your car’s gas tank, and how much more you are paying for bacon at your local Publix as a result of Biden's inflation.

But it’s not just bacon. Even those very yummy Publix cupcakes are costing more. Since President Biden took office, the usual $3.99 6-pack of cupcakes has skyrocketed to $5.11.

This is where we must draw the line.

Who is at fault?

Rep. Omari Hardy-Whenever a gov't violates the rights of a people, we have reason to speak up and speak out and to use nonviolent tactics to encourage that gov't to change its behavior. My position on these issues is not about Israel. It’s about my broader principles as they apply to this case.
