All the news for Joe Biden at this moment continues to not be very good. Despite a very good employment report that came out just last week, inflation is threatening to rear its ugly head. And when I say threatening, I mean it's here. The stock futures are already pointing to more losses amid surging inflation, according to the Wall Street Journal. U.S. stock futures fell and bond yields largely rose, suggesting the volatility driven by higher than expected inflation data would extend into a second day. Futures tied to the S&P 500 declined 0.6% on Friday, suggesting the broad index is set to fall further after it closed down

1.8% on Thursday in pre-market trading. Zillow rose 13% because it reported to jump on revenue

for its core unit. However, some major tech stocks edged down pre-market, including Netflix,

which lost 1.3% in a video down 1%.

Stocks have been very choppy this week. The reason that stocks have been choppy, of course,

is because these inflation statistics underscore the challenges the United States economy is about to face,

because either the Federal Reserve is going to have to pretty dramatically raise interest rates,

or this inflation is going to continue.

And if they dramatically raise inflation rates, you're going to get less investment. And if you get

less investment, you're going to get less return on investment. And it's pretty much that simple.

Either you're going to get more inflation or you are probably going to tip over into a reception.

There's also the possibility of both, considering Joe Biden's garbage regulatory

policy. We'll get to that in a moment. There's a reason why Joe Biden is completely collapsing in the polls.

There's a brand new poll from CNN. Nearly six in ten, 58% of Americans say they disapprove.

On the question, what has President Biden done for you? 56% of Americans say nothing.
