It’s days like this that I dread being a writer that covers current events. Each day, you awaken hoping for some good news. But instead, there are gut-punches similar to this.
Joe Biden is responsible for the destruction of another American institution. It’s the iconic $5 hot-n-ready Little Caesars Pizza. You may want to sit down, as it is now $5. Unfortunately, the parents of respectable children who want substandard pizza for their kids will need to seek another route, leaving little league clubs and churches to struggle.
Are we allowed to call ourselves a nation after all this?

According to reports, Little Caesars Pizza is raising the cost of its Hot-N Readyy pizza by $5. This marks the company’s first price increase in 25 years.
The price of the promotional pie, which was first introduced in 1997 through advertising shaker boards, is increasing by 11% to cost $5.55…
…Little Caesars CEO Dave Scrivano said the increased price is meant to balance rising labor and commodities costs, as the price of pepperoni has soared by more than 50% over the pandemic.
Little Caesars hasn’t had to adjust the price of its $5 pizza in a quarter-century. For decades, the nation’s economy was stable enough, and inflation under control enough, that mediocre pizza remained available to everyone. Only under Joe Biden’s leadership did the business environment become so toxic that Little Caesars was forced to raise the price of the Hot-N-Ready by 11 percent.
But I’m assured this is all a coincidence and that the president actually has nothing to do with the current inflation spike that the country is suffering under. From the debt-busting $2T COVID “rescue plan” to the supply chain crisis that has caused raw materials shortages, we are all supposed to believe that Biden is just an innocent bystander. It’s amazing that this one-in-a-million inflationary boom occurred under Biden’s presidency. This was not due to anything he did.
Of course, we all know that’s nonsense, and Little Caesars is hardly the only example. Dollar Tree, which has priced everything at $1 from its beginning, recently announced it would have to increase prices. Biden will take away all Americans’ treasures. It is a terrible sight.
It didn’t have to be this way. The country could have decisively elected a president who isn’t a tree stump. Instead, a supposed majority of Americans looked at the senile husk that is Joe Biden and thought “I’m sure this will work out just fine.” Well, it’s not working out just fine. It’s not working out at all.
