From houses to cars and bikes, everything
is getting more expensive as supply-chain
issues cripple the economic reopening

You might have noticed that you've been shelling out more for things like houses, gas, and cars. And it's been hard to get your hands on things like fitness gear, sofas, and roller skates. That's because America is reopening to a more expensive economy than the one that existed pre-pandemic. For now, it has a lot to do with a shortage of materials that manufacturers need to make these things. When supply is low, prices climb for manufacturers, and consumers end up paying more for the end product. The materials shortage has to do with several factors. The work-from-home economy

President Biden, along with leading Democrats on Capitol Hill, started the year with the choice between two paths to govern. The first route, which I have strongly urged my party to take, is characterized with bipartisanship. Democrats carry this incredible opportunity to consolidate their power by reaching out to moderate Republicans to achieve legislative compromises at a time when Republicans are deeply fractured. This route would lead to further friction, however, with the growing progressive wing. It is clear that Biden and Democrats have chosen the second route, which involves embracing liberal policies and using their power to push through
On Monday, Evanston, Ill., is set to become the first American city to provide reparations to some of its Black residents, marking a historic step toward restitution to African Americans who have been historically disenfranchised and discriminated against in the U.S. following over two centuries of slavery. While the idea of reparations for African Americans has long been met with some skepticism about its need and overall execution, leaders on the local city council say that this is the first step toward a “full repair” of racial injustices. “This is a first step in Evanston — one that I’m really

RIVERSIDE, Calif. - When Tracie and Myles Albert purchased a beautiful four bedroom house in Riverside, California they never realized that at the end of escrow the seller would suddenly refuse to give up the keys and leave. "It’s just draining, emotionally and financially," says Tracie. On January 31, 2020, the couple purchased the home. More than a year later, they still haven’t been able get inside their property. Chris Taylor is the Real Estate Agent who sold the house to the Alberts from a man who wanted to sell immediately. "He needed $560,000 from the sale of his house
The NCAA is promising to bring better resources to the Women's Division I Basketball Tournament after videos and images of the women's facilities sparked outrage among fans and athletes online. Ahead of March Madness, student-athletes and coaches shared comparisons between the men's training facilities and a single rack of dumbbells and one stationary bike for the women. The NCAA initially blamed the lack of space and vowed to improve the conditions. Lynn Holzman, the NCAA's women's basketball VP, said the plan was to provide more space and equipment to teams that further advanced in the tournament. "We want to be

The Weather Channel on Friday announced it will no longer use the term "Dixie Alley" on its television network. The term describes the region of the southern U.S. that's prone to deadly tornado outbreaks. ''Effective immediately, we will discontinue use of the racially-insensitive term ‘Dixie Alley’ – and I call on others in the industry to do the same,” Byron Allen – CEO of Allen Media Group, parent company of The Weather Channel television network – said in a statement. “We must all work harder to become ONE America,” he added. "Dixie” is a nickname given to the 11 southern

Migrant children and families are dangerously packed into holding facilities on the southwest border, lawmakers and child-welfare monitors warned Friday, as Customs and Border Protection weighed taking the emergency step of putting migrant families on airplanes to states near the Canadian border for processing. (Snip) Conditions were even worse hundreds of miles to the southeast in the Rio Grande Valley, a court-appointed monitor told a federal judge Friday, saying the crowding in Border Patrol facilities was “profound,” “not sustainable” and at risk of unraveling. The Biden administration is rushing to manage a rapidly growing influx at the border even as
HONG KONG -- By no means is former President Donald Trump famous for his Zen-like qualities, but that’s exactly how he has been dreamed up by one artist in the southern Chinese city of Xiamen. The 45th president of the United States, casted in ceramic, is as the world has never seen him before -- draped in robes, cross-legged, with his eyes gently closed as if in a deep meditative state. (Snip) Hong, who normally designs furniture, was inspired by one of Trump’s nicknames in China: ‘King of Knowing Everything’. “There are a lot of videos where Trump gives the
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The Jesuit priest who presided over an inaugural Mass for President Joe Biden is under investigation for unspecified allegations and is on leave from his position as president of Santa Clara University in Northern California, according to a statement from the college's board of trustees. Rev. Kevin O'Brien allegedly “exhibited behaviors in adult settings, consisting primarily of conversations, which may be inconsistent with established Jesuit protocols and boundaries,” according to the statement by John M. Sobrato, the board chairman. O'Brien gave the service at Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle, one of the most prominent Catholic
MINNEAPOLIS — A prospective juror who once lived in the neighborhood where George Floyd was arrested told the attorney for an ex-officer charged in Floyd's death that he had a personal reason for wanting to serve on the jury. “Because me, as a Black man, you see a lot of Black people get killed and no one’s held accountable for it, and you wonder why or what was the decisions,” Juror No. 76 said under questioning during jury selection in Derek Chauvin's murder trial. “So, with this, maybe I’ll be in the room to know why.” But the man won’t
WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. -- A New Jersey school district is paying $325,000 to a former New Jersey teacher who claimed she was forced to digitally edit a Donald Trump T-shirt worn by a student in a yearbook photo. The Wall Township school board approved the settlement agreement with Susan Parsons on Tuesday, NJ Advance Media reported. The district made no admission of wrongdoing or liability. The money will be paid by the district's insurance carrier. Parsons was the high school's yearbook adviser when she said a secretary acting on behalf of the principal ordered her in 2017 to remove "Trump Make
On Wednesday morning Judge Peter Cahill dismissed two seated jurors in the Derek Chauvin trial due to their inability to be impartial after learning about a historic civil settlement between the city of Minneapolis and George Floyd's family. Friday March 12, the Minneapolis City Council approved and announced the largest police settlement in Minneapolis history, paying $27 million to the family of George Floyd. (Snip) Judge Peter Cahill started the morning in court with a stern warning to reporters he said have been attempting to read post-it notes on the attorneys' tables, and reporting the exact security arrangements in the

Videos of Joe Biden appearing dazed and confused aren’t exactly rare these days, but this latest example is fairly stark. He’s clearly not mentally well and has a hard time performing the basic duties of the office (including have much of any real interaction with the press).Here’s the video in which Biden looks like he forgets where he’s at and/or what he’s supposed to be doing.(Tweet/Video) At the beginning, he seems to be greeting people in his typical robotic fashion but then tries to just wander off.

A women’s magazine that tends to approach issues from a more conservative, common-sense stance accidentally embraced some liberal thinking this week. Whoops!In an almost-ratioed tweet posted Saturday, Evie Magazine called for normalizing the slapping of men “when they’ve crossed the line,” whatever that means.Look at the tweet below: (Tweet) What in the name of liberal feminists was THAT!?The tweet provoked a spate of angry replies from incensed men. Look: (Tweets) The problem, besides Evie Magazine’s promotion of violence, is that there is no shared definition of what it means to cross the line.When now-deceased former President George H.W. Bush, then 90 years old and wheelchair-bound,
One year ago today, an article of mine at American Thinker became a flashpoint of mainstream media coverage and criticism. Before one week had passed, my article was referenced, including with links to it and me in four major articles at the Washington Post, two in the New York Times... Politico, Vanity Fair, Buzzfeed, New York Magazine, and others. (snip) The reason for all this fuss was that I was the first one in the national media to challenge the media-driven image of Dr. Anthony Fauci as a sage and a savior, a man whose commands to shut down the nation must be obeyed
Biden felt three times as he scaled the stairs to Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews.
Biden tried jogging up the stairs to board Air Force One en route to Atlanta and fell hard on his knee.
When he arrived in Atlanta, he visited the Atlanta headquarters of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to thank public health workers amid the coronavirus pandemic and claimed that “science is back”, though he did not state where or how the science went missing.
Biden wrapped up his pep talk to the agency with a lengthy anecdote about meeting with then-VP Xi Jinping.
A McKinney man accused of storming the U.S. Capitol was given away by his mobile phone, which placed him at the scene, giving agents clues they needed to identify and arrest him, federal court records show.
Kevin Sam Blakely, 55, was captured in video footage standing inside and outside of the Capitol building during the Jan. 6 uprising and riot, according to an FBI complaint.
Google location data has helped the FBI make numerous arrests of other alleged rioters across the country.
If President Biden makes good on a recent White House promise that he'll field questions from a roomful of reporters for the first time this coming Thursday, he will be doing so on his 65th day since taking office.
Saturday marked the 60th consecutive day the nation’s 46th president did not do a news conference with the White House press corps.
That stretch has been marked by several near-misses of interactions with the media:
On March 3, for example, Biden appeared ready to handle some questions from reporters during a virtual news conference with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, but the video feed of the event suddenly cut off.
A 68-year-old man punched in the face by a stranger on a Tribeca subway train, leaving him in critical condition, was the latest victim of anti-Asian hate, a good Samaritan who helped the victim told the Daily News.
The victim was minding his business riding an uptown No. 1 train when the unhinged assailant, sporting a fedora, black leather jacket, pink hoodie and an elaborate gold necklace, boarded the train about 2:40 p.m. Friday, sources said.(Snip) Without warning, the 6-foot-2 attacker walloped the victim in the face leaving him covered in blood that dripped down his jacket.

Judge Laurence Silberman accused the New York Times and Washington Post of being “Democratic Party broadsheets” in a dissenting opinion on Friday.

Soldiers "from every echelon" of the US military have been openly questioning why last year's violent BLM and Antifa riots weren't treated like the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a comparison which has flown sideways up the ass of the military's top enlisted leader, Chief Master Sergeant Ramón "CZ" Colón-López.
In a Thursday briefing at the Pentagon, Colón-López (CZ) told reporters that some troops have asked "How come you're not looking at the situation that was going on in Seattle prior to that? [Jan. 6 riot]"
"This is coming from every echelon that we're talking to," CZ added.
