Inflation continued to surge in May, with consumer prices accelerating at the fastest pace in more than 12 years as the economy emerges from the pandemic, the feds said Thursday.The Labor Department’s Consumer Price Index, which measures a basket of goods and services as well as energy and food costs, jumped 5 percent in May from a year earlier.That’s higher than April’s 4.2 percent year-over-year rise in prices, and the biggest 12-month rise since August 2008, just before the financial crisis sent the US into the worst recession it had seen since the Great Depression. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones expected a 4.7 percent spike in May.

Former President Donald Trump released a statement through his Save America PAC claiming that he has turned down two book deals but is “writing like crazy” and will eventually release a tome that will be the “book of all books.”“I turned down two book deals, from the most unlikely of publishers, in that I do not want to do such a deal right now,” Trump said. “I’m writing like crazy anyway, however, and when the time comes, you’ll see the book of all books.” 500 authors and literary professionals wrote a letter urging publishers to not offer book deals to anyone in the Trump Administration.
Earlier on Friday, the Biden Department of Justice warned state lawmakers that if they proceeded to audit fraudulent elections they will be targeted by the Biden administration. The US Constitution specifically gives the power to the states to regulate federal elections as they see fit. You would think the Attorney General of the United States would know this. Following the threats by the Biden regime, former fighter pilot and Arizona state Senator Wendy Rogers warned Merrick Garland to stay in his lane.

This should be prompting Republican-led legislatures to begin doing election audits immediately and passing voter integrity laws.

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) has had just about enough of Dr. Anthony Fauci.The Republican senator has repeatedly clashed with the top U.S. immunologist during hearings on Capitol Hill, but he went a bit further on Wednesday.“I know Dr. Fauci, I like Dr. Fauci, I respect Dr. Fauci,” Kennedy told Fox News’ Sean Hannity. “But Dr. Fauci needs to cut the crap. This isn’t about Dr. Fauci. It’s not about his feelings, and I’m sorry if his feelings were hurt. You know, maybe he ought to buy an emotional support pony.”“But we’re not debating dance moves on TikTok here,” Kennedy said. “We’re talking about millions of human lives.” WATCH:
