rise on record as soaring inflation threatens
economic recovery
Posted By: Imright, 6/16/2021 1:56:32 AM
Wholesale prices in the U.S. increased at their fastest annual rate ever in May, driven by rising food prices, as soaring inflation threatens to derail the post-pandemic economic recovery.The producer price index, which measures inflation pressure before it reaches consumers, rose 0.8 percent in May for an annual gain of 6.6 percent, the biggest jump since annual data was first compiled in 2010, the Labor Department said Tuesday.The annual gain is somewhat skewed by a 'base effect' from last year's data, when prices plunged early in the pandemic,

Joe Biden has told small businesses struggling to find staff to pay their workers more - using a creepy whisper to get his point across at a press conference on Thursday.The President gave his solution for hiring companies as he took questions about the a $953 billion infrastructure deal reached by bipartisan senators.
'Pay them more', he said while leaning into the microphone and looking out at the crowd.But his generous $300-a-week unemployment benefits are encouraging Americans not to find jobs amid fears that labor shortages will cause greater inflation.
President Biden raised eyebrows Thursday in North Carolina with a bizarre statement in which he claimed that “Latinx” people are less likely to get vaccinated against the coronavirus because “they’re worried that they’ll be vaccinated and deported.”Biden traveled to Raleigh as part of a a nationwide “month of action” campaign meant to boost vaccination rates before the July 4 holiday. However, the president’s exhortation for people to get the shot was overshadowed by his strange aside, in which he also confused the Tuskegee Airmen — the heroic African American pilots of World War II — with the victims of

Tracy Stone-Manning, President Joe Biden’s nominee to be director of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), described American children as an “environmental hazard” while advocating for slowing U.S. population growth in her 1992 graduate thesis.The Daily Caller reported on Stone-Manning’s thesis, titled “Into the Heart of the Beast| A case for environmental advertising,” after which she was awarded a master of science degree in environmental studies. Her thesis, however, amounted to public policy recommendations for the University of Montana described as “environmental education.”Stone-Manning called for an advertising campaign to lessen procreation among Americans,

Nancy Pelosi spoke today about “the root causes” of the January 6 Capitol riot: “the white supremacy, the anti-Semitism, the Islamophobia, all the rest of it that was so evident when you see a sweatshirt on one of the people saying, ‘Camp Auschwitz.’” She repeated the common and yet completely unsubstantiated claim that the Capitol incident constituted an “insurrection,” and once again claimed that Trump “incited” the “insurrection,” in flagrant disregard for the fact that Trump told the demonstrators to remain peaceful. Her list of the three “root causes” of this sham “insurrection” were, in effect, a list of those that she and the Biden Justice Department intend
President Joe Biden has, for a second time, selected a nominee with ties to his son Hunter Biden for a top post at the Justice Department, picking a former longtime partner at the law firm where his son worked for years and that was involved in helping the younger Biden in his business dealings with Burisma.Biden announced on Friday that he had nominated Hampton Dellinger, a Yale Law School graduate and former deputy attorney general in North Carolina, to be assistant attorney general for DOJ’s Office of Legal Policy. Dellinger’s LinkedIn indicates he founded Hampton Dellinger PLLC in November after working as a partner at Boies, Schiller, and Flexner
Former Vice President Mike Pence was proud to certify the presidential election results on Jan. 6 after a deadly riot at the US Capitol, he said in his most direct and pointed departure from former President Donald Trump.Speaking to a crowd at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library on Thursday, Pence said it was his duty under the Constitution to certify the results, and while he made no direct mention of his former boss, he appeared to distance himself from Trump, who still disputes the results of the Electoral College tally.

Cop Killers and Not Standing with the Cops’ 18 replies
Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that the Republican Party was “rolling with the cop killers” instead of standing with the Capitol Police by not backing a bipartisan investigation into the January 6 riot on Capitol Hill.Referencing the select committee House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) announcement earlier, anchor Nicolle Wallace asked, “Joining our conversation, Congressman Eric Swalwell, Democrat from California. He served as an impeachment manager for the second impeachment trial of the ex-president. Congressman, first your reaction to Speaker Pelosi’s announcement today,
Since the Biden Administration assumed power in January, many Americans could be forgiven for feeling like they’re being held hostage, tied up in the trunk of a car, and driven to a place they do not want to go. Nowhere is this more evident than on the immigration problem, where Biden has reversed numerous policies that kept American safe, and it seems he has done so for no other reason than because Donald Trump is the one who put them in place.Because he is beholden to the radical Left for his ascension to the White House, Biden predictably has adopted the usual anti-borders agenda including catch-and-release, demoralizing ICE, and

As we reported earlier, things got super weird during a press conference President Joe Biden held earlier today where he announced a bipartisan deal on a bloated infrastructure bill, made possible with the help of the below 11 Republican Senators (in case you were wondering if your Republican Senator was one of them):Richard Burr and Thom Tillis (NC), Bill Cassidy (LA), Susan Collins (ME) Lindsey Graham (SC), Jerry Moran (KS), Lisa Murkowski (AK), Rob Portman (OH), Mitt Romney (UT), Mike Rounds (SC), and Todd Young (IN).In one of the more bizarre moments, Biden actually
On Wednesday, Laura Ingraham, host of “The Ingraham Angle,” blasted General Mark Milley for propagating a “far-left Marxist racist ideology” in the U.S. military over his support of Critical Race Theory.Milley testified before the House Armed Services Committee and was questioned concerning diversity training and racism within the ranks of the military. He stated that he found recent attacks on the military over those issues “offensive.” Milley voiced his support for Critical Race Theory and he blamed the Jan. 6 riot on “white rage.” “I do think it’s important for those of us in uniform to be open-minded and be widely read,” stated Milley seemingly insinuating that troops were closed-minded
President Joe Biden blamed employers not paying staff enough in wages when speaking about concerns of worker shortages during his infrastructure press conference on Thursday. Biden whispered his solution for companies struggling to find workers while taking questions from the press about the $953 billion deal carved out between a bipartisan group of Republicans and Democrats. 'Pay them more', he said while leaning into the microphone and looking out at the crowd.

President Joe Biden offered glowing praise for Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) after he announced an infrastructure deal with him and nine other moderate Republican senators.“In my years in the senate, the single greatest currency you have is your word. Keeping your word,” Biden said. “Mitt Romney has never broken his word to me.”
The Republican senators working with Biden include Romney and Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), and Rob Portman (R-OH).“You know, the senator from Alaska … the senator from Maine, they’ve never broken their word with me,” Biden said. “They’re friends.”

“This isn’t the first time Biden’s warned the gov’t would use every weapon in its arsenal against Americans,” quipped Tom Elliott, remembering how Biden said something like this at a rally early last year.
Maybe the Second Amendment should be extended to include F-15s.
Seriously, though, this dumb gun-control talking point is deathless even though it’s never been clearer how untrue it is. Watch, then read on. There are many lessons to be learned from America’s adventure in Afghanistan but an easy one is that a crudely equipped force using guerrilla tactics is fully capable of prevailing over one with superior firepower. That lesson should have been clear already from Vietnam
Chelsea Clinton is a board director at a health insurance company that has been accused of defrauding investors.Clover Health has been slapped with numerous investor lawsuits that claim the company and its leadership failed to disclose that it was under investigation by the Department of Justice for allegedly offering illegal kickbacks to health care providers in exchange for patient referrals.Several of the lawsuits were consolidated in April into a class action case, which accused Clover Health and its CEO Vivek Garipalli of "employ[ing] devices, schemes, and artifices to defraud" investors.Clinton’s involvement with Clover Health, where she has served on the board since 2017 and

Earlier today, as RedState reported, Joe Biden launched into another dementia-laden rant where he talked about nuking Americans and shooting deer in kevlar vests. No, I’m not being facetious. That actually happened (see Biden Accidently Makes Best Ever for Second Amendment in Speech Promoting Gun Control Initiatives).
In one of the best arguments for the Second Amendment ever spoken by a president, Biden asserted that no one can stand up to the government without F-15s and nuclear weapons. He seems to have a thing for the F-15, having mentioned it several times in this context and perhaps not realizing that the U.S. Military has an array of other fighter-bombers to murder

Rudy Giuliani’s law license was suspended by the New York Supreme Court on Thursday for making false statements related to voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election, according to court papers.The court ruled there is “uncontroverted evidence” that Giuliani made false statements while he was acting as legal counsel for former President Donald Trump.“These false statements were made to improperly bolster respondent’s narrative that due to widespread voter fraud, victory in the 2020 United States presidential election was stolen from his client,” the ruling stated.

A Massachusetts town has created a fund to pay reparations to black residents as communities and institutions across the country look to atone for slavery, discrimination and past wrongs amid the nation's ongoing racial reckoning. The Amherst Town Council on Monday voted 12-1 in favor of establishing the fund and requiring a two-thirds vote of the council to authorize any spending from it, The Daily Hampshire Gazette reported.
The town, which is located some 90 miles from Boston and has a population of just under 38,000, has yet to decide how a person would become eligible for the reparation fund,
A liberal arts college in Massachusetts has warned its students and faculty against using 'violent language'—even banning the phrase 'trigger warning' for its association with guns. Brandeis University in Waltham has created an anti-violence resource called the Prevention, Advocacy & Resource Center which provides information and advice to students and staff.(Snip) The college claims that 'picnic is often associated with lynchings of black people in the United States, during which white spectators were said to have watched while eating, referring to them as picnics or other terms involving racial slurs against black people.'
Picnic is derived from the French 'pique-nique,'
The Salvation Army — best known for its red kettle donation stands at Christmas—has released a racial reconciliation curriculum urging its members to apologize for past racial sins. In “Let’s Talk About Racism,” the evangelical organization declares: “[A]s we engage in conversations about race and racism, we must keep in mind that sincere repentance and apologies are necessary if we want to move towards racial reconciliation … Perhaps you don’t feel as if you personally have done anything wrong, but you can spend time repenting on behalf of the Church and asking for God to open hearts and minds to the issue of racism.”
Major League Baseball (MLB) chose the wokes over their fans when they relocated the All-Star Game from Atlanta to Denver. And, it appears, the fans are letting their feelings be known. The television ratings for Sunday Night Baseball, MLB’s flagship primetime offering and ESPN’s premier weekend evening broadcast, have sunk 49 percent from last year. According to Sports Media Watch: A 7-inning Cardinals-Braves Sunday Night Baseball game averaged just 931,000 viewers on ESPN over the weekend, down 49% from the comparable window in 2019 (Cubs-Dodgers: 1.84M) and the least-watched Sunday night game this season.

With murder rates skyrocketing in major American cities, Joe Biden announced his “gun crime prevention strategy.” Because Democrats are opposed to punishments for crime, Biden was reduced to maligning the Second Amendment. Thankfully, he lacks the authority to grab our guns, but he managed a few chilling statements. (snip) His problem is that the cities with the worst violent crime already have gun-grabbing laws.
Biden fell back on the old Chicago standby, saying that the illegal guns used to commit crimes in Democrat cities are smuggled in from states with lax gun laws (snip) What Biden failed to explain is why those gun-supplying states don’t also have out-of-control gun crime.
The Florida apartment building that partially collapsed on Thursday had been reportedly sinking for decades — and was undergoing a structural inspection, according to officials and a research study.
The 12-story beachfront condo in Miami-Dade County was built in 1981 — and had been sinking into the ground since the 1990s, according to a 2020 study conducted by Shimon Wdowinski, a professor at Florida International University.
“I looked at it this morning and said, ‘Oh my god.’ We did detect that,” Wdowinski told USA Today on Thursday.
Wdowinski’s research focused on which parts of Miami were sinking,
