Get ready for a food fight: High grocery
costs are here to stay

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 9/13/2022 3:03:29 PM

Gas prices are down, providing a boon for Democrats in November. But food prices remain sky-high, giving Republicans an opening to keep inflation a top-of-mind issue in the midterms. The price of food at the grocery store is expected to increase by up to 11 percent this year with the cost of beef, poultry, milk, eggs and fruit driving the surge. Prices could shoot even higher with droughts affecting crops and a potential rail workers strike halting shipments needed for both food and crop production. The government’s latest Consumer Price Index report released Tuesday shows overall food prices continued to rise, by 0.8 percent in August. That’s slightly down

You’re an idiot, Garrett. There my be some democrat/independent/moderate voters that think gas prices being slightly lower in certain areas means that the democrat party is doing a good job, but the vast majority of the public know exactly who has put us into this mess in every faction of our lives. But hey, Halloween is coining up. Might as well whistle past the graveyard.

With energy costs super high, and with fertilizer made, at least in part, from natural gas, and diesel used for plowing, harvesting and transporting food.....there is guaranteed to be high prices unless the Climate Scammers stop throttling our energy production.

Politico mocking Oz for hsving mentioned the “high cost of crudités”. Anyone who doesn’t know that that means cut up raw vegetables served as a healthy snack or appetizer should own a dictionary. Do we really need to reduce our language to Dick and Jane and Spot…?

I joked with the dentist after my recent cleaning. He said one way to prevent cavities is don't eat food. I mentioned the cost I incurred to get to his office. It was gallows humor.

I’ve seen 20% to 40% on many processed food items. A $1 item that was $1.20 now it’s $1.40, all in the last 6 months. Potatoes are up almost 50%. Some items have reduced weight or count trying to fool people the unwary customer, a bag of 50 is now 45 etc. Same with electricity, the base rate hasn’t changed, but purchased power is 20% higher. The administration has no clue. It thinks the only thing consumers worry about is gas prices. That’s just one item on the budget.

Inflation are two sides of the same coin. Like a balloon, inflation will expand the economy, until it crashes, and deflates.

We haven’t seen anything yet. The grocery store cooked chicken has gone from $5.99 to $7.99. I was never great at math but even I know that’s more than 8.3%. Gasoline is a buck more a gallon than it was three years ago. That’s a hell of a lot more than 8.3%. I am an old man and I remember prices soaring under Jimmy Carter’s one unfortunate term. Wait! What party did he also belong to? I forget. We are governed by the most inept bunch of fools and rabid socialists this country has ever seen. They will also ruthlessly rig elections now because they know honest elections will put them out of power for years to come. True the vote is our only salvation and the Dems realize that without election fraud they are toast. The midterms will be rife with blatant fraud by Democrats. Do everything thing you can to support honest elections...everything.

Re #13, I am bitching about paying more than $2.50 a gallon less than you. It's still too high at $3.19. We were paying about $1.89 a few years back. The official "inflation market basket" has been steadily adjusted for years to remove rapidly inflating things and therefore to understate the actual inflation rate. You can be assured that the government's "official" inflation numbers are lies. Carefully and artfully crafted lies.

The news of the death of Queen Elizabeth II and the round-the-clock coverage of her upcoming funeral has almost made us forget that the UK also has a new prime minister. Liz Truss won the heated contest to replace Boris Johnson as the leader of the Conservative (Tory) Party and thus moved into 10 Downing Street as prime minister. On Truss’ third day in office, her monarch died, which put politics on the back burner, but she kicked off the Liz Truss era in a head-turning way. She began leading the Tories and governing her nation as an actual conservative. Tom Harris, a former Labour member of Parliament, writes at the Telegraph

Illegal migrants Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis flew to Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, were informed of their destination prior to boarding flights to the island, according to documents exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Yes, they were asked multiple times if they wanted to go,” said a source with close contact to the ground operation that moved the around 50 illegal migrants. The packets included a map with Martha’s Vineyard marked with a red star with the label “YOU ARE HERE,” written in both English and Spanish. The packets also had documents with local resources, including the contact information for community services and churches in the area, potential employment opportunities

The Martha’s Vineyard’s meltdown illustrates the efficacy of a few of Saul Alinsky’s Rules For Radicals. Governors Abbott and DeSantis have put several of Alinsky’s rules in play Among them: • Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules. • Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. • A good tactic is one your people enjoy. • Keep the pressure on. • The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative. • Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. These rules were formulated for the use of the left. When employed to mount opposition to the left, the axis of American life and politics tilts. The end of the world is nigh.

Maher also jabbed President Joe Biden for accusing Republicans of using people as props by stating that when Biden said that, “all the Marines lined up behind him agreed.” Maher said, “And then you saw the governors of Texas and Florida are sending their migrants to blue states.

It’s no surprise that Ron DeSantis has become the Democrats’ bête noire. He is just so much better than they are on both policy and politics, and that makes him dangerous to their ability to continue destroying America. So we have now reached the “Ron DeSantis is a Nazi” phase of demonization. It’s actually kind of glorious to see, because this tactic only works to gin up their communist base while simultaneous waking people up to a genuine crisis at the border. Few normal people believe DeSantis is really evil, which is why Florida has become a magnet for disaffected Americans who want to move

Washington - The Department of Justice is asking a federal appeals court to temporarily block a Trump-appointed judge’s ruling that prevents it from accessing hundreds of pages of classified records seized amid the thousands of pages of government documents taken from the former president’s Mar-a-Lago home. “The district court has entered an unprecedented order enjoining the Executive Branch’s use of its own highly classified records in a criminal investigation with direct implications for national security,” the Justice Department wrote in its motion Friday. The Justice Department had previously argued that any delay in its investigation into Donald Trump's handling and retention of government records, including classified records,

A Texas law that bans social media companies from censoring users’ viewpoints is constitutionally allowed, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Friday, in a blow to Facebook, Twitter and Google. The ruling is a win for Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in their efforts to combat what they call censorship of conservative viewpoints by social media companies. The law, H.B. 20, had previously been blocked from taking effect by a May 5-4 Supreme Court ruling, which had granted an emergency request by tech trade groups NetChoice and the Computer and Communications Industry Association, which represent Facebook, Twitter and Google. The trade groups have alleged

The national guardsmen will meet the immigrants at Joint Base Cape Cod on the mainland.

As RedState reported, Judge Aileen Cannon delivered a body blow to the Department of Justice, denying their request for a stay and appointing a special master in the case surrounding the FBI’s raid on Donald Trump. The DOJ had sought to exclude documents they deemed classified and to bring in a ringer who served as special master in the Michael Cohen and Project Veritas cases. Instead, all the documents will be reviewed by U.S. District Judge Raymond Dearie. That name caused some consternation because he is the same judge that signed off on the Carter Page warrant.

Want to Buy a House? Mortgage Rates Jump

Mortgage rates when President Joe Biden took office? 2.65 percent. Today? 6.28 percent. On Tuesday, Biden held a weird celebration of his “Inflation Reduction Act” on the lawn of the White House. Why was it weird? Because at the very same time as Democrats were applauding themselves, the U.S. Labor Department was releasing figures that showed an “unexpected” rise in inflation, with the cost of rent, food, and other basic necessities continuing to skyrocket. Now we learn that mortgage rates have climbed above six percent for the first time since 2008. Wonder what kind of party Biden has planned for this milestone?

The strategy of Greg Abbott and others to send illegal aliens to sanctuary cities around the country was a stroke of genius. Not that it was original: for at least the last five or six years, a friend has been emailing me to the effect that illegals should be sent to Marin County, Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco mansion, and, above all, Martha’s Vineyard. That, he said, would bring the open border problem to a screeching halt. And it may. Ron DeSantis’s master stroke of sending two planeloads of aliens to Martha’s Vineyard has made liberal heads explode. The irony is evident to everyone. These places are “sanctuaries” for illegal aliens,

Denver is set to provide 140 homeless people with $12,000 in cash with no strings attached to help get them out of destitution, and a last ditch effort to combat soaring crime rates in the Mile-High City. The city has allocated $2million from the American Rescue Plan Act to fund the program, which will be run by the Denver Basic Income Project. The total program, which will cost around $9million, is seeking to help around 820 people, but the $2million provided by the city will fund around 140 people. The rest of the money will be raised through charitable foundations, including the Colorado Health Foundation and the Denver Foundation,

CEO Bob Chapek has overseen Disney’s expanding immoral wokeness while hiking prices into the stratosphere and allowing the resort to devolve into disrepair under his watch. Social media is being flooded with complaints by visitors who are relentlessly bashing the Happiest Place on Earth while carping that Chapek is obsessed with cutting costs and raising prices instead of reinvesting in the resort, according to the New York Post.

The percentage of Americans who are refusing to get a vaccine for the Chinese coronavirus is remaining consistent, as nearly three in ten have yet to receive a single jab for the virus, a poll from The Economist/YouGov found. The survey found that 28 percent have not received any coronavirus jab from any manufacturer, compared to 72 percent who said they have. What is more, 58 percent indicated that they are at least triple vaccinated. However, it appears that those who are unvaccinated will remain so, as 66 percent said they do to plan on getting any shots, followed by 16 percent who said they “might” and nine percent

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has challenged Ron DeSantis to a debate over his decision to send 50 migrants to Martha's Vineyard - just as the Florida governor doubles down on sending more migrants to Democratic 'sanctuary cities.' Earlier this week, DeSantis mimicked his Texas and Arizona counterparts in sending over groups of migrants to Democrat-led cities up north in protest of the Biden Administration's border policies. Newsom and other Democratic leaders have slammed the move as playing with people's lives, with the California governor going so far as to call for kidnapping charges against DeSantis.

Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) flew 50 illegal immigrants to the deep-blue elitist Massachusetts island of Martha’s Vineyard, grab some popcorn and sit back in your comfiest chair because it’s about to get absolutely wild.

Clearly, DeSantis isn’t even the slightest bit fazed, as he recently doubled down on his new tactic during a press conference Friday, according to a CNN report. During the Friday presser,

Pennsylvania Lt. Gov.

After Fetterman suffered a stroke just days before his May primary, reporters were later told he had a pacemaker and a defibrillator fitted to address atrial fibrillation — a serious heart condition that was diagnosed years earlier but not revealed before he ran for lieutenant governor or senate. In a June statement, his doctor said he also had a serious heart condition called cardiomyopathy.

“The documents were declassified!” “Trump had every right keep them!” “They posed no risk to national security!” Conservatives have been defending Trump with these kinds of arguments ever since the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago last month. They’re missing the point, though. Seeking to prove that Trump did nothing wrong in possessing these documents is like trying to establish that the victims of Stalin’s show trials weren’t in fact Trotskyites. Well, of course they weren’t. But Stalin didn’t care if his enemies – perceived or real – were Trotskyites or “counter-revolutionaries.” What mattered to him was that they were his enemies.
