The clear winners in inflation are those who require little from global supply chains, the frugal, and those who own their own labor, skills and enterprises. As the case for systemic inflation builds, the question arises: who wins and who loses in an up-cycle of inflation? The general view is that inflation is bad for almost everyone, but this ignores the big winners in an inflationary cycle. As I’ve explained here and in my new book Global Crisis, National Renewal, the two primary dynamics globally are 1) scarcity of essentials and 2) extremes of wealth/power inequality. Scarcities drive prices higher...

Seeking to improve what has been among the nation’s grimmest public policy challenges, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg released a plan Thursday with the goal of reducing, and eventually eliminating, tens of thousands of annual road deaths.The Transportation Department strategy calls for following a “safe system” approach that emphasizes the inevitability of human mistakes and the need for planning to minimize their impacts on everyone who uses roads. The efforts come amid new safety spending in the infrastructure law President Biden signed in November.Citing progress cutting food-poisoning deaths and workplace fatalities that would be “borderline unthinkable” today, Buttigieg said in an...

Mina Kimes took to Twitter on Thursday to respond to yet another online tirade against her – this time from former NFL quarterback Jeff Garcia. The drama began Tuesday, with Kimes effectively saying that 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is along for the ride in the team’s NFC title berth. “Jimmy Garoppolo isn’t the reason they’re winning,” Kimes said during her appearance on ESPN’s “First Take” Tuesday. “They’re winning with him, but not because of him … He posted the second-lowest QBR in 15 years [against the Packers].” “Since joining the Niners, he has two touchdowns and five interceptions in the...

On Wednesday, several high-ranking officials from Russia and Ukraine met in Paris, France to discuss the tense situation that has developed over the former Russian territory, holding what Moscow described as a “tough” negotiation. After a nerve-wracking eight-hour back and forth, the two sides agreed to put aside their differences and uphold a previously agreed upon ceasefire in Ukraine’s eastern Donbas region. German and French officials were also present as arbiters for the seemingly highly-productive meeting. The quartet of countries had come together in 2014 and 2015 during the Donbas war to hammer out the original peace treaty, so they...

The White House National Security Council was forced to issue a hasty denial late Thursday of a report that President Biden warned Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that a Russian invasion of his country was almost certain and that he should be ready for a “sack” of the capital city Kiev. The jarring military forecast wasn’t mentioned in official statements from the White House or Zelensky, but was relayed to CNN by an unnamed Ukrainian official. “A Russian invasion is now virtually certain once the ground freezes, Biden said to Zelensky, a senior Ukrainian official told [CNN reporter Matthew Chance],” tweeted...

Porn star Stormy Daniels detailed how her former attorney, Michael Avenatti, allegedly stole hundreds of thousands in book advance money from her – and lied to her about the missing funds almost every day for five months at his trial Thursday. Daniels, wearing a black dress, a red sweater and black high heels, took the stand at Avenatti’s criminal trial in Manhattan federal court – and walked jurors through a series of text messages and documents that showed her communication with her former attorney as she navigated a six-figure book deal in 2018.

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.), who famously refused to give the last Democratic Supreme Court nominee a Senate hearing or vote, on Thursday said he’s ready to give President Biden’s pick to the high court “a fair look.” While some conservatives are already taking shots at Biden for pledging to consider only a Black woman to replace retiring liberal Justice Stephen Breyer, McConnell is keeping his powder dry until the nominee is known.

The governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, took a shot at White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki after she criticized his state on the podium for the pace with which school covid aid was being distributed and went after him over a covid treatment issue. ‘The White House press secretary stands in front of that podium and lies through her teeth every single day, and usually about the state of Florida,’ DeSantis lashed out during Wednesday’s press conference. --- In the history of Florida, DeSantis is probably the most powerful governor ever. During Florida’s new legislative session, he pushed for even...

President Biden will join a star-studded group of entertainers to honor Betty White as part of a prime-time TV special. The commander in chief will appear on NBC’s “Celebrating Betty White: America’s Golden Girl,” on Monday at 10 p.m., the network announced Thursday.

Was the Apostle Paul a prophet? Did he foretell anything of the future having to do with God’s plans for the age? What could he have meant when he reported, after being left for dead from a stoning at Lystra, “How he was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter” (2 Corinthians 12:4)? No doubt but that he learned prophecy there, firsthand! Therefore, when Paul writes of events to come in the future, such as in 2 Thessalonians 2 of a “falling away of lawfulness,” we can count on...

The NFL has long been under fire for its lack of diversity at the head coaching position. And from the looks of this year’s head coaching cycle so far, that won’t be changing anytime soon. On Thursday, multiple reports indicated that Green Bay OC Nathaniel Hackett, who is white, is set to become the next head coach of the Denver Broncos. During today’s episode of First Take, ESPN figurehead Stephen A. Smith said this hire was “sickening” and “insulting” to see as a Black man. The Broncos moved past Eric Bieniemy as a head coaching option earlier this week. Smith...

My wife and I were having a casual conversation that resulted from a reader’s question regarding how many Christians may actually go in the rapture. This led to a thought in my mind concerning what we are witnessing in real-time when it comes to, what seems obvious to be, a purging of Christians in the social order of the world. Though the beginning of this article is focused primarily on the United States, this same battle seems to be waging in many parts of the world. Below, are some items of interest that we have been witnessing and what may...

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said on Thursday that President Biden must not allow the radical left to control the pending Supreme Court nomination. After Biden announced Justice Stephen Breyer would leave the Court and a replacement would be nominated before the end of February, McConnell released a statement warning Biden to not “outsource” the nomination to the radical left.

The city of San Francisco is softening its mask rules ahead of the state of California. Beginning Feb. 1, office workers, gym members and so-called “stable cohorts” of vaccinated and boosted (if eligible) individuals may remove their face coverings indoors again, officials said in a statement released Thursday.

--SNIP-- The Police Department, for example, noted that the District Attorney’s Office has increasingly failed to win convictions for illegal gun possession, a crime police say must be addressed to curb gunfire in the city. But prosecutors said there was “little research supporting the approach.” And they noted that one category of gun possession — carrying without a license — was a felony in Philadelphia but a misdemeanor in the rest of the state. They called that legislative decision “inequitable and obviously racist,” and said they believe the Police Department’s focus on arresting people for that crime “is having no...
