Like what Freddie King sang (Going down), we are going down the drain. Export prices by end us YoY is up to 18.8%, the highest in recorded history (or since 1983 when they started recording export prices). Import prices by end use rose to 12.5% YoY. Unrelated to US export and import prices, the MBA’s mortgage credit availability index slumped with the Covid outbreak and the explosion of The Fed’s Balance Sheet. As I have said before, nothing has been the same since Covid. Like Freddie King, “I’m Feeling Torn Down” by rising prices.

The deal would have required him to plead guilty to one of the charges. snip The charge to which Barnett would have had to plead guilty comes with a sentencing guideline of 70 to 87 months in prison.

ORLANDO, Florida – It's being called Disney's "gayest kids movie yet," and it comes at a time when Americans are dumping the entertainment giant because of its support for LGBT causes and opposition to Florida's anti-grooming law giving parents a voice in the education of their children. "Better Nate Than Ever" is a musical comedy released this month by Disney+, and is aimed at the minds of pre-teenagers. It stars Rueby Wood as 13-year-old Nate, a boy who heads to New York City for a chance to win a role in a Broadway play after losing an audition for his...

According to Musk, the social media company needs...

Herschel Walker, the football star turned Georgia Senate candidate, is an animated caricature of a Black person drawn by white conservatives. Walker is what they think of us, and they think we’re big, ignorant, and easily manipulated. They think we’re shady or criminal. They think we’re tools to be used. The Walker campaign exists as a political minstrel show: a splashy rendition of what white Republicans think Black people look and sound like.

Russia has warned NATO that if Sweden and Finland joined the military alliance then the Kremlin would have to bolster its nuclear defences in the Baltic. 'There can be no more talk of any nuclear-free status for the Baltic - the balance must be restored,' said Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council. 'Naturally, we will have to reinforce these borders. Until today, Russia has not taken such measures and was not going to. If our hand is forced well... take note it wasn't us who proposed this.'

The Bible In Paintings 2 ENCOURAGEMENT FOR APPRECIATING AND APPLYING GOD'S MESSAGE J U D G E SCHAPTER 6 The LORD said, “Take the second bull from your father’s herd. Tear down your father’s altar to Baal and cut down the Asherah pole beside it. Then build a proper kind of altar to the LORD your God on the top of this height.

GroomergateSay the word. Scare the establishment. When I was a child, there was a girl I knew whose father was well-known amongst us girls to show his penis at sleepovers. In retrospect, even aside from our loud murmuring, signs of abuse were everywhere. But the man was fairly prominent in evangelical circles, and a talented musician. Other adults cheered him on in public. Other adults permitted and promoted the idea that his house was a good place for sleepovers. Maybe these other adults were completely ignorant, maybe they were in denial, maybe they didn’t care, maybe they thought it was...

This week on Uncommon Knowledge, playwright David Mamet discusses his book The Secret Knowledge: On the Dismantling of American Culture and his conversion to conservatism. Mamet explains how, by studying Jewish and Christian texts such as the Talmud and the Bible, he came to approach arguments from a new perspective that aligned itself with conservative politics.

The White House defended President Joe Biden’s decision to describe Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine as “genocide,” as he used his trip to Iowa for another unscripted moment in reaction to events engulfing Eastern Europe.

But it did not acknowledge any attack, which, in addition to any practical impact, would also deal a major blow to...
