Americans are paying a hell of a lot for Joe Biden's spend-a-thon, in the form of inflation, which, at last glance, was costing American workers upwards of $5,000 in extra cash a year.Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon, as Milton Friedman used to say, and sure enough, inflation started getting bad when a Democrat Congress passed and Joe Biden signed off on, the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which was passed to supposedly help America recover from COVID.Fox News's Tyler Olson did the job mainstream corporate journalists wouldn't do by checking up on how that...

One of the proposals that emerged from the Synod for the Amazon was the creation of an Amazonian Rite, a reality present in the history of the Catholic Church. In fact, there are currently 24 Catholic rites in existence. For the creation of this Catholic rite, under the umbrella of the Ecclesial Conference of the Amazon (CEAMA), a nucleus was created with 16 members, chosen according to different criteria of representativeness. The nucleus is divided into four sub-commissions: Anthropological-Sociological and Spiritual, Historical-Cultural, Theological-Ecclesiological and Ritual-Juridical.

A man wakes up in San Francisco, has breakfast, showers, and gets ready for work. As he opens his front door, he discovers a fresh deuce on the stoop of his seven-million-dollar row home. In a previous time, he would have noticed it earlier in the morning when he went to fetch the San Francisco Chronicle and the New York Times or Wall Street Journal newspapers. Today he stumbles past the foul-smelling excrement on his way to see if his Range Rover is still where he left it the previous night. He notices the depositor of the morning gift two...

Governor Asa Hutchinson (R-AR) said Friday on CNN’s “New Day” that President Joe Biden’s Thursday night speech was “divisive” because it singled out a segment of Americans as “our enemy.” Hutchinson said, “It was a political speech. It was a divisive speech, and that’s not presidential. I said repeatedly that we should not be dwelling upon the last election, we need to be looking at the future and solving problems, and here the president comes out, and he simply talks about the last election and the divisiveness and attacks a segment of America, and that’s not unifying. In his speech,...

Sixty-nine percent of voters believe President Joe Biden’s economy is fairly bad or very bad, a Civiqs poll found Friday. The Civiqs poll averaged 750,700 responses tracked between January 15, 2015 — August 31, 2022. The Civiqs tracking model captures the shifts in attitude of various groups over time across all 50 states and Washington, D.C. These changes can happen either rapidly or over time.

Federal agents removed thousands of documents from former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate last month — a fraction of which contained classified information, according to a detailed inventory unsealed by a federal judge Friday. The property list revealed by US District Judge Aileen Cannon indicated that 11,179 government documents and photographs seized by federal agents on Aug. 8 bore no classification markings at all. By contrast, 54 documents removed from the Palm Beach, Fla., resort were marked “SECRET,” 31 were labeled “CONFIDENTIAL” and another 18 were labeled “TOP SECRET,” according to an initial tally by The Post.

CNN political commentator Van Jones said Friday on CNN’s “Newsroom” that the beginnings of what could be a blue wave are forming for Democrats in the 2022 midterm election. Jones said, “Coming into Labor Day weekend, you are starting to see the beginnings of what could be a blue wave. I don’t think people understand, on the Democratic side, how upset and how motivated Democrats are. There was a season of shame from the time that the Afghanistan exit was botched and this whole year of getting nothing done where Democrats had our heads held down.” He added, “Now, because...

President Joe Biden stood in front of Independence Hall Thursday night to declare, “I will not stand by and watch the most fundamental freedom in this country, the freedom to vote and have your vote counted, be taken from you and the American people.” I half expected him to say he will not allow the elimination of sunshine, nor the banning of apple pie, the Super Bowl, and ice cream. Just two days after joking about turning U.S. fighter jets on disagreeable Americans at a speech in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, Biden returned to the SAME STATE, this time in Philadelphia,...

Abbey Gate, the main entrance for the NATO base at Hamid Karzai International Airport (HKIA), was an entrance of sharp turns and checkpoints to prevent a vehicle from ramming through the checkpoint at high speed. My team and I trained security forces at HKIA for Abbey Gate’s biggest and most dangerous vulnerability in December 2020: an improvised explosive device (IED). The 11 nations that occupied the base had never worked together in this way, and what I observed as the immediate barrier to the exercise, besides the language barrier, was pride. My first job was to break down that barrier....

PARIS (AP) — France’s minister for energy transition said Friday that French electricity giant EDF has committed to restart all its nuclear reactors by this winter to help the country through the broad energy crisis aggravated by the war in Ukraine. Agnes Pannier-Runacher said the government is taking steps to “avoid restrictive measures” over energy use in the peak winter cold season, following a special government meeting over energy issues. France relies on nuclear energy for about 67% of its electricity — more than any other country — and on gas for about 7%. At the moment, 32 of the...

Is Fox News host Steve Doocy the latest spokesperson for the Justice Department? There are times when I wonder, given his intractable defense of the illegal raid of Mar-a-Lago on August 8. Doocy has pushed back aggressively on Republican guests who have accused the Department of Justice of running amok and engaging in gross prosecutorial overreach with this raid on the home of a former president. He questioned Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) about who went rogue at the DOJ when executing the search warrant. He told Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) that it was a “big deal” that nuclear secrets were...

This just hit me out of the blue this morning. I hope I am wrong. I have this strange feeling that there will be a staged abortion clinic shooting soon. Biden's speech needs validation and what better way could there be? A virtual trifecta....abortion rights, democracy attack, gun control. Limited casualties, maximum effect. Many here have been discussing a potential false flag. I would not put it past this evil regime. Perhaps if this discussion gets "out there", it could pre-empt it.

The sharp slowdown in China’s growth in the past year is prompting many experts to reconsider when China will surpass the U.S. as the world’s largest economy—or even if it ever will. Until recently, many economists assumed China’s gross domestic product measured in U.S. dollars would surpass that of the U.S. by the end of the decade, capping what many consider to be the most extraordinary economic ascent ever. But the outlook for China’s economy has darkened this year, as Beijing-led policies—including its zero tolerance for Covid-19 and efforts to rein in real-estate speculation—have sapped growth. As economists pare back...

"Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?" "Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice." "And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I...

The incident was captured on camera by a number of Belgorod locals, according to Ukrainian military sources Videos circulating online show the moment the dramatic failure of a Russian air defence missile launch. The fired missile dropped and exploded because it couldn’t accelerate in time. According to Ukrainian military officials, the Russian army launched six S-300 air defence missiles on Wednesday night in the direction of Kharkiv in northeastern Ukraine. One of the missiles, however, veered off course and struck a neighbourhood in the Russian city of Belgorod, which is close to the Ukrainian border. On Twitter and Youtube, multiple...

The average burden per U.S. taxpayer for the new federal student debt cancellation will be $2,503.22, according to new estimates from the National Taxpayers Union, a fiscally conservative advocacy group.That is based on the assumption that policymakers would need to make up for the total tally of the forgiveness through tax increases, spending cuts, borrowing or a combination of those strategies.

On June 21, Patel announced that he and Solomon had been appointed by Trump to obtain the declassified Russiagate documents from the archives: Patel said he was going to post them on his website. DOJ, however, already knew what Patel and Solomon would only discover a month later: The archives didn’t have the declassified documents. So if Patel said he would post them, law enforcement may have wondered, where would he get them from? The answer must have seemed clear: Mar-a-Lago. On June 22, the Justice Department subpoenaed surveillance video footage of the storage locker. According to a New York...
