Egg prices rose to record highs in December. A dozen large Grade A eggs had more than doubled in price during 2022, on average. A historic outbreak of bird flu in the U.S. disrupted egg production and supply, economists said. Wholesale egg prices have fallen by more than 50% since December, according to Urner Barry data. Retail egg prices may soon follow, but it’s not a sure thing.

President Joe Biden made his annual mockery of himself and of Democrats’ ridiculous policies during Tuesday’s State of the Union speech, and at one point got roundly humiliated by Republicans when they all laughed at one of his remarks. Biden, speaking about his administration’s commitment to move away from fossil fuels, stated at one point that “we are going to need oil at least for another decade” before being interrupted by a cacophony of uproarious laughter. Take a look below as Biden once again proves how clueless these folks are: As independent commentator Clay Travis pointed out on Twitter, every...

This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When the...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the British Parliament Wednesday afternoon, expressing his view on military alliances in terms of equipment transfers, and thanking the United Kingdom “in advance” for the gift of its warplanes. The speaker of the British House of Commons was presented with a signed combat pilot’s helmet by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday afternoon, saying the gift should act as a symbol to help get Western warplanes donated to the Ukrainian war effort. Indicating, perhaps, that he now considers getting British fighter jets is now a fait accompli Zelensky said in his address to the UK...

During his State of the Union address Tuesday night, Joe Biden called for unity to get things done in Congress. “To my Republican friends, if we could work together in the last Congress, there is no reason we can’t work together in this new Congress,” Biden said. “The people sent us a clear message. Fighting for the sake of fighting, power for the sake of power, conflict for the sake of conflict, gets us nowhere. And that’s always been my vision for the country: to restore the soul of the nation, to rebuild the backbone of America: the middle class,...

President Biden appeared to go off script during his State of the Union address Tuesday evening, saying that the U.S. would need oil and natural gas for many years to come. "We are still going to need oil and gas for a while," Biden said during his speech. Biden's comments were quickly met with a mixed reaction as some Republicans appeared to cheer the remarks. The president then told an anecdote in which an oil executive asked him why his company should invest in fossil fuel projects in light of the negative business atmosphere for oil and gas projects. Biden...

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden was about midway through a speech of about 7,218-words on Tuesday when a Republican lawmaker tried to shut him down with a single one: “Liar!” It was Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, whom the president had baited by accusing Republicans of wanting to threaten entitlement programs like Social Security. His second State of the Union address was punctuated by outbursts, jeers and peals of mocking laughter, but Biden turned the tables on his Republican opponents and argued in real time with the insurgents. It appeared to be the start of his reelection campaign. When...

Biden presented a misleading narrative about the pandemic during his State of the Union address in order to create the impression that much of the progress made under COVID happened on his watch. “Two years ago, COVID had shut down our businesses, closed our schools, and robbed us of so much,” Biden claimed. “Today, COVID no longer controls our lives.” The COVID pandemic actually began three years ago, in 2020. Many businesses and schools closed or shut down, but various sectors of the economy had already started reopening by May of 2020. According to data from the Bureau of Labor...

“The story of America is a story of progress and resilience,” Biden said. “We are the only country that has emerged from every crisis stronger than when we entered it. That is what we are doing again. Two years ago our economy was reeling. As I stand here tonight, we have created a record 12 million new jobs – more jobs created in two years than any president has ever created in four years.” Since his first year in office, Biden has boasted that he created more jobs than any of his predecessors. However, the majority of the jobs he...

During his State of the Union address, Joe Biden once again blamed Vladimir Putin for inflation.“Inflation has been a global problem because a pandemic directly disrupted our supply chains and Putin’s unfair and brutal war in Ukraine disrupted energy supplies, as well as food supplies, blocking all that grain and Ukraine.”The pandemic certainly did have a negative impact on the worldwide economy, but the inflation rate in January 2021, when he took office, was a mere 1.4%, which was on par with the average inflation rate of 1.2% for all of 2020. Inflation started going up after Biden took office,...

In Denver, the murder and assault rates are twice the national rates, and three times the national rate for rapes and robberies.

Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-Ark.) delivered the Republican response to the State of the Union address.According to The Hill, Sanders “finds herself at her highest position yet in a GOP that is at an intersection between Trumpism and potential new leaders” with her appearance. She was an inspired choice to deliver the GOP response for multiple reasons. First, as Trump’s press secretary, she proved herself an effective communicator who could go toe-to-toe with Democrats. Second, as the nation’s youngest governor, she represents a new generation of conservative leaders.“The American people deserve better than Democrats’ runaway inflation, surging crime, open borders,...

The Bible In Paintings ~ Encouragement for Appreciating and Applying God's Word ~ JESUS SEES THE WIDOW'S HUGE GIFT ֎ Featuring 28 Paintings, 1 Photograph and 2 Windows ֎ M A R K «Chapter 12»* Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a fraction of a penny. Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, this poor widow...

The Walt Disney company is now run by a bunch of despicable America-hating racists of the Left. Their leaders just put out an outrageous mendacious and vile video in order to continue indoctrinating our children into their foul, regressive, illiberal ideology. It’s another example of the truth that whatever the Left touches it destroys. We’ve now gone from warm Sunday evenings sitting together as families to watch the Wonderful World of Disney with Peter and Tinkerbell to this pile of America-bashing excrement put out regularly by the radical American Marxists who run the Disney company. “Slaves Built this Country” featuressome...

Pennsylvania Democrats won a trio of state House special elections Tuesday night, handing them a clear majority. The victories give Democrats the upper hand in a chamber that has seesawed in control since the November elections, resulting in a bipartisan "independent" speaker arrangement that quickly went sour. But with Tuesday's wins, the Democratic Party now is in a stronger position to block GOP-led initiatives, including a potential anti-abortion ballot measure. Democrats won in three districts, according to projections by The Associated Press: 32nd District: Democrat Joe McAndrew defeated Republican Clay Walker. The seat was left vacant after the death in...

Chilling, new surveillance video has emerged of a person appearing to run from the scene where New Jersey Councilwoman Eunice Dwumfour was gunned down in her SUV last week. The short clip obtained by News 12 New Jersey was recorded about 7 p.m. Feb. 1 – around the time Dwumfour was killed – and shows a person wearing dark clothing darting across the frame. It reportedly matches witness accounts that the shooter fled to the Garden State Parkway near the Camelot at La Mer apartment complex in Sayreville, where the victim was found slumped behind the wheel of her white...

Due to demographics, voter manipulation, and implacable ideological fault lines, the 2024 election is a potential watershed that may well be the point of no return for this nation as founded if the Democrat Party’s presidential nominee wins. Thus, it is imperative that the Republican presidential nominee not only has a track record of defeating the radical left and facing down the media but more importantly can win the presidency in a nation far different than the America of seven-years ago. America’s youngest generations (Millennials and Gen Z) now account for over half of the populace. Only 27% are proud...

BERLIN, February 8. /TASS/. Germany won’t participate in the competition to raise stakes when it comes to decision on providing weapons to Ukraine, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said in a speech at the Bundestag on Wednesday. "What harms our unity is a public competition to outdo each other along the lines of: battle tanks, submarines, aircraft - who is asking for more?" he said. "What is harmful is flamboyant domestic political statements, criticism of partners and allies on the open stage. Germany won’t be part of that."

Prof. Alan Dershowitz and other experts tell JNS they would disband the U.N. agency. BY BRADLEY MARTIN (February 7, 2023 / JNS) On his recent trip to Israel, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke often about the importance of security and stability in the region. Following a terrorist attack in which seven Israelis were murdered, he told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israelis should know that America’s commitment to their security is “ironclad.” But several legal analysts told JNS that Blinken’s pledge of roughly $50 million in U.S. additional assistance to the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestine...
