Inflation is only at 2.6% year-over-year. This means that nearly 100% of the cost of tariffs has been eaten by the foreign manufacturers and importers. Which is exactly what I’ve been arguing would happen. Let me explain what is happening: The notion that tariffs would be passed onto customers has always been laughable on its face, once you understand that manufacturing is only 20% to 40% of the price of an item for sale. The rest includes advertising, warehousing, transportation and sales markup. (Importers have high transportation costs to get the product to America, but that’s all part of replacing...

Luke 1:68-70 (King James Version) Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David; As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: Last weekend it looks like there were two murders of two very different people who are most likely in two eternities right now. There was a young Christian girl who apparently was targeted for her faith and one of the richest most famous man killed by...

Matthew 5:43-48 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. What a weekend of massacres this one had. In the three however they...

John 10:7, 9-10 (King James Version) Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. Congratulations to Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, Dan Bongino and Judge Pirro for finding the J-6 Pipe Bomber. This is the first piece of the puzzle which is going to explain the entire orchestration of the trap which was set to stop the Electoral College count in the House which was about to expose the voter fraud in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Nevada as they axed for certification guarantees. This is the major piece of...

Ephesians 1:9-10 (King James Version) Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: Havana on the Hudson has sunk to new lows as they have elected an avowed Communist as their mayor. Mayor elect Mandy has offered the working poor and Karens enough free candy as well as virtue signaling their proving they are not...

Just started this afternoon...attempting to play Newsmax (Xfinity channel 1115). I'll get sound for about 3 seconds then it cuts off. EVERY other channel has sound working perfectly. If I jump channels and return to Newsmax, same thing: Two seconds of sound, then silence. I smell a 'RAT.

Psalm 62:1 (King James Version) Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. It is impossible to overstate the size of Trump’s accomplishment with the Israel/Gaza peace agreement. One week after the Swedish brat was going to Gaza to stir up unrest and blame Israel for more atrocities, Trump is signing the agreement for peace. This is truly remarkable by a remarkable man who has spent his entire life prepping for this moment. The man who has been vilified more than anyone since Christ while showing why the Founding Fathers wanted successful part time politicians rather than...

Galatians 3:28 (King James Version) There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. The massacre of these children in Minneapolis was a political assassination by one of the favored groups of the Communist Party. He obviously was a hardcore Dim since the slogans on his guns were DNC talking points one after another. They were obviously not used in the mainstream sources, although if you went to fringe websites you would hear those chants over and over. This kid was sucked into...

Last Dem ticket that won without at least one slave state nominee on the ticket as either President or Vice-President was FDR/Wallace in 1940.

As we know, Grabbin' Noisome is planning a special election to return the power to draw Congressional districts to the State Legislature. Anybody with functioning brain cells knows that the only way to win that special election would be an epic level of ballot fraud and manipulated vote counting. To the former (and this might help nationwide), Trump could instruct the Postal Service to refuse to process mail-in ballots without sending them certified mail in order to guarantee a chain of custody. That takes a signature and voter ID if Trump specifies it. I just want to see the meltdown...

After Alaska, it is now very likely that Trump will visit Moscow next (with or without Zelensky). Since Trump had a B-2 flyover, it will be interesting to see what Putin does for the arrival ceremony. I am sure he will feel the need to match, or even exceed, the arrival ceremony his military in Moscow (especially if Zelensky is there, which will likely never happen).

A good deal for all? Strict tariffs? Noting of substance? Full on military aid to Ukraine? Threat of military force by Trump?

Isaiah 33:22 (King James Version) For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save us. The PDX Crusade was a bright fire in the darkest place on earth and exploded like sparklers shot at an Antifa rally. It had the feel of the old Billy Graham Crusades which I attended in the old Memorial Coliseum where I came to Christ at 13 years old, so it brought back some old feelings. I got there a couple hours early and was sitting in the second row while the people were doing...

...According to ABC News, the dismissals were sudden and unexplained....

A woman, now around 40, born between 1980-87, comes forward saying Trump and Epstein raped her in the 90s. The media will break out the old phrase "Trump has been credibly accused" and daily remind everyone of course that he was sued civilly for sexual abuse and lost.

Adam Carolla Calls Out Gavin Newsom: “He’s a Sociopath.” Comedian and podcaster Adam Carolla doesn’t hold back as he exposes the emptiness behind California Governor Gavin Newsom’s leadership.

Jasmine Crockett unveils a game called "Trump or trans," and the witness has to identify who is responsible for a number of horrible acts, Trump or a trans person. Spoiler alert: It's always Trump

For Tampa FL's residents who do NOT speak or read Spanish, Walmart's corporate overlords have just declared you to be an official minority. As of yesterday morning, Walmart's corporate (not sponsored) website comes up entirely in Spanish, with no obvious "Press 2 for English" option showing anywhere. Are they for real? A search online resulted in dozens of so-called "explanations" as to why this kind of thing might be happening to you on your computer. One explanation given was that a "business" might switch to Spanish as its default language in corporate communications if/when the demographic in a locality it...

Where Things Stand "When the truth comes out, do not ask me how I knew. Ask yourself why you didn't." — "The Researcher" on X [Link at his site] Click photo of Norm Eisen to play video. “Fighting fascism,” for the American Jacobins who lead the Democratic Party, means opposing any attempt to flush the corruption out of the entrenched bureaucracy, just as their pet phrase “our democracy” actually refers to the matrix of grift and despotic activism that drives their political operating system. That is exactly how and why the USAID was so crucial to spread captured taxpayer spoils...
