in Food Prices in 30 Years
Posted By: DVC, 6/25/2024 8:18:53 AM
For the first time in 30 years, Argentina experienced a zero-percent increase in the inflation rates of food and drinks during the third week of June, President Javier Milei confirmed on Monday morning. A study published on Sunday by Econométrica, a private Argentine consulting firm, first reported the no-inflation week. In its study, Econométrica analyzed 8,000 prices in local online supermarkets and found no change when compared to the preceding week — something that has not happened in Argentina in three decades. In addition to the lack of variation in prices in one week,

A “[c]onservative-backed group is creating a list of federal workers it suspects could resist Trump plans,” reports the lying, far-left Associated Press, as though this is a bad thing:
Tom Jones and his American Accountability Foundation are digging into the backgrounds, social media posts, and commentary of key high-ranking government employees, starting with the Department of Homeland Security. They’re relying in part on tips from his network of conservative contacts, [snip]
the goal is to post 100 names of government workers to a website this summer to show a potential new administration who might be standing in the way of a second-term Trump agenda
f they couldn’t enrich their home nations, how are they supposed to enrich ours?
To preface, for the sake of clarity, I’m of course speaking in generalities and not definitives—overwhelming generalizations but generalizations nonetheless—and third world Muslim migrants, particularly the imports from Afghanistan, have no intention of assimilating and adopting the culture of the West; here’s the latest case illustrating exactly that, from Amy Mek’s new report at the RAIR Foundation:
In a heartbreaking ‘honor killing’ in Worms, Germany, the police have arrested the Islamic parents of a 15-year-old Muslim girl after her body was found along the Rhine River.
True peace, one that sees people of good will living in harmony with each other despite differing attitudes on some issues, is a wonderful thing. I’d certainly like to see a world like that, although faith tells us it won’t happen without divine intervention. In the real world, there are bad actors, but some once-naïve peace activists—including one former Israeli hostage—are giving up on their Utopian dreams and finally facing reality.
To understand the lunatic nature of leftist peace activists, let’s take a walk through the animal kingdom. Porcupines speak softly and carry big stickers (pun intended). Skunks speak softly and carry bit stinks.

Back in the last century (the 1990s), we “old-timers” in the armed forces wore uniforms of blue, green, khaki, or white slacks, skirts (for women only) and pressed shirts, complete with jackets and ties. Most of us worked side by side with civilian office workers, especially at the Pentagon. Some of us worked with equipment, or in labs, or in environments that required physical labor and had to get permission to wear utility or battle dress uniforms (BDUs) and boots. Camouflage often drew questioning looks, as if we were deliberately flouting the prescribed professional office attire.
Unless investors have closed their eyes and covered their ears, they've likely heard that electric vehicle (EV) sales growth in the U.S. market has slowed to a crawl. That's become a big headache for major automakers such as Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F), which had planned to invest billions of dollars into its EV segments and battery factories.
[snip] Ford Model e in the first quarter checked in with a $1.32 billion loss. A source told Bloomberg recently that Ford's losses per EV topped a staggering $100,000 during the first quarter,

On a side note: A human blimp who no doubt supports illegal and unwarranted land seizures (evidenced by the shemagh draped around her shoulders) chanting about a “greedy side” is peak irony.
The black community has a clear comparison and can see that they were better under the leadership of former President Donald Trump, Duke Buckner, challenger of Democrat Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC), said during an appearance on Breitbart News Daily.
Buckner first pointed to the economic realities that Americans know all too well.
“Bidennomics and gas being over $3 a gallon, that means many folks are working just to put gas in their car. When President Trump was in office, gas was under $2 a gallon. Now it’s well over three. And when you have 78 percent of Americans living paycheck to paycheck, and for many people, bankruptcy seems
The Environmental Integrity Project just published the results of a new study, which reportedly found that the “biofuel” industry pollutes the air just as much as, and oftentimes more than traditional oil refineries, putting out a “significantly” higher amount of particular “dangerous pollutants” not limited to but including, formaldehyde.
Isn’t that just swell, “they’re” giving us cancer while embalming us in real time—yes, this is the “clean” and “green” future under “their” tutelage. Here are the details, from a new report by Ari Phillips of Oil & Gas Watch, the online publication for the EIP, out just yesterday:
Report: Jet-powered biofuel is weighed down by pollution and loopholes
According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, also known as the New World’s Pravda, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has signed a law prohibiting training for licensed police officers on “excited delirium.”
You may well be asking yourself, “Say what?”
Star Tribune: “Excited delirium usually refers to a person possessed by a potentially deadly form of agitation, sometimes abetted by drug abuse, and displaying aggressive behavior, profuse sweating, public nudity, mouth foaming and superhuman strength.”
Well, just because a perp is on drugs, foaming at the mouth, possibly nude, displaying aggressive behavior and deadly agitation while exhibiting superhuman strength, that’s no reason for law enforcement personnel to use force against that person!
Farmers from across Europe took to their tractors again, swarming Brussels and blockading the border between France and Spain to firmly plant their opposition to the globalist Green Deal agenda in the minds of voters as they head to the polls for the European Parliament elections this week.
“Farmers of the world, unite!” was the slogan as tractors shut down the Franco-Spanish border on both sides of the Pyrenees starting on Monday, according to Le Figaro, which reported that around 200 to 300 French farmers joined the protest which blocked at least seven crossings before disbanding on Tuesday.
An election candidate in Germany was stabbed in the head and stomach on Tuesday night after confronting a gang of men tearing down election posters, the second stabbing of a right winger in a single German city in four days.
62-year-old Alternative for Germany (AfD) council election candidate Heinrich Koch was stabbed in Mannheim on Tuesday. German newspaper Die Welt reports the right-wing campaigner was cut on the ear and stomach by the assailant and was taken to the hospital.
The injuries are not life threatening but required stitches.

Abortion giant Planned Parenthood announced it is spending $40 million to prop up 81-year-old President Joe Biden and Democrats in key congressional races ahead of November, The Hill reported.
The organization, which was founded by an infamous racist with ties to the eugenics movement, made the announcement on Monday to coincide with the second anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision. The Dobbs decision overturned the court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision — which had invented a constitutional right to abortion for 50 years — and returned the issue of abortion to individual states.
The Washington Post ran a lengthy article last week bemoaning the fact that AI (artificial intelligence) is sucking up so much power that it’s already straining the nation’s electric grid and is bad for the environment. Seriously? So, how will the grid be able to handle the millions of electric cars environmentalists want to force on the road? The answer might shock you.
The Post reports that:
“As the tech giants compete in a global AI arms race, a frenzy of data center construction is sweeping the country. Some computing campuses require as much energy as a modest-sized city, turning
Democratic senator Sheldon Whitehouse (R.I.) is sponsoring legislation to tackle so-called shrinkflation, saying that corporations "prey on consumers" by stealthily shrinking the quantity of snacks, toilet paper, and other consumer products to pad their bottom line. Whitehouse also holds hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of stock in those same corporations, according to a review of his portfolio.
In announcing his sponsorship of the Shrinkflation Prevention Act, Whitehouse cited a report from Senate Democrats that shames several alleged practitioners of shrinkflation, (snip) Whitehouse and his wife own between $303,000 and $910,000 in shares of the firms identified in the Senate report,
Sixteen Nobel Prize-winning economists — all unabashed liberals — have unleashed a partisan attack against Donald Trump on the eve of the first presidential debate.
In a letter released Wednesday, the economists claim that former President Donald Trump could stoke inflation if he wins the presidency in November and implements his economic plans. It’s highly likely that President Joe Biden or even the debate moderators will “Many Americans are concerned about inflation, which has come down remarkably fastcite the letter during Thursday night’s debate.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) said Tuesday on CNN’s “The Source” that people did not actually believe President Joe Biden would be on cocaine and any reference to it is in “jest.”
Johnson said, “I don’t have no personal animus against Joe Biden. Of course, I respect the office and I’ve just acknowledged what everyone sees. We can’t help how we age. Everybody ages differently at a different pace.”
Host Kaitlan Collins said, “Some of the rhetoric is out of line where when people from Trump’s team are suggesting that, and Trump himself, that Biden is going to be on cocaine when he is on the debate stage
Pope Francis has denounced the arrogance of those who seek dominion over nature, which leads to the degradation of the environment. (snip) To claim the right to possess and dominate nature “represents a form of idolatry,” Francis declares, “a Promethean version of man who, intoxicated by his technocratic power, arrogantly places the earth in a ‘dis-graced’ condition, deprived of God’s grace.” (snip) This past April, Pope Francis told CBS News that climate change deniers are “stupid” to refute compelling evidence of a climate emergency.
“Some people are stupid (necios), and stupid even if you show them research, they don’t believe it,” the pontiff told CBS Evening News anchor Norah O’Donnell

MSNBC host Joy Reid said Wednesday on “The ReidOut” that it is “deeply offensive” that “felon” former President Donald Trump gets to stand next to President Joe Biden during the debate.
Reid said. “Mary Trump’s book, the thing that comes through is the word that hurts him most is fail. Thing they were not allowed to be was failures in that family. He’s sensitive to failure and not being loved. He’s very needy. It does seem there are key words Biden could use. Fail is one, felon feels like a good one. Is that what the Biden team is drilling him on to get these words in to bug him?”

There have been several cases of late where defendants are illegal aliens charged with serious felonies. Too many. The murder of Laken Riley sparked national outrage when we learned that the suspect was admitted into the country via Joe Biden's lax/nonexistent immigration policies.
Laken Riley was murdered and the suspect, Jose Ibarra, was indicted. Becca Lower reported:
The grand jury indicted Jose Ibarra, a 26-year-old Venezuela national, who had entered the country illegally in September 2022 in El Paso, Texas. He faces charges of malice murder and felony murder in connection with Riley’s death.
Riley was found deceased on Augusta University’s campus

The Louisville police chief responsible for the botched case against world No 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler was forced to resign this week.
Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel handed in her notice after being suspended over the mishandling of a sexual harassment claim about an officer.
That plunged the department into yet more turmoil, weeks after Louisville cops came under fire over their handling of Scheffler's case. Gwinn-Villaroel vowed to 'to respect the legal process' and 'let it play out' after Scheffler was shockingly arrested at the PGA Championship in May.
The golfer was taken to jail and charged with a felony - second-degree assault of a police officer -

Twice failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has her sights set on your children — for more climate change messaging.
Hillary Clinton is putting pressure on Hollywood studios to develop movies and TV shows that dramatize how climate change is putting kids in danger. “There’s now research on this topic, but most people are not aware at all,” Clinton said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “Our hope is that we can help people make the connections between children’s mental and physical health and the impact of climate change.”

We have our hand on the Bible swearing we are not making this story up.
A gang of 16 Nobel prize-winning economists signed a letter yesterday endorsing Joe Biden for president because: “There is rightly a worry that Donald Trump will reignite inflation with his fiscally irresponsible budgets.”
But then our colleague, Scott Bessent, noticed something strange and ironic about the signatories: 13 of these economists signed a highly-publicized open letter three years ago assuring Americans that Biden’s “Build Back Better” spending spree would “ease longer-term inflationary pressures.”
A mom has claimed she was booted off a United Airlines flight with her distressed 16-month-old son over using the wrong pronoun for a flight attendant.
Jenna Longoria was expecting to fly to Austin from San Francisco on Wednesday with her mom and son when United stopped them from traveling.
She alleges she was denied boarding after an 'accidental' mix-up when addressing a United staff member, who she says refused to accept her apology.
The frantic mom also alleged the flight had taken off with her luggage containing her and her mom's medication still on board, leaving at risk of becoming 'very sick' while stranded.

Free market, balanced budget economics can bring a long term shambling wreck of an economy to inflation under control in a very short period.
Proof of what we need to do.
