Someone had requested a simple to see infographic of the Bureau of Labor and Statistics August inflation data with monthly and yearly outcomes. I thought everyone might find this graphic as a good tool for sharing with your network. [Data Source Link]
Additionally, the BLS also released the producer price index today [DATA HERE]. The PPI for goods dropped slightly, as we expected, due to the August temporary decline in gasoline and diesel. However, the PPI for final demand services moved up 0.4 percent in August, the fourth consecutive rise.
We are now seeing service providers having to raise their prices to cover their increased costs. This could be trouble for employment in the long-term.
How does one go about getting these gren loans?

First of all, you need to get the loan. He will forgive it if times get tough.
Apply as an Indian or Black loan applicant.

What’s gonna happen when the Railroad goes on strike Friday ?
What’s gonna happen when UPS goes on strike when their contract is up in the spring ?
Nothing good.
The strikes are part of the plan to wreck the Main Street Economy.
The Rail Union’s #1 focus is NOT representing the workers. Modern US Unions are first and foremost are Money Launderers and blackmail artists. The Management of Unions is no longer from the rank and file but are LAWYERS and MBA’s.
The member Unions of the AFL/CIO now control Strategically key assets (transport, communications, High Tech Media and Government) that can bring the US Economy and Government to its knees via strikes if necessary.
Plus, this all aligns with the Labor Union ACT Bill sitting in the senate that will essentially open every US Business to being unionized or else face the DoJ…Gee wonder what will be demanded to end the strikes??
If it’s gonna happen, let it happen on these a-wholes watch.
Problem is their “watch” will be a cave to pass the Labor Union ACT Bill via bi-partisan vote.
How many people on this site have suggested a mass strike to get our overloads to take note of our displeasure? I see it recommended somewhat often. SO yeah, here is a strike that is going to get a lot of peoples’ attention. It’s gonna hurt if it happens, but as you said, our country needs to experience pain for the population to wake up to reality, and that pain needs to happen on the swamp’s watch.
I think it’s a bluff. The unions got lots of treats.
It’s rather ironic that a railway strike could lead to the implosion of the economy & society … a twist on Atlas Shrugged.
Biden gets to blame railway workers…
IDK… remember he’s very fond of railroad workers…
BIDEN:
“I commuted every single day, 263 miles a day, on Amtrak from the time I got elected United States senator. As a matter of fact, when I was vice president, I used to like to take the train home when my mom was very sick and dying, and I’d come home every weekend to make sure I’d take the train home. …
“And I’m getting on one Friday, and then one of the senior guys on Amtrak, Angelo Negri — I got to know all the conductors really well; they became my friends. … And Ang walks up to me and goes, ‘Joey, baby!’ Grabs my cheek. And I thought the Secret Service was going to blow his head off. … I said, ‘What’s up, Ang?’ He said, ‘Joey, I read in the paper — I read in the paper you traveled 1,000 — 1.2 million miles on Air Force planes’ — because they keep meticulous tabs of it. I said, ‘Yeah.’ … He said, ‘You know how many miles you traveled on Amtrak, Joey?’ And I said, ‘No.’ He said, ’The boys and I figured it out … He says, ‘You travel 2 million…’ — I think it was 180, but — ‘2,200,000 miles.’
“I said, ‘How did you get that answer?’ He said, ‘Well, 267 miles a day. We figured you traveled 119 days a year for 36 years, and then you traveled as vice president.’ And then he goes, ‘So, Joey, I don’t want to hear this about the Air Force anymore.’”
.×-×-×-×-×-×-×-×-×-×-×
THE FACTS: The tale as Biden spins it is wrong. Negri could not have had that conversation because he was already deceased by the time Biden logged 1.2 million miles on Air Force Two.”

I read the Railroad strike has been called off
Right on cue as this just posted after I put this on the Presidential thread.
Just had some fun opening the mail after dinner and surprise surprise … the US Government and DNC Commercials covering the Inflation Reduction Act has had one of their talking points proven a LIE, i.e. Drug cost reductions for senior citizens.
The 2023 Medicare Silver Script rates have arrived:
The monthly premium is UP $1, OK not bad but it is still > $0 and in 2020 President Trump managed to drop our Premium from $21 to $18.
The annual deductible is up $25.
There is now a potential for a co-pay to cover Tier 1 and Tier 2 Generics, which is now $0 for 2022.
The Tier 3 and Tier 5 co-pay percentages have risen.
We will not know until we try to get a refills in 2023 if the Tier on our generics and Tier 4 my wife uses have changed as they did this year, forcing an always messy prescription change due to dosage conversion tables. Changing the Tier of drugs is a favorite trick to raise costs or force folks to choose another “favored” generic. Conveniently the drug tables do change until 2023.
Granted this is not going to break my personal bank but in my mind change in all the numbers is greater than $0. All totaled this is about 5% increase in cost before the new Tier allocations and generic co-pay situations are known. Also, there are quite a few folks over 65 who not so financially fortunate.
Want to bet the $35 insulin price tag limit being bragged about is for a specific off-brand, that may or may not work as a safe replacement??

Too bad a democrat doesn’t know how to read their bill.
Or even compare it to democrat commercials.

The elderly on fixed income are being squeezed. I have had several customers tell me they can’t afford all of their meds for the month. Many find themselves in the coverage gap early on in the year too. A lot of people are using noninsulin injectables, like Trulicity for example, for diabetes that are expensive. This plan will give in one hand while taking from the other. I doubt many will see savings.
I’ve never understood the concept of the elderly and “fixed incomes.”
Everyone is on a “fixed income,” unless you’re entirely self-employed and your monthly net revenue fluctuates, or you live only on proceeds from asset appreciation like stocks.
If you’re employed and salaried, your income is fixed. It isn’t changing. I guess you can ask your boss for a raise, or even an “inflation stipend,” but he’ll just say no if he doesn’t laugh at you.
“Fixed income” is synonymous with “budget.” It sucks. We’re all getting squeezed.
Rush Limbaugh pointed this out a lot.
I get your point, and for many it is a valid point. But it is also valid that many people live on an income that they are incapable of increasing and already live as frugally as is possible. Think very old, ill, blind, handicapped, etc.
If it bugs you to call it a “fixed income” just call it whatever you want.. but the problem for them is real.
I think those Walker and Nameth commercials are for medicare advantage policy’s. Differant than traditional medicare that you appear to have. They are pure scams and rip offs in the long run. Might work for some if you never get sick or use them. I’ll stick with my traditional medicare. Better than nothing.
I have had Medicare Advantage plans for 17 years. Which you cannot obtain without basic Medicare coverage to begin with, they are “on-top” of basic Medicare. I fail to see how you think they are scams/rip offs. Basic Medicare ONLY covers 80% of medical bills. Medicare Advantage pays for the other 20% for small additional monthly amount, (does have various limits & caps & varies between company’s offerings, so shopping around where available, is required).
I really didn’t think my response thru before I posted. I try to be short and not drawn out. Medicare policy’s are not one size fits all. Granted advantage policy’s are o.k. for some. It’s the commercials that are misleading.
Dad had a Cadillac MCA plan. He had colon cancer and went through surgery and chemo and never paid a dime.
Nobody thinks it will happen to them, until it does.
Don’t forget to check with Martha. The one with the blocky glasses. ‘She’s NOT going to call!’
This is a “not for everyone” but something most wouldn’t think of, that MAY be of help to some.
I know a couple. He, 65 has a couple of chronic health conditions, Drs can’t do anything for, and not fatal.
Overall, active and ‘healthy’.
She, under 65, has a chronic condition Drs can’t help, but that is disabling, so can’t work and so qualified for SSDI.
Also, another chronic condition for which she needs to take a pill every day, or she will die,…a very EXPENSIVE pill, its over $2000 for a 1 months supply, out of pocket.
In order to continue having the Dr Rx the pill, she needs lab test 4 times/year, @ $750 each time and 4 office visits at $180, out of pocket.
When she was approved for Disability, she qualified for Medicare, $170/ month taken out of her SS, to pay the premium.
But, none of the insurance plans would pay for the meds.
So, they both opted out of Medicare. Having no ins. (other than medicare part A, hospitalisation) and an income of around $2600/ mo. the clinic put them on a ‘sliding fee scale’ and charges them $40 per visit, the lab ditto at $30 per stick.
The drug company, thru a contractor detirmined they qualify for free meds.
BECAUSE they have “no insurance” their total YEARLY costs are $240.
Less than 1 MONTHS Medicare premiums. If they have a “catastrophe” they ARE covered by Medicare part A if hospitalised.
If they have any medical problem “come up”, its $40 for a visit.
And yes, medicare, should they decide at some point in the future to ‘sign up’ charges them a ‘penalty’.
As they have no intention of doing so, they don’t CARE, and they are “saving” $340/ month x12 months, minus $240, every year.
And no aggravation with co-pays, deductibles, etc.
It works for them,…
our generics doubled while others at $75 stayed the same
I’ve watched in horror as “Biden” drained our Strategic petroleum reserved down to practically the last drop.
Now “he” is planning on refilling it at the cost of $80/barrel.
Does anyone remember when Mr Trump sought permission to boost our essential reserves for a cost of $24/barrel? Congress, stuffed with hate filled members said no. (I won’t call them representatives as the only people they represent are themselves.)
The upcoming rail strike, the Congressional solution for it having been shot down today by Dems of course, will simply add more inflation to the pile.
My worries and heartfelt prayers are for those who are ill prepared to bear the increases which seem to have no end. I wish I could see a way out…I simply can’t.
Yep, it was interesting watching the ripple effect on gas prices across town, over the past 2 days, as the Gas Stations had to switch over to selling the next delivery of gasoline and diesel, prices jumped by 30-50 cents per gallon depending on the grade and type of fuel purchased within minutes.
The fact that it was ripple change by more the 1-5 cents is proof positive that demand is still DOWN as gas stations normally change in unison to keep rates within 1-2 cents per gallon of each other.
An intended consequence, one at least, of the Keystone shutdown. Oil transported by rail, a great proportion owned by Warren Buffett.
I noticed that jump today here in far north Dallas TX. The closest gas station to me was $2.97 on Monday. Today it was $3.29
Yep, I live in Collin County, TX and saw the ripple jump across the gas stations on the way to the gym and when we went shopping, about 10 different gas stations.
Well at least that puts a stake through the heart of the imbecilic WH claim they have reduced gasoline prices…a claim they’ve been taking ever opportunity to make, fake though it is.
I noticed the jump as I headed to Ollie’s to buy goods that our woke retailers couldn’t sell and had to offload to said discount retailer offering 30% off previous prices.
(shameless Ollie’s plug for those inflation conscious consumers wishing to stick it to Walmart, Target, Bed Bath and Beyond, etc.)
Gas in my area of central VA jumped 25 cents across the board late this morning. I watched two different stations change the signs while out running errands.
I feel so bad for conservatives who are not faring well with respect to their mental health. Every day of Dem-controlled government is infuriating and depressing, made worse by conservatives shooting us in the foot. I think I’m going to have a break down if voters don’t rip the House and Senate majorities away from the Dems, or Alaskans give away the House and Senate seats because the voters are too stupid to figure out how to do ranked-choice and Begich and Tshibaka aren’t urging their supporters to rank Palin and Murkowski #2.
Sure it won’t start until after the midterms as it will cause a spike in oil prices.
The shrinkflation is amazingly insulting. Bag of archway ginger snaps, similar size bag as in past 13 small cookies barely covered the bottom of the bag. Unreal

Get the generic oat cereal that looks like the name brand. Half the price and tastes the same.
Walmart oatmeal has gone from $2.45 to $3.98 here

Then there’s spoilflation. Stuff going bad before its (already tight) expiration date.
I’m guessing I’m not the only one who’s seen this.
No you are not.
I noticed that in a box of Rice a Roni. Seemed like a really good sale, so I bought some wild rice in same size as usual box. Opened box and was a little less than half a box of actual rice and the wild rice in it was really hard to find. Cooked up about half the usual amount.
The producers are only doing what they have to do to charge a price that people are willing to pay.
Bernie Sanders was an obscure congressional laughingstock (even lefty democrats shunned him) for DECADES until Barack Hussein Alinsky & Co. came along and used textbook Marxist class envy tactics to astroturf & agitate the violent OWS mob . . . . . which gave Bernie an opening on the national stage and a following of lazy slackers and economic imbeciles.
Now the unworkable economic piffle from the likes of comrade Bernie and Lizzie Warren are mainstream in the democrat party….and it shows.
We can’t expect any help from the democrats, that’s a hopeless cause. Even the normal ones on a personal level are just blindly filled with raw hate. I couldn’t believe the things my neighbor was saying today. He was saying if he had things his way Trump would take a bullet through the head. He was also jumping up and down with glee that 40 subpoenas had been handed out to President Trump’s friends – This all from a guy that’s otherwise normal . . Sad . . How can you hate someone who just does what he says and makes life better for everyone ? We’re up against way more than politics in this.
Being an emotional basket-case & devoid of logic is unfortunately a mandatory prerequisite for being a democrat today.
These are sick and dangerous people.
I know, it’s not good that my friend flips a switch like that. You can’t do anything but sit there and listen, it would be pointless to try and talk to him. Of course he brings the political bullshit up to start with, right out of left field, then someone defuses it and the switch goes back off, it’s not a very long process.
They lack; rationale, judgment, commonsense. Otherwise, impossible to be a Democrat.

I often wonder the same. I work with engineers. Engineering requires intelligence, critical thinking and deduction. Somehow these people can do their jobs and spew demohate propaganda at the same time. It’s bizarre. What really kills me is their allegiance to the “shots.” They’re all in on stupid, yet they are not stupid. I think they are giving me cognitive dissonance. 😂

They are driven by emotion – their intellect does not figure in the equation.
Like everything else.. Engineers.. Mechanics.. Constructors.. Fck’n Divers.. whoever.. are born.. not made..
because God gifts each person a talent.. a talent that is unique for each and every one of us.. the key is in finding out the talent one possesses..
just because a person is good at reiterating what they study and learn in order to get a college degree in a field.. doesn’t make them a professional in that field.. it just shows they are good at reiterating what they study and learn.. not actually applying it..
that’s why there are good ones and bad ones out there.. the good ones are good because they have the talent as well..
the bad ones.. are just good at studying and passing two-dimensional written tests in the classroom.. not real world projects in the three-dimensional real world..
it is in the application of what they study and learn by book or hands-on trade.. and knowing how and when and what to applicate what they studied and learned by book or hands-on trade to the myriad of possible variables upon variables that can be dependent and/or interdependant of one other..
all making for quite a complex equation.. that if wrongly applied.. can result in a cascading colossal failure..
that’s why hands-on trade learning in the three-dimensional world more often produces successful professionals than schoolbooks.. hands-on trade training weeds out the stupid..
and instead of a making a grand complex cascading failure.. those who were born with the talent.. those who learned by trade.. know the even the most complex can be accomplished by a simple solution..
“..When in Doubt.. Overbuild..”
..that my friends.. is Talent..
Oh AMEN, Texian. How right you are. A truth I came to appreciate the older I became. As I know your story so well, my appreciation of those who chose the type of path you did garner my admiration. Every word you wrote is the truth, and I’m glad you posted it.
Common sense ain’t so common. What do these engineers design? I am asking so I can avoid their products.
In my mind, it proves just how powerful the media is in influencing the citizenry. That is where all of the lies & untruths about Trump have festered. Propaganda is amazingly effective if you have no basic values or convictions or family connections that have them!
I tried to be reasonable with a new neighbor but she will not even speak to me over “Trump”.
Pending rail strike is being PUSHED and SUPPORTED by Commie Sanders. If railroads strike, costs will explode:
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/rail-shutdown-looms-large-even-congress-steps
Most of me is convinced this is a Railway Reichstag Fire with Biden rushing in at last minute with a savior plan. If there is an actual strike, I’d be surprised.
Very possible, but the strike will do a lot of things the global cabal wants done. See the earlier post in the thread, quoting here: “Plus, this all aligns with the Labor Union ACT Bill sitting in the senate that will essentially open every US Business to being unionized or else face the DoJ”
All the Turtle will do is play politics with it..so he can “blame the D’s” for the impacts. Great…..he can open his trap for this but nothing on so many other critical things. Why? Because he WANTS it…because he IS one of them.
As Sundance has said…the design is built to crush main street business for the benefit of mega corporations who funnel massive dollars into their pockets. Sickening.
This is all part and parcel I believe of the speeded up Agenda 2030, signed a couple of months ago by the malignant Schwab and the UN’s Guterres.
The events happening in Europe started escalating immediately after. And then we have the inflammatory Reichstag speech from a demented moral cripple, after which comes the certain rail strike….just as harvest time hits, just as cattle are being moved to market, and more. And this after an unfathomable number of food processing plants have been struck, sabotaged, and put out of commission this year.
Coincidence? I do not believe in them.
None of this…none…is serendipitous. How many in Congress from both houses and both political parties are being paid off by global interests to sit down, shut up, and watch it all play out?
For me the script and the actors of this genocidal repeat and unnatural marriage of Holodomor with Nazi Germany of the last century are of a movie we’ve seen before. And most here are still overdosed on sleeping tablets.
I do not think Biden has any clue what is truly going on. This is all down to the satanic global architects, safe wherever they are, far from what they have wrought.
We are in God’s hands. As CS Lewis said (paraphrasing), the time comes when we must turn to Him and say, “You must do this. We can’t.” And pray that His mercies on this nation led into depravity and cruelty by soulless individuals will include showing us a way to break the evil leading us.
“How many in Congress from both houses and both political parties are being paid off by global interests to sit down, shut up, and watch it all play out?”
Something keeps them from doing the right thing, and for a very long time. I don’t listen to any of them anymore, it’s all for show.
Nor do I, Phflipper. It’s hard to hear them when they say nothing, except for their poseur committees when they need their 5 minutes of exposure.
Why, of course he did!

Why are they going to plant trees? Don’t they know that they are trying to get rid of what trees breathe? Oh, that’s right, you make up science as you go along, real science doesn’t pertain.
I can guarantee the 1.5B to “plant trees” will go into urban slush funds (which will not be used to plant trees) and to landscape liberal temples such as the Kennedy School of Government.
Leftpukes call cannabis “trees”..
Yuval Harari recently said, “Science isn’t about Truth, it is about Power.”
You don’t have to pay to plant trees. I live out in the country. Take any acre of ground and just don’t do anything. The first year or two will be mostly weeds. Then three or four years of briars and vines. By year ten it is small trees. After twenty it is a forest. After fifty, you can harvest marketable lumber. Then start over.
But this is equitable tree planting in underserved communities. So, Podesta will shell out money to a landscaping company to plant trees in government housing projects, downtown drug alleys, in homeless communities while skimming off 50% for grift. The trees will be vandalized before they get over 3 years old, cut down to use for weapons, or burned to keep the homeless warm. They will plant trees in tribal areas that will die in the first drought that hits.
I wasn’t aware that health insurance costs had increased so greatly. I remember several years ago seeing a billboard at a Chicago train station announcing how many people received subsidies or “free” health insurance through the very poorly-named “Affordable Care Act”. What it actually showed was just how unaffordable insurance had become thanks to Obama and the stupid Dems in control at that time (which makes me want to ask why anyone ever votes for Dems any more). So now the unaffordable Obamacare, which the majority of people who bought it required subsidies, is even less affordable now.
Presuming this is correct: 89% of the people who were enrolled in exchange plans nationwide as of early 2022 were receiving premium subsidies. How is it affordable if nearly 90% need subsidies???
Thank you to the GOP majority House and Senate in 2017 for removing the Obamacare penalty, so people who can’t afford the Obamacare-compliant policies can buy what they can afford or even go without. There’s reason #5 to vote all-GOP. Some of you whiners complain that the GOP majorities in the first half of Trump’s first term did nothing, but removing the Obamacare penalty was BIG. Do you think Dem majorities would ever do that?
I’ve always said that the problem with our healthcare system isn’t that some people DON’T have health insurance, it’s that some people DO.
Insurance does nothing but drive up the prices so now your deductable is what you were paying in total back when the system worked.
It’s insane that a state that Trump won so easily re-elected a Dem Senator! It’s infuriating to be harmed by the votes of stupid people in other states. I’m tired of being held hostage by that jerk. West Virginia, elect a Republican in 2026! (It’s depressing to see that year. )
Oops, I meant to post this as a reply to Marcusliciniuscrassus below.
My cheapest quote from the “marketplace” this year was $5k out of pocket and a 700$ a month premium. I do not qualify for subsidies, as most working class white males are persona non gratis.
West Virginia do not be fooled by Manchin anymore. Fire him. Send DC a message from a free people.

They’re going back up again.
Rail strike would make the ship container situation look like a mere flat tire. Why? From the Zerohedge article linked previously:
“125,000 freight-rail workers could walk off the job if a deal isn’t reached by Friday’s deadline, with a strike potentially costing the world’s biggest economy more than $2 billion a day. The stoppage would be the largest of its kind since 1992, and it would snarl a wide range of goods transported by rail – from food to metal and auto parts – and threatens travel chaos for thousands of commuters, while sending inflation soaring even more.”
Problems already beginning: “Wednesday afternoon, Amtrak said it will cancel all long distance trains starting Thursday, September 15 “to avoid possible passenger disruptions while enroute”
Once the trains stop, there is no getting them all back up and running quickly. There aren’t even close to enough tractor trailers to move just a small percentage of the freight trains can haul.
This evil administration will do anything to achieve their goals. They are ALL IN on destroying Trump, our conservative movement and the institutions of this country.
Some if not many of the freight trains are now an entire mile long and some are close to two miles! That’s a lot of stuff getting moved around. You are so right that it’s not going to be possible to move it all over the highways by semis. Not possible at all.
It not about Trump, it’s about us voting for him.
The New/ One World Order reset has been planned and mapped out since UN’s Agenda 2021 signed in 1992. This has nothing to do with “Trump.” He merely *exposed* it and drove the ENEmedia nuts in the process.
That ENEmedia frenzy is what brought this to our nation’s attention. I’d been fighting it for ten years prior.
Hellary and crew wanted us to remain “unaware and compliant” as they proceeded with the reset, and usually we are just that. The only things we ever “complain” about are whatever the ENEmedia directs us to complain about.
Tomorrow we’ll all be talking about whatever things the ENEmedia directs our attention to with their red laser dots. Meanwhile the great reset keeps right on going, unimpeded.
Where’s hunter? He’s the smartest guy FJB knows and was on the Amtrak board. I’m sure he can fix this in between puffs on his crack pipe.
C’Mon Man………
That green arrow for August gasoline looked pretty good but now that we are into mid September the gas at the pump depending which station you go to jumped, 20, 30, 34 even 40 cents a gallon. The prices jumped overnight. Some area’s have not yet jumped, but once they get new deliveries to fill their under ground tanks I’m sure their prices will also increase.
My neighbor replaced his heat pump last month. He checked to see when his rebate check would be coming…….SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRY, that gimmick kicks in NEXT year….he is just SOL.
Collapsed economy from the District of Criminality is a mathematical certainty.
Maybe we can vote are why out of this, sure.
Health insurance up 24% is an interesting item. Most of those costs are driven by fixed infrastructure, so there is no reason for the inflation to be higher than the general economy. It’s not just a “price variance”, it’s as much an actuarial “volume variance” from the medical costs to cover the Jab issues. The more sick people there are, the higher the insurance premiums have to be to cover the costs.
In comparison, medical services went up 5.6% and medical supplies 4.1%….. Hmm…
Stroke or no strike, we have transport customers that put rail freight back on trucks two weeks ago. No one wants their intermodal containers tied up in rail yards for weeks or months if the strike happens.
FJB…
The illegitimate puppet regime.
We will soon be forever free of these users, con artists and sex freaks. The Day is rapidly approaching that will purge them out for all eternity.
Every day is one day closer.
The spiritual side of me agrees with you. The secular side keeps coming back to that signature song from the show “Annie”. “Tomorrow….tomorrow….tomorrow….always a day away!”
I want whatever the people creating the charts are smoking. Our food and utilities’ bills have increased much more than what’s being reported.
Does anyone know why food and gasoline aren’t included in the CPI? It seems at least food should.
Sundance had posts about that. Check out his prior articles regarding how food has been strategically omitted from these bellwether statistics.
Will do! Thank you 🙂

I think this is the article you want:

My wife and I are both 76 and we are on social security. I have a very small pension (but decent health insurance) and our health is declining. We have zero credit card debt, the house and car is paid for, and I think there’s a 6 grand balance left on a small loan. I have to work part time to keep our heads above water.
The weekly increases in groceries and household expenses (heat and electric) are starting to make life very difficult. We feel like we’re being bled to death by the gubmint – – one cut at a time. The Golden Years are beginning to suck.
Our eldest (24yrs old) is working as a grocery store cashier. She was a Bernie babe just a few years ago. Saw her yesterday and she was talking about how expensive groceries are getting.
Red pills are popping, folks!
Communism is not working. Such a pity that we let Illegitimate steal the election.
Drain the Strategic Oil Reserves to bring down energy prices before the midterms. Just total BS and the drop in prices is nominal at best. I live in Northern California and I paid $6 /gal for unleaded regular yesterday. Just
what the hell price drop are people talking about?
This generation of Americans have had one too many of Fauci’s booster shots. Gas drops 10¢a gallon and they go ape shit!
Do not underestimate the evil of those mRNA gene edits. When globalists boast that transhumans are going to eat bugs “and like it,” they mean that free will/cerebral cortexes will be genetically altered.
When the Bible warns that people who receive the mark of the beast will live a hell on earth with no hope of salvation, this is why. Their brains will be reprogrammed like a computer, so they are no longer human beings with the capacity to *choose* Jesus Christ as their Savior.
My only consolation is knowing that Dems who drive and have to pay for gas know gas prices are insanely high right now and they get upset every time they have to fill the tank. They can pretend it’s not happening all they want, but they are affected too.
Once winter weather hits the cost of all energy is going to increase exponentially until May or so in the Northern States. I wish I owned a moving company.
My employer, a very large multinational industrial products company, can’t raise prices fast enough – there is little ‘pull-through’ of the higher prices so income is flat to declining. Quotes for cast parts are through the roof, if you can get them. Seems everyone is working harder for less – not sustainable.
The kick in the gonads for the market and economy will show up when earnings reports start coming in well below projections, either in this quarter or certainly in Q4. Supply side costs have been slowing a bit, but they are still like a train at speed running into a very rapid decline in demand. Same issue with inventory (at a higher cost) stacking up like cordwood as buyers stop buying).
Can anyone define treason?
Plotting with foreign enemy combatants to overthrow the USA during a time of war (like the war on terror in Afghanistan) is a treasonous act.
During peacetime it’s called sedition.
“After Biden took over, Democrat activist groups began a push to disqualify Republicans who had participated in the Jan 6 protests from elected office based on the 14th Amendment. Adopted after the Civil War, it’s mostly notable for abolishing slavery. But Section 3 also banned anyone from holding elected office if they have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” or “given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.” Aimed at Confederates, most would have considered this a dead letter, but the Left excels at digging up obscure legal fossils and making use of them.
The criminalization of the Republican Party .. The insurrection lawsuits have targeted members of congress, Senator Ron Johnson and local officials. But by defining anyone who questioned the 2020 presidential election results as an “insurrectionist” or having provided “aid and comfort”, the scope could be vastly larger.
A New York Times article lists “147 Republicans who voted to overturn election results”. Lists like this are proliferating in time for the midterms and they are meant to be actionable. The Section 3 campaign lost in Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Arizona, but it’s still alive.
The wording of the Amnesty Act is quite clear. It states that, “all political disabilities imposed by the third section of the fourteenth article of amendments of the Constitution of the United States are hereby removed from all persons whomsoever”. But an Obama judge argued that “pure common sense” showed that Section 3 still applies. Her ruling would have been dramatically different if conservatives were applying this to Kamala Harris who helped bail out BLM rioters.
But the law matters less than the agenda. Some of these efforts have run into legal roadblocks, but they have also seen some success in using Section 3 to establish a political test for office.
That political test is allegiance to Biden and the Democrat Party.”

I’ve seen industrial level commodity prices on plastics dropping slightly, and are projected to soften further in the next 30 days according to the reports I get.
How can anybody with a brain ever vote for this stuff? This inflation is ten times worse than a tax hike, which is also about to happen, BTW. FJB…
perfect chart Sundance
Weyerhaeuser out on strike!
https://www.oregonlive.com/business/2022/09/weyerhaeuser-timber-workers-in-oregon-washington-strike-over-wages.html
I live in timber country in OR and it’s no panacea. I’ve noticed the logging trucks based in the canyon aren’t firing up at their usual 2-3am clip; some have been sitting all week this week. Others don’t leave until daylight. Very odd. Speak of the devil, one that left at daylight is backing up the drive as I type, all done.
Weyhauser closed a bunch of plants in OR, the containerboard facility at Jordan Cove north of Coos Bay being one large one gone about 20 years ago now for, you guessed it, the company building operations in China and Mexico. One can wander the back roads of Oregon and see all kinds of derelict lumber mills and processing plants. Reminders of when we made America great.
I laughed at the low number of comments. It’s not because the information is not good – it’s perfect. It’s because I think a lot of us are really sick and tired of the Brandon Administration’s outright LYING about everything. I guess Brandon is on some really good drugs to believe everything on his teleprompter.
I decided to rename the Brandon Administration. I’m calling it the Biden Blasphemers. There’s not a stitch of morality at work in that Administration. If there is a brave soul working in that Administration who still actually has a soul, they need to publicly resign, claim whistleblower status, and send out their documented experiences for the whole world to see. Most countries, sorry to disappoint you Commies, are predominantly CHRISTIAN and if not Christian, their religion has very strict moral guidelines. MUSLIMS in particular don’t approve of the kind of people in charge at the White House. I don’t think there’s a country on the planet that puts people of such low character into important positions. But, I digressed. Sorry. Not sorry. We aren’t “leading the way” as a country. We are dragging the entire world into the sewer, where our enemies are going to pick up the bits they want and discard the rest.
sigh… I pray every day for God to save us.
If I didn’t pray every day I would lose my ever lovin mind!
Matthew 18:20 – For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

We have to get rid of as many Democrats as possible in November.
People just need to vote all-GOP on their ballots. It’s really that easy. Get the majorities back, it will help to stop the hemorrhaging and set up for a Trump win in 2024 (if he runs).
I don’t get it. If demand is weakening, how can “service providers” raise prices. Why do you assumes that margins have to be protected. Why shouldn’t inflation reduce margins?
