Amen!

God bless President Donald John Trump!!!

that is product in inventory getting raised now while it wasnt purchased at a higher price

Nah man, your supplier had to buy at a higher price weeks/months ago. Once that lump is through the boa constrictor known as supply chain your costs will fall due to reciprocal tariff deals made with the coffee bean countries producing the coffee beans.

Agree. Prices go up but do not retreat. Energy an exception. Any savings won’t be passed to consumers. Either taxes raised or sellers just increase their profits. I would like to see cheaper prices for my groceries, my meals out, and whatever leisure activities I engage in, but I’m not expecting to see them.

I’m a roaster, my big bags of brazil went from like $3.25/lb to over $5.50 in last couple of years. I haven’t checked in 2 months, I’m sure higher now. Agreed, I’m happy to take pain in short term to get back to a healthy economy.

Im jealous everyone is apparently enjoying lower prices at the pump. Prices have steadily climbed in So Cal.

This is how the left brain works. It looks at a positive and tells you this cannot be true. God gave us that part of our brain so we wouldn’t sit in the path of a hurricane and say everything will be just fine.

I prefer to default to what the Holy Spirit says. That always ends with praise to God the Father.

<I buy green coffee beans and roast them myself…>

Green bean coffee was never my cup of tea 🙂

Rix Six: Within the past month, my local Starbucks in LA increased the price of a small (grande, go figure) Americano from $3.95 (already expensive) to $4.25.

“buy the green coffee beans and buy in larger bulk to get a lower price. I wont have to buy as often”

Don’t you want as fresh as possible?

I grind my own fresh. There are so many good coffee roasters in the Buffalo, NY area that I cannot be bothered with the roasting aspect.

I know that coffee goes from medium to dark/ French roast in seconds, not minutes.

I like light to medium roast, so I would not want to over roast a batch.

I have an abundance of cast iron cookware here 😋

There was a segment on the local CBS affiliate here on rising coffee prices.
The Roaster that was featured said it was due to crop failures & production problems in some of the countries of origin.

PDJT has little or no control over that. It was suggested to start buying from other countries that were not experiencing those issues.

I will see if they have that on the website.

Sundance, Sir! You are, since long ago, over the target!
The enemies of MAGA have become desperate and their last reserves, the sixth-columnists, are getting activated ! He  ”supports President Trump and his/our fight to restore and save our nation(???)”, and he will make the ultimate sacrifice, ”he won’t buy Green Coffee Beans as often and he will be fine with that”!! It is a sacrifice worth posting, so that the world could read that ”Inflation Does NOT Drop to Lowest Level in Four Years 2.4%”, because of a 3 pound bag of Green Coffee Beans, bought at ”a distant somewhere” from ”a company that is small and which does not keep a large inventory on perishables”….
”Se non è vero, è ben trovato !”
Poor President Trump, what else are you going to suffer, because of our idiocy ?

Yes, I have found it puzzling that gas prices at my local station are now higher than they were three weeks ago.

From Bloomberg [March 27, 2025] …..

“….Roasters such as Lavazza, Illy, Nestle and Douwe Egberts maker JDE Peet’s are currently in talks with retailers about passing on costs from a near doubling of arabica coffee prices over the past year, according to eight industry sources.
Raw arabica prices have spiked due to four successive seasons of deficit as adverse weather makes it harder to grow enough of the delicate beans to meet consumer demand….”

Trump is going to drive the federal reserve crazy until they do what he wants. And he wants lower interest rates.

The comical part of this CNN report and FEDS Reaction is that ALL the Financial Whales and Pundits are predicting a recession which always seemed to trigger the FED Lowering rates in the past.

Note the FED actually increased rates towards the end of JoeBama Biden’s regime to give the impression that inflation was going down … which was lie.

The locals can tax what they want. State rate may be 5.25% — the state’s cut — but I’m sure in some cities the rates close to 10%.

State rate 6%, local rate 3% = 9%

State rate 5.25%, local rate 3% = 8.25% — local rate never changes

It shocks me how often voters are given the power to lower their tax bill but vote against it

This lower inflation rate will drive the pundits crazy. They’ll have every reason they can come up with for why a downward trend in starting. Who cares what they spew? The temper tantrum about to begin will be from China, the globalists and the Wall Street crowd. It’s fairly obvious the ridiculous lawfare trash isn’t going to stop PDT. That same globalist crowd released a worldwide bio weapon in 2019 to stop PDT and his agenda. You can bet with him spanking the Panda, there’s some really nasty stuff about to happen.

Well …. to counter your point … those “experts” making the revisions ALWAYS revised the estimates to make those numbers favorable to the regime of Sock Puppet JoeBama Biden … in the WRONG DIRECTION by 30-50%+ (i.e. those favorable numbers were NOT the TRUTH by 30-50%+). This was the case for ALL 12 months of the Biden and the 24 months of the Obama regimes.

If history holds … the numbers discussed by Sundance will be revised to indicate even stronger trends .. in favor of President Trump. Also, those same “experts” seemed to revise those same numbers in a GOOD WAY during President Trump’s first administration.

Rome wasn’t built in a day.

Trite, I know…

But nonetheless apposite.

“C’mon man” as FJB would whine – as in “I’m not lying/joking” …”this govt (never) lie about everything”… “the “experts” are nearly always wrong” … Can you say Biden lied about everything if you want to talk about last 5 and more years? “Revisions always get made and they are never in our favor” you are right except seriously wrong; spinning in the wrong lane. This is one month while during the last 5 years, nuclear war was overshadowed by lies about the economy and then some. While Trump warned nuclear war being a real threat!

What was learned from as recent as December 2024 when Volodymyr Zelensky visited the White House?

SOURCE : racketnew.com

By denouncing Trump and J.D. Vance for abandoning Ukraine, and the impolitic “dressing down” of a friendly foreign leader? The Times and most Western news outlets for years have suggested that anything short of a full-throated expression of support for war was a betrayal of the “democratic world order” that would lead to instant battlefield deaths.

Now that the war appears lost, and newspapers abroad (conspicuously, not here) have been full of news about an apparent bombing of Vladimir Putin’s motorcade, and the future of NATO hangs by a thread; the Times ran a 13,000-word “Secret History” that shows (the same U.S. officials who denounced Trump and American voters) for saying it out loud long ago concluded that THEY, too, should probably “walk away.” Of course they do not think this is by far, worse than the “dressing down” by Trump. This piece, authored by longtime veteran of (controversial) intel pieces, one Adam Entous, was sourced to 300 American and European officials who seemed to be responding to their apparent sidelining via a shameless tantrum, exhibiting behavior that in the field would get military men shot. Not only do they play kiss and tell with a trove of operational secrets, they use the Times to deflect blame from their own failures onto erstwhile Slavic partners, cast as ignorant savages who snatched defeat from the jaws of America-designed victory. It’s as morally abhorrent a piece of ass-covering ever (in print) and that, somehow is not, its worst quality.

The people who quarterbacked the NATO side of the Ukraine war were so pleased with themselves, they could not keep from boasting about things that makes the average American want to pitchfork the lot of them.

We were told repeatedly that if anyone was risking World War III, it was Putin, and moreover that any nuclear risk would not involve Europe or the United States, but Ukraine. Former Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul described nuclear combat as a “low probability event” at the outset of the war, noting Russia had no reason to strike at us, because “they are not under an existential threat. NATO is not going to invade Russia.” A little over a year later, America was “woven into” the killing of Russians on Russian soil.

Worse, according to the Times article (which on many occasions offered dubious assurances that the American military and the CIA banned attacks in Russia), Ukrainians broke a promise by sending troops into the city of Kursk while carrying “coalition-supplied equipment,” a violation of “ops box” rules. Entous added:

The box had been established to prevent a humanitarian disaster in Kharkiv, not so the Ukrainians could take advantage of it to seize Russian soil. “It wasn’t almost blackmail, it was blackmail,” a senior Pentagon official said.

We were supplying weapons to a “partner” who was blackmailing us into a conflict with a very dangerous enemy by using American equipment to invade a region, Kursk, that’s about as far south of Moscow as Columbia, South Carolina is from Washington. (CNN described the surprise attack as a “major success.”)

The U.S. might have “pulled the plug” then, the Times tells us, but were said to be afraid of a humanitarian catastrophe. Meanwhile, while Zelensky and his friends in the West were still preaching victory, in private they’d settled on a more realistic goal: “to capture and hold Russian land that could be traded for Ukrainian land in future negotiations.”

If you’re counting, we were lied to about the risk of World War, the chance of “victory,” the desire for negotiations, the success of last year’s counteroffensive, the solidity of our relationship with Ukraine, and the significance of U.S.-backed incursions into Russia. This was BEFORE Democrats lost the election last November, after which Biden crossed one more line:

Trump won, and the fear came rushing in… In his last, lame-duck weeks, Mr. Biden made a flurry of moves to stay the course, at least for the moment, and shore up his Ukraine project… He crossed his final red line — expanding the ops box to allow ATACMS and British Storm Shadow strikes into Russia — after North Korea sent thousands of troops to help the Russians dislodge the Ukrainians from Kursk… The administration also authorized Wiesbaden and the C.I.A. to support long-range missile and drone strikes into a section of southern Russia used as a staging area for the assault on Pokrovsk, and allowed the military advisers to leave Kyiv for command posts closer to the fighting.

In late November the Biden administration commenced their game of “nuclear chicken,” one that had Duma defense committee chair Andrei Krasov, calling the launching of Western missiles deep into Russia “the last red line.” The lame-duck administration blew off concerns about nuclear brinksmanship, with Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh saying, “We are not at war with Russia,” and “the party here that continues to escalate this war is Russia.” Britain’s Keir Starmer at the G20 conference in Rio shrugged off questions about the use of British Storm Shadow missiles, saying NATO needed to “double down,” not show restraint:

From the outside it certainly appeared that U.S. officials, at a time when their lame-duck president was wandering into foliage in Brazil, were upping the ante in Ukraine as a way of rendering rapprochement impossible before the new government took office. No other explanation made sense. On the other hand, heightening global nuclear risk just to guarantee continuation of a doomed policy seemed impossibly cynical, even for whoever was running the White House by then.

Now we find out from inside sources this was done precisely to prolong the “Ukraine project.” There are a hundred details in this “Secret History” that serve as stark warnings to anyone who thinks protection from Armageddon is secure in the hands of career military and intelligence officials. Not only did we allow ourselves to be “blackmailed” into escalating a conflict with a nuclear power, the management of the “partnership” broke down because of a Heathers-style spat between the key brass twits, Ukrainian general Valery Zaluhniy and Mark Milley. When Milley second-guessed Zaluhniy, the latter would respond with teen-like silence, or by avoiding Milley’s next call. Underscoring: the country to which we were giving hundreds of billions in aid didn’t feel a need to pick up the phone. Entous describes the general lack of communication via a moment of levity: “Biden administration officials would joke bitterly that they knew more about what the Russians were planning by spying on them than about what their Ukrainian partners were planning.”

Get this! (THE solution) to the Miller-Zaluhniy feud, no joke, involved a blimp maker:

To keep them talking, the Pentagon initiated an elaborate telephone tree: A Milley aide would call Maj. Gen. David S. Baldwin, commander of the California National Guard, who would ring a wealthy Los Angeles blimp maker named Igor Pasternak, who had grown up in Lviv with Oleksii Reznikov, then Ukraine’s defense minister. Mr. Reznikov would track down General Zaluzhny and tell him, according to General Baldwin, “I know you’re mad at Milley, but you have to call him.”

Who? Aerocraft CEO Igor Pasternak – Submarine of the sky
The storied Wiesbaden partnership devolving into a game of telephone refereed by a blimp-maker might be the thirtieth- or fortieth-most horrifying detail in the story. There are too many to count.

The standard position of “liberal internationalists” like McFaul is that a United States that does not project its power and engage abroad is inviting mischief and aggression by hostile actors. In other words, not stepping in to oppose Putin militarily in Ukraine would make nuclear war more likely, not less. This could make sense, if officials entrusted with “democracy promotion” weren’t always dangerous imbeciles. McFaul for instance was the point man for dealing with Moscow, and couldn’t order a beer there without a translator. They think Nguy?n Van Thi?u is the same as Hamad Karzai is the same as Volodymyr Zelensky; and it never penetrates their thick skulls except by accident, that every culture is different and unpredictable, as Lloyd Austin somehow only found out years into the war. Austin, in his “surprise visit” noticed “out the window of his armored S.U.V. snaking through the Kyiv streets” that the country had a lot of “men in their 20s, almost none of them in uniform.”

Austin managed a thought: In a nation at war, “men this age are usually away, in the fight.” When Austin pressed Zelensky to lower the draft age to 18, Zelensky reportedly snapped in return: “Why would I draft more people? We don’t have any equipment to give them.” To another “official,” the light flickered on, realizing this was “not an existential war if they won’t make their people fight.”

While the Times piece does little to clear up whose fault the military and diplomatic failure was (there were numerous passages of the “mistakes were made” variety), it’s clear we were lied to about everything. Zelensky and his set will no doubt tell their side now, and it’s possible Ukraine’s freelanced heightening of risk to Americans will come out seeming less treacherous. Either way, it’s clear the Biden administration should have cut the cord years ago, to prevent Americans from being dragged into World War by “partners” with every incentive to pull them in. Instead, the administration berated its critics as treasonous cowards who’d have let Hitler swim to London.

Everyone involved in this caper should go to jail, forever, beginning with whatever person or persons deployed the autopen to bomb Russia to “shore up” the Ukraine project of Biden’s corpse. These people make Westmoreland and Clark Clifford seem like Einstein and Bohr.

In another section, a “U.S. official” explained how NATO got around the seemingly very dangerous optics of providing Ukraine with lists of “targets”:

Given the delicacy of the mission, was it unduly provocative to call targets “targets”? Some officers thought “targets” was appropriate… The debate was settled by Maj. Gen. Timothy D. Brown, European Command’s intelligence chief: The locations of Russian forces would be “points of interest.” Intelligence on airborne threats would be “tracks of interest.” “If you ever get asked the question, ‘Did you pass a target to the Ukrainians?’ you can legitimately not be lying when you say, ‘No, I did not,’” one U.S. official explained.

CATCH-22 – inconceivable that anyone would think this was an actual intelligence solution!

Apparently those people did think like this with their officials using a similar semantic workaround when giving Ukrainians locations of human targets. As another “senior U.S. official” put it, “Imagine how that would be for us if we knew that the Russians helped some other country assassinate our chairman… Like, we’d go to war.

How real and in what way was the last 5, nvm 8 years? C'(m)on narrative will you share the blame, man?

THIS, is one month vs the last 5 years .. you are talking about?

Spin – “The official position of the White House throughout the Biden administration was that “NATO is not involved” in the war in Ukraine, as White House spokesperson Jen Psaki stated in 2022. “It is not a proxy war,” Psaki said, “This is a war between Russia and Ukraine.” Those who claimed the contrary were, in the words of the White House, “repeating Kremlin talking points.””

.. the last 5 years – nuclear war overshadowed by lies about economy.

I heard there have been quite a few companies leaving Cali.
I would guess that the powers are trying to recoup the loss of revenue by taking more gas dollars?

They have to take care of those productive immigrants some how!

They exist only to bitch, whine, and tell Sundance he’s wrong. Even when we can see with eyes Sundance is right.

People have been suffering for so long and want immediate relief. It is like the prolonged wait before Christmas.

Egg prices and fuel prices contribute to the prices of a lot of things. I can see dramatically lower egg prices bringing down prices on a lot of produced food.

$3/gal is a fantasy for gas in behind the crumbling wall of California.

Some of us choose to stay due to older family members that are not able to leave.

If WE keep running away, at some point there will be no place left to run.

If all those who fled NYS, to Florida had stayed, Lee Zeldin would have been Govenor of NYS, and the Congress would be more R.

And, from what I hear, DeSantis’s free State of Florida, ..ain’t.

Not much will work at this point. The media has lost ALL credibility even with the left. Actively employed IC swamp is being REMOVED.

If “Signal-gate” happened in Trump’s first term, a LOT of people would have been Flynn’d and probably would have destroyed Trump’s presidency early on. But today? Signal-gate didn’t last the week! Gone and forgotten!

Everything in the political climate has changed. It’s actually a little hard to imagine what they could do which would serve as Plandemic #2. As I said in a previous story comment, I think DEI within the intel community was probably a major contributing factor in their repeated failure to take Trump out! I just don’t think they have it in them any longer and they certainly have less money and less influence to make things happen. I imagine if there was any remaining intelligence in the IC now, they’d be looking to change their names and retire with the millions they already have squirreled away. That’s what I would be doing right about now… or earlier.

The way rules regarding 401K management and similar saving instruments are written potentially creates ready made hostages to exploit.

It depends on what bundled products are offered to the 401K or any similar savings instrument owner.

When big drops like this loomed in the past .. the 401K I held and 503B for my wife had 100% Cash positions that could be elected ahead of the volatility. Granted, at the time those cash positions were <2% ROI but I lost NO Principle. It has been a while so i am not familiar with the structure of these saving instruments, today.

There used to be ways to at least protect the principle in your accounts. Of course that requires one to pay attention, which is sadly not often the case with many folks.

Remember when the genius thought of cash for clunkers. What a mind, so happy he is irrelevant, no oomph to his community organizing with Act Blue.

Let me guess, you are a Democrat? never-Trumper? From California or Massachusetts? Or just negative?

Would you expect anything different?

I was laughing here earlier seeing people celebrate “the spike” yesterday – from the sell-off his policies caused.

very smart comment. ty for that perspective

Deflation is anathema to a system designed and built by a minority who actively benefit from the said inflation.

The question to ask is who has first access to the newly created money.

There’s much to be researched with economic theory. A good place to start is with the Cantillion Effect.
