The same people who told us to appreciate saving $0.16 on our July 4th BBQs last summer are now taking the official position there is no massive food inflation.  [DATA HERE]

Those skyrocketing prices you think you see at the grocery store are not real.  Those announcements of forecasted price increases by the food producers, well, those are not real either.  So sayeth the United States Dept of Agriculture (USDA).

In their update to the USDA pricing forecast and analysis dated January 25, 2022, the USDA claims: “2021 retail food price inflation continued at same pace as 2020 but varied among food categories.”  Oh, but it gets even more stupid:

“USDA, Economic Research Service (ERS) researchers project that prices for food-at-home, or food purchased typically from grocery stores or other food stores, will increase between 1.5 and 2.5 percent in 2022, lower than the 3.5-percent increase that occurred in both 2020 and 2021. Forecasts for all food categories for 2022 are available in ERS’s monthly Food Price Outlook data product, updated January 25, 2022.” (link)

If there was ever an argument that every single institution in the U.S. government was corrupt, manipulative and ideologically bent, this claim by the USDA would be a case study in the supportive evidence.

Apparently, if you are to follow the outlook of the USDA – and reconcile their institutional hypocrisy, Joe Biden increased the rate of food stamp assistance by 25 percent for some unknown reason.  Because according to the Dept of Agriculture, “Retail food prices increased by a mere 3.5 percent in 2021, equal to the rate in 2020.”

3.5% ?

You just cannot make this up.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was asked today about the 50,000+ truckers and millions of supporters of the “Freedom Convoy” that is headed to Ottawa to protest the heavy-handed government COVID approach.

In true totalitarian fashion, the pontificating pustule of pompous promotion claimed the people protesting his position are a “fringe minority” of the Canadian people, holding “unacceptable views” against his regime.  WATCH (Prompted):

.

This guy is almost as bad as Jacinda Ardern of New Zealand.  How a majority of Canadian people could possibly support this arrogant and condescending weasel simply shows just how pathetic the political opposition in Canada really is.

Put a solid, strong and articulate conservative up against these creeps and things might change.  However, that person needs to be able to look the uber-leftist media in the eye, speak with plain commonsense, and call them on their bulls**t.

A massive convoy of truckers is headed toward Ottawa, Canada, to protest the vaccination regulations of the Trudeau administration against Truckers and all Canadian citizens. The scale of the Freedom Convoy has now garnered the attention of the ruling class, and it looks like a predictable conflict is looming.

Supporters of the trucker protest have raised over $1.8 million using a GoFundMe Effort to cover the expenses, fuel and lost income of the drivers.  However, do not be surprised if the Canadian government does not use law enforcement to try and stop their arrival.  The regime will not want to face pressure of the scale that is being assembled through a grass-roots movement.

Recent video shows how many truckers have joined the convoy that now stretches for miles.  WATCH:

There are concerns within the industry that political ramifications might reflect badly.  The Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA), a seemingly leftist organization within the trucking industry, is now taking a position against the convoy’s intent to confront the government.

The CTA is trying to get the truckers to abandon their effort and released a public statement telling them the vaccine mandate is permanent, irreversible and the Trudeau government will not cede an inch, so stop and go home.

History may not always repeat, but it rhymes.   As seen in just about every situation where socialism and government intervention in the market economy of any nation is triggered, eventually you get to the point where government solutions to their created crisis take center stage.

We have seen this exact scenario repeated in the former Soviet Union, Poland, Europe, Cuba and more recently Venezuela.  The triggers are the same, and the outcomes are identical. Now, as unbelievable as it may seem, Joe Biden’s socialist policies have triggered the discussion in the United States.

CTH warned this was going to become a narrative; and we saw the first signs of it at the White House podium on January 12th.

WASHINGTON – People are paying a lot more for food, gas, cars and services, and inflation isn’t over yet as the pandemic continues to distort the economy. So, should governments consider setting the price of essential goods?

It’s been done before, typically during times of crisis, but for most mainstream economists, the answer to this question is a resounding “no.” Limiting how much companies can charge will distort markets, they argue, causing shortages and exacerbating supply chain problems while only temporarily reducing inflation.

There has been a great deal of discussion and debate about the Democrat party having evolved into a full-blown communist apparatus.  However, a Rasmussen poll released today [DATA HERE] puts the debate to rest with empirical data.

Democrats are FACTUALLY the party of totalitarian communists.   Consider:

♦ Forty-five percent (45%) of Democrats favor the government forcing unvaccinated people into federal quarantine camps if they refuse the COVID-19 vaccine.

♦ Nearly half (48%) of Democrat voters think federal and state governments should be able to fine or imprison individuals who publicly question the efficacy of the existing COVID-19 vaccines on social media, television, radio, or in online or digital publications.

♦ 47% of Democrats favor a government tracking system, ankle monitors or locked collars, for those who won’t get the COVID-19 vaccine.

♦ Twenty-nine percent (29%) of Democratic voters support forcibly removing children from the custody of unvaccinated parents.

♦ 55% of Democratic voters support fines and financial punishment for the unvaccinated.

♦ Fifty-nine percent (59%) of Democrats favor government requiring unvaccinated citizens to remain confined to their homes. (read poll here)

White House occupant Joe Biden attempted to pressure Senate Democrats to eliminate the filibuster in order to get the federal takeover of elections bill passed.  He was rejected.

Following the closed caucus meeting, Joe Biden went to the microphone and began yelling at the American people for not conforming to his dictates.  Joe Biden is an angry, unlikable and unstable man of intemperate disposition.  WATCH:

We have discussed this guy before. [HERE and HERE and HERE]. Northern Territory Chief Minister Michael Gunner is a fast-talking little man of notoriously intemperate disposition who will not allow any criticism of his totalitarian tendencies.  Gunner has promised to be as brutal as needed to stop COVID spread in the region. He will accept no vocal dissent to his mandates from citizens in the state.  All vaccine hesitant citizens are considered enemies of the state, and now subject to arrest if they voice any objection.

Today, Gunner announced that due to Omicron, he is taking the concept of lockdowns one step further.  Effectively 1pm today, anyone who is not vaccinated is, by decree, designated as locked out of civil society in the region.  Without notice, and effective almost immediately, the unvaccinated citizens in the Northern Territory are to remain confined in their homes and are not permitted to work.

At 1pm on Monday the lockout will be lifted; however, a mandatory vaccine passport process will be fully implemented in the territory, and the unvaccinated will continue to be locked out of all non-essential, businesses, operations and services in society.  WATCH (prompted):

This is the guy who put the quarantine containment camps into place, and said the people in them were volunteering to be detained.  A few days later three aboriginal men, all of whom tested negative for the virus, climbed the fence and escaped the “detainment facility.” {REMINDER HERE}.  The military and police were then activated to conduct a manhunt, closed the roads, set up checkpoints where vehicles were searched and used helicopters with trained personnel to hunt the escapees.  That’s the reference for how this guy rolls.

Madness.

It is not coincidental that Chicago becomes the place where the insufferable communist activist teachers become most visible in their attacks against parents and students.  In the method of using the sector of education as a weapon, the Marxists in Chicago are the epicenter of communist ideology.

Chicago is Saul Alinsky, Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, and of course, Barack Obama.  The teacher’s union in Chicago is a fully communist education movement, with an entrenched belief that all children belong to the grand communal outlook they represent.

So, it does not come as a surprise to see the Chicago Teachers Union tell the city officials ‘they are in charge‘ and they will dictate COVID policy.

CHICAGO – Classes were canceled Wednesday in Chicago, the country’s third-largest school district, as union leaders and city officials failed to reach an agreement over how to operate schools safely amid the surge in coronavirus cases – an impasse cemented with a late-night vote from Chicago Teachers Union that could lock students out of in-person learning until mid-January.

“Right now, going into school puts us at risk, puts our students and families at risk,” union President Jesse Sharkey said in a press conference Wednesday morning. “That’s the simple truth of the matter. This is a virus that’s raging through the city.”
