The Bureau of Labor and Statistics has released the May inflation report [DATA HERE] showing a 1.0% increase in the month of May, bringing the rate of inflation to 8.6 percent. The highest rate of inflation in over 40 years.
This month of inflation data is particularly important because it cycles through the May 2021 calendar comparison from last year when the first wave of massive inflation first triggered. The current year-over-year 8.6% rate of inflation now lands atop twelve months of massive increases in prices.
The data clearly shows how energy costs are the dominant factor hitting every aspect of consumer purchasing. Gasoline increased 4.1% for the month, 48.7% year-over-year. Fuel Oil increased 16.9% in May, 106.7% year over year.
The energy sector is crushing the ability of consumers to spend on anything else. Real wages declined in May 0.6% as paychecks are being eaten up by massive inflation. On an annual basis wages have declined by 4% year-over-year [BLS DATA].
Unfortunately, there is no forward optimism for any change in energy policy from the Joe Biden White House, that means energy costs will continue skyrocketing as the ideologues in control of the administration push their climate change Green New Deal policies.
Additionally, we still have the third wave of massive food price increases to look forward to later in the summer as the big increases in field costs start to reach the supermarket. Those food store increases will average around 20 to 30% more than current.
Table-2 gives you a great breakdown of the price increases in specific sectors within each of the larger categories. [SEE HERE] Eggs increased 5% in May, that’s a 60% annualized rate of inflation for eggs, which are already 32% more than last year. Chicken is exceeding 30% inflation and growing.



A previous senate bill that would have afforded security details to Supreme Court Justices, is now stalled in the House of Representatives as Nancy Pelosi and top Democrat politicians add an additional set of people who should gain the full benefit of taxpayer funded security details.
Twitter’s prior position that they would not permit Musk’s team to see the data stream was in ordinary violation of the terms of purchase. It would seem to be commonsense that Musk has every right to inspect the data and evaluate Twitter’s prior assertions.
Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro wasn’t just throwing shade at the 2020 election outcome for Joe Biden, Bolsonaro seemingly ponders the question about how many western leaders might be the result of WEF manipulated elections. All things considered; it is a valid question.
Mr. Boudin promised when he took office that “the tough-on-crime policies were on their way out.” However, his tenure saw a massive increase in crime and the San Francisco victims took him out.
