The latest PCE inflation report confirmed exactly what I have warned. Inflation was never “transitory,” and the Federal Reserve has completely lost control of the narrative. The Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, core PCE, rose 3.3% annually in April, up from 3.2% in March and well above the Fed’s mythical 2% target. Headline PCE inflation accelerated to 3.8%, the highest level in roughly three years. The government and mainstream economists will immediately try to calm everyone by saying the monthly core increase was “only” 0.2%. They are playing games with statistics because they know the public is scared. The reality is…

President Donald Trump declared Thursday evening, “We ended the war with Iran today,” and touted an emerging agreement that he said would permanently prevent Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Speaking during a virtual tele-rally for Georgia gubernatorial candidate Burt Jones, Trump celebrated what he described as a major diplomatic breakthrough only hours after announcing that he had canceled planned U.S. strikes against Iran because a framework agreement was nearing completion. “I don’t know if you heard, but we ended the war with Iran today, and they have agreed never to have a nuclear weapon,” Trump said. “That was the…
Consumer sentiment rose in early June as lower gas prices and easing inflation led to less dour views of current conditions and the future. The University of Michigan’s preliminary June index of consumer sentiment rose 9.2 percent to 48.9 from 44.8, the first improvement in four months. This was better than expected but still low by historical standards. The improvement came in both the measure of household views of current economic conditions and the outlook. “This month, consumer sentiment ticked up about four index points, or 9 percent, with consumers experiencing some relief due to the early-month easing in gasoline…
On Thursday’s broadcast of “CNN This Morning,” Rep. James Walkinshaw (D-VA) responded to a question on whether the DHS shutdown was worth it since none of the demands Democrats asked for passed by saying that “it’s always worth it to fight to protect the safety of the American people who were being terrorized by their own government, by masked agents surging into communities.

On Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead,” Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA) discussed Iran and said that “the way out of this for Trump, logically, is to come up with one of his sort of framework agreements that doesn’t actually agree to anything.” Smith said, “I don’t think anything has really changed. As you pointed out, Trump has been making this promise for quite some time, sometimes claiming that it actually was done. We’re still stuck in the same basic position. Trump felt that a bombing campaign could basically break the Iranian regime, that either the regime would change or —…
The White House used Ariana Grande’s song Bye in a video showing ICE agents arresting illegal aliens and the left-wing pop star is not happy about it. To say the very least. The Grammy Award-winning singer reacted to a TikTok reel from Monday that depicts border agents placing illegals in handcuffs, with Grande’s 2024 hit Bye as a soundtrack. It is captioned: “Bye-bye… President Trump has delivered the most secure border in history”. Grande’s immediate response was to tell the Trump administration to cease and desist. “Please do not ever use my music in relation to this barbaric, inhumane, heinous nonsense. Fck…
