The inflation expectations of businesses continued to climb in May, adding to concerns that the recent energy shock-driven rise could prove more pervasive and persistent than hoped. The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta’s monthly survey of businesses in the American southeast found that costs are expected to climb 2.4 percent over the next twelve months, up from 2.3 percent last month. This is the third consecutive monthly increase since expectations fell to just under two percent in February, the lowest since December 2020. Inflation expectations remain far below their December 2022 peak of 3.8 percent but are now once again…
President Donald Trump dismissed the establishment claims that MAGA is divided, asserting that it is actually “the strongest it’s ever been” and has “never been more together.” When asked by Breitbart News’s Nick Gilbertson why the establishment media is so desperately attempting to paint the false picture that MAGA is divided, the commander-in-chief said the movement is strong and provided a few examples: “I think it’s the strongest it’s ever been. You know, you take a look at what happened in Louisiana two nights ago, and a certain senator that was very disloyal to me and to the Republican Party, and…
Speaker Mike Johnson refused to rule out whether individuals convicted as part of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol would be eligible to receive money from the Trump administration’s new “Anti-Weaponization Fund” — or say whether he would oppose a scenario where they would qualify. “We don’t know any of the details of that settlement fund,” Johnson told reporters at a news conference Wednesday morning, pointing to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s testimony before the Senate. “He said they are setting up a fund to compensate all Americans who have been the subject, the target, of lawfare or…
On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” Fox News Senior Strategic Analyst Gen. Jack Keane (Ret.) said that with Iran, “We’re six weeks in to what was supposed to be a two-week deadline to get a deal. And it just seems to be kicking down the road, time and time again.” Keane said, “The president’s not going to make a bad deal. He’s the nation’s backstop here, for sure. But what’s been going on here? We’re six weeks in to what was supposed to be a two-week deadline to get a deal. And it just seems to be…
Monday on MS NOW’s “The Rachel Maddow Show,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) made the outrageous claim that President Donald Trump was attempting to fund a “private militia” with the $1.8 billion the so-called anti-weaponization fund. Maddow asked, “Is there anything else like this in U.S. history?” Raskin said, “Nothing like it. It’s thoroughly illegal and unconstitutional. Of course, Congress never voted to set up a $1.776 billion political slush fund for the president, and we never would pass such a thing. So it’s a complete violation of Congressional appropriations powers. Moreover, even if Congress wanted to do such a thing, which we…
Senate Republicans took the last step Wednesday to tee up their $72 billion party-line immigration enforcement bill for floor action. Following the 11-10 vote in the Senate Budget Committee, GOP leaders plan to begin debate on the measure either later Wednesday or Thursday. Since lawmakers are scheduled to leave town for a weeklong Memorial Day recess, Republicans need to clear the bill through both chambers by week’s end if they are going to meet the June 1 deadline President Donald Trump set for clearing the legislation. The Budget Committee approved only one of two pieces of the package, since Senate…

American-led innovation has built a digitally connected world that’s created enormous benefits for American families and businesses. For most American families, access to people and products from anywhere in the world comes as easily as reaching for the phone in our pocket. Now, imagine if tomorrow that access we’ve become familiar and comfortable with became our biggest threat. Think of a world in which the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) were able to launch a cyber-attack and target your power and water, block your bank accounts, or turn off your internet. That’s the reality America faces today and why we are…
Former Westminster insider turned Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham appears set on portraying himself as a man-of-the-people economic populist fighting for working-class interests against the legacy of Margaret Thatcher in the upcoming special election, which may determine the political landscape in Britain for years to come. Burnham, a Cambridge University graduate and veteran of both the Tony Blair and Gordon Brown governments, has spent the past decade crafting his image as the so-called “King in the North” and distancing himself from the political establishment in London, despite having operated in its swamps for much of his career. Now, with the whiff…
Tuesday on ABC’s “The View,” co-host Joy Behar said President Donald Trump’s government was a “cesspool with no bottom.” Co-host Whoopi Goldberg said, “I don’t know how you can justify this or why we have to pay for this. I don’t get this. I don’t understand that. You know what I mean? They want a lot. They want us to pay for the for the ballroom, they want us to pay for the giant arch, they want us to pay for the refurbishing of the reflecting pool. Why is this coming out of all of us? And where the hell…
