The Daily Caller has a good, brief overview of how much prices have increased since the last election. They do not include the massive inflation of the money supply caused by Mr. Trump (and Congress and the Senate) pushing and passing the immensely unconstitutional and easily gamed "CARES Act", but this certainly refutes Mr. Biden and co's claim that they "got inflation under control" and have "rescued" the economy... LINK!
Runaway inflation means the price of everyday goods will be much higher when Americans return to the ballot box to select the next president this November.

Why do politicians engage in these "look folksy" stunts? This is almost as bad as when John Kerry was running and he walked into a state office (with lots of cameras there to help his dumb PR spin that he was goin' a-huntin) and he said, "Can I get me a... Huntin' license, here?" LINK!
24-Year Military Veteran And Self-Described ‘Gun Guy’ Tim Walz Struggles To Wrangle His Own Firearm
Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) appeared to have trouble managing his own personal firearm when he went pheasant hunting on opening day in his home state of Minnesota on Saturday, participating in the 12th annual Governor’s Pheasant Hunting Opener. Walz, who is vying for the vice presidency alongside current Vice President Kamala Harris, brought along staffers ...

This is a slap in the face of the Hochulistas, and it appears to stop enforcement of their "Sensitive Places" ban on concealed carry of firearms. Most of the articles I'm reading on this focus on the state's prohibition against private people engaging in concealed carry when they walk into private property that is "open to the public", such as a store. But this bill (the article below makes a passing reference to the "state-owned-property" prohibition against concealed carry also included in the bill) also prohibits people from concealed carry on tax-funded, public lands like parks. Now, with the federal court ruling, the Hochul-adored block of concealed carry is blocked from enforcement. LINK!
NO IMAGE ON THIS ONE - SORRY!! SO, LET’S PUT IN THIS!
A federal judge Thursday ruled unconstitutional a 2022 New York law that prohibits licensed gun owners from carrying a concealed firearm on private property open to the public unless the property owner expressly allows it.
www.newsmax.com
Here is a good source, the Firearms Policy Coalition. And here is a good quote that focuses on the private property portion of the bill...
"Just yesterday, New York Governor Kathy Hochul said that, after the Supreme Court’s Bruen decision, the State 'doubled down' on its anti-rights agenda. In a statement yesterday, she said that '[the State] came up with legislation. And we have a prohibition on concealed carry weapons in sensitive places. I personally think every place is sensitive[.]' However, today’s decision again shows that Governor Hochul couldn’t be more wrong.
'Regulation in this area is permissible only if the government demonstrates that the new enactment is consistent with the Nation's historical tradition of sufficiently analogous regulations. New York fails that test here,' the Court said in its opinion today. 'Indeed, property owners have the right to exclude. But the state may not unilaterally exercise that right and, thereby, interfere with the long-established Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens who seek to carry for self-defense on private property open to the public.'”
AND, here is the text of the bill, with the pertinent portion found on page 8, line 40. Of course, the Judge's ruling mentions the second level of the so-called "Bruen Standard" that tasks gun-grabbers to cite some "historical analogue" to their contemporary attack on the right to keep and bear arms, and that "Second Tier" of the "Bruen Standard" overtly conflicts with the explicit prohibition against ANY infringement, the prohibition written in the actual SECOND AMENDMENT. But... The ruling does provide injunctive relief against the state.

Journalist Michael Tracey notes what I experienced years ago at the "debate" that ABC put on in NH between Senator Bradley and Al Gore when they were running for the vaunted Dem Presidential nominee slot. The people allowed to ask questions at the Ted Koppel-hosted event were pre-selected and given seats around the mic. I actually was TOLD this when I innocently approached a mic to ask a question at the event in Nashua. SO, now we see this... LINK!
Last night’s Univision “town hall” with Kamala Harris was billed as an exciting opportunity for “undecided Latino voters” to question and evaluate the potential next President of the United States.

Here's more, via Glenn Greenwald, chatting with Michael Tracey about his research and experience at the event.
Could that help explain why this audience member was able to perfectly, in-sync, recite Harris' line about Trump filing for bankruptcy six times? Perhaps the audience member simply had the knowledge and the timing was uncanny... Curious, that's fo-sho. LINK!

This is a bad and unconstitutional idea. It starts with a Zerohedge link, but they link to the Israeli news source. The US decision puts US boots on the ground in an undeniable, overt way, and puts them at risk of being fodder, because the Iranian rocket attack two weeks ago already revealed that the Iron Dome cannot stop most of the Iranian missiles. Here's the first portion to see, with the internal link to the Israeli source. LINKO!

Ahh, yes. It's a nearly perennial political ploy. A big storm prompts an increased regional need for numerous products and services, thus driving up prices, aaaand then the politicians adopt the bogus armor of "paladins" to excoriate so-called "gougers." Thus, we see this press release.
Let us all be clear: Americans impacted by a crisis should never be ripped off.I have seen firsthand the devastating impact of price gouging during an
www.whitehouse.gov
And we see THIS, from Biden.
And, as that above X User notes, Florida already has a statute that prohibits "gouging." — It's a statute that arbitrarily places the government in the middle of the supply and demand system that NEEDS to see prices rise according to what the sellers are willing to offer and what the buyers are willing to pay. I isolated the segment from my streaming show that digs into how some conservatives even buy into the canard that when something is in high demand and low supply, politicians can depict the resultant price increases as "exorbitant" or "unacceptable" or "unconscionable" (the term actually noted in the FLA statute) but those determinations are for the market participants to decide. The immoral intervention of politicians who aren't participating in the transactions is clear, and the practical outcomes of this open-ended, arbitrary imposition of political preferences over private choice leads to scarcity, to early buyers hording, and, eventually, to a black market that actually sees HIGHER prices than before! Here is the statute. And here is my show segment, including a piece I actually wrote more than 20 YEARS AGO about then-FLA "Atty Gen" Charlie Crist slamming "price gouging" after Hurricane Charlie. The piece I read is in my book, of course, and it's like I could just replace the names to try to stress this repeating problem among the self-important class in both parties. LINK to the segment!

People in storm zones NEED the price system to function, because it incentivizes people to move products and services to fill the need. Without the price system showing the bigger profit to be garnered by entering the needed field, potential suppliers won't do so. People who work in other fields won't be incentivized to switch into the needed field. Shortages will be the result. Here's a piece I wrote for E3NE about the historical power of the price system and the development of kerosine that allowed the whales to survive as they were nearly hunted to exctinction.
In the early 1980s, a businessman turned economics reporter named Warren T. Brookes published “The Economy in Mind”, a work of discernment the title of which employed a wonderful double meaning. Mr. Brookes was entreating the reader to keep economics in mind, and he was hinting that economics is driven by the application of human minds to fulfill individual needs [...]

Whoops! Hypocrisy, perhaps?
Sen. Jacky Rosen (D., Nev.) pulls no punches when speaking publicly about the 2017 Trump tax cuts, calling the package a "monstrosity" that is "just a giveaway" to the wealthy while urging Congress to focus its efforts on making the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes. But behind the scenes, Rosen, who is running […]

Vice President Kamala Harris's billion-dollar Clean School Bus program provided funding to Chinese EV manufacturer BYD Company's subsidiary in the United States, according to federal filings reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon. Months later, the subsidiary's top executive, a Chinese national, wired $50,000 in support of what is now Harris's presidential campaign.

HEY! Here's an idea... ELIMINATE FEMA.
What happens when FEMA buys your house?
As hurricane damage mounts, the government is buying—and sometimes seizing—homes in flood-prone areas, sparking concerns over property rights and accusations of discrimination.
reason.com
Here's a pertinent quote:
"Such buyouts are hardly ideal and can lead to some perverse situations. In 2021, an NPR investigation revealed that HUD was selling homes in flood-prone areas to unsuspecting buyers even as it was buying out homes in the same neighborhoods under a flood mitigation program. While not ideal, in a world where government disaster relief is a given, a voluntary buyout program could make fiscal sense in some circumstances. Voluntary buyout programs have been implemented in over a thousand counties and have been used to relocate almost 50,000 households throughout the country. "

In Northern Ireland, the government is poised to pass a bill allowing the government (how wonderfully circular!) to mandate vaccines on the population. Saturday saw a massive protest over it, in Belfast.
Hundreds gather in Belfast to protest against new Public Health Bill

And, as can be seen in this article released prior to the protest, some folks (including the authors) try to hide the fact that the government can arbitrarily claim the power to mandate jabs (they already mandate payment to develop or buy them, with the added insult that many of them rely on aborted fetal cell lines for their development). The authors claim that the BILL wouldn't mandate jabs. DUH. It's designed to open the door to allowing any future govt to MANDATE THEM AT WILL. LINK!

Years ago, when Trump merely voiced his frustration over people like Jim Acosta being so incredibly unfair and biased — frustration packaged in his rhetoric of saying the pop media were the "enemy of America" — leftists inappropriately blew it up to claim he wanted to crush free speech. The leftists never noted the wholesale attack on speech via threats and payment to social media and fascist orgs like NewsGuard (and the attempts to use the Espionage Act more often than all Presidents prior to them COMBINED) with which Obama and Biden engaged, and they didn't notice that Trump was simply airing a grievance. But NOW? Now Trump actually gives them the ammunition they need to call him CENSORIOUS! SO DUMB.

Meanwhile, in England. More anti-auto insanity. Sure, one has to recognize that this is a case of the Tragedy of the Commons, so bicyclists also have voices and are having their tax cash stolen for the mis-run roads, but the larger agenda — to strange auto movement and access — seems pretty clear.

First, this news about our friend Toby Leary and his work to fight Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey and her new gun-grab statute, a statute that also would put most gun shops out of business. Toby gathered far more than the needed signatures to get a referendum on the next ballot in order to rescind the statute, but, get this, Healey moved ahead to claim the power to ENFORCE the statute before the date on the original bill states it can be enforced, in order to circumvent the petition drive! Just amazing. Here is Liberty Doll on it.
Look at how Healey responded to Toby’s efforts… just amazing.
