Key inflation gauge rises 3.6% from a year ago to tie biggest jump since the early 1990s

• • An inflation measure the Federal Reserve uses to set policy rose 3.6% in July from a year ago, meeting Wall Street expectations but also tying the highest level in about 30 years.
  • The core personal consumption expenditures price index was unchanged from June, which was revised up one-tenth of a percentage point, the Commerce Department reported Friday

US rent hikes will explode consumer inflation in 2022

“…How come the shelter component of the US Consumer Price Index is rising at just 2% a year while all the private-sector gauges of rent inflation show rent hikes of close to 10%?

Shown in the Chart of the Day is a comparison of the Zillow Rent Index with the Consumer Price Index rent component. Shelter is two-fifths of the total index, so the question of whether inflation is “transitory” or not depends on rents.

This question has a simple answer: It takes the Bureau of Labor Statistics about a year to catch up with rent inflation. What the government reported as rent inflation in July reflects the economy of a year ago and more.

That’s because renters’ leases take a year or two to expire. The Zillow, Apartmentlist.com and CoreLogic reports reflect the average rent on a new lease, not the rent on leases signed in the past. As old leases expire and renters have to pay the higher market rate, rent inflation will surge.

The Fed can continue its Groucho Marx impression (“Who are you going to believe –me, or your own eyes?”) only until the inflation now in the pipeline shows up in the official numbers. Perhaps America’s monetary officials will find themselves at Dulles Airport this time next year surrounded by murderous mobs of renters waiting for rescue flights to Davos.

But the blame for all this will land on the desk of beleaguered President Biden, who has to answer to Americans who have seen their real incomes eroded by inflation during every one of the past twelve months…”

MICHAEL BYRD IS A HERO FOR KILLING ASHLI BABBITT, HAVE YOU NOT HEARD HIM SAY?

Liberal media celebrate the killing of Ashli Babbitt and make her killer a hero. The races are correct. The motive for the killing supports a Democrat narrative. It all works.

Michael Bird is a hero and he is the real victim.

The U.S. media is a disgusting joke.

Democrat. Unbelievable.

Who is responsible if the mother gets ill from the vaccine and dies?

Apparently the judge, James A. Shapiro, also has a medical license and dispenses medical advice to people who are not his patients. The people are coerced to accept the medical advice of the judge under threat of losing rights to one’s children.

Perverse. Sick.

Only a Democrat could think something like this is appropriate.

‘Complete chaos’: How a Republican would govern Democratic California

“…What would happen if a conservative Republican became governor of deep blue California?

For the Republicans vying to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom, winning September’s recall race could prove easier than governing a state that’s become the cornerstone of America’s liberal agenda.

Any Republican who succeeds Newsom would be parachuting into hostile political territory. Democrats command two-thirds majorities in the state Legislature that allow them to override vetoes without a single Republican vote. The state’s biggest cities are run by Democrats. And all would be aiming to drive the new governor out of office in next year’s general election.

But a Republican executive could fight back through unilateral action, uprooting the state’s vast government bureaucracy, freezing spending and issuing sweeping edicts with a swipe of the pen.

Expect a year of political bedlam.

“It would be complete chaos, and government would come to a virtual standstill,” said Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg, a former state Senate leader who headed the Democratic caucus during Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s tenure…”

Yes, I know the percentages are wrong. They still show the point.

Other important meetings apparently more important than explaining to Americans about 12 dead marines and the unfolding disaster in Afghanistan.

CNN Op-Ed: You Don’t Have a Constitutional Right to Refuse COVID Vaccine

Our media is an un-American disgrace. Focused on authoritarian minutia in a time of crisis. Many recent studies have shown significant issues with the Covid vaccines. Issues that the government and media are determined to hide or misrepresent to the public, in a mad rush to get everyone vaccinated. It is the weirdest thing I have ever seen.

The Right To Feel Safe Doesn’t Exist

 

Resign

Kurt Schlichter:

“…Rip those stars off your pathetic nostalgia costumes and resign. Quit. Tell that crusty Pinocchio in the White House and the faculty lounge Geppettos tugging his strings that you will have no more to do with his human centipede of failure in Kabul.

It’s not hard – your stars are right there, generals, right on the shoulders of those new uniforms you decided to adopt with the express purpose of evoking World War II and the memory of victory over a modern, peer-competitor military. Maybe, you thought, wearing winner’s gear would ease the pain of getting creamed by a bunch of Seventh Century throwbacks.

Yeah, we know your boss is a senile old fool with delusions of competence. His failure will be addressed at the ballot box. But your failure, generals and admirals, is something only you can address, at least until President DeSantis comes and separates the wheat from the chaff in the Pentagon.

Yeah, we know, you have to follow the orders of the civilian authorities – though not if it’s Trump, since he was not part of the in-crowd you aspired to join as adjunct military members. Your passive-aggressive mutiny against the guy the American people elected set back civil-military relations 250 years. You took the one institution most Americans still trusted and turned it into a roiling cauldron of hot garbage. And don’t try to hide behind “You gotta support the troops.” We do. But you suck, and we know you suck, and you know you suck…”

It’s Dawning on the Democrats: Biden-Harris Will Drag Them Down

“…We hear an enormous amount these days about the problem of “Flight 93-ism” on the American right, but a great deal less about the concomitant panic that has led the Democratic Party to behave as if last year’s election represented its last gasp. Since Joe Biden took office in January, his party has been busy cramming everything it has ever wanted to do into a series of multi-trillion-dollar, must-pass bills; hawking a patently unconstitutional elections-supervision bill that would hand it full control of America’s democratic infrastructure; and engaging in a frenzied attempt to pack the Supreme Court, discredit the Senate, abolish the filibuster, and add new states to the union by simple majority vote. If you ask for an explanation of this preposterous behavior, you will be told that it is the product of the Republican Party’s dastardly scheme to implement Jim Eagle. If you look more closely, however, you’ll sense something else: fear — that, in a desperate attempt to remove President Trump from office, the Democrats tailored themselves a straitjacket from which they will struggle mightily to escape.

This fear is well-founded. Joe Biden is an aging, incompetent mediocrity whose main claim to fame, like the Delta Tau Chi fraternity from Animal House, is his long tradition of existence. Kamala Harris, his vice president, is a widely disliked authoritarian whose last run for the White House was stymied by her inability to garner support from more than 3 percent of the Democratic-primary electorate. If, prior to the disaster that was the last fortnight, the Democrats hadn’t sensed that they’d tied their party to a pair of losers, they sure as hell must have now…”

“…As at least 12 Americans were killed in a series of jihad suicide bombings in Kabul on Thursday, Nancy Pelosi (D-Smirnoff) kept her focus on what’s really important: Women’s Equality Day. Spectacularly out of touch, Pelosi fired off a series of tweets honoring women who fought for women’s rights, all while completely ignoring those who fought for freedom in Afghanistan. Hours after the Kabul bombings, Pelosi wrote: “More than a century ago, after generations of marching and fighting, courageous suffragists finally won full and equal citizenship and representation in our democracy with the adoption of the 19th Amendment. We honor those who moved our nation closer toward full equality for all.”…”
