Harvard economist says food prices are leaving him in ‘state of shock’

By Alicia Warren  | Fox Business One economist says the state of grocery prices is leaving him in "shock" despite knowing a thing or two about inflation.  Kenneth Rogoff, Harvard University economics professor and former IMF chief economist, admitted to being shocked at the cost of groceries while discussing the Federal Reserve's next steps in their inflation fight during an appearance on "Mornings with Maria" on Wednesday.     "I mean, I’m a professional. I understand the difference between the level of prices and inflation. It’s just something we haven’t seen in a long time," he stressed.  Rogoff went on to mention that "prices aren’t going to go down" and that, even though inflation is falling, prices are continuing to go up.

FBI engaged in ‘major-league cover-up’ of Trump assassination attempt, Judicial Watch says

By Joseph M. Hanneman | TheBlaze.com The FBI and the Biden-Harris administration are engaged in a “major-league cover-up on the near-assassination of former President Trump,” Judicial Watch Inc. asserted Aug. 12. The accusation came after the FBI denied Judicial Watch's request for records on the July 13 Pennsylvania rally at which Donald J. Trump was shot by Thomas Matthew Crooks. Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the FBI on July 26, seeking documents, emails, presentations, and other data regarding the FBI’s coordination with the U.S. Secret Service in preparation for the July 13 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, at which Trump was shot in the ear. The request covered the time period from June 15 to present. READ THE FULL STORY AT THEBLAZE.COM

Google execs pressed to testify after admitting Trump assassination attempt search omissions were by design

By Julia Johnson  | Fox Business Google admitted that autocomplete search results regarding the assassination attempt against former President Trump last month were prohibited by design and part of the company's policy for "hypothetical political violence against current figures." FOX Business reported exclusively in July that Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., was launching an investigation into Google after its autocomplete search results did not register the assassination attempt against Trump on July 13, which was dominating the news. He questioned the company in a letter over the search function, asking about its algorithm and what decisions were made in the aftermath of the attack on Trump.  In its response to the senator, Google Vice President of Government Affairs...

Hardin: The relevance of the 2nd Amendment today

By Amanda Hardin | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice The 2nd Amendment to the United States Constitution, part of the Bill of Rights ratified in 1791, states: "A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." This short, but potent, sentence has generated extensive debate through the years, reflecting evolving societal values, legal interpretations and practical implications. Let's explore the relevance of the 2nd Amendment in contemporary America. Initially, the 2nd Amendment was framed in the context of an emerging nation wary of standing armies and oppressive governments. The "militia" referred to ordinary citizens ready to defend their communities. The framers of the 2nd Amendment ...

RFK Jr. claimed ‘sham’ New York address disqualifying him from Empire State ballot, judge rules

By Michael Dorgan | Fox News Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s longshot bid for president has become even more unlikely after a judge ruled on Monday that his name should not appear on New York’s ballot after he falsely claimed a residence in the state on nominating petitions, despite living in California. New York Justice Christina L. Ryba concluded in a 34-page decision that the rented bedroom Kennedy, 70, claimed as his residence in the state wasn’t a "bona fide and legitimate residence, but merely a ‘sham’ address that he assumed for the purpose of maintaining his voter registration" and furthering his political candidacy. Ryba wrote in the decision that Kennedy’s designation of 84 Croton Lake Road in Westchester County as his place of residence "was a fa...

Memo: There is ‘no question’ Kamala Harris was tasked with serving as ‘Border Czar’

By Virginia Allen | The Daily Signal Every member of the House and Senate received a memo on Thursday detailing Vice President Kamala Harris’ record on border and immigration policy.  “There is no question that President [Joe] Biden tasked Kamala Harris with ‘securing the border,’ and there is no doubt that she has FAILED to secure the border and keep the American people safe,” Advancing American Freedom tells lawmakers in the one-page memo.  Despite claims that Harris was never named the “border czar,” Advancing American Freedom, a conservative policy organization, aims to prove otherwise, citing Biden’s announcement on March 24, 2021, that Harris will “lead our efforts with Mexico and the Northern Triangle” of Central America.

In response to likely anti-gun Harris presidency and shooting of Trump, firearm sales jump

By Paul Bedard | Washington Examiner, via Colorado Politics Gun sales turned up for the first time in nearly a year after last month’s assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump and promises of firearm bans from Vice President Kamala Harris following her anointment as the Democratic presidential nominee. While still high historically, sales month over month had slowed until the shooting and elevation of Harris, who selected liberal gun-grabber Tim Walz, the Minnesota governor, as her running mate on Tuesday. Gun sellers told Secrets that the combo has led to a sales spike and raised fears among owners. “Business picked up a few percentage points at the end of July into early August, and I think we can thank Kamala Harris and the Democrat Par...

The U.S. Navy’s warship production is in its worst state in 25 years. What’s behind it?

By David Sharp | Associated Press, via Military.com The Navy’s ability to build lower-cost warships that can shoot down Houthi rebel missiles in the Red Sea depends in part on a 25-year-old laborer who previously made parts for garbage trucks. Lucas Andreini, a welder at Fincantieri Marinette Marine, in Marinette, Wisconsin, is among thousands of young workers who’ve received employer-sponsored training nationwide as shipyards struggle to hire and retain employees. The labor shortage is one of myriad challenges that have led to backlogs in ship production and maintenance at a time when the Navy faces expanding global threats. Combined with shifting defense priorities, last-minute design changes and cost overruns, it has put the U.S. behind China in the number of ships at its dispo...

Walz ‘did not earn the rank’ he claims, his unit successor Lt. Col. John Kolb says in Facebook post

By Stephen M. Lepore | DailyMail.com The battalion commander who ran Tim Walz's former unit has slammed the vice presidential nominee over claims of 'stolen valor'.   Kamala Harris' running mate has already been forced to backtrack on claims of having 'carried' weapons of war in combat during his 24 years in the Army National Guard and faced claims of being a 'coward' from family members of soldiers. Harris has also been put in the unenviable position of confronting claims that Walz misrepresented his rank when he retired from the National Guard. READ THE FIULL STORY AT DAILYMAIL.COM
