Inflation continues to rise. The producer price index (PPI) rose .5% from February and 4% from March 2025. The year-to-year increase was the biggest in more than three years.
What is trump focused on? Attacking the Pope and posting Jesus-like images of himself.
“All who make idols are nothing, and the things they treasure are worthless. Those who would speak up for them are blind; they are ignorant, to their own shame.” Isaiah 44:9
Congressional Republicans and trump have ushered in the Golden Age of Inflation.
Inflation accelerated to 3.3%.
And what do trump and Republicans want to do? Vote for even more spending in their proposed reconciliation bill.
Today I discovered having butter cake with stout beer. Tastes pretty amazing.
Inflation is up
Incomes are down
GDP growth lowered again to an anemic .5%
What has Vice President @JDVance been focused on? Campaigning in a foreign country for a foreign politician who is a puppet of Putin.
Congratulations to Democrat Chris Taylor for winning the Wisconsin Supreme Court election!
Every time there has been an election last year and this year, the Democratic candidate way over performs.
There will be a blue tsunami this November.
“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” -trump
Only one class of weapons can prevent a civilization from being brought back: nuclear weapons.
The Cabinet must invoke the 25th Amendment, now.
Congratulations to UCLA for winning its first NCAA National Title in program history!!
Happy Easter!
Every military strategist understands Sun Tzu’s observation: “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.”
trump just announced with a bullhorn his greatest weakness in this war. Iran suspected, but now knows, what trump fears.
Congratulations to UCLA for advancing to the NCAA National Championship!
My prayers are with the crew of the F-15 that Iran shot down.
Everyone knew the US military can obliterate any country.
But what the war in Iran showed is that our military and allies cannot defend our own bases or assets from a second tier military, especially in a prolonged conflict.
We need an entirely new defense strategy, particularly for Indo-Pacific.
November is coming
Rep Jared Huffman is one of the smartest and most courageous Members of Congress. I just purchased his book NO PROPHETS: The Fight to Save Democracy from Christian Nationalism. You can too by clicking the link below.
This is a critical issue and I’m so pleased Rep Huffman is addressing it head on.
Inflation continues to rise under the disastrous policies of trump and his rubber stamp Republicans.
PPI inflation rises to 3.4%, above expectations of 2.9%.
Core PPI inflation rises to 3.9%, above expectations of 3.7%.
Core PPI inflation at its highest since February 2023.
I served on active duty for 4 years and 21 years in the reserves. My military ID let me go to sensitive locations, like a military base.
Under the SAVE Act’s insane requirements, a military ID does not allow an American to vote.
Happy Pi Day!
This heartwarming story does not surprise me because AI has made incredible leaps in just a few years.
But I’m happy this story will piss off conspiracy theorists like RFK Jr. and anti-vaxxers who don’t trust science and mRNA vaccines.
My prayers are with the families and friends of the six crew members who died when their KC-135 refueling aircraft went down.
Inflation continues to rise under the disastrous policies of trump and his rubber stamp Republicans.
The Fed’s preferred measure of inflation, Core PCE, increased to 3.1% in January, the highest level in 22 months.
A foreign hacker likely has the Epstein Files.
The best way to prevent blackmail of government officials, such as trump and Howard Lutnick, would be for AG Pam Bondi to stop the cover up and release all the Epstein Files as required by law.
Congratulations to Democrat Bobbi Boudman for flipping NH Carroll District 7 from red to blue! Another huge Democratic over performance.
November is coming.
Betty and I had a wonderful time at the Torrance Firefighters Spaghetti Dinner and Bake Sale tonight!
Thank you to the amazing firefighters who protect us, and to all those who support our firefighters. Torrance is one of the few cities that has a Class 1 Fire Department.
The trump economy sucks:
92,000 jobs LOST last month.
Unemployment rate INCREASES to 4.4%.
Labor force participation DROPS.
And what is trump focused on? Golden drapes and his Epstein ballroom.
Thank you to the American people who exercised their First Amendment rights to protest and film horrific abuses by Kristi Noem’s masked agents.
House and Senate Judiciary Committees held two oversight hearings exposing Noem’s corruption and abuse of power.
trump fired her today.
It’s an absolute dereliction of duty that the Trump Administration didn’t have a plan in place to get Americans out of danger.
The producer price index (PPI), a leading indicator of CPI, came in hot.
Expectations were that Core PPI would be 3.0%, but prices jumped by 3.6%.
The tariffs and policies of trump and his rubber stamp Republicans are crushing the American economy and super charging inflation.
