This person lives in the world of unreality and thousands upon thousands upon thousands follow him


 

That core cpi was up sharply is completely meaningless to this person. Who cares what people expected?

He also is mistaken about the Fed's preferred measure, which is NOT this but rather core pce.

Replies to all his posts are turned off, and he follows no one.


That there is so little pushback on this on X proves that American fans of American football have lost the testosterone which animates the game

Mad King Ludwig thinks he can re-name everything.

You know, like a man who thinks he can call himself a woman.

Same denial of reality disease, different expression. 

 

 
... While the term “football” is widely used for the sport, especially in Europe and much of the world, the U.S., Canada and Australia generally use “soccer” to refer to the game. ...

Core cpi inflation in June 2025 is up sharply to 2.93% year over year from 2.78% in May

 


Corey Comperatore dodged nothing



 
 
 

... It’s an ancient mistake to make messiahs out of politics. But likewise, it’s foolish to believe a God who clothes lilies and feeds sparrows is neglectful of the earthly authorities He commands His people to respect. To do either is to think too little of the sovereignty of God. It is the God of Heaven, the prophet Daniel says, who “changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings.” When doing so spares us from evil, we ought to thank Him. ...

Why do I think we would not be reading this today if God had removed the king instead of Corey at Butler one year ago?

Shall we thank God for the evil visited upon the family of Corey Comperatore? 

 

Different parties, same federal incompetence: Obama's EPA polluted the Animas and San Juan Rivers with 3 million gallons of toxic mine waste, 10 years later Trump's National Park Service burns down the Grand Canyon

Oops.

Trump reverses course and equips Ukraine with long-needed air defenses

 


The average vehicle on the road is now 12.8 years old, a new record as of May 2025

 


This index of used car values is still up 39% from the pre-pandemic level of 150 in June 2025

 


Kevin Hassett is full of it as usual

 

 
That makes no sense.
 
Buying costlier U.S.-made goods over foreign goods would naturally boost inflation, quite apart from new tariff differences in price. 
 
Meanwhile the core pce inflation rate in May 2025 year-over-year was 3.88% higher than it was in April, the 65% majority of which is services but still includes goods.
 
That's what the 0.1 point rise from 2.577% to 2.677% means.
 
The May 2025 rate is actually slightly higher than in May 2024, which means we've made no progress in the last year.

 No Man can be a sincere Lover of Liberty, that is not for increasing and communicating that Blessing to all People; and therefore the giving or restoring it not only to our Brethren of Scotland and Ireland, but even to France it self (were it in our Power) is one of the principal Articles of Whiggism.

Gallup poll shows backlash to ugly Trump immigration enforcement, record 79% now say immigration is a good thing

 


 The percentage saying immigration is a good thing has been slowly rising since the 2002 low at 52% to a record high 79% now.

The percentage saying it's a bad thing has been steadily falling since the 2002 high at 42%, now at just 17%, a record low.

The ten-point underwater spread in 2002 is now sixty-two points in 2025. 

Donald Trump has completely botched the issue, putting the stink of his ugly behavior on it for the foreseeable future.

More.

A new climatology graph not previously shown here: Trend for total seasonal annual snowfall for Grand Rapids, Michigan

 Seasonal measurements run from July to June.

Like the precipitation graph for Grand Rapids (recently updated), this one shows the same wetter trend over the last century plus, which makes sense given the cooler Pacific ocean trend shown by the Oceanic Nino Index (update forthcoming), and given the moderating winter heating demand shown by declining trend for heating degree days (also recently updated):

They're leaving the dogs, they're leaving the cats . . .

 ICE raids are leaving some L.A. cats and dogs homeless

... Pets belonging to people who are deported or flee are being left in empty apartments, dumped into the laps of unprepared friends and dropped off at overcrowded shelters, The Times found.

"Unless people do take the initiative [and get the pets out], those animals will starve to death in those backyards or those homes," said Yvette Berke, outreach manager for Cats at the Studios, a rescue that serves L.A. ... 

"Pets are like the collateral damage to the current political climate,” said Jennifer Naitaki, vice president of programs and strategic initiatives at the Michelson Found Animals Foundation. ...
