Another Year of Bidenflation Means More Record-Breaking Independence Day Cookout Costs

/0 Comments/in , /by

Backyard barbecue buffs all across the nation will pay more for several grilling goodies in 2023 after enduring yet another year of the Biden administration’s damaging economic policies.

A new report from the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) found that the total cost for a 10-person Independence Day gathering featuring hamburgers, chicken, pork chops, chips, lemonade, ice cream, and other goodies will cost $67.73.

AFBF framed this year’s estimation as “Down Slightly From 10-Year High,” after last year’s total of $69.68. But that framing doesn’t provide the whole story, especially considering that Americans will pay 17 percent more for hamburger buns, 5 percent more for potato salad, 4 percent more for ground beef, and 3 percent more for strawberries and ice cream than they did in 2022.

AFBF’s Chief Economist Roger Cryan noted that this year’s overall calculated cost is “still 14 percent higher than it was two years ago.” Data also shows this is “the second highest” priced cookout recorded since the survey’s conception in 2013.

Two years have passed since President Joe Biden’s White House bragged about saving Americans money on their backyard barbecues in 2021. In reality, the prices of barbecue basics were only pennies lower than in 2020, when prices were marred by government-mandated lockdowns and a supply-chain crisis. At the time, Americans were also struggling to keep up with record-high gas prices and a 5 percent increase in the cost of consumer goods.

‘America’s Most Wanted’ Murder Suspect Outran Cops for 39 Years, Hid in Plain Sight as California Official

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .A Florida man who outran cops for 39 years despite three appearances on “America’s Most Wanted” was caught in California this month while serving as president of a local water board, according to reports.

Donald Santini, 65, vanished from Hillsborough County in 1984 after being named the prime suspect in the brutal strangulation murder of Cynthia Ruth Wood, whose body was found dumped in a canal.

“We are all flabbergasted,” a colleague of Santini on the Lake Morena Views Mutual Water Company told ABC 10.

“He was a pillar of the community. He seemed upstanding. He was an advocate, non-confrontational, and was hardly hiding. I am still trying to process all of this.”

Using more than a dozen aliases and frequent changes of location, Santini eluded capture before finally being tracked down to Campo, a rural community of just 3,000 people an hour outside of San Diego.

DOJ Prosecutors Who Allegedly Refused to Charge Hunter Biden Donated to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, Records Show

/0 Comments/in , /by

One of the federal prosecutors who allegedly declined to charge Hunter Biden with tax fraud donated to President Joe Biden and the other gave money to Vice President Kamala Harris while working in the private sector, Federal Election Commission (FEC) records show.

U.S. Attorney David Weiss, a Trump-appointee who led the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) investigation into Hunter Biden, requested the U.S. Attorney in the Central District of California and the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia to each bring tax charges against Hunter Biden, according to testimony from IRS Whistleblower Gary Shapley.

Weiss’ requests were rejected by Biden-appointed U.S. Attorney for D.C. Matthew Graves and Biden-appointed U.S Attorney for the Central District of California E. Martin Estrada, Shapley testified. Weiss requested special counsel authority after each request was rejected, and Attorney General Merrick Garland denied his requests, according to Shapley.

Biden’s alleged tax evasion from 2014-15 would have to be charged in D.C. prior to the statute of limitations expiring, Shapley said. “However, I would later be told by United States Attorney Weiss that the D.C. U.S. Attorney would not allow U.S. Attorney Weiss to charge those years in his district,” he continued.

“That process meant no charges would ever be brought in the District of Columbia, where the statute of limitations on the 2014 and ’15 charges would eventually expire. The years in question included foreign income from Burisma and a scheme to evade his income taxes through a partnership with a convicted felon. There were also potential FARA [Foreign Agents Registration Act] issues relating to 2014 and 2015. The purposeful exclusion of the 2014 and 2015 years sanitized the most substantive criminal conduct and concealed material facts,” Shapley added.

Dem Mayor Resorts to Blaming Problems He Created on Race, Accuses Woman of Being a Slave Owner (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams boldly accused a woman of being racist (as all Leftists do) after she questioned him about his liberal policies.

During an event, Adams furiously lashed out at a woman who asked him a question about high rent prices, saying she treated him like “someone on the plantation.”

The tense conversation between the older woman and Adams occurred when she interrupted the mayor to accuse him of raising New York City rent and supporting the increases.

“If you are going to ask a question, don’t point at me, and don’t be disrespectful to me,” Adams said. “I’m the mayor of the city. Treat me with the respect I deserve to be treated. I’m speaking to you as an adult. Don’t stand in front like you are treating someone that’s on the plantation that you own. Give me the respect I deserve.” . . .

“Don’t be pointing at me, don’t be disrespectful to me,” Adams said. “Speak with me as an adult because I’m a grown man. I walked into this room as a grown man, and I’ll walk out of this room as a grown man.” (Read more from “Dem Mayor Resorts to Blaming Problems He Created on Race, Accuses Woman of Being a Slave Owner” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

One of the actresses of the upcoming movie Barbie is using the film’s promotional tour to push abortion, saying she is “extremely pro-choice” and has a “very emotional relationship with Roe v. Wade.”

Actress Ana Cruz Kayne, who plays Supreme Court Justice Barbie in the Warner Bros. movie that is set to open July 21, held forth on abortion in an interview with the outlet The Messenger.

“I’m extremely pro-choice,” she said. “And I’ve been given a few opportunities — and as many as I can, I will say yes to — to speak about my personal story with abortion and help other women to come out and speak about their stories and share their experiences.”

She added: “I just think it’s so important to let women know that they’re not alone in these decisions, that they’re not taken lightly, that there’s such a community of women who have these experiences, and it’s important that we share them.” (Read more from “‘Barbie’ Actress Pushes Abortion: ‘Extremely Pro-choice,’ ‘Very Emotional Relationship With Roe v.

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden White House tried to pull a fast one over on Americans by deleting a heated exchange between White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre and a reporter from its official live stream.

Today News Africa correspondent Simon Ateba accused the White House of removing his tense conversation with Jean-Pierre, saying the Biden Administration has discriminated against him.

“The White House, under this administration, we’re committed to the freedom of the press. I want to be very clear about that,” Jean-Pierre declared.

“So are you going to take questions from me?… because you’ve been discriminating against me for the past nine months,” Ateba asked.

The back and forth continued when Jean-Pierre finally threatened the reporter that she would end the press briefing, calling Ateba “incredibly rude.”

IRS Whistleblower Says He Was Barred From Taking ‘Certain Investigative Steps’ That Could’ve Led to President Biden; Hunter Got $8.3 Million From Foreign Sources

/0 Comments/in , /by

By New York Post. The IRS whistleblower accusing the Justice Department of interfering in the Hunter Biden tax fraud probe claimed in a new interview that his team was prevented from taking investigative measures that “could have led us to President Biden.”

IRS supervisory agent Gary Shapley, who delivered bombshell testimony to the House Ways and Means Committee in May related to the five-year-long tax fraud investigation of first son Hunter Biden, made the assertion in a sit-down with CBS Evening News that aired Tuesday.

“There were certain investigative steps we weren’t allowed to take that could have led us to President Biden,” Shapley told CBS reporter Jim Axelrod.

Shapley emphasized in the interview that the investigative procedures the Justice Department purportedly blocked his team from completing were a necessary part of the probe.

“We needed to take them,” he said. (Read more from “IRS Whistleblower Says He Was Barred From Taking ‘Certain Investigative Steps’ That Could’ve Led to President Biden” HERE)

IRS Whistleblower: Hunter Got $8.3 Million From Foreign Sources, We Can’t Recoup Taxes on $400K in Unreported Burisma Income

By Breitbart. During an interview with the Fox News Channel aired on Wednesday’s broadcast of “Special Report,” IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley said that Hunter Biden got around $8.3 million from China, Ukraine, and Romania and that there is “no way to recoup” taxes owed on $400,000 of unreported income he made from Burisma in 2014 and unreported 2018 income.

Shapley said, “Concerning Hunter Biden, I feel like we have a very good grasp on the income flows, yes. … It was around 8.3 million from 2014 to 2019.”

He added, “When prosecutors don’t allow you to put the subject’s name on document requests or on search warrants, then it raises the possibility that there’s more information out there that we didn’t find, but based on all of the financial records that we did find, they’ve been analyzed and it was around 8.3 million he received.” (Read more from “IRS Whistleblower: Hunter Got $8.3 Million From Foreign Sources, We Can’t Recoup Taxes on $400K in Unreported Burisma Income” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Woke tech giant Google has pulled its sponsorship from a San Francisco drag show after hundreds of its Christian employees signed a petition alleging that the performance was a “direct affront to the religious beliefs and sensitivities of Christians.” The drag show features a performer named “Peaches Christ.”

The New York Post reports that woke tech giant Google has withdrawn its backing from a drag show in San Francisco, a decision that came in the wake of a petition signed by hundreds of its employees who claimed the event was a “direct affront to the religious beliefs and sensitivities of Christians.”

Google, known for its support of LGBT events, found itself in a tricky situation when it decided to remove the “Pride and Drag Show” from its yearly lineup of LGBT Pride events. This move was prompted by Christian employees who were unhappy with the main performer, drag artist “Peaches Christ.”

The petition, which was signed by a significant number of Google employees, accused the company of religious discrimination. The petitioners stated, “Their provocative and inflammatory artistry is considered a direct affront to the religious beliefs and sensitivities of Christians.” They argued that Google was showing religious bias by sponsoring an event and performer that they felt was disrespectful to the Christian faith.

Wuhan Lab Researcher Says COVID Engineered as Bioweapon

/0 Comments/in , /by

A researcher at the Wuhan Institute of Virology claimed that China deliberately developed the COVID-19 virus as a “bioweapon.”

Researcher Chao Shao said during an interview with reporter and activist Jennifer Zeng this week that his fellow lab researchers were given different strains of coronaviruses and asked to determine which is most effective for spreading across various species.

Shao further claimed that the whereabouts of several of his colleagues could not be determined during the 2019 Military World Games in Wuhan and that some of them were sent to hotels where international athletes were living to “check the health or hygiene conditions.”

Shao said he thinks his colleagues were sent to the hotels to spread the coronavirus, the Jerusalem Post reported:

Chao Shao suspected that these actions were unrelated to virology research and suggested that they were potentially involved in spreading the virus.

‘If Russia Collapses, We Will All Perish’: Belarus President Lukashenko Takes Credit for Ending Wagner Group’s Mutiny

/0 Comments/in , /by

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko on Tuesday said that “if Russia collapses, we will all perish,” after he was asked to explain his position on Moscow.

Lukashenko has largely taken credit for mitigating the Wagner group’s mutiny against the Russian defence ministry. “My position: if Russia collapses, we will remain under the rubble, we will all perish,” he said.

The Belarusian leader, who has proven to be Russian President Vladimir Putin’s closest ally for supporting the country in the Ukraine war and by allowing Russian troops to invade it via Belarus, said, “The threat of a new global conflict has never been as close as it is today. They (West) are once again asking to blow up our country, our entire region, to disorient people.”

“Unfortunately, our attempts to settle the situation through peaceful negotiations are now called a ‘diplomatic imitation’. The price of this ‘imitation’ is hundreds of thousands of human lives,” he added.

Explaining the events that unfolded in Russia just three days ago, Alexander Lukashenko said that he was closely monitoring the attempted coup against Putin on Saturday.
