By that source, and for 2026, your answer is correct. While not directly related to the topic at hand, your answer affirms that inflation continues at rates well above the Fed's 2% target. The food price increases I have in mind are longer term and are more difficult to quantify. That's...

The premise of your question is false.

It's difficult to say because these are long-term impacts. Farmers who can actually buy fertilizer are paying highly elevated costs. But many cannot and that means significantly reduced crop yields this Fall. The anticipated food shortages will likely drive prices up. We'll know then how much...

Additional War Thought I mentioned above that I was surprised Iran has not yet opened fire on the US destroyers and other navy ships now operating in the Straight of Horumz. This is pure speculation, since I don't know, but it occurred to me Iran has not opened fire because the status quo...

I demonstrated above how you can make Grok or any other AI say anything you want it to by manipulating the prompts. And I further explained that I reject all of your Grok use for that reason. If you can source actual facts, I'll listen but Grok is no source of truth in itself. About the "Paying...

You keep mentioning this but to what end? What is your point? I've never seen people wearing MAGA hats before they started wearing MAGA hats, but so what? I don't feel the need to mention such a thing over and over and over again. Also, how do you know "the Left" did not whine about the price...

Trump's Blockade is Working Oil remains over $100/barrel, thereby degrading the US economy and quality of life. I can only presume this is Trump's secret goal, since everything he has done in the last 40 days has helped sustain this result.

Ragman, Regarding your "Absolutely none of this would be happening if Trump had simply gone to jail ..." meme, maybe it had to happen so the world could see how truly awful and evil Trump and his enablers are when left to their own devices. However, that lesson came with a terrible price to pay.

It seems Trump actually wants people to believe he is a deity. Before, he characterized himself as the chosen one. With his dementia progressing, he has promoted himself to The One. And this is no joke. I have personally met someone who believes Trump IS Jesus. I have seen a few pastors on TV...

With nearly all votes counted, it's official. Peter Magyar defeated Trump buddy Victor Orban by a landslide, and his Tisza Party obtained a super-majority in Hungary's parliament. Under the Hungarian constitution, this gives the Tisza Party the ability to: Rewrite the Constitution: Magyar can...

Maybe so but it will likely be made and backed up with gunfire. Neither Trump nor Iran are rational actors.

Iran could argue that Trump violated it by sending destroyers in to remove mines. They are blowing up mines by firing on the mines with guns and drones in some cases. It worries me deeply that Trump sent our troops into a shooting gallery like this. They are literally sitting ducks.

According to MAGA, not if Trump does it. If Biden did it, it would be a war crime. Pretty strange how MAGA logic works, isn't it? If Iran sent a commando force to kidnap Trump and spirit him to Iran to stand trial for killing over 100 school girls, would that be a war crime? If Iran fired a...

For how long? I'm surprised Iran has not fired on the sitting-duck destroyers yet.

Solid law-breaking Trump. Seizing ships on the high seas is piracy ... a crime. With years of state-sponsored terrorism, and now the control of the Straight of Hormuz, Iran is an outlaw nation. It's a theocracy, not a democracy, that brutally suppresses its people and limits their freedoms...

Trump is entitled to serve out his term if the people who are empowered to do so do not remove him under the 25th Amendment or impeach and convict him. Both possibilities are increasingly likely as his dementia progresses and as the midterm elections approach.

Of course I knew that. Most people do. What's your point?

That is a belief you are entitled to maintain. There is no point in debating the point with you any further. I'm content to let nature take its course to prove me right. If Trump lives long enough, the symptoms of his dementia will become so obvious that only the intentionally blind will be...

Hungary Election: Trump Buddy Victor Orban Voted Out by a Landslide In what is widely seen as a huge blow to the the global far-right movement, and a big boost to the European Union and NATO, Hungarian voters elected Orban's opponent not by a majority but by a supermajority for the new...

The Great Red State of West Virginia Since watching a continuous hour of YouTube posts and news videos from West Virginia showing business owners and individuals struggling with their electric bills, I have not been able to put the scenes out of my mind. People are reporting that their...
