    Biggest drivers in the rising June CPI data include appliances and beef prices.

    Cattle Futures Make All-Time Highs

    McDonalds and Shake Shack have reported their quarterly financial reports, both
    provided a less-than-stellar guidance for the current yearm attributable to higher beef prices​

    I've seen a lot of Trump defenders go on and on about how they are seeing lower prices at the stores now under Trump, compared to Biden.


    Beef prices climb to record highs in US

    According to U.S. government data, the average price of a pound of ground beef rose to $6.12 in June, up nearly 12% from a year ago.

    OMAHA, Neb. — Anyone firing up the grill this summer already knows hamburger patties and steaks are expensive, but the latest numbers show prices have climbed to record highs.

    And experts say consumers shouldn't expect much relief soon either.

    The average price of a pound of ground beef rose to $6.12 in June, up nearly 12% from a year ago, according to U.S. government data. The average price of all uncooked beef steaks rose 8% to $11.49 per pound.

    most people expect the Fed to cut rates in the next FOMC meeting in Sept, but not so fast

    here are 3 reasons---inflation inducing---that there may be no cuts this year

    1. 90+ days after liberation, still no trade deals of significance, adding more uncertainty
    2. [Big beautiful bill] sponsored by the Tangerine Musolini adds 6 trillion dollars in debt

    The price of beef doesn't matter to them as long as they have they have a pedophile in office who shares their values.

    That's correct. We have a health crisis in our country. Way too many people are severely overweight. Honestly, in today's world of information, wealth, access to weight loss drugs, access to gyms and fitness centers, and access to all types of foods (including healthy foods)... being fat is a choice. It shortens your life, it impairs your quality of life, and it diminishes your opportunities in life (be those jobs, friends, or sexual partners).

    Honestly, I am shocked at how people just let themselves go. I think there's a mental problem attached to it. There must be because why would someone voluntarily choose to be fat? I am personally repulsed when I gain an extra 2 pounds. I cannot imagine what goes through the minds of people who are 20-30-40 pounds overweight, and some people are even larger. I'd love to see RFK Jr succeed in a health revival in this country. It benefits all.


    GOOD DAY

    It's only gonna to get worse as the months go by, and hurricanes, flash floods, and heat waves cause more pain, and especially when prices start climbing from tariffs, and Trump keeps lying about everything going on in the world.

    27% approval rating with Latinos
    29% approval rating with independents
    31% approval rating with college graduates

    The only people who approve of Trump are your lowest iq individuals of society.

    Donald Trump's Approval Rating With Men Hits Rock Bottom

    2024, 53 percent of men aged 18-44 broke for Trump, up from 45 percent in 2020, when former President Joe Biden won the demographic with 52 percent of the vote.

    In YouGov/CBS polling, Trump's support among this key voting bloc has dropped by double digits over the last six months, which could impact upcoming primaries and the 2026 midterm elections.

    Latinos played themselves

    all that groveling for acceptance from people who think you’re “poisoning the blood of this nation” and don’t want u here

    now they gotta go outside carrying their papers because Lord help them if ICE stops them for being brown and they can’t prove they’re a citizen right then and there…they’re getting detained

    sometimes ICE doesn’t even care and detains them anyways, and their family doesn’t know where the hell they are for days

    Amigo, you might be thinking of the wrong group! Latino culture adds greatly to the nation, and Latino citizens are welcomed with open arms into the Republican party. Which is why over half of Latino men voted for President Trump.



    GOOD DAY

    The DOJ announcing that Trump is on the Epstein list will help his numbers.

    For those who like coffee and OJ with your breakfast, you can all but guarantee Trump's politically motivated tariffs on Brazil will affect your pocketbooks. 50% of our orange juice is imported from Brazil, as well as 35% of our coffee.

    Over the last 20 years, production in Florida orange groves has plummeted 92%, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

    By the Department of Agriculture’s own estimate, Brazil supplies more than half of the orange juice on shelves in American stores, and Americans will pay the price for a crop we can't supply enough of, especially when natural disasters and disease have devastated our crops over the past decades.
