Dark Brandon Rules. Inflation is going down* (still high but falling) and gas prices are down 26%

* The rate of inflation

Tuesday’s inflation report could show prices moderating as gasoline and travel costs fall

Gasoline prices are the biggest driver of the decline in energy. Since peaking at $5.01 in mid-June, the national average for unleaded gas has dropped all summer, to an average of $3.71 per gallon Monday, according to AAA.

Markowska expects headline CPI to decline by 0.2%, but sees a rise in core of 0.3%. Shelter is one area expected to rise, while used car prices are forecast to fall.

“I think we’re going to see a repeat in terms of airfares and hotel prices. They dragged down the core CPI last month. It looks like airfares will be down 8%,” said Markowska. “They were up 40% from March to May. We’re just unwinding a portion of that.”

Economists say the base effects of comparing the number to last year are behind the jump in August core inflation.

Biden gives speech in Ohio on boosting American manufacturing
Politics Updated on Sep 9, 2022 5:05 PM EDT — Published on Sep 9, 2022 11:18 AM EDT

President Joe Biden is putting the spotlight on a rare bipartisan down payment boosting U.S. manufacturing as he visits the political battleground state of Ohio, and the groundbreaking of a new Intel computer chip facility.

Biden went to suburban Columbus to take a victory lap after the passage of his CHIPS and Science Act in July.

Intel had delayed groundbreaking on the $20 billion plant until the legislation was passed by Congress.

Speaking at the construction site of the new plant, Biden declared, “It’s time to bury the label rust belt and call it … the Silicon heartland.”

********
Riding with Biden!

So the secret service was helping Trump in moving top secret documents (my guess) from Merde a Logo

.... to his golf club in New Jersey in May after he had been subpoenaed to return those documents by
the DoJ? Just how big is the fascist right wing rot in the government? Time to search Bedminster,
fire and charge those S.S. agents, and why the fuck isn't he locked up by now?

And this happened around the time of the Saudi backed golf tournament @ Bedminster?

Under Bill Clinton and previous Presidents N. Korea never built a nuclear weapon or an ICBM

The reasons:

1) We paid them off in food not to build a nuke.

2) We talked to them.

Under Clinton the N. Koreans liked to talk with Bill Richardson and he would meet them in some
place in the Philippines and after a few days of them talking about the American Devils and the
CIA he would ask, "OK how much food do you need?" And then the Dept. of Ag would see what
kind of surplus agricultural commodities we had such as rice, flour, wheat, corn, meat, poultry,
and so on and then we would ship some of those products to N. Korea and in turn N. Korea would
build nuclear weapons. It was a win win win because N. Korea didn't build nuclear weapons, God
only knows how many Koreans would not be starving, and American Farmers would get paid and the price
of their products were supported.

Then this "thing" happened.



But then in 2000 the SCOTUS installed w who quit speaking to K to the J w/ the I and L (Jim Ward's
hip hop name for Kim Jong Il) and the North Koreans even though they were begging to do so after 9/11
because they were part of "The Axis of Evil." So they started building nuclear weapons and advanced
ICBMs. BTW Trump's buddy Vlad helped Kim Jong Un's missile program by sending him advanced
ICBM parts and technology from the old Soviet Union.

I wonder if Joe B has Bill (he is a good man) Richardson's number?
