Inflation in the US accelerated last month to its highest rate in nearly two years, as higher oil prices triggered by the US-Israel war in Iran started to spill over into the wider economy.
Consumer prices climbed 3.3% over the 12 months to March, picking up from 2.4% in February, the Labor Department said.
That marked one of the the biggest monthly changes since 2022, when the world was dealing with an energy shock brought on by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Last month's increase was driven by a surge in prices at the pump, as the war’s shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz sent oil prices soaring, according to the report.
Would you rather spend money on a strong military or on USAID – funding trans clinics in foreign countries, DEI musicals, other BS foreign aid, etc?
Something doesn't add up. Trump the dealmaker was going to create World Peace (aka whirled Peas). His style, charm, masterful dealmaking and leadership was going to cause wars to cease.
It's almost like Trump has some more Imperialistic goals left undone.
Under Trump no sustained war broke out. You had the Israel / Iran conflict in June that was 12 days and the current Iran conflict that was just over a month. That was it. He made the World a far safer place through his policy of peace through Strength.

"Many people are saying" Putin has grown tired of Trump and wants Vance. And that is why his paid for blogosphere is unitedly attacking Trump now.
Would any of our Trumpers like to offer a theory as to why Trump is turning on all of his right wing talkers? Candace Owens, Tucker, Alex Jones and even the Russian funded ones.
These talkers have huge audiences and they are all pizzed at him.
Trump is having the DOJ investigate Tucker Tehran Carlson because Carlson is an unregistered agent of Iranian Hezbollics. Carlson trash-talked a sitting U.S. President and visited DisneyLand while the American nation was recently at war. That is indictable under felony law.
Trump has issued a muted criticism of Alex Jones because of Alex Jones' bankruptcies. Trump has very little respect for people who can't properly manage their finances.
Benny ("Ben Ben") Johnson is a Russian funded (Tenet Media, RT, Internet Research Agency - Leningrad) podsnogster. He deserves Trump's scorn.
The origin of that chart is rightwing Zerohedge. As usual, they do NOT provide a data source reference. As usual, Trumpers claim someone else created the chart.

Under Biden:
- Ukraine / Russia, 2022 to present
- Israel / Hamas, 2023 to 2025
Trump ended 8 wars in his first 8 months.
Not sure if it is a good thing that you have to deal with constant tension and wars at different places. Under Trump no place is safe. But I understand you love his policies not his character.
The war is going so badly that Trump sent his wife out to bring attention back on The Epstein Files.
That was a really weird move she pulled. I still can't figure it out. It was certainly a rogue move. She went rogue on the Trump administration's Epstein suppression objectives. Ashkenazi Miller is thinking like "What? More fvcking Epstein hearings?!?! You crazy migrant nitwit! Shut the fvck up!"
And why did she feel the need to throw people like Lutnicks and Musks under the bus with her suggestion that partying on Epstein's pedo island or on his plane was the litmus test/threshold for condemnation? Melianial knows that it isn't a crime to party with Mr. Epstein.

8 down votes. No up votes. Same 8 liberals who live on this thread. No job, no life.
In the meantime, Trump is making things better, including their lives, and TDS beats reality.
What a sad existence. Under Obama, how many died slow deaths in horrid conditions after being rounded up by Obama? Liberals----look squirrel!
The difference? Conservatives didn't protest and cause problems. Most liberals don't work, so they've got the time to break the law.
You should all take a nap, all 8 of you. Obsessive disorders are "fixable" with meds.
Trump, keep on doing the right thing sir. You are the Commander of this great Country, well done sir.

This is your comeback post? Did you learn nothing in your months of retreat? That is piffle, Ackley Kid. You're going to get run out of here by the liberals again with weak posting like that.
With that move, the S&P 500 has jumped nearly 4% this week, tracking for its best week since May. The Dow has gained more than 3% week to date, while the Nasdaq is on pace to rise almost 5%.
All three indices are down year to date after lackluster 2025.
Heck of a job, piggie. No wonder all the podcasters are running away from you as fast as possible. LOWEST LEVEL EVER RECORDED.
"Consumer sentiment fell in April to the lowest level recorded in the 70-plus-year history of the University of Michigan's survey, evidence of Americans' concerns that the Iran war will hit the domestic economy.
The survey's preliminary April reading came in at 47.6, down from 53.3 in March. That was worse than analysts had expected."

If Trump would return the money he illegally taxed American businesses, conditions would improve. That's just basic supply side economics. I'm surprised he doesn't know this. Wasn't he like an economics major in college or something? Number one in his cohort? How does he think taxing American businesses will make things better? That's backwards. That's failed socialism. That's how economic girly-men think.
Who woild have thought tariffs and war in the Middle East were inflationary? What expert could possibly have conceived of that kind of brilliant foresight? And why wasn’t that expert Donald Trump?
“Inflation has tripled from just one month ago, and it’s higher than when he took office. Not only has Trump failed to deliver on his central campaign promise to make life more affordable - he is actively, directly driving prices up.”
BS!
Inflation is DOWN 800%.
Prices are down even MORE. Many people are saying that prices are SO low, there isn't even a number for it. DOWN like you wouldn't believe!!!

Sure thing. My question is, what part are you NOT getting? You do realize that everything you read about against a conservative and for a liberal isn't true, right?
Enjoy the read below and call a fellow Democrat a liar, it won't change my life in the least.
******Stephen A. Smith went thermonuclear on Democrats Saturday on his show — accusing the party of downplaying the role of federal agents in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot and blasting the party as “corrupt” in a blistering commentary.
******On The Stephen A. Smith Show, the host cited a report from the Justice Department inspector general’s office that 26 FBI informants were in Washington the day rioters stormed the building.
*******Only three of them were asked by the FBI to travel to the event, the Associated Press reported. The others were there on their own accord and none were given permission to enter restricted areas.
*******Still, Smith blasted Democrats over the report in a scathing monologue in which he portrayed them as duplicitous and wrong on numerous issues.
*******Smith accurately made note of the report and opined anyone who floated the idea that the FBI was present at the riot was considered insane before last week. Smith then ripped into Democrats over their narratives on the riot and several other issues.
********“The Democrats lost the White House, Senate, and House in November, in the November election,” he said. Smith continued:
*********The news comes amidst a bombshell report from the Justice Department that revealed the FBI had at least 26 confidential informants on the ground when the capital was stormed on January 6th, 2021. The report says most of the informants engaged in illegal activity during the chaos. The Justice Department says only three of its 26 informants present had been instructed to observe potential domestic terrorist suspects. On the day of the riot, the rest of the 23 appeared to have gone to the Capitol on their own accord.
********Upon hearing news of the report, Vice President-elect J.D. Vance posted the following on X, “For those keeping score at home, this was labeled a dangerous conspiracy theory months ago.” So, 23 folks for the FBI. When the crowd. And we’re just finding that out. Didn’t hear anything about that before the election. Didn’t hear anything about that. When an “insurrection” was broached by Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee. By President Biden before her. But Democrats in both the House and the Senate as they articulated The belief that Donald Trump was a danger to democracy and using this as a profound, illuminating bullying bullet point to make that case. And now here we are yet again finding even more evidence. To Donald Trump’s claims when he articulated that the process is rigged. The Democrats are this or that. They’re talking about us, but look at what they do. Smith said he would not take in the full DOJ report as a fact before he continued his criticism of the Democratic Party.
*******“My big issue is that I’m really, really sick and tired of every time I turn around. Finding something else that the Democrats have lied about or downplayed or misrepresented along the way,” he said.
*********After blasting big-name Democrats such as Oprah Winfrey and Al Sharpton for accepting money from the party, he sounded off:
If you need anything from above explained, please post your email and I'll contact you. Cheers!

So there were 26 informants and (according to the same report) ZERO undercover agents. What’s the lie?
Again, your claim that J6 was a “lie” is one sports analyst‘s opinion? If these facts cause you to cry uncontrollably, post your address and I’ll be happy to mail you a pacifier.
Cheers!
