LurkerMom: ✅ PROMISE KEPT: Core inflation is near its lowest level in four years, prices for everyday goods continue to fall, and Americans are growing increasingly confident about the economic outlook.

Umm, what now?

All you have to do to know this is a lie is to buy beef, coffee, apples, soft drinks, appliances, a car, or gasoline. Of the nearly 400 items that BLS tracks, roughly 3 out of every 4 items (or 76 percent) increased in price between July 2024 and July 2025.

Core inflation is 0.30%, exactly the same as it was in Sept of 2023 and Sept of 2024 -- it is not at its lowest level in four years.

The national average price for a gallon of gasoline is $3.15 -- I paid $3.39 yesterday at a Costco in Illinois. The national average price for a pound of bacon is $7.11. The national average price for a dozen eggs peaked in March at $6.23. I bought coffee beans from Costco a couple of months ago fo $35 for a 2 lb 2-pack. Today it's $55.

And that's with importers eating most of the tariff increases, which will kick-in at the consumer level by the end of the year and into next year.

Seriously, how deluded must one be to believe this hogswallop?

I mean, we get it.

You love a rapist felon who was best buddies with a child sex trafficker for a decade, who flew on the Lolita Express despite owning his own jet, and who has been accused by more than two-dozen women of sexual misconduct or sexual assault after admitting on video that he could go ahead and sexually assault women because he was a star.

You love a guy who tells you he's ending "the weaponization of government against the American people" while asking his DOJ and FBI to investigate and indict Hillary and Bill Clinton, the Clinton Foundation, and Barack Obama, and calling for the investigation of Letitia James, Adam Schiff, LaMonica McIver, Ras Baraka, Andrew Cuomo, Miles Taylor, Chris Krebs, John Bolton, and many others.

And while sending federal troops into blue states despite red states having cities with more murders and violence.

And you love a guy who claims he's "deporting gang members in droves" when he's actually deporting DoorDash and Uber Eats drivers, a guy who delivers strawberries, a father of three Marines, and graduate students who write op-eds, among others -- none dangerous, except to the ego of a pathological narcissist.

Finally, Mad King Donald is less like Hitler and more like Stalin.

If Stalin was a pedo pervert.
