By Jack McKeever Agricultural commodities rose to their highest rate in more than a decade in August as wars and extreme weather threatened supplies, raising concerns that higher costs would hit American consumers already rocked by inflation. The Bloomberg Agriculture Spot Index, which tracks ten major agricultural commodities, climbed more than 13% in August through Friday, putting it on pace for its largest monthly gain since July 2012. Higher commodity prices can take time to reach grocery store shelves, but the increases are occurring alongside elevated energy and transportation costs tied to the war in Iran, potentially adding pressure to…

Nunes told her to return to the store and, if necessary, contact health authorities.Then she said her pension payments had been cut off, prompting Nunes to refer her to Brazil’s National Social Security Institute. She later raised a third complaint involving a bank, pulling…
The Supreme Court delivered a win to President Donald Trump, ruling that construction on the $400 million White House ballroom can continue. In a 5-4 ruling, the Supreme Court stopped a ruling from a lower court that would have “restricted construction until Congress provided additional approvals,” the Hill reported. While the ruling from the court “is not a final decision, and the case could ultimately return to the Supreme Court,” construction on the ballroom can move forward, according to the outlet: It is not a final decision, and the case could ultimately return to the Supreme Court. But in the…

Science-illiterate climate doomers are claiming that the bar graph (Fig. 6 from Lützow & Korup, 2023) shows that GLOFs have increased sixfold since 1900. But if you read the fine print on the y-axis and caption of the figure, you’d notice that this is what it actually shows. Rather, it shows that the number of GLOFs have increased. Reported means how many were documented, not necessarily how many there actually…

Never doubt your ability to influence people to adopt a pro-life viewpoint. Over the weekend, my sister and I met with an insurance agent. The agent, who was only 22 years old, asked where I worked. When I told him I worked for the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation, he responded that he did not think that abortion was a black-or-white issue. He then began talking about saving the life of the mother. I explained that pro-life laws have exceptions for the life of the mother, which represents only a small minority of abortion cases. I then asked if he realized that…

Today’s robber barons aren’t in such a giving mood. Sure, there are some figures like Microsoft’s Bill Gates — who has plenty…
The full U.S. Supreme Court on Monday paused a lower court injunction that blocked construction of President Trump’s new White House ballroom. The ruling was 5-4, with Chief Justice John Roberts and the court’s three Democrat appointees in dissent. In its per curiam opinion, the high court granted the Trump administration’s request to stay an injunction by D.C. District Court Senior Judge Richard Leon. Issued earlier this year, that order halted the White House’s above-ground construction on the privately funded ballroom, with the Bush 43 appointee arguing that the project lacked congressional approval. A three-judge panel for the D.C. Circuit…

This letter was sent out Sunday Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, As citizens entrusted with the responsibilities of democratic self-government, we are called to form our consciences according to the truth revealed by God and taught by His Church.

According to a report published by Health.com, certain fish are considered healthier due to their omega-3 fatty acid content and lower mercury levels. The report lists salmon, sardines, mackerel, and anchovies as top choices, citing nutrition experts and dietary guidelines.

A divided Supreme Court on Monday allowed the White House to continue construction on a $400 million ballroom project as lawsuits play out, a win for President Donald Trump as he flexes unprecedented executive power and remakes the capital in his image.

I first noticed this line of argumentation when Peter Beinart, a Jew himself, argued that voting for El-Sayed was a vote to save the world from burning to a cinder due to global warming. He, at least, argued that saving the world meant saving Jews too, so that in a larger sense it…
CTH continues to get considerable questioning about how the U.S-Canada fracture will take place, what it means for the Canadian dollar (CAD) and when the issues can be expected to apex. It appears that part of the reasoned disconnect people are struggling with is directly related to the messaging from the Canadian government in combination with the financial media. In short, despite the increased trade friction, a decoupling of the U.S. economy from the Canadian economy just seems unfathomable to most observers. The main question we receive is ‘when will things happen‘? Meaning when will financial markets react? The most…
