Where are prices still rising the fastest? At the kitchen table, for starters.

By Megan Henney | Fox Business Inflation eased again in July, even as an uptick in the cost of rent, groceries and auto insurance kept prices uncomfortably high for millions of Americans. Inflation eased again in July, even as an uptick in the cost of rent, groceries and auto insurance kept prices uncomfortably high for millions of Americans. The Labor Department on Wednesday said that the consumer price index (CPI), a broad measure of how much everyday goods like gasoline, groceries and rent cost, rose 0.2% in July from the previous month, in line with expectations. Prices climbed 2.9% from the same time last year. It marked the lowest level of inflation since March 2021. READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX BUSINESS

Marcus: Donald Trump was almost assassinated one month ago. Our media has moved on. Voters have not.

By David Marcus  | Commentary, Fox News It was one month ago, in the tiny town of Butler, Pa., that a would-be assassin's bullet came less than an inch away from changing not just the 2024 presidential election, but the course of American history. The shocking shooting that left husband and father Corey Comperatore dead, and two more wounded remains a sharp and piercing image in the minds of many voters. It feels as though decades of politics have taken place in these past 30 days, we have emerged in a very different situation, and if prelude is precursor the next 84 days shall not want for more surprises.

‘Putting down a rabid dog’: Stefanik demands N.Y. official resign over Trump shooting remark

By Elizabeth Elkind  | Fox News House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., is demanding that a local elected official in her district resign after reportedly comparing former President Trump to a "rabid dog" after he was shot. Christine Paige, a member of the Potsdam Town Council, has faced bipartisan backlash over her comments, which were first reported last month by local media. "Far Left Democrats supporting political violence and the assassination of President Trump are shameful and do not deserve to represent the great people of the North Country," Stefanik told Fox News Digital.

As debt tops $35 trillion and deficit reaches $1.5 trillion, critics ask where’s the debt plan?

By Casey Harper | The Center Square The federal deficit so far this fiscal year has already hit $1.5 trillion, the U.S. Treasury Department reported in its monthly fiscal update. The federal data comes just days after the national debt surpassed $35 trillion, an unprecedented figure that worries economists and budget analysts. For now, though, neither Republicans nor Democrats have prioritized getting the deficit under control or showed unity in putting a plan forward to do so. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE CENTER SQUARE

Harvard economist says food prices are leaving him in ‘state of shock’

By Alicia Warren  | Fox Business One economist says the state of grocery prices is leaving him in "shock" despite knowing a thing or two about inflation.  Kenneth Rogoff, Harvard University economics professor and former IMF chief economist, admitted to being shocked at the cost of groceries while discussing the Federal Reserve's next steps in their inflation fight during an appearance on "Mornings with Maria" on Wednesday.     "I mean, I’m a professional. I understand the difference between the level of prices and inflation. It’s just something we haven’t seen in a long time," he stressed.  Rogoff went on to mention that "prices aren’t going to go down" and that, even though inflation is falling, prices are continuing to go up.

FBI engaged in ‘major-league cover-up’ of Trump assassination attempt, Judicial Watch says

By Joseph M. Hanneman | TheBlaze.com The FBI and the Biden-Harris administration are engaged in a “major-league cover-up on the near-assassination of former President Trump,” Judicial Watch Inc. asserted Aug. 12. The accusation came after the FBI denied Judicial Watch's request for records on the July 13 Pennsylvania rally at which Donald J. Trump was shot by Thomas Matthew Crooks. Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the FBI on July 26, seeking documents, emails, presentations, and other data regarding the FBI’s coordination with the U.S. Secret Service in preparation for the July 13 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, at which Trump was shot in the ear. The request covered the time period from June 15 to present. READ THE FULL STORY AT THEBLAZE.COM

Google execs pressed to testify after admitting Trump assassination attempt search omissions were by design

By Julia Johnson  | Fox Business Google admitted that autocomplete search results regarding the assassination attempt against former President Trump last month were prohibited by design and part of the company's policy for "hypothetical political violence against current figures." FOX Business reported exclusively in July that Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., was launching an investigation into Google after its autocomplete search results did not register the assassination attempt against Trump on July 13, which was dominating the news. He questioned the company in a letter over the search function, asking about its algorithm and what decisions were made in the aftermath of the attack on Trump.  In its response to the senator, Google Vice President of Government Affairs...

Hardin: The relevance of the 2nd Amendment today

By Amanda Hardin | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice The 2nd Amendment to the United States Constitution, part of the Bill of Rights ratified in 1791, states: "A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." This short, but potent, sentence has generated extensive debate through the years, reflecting evolving societal values, legal interpretations and practical implications. Let's explore the relevance of the 2nd Amendment in contemporary America. Initially, the 2nd Amendment was framed in the context of an emerging nation wary of standing armies and oppressive governments. The "militia" referred to ordinary citizens ready to defend their communities. The framers of the 2nd Amendment ...

RFK Jr. claimed ‘sham’ New York address disqualifying him from Empire State ballot, judge rules

By Michael Dorgan | Fox News Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s longshot bid for president has become even more unlikely after a judge ruled on Monday that his name should not appear on New York’s ballot after he falsely claimed a residence in the state on nominating petitions, despite living in California. New York Justice Christina L. Ryba concluded in a 34-page decision that the rented bedroom Kennedy, 70, claimed as his residence in the state wasn’t a "bona fide and legitimate residence, but merely a ‘sham’ address that he assumed for the purpose of maintaining his voter registration" and furthering his political candidacy. Ryba wrote in the decision that Kennedy’s designation of 84 Croton Lake Road in Westchester County as his place of residence "was a fa...

Memo: There is ‘no question’ Kamala Harris was tasked with serving as ‘Border Czar’

By Virginia Allen | The Daily Signal Every member of the House and Senate received a memo on Thursday detailing Vice President Kamala Harris’ record on border and immigration policy.  “There is no question that President [Joe] Biden tasked Kamala Harris with ‘securing the border,’ and there is no doubt that she has FAILED to secure the border and keep the American people safe,” Advancing American Freedom tells lawmakers in the one-page memo.  Despite claims that Harris was never named the “border czar,” Advancing American Freedom, a conservative policy organization, aims to prove otherwise, citing Biden’s announcement on March 24, 2021, that Harris will “lead our efforts with Mexico and the Northern Triangle” of Central America.
