“After a historic run-up in inflation, Americans are now starting to see something they haven’t in three years: deflation,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“To be sure, deflation—that is, falling prices—is largely confined to appliances, furniture, used cars and other goods. Economywide deflation, when prices of most goods and services continuously fall, isn’t in the cards.”
“But economists say goods prices likely have further to fall, which will ease inflation’s return to the Federal Reserve’s 2% target, perhaps as early as the second half of next year”

So as the story goes, Merry Clayton, the female vocal on this song, received a phone call in the middle of the night. It seemed that the Rolling Stones needed a female backup for a cut they were currently recording. So, still in pajamas, 4 months pregnant and with rollers in her hair she made way to the studio and recorded this vocal, crack in the voice and all. Jagger called it bloody fabulous, and I have to agree. Now for the downer. She had a miscarriage the next day.

Trying to control Bibi is a thankless job. Criticize in private, you get blamed, criticize in public, you get blamed. I think Biden is being measured. In 1861-62, Lincoln tap danced around slavery because he politically had to. In 1940, before election day FDR tiptoed around war, knowing we’d eventually join the fight. Biden has to let Israel get a grip, then turn them towards a comprehensive political solution.

Update: The Ventura County Medical Examiner has ruled the Death of 65 y/o Paul Kessler was a Homicide caused by Blunt Forced Trauma to the Head, with the Ventura County Sheriffs Office now announcing that they have begun an Investigation into his Death and that they have not yet ruled out the possibly of a Hate Crime.
Your point is opaque. You seem to think that the lack of argumentative voices in administrations somehow limits the ability for a President to force other country’s to do their bidd8ng. Of course, there is no logic to this.
