🆙 The United States has lived through 14 straight months of higher and higher inflation since President Biden and his economic advisors deemed the issue a “temporary” and “transitory” issue that would quickly be brought under control.
▪️ Data put out by the Labor Department this week showed that the Consumer Price Index hit 9.1 percent in June, its sharpest monthly increase since 1981 and the height of the ‘malaise days’ of the late Carter and early Reagan years. On Thursday, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen admitted that inflation was “unacceptably high,” but blamed Russia.

📹 British journalist shocked by what he saw in Donbass
▪️ In an interview with German journalist Anna Lipp, her British colleague John Miller said that the Western media deliberately ignore what is happening because it is not in their interest:
🗯 “There is no British or American journalist from a major network - it's shocking. The Ukrainian Army is shelling civilians. And it's just a fact. And they are not talking about this in the West simply because it's inconvenient.”

📹 Ukrainian nationalists have very unique priorities: while ordinary fighters were living in dugouts, they set up entire drug laboratories in apartments. Apparently they forgot to remove their equipment and “harvest” during their retreat.

🚙 An intoxicated Lyft driver in Troy, Michigan, was stopped earlier this month by Troy Police. The arresting officers said they pulled over the 2020 Kia Optima near Rochester Road and Player Drive at 3:21 a.m. for multiple traffic violations. The 38-year-old Detroit woman told them she was a Lyft driver and had a passenger.
Officers said they could smell a strong odor of intoxicants from the vehicle and noticed that the woman's eyes were glossy. When asked about this, she told them she had two bottles of beer before driving.
After performing field sobriety tests poorly, the woman blew .18% on a preliminary breath test, police said, more than double the legal limit of .08%. She was taken to jail, where she blew .18% twice on a Chemical Breath Test. The woman was cited for operating while intoxicated.
