  • CHINA’S FOOD PRICES ARE FALLING - EVERYONE ELSE IS STARVING FOR RELIEF. While the world’s grocery bills explode, China’s chart just broke formation - the only major economy where food prices are dropping. OECD data shows food inflation has outpaced general inflation across nearly every country since 2019. The outlier? Beijing. As Europe and the U.S. battle double-digit food hikes, China’s prices are quietly deflating. Why? Oversupply, efficient logistics, and government-subsidized staples. Beijing built food security like it was prepping for a siege - and now it’s paying off.

  • Spanberger spent her career in the CIA. How many more people like Abigail, who refuses to withdraw her endorsement of Jay Jones for VA Attorney General after supporting the murder of his political opponent and his kids, have infiltrated U.S. Intel agencies and positions of power?

  • IMHO and experience, NO computer should be used in ANY stage of the voting process—no scanners, counters, tabulators—whatever they want to call them. The electronic poll books and ERIC and First Net should/must go too. Paper ballots are useless without hand counting.

  • Legacy Media NEGATIVE Coverage: Letitia James: 5%. Kilmar Abrego Garcia: 5%. RFK Jr: 96%. JD Vance: 90%. Elon Musk: 96%. Kash Patel: 96%. Kristi Noem: 89%. Pete Hegseth: 100%. Tulsi Gabbard: 100%. President Trump: 95%. So telling… Legacy Media is the enemy of the people.
