How Much Is Biden's Cookout Going to Cost This Year?

In July 2021, some genius at the White House got hold of an American Farm Bureau report that claimed an American family’s Fourth of July cookout cost all of 16 cents less than in 2020.

“The Biden economic plan is working”? Biden was rightly mocked on Twitter for that tone-deaf tweet.

Most Americans would settle for last summer’s prices this year. So how’s that Fourth of July cookout bill going, Joe?

Spectator USA:

Now, Independence Day is once again right around the corner, yet this year’s Biden meal calculator is still forthcoming. It seems less likely the White House will hail any kind of cookout savings. Uncooked ground beef prices have jumped 13.8 percent from May 2021 to May 2022, according to the Consumer Price Index released Friday. Porkchops rose 11 percent while ice cream climbed 9.6 percent. Cheese shot up 8.7 percent.

It’s a good thing we got those 16-cent savings last year. It sort of eases the pain we’re feeling this year, right?

Right?

The prices of pork and beans, lemonade, and potato chips also rose, though calculating that is a bit harder. Pork and beans could be put into unrelated pork products (up 12.6 percent) or canned vegetables (up 11.7 percent). Lemonade possibly falls into the frozen noncarbonated drinks (5.7 percent), the nonfrozen category (10.9 percent), or the other beverage material category (7.2 percent). Potato chips likely go into the snack category (up 13.6 percent) or other miscellaneous foods (12.6 percent).

Last July 4th, gas was about $3.15 cents a gallon. This year, it’s at $5 a gallon and climbing. Do you think any intrepid White House reporter is going to call attention to that idiotic tweet from...

POSOBIEC: LeBron James must 'stand up' and 'demand justice' for Ethan Liming

"Stand up and show that you're not going to play politics, demand justice in this case, the same way you demand justice everywhere else."

Human Events Daily host Jack Posobiec slammed NBA star LeBron James for not demanding justice in the death of Ethan Liming, the 17-year-old boy who was beaten to death at a school founded by James in Cleveland.

Liming, of Akron, Ohio, was found beaten to death in the school parking lot on June 2, according to the Akron Police Department. Liming would have been a senior at Firestone Community Learning Center in the Fall.

Authorities say that Liming was playing basketball on the school court with a group of at least three other males. A fight broke out in the school parking lot and Liming was found dead at the scene around 11 pm that night. Liming's cause-of-death was blunt force trauma to the head, according to investigators.

Three men have been charged in relation to the death, with the men all being held on a million-dollar bond each.

"What's incredibly interesting to me is, LeBron James. I'll give him credit, he's put up a couple of tweets on this, and he's mentioned it. But LeBron James, who's a guy who's usually leading the charge for social issues, who's always demanding justice for this thing or that thing," Posobiec said.

"LeBron James won't say anything about the CCP and the Uighur camps, no no no. Telling people they should 'pipe down' when they talk about the Uighur camps. This is your school, sir. This is the school that you fund. He just visited it like a week ago he was there.

The NBA megastar has gone silent on the matter since his tweet, which is not common for James, a known and outspoken activist that uses his platform for "justice," and now the family is begging for his help.

"And so the question is, Mr. James, why is this taking place within the confines of your school? I love the media saying,... 'It was near the school, it wasn't in the school...' Guess what. The basketball court, the parking lot, that's part of the school. That's on school grounds, everybody knows that.

"Should I say that LeBron James needs to be held accountable for this? No, of course not. Is he to blame for this? No, of course not. But what I am saying, though, is that he's been awfully quiet about the beating death of Ethan Liming, a 17-year-old kid, obviously goofing around. But the fact that he was assaulted, beaten, and killed by these individuals really flies in the face of everything we've been...

“This will escalate in a way that is very unpredictable and very unsafe.”

A neighbour of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh has detailed how pro-abortion protesters have terrorised the entire community where he lives, even threatening other neighbours, telling them “f*ck you and f*ck your children.”

Speaking anonymously to Fox News, the neighbour says that the protesters have been “aggressively” disrupting the area on multiple days for weeks since the leak of the intention to overturn Roe vs Wade.

“They are people who come from out of the area. They have a staging point in a parking lot fairly nearby,” the neighbour noted, adding that they come specifically at 7pm because they know that is when parents are trying to get their young children to bed.

“There’s little kids who live on the street. It’s a horrific experience,” the neighbour urges, adding “It’s not great if you have kids of any age, but it’s unbelievably stressful and the kids are very upset, the kids have to be sent inside and it’s so loud you can’t put your kids to sleep.”

“They picked the exact time, and they don’t care,” the neighbour continues, claiming that “Literally, there’s no way on a Wednesday night you can put your kid to bed.”

“They have drummers, they have a megaphone, and they chant, they yell all kinds of things… They have told neighbors ‘f*ck you, f*ck your children, things like that – and so they’re abusive toward the neighbors and intimidating,” the person further asserts.

The neighbour also says that police are doing very little to stop the disruption.

“We’ve been told that because they will move eventually when a car comes down the street, they’re not technically blocking the street,” they say adding “What we’ve also been told is that this is ‘behaving within the bounds of the law’ and the only law that could be enforced is the federal law that they’re not supposed to protest outside the home of judicial officers, but the federal partners declined to enforce that law.”

“There’s nowhere to go to get away from it,” the neighbour adds, noting “I think people are very concerned that if there isn’t action taken, that this will escalate in a way that is very unpredictable and very unsafe.”

“There just doesn’t seem to be anyone in a position of leadership or authority who is considering those issues and acting on them and trying to look for a solution rather than just allowing this possibly to escalate,” the person adds.

As we have highlighted, police last week arrested an armed would-be assassin, identified as Nicholas John Roske, who told officials that he “wanted to kill” Kavanaugh, and that the motive for his intended attack was disagreement with the Supreme Court’s assumed plan to...
