Thanks to OPEC. Food inflation is higher (2.9%) compared to the end of Biden's mandate (2.5%). Remind me who promised to bring down the price of food? https://www.bls.gov/cpi/

I don't see the quote "in a matter of months" in the OP. You know, the same expression as in the CNN article you were so keen to denigrate recently....

Gag! 🙂 UN nuclear watchdog chief says Iran could again begin enriching uranium in ‘matter of months’ "The head of the UN’s nuclear watchdog says US strikes on Iran fell short of causing total damage to its nuclear program and that Tehran could restart enriching uranium “in a matter of months,” contradicting President Donald Trump’s claims the US set Tehran’s ambitions back by decades."

Anyway, we'll now whether he dies soon or not....

It depends how you present it. 54% fairly bad or very bad, 40% fairly good or very good. Note the 22% very bad and the 6% very good! 🙂 https://civiqs.com/results/economy_us_now?uncertainty=true&zoomIn=true&annotations=true

Blah blah! 🤣

More B.S. from you....🤣

Why don't you contribute to the thread's topic instead of derailing it by posting baseless rants about "the left"? 🤣

I just did! You are making up what "the left" may think or do in hypothetical situations! 🙂 Your other claim is also B.S. Plenty of right-wing initiated threads on this forum! 🤣

It's a possible explanations. There may be other explanations. "However, much of the speculation about Xi’s political misfortunes relies on unsubstantiated rumors or glaring ignorance of context. In some cases, a cursory look at the so-called “signs” reveals them to be entirely normal occurrences. In other cases, there are simpler and more convincing explanations for developments regarded as unusual. This article addresses some of the oft-repeated and less speculative arguments and evidence brought up by those who buy into the Xi “losing power” narrative." https://sinoinsider.com/2025/06/xi-is-losing-power-or-is-he/

B.S. as usual, about what the left hypothetically may think or may do! 🤣

What are your sources?

In 2023, it was 3.4% of U.S. GDP. https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/MS.MIL.XPND.GD.ZS?locations=US Around the same as the "real" NATO new target (3.5%).

The governments signed this treaty. There's no guarantee that the rebels and militias will respect it.

Who's making things up? Trump! Where are the 200 deals Trump claimed to have made more than one month ago? 🤣 “I’ve made 200 deals,” https://time.com/7280114/donald-trump-2025-interview-transcript/

There's even a wiki page about it, it shows plenty of flags wich such stars, including Ukraine, Switzerland, Belarus.... 🤣 https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Flags_with_eight-pointed_stars

Obviously, you don't know anything about this conflict. The rebels and militias, which are the ones actually fighting, have not signed anything. They are negotiating with Qatar, not the U.S.....🙂

Great idea! 🤣

So when you were doing your constant Biden bashing for years, we should have done like you and replied "Biden won", like a broken record? 🙂

Why does the graph you picked stop in 2023. The 2024 figures are widely available, 2.9% as of December 2024. And food inflation was 2.5% (now 2.9%). Remember me who promised to bring down the price of groceries? 🤣

Baseless claim! 😆 I have shown it's not the case. Fact from reliable source. If you want to understand why it's not reliable: https://www.schwab.com/learn/story/misunderstood-measure-how-to-approach-gdpnow https://www.fisherinvestments.com/en-us/insights/market-commentary/gdpnow-still-looks-backward

My point is that the GDP Now model is not reliable, as its forecast for Q1 (-2.8%) was completely wrong (it's -0.5%). And it was not the first time it was wrong. And more sources confirm that GDP growth expected to be around 1.4% / 1.6% for the full year. Around half of average growth under Biden! One more forecast at 1.4% https://www.deloitte.com/us/en/insights/topics/economy/us-economic-forecast/united-states-outlook-analysis.html

Stop replying to what I did not claim. My claim was that the act could not be an inflation creating act. And I have proven it. Chronologically, it couldn't.

@illisdean You claimed that the act was an "inflation creating act." That was another of your usual ridiculous claim. Fact is that inflation did not increase after the act was implemented, it decreased. I have proven you wrong again!

So it was implemented after the peak. How could it be responsible for inflation increase as it was claimed, Mr. gaslighter and B.S. aficionado!
