It wasn't just the UK Guardian -- most of the Democrat-Media Party "news" organizations lied about inflation going up, despite the fact that the 0.1% increase is, effectively, no inflation at all. Remember, the Fed aims for a 2% yearly rate.

not just The Guardian is lying. Some headlines from the msm today
ABC "News": Inflation ticket Higher In May Amis Trump Tarriffs
USA Today: CPI Report reveals inflation crept higher
CBS: Inflation edged higher in May

Fire them all:

When the Trump administration swept into the Department of Justice on Jan. 20, it moved swiftly to purge, demote, transfer and otherwise sideline career lawyers not perceived to be team players or sufficiently committed to the MAGA legal agenda.
Amid the upheaval and exodus of longtime federal prosecutors, one quiet 10th floor office in a remote outpost of the Justice Department has come to symbolize the withering impact of changes at the agency. Those who work there call it "the rubber room."
Inside, nearly a dozen of the government's most seasoned civil rights, environmental and national security lawyers have been reconstituted as members of a newly created group called the Sanctuary Cities task force.
At first glance, the job seemed promising -- a legal strike team that would sue municipalities the administration claimed were facilitating the violation of immigration laws, a task force undertaking a top priority for the new Justice Department leadership.
But the more these attorneys looked into it, the more they concluded the task force was a sham, a Potemkin operation that seemed more aimed at stashing away career lawyers than putting them to work on a legitimate legal project, according to interviews with six people knowledgeable about the task force, all of whom painted a similar picture.
Lawyers there have been assigned menial research tasks and left with hours of idle time -- an effort they view as intended to coerce them into resigning, those with knowledge of the task force said.
"This is a hard thing to talk about," said Tom Mariani, an environmental litigator who resigned rather than accept reassignment to the rubber room. "I can't tell you how much personal distress I feel over how these folks were treated."
The term rubber room is an allusion to now-infamous "reassignment centers" where New York City officials transferred public school teachers and administrators who some considered burned out or incompetent, but who could not be fired because of union rules. But in this case, those being transferred have been elite veteran attorneys from the Civil Rights Division, the National Security Division and the Environment and Natural Resources Division whose performance had not previously been questioned.

LOL. These people all worked on left-wing politicized lawsuits and prosecutions.

They have been previously questioned, of course. It's just that the left supports the use of the DOJ as a tool of partisan warfare.

...
None would comment for this story, fearing retaliation from the administration. But public interest lawyers and government watchdogs say their experience stands apart as an example of how callously civil servants who have dedicated their professional lives to public service have been treated.

They're fucking hacks who took a job because the hours are good, the pay is good, and it's almost impossible to get fired. Stop pretending that they're sacrificing to take law jobs that do not require constant overtime work on the weekends the way lawyers in private firms have to do.

The emails began arriving in the third week of January from then-Acting Attorney General James McHenry, landing in the inboxes of some of the Justice Department's most senior career attorneys, notifying them that they were being transferred to the newly created Sanctuary Cities Enforcement Working Group and had 15 days to decide whether to take the new assignment or resign.
...

Those who did accept the assignment arrived in the isolated offices during what some called a Department of Justice in turmoil, former senior prosecutors told CBS News.
...
The lawyers continued coming into 2Con each morning but had to find activities to occupy their time. Some completed jigsaw puzzles and streamed television shows like "The Last of Us" and "Succession." One lawyer, Deborah Harris, whose previous job had been head of the Environment and Natural Resources Division's crimes section, could be seen practicing Italian on Duolingo.
...
The rubber room is just the latest in a series of personnel moves that critics of the administration have tracked. Some have been demoted within their own units. Bruce Swartz, the highly respected head of the Office of International Affairs, was notified by email that he was being transferred to the office's training program, a job that fell several rungs below his position. He opted to resign.

Toronto will open a black-only homeless shelter, with all other races excluded.

Toronto officials are taking applications until Friday for city council's new "Black-mandated" shelter, where everyone from employees to the homeless could be excluded on the basis of race.

City Hall has also decreed that experience in running a shelter is not a requirement for those submitting applications.
The city's shelter and support services division says the new shelter will help make Toronto's services "reflective of the diversity of the city," but offered no specifics as to where it would go or when it might open.
A city document says shelter services is developing "at least one Black-mandated shelter" by 2033. That document -- a set of guidelines for prospective applicants for the shelter contract -- says the intention is "to provide opportunities" for Black-mandated non-profits, "also referred to as B3," the document says.
It defines a B3 as "an organization that is led by a majority of paid staff and board members who self-identify as Black or are of African descent." A B3 must serve "Toronto's diverse Black communities," both in practice and in an explicit mandate.
While an applicant must meet those requirements to be eligible, one thing that isn't required is experience in running a shelter.
Shelter services "welcomes applications" from B3s "with less than one year of experience operating a shelter," the document says, but such groups are "encouraged" to find a mentor.
The expectations are unclear, as the document at another point references B3s that haven't operated a shelter for a year "but do have experience in providing other services to Black individuals experiencing homelessness." Meanwhile, a slide deck from an April presentation says applicants without a year of experience "will be required" to find mentors, including for shelter operations and asset management.

The guidelines document is 22 pages long, and includes a four-page glossary of terms such as "anti-racism," "diaspora," "interpersonal racism" and "structural racism." The section on providing financial details, meanwhile, consists of two short paragraphs.
The document lists a number of operational requirements for the shelter, such as running 24/7 all year long and committing to audits by City Hall. Some of the requirements appear specific to this shelter, such as stipulated "safe spaces for Black clients and staff," "culturally appropriate food and nutrition" and Black-specific toiletries and hygiene products as laid out in the city's confronting anti-Black racism, or CABR, directives.

In case you missed it: The Biden-controlled Secret Service made sure they destroyed the evidence in the White House cocaine case the moment after they issued their cover-up report.

Two years after the U.S. Secret Service discovered a bag of cocaine in the White House in July, 2023, documents showing orders for its destruction within 24 hours after the agency closed the case are raising new questions about the scrupulousness of the investigation.
A U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency document titled "Destruction" states that the bag of cocaine was sent to the Metropolitan Police Department for incineration. That document, obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, doesn't display a date for the destruction. But other internal Secret Service records show that the cocaine was tested by the Secret Service, the D.C. Fire Department hazmat technicians, and the FBI before being sent back to the Secret Service for storage on July 12. Two days later, it was transferred to the D.C. police department for destruction. The Secret Service shut down the cocaine investigation 11 days after discovering it.
The destruction of narcotics evidence must comply with environmental and safety regulations, and the D.C. police department has an Environmental Protection Agency-approved incinerator that federal agencies often use to destroy narcotics that are not involved in active legal cases.
D.C. police officials referred all questions about the cocaine's apparent destruction to the FBI. There's no entry or date for the cocaine's actual destruction.
Early last week, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino announced that he was re-opening the investigation into the cocaine found in the White House, as well as the leak of the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade and the discovery of a pipe bomb at the Democratic National Committee headquarters on Jan. 6, 2021.
Bongino reiterated his commitment to getting to the bottom of those cases in a Wednesday night interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity.
"Well, I get a kick out of it on social media," Bongino said. "People say, 'This case isn't a big deal. I don't care.' Well, I care. ... You don't care that a [potentially] hazardous substance made its way into the White House? We didn't know what it was, and we don't seem to have answers? Well, we're going to get them. I've got a great team on it."

I wonder if any DOJ lawyers who helped cover up the Biden cocaine scandal are in the rubber room.

Fox Nation has a special about the Trump McDonald's Shift.

Fox Nation is offering a rare glimpse into Donald Trump's pivotal McDonald's visit during the final weeks of his 2024 campaign with a multi-episode installment of "The Art of the Surge."
It all starts at a McDonald's drive-thru, where the then-GOP nominee traded a suit for an apron and got to work as a fry cook in Feasterville, Pennsylvania last October.
"I've always wanted to work at McDonald's, and I never did," he told workers inside the building.
The first episode of the series documents Trump's "first day" on the job from the very beginning, as he requested to work the french fry cooker and learned the process.
He walked through, step-by-step, dunking fries into hot oil, shaking the basket, pouring servings into the signature red McDonald's cartons and sprinkling salt over them.
It became an iconic moment on the campaign trail as the notorious New York City business magnate-turned-president performed a job many Americans have had at one point in their lives.
He even greeted customers wrapped around the building at the drive-thru window.
As one family took a Happy Meal from his hands he quipped with a smile, "It's going to be the best you've ever had. It had better be. I made it myself."
Customers passed on their messages of encouragement as the high-stakes faceoff with then-vice president and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris was merely two weeks away, with both teams in a mad sprint to the finish line.
"Make America great again!" one driver said.
...
"I could do this all day. I wouldn't mind this job," he said.
Trump's efforts were viewed by many as a mockery of a claim his opponent had worked for the fast food chain while in college.
At one point, Trump even remarked, "I've now worked for 15 minutes. Fifteen more than Kamala."

I just want to say -- aint that the truth. Don't forget, they also get their student loans forgiven after 10 years for being "public servants."

I know a decent number of lawyers who went to work for government -- fine pay, great hours, amazing benefits, and minimal work required. They are not making *any* sacrifices working for government.

They had to answer the phone when it rang but it only went to their boss who would check to see if they were answering. They could only call out to him also to get permission to use the bathroom or eat lunch. This "rubber room" sounds like a milder version of that. I approve!

The flexible whip that LAPD mounted might be using?

The sjambok or litupa, is a heavy leather whip. It is traditionally made from adult hippopotamus or rhinoceros hide, but it is also commonly made out of plastic. The resulting whip is both flexible and durable. A plastic version was made for the apartheid era South African Police, and used for riot control.

Peter Hathaway Capstick describes a sjambok as a short swordlike whip made from rhino pizzle leather that could lay a man open like a straight razor.

And yes, Cold Steel sells them.

151 Trump's vote (amongst immigrants): 36% in '16 to 47% in '24!

This right here is the statistic of the year.

The commie left opened the floodgates and let in millions of immigrants, blithely assuming that they would all eventually be default Democratic voters. And that this would tip the national vote in their favor forever.

Instead, the immigrant vote ended up being split about 50/50, so the Dems' entire strategy backfired and did nothing to help them at all. Meanwhile, all the non-immigrant voters (also known as "Americans") grew Angry at the Dems opening the floodgates, and all trended toward Trump. End result: 2024 landslide for Trump, and ever since all news cycles make Trump look good and the Dems look bad.

They have painted themselves into a corner and now have no way out. Everything they try to do, ends up hurting themselves. It's own-goal after own-goal after own-goal.

Absolutely glorious.

159 Seriously, the NYC rubber rooms were mostly filled with kiddie diddlers awaiting trial.

They were people so bad that the City could not allow them near children, but still could not be fired. Some had other charges but mostly violent. Some where nuts and volatile but all were so bad they could not even allow them inside a real school.

None could be fired. The kiddie diddlers could eventually be fired but only after conviction and union based appeals.

We are all at the mercy of the bottom quartile, but our public schools are at the mercy of the bottom 1%.

It's funny, because for decades it is thought that the way the conquistadors beat such overwhelming forces was "technology" of guns and armor and stuff.

Now, there are historians that believe that the Spanish staged slave and serf revolts to overtake the native rulers.

225 I haven’t been to Toronto in a really long time. I used to visit relatives there.
In those days it was pretty much tighty-whitey. Though with immigration I’m sure it’s more diverse.

When I used to go to Canada fairly frequently it was Montreal that had the diverse population.

233 I've heard it said that years ago in large Japanese corporations, where you had a job for life, when they wanted to remove someone they would be assigned to a bare office with only a phone. They had to answer the phone when it rang but it only went to their boss who would check to see if they were answering. They could only call out to him also to get permission to use the bathroom or eat lunch. This "rubber room" sounds like a milder version of that. I approve!

272 Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is supported by both US and Israel. In fact it's one of their distribution centers where the blood libel of the "IDF attack" on civilians occurred at the beginning of this month.

I know wikipedia is a pit, but I looked up GHF and it's as bad as I've seen. First paragraph: "As of June 10, 2025, more than 130 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces while journeying to GHF sites or during "aid distribution".

Link from there to a list of aid site "massacres": "On 1 June 2025, the IDF killed 32 civilians and wounded over 250 at the aid centre in Rafah".

What a cesspool.

The US, in cooperation with Israel, started a food distribution system to supplant the corrupt system of UNRWA and Hamas. GHF is an NGO contracted to carry out the aid distribution. The idea is to break the dependency of Gazans on the corrupt system, thereby weakening Hamas' hold on power.

It's showing great promise. The fact that Hamas is now attacking them shows how threatened they are.

There are some US mercs to prevent Hamas from stealing the aid. The IDF provides security at a distance.
