The Rainmakers - Let My People Go - Go (Live at Meieriet i Lunde, 2014)

Six years ago I posted a video of the Rainmakers, a Kansas City-based band, performing "Let My People Go-Go" live. Here's another clip of this great song, recorded in their beloved Norway.

Inflation at 41-year-high at 8.6 percent

Lake Bluff, IL on June 7

The morning after the two-hour hate last night about the January 6th Capitol riot, there is bad news for Americans--the inflation figures for May are out and not surprisingly, the numbers are terrible. 

Of course, the Democrats want to change the subject away from the wretched job they are doing. The Dems control Congress and the White House. A year ago, Joe Biden was calling inflation "transitory." Two nights ago, in a softball interview with Jimmy Kimmell, Biden bragged about the US economy. 

From Yahoo Finance: 

U.S. consumer prices accelerated in May to the highest since 1981, as Americans grapple with a surge in the cost of gas, food, and shelter, data showed Friday. 

The Bureau of Labor Statistics' May Consumer Price Index (CPI) showed a year-over-year increase of 8.6% last month, up from 8.3% in April. Economists were expecting an 8.3% increase in May, according to estimates compiled by Bloomberg. 

On a month-over-month basis, the broadest measure of inflation climbed 1.0%, compared to 0.3% in April. "Core" inflation, which strips out the more volatile costs of food and gas, rose 6% over the prior year in May, more than the 5.9% that was expected. 

The biggest contributors to the latest jump in inflation were shelter, gasoline, and food, according to the BLS. The energy index rose 3.9% month-on-month in May, with the gasoline index rising 4.1%. Compared to the prior year, energy prices in May were up 34.6%, the most since September 2005.

Mark Dice: Joe Biden joins Jimmy Kimmel to embarrass himself

In Mark Dice's words, "former comedian" Jimmy Kimmel interviewed Joe Biden yesterday. 

It was a softball interview --and one thing Dice overlooked is that Kimmel didn't ask Sleepy Joe about the biggest story today, the arrest of the man who says he wanted to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Don't forget, it was leftist Dems who cheered on the protests in front of the homes of conservative US Supreme Court justices.

San Francisco DA Chesa Boudin is out

It's rare when I say that here is good news regarding an election in San Franciso. But last night far-left, pro-criminal Chesa Boudin, the district attorney of San Francisco was recalled by voters. Over 60 percent of SF voters chose to oust him. 

The recall of another radical DA, George Gascon in Los Angeles County, is still in the petition stage.

Time for a law school refresh? Lightfoot says of those charged with crimes "these people are guilty"

Lightfoot

I imagine in the first semester of law school the subject of "innocent until proven guilty" comes up. Heck, when I served on a jury years ago it did. 

And while I firmly believe that Kim Soros-Smollett Foxx, the so-called prosecutor in Cook County whose formal title is Cook County state's attorney, is a menace to public safety and should resign, Chicago's failed mayor, Lori Lightfoot, went too far when she made some alarming comments.

"Given the exacting standards that the state's attorney has for charging a case, which is proof beyond a reasonable doubt - when those charges are brought, these people are guilty." She immediately clarified that statement a little, adding "and of course they're entitled to a presumption of innocence. Of course, they're entitled to their day in court. But residents in our community are also entitled to safety from dangerous people. So we need to keep pressing the criminal courts to lock up violent, dangerous people."

Foxx, among many things, has let too many accused violent criminals go free on no or low bail, or put them on electronic monitoring, which many then elude. Crime is skyrocketing in Chicago and the suburbs. But it might be you or me who is deemed "guilty" one day by an unbalanced public official like Lightfoot, a former federal prosecutor and a graduate of the University of Chicago law school. Lightfoot is expected to announce her bid for a second term on Wednesday. 

Instead of upending the perception of guilt and innocence, Lightfoot should instead be demanding the resignation of Foxx.
