Inflation accelerated in May as rising energy costs contributed to pain for consumers, though underlying pressures were less intense.
The BBC have officially announced that the Doctor Who Christmas special has been canceled, and show runner Russel T Davies (RTD) has fessed up that he was lying all along and never wrote a script for it. This puts the show in the same position as it was in 1990, when it was effectively cancelled until it was rebooted 16 years later.
House Speaker Mike Johnson said Tuesday that he could not prove his election fraud claims that three GOP candidates had lost despite being ahead when polls closed.
The consumer price index, a broad gauge of goods and services costs across the U.S. economy, rose at a seasonally adjusted 0.5% for the month, putting the annual inflation rate at 4.2%, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Wednesday. Both numbers were in line with the Dow Jones consensus. Inflation climbed above 4% for the first time in three years, though the increase met expectations amid concerns over how much the surge in energy prices would impact the economy. The level was the highest since April 2023 and above the 3.8% level from April.
OpEd: President Trump campaigned on a promise to wrest universities from "Marxist maniacs and lunatics." Since taking office, his administration has frozen billions in federal research grants, forced closures of diversity, equity and inclusion programs, revoked international student visas, threatened universities' tax-exempt status, and gutted the Department of Education.
The disc golf company sponsored Domenic Griffin from 2021 until he voluntarily resigned via email on Dec. 8, 2024. After Griffin's resignation, the disc golf company ceased contact with Griffin.

Disgraced former deportation czar racist Greg Bovino, freshly returned from a neo-Nazi summit in Portugal, announced he's thinking of running for POTUS:
What financial and PSYOP support would Greg Bovino receive from international fascists, Felon Musk, and/or the Kremlin if he attempted this quixotic, but vile, campaign?
Good-for-nothing House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) bleated this confession in a podcast:
Screwed again
IDF soldiers battered and arrested Ismail en-Nicce (10) in the occupied West Bank before he was taken to a detention center where he was held for three hours. His uncle, Ziya al-Haddad: "[Palestinian] children live in an atmosphere of fear, full of terror every day, and are exposed to punishments by occupying soldiers."
The peace-loving, hardworking American taxpayer is subsidizing this horror show of child abuse and ethnic cleansing in Israel
Voters in Washington state could approve an anti-transgender law, Initiative Measure No. IL26-638, which would require girl student-athletes statewide to confirm their "biological sex" with genital inspections just to play sports. Opponents of the initiative say it's invasive, could block poorer students from getting verified, and could meet pushback from medical professionals who refuse to comply.
The initiative would require students who want to participate in girls' sports to provide "a health examination and consent form or other statement signed by the student's personal health care provider that verifies the student's biological sex, relying only on one or more of the following: The student's reproductive anatomy, genetic makeup, or normal endogenously produced testosterone levels."
What impressed me most about Obama was the restraint. Now let us be honest as Black men for a second. There were countless moments where many brothers would have snapped publicly dealing with the level of disrespect he faced. People interrupted him.
Yemen's Houthis declared a ban on Israeli shipping in the Red Sea and claimed a missile strike on Israel, with the Bab el-Mandeb and Hormuz blockades now simultaneously threatening roughly a third of the world's seaborne oil and gas. Read more
House oversight committee alleges that Minnesota Democrats in the state turned a blind eye to mass fraud because they feared "political retribution from the politically active Somali community." James Comer, R-Ky, and the committee chairman said "Americans are fed up with fraud and expect action from the government entrusted with their hard-earned money."
Near the occupied West Bank city of Hebron, an IDF soldier murdered seven-month-old Sam Fahd Abu Haikal by opening fire on the family car, despite the infant's father stopping the vehicle when ordered to do so. The IDF soldier opened fire, pulled back his unit, and then simply walked away without a single word or a second thought.
The IDF treats Palestinians as Untermenschen
I noticed today that I never check the DR on my phone anymore. It used to be my #1 boredom blocker. In a waiting room or on the subway, it was my go to. Now with all the drop down ads and in between ads, etc. I just don't anymore, it's just not worth the trouble. It seems counter productive to me to make your site so annoying that folks give it up. Now the ads play to no one.
After vastly underqualified acting USAG Todd Blanche said the controversial "weaponization" fund to pay Jan 6 lunatics would "not be moving forward," good-for-nothing still-in-the-closet Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) noted that the aggrieved have always had a pathway for extracting lucrative settlements from the nefarious Trumpf junta, like the way treacherous PV1 Michael Flynn received a generous dollop of American taxpayer dollars after he betrayed the United States of America.
Here is a potential claimant
