Why is it that food and and energy are not included in the consumer price index? Either way, your cup of Joe is bidding adieu to the index as calculated . They can tweak it all they want, but inflation is inflation. A new report comes out this week.
Here goes:
The Bureau of Labor Statistics announced coffee prices will no longer be factored into the CPI inflation data.
This is another way for the US government to fudge the inflation numbers to help Joe Biden in the middle of a presidential election.
The overwhelming majority of Americans consume coffee every day. According to Drive Research, 73% of Americans drink coffee every day. Consumer prices rose 0.4% in February – less energy and food prices. Grocery prices are up 30+%. Gas prices are soaring.
The US BLS has announced that coffee prices will no longer be factored into CPI inflation data. In fact, the April 2024 CPI inflation report this week will be the first to NOT include coffee price inflation. Well, the obvious next step is to see what happened to coffee prices over the last few months.
Since September 2023, coffee prices are up a MASSIVE 78%. From January 1st of this year through the high in April when this change was announced, coffee prices gained 35%. Starbucks, just reported a 6% decline in traffic as higher prices deter consumers. What is happening here?
This week’s April CPI inflation report will NOT include coffee price inflation.
The all items index rose 3.5 percent for the 12 months ending March, a larger increase than the
3.2-percent increase for the 12 months ending February. The all items less food and energy index rose
3.8 percent over the last 12 months. The energy index increased 2.1 percent for the 12 months ending
March, the first 12-month increase in that index since the period ending February 2023. The food index
increased 2.2 percent over the last year.
Postscript.
After I put this post together, a comment was left on the tweet.
Coffee is not being removed from CPI. Discontinuing the publication of a specific average price series is not the same as removing a good from the CPI calculation. For an explanation, see bls.gov/cpi/factsheets…
Antony Blinken saddled up and took his bags full of money over to Ukraine. There certainly is gold in them thar hills and Green Energy was one of the goodies. But the bigger story? Getting dressed down by Ukraine’s foreign minister. The story that got some minimal coverage:
Blinken Gives $520 Billion to Ukraine to Make Their Energy Infrastructure ‘Cleaner, More Resilient.
But there were other “mentionables” in their discussions that were worth taking note. Blinken commends their “fight against corruption.” efforts. (Laugh line here)
The Biden administration pledged to invest $520 million in Ukraine’s energy infrastructure as part of a new aid package totaling more than $1 billion.
“At the Ukraine Recovery Conference held in London a few months ago, I pledged that the United States would invest more than $520 million in making Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, more than half of which has been destroyed by Russia, cleaner, more resilient, and more integrated with Europe,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said last week during a visit to Kyiv.
The Hindustan Times has a clip that has their take on the meeting on the other “mentionables.” Let’s pause here:
‘Not Charity…’: How ‘Ungrateful’ Ukraine Insulted Top U.S. Diplomat For $1 BN Military Aid | Watch
At issue was the comment:
“The second argument is also – I mean, I think very simple. I mean, I don’t want to sound rude, but the question is if the West cannot win in this war, then what is the war that the West can win?”
Back to the story:
More goodies?
Secretary Blinken:
“The new security funding that we’re announcing today will also be bolstered by the arrival of U.S. Abrams tanks this fall and by training for Ukrainian pilots on F-16s in the United States, complementing training that is already underway in Europe.”
Beyond Ukraine’s security needs, for the first time we are transferring to Ukraine assets seized from sanctioned Russian oligarchs, which will now be used to support Ukrainian military veterans. Those who have enabled Putin’s war of aggression should pay for it.
We’re continuing lifesaving humanitarian assistance; emergency shelter for those whose homes Russia has destroyed; medical support and health care for survivors of relentless Russian missile attacks and shelling, including as we saw again last night and today; food, clean drinking water; generators for communities. Today we’re committing an additional $206 million toward that effort, much of which is dedicated to helping the more than 6 million Ukrainians who are displaced by Russia’s war.
As Russia continues to weaponize food, we’re helping people within Ukraine and around the world who are suffering from extreme hunger as well as malnutrition. Not content with pulling out of the Black Sea Grain Initiative – which has sent 32 million metric tons of Ukrainian grain to the world, the equivalent of more than 18 billion loaves of bread, most of it to developing countries – Putin is now bombing Ukrainian granaries and warehouses, mining port entrances, driving up food prices around the world, devastating Ukrainian farmers.
We’re engaged in assisting the Government of Ukraine on anti-corruption efforts and on efforts to ensure accountability and full transparency of all the assistance we’re providing as well as the security of U.S.-provided defense articles and technologies. President Zelenskyy and I discussed these issues today and the importance to Ukraine’s democratic future of continued reforms and the fight against corruption. (Excuse me…. chuckle line. They must be laughing too.”
FOREIGN MINISTER KULEBA:
The second argument is also – I mean, I think very simple. I mean, I don’t want to sound rude, but the question is if the West cannot win in this war, then what is the war that the West can win? And when I say the West, I include Ukraine to this list as well. But I think the most important part of your answer was – comes from the Secretary himself from his concluding lines that Ukraine, as he said, should win and will – must win and will win. And this is exactly the philosophy that is being then implemented into specific decisions that gives me reasons to believe that we are continuing our walk towards victory. And it’s deeply appreciated.
The topic of energy came up and this as Biden shuts down the Trump era of new oil leases in Alaska.
…..
SECRETARY BLINKEN: So our focus is on making sure of two things: that energy remains readily available and that there’s sufficient supply on the market to meet demand; and, of course, that this is done at a reasonable price. We are always looking to see what those who are producers and suppliers of energy are doing in terms of that supply and the effects that it’s going to have on the market. So we will look at this carefully in the days and weeks ahead to see the results that it actually produces. You can get an immediate bump in price, but that may quickly settle down to something lower. So it’s something we’ll be looking at, again, with the objective of ensuring that there is sufficient energy on world markets to meet demand and at a fair price.
(So we keep dumping our oil reserve to keep the price artificially down)
US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, slams Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine, claiming he has ‘already lost’.
Minutes after the biggest weekly crude draw in API history, with gasoline prices at 2023 highs and with wholesales gasoline prices exploding higher (guaranteeing that retail pump pries are set to soar), the Biden administration just gave up on its efforts to refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, something we had joked about literally moments earlier. So goes the Zero Hedge Story.
Bunk put out a warning on July 18, but now we learn that it’s even worse than we thought. The largest draw down of our reserves in history.
‘Massive US Oil Caverns’ Are Now Empty, Will Take ‘Decades To Refill’ Thanks To Biden.”
While it took the Biden administration the better part of six months to drain the US oil supply down to a precarious 20-days of emergency reserves (a 40-year low), it will take decades to refill – if that happens at all, Bloomberg reports.
As a reminder, the Biden admin has been drawing down on the SPR for the last 14 weeks and – despite all the promises – has not refilled the “STRATEGIC” political petroleum reserve one little bit.
Umm… API reports that Crude stocks fell 15.4mm barrels last week (yes 15.4!!!) – over 10x expectations. Product inventories also fell as did stocks at the Cushing Hub.
Expectations were for more inventory draws after last week’s across-the-board drop…
API
Crude -15.4mm (-1.3mm exp) – biggest weekly draw on record
Cushing -1.76mm
Gasoline -1.68mm (-1.3mm exp)
Distillates -512k (-100k exp)
Source: Bloomberg
If that holds for the official data released tomorrow that will be the biggest weekly draw in the data’s history (back to 1982)
Source: Bloomberg
So yeah: just 3 weeks after the DOE said it would buy a “whopping” 6 million barrels of sour crude – an amount which the SPR drained every 2 weeks for much of the past year – the Biden administration pulled said offer, an Energy Department spokesperson said on Tuesday, as oil prices are expected to keep rising after a output cut from Saudi Arabia.
What it really means is that the only time the SPR can possibly be refilled is when the US economy plunges into a crippling recession when Bidenomics crashes and burns the moment Biden’s $1+ trillion stimmy no longer flies.
Why is this important? Several months ago when the story of the Chinese balloon was flying across the country, an unknown to me Congressman appeared on the Maria Bartiromo’s program. He had attended a classified briefing on the matter. We heard much that the balloon was covering many of our military bases. His claim was it was following the pipelines. That it was stopping and hovering around sections of the pipelines that had access with internet connection points that could control the flow.
I never could find anything in print or video on the interview. But the story remains with me.
So why are we getting rid of our oil reserves? We read of a massive malware attack going on now. We hear of the Chinese buying large acreages of land next to military bases. We read of Chinese police stations here in the U.S. Hundreds if not thousands of illegal Chinese coming across our border.
Will China and India be willing to forgo the future amenities of electricity to save the planet? Will Africa forgo economic development? All of this for the mirage of global warming? Air conditioning saves lives in India. Millions suffer.
Will Western nations be able to convince Indians to forgo air conditioning (while they sit in their airconed rooms) to “save the planet?”
While we give up our cars.
Anyway, an excerpt from the article:
Naresh Tatavet, a personal driver in Delhi, is among those who’ve had enough. This month, he bought his young family their first AC, calling it one of the biggest financial investments he’s ever made — on par with purchasing a motorbike. In his neighbourhood, after somebody purchases an AC, “we bring them sweets to celebrate.”
Whatever happens in Washington, Brussels and other faraway places, Tatavet is sure of one thing: His family won’t go back. He can no longer watch his baby throw up from the heat. “I don’t want to wake up drenched in sweat anymore,” he said.
The more we think of it the more we are coming to realize that this isn’t a “climate war” rather it is a war between rich and poor nations.
This brought my thoughts back to the WEF meeting in Davos this last January.
What Schwab, Gates, Soros want for us? We will be denied heat, food, electricity, forced to eat bugs…while the master class would live frivolously: Greenpeace Accuses Davos Summit VIPs Of “Hypocrisy” Over Private Jet Use
Kerry shared:
It’s pretty extraordinary, that we a select group of human beings because of whatever touched us at some point in our lives, are able to sit in a room and come together and actually talk about saving the planet. And it’s so almost extraterrestrial to think about quote saving the planet.”
He goes on to say that what most people think about Kerry and others:
Most people think you’re just a crazy, treehugging, lefty, liberal, do-gooder, whatever…”
Yes, I believe he’s right about that.John Kerry, who was selected by President Joe Biden to serve as climate envoy, owns six homes, two yachts, 12 cars, and a private jet.
Masters of the Universe
Just in case we wonder about Manchin. You see, he managed to find his way there too.
Joe Manchin argues against the First Amendment at the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos:
"The problem we have is the open press system and basically all the platforms." pic.twitter.com/c8pX3WN34N
“So that is a serious form of enforcement, if you will, compliance. But there is no penalty for it, obviously, but if there had been a penalty, we wouldn’t have been able to get an agreement.”
On December 14, 2015 I posted this and see if you can follow his logic.
While Energy Secretary Granholm gets most of the attention, it is the Secretary of Interior Haaland that controls all the leases of oil and gas, and more importantly the vast minerals of the U.S. My favorite gal, Interior secretary Haaland presented herself in one of the most extraordinary hearings yesterday that was worth the price of admission. Anyone who has been around Bunkerville knows she never disappoints in her utterances. Without further adieu let the ignorance begin. Sadly, all the wonderful hearings that the House has been having is get zero coverage. P.S. Biden is still drawing down our oil reserves
WATCH: Josh Hawley Flabbergasted By Answer From Deb Haaland
Here we go –
At a Senate Energy Committee hearing on Tuesday, Sen. John Hoeven (R-ND) questioned Sec. Deb Haaland about President Biden’s budget request. Haaland nailed once again.
‘Will You Comply With The Court Order?’: Hoeven Asks Haaland If They Will Continue With Lease Sales.
Haaland has not complied with the law of issuing a five year plan for leases,
Oh this is a good blast from the past!
The coup de grâce – a total disgrace.
Biden’s Interior Secretary Completely Dumbstruck Over Simple Questions on China and Production of Critical Minerals
A deer caught in the headlights who knows nothing.
(Hearing one month ago) – apparently not any wiser today.
Deb Haaland, Secretary of the Interior has been flying below the radar. She has been a very busy Indian Chief dispensing heap big wampum for her fellow Indian tribes. Better yet, she was planted in her position to restrict any further energy development, period. We would know nothing about her except for a hearing yesterday.
The low point comes when Manchin shows Haaland a memo which claims what she said at the hearing when she hasn’t even spoken and essentially bans drilling and yet she claims knows nothing about nor has seen it. Why? Because the law demands leases by June 30. More from Manchin later.
WATCH: Sen. Manchin asks Interior Secretary Deb Haaland about memo cancelling oil drilling leases.
MANCHIN: “It looks like you all are going to shut everything down.”
HAALAND: “I am sorry. I am sitting in this hearing…”
MANCHIN: “My God.”
The coup de grace

Biden Smuggles Corporate Green Welfare Scheme Through New Critical Minerals Agreement with Japan. March 28, 2023 — Press Releases —
WASHINGTON, DC – Without any notice to the American public, the Biden Administration announced today they have entered into a critical minerals agreement with Japan that would send tax dollars to foreign corporations that produce electric vehicles (EVs) and open the door to future payouts to other countries.
How do all of these new “Regulations” effect the Little People who have to live their lives under the boot of the government? Not much more effect than the folks of Santa Monica. Yesterday I posted Biden’s new energy regulations, over one hundred of them, that practically covers everything in your house. From the big items of gas furnaces, gas stoves, room air conditioners and of course we cannot leave that light bulb alone, to your iron. One more time let’s give the light bulb another tweak.
This is the 110th action to strengthen energy efficiency standards that the Administration has taken in 2022. These 110 actions span a range of household products—everything from air conditioners and furnaces, to clothes washers and dryers, to kitchen appliances and water heaters—as well as commercial and industrial equipment.
If we look under the hood to understand the impact on Joe and Betty America we get the translation. The local governments now have caught on to the the power of the “Rules and Regulations” and they are applying them with gusto. No more than in the quaint city of Santa Monica.
Our reader Baysider dropped this off. It is worth a read.
The People’s Republic.
Here in my communist town they just issued their ‘plan’ to electrify the city completely by 2045. This includes the replacement of all gas appliances: heaters, cooktops, ovens, clothes dryer, water heater. Add an outlet for an EV car, and higher insurance costs to cover fire. This adds about 150 more amps to each unit which have already upgraded to the max the power service to the building will allow, which is 75 or 100 amps per unit (it varies). This is expensive!
We recently did 2 of them. $4,000 per panel to do again – plus changing the wiring (cutting major holes in walls and patching, painting) to serve the new appliances. That’s AFTER you fork over $10-20,000 to the power company to increase the size of the drop from their power pole to your building. And dig up the below ground conduits to install larger pipes. So maybe $30-40,000 per unit!
Savings? The city calculates energy savings of $4,500 over 30 years from new style appliances (which have heat pumps that won’t fit our footprint). Nowhere in their calculation did I see the cost of energy expenditures to mine, manufacturer, and ship all those replacement appliances as well as the cost of disposal of working appliances before their expiry. First clue that “net energy” use is only the stalking horse.
MORE If you sell your building after 2028 (5 years) you must complete all these upgrades in order to sell it! No waiting to 2045. But they want new water heaters zero emission this year. So that brings ALL those expenses to bear the minute one has to replace a water heater.
WHAT’S GOING ON
1) a forced transfer of capital away from one party so another party with no investment or risk can feel good about virtue signaling, or
2) a confiscatory policy to force a fire sale for which others benefit (like those swooping in after riots burn down the town to buy things cheap), or
3) plain stupidity anchored in malfeasance?
4) All three.
THE CLUE: On top of that, in California there’s a law afoot to force you to make your first sales offer to a government sponsored agency. Think more’s going on here than ‘energy savings” now?
THE KICKER. The city proposed a rebate to offset the costs: $2,000! Only for “income qualified” recipients.
NAME OF THIS ‘PLAN’: They call it the “Equitable Electrification Roadmap.” Woo-hoo, Equitable! They did not consult building owners or their associations or anyone who will shell out money for this nonsense. Instead they conducted ‘Equitable Community Engagement’ with these groups:
• Santa Monica Black Lives Association (SMBLA)
• Community Corporation of Santa Monica (CCSM) – this is a leftist money pit
• Climate Action Santa Monica (CASM)
This is the city’s link to their PR and the document.
Santa Monica’s Climate Action & Adaptation Plan (CAAP) calls for a 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from existing buildings by 2030. The Existing Building Electrification Roadmap builds on this CAAP goal by putting forth new goals including:
Implement a Building Performance Standards policy by 2025
Limit the installation of new fossil fuel appliances by 2030
Transition all buildings within City-limits to all-electric by 2045
Interesting, but local city council members said “what, were we asleep when this passed?” Two commented they understood it was only for new buildings – a rational position. But I have all their documents discussing ‘existing stock’ and a casual nod to the difficulty that will need “creative tactics and policies.” Hot button words right up there with “warp speed.”
By the way, I promised air conditioning to a new tenant. Called my HVAC guy to get it started yesterday and he told me the quote is no longer good. New rules have made even ones still sitting in warehouses illegal to install. I was told to expect a lot more money. He said they are in reality no better, just more expensive. Sigh….
Clearer now?
A year ago – LACI’s Santa Monica Zero Emissions Delivery Zone
LACI’s zero emissions delivery zone in Santa Monica and we’re excited to see this pilot empowering businesses and decreasing congestion and pollution in the neighborhood. (Of course one wonders what happens to a city “all electric” when the lights go out.)
Jennifer….Start your ban in Colorado – Aspen first, then the other wealthy mountain areas, then do Boulder and Denver and so forth. Out to California. Make sure to start with the wealthy. How about The French Laundry. I want to hear the rich rant at losing their prize kitchens as they voted for this madness, Let their favorite restaurants use electricity. Cook their steaks and heat their woks on electricity.Thanks for ruining out lives.
So, it’s only the high capacity burners that will be banned. Where have I heard this before? Next they will come for the pilot light on our gas hot water heaters.
I will give you a hint. It may have something to do with the weight of the grate….
Good thing there is nothing going on in the world so that we can focus on these important issues.
While we are at it, more deep thoughts from Jenny on behalf of our energy department.
What’s Charging Those Stations? 🤔 | Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm On Gas Prices & EVs
The Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm claims that you will save over $60 every fill up if you just bought a $50,000 electric vehicle. That will not only save you money somehow but also save the planet from those dangerous fossil fuels. Funny though, what is charging the charging stations that fuel EVs? Could it be coal?
By the way, this inflation thingy….

Amy Kelly is the Program Director for the War Room/DailyClout Pfizer Documents Analysis Project. She oversees the approximately 3,250 volunteers who are reviewing, analyzing, and reporting on the court-ordered, FDA-released Pfizer documents, as well as overseeing the approximately 350 volunteer attorneys who are identifying legal actions to be taken based on findings from the Pfizer documents. Additionally, she does research and provides answers to the public’s questions about adverse events found in the documents.
“The speed at which projects progressed through permitting to construction in 2022 was extraordinary, with many projects sprouting up, gaining permits, obtaining financing and breaking ground apparently in a matter of months,” she added.
Throughout 2022, China granted permits for 106 gigawatts of capacity across 82 sites, quadruple the capacity approved in 2021 and equal to starting two large coal power plants each week, said the report. (CNN)
China could care less about it’s climate commitments. It continues to build coal power plants while the US closes ours down.
China has no plans to actually make good on their environmental commitments. While we weaken ourselves to save the planet, they are not. Biden is out celebrating the destruction of our coal plants as we commit economic suicide. Energy needed to supply the much celebrated E.V. market and keeping our energy grid up and running.
The amount of capacity permitted in China in 2022 more than quadrupled from 23 GW in 2021. Of the projects permitted in 2022, 60 GW were not under construction in January 2023, but are likely to start construction soon, indicating even more construction starts in 2023.
Note the slow down during the Trump years.

Biden Celebrates Coal Plant Workers Losing Jobs: “Shutting These Plants DOWN All Across America!”
As for our Transportation Secretary?
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg made the comments during an interview on “CNN This Morning” on 2/28/23
Governor-elect Josh Shapiro announced he is ready to restrict fracking and energy development in Pennsylvania following his win on Tuesday.
Pennsylvania is one of the largest fossil fuel producers in the U.S, accounting for 9% of the country’s total natural gas production. It’s also the third-largest provider of energy to other states
Shapiro now says he supports the recommendations from the state’s investigation (which he implemented) that includes:
** Expand “no-drill” permits making if more difficult to produce natural gas ** Disclose fracking chemicals so companies can be targeted with lawsuits ** Regulate smaller oil and gas pipeline
According to Jeff Flock on FOX Business Network, Shapiro is going to crack down on the state’s vibrant energy sector.
As Attorney General in the state, Shapiro investigated fracking companies in the state which resulted in charges against a couple of drilling companies.
You may wonder where this man Josh Shapiro came from. Actually another Senator-elect Fetterman who drifted below the radar thanks in no small part by the GOP. He should have been an easy pick-off. Presently a Progressive Attorney General for the State who already had gone after the Natural Gas industry with various lawsuits.
Here is the stunner. Mastriano. the Conservative GOP candidate for Governor, was popular and well known having been a major player in GOP politics for years. I had heard of him back in the halcycon days of the Tea Party.Yet I saw not one ad supporting his candidacy. Yet thousands of anti ads from his opposition of the worse possible kind.
At the time I voted on Tuesday, I recognized a candidate at the Mastriano table and asked him why there had been no ads. He indicated to me that the GOP had not given one nickel to his candidacy. All the ads that occurred for him were from friends.
So one has to ask why?A supporter of Nat Gas as opposed to a Progressive State Attorney General Greenie.
Zero ads about Shapiro’s anti-fracking. I add the same with Fetterman. No ads about his public statements of anti-fracking.
From an anti-Mastriano piece:
Mastriano:
Mastriano has unabashedly and loudly called for deregulation of the state’s fossil fuel industries. In March, he introduced the PA Energy Independence Act, which would make it easier for oil, gas, and coal companies to dig for resources throughout the state.
The bill would mandate that the state Department of Environmental Protection review natural gas and coal permits within 45 days, or the permits would automatically be approved as long as they meet certain conditions. It would also lift the Wolf administration’s ban on leases in state parks and forests, establish a cap on permitting fees for fracking wells, and exempt Pennsylvania’s coal industry from federal regulations.
“We need to open more of our lands for fracking and drilling,” wrote Mastriano in an op-ed supporting expanding Pennsylvania’s energy production. “The blessing of Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania is still underutilized with untapped deposits of natural gas.”
“An unrelenting stream of immigration is not a bad thing.” “Non Stop, Non Stop”
In the clip of Biden we get a chilling insight of exactly what Biden had/has in mind. The “Great Replacement.”
We get our first glimpse of the future foot soldier DHS one Alejandro Mayorkas right by his side.
He said this while Vice President during Obama’s tenure in 2015. The only thing that interrupted their plan was Trump getting in the way for four years. Note sitting on his left is Secretary of homeland security is Alejandro Mayorkas,
Joe Biden: “Whites will be a Minority in US by 2017 – and that’s a good Thing” “By 2017, those of us of European stock will be an absolute minority in the United States of America,” Biden said at a State Department luncheon for Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff. Biden added that that’s “not a bad thing, that’s a good thing” because it means the country is becoming more “diverse”.
The U.S. Census Bureau revealed that in 2014, minorities made up a majority of children under five years of age in the United States for the first time. The interview is from 2015, but it was worth uploading since it doesn’t seem to have gotten much exposure.
Here is the case for any undecided voters out there, to reflect on Biden’s own words and his true intentions of destroying America as we know it. Immigration, Energy, Inflation. A group of short clips for a refresher.
Then we have his plan on energy.
While speaking on coal plants and the future they will have in America Joe has a bit of a slip up to say the least. As of recently as Friday Biden was on his anti-fossil fuel rant.

This isn’t looking good.
Of course I cannot conclude the post with the latest from Pennsylvania. This with both of them reading from a prompter.
Joe Biden & John Fetterman both spoke at a Rally in Pennsylvania last Friday.
The Dems poured in millions of dollars into the GOP primaries in order to knock out moderate candidates thinking that strong conservative candidates would be easier to knock off. Be careful what you wish for. We have a group of true conservative candidates that may be able to right this ship if elected. We can only pray so. Because all the bad stuff happening now is directly caused by the desire of the Biden Administration.
