They;re lying. They either just have daddy issues involving dictators or they have idiotic daydreams of becoming the dictator themselves. I’ve read volumes of their so-called arguments in favor of “unitary executive” and they’re disingenuous as hell. Every single one.

There’s indifference, and then there’s the amount of shit that DonOLD and his gang churn out each and every day. The only fitting memorial to Donald J Trump is to name each and every sewer treatment plant after him.

Wholesale inflation was hotter than expected in January as tariffs threaten to push up prices for consumers | CNN Business

The prices businesses pay to each other took a sharp turn higher in January, new data showed Friday, indicating that more tariff-related price increases could be still to come.

The Producer Price Index rose 0.5% last month, a pickup from December’s 0.4% rate, according to the latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The annual rate of inflation nudged down to 2.9% from 3%.

Economists were expecting wholesale inflation to increase by 0.3%, which would have resulted in a 2.6% annual rate.

US stocks moved sharply lower Friday morning, with investors fearing the hotter-than-expected inflation report could lead the Federal Reserve to keep its rate-cutting cycle on pause.

When excluding food and energy, the core PPI gauge (which provides a measure of the underlying inflation trend) picked up sharply. Prices rose 0.8% versus 0.6% in December to bring the annual rate to 3.6%, the highest in 10 months.

Other details in Friday’s report further corroborated the idea that President Donald Trump’s steep and sweeping tariffs continued to drive prices higher for US businesses, which in turn eventually leads to higher prices for consumers, Reid said.

Also the period (starting earlier) when ragtime became popular. Scott Joplin had similar ambitions for African-American music. As I learned while researching something else entirely, academics and music critics were also beginning to take that music, in many of its forms, seriously, including a music critic for the Boston Globe who wrote about it in the paper and wrote the introduction to an academic survey, written by a white woman, of African-American music. The Harlem Renaissance (and other black “renaissances”) would soon be underway. Note, too, NAACP founded in 1909. All this even as Jim Crow intensified. Always the maelstrom.

Well, you know, his dad hired a college dropout Epstein to teach math and physics to wealthy New Yorkers’ teenage children – so Daddy Barr MUST have had some kind of sick and deeply hidden agenda (allegedly involving the CIA, I’ve read)…and the Bill apple didn’t fall far from that tree.

The Ken Burns series on Jazz covers that time period really well, including the tragic death of James Reese Europe:

News of Europe’s death spread fast. Composer and band leader W. C. Handy wrote: “The man who had just come through the baptism of war’s fire and steel without a mark had been stabbed by one of his own musicians … The sun was in the sky. The new day promised peace. But all the suns had gone down for Jim Europe, and Harlem didn’t seem the same.” Europe was granted the first ever public funeral for a black American in the city of New York.
