Breitbart Business Digest: The Fed’s Tariff Math Doesn’t Add Up to Inflation

Its sample covers just 20 percent of the consumer basket. - John Carney

• It’s widely being read as showing that tariffs have pushed up consumer prices, with many reports claiming that goods inflation ran 2.9 percentage points higher because of tariffs.
• In reality, however, the paper shows no such thing.

In the first place, the paper does not show and does not even claim that tariffs pushed up overall inflation by 2.9 percentage points.
Its sample covers just 20 percent of the consumer basket.
Translate the estimate into a contribution to overall consumer prices and you get roughly six-tenths of a percentage point, before accounting for anything happening elsewhere in the economy...

The idea that tariffs drove overall inflation higher is challenged by the fact that over the year the paper studies, inflation actually fell...

Victor Davis Hanson: The Trump Doctrine: No More Free Defense for Ungrateful Allies

He’s basically saying this: There’s a pattern to all of this. - Victor Davis Hanson

• South Korea has a very left-wing government. It’s been very critical of us and Iran. So he said, well, I don’t know why we have 50,000 troops there. I don’t understand—35,000 maybe now. Maybe we should take some out.
• Germany has been very critical of us and wouldn’t … And so he said, Well, in Poland, let’s take, start with five and put them in Poland.
• Spain has been very critical. Well, we’ve helped, we poured billions of dollars in this base, but maybe we should just get out of there.
• Same thing with Britain, whether it’s [Keir] Starmer or Burnham. That’s the same left-wing socialists on reliability, and you can’t deal with that government...

Maybe if they want to invite us back in. 

• But Trump’s attitude is that we don’t want to spend billions of dollars and take criticism to protecting people who won’t protect themselves...

'I can't wait': Muslim terror attack planned for Mall of America thwarted by DOJ, FBI * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh: 

Federal authorities have thwarted what they have described as a plan to launch a terror attack on Minnesota's Mall of America, that shopping behemoth located in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area that has been beset by Somali social services fraud cases in recent months and years.

France’s riots are no ordinary protests — they’re an intifada in the heart of Europe

A firefighter engulfed in flames as a youthful mob watches and laughs. - Brendan O'Neill

• A teacher doused in gasoline by guffawing thugs as his beloved school burns to the ground.
• A woman’s face set alight by a masked goon with a makeshift flamethrower.
• Two dozen schools burned and ransacked; cars flipped upside down; buses and fire engines savagely smashed.

It sounds like a montage from a dystopian horror movie — but it’s happening right now in France.
What started late last month as a protest about underfunded public schools has morphed into an orgy of Islamo-leftist violence.
Paris and other cities are now awash with foreign flags as throngs of unassimilated youths scream their hatred for France itself.
“In the name of Allah, we can kill them all,” barked one masked thug, to the mob’s demented glee.
We are witnessing something extraordinary: an intifada in the heart of Europe...

Rubio celebrates Western exceptionalism, warns that civilization is at an 'inflection point' | Blaze Media: 

In a speech Wednesday at the Acropolis in Athens, Rubio emphasized the imperative for America and other Western nations to unapologetically pursue national power; prioritize their own people; cease feeling guilty for being exceptional; and reclaim the "classical understanding" that "power requires not only having the means to defend yourself; it requires the credibility that you are willing to use it."

Same as Adolf did. They're telling us what they're going to do. LISTEN to them!

By now it’s obvious that the Democrats and their communications team that is also known as the legacy media are going to use the last month before the midterm elections to push the idea that were in a slump and Republicans need to be thrown out of office because it’s Donald Trump’s economy. - I & I Editorial Board

• On Sept. 26, House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries claimed that “Republican policies have tanked the economy” and the American people are aware of it. “Time for dramatic change,”...

Yet prices and economic struggles are almost without exception created by Democrats’ tax heavy and regulate hard policies...

The truth this time around shows that during Trump’s second term, with Republicans controlling both chambers of Congress, 

• inflation “has been 2.9%, which is 41% below the 5% average under (Joe) Biden and 55% below the 6.5% average under Biden while Democrats controlled both the House and Senate,”...
• Meanwhile, real median household income “grew from $85,210 to $87,460 during the first year of Trump’s second term, or by 2.6%, which is 445% higher than the average annual growth rate of 0.5% under Biden,” 
• and the poverty rate is the lowest ever recorded in our nation’s history.
• Real median household income is also at the best mark in our history...
• Martin further points out that child poverty is now at 13.4%, “the lowest official rate ever recorded,” 
• Hispanic poverty has fallen to a record low of 13.9%, and 
• “real weekly earnings for blue-collar manufacturing workers are up 4.1% since January 2025” while “construction workers’ earnings are up an even higher 5%.”...

Watch: Tom Homan Leaves CBS Journalist Speechless, Frozen on Camera With Simple ICE Question He Can't Answer: 

It’s not as if these people know what they’re talking about, though. As if to prove it, in an interview with border czar Tom Homan, a CBS journalist was stumped when he was asked how many people died in ICE custody under the Biden administration — despite the fact he’d just given a long, data-sodden spiel about how many people had died in ICE custody under Donald Trump’s presidency.

The modern left has constructed a political suicide machine.

Progressives have abandoned every pretense of championing women and protecting children, chaining themselves to an ideological radicalism that repulses the American mainstream.  - Bill Brindley

...We simply point to their fanatical commitment to

•  placing biological males in female sports and
•  injecting healthy children with experimental cross-sex hormones. 

This is the cleanest, most devastating political lane available to the right today. 

It circumvents partisan gridlock entirely, exposing a profound progressive sickness that strikes at the deepest biological instincts of voters...

1 can of Spam for $120.

Food stamps have become the new ATM for fraudsters as they partner with local businesses to commit the fraud as they trade SNAP cards like Pokémon cards on the streets.  - Nick shirley@nickshirleyy
Across America food stamp fraud is happening everywhere. 

It has become a billion dollar fraudulent industry as taxpayers fund the $100 billion program. 

• We caught a fraudster on the streets of Seattle as she attempted to buy a can of spam and sushi for $120 in a food stamp for cash exchange, it’s a billion dollar fraudulent scheme stealing from the poor and hungry. 
• This is a must watch and is happening everywhere. 

EXPOSE AND SHUT IT ALL DOWN.
