Nearly 80% of Americans now consider fast food a ‘luxury’ due to high prices.

Has a trip through the drive-through become an extravagance? The vast majority of Americans say so. A recent survey conducted by LendingTree found 78% of consumers now consider fast food to be a “luxury” purchase due to how expensive the meals have become.

75% percent of those surveyed stated fast food should be cheaper than eating at home, but most say that is not the case. Nearly a quarter of Americans say a meal at a fast-food restaurant costs more than at a traditional sit-down restaurant.

Columnist Dan O’Donnell wrote in a blog post on Thursday that prices on “basic items like McDonald’s cheeseburgers and Chick-fil-A nuggets have risen as much as 200% in less than five years.

Another example of Bidenomics at work.

The attacks on Christianity continue. Since the 1960s, the Knights of Columbus have held a Memorial Day event at the Poplar Grove National Cemetery in Petersburg, VA.

For the last two years, however, The National Park Service (NPS) has refused permission for the event due to a new policy prohibiting “religious services” and calling the ceremony to honor this nation’s fallen heroes a “demonstration.”

Sanctions

The sanctions regime that the US and other western countries are engaging in against Russia is just BS. The hour-long conversation with Péter Szijjártó is an evisceration of the lies, fraud and media spin that form the epicenter of the “great pretending” era. This is no different than the “sanctions” that Biden imposed on China this week. These steps are done for political reasons. The media spins the events as good standing up to evil when the media knows all about the hypocrisy of what is happening.

Just how far gone is President Biden? His recent “challenge” to PDJT about debating took at least five separate takes to get a usable video.

Biden couldn’t hold it together for 13 seconds!? Will there be a drug test prior to the debates? It has been reported that the Capitol police have recovered more cocaine.

Democrat Rep. Ayanna Pressley went on a racist rant against white men on the House floor on Wednesday.

Biden Gets Tough With China

This is a joke, of course. China has way too much money invested in this administration for this administration to take any meaningful steps against China’s drive towards world dominance.

Some sanity is returning to some aspects of the justice system. The Supreme Court has ruled that an Idaho ban on transgender procedures on minors can stand—while a court trial drags on. This law prevents the use of drugs and surgeries that alter the normal function of children’s bodies.

Joe Biden on Tuesday arrived in Tampa, Florida to attack the 6-week abortion ban during remarks at Hillsborough Community College’s Dale Mabry campus. Of course, this is the Democrats’ position. Unborn children are fair game to be killed at any time. Somehow the Democrats believe it is a constitutional right for a mother to kill her children.

On Tuesday virtually no one cared that Joe Biden was in Tampa. The comparison with Trump is astounding.

Crooked Joe Biden in Florida vs. President Trump in Florida ...

The Key bridge collapse is and will be in the news cycle for some time to come. A question comes to mind over the sequence of events.

Farmers

One of the great things about the farmers’ rebellion in Europe is that it is unrelenting. Protests continue across the continent. Of course, Big Media here does not report on such things. They do not want to give farmers here the same idea about how to confront the government.
