Americans’ Real Wages Decline by Almost 2% Amid Rising Inflation, Data Show

Federal data from the American Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that the wage of the average American has declined by nearly two per cent, amid rising inflation.

The Daily Wire reports that the Bureau of Labor Statistics found that the average hourly earnings in the United States rose from $29.35 in June 2020 to $30.40 in June 2021 — a marked 3.6 per cent increase. However, due to soaring inflation in the Consumer Price Index, which has risen by 5.3 per cent since last June, “real average hourly earnings” have in fact diminished by 1.7 per cent over the same period.

To put the figure in context, an American earning $50,000 a year will see the equivalent of an $850 cut in yearly wages.

GDP Huge Miss: Economy Grew Just 6.5% in Q2, Far Below 8.5% Expected on Surprise Inventory Drop

Today’s first estimate of Q1 GDP growth is expected to show the US economy growing at a whopping 8.5% rate as government aid and vaccinations fuelled spending. The problem, as discussed recently, is that it’s all downhill from here with Goldman recently slashing its GDP outlook and expecting growth to slide to a muted trendlike 1.5%-2.0% by the end of 2022. Of course, as Bloomberg’s Laura Cooper notes, slowing momentum from an exceptionally strong level doesn’t mean a stalled recovery with the Atlanta Fed’s nowcast still pointing to still-robust activity in July. High-frequency gauges suggest consumer spending remains strong. And solid job gains can extend as workers return to the workforce, with the labor market outlook “very strong”, according to Powell. Of course, risks remain given stumbles towards herd immunity with only half of the country fully vaccinated. And hesitancy is becoming a more prominent risk. But while the variant spread alongside rising infection rates can slow the recovery, it’s unlikely to derail it — even if more data surprises are in store.

American Postal Workers Union Comes Out Against Vaccine Mandates

The American Postal Workers Union has come out against vaccine mandates for its workers, as the Biden administration plans to announce mandatory vaccinations for federal employees.

In a statement, the union representing over 220,000 postal workers wrote, “Maintaining the health and safety of our members is of paramount importance.”

“While the APWU leadership continues to encourage postal workers to voluntarily get vaccinated, it is not the role of the federal government to mandate vaccinations for the employees we represent.”

Arizona Auditors Have Finished Counting Ballots in Maricopa County, Audit Findings Will Now be Analyzed

A third count of ballots has been completed in Maricopa County, Arizona, as auditors remained diligent in their work despite the censorship of the audit by Big Tech giants on social media. The third count of ballots was required because the findings in the first count did not match the numbers reported in the 2020 election by Arizona officials.

Arizona Senate President Karen Fann reportedly told the Epoch Times, “The physical tabulation of the ballots are complete and are being returned to Maricopa County tomorrow.” After completion of the physical tabulation, the cumulative data found in the audit will now be analyzed in data analysis labs.

Biden Mandates All Federal Workers Must be Vaccinated… Except Postal Workers

Earlier in the week Biden suggested that those who are yet to be vaccinated are “sowing enormous confusion.”

“We have a pandemic because of the unvaccinated, and they’re sowing enormous confusion,” Biden said.

“And there’s only one thing we know for sure, if those other 100 million people got vaccinated, we’d be in a very different world. So get vaccinated. If you haven’t, you’re not nearly as smart as I said you were.”

California’s Privacy Law is Targeting Analytics

Some clarity is emerging around the scope of California’s Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) enforcement, which has been in force since early 2020. It wasn’t immediately clear if the new law would deal only with data breaches or would also cover privacy violations that are “powered” by cookies, and analytics and other trackers.

The answer seems to be that both types of privacy undermining practices used by social networks, tech firms, advertisers and data brokers are not allowed, at least according to enforcement letters signed by California’s Attorney General Rob Bonta, writes the Digiday trade magazine.

Specifically, if a social network collects and shares personal data obtained from online tracking of users via third parties, it will be considered as non-compliant unless users are notified or given the opportunity to opt-out.

City of Austin Approved $10,000 Per Day Critical Race Theory Training for Police Department

The City of Austin has contracted the services of a systemic racism training group for $10,000 per day for instruction of the Austin Police Department (APD) as part of its “reimagining” of police initiative.

The contract with Joyce James Consulting (JJC) may be extended for up to five years and is not to exceed $2.9 million in total payment. In total, the contract provides for 58 days of consultation by JJC in the first year.

Founded by Joyce James, a former Associate Deputy Executive Commissioner of the Center for the Elimination of Disproportionality and Disparities of the Texas Department of Health and Human Services, JJC provides “an interactive, revolutionary exploration into how systems of racism work.”

Florida County School Board Votes to Require Indoor Masks, Rejecting Desantis’ Position

Not every Floridian is onboard with Gov. Ron DeSantis’ rejection of mask mandates. One Florida county school board is planning to require masks to be worn in schools, directly contradicting DeSantis’ position on mandating the face huggers for children.

Although widely unpopular in the United States, support for mask mandates has been largely led by teachers’ unions who have, across various states, demanded hazard pay and a pause on in-person teaching.

At a meeting on Wednesday, the Broward County school board voted to require masks when schools reopen next month. According to the Hill, the school board “voted to require indoor masking inside schools, social distancing protocol inside classrooms and seating capacity limits on school buses.”

MyPillow Employee Beheaded in Minnesota, Suspect Identified and Arrested

Police officers in Shakopee, Minnesota arrived yesterday afternoon to the aftermath of a beheading of a MyPillow employee. Witnesses saw the attack as it happened, and purported video footage documenting the act cropped up online.

Today, authorities confirmed they detained an alleged perpetrator. They apprehended him within an hour by following on a description given by one of the first responders.

The details from local reporting by FOX 9 identified the beheading victim as 55-year-old America Mafalda Thayer. They cite a search warrant describing how investigators found a large knife sheath in a “nearby yard,” as well as coming across a knife in a trash can near the area.

“The victim’s head was lying next to the body,” is what’s described.

As for the suspect? “FOX 9 does not typically identify suspects until they are formally charged,” the outlet says.

However, the press release announcement does name them. They’re named as 42-year-old Alexis Saborit, held in custody at Scott County Jail on second-degree murder charges.

No Worse Vision for the World Than the One Shown in John Lennon’s “Imagine”, Says American Bishop

John Lennon’s “Imagine”, a 20th century pop culture classic, was played during the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Tokyo. It has now been met with harsh criticism from Los Angeles auxiliary bishop Robert Barron.

Barron, who is one of the most media-active prelates in the United States, wrote a commentary for the New York Post in which he described the former Beatles member’s song as “one of the worst pop songs of all time”.

He added that, while he loved The Beatles and Lennon, he was regretful that he had to write about the song in such a manner.

“It pains me to say this, but it’s true: While its melody and arrangement are indeed beautiful, the lyrics are an invitation to moral and political chaos,” he explained.

“The bill would amend Section 230 of the Communications Act to provide that immunity does not apply to ‘certain companies’ and would require internet platform companies to ‘implement and maintain reasonable and user-friendly appeals processes for decisions about content on the platforms,’“ the outlet continued.

Czechs Are More Cautious of COVID-19 This Summer

Czechs are currently more cautious than last summer regarding the risk of COVID-19 infection. The average number of personal contacts in July was around 19 per week. Last year it was 23.

This information is based on the next stage of the “Life during the pandemic” survey of the company PAQ Research. According to sociologist Daniel Prokop, however, the number of people being tested has also decreased in the last month, as about 12 percent of people completely reject vaccinations.

According to Prokop, the survey showed that people are protecting themselves from COVID-19 more than in the summer of 2020. For example, last summer about 30 percent of people wore some type of facemask, and now the proportion is about 70 percent.

The Supreme Administrative Court (SAC) annulled an order from the Ministry of Health ordering the wearing of respiratory protective equipment indoors or in public transport. The Ministry of Health was given three days by the court to correct the measures to meet the legal conditions.

The Supreme Administrative Court “concluded that the challenged emergency measure is unreviewable”, states the verdict, which abolishes the mandatory wearing of respirators in shops, restaurants, medical facilities, schools, theaters, galleries, or public transport.

The court was taken aback by the fact that the ministry had repeatedly ignored its decision. The court said that next time it could cancel the measure immediately, without delay.

Hungary Will Boycott Durban U.N. Conference — Here’s Why

The United Kingdom announced at the end of June that it would boycott a U.N. event in September named the Durban Conference, actually held in New York, citing “past anti-Semitism”. The conference is similarly boycotted by the United States, Canada, and Australia; within the EU, the boycott was first announced by Hungary, followed by Austria, the Netherlands, and the Czech Republic.

The original conference, which the current event seeks to commemorate, was held in 2001 in Durban, South Africa. The official title of the U.N. event at the time was the World Conference against Racism, but contrary to its declared purpose, it became primarily a forum for accusations against Israel by third-world dictators, and the adopted statement severely discriminated against the Jewish state.

Dutch Government Secretly Negotiated Nord Stream 2 With Russians

Polish public television news channel TVP Info correspondent to Brussels Dominika Cosic reported that the Netherlands had officially broken off relations with Russia in 2014, following the shooting down of a Malaysian MH17 aircraft which had mostly Dutch passengers. The plane was shot down over Eastern Ukraine by Russian separatists.

Nevertheless, the Dutch government continued to have unofficial talks with Russia, and this included important affairs such as the participation of Dutch companies in the construction of Nord Stream 2 (NS2).

“In this way, PM Mark Rutte’s government lied to not only the public, but also to the Dutch parliament. It is this lying to parliament which caused such a political firestorm in the Netherlands,” Cosic wrote.

The accused Zakir is now interim bail and trying to remove all the evidences under his personal influence to escape from the charges, as alleged by the Hindu organizations.

The victim Hindu woman has complained against the Muslim occultist (Tanrtik) of cheating, rape and forced conversion to the Shahdara Police authority of Delhi, as reported by ABP News.The niece of the woman has also complained against zakir separately.

The victim woman narrated her ordeal that she first met the Muslim occultist in 2005, following an epileptic attack. At that time, she was just 10 years old and was taken to Zakir for ‘healing treatment’ at the suggestion of a relative. The accused started visiting her house frequently and managed to win the trust of her family members including setting a ‘Gaddi of Khwaja Baba’ (seat of a Muslim Peer). Zakir, who lived in the Jyoti colony near Durgapuri Chowk, then sexually exploited her on multiple occasions by rapping her as an ‘action of Devil’ and also targeted her minor niece for his sexual bestiality.

While speaking to ABP News, the victim said, “My father and mother were both school teachers. But my mother had died by that time. Zakir won the trust of family members and would often suggest ‘healing treatment’ for my health condition. He would extort money from us in the name of ‘animal sacrifice (bali)’ and misled by family into believing that Satan must be pleased for my cure. He raped me for the first time when I was just 13 years old. Zakir claimed that the heinous act was the work of ‘Satanic forces’ and continued to rape me for years. I had to undergo abortions four times.”…

Just Like in China, Citizens in the West Are Now Inventing Codewords to Bypass Online Censorship

The West has imported yet another “product” from China: this time it’s the use of code words on social media to avoid censorship around COVID topics, vaccination in particular.

While in the minority, some people are COVID vaccine skeptics, but they are not allowed to have discussions about that on the world’s biggest social media network. Now reports say that in order to fool the censors, users are substituting some keywords with other expressions, thus being able to have a conversation.

Australia Calls in Military to Enforce Lockdown

Authorities in Australia have called in the military to occupy parts of Sydney and enforce the country’s latest draconian COVID-19 lockdown.

Hundreds of military personnel will be drafted in to patrol the country’s largest city despite coronavirus cases remaining in the low hundreds per day, far lower than other developed nations like the UK that have lifted some of the restrictions.

It remains to be seen whether the troops will be used to police protesters, hundreds of thousands of whom hit the streets of major cities last weekend to demonstrate against the measures.

Powerful Sydney Freedom Day Protest Video They Don’t Want You to Watch

Over the weekend, tens of thousands rallied in Sydney to protest the ongoing and escalating NSW lockdown.

And like clockwork, the media demonised and vilified all who attended the Freedom Day March by focusing on a tiny minority misbehaving.

But we knew that was going to happen, so Rebel News sent a camera crew to bring you the other side of the story. We don’t yet have a reporter on the ground to conduct interviews as I do in Melbourne. So if you think you have what it takes, and you’re based in Sydney, please click here to apply for the job!

For now, watch and share what our camera crew captured, including the heartbreaking pleas from everyday Aussies of all backgrounds.

Denmark Facing Lawsuit for Trying to Deport Syrian Migrants

In July 2020, Danish Integration Minister Mattias Tesfaye asked the country’s Immigration Service to review residence permits for hundreds of Syrian refugees, in a move based on the idea that the war in Syria is effectively over and they don’t need protection.

Denmark’s current attempts to return scores of Syrians to Damascus may prompt other countries to follow suit, lawyers from the group Guernica 37 has warned.

The organisation added that they are preparing a lawsuit against the Danish government, which will be submitted to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR).

Refugees and migrants in camps on the French coast have described how they will do anything to reach Britain — even face death.

Their determination to reach the UK is despite attempts by the Home Office to discourage them from making the journey, including social media ads urging them not to come.

About 2,000 people are reportedly living in northern France, many sleeping rough in camps around Calais and Dunkirk, as they wait to cross the English Channel in small boats or by stowing away in lorries.

UK: Lifeboats Boss Defends Channel Migrant Pick-UPS as ‘Humanitarian Work of the Highest Order’

The CEO of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) has defended the charity’s operations picking up boat migrants in the English Channel as “humanitarian work of the highest order”.

Mark Dowie, who spent roughly eight years with the Royal Navy and close to 20 as an executive with various banks including Baring Brothers, Standard Chartered, and UBS, made the comments after RNLI crew and migrants were allegedly heckled by members of the public frustrated with the government’s persistent failure to stop the ever-increasing waves of boat migrants months after Brexit and years after it was first declared a “major incident” by then-Home Secretary Sajid Javid back in 2018.

  1. Your Jihad coefficient appears to be maxing out on this newsday post!

    These pieces of scum need to be destroyed in the most painful and humiliating way so that the rest know what awaits them isn’t the vision of a council flat, weekly paycheck for sitting on your [fundament] and improved by drug dealing, while you pork any stray white meat below the age of 18 knowing that you will get off scot free and become the envy of your brethren living in Africa or the middle east.

    These things are not human. They are vermin and should be treated as such.

    • Orcs gonna orc.

      The ones that truly need to be dealt with reside in the upper reaches of wealth and power; those elites who instigated or approved the continuation of the madness and orc importation from the cesspools of the Third World. Only then will it be possible to do something about the orcs that will be permanent.

      • yes, this is the right way. I did some research on a family of billionaires and found out where they live. You are in for a surprise: gated properties in the finest parts of the world, bank accounts in tax havens and what have you. But who would not want to live in one of the upscale canyons in the hills of Hollywood or with a view on Carmel,CA?
        Sta. Barbara is not that bad a place either, is it?

    • Saint Vlad “Lord Impaler” Tepes had the right way of dealing with them. To this day, the bloody muslims still fear his return.

  2. “‘It’s Not Possible to Stop Us’: The Desperate Migrants on French Coast Ready to Die to Reach Britain”

    So…can they just let them?
    Sounds like a solution anyway.

    • I agree.

      In fact we should help them get their share of virgins faster.

      Mine the Channel and mine the beaches. Make Mines Great Again

      • Ooops! Too late. Who said there is no such thing as the free ride? Maybe not for the non-Muslim taxpayers and their fellow countrymen. For the Muslim “nation/race” within the fifth sixth and seventh columns? Oh yes there is! Across the world the word is
        Is out, “grass, gas and *ss – every body rides free!” See me at mask.

      • Nothing some good ole fashioned old German E-Boats and a rough hard crew to take care of the problem. Once the pictures of all the floating dead orcs is shown, they will quit trying to reach the free money.

  3. The Russian Orthodox Church follows the path of dhimmitud

    The ROC positively assessed the idea of creating separate carriages for women in public transport in Russia, which has long been used in a number of Islamic countries, including Iran.

    https://islamnews.ru/news-v-rpts-privetstvovali-opyt-islamskikh-stran-po-zashchite-zhenshchin-na-transporte

    You often publish articles about the pacification of Muslims by Christian churches in Europe.
    Things are much worse in Russia. The assertion that Orthodox Christians pray with Muslims to one god has long been mainstream.

    I am not publishing all the articles on this topic, you just have to take my word for it.

    There were several famous Orthodox figures in Russia (fortunately, God had already taken them to him), one argued that Russia should catch up with Iran by faith. Another, in the manner of the Taliban, argued that girls at school had nothing to do.

    I know that you are believers here, and you will be greatly distressed by my statement that Orthodox priests should be released from time to time to fly from the bell towers. (The Germans will understand me, they survived it during the Reformation)

    In the 17th century, they destroyed all secular literature and music in Russia. During the Mongol-Tatar yoke, they prayed for the health of the Mongol khans. During the occupation, they prayed for Hitler.
    When a Russian aristocrat traded peasant children for pedigree puppies, they humbled the peasants with statements “Christ endured torment and told you to endure.”
    It was they who dragged into the legislation an article on criminal prosecution for “insulting the feelings of believers” already in the new Russia. Muslims now benefit from this Sharia article.

    • Continuing the topic. Article 2019.

      Islamic World League and Russian Orthodox Church agree on cooperation

      “Orthodox and Muslims belong to the same Eastern culture. As for Russia, we are aware of ourselves as a single people, regardless of religious affiliation, be it Orthodox or Muslim. And Russia, of course, can be an example of good relations, cooperation, interaction between Orthodox Christians and Muslims for many countries, ”the press service of the Russian Orthodox Church quotes, in particular, Patriarch Kirill.

  4. “Germany: Jewish Leader Warns Against Cooperation With AfD”

    I’ll bet that plenty of German Jews are happy voting for AfD. I certainly would be.

    “Official” Jewish organizations are often very disconnected from the real Jewish community. Frankly, a lot of them remind me of our supposedly elected officials in their behaviour.

    • Just goes to show that just because one is Jewish doesn’t automatically mean one’s intelligent.

      Of course in this particular instance it likely has more to do with an overabundance of education leading to a dearth of common sense.

    • This is the only party AFD, who can stop this barbaric madness created by Merkel&CO and others traitors in Bundestag!! This Jews who said about AFD bad things are propaganda DDR -Merkel&CO, big time, vote AFD that’s the only hope. !!

    • I really do laugh at people who truly believe they are going to vote their way out of this mess, I really hate to rain on everyones parade but, you are going to have to get off your backsides and fight your way out of it.

  5. So Biden is going to mandate that Federal employees take a genetic therapy that has not been approved by the FDA and for which the manufacturer will not accept liability.

    I wonder how that’s going to work out?

    • Hey, if Biden wants to risk a massive reduction in federal workers, who am I to disagree?

      Cheers.

  6. For the Brits in particular :
    Focus your anger at the people you vote into office.

    Go to your local representative and argue your case with him. If he condescends then start a local voters’ group and be sure to tell the SOB you want him out of office. Don’t give the guy an even break. Hound him (the Left shows us how) until he resigns or comes across.

    In other words, get off [your backside] and do what needs to be done. And arm up incase that doesn’t work. I know you Brits are gun-shy but one day you may need them, badly.

  7. Oh, my. What a mess in Europe. It’s too bad their leaders are not very bright. But when they vote, they get what they asked for. At least that is how I look at it. I didn’t vote for that senile old groper Biden into the office so I just ignore the jackass. He is a disgrace to the Presidency but there is nothing we can do about it until the next election. I plan to vote for Trump then. I think he was the best president since Eisenhower. Yes, I can remember back that far because I am pretty old.

    Great job, Baron!!
