U.S. consumer prices jumped by the most in nearly four decades as the new year started, sapping the savings of American families, diminishing the purchasing power of worker paychecks, and putting pressure on the Federal Reserve to hike interest rates beginning in March.
The consumer price index climbed 0.6 percent from a month before, the Department of Labor said Thursday. Compared with January of last year, consumer prices are up 7.5 percent.
Economists had expected prices to rise 0.4 percent on a monthly basis and 7.2 percent above a year ago’s prices.
“And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A [d]quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.” Rev. 6:6
Although many economists and anti-Trump journalists claimed President Donald Trump’s tariffs would raise prices, consumer prices remained low throughout his administration. Trump’s tariffs turned out not to be taxes on consumers. Instead, they were absorbed by Chinese producers and exporters and the profit margins of most large U.S. companies.
Inflation only began to accelerate last March after years of coming in below the Fed’s two percent target.

Assessment: Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) tweeted on the absurdity of it all, “Last week, Biden talked about being tough on crime. This week, the Biden Admin announced funds for crack pipe distribution to ‘advance racial equity.”
The Biden administration is planning on funding the distribution of crack pipes to drug addicts in underserved communities in the name of “advancing racial equity” via a $30 million grant program that will be implemented by nonprofits and local governments.
The Washington Free Beacon is reporting that the practice is included in the Department of Health and Human Services’ fiscal year 2022 Harm Reduction Program Grant program. The program describes in a document the crack pipe distribution plan as the dispersion of federal government funds for “smoking kits/supplies.”
A spokesman told the media outlet that the grant money will supply addicts with safer crack pipes for smoking crack cocaine, crystal methamphetamine, or “any illicit substance.” The spokesperson also justified the move by claiming the pipes will reduce users’ chances of becoming infected which is common among crack addicts.
An HHS spokesman refused to say what is included in the smoking kits. Similar distribution efforts have reportedly provided mouthpieces to prevent glass cuts, rubber bands to prevent burns, and filters to minimize the risk of disease.
“There is a way that seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death.” Proverbs 14:12
NAMES of politicians involved that signed off on this should be made public! Funding CRACK PIPES and drug equipment for “safety” is pure insanity!!
And when a long blast is sounded on the shofar—as soon as you hear that sound of the shofar—all the people shall give a mighty shout. Thereupon the city wall will collapse, and the people shall advance, every man straight ahead.” Joshua 6:5 (The Israel BibleTM)
On Sunday, Pastor Henry Hildebrand addressed the massive gathering of people who joined with the Freedom Convoy of trucks at Parliament Hill in Ottawa to protest the government’s mandate requiring truckers to be vaccinated.
Inspired by the enthusiastically honking trucks, Pastor Hildebrandt compared the convoy to the Biblical story of Jericho.
“I say Jericho did not know who had come to Jericho, and there was quite a bit of honking there as well,” Pastor Hildebrandt said, referring to the story of Joshua leading the Hebrews against the city with blasts from shofars.
“I have heard the trumpet blowing this week,” the pastor continued. “This week has been ordained of God. This happening is God-ordained, and it is not just for Canada; it is global. It is prophetic. God is in it. Long before man plans a reset, God is resetting. Never underestimate God’s mighty power.”
The pastor emphasized that just as the shofars brought down the might walls of Jericho, allowing the Children of Israel to conquer the city, the horns of the truck would bring down the government and its pandemic decrees.
“Mr. Prime Minister, if you don’t want to heed to the word of God; if you don’t want to heed to the 25 bible verses that are engraved (in the Parliament), you might have a fringe come and knock at your door.”

Assessment: An IDF spokesperson declines to comment on the Syrian report of an initial Israeli attack near the Syrian capital, which reportedly kills one soldier and wounded five. At around 1:00 am, an explosion is reported over the so-called “Triangle” region in Israel …
The IDF said it attacked batteries in Syria early Wednesday after an anti-aircraft missile was fired towards Israel during what Syrian state television reported was an earlier strike around Damascus.
“Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city,
And it will be a ruinous heap.” Isaiah 17:1
An IDF spokesperson declined to comment on the Syrian report of an initial Israeli attack near the Syrian capital, which reportedly killed one soldier and wounded five.
But the IDF said it carried out a counterstrike in Syria in response to the launching of the anti-aircraft missile. It said the missile triggered sirens in parts of Israel and Judea and Samaria, and exploded in mid-air.
At around 1:00 am, an explosion was reported over the so-called “Triangle” region in Israel around Wadi Ara towns, including Umm al-Fahm.
“Following the anti-aircraft missile launch earlier tonight, the Israel Defense Forces attacked surface-to-air missile batteries and radar that fired at Israeli Air Force planes,” the IDF said on Twitter.
Israel launched surface-to-surface missiles from the Golan Heights and Syrian air defenses shot down some of them, Syrian state TV said.
Assessment: According to the French president, Putin also said there won’t be any Russian “permanent (military) base” or “deployment” in Belarus, where Russia had sent a large number of troops for war games …
French President Emmanuel Macron said Tuesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin told him in their marathon talks a day earlier that Moscow would not further escalate the Ukraine crisis.
Macron’s remarks on a visit to Kyiv came as the Kremlin denied reports that he and Putin struck a deal on de-escalating the crisis. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that “in the current situation, Moscow and Paris can’t be reaching any deals.”
“And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet” Matthew 24:6
Macron met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy amid mounting fears of a Russian invasion. Moscow has massed over 100,000 troops near Ukraine’s borders, but insists it has no plans to attack.
The Kremlin wants guarantees from the West that NATO will not accept Ukraine and other former Soviet nations as members, that it halt weapon deployments there and roll back its forces from Eastern Europe – demands the US and NATO reject as nonstarters.
At a news conference after meeting Zelenskyy, Macron said Putin told him during their more than five-hour session Monday that “he won’t be initiating an escalation. I think it is important.”
