Inflation hits McDonald’s suppliers: French fry supplier to close plant in WA

Inflation has hit all Americans hard during the Biden-Harris administration. It’s about to hit employees at a Lamb Weston plant in Connell, Washington, too.

From Yahoo:

A major french fry supplier is cutting jobs as customers continue to count their pennies amid inflated prices at fast-food chains.

Lamb Weston, the largest producer of french fries in North America, announced last week it was closing its plant in Connell, Washington, meaning 375 employees, or 4% of its workforce, would be laid off, according to an earnings report released last week.

“Restaurant traffic and frozen potato demand, relative to supply, continue to be soft, and we believe it will remain soft through the remainder of fiscal 2025,” Tom Werner, Lamb Weston president and CEO, said last week on an earnings call.

Fast-food chains have felt the consequences of inflation as cash-strapped customers have been more careful about patronizing many restaurants. A survey in May revealed that 80% of Americans considered fast food to be a “luxury” because of high prices.”

Inflation has hit us hard, indeed. According to a CBS News price tracker report from last month, since 2019 to to August 2024 potatoes (by the pound) have increased by 34%, a dozen eggs by 126%, and a loaf of bread by 54%. These price increases are unsustainable for the average American.

Remember wisely as you vote next month. Because things could get much, much worse:

“It’s the economy, stupid”

Truer words were never spoken when it comes to elections.

The media is working overtime to gaslight the people into voting for the “chosen one,” Kamala Harris, by claiming the U.S. is not in a recession.

Yesterday the stock market took a hard punch. It fell by 2%, the worst drop since 2022. If you want to keep your blood pressure normal, don’t check your 401(k) and investment account balances right now.

Intel announced on Friday that it was laying off 15% of its workforce. This comes months after the Biden administration gave Intel $8.5 billion in grants to help bring back chipmaking to the U.S. Great job, Biden, by “spurring processor manufacturing in the US.”

Within the past year Nike has laid off 5% of their workforce. This combined with Intel’s layoffs, was a hard hit for the progressive-run state of Oregon.

Last September I wrote about CVS closing 900 stores noting that America is in decline, particularly in democrat-run cities. As a result, our nation is (still) facing the following:

  • Increased inflation
  • Increased debt (both for the nation and many individual households)
  • Increased crime with soft-on-punishment policies
  • Open borders with thousands of illegal aliens arriving daily as well as drugs (particularly fentanyl) pouring into our cities

If you think things will get better with the new Harris/Walz ticket, think again. Tim Walz is a hardcore leftist who recently stated on a “White Dudes for Harris” get-together: “One person’s socialism is another person’s neighborliness.”

A preview of our economy and the US under this “progressive” ticket of Harris and Walz:

All of it, up in flames.

Joe is out; Kamala to make the top ticket?

Hoo boy, what a week in politics!

This afternoon, Ol’ Joe did the inevitable, he dropped out of the 2024 race. I predicted this would happen once we heard rumors that Barack Obama deemed Biden unable to “achieve a patch to victory.”

Biden didn’t give a specific reason as to why he’s dropping out but we all know the reason(s) why he’s doing this. Here’s part of what his Tweet said:

“While it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term,” Biden wrote in a letter posted on X. “I will speak to the Nation later this week in more detail about my decision.”

Biden went on to endorse Kamala Harris for the demorat nomination. Lucky us…

Here’s what Americans have to look forward to if the Soro$ machine can get her elected:

Biden presidency in disarray: plummeting approval numbers; at war with VP

According to Buddhism, karma is supposed to work after death, but sometimes karma is visited on deserving people when they are still alive.

Joe Biden may have won the 2020 election (see a Brookings Institute analysis of judicial votes on 2020 election irregularities), but his presidency is, predictably,  an utter disaster.

That disaster is even being acknowledged by Democrat useful-idiot voters as  Biden’s poll numbers continue to plummet (NewsMax):

  • In the latest NPR/Marist national poll released three days ago on December 9, a majority (51%) of U.S. adults disapprove of the job Biden has done, with just 43% still approving.
  • Biden fared even worse in other polls:
  • Just one-fifth (20%) of Americans in a recent (Dec. 7) I&I/TIPP poll say they want Biden to run again for president in 2024.

Biden’s Vice President Kamala Harris’ poll numbers are even worse:

  • A USA Today/Suffolk poll, released on November 7, had Harris’ approval rating at only 28% — an historic low for vice presidents, even lower than Dick Cheney’s all-time worst.
  • Only 12% of Americans in the I&I/TIPP poll say they want Harris to run again for vice president in 2024.

Not only has Kamala Harris been strangely MIA on her job, she is described as a “soul-destroying” “bully” by staffers, four of whom had quit in the space of two weeks, with more “eying the exit” (Daily Mail).

The New York Post reports:

Vice President Kamala Harris is described as a “bully” in a new report that brands her as the “common denominator” behind a recent exodus of high-level staffers.

Harris’ allegedly “soul-destroying” management style was revealed by staffers to the Washington Post just days after spokesperson and longtime aide Symone Sanders announced her departure….

[F]ormer Harris aide Gil Duran…said Harris’ “destructive patterns” were behind the recent turmoil and exit of Sanders and communications director Ashley Etienne….

One former staffer claimed the vice president fails to read briefing materials, then lashes out at others when she’s unprepared.

“It’s clear that you’re not working with somebody who is willing to do the prep and the work,” the staffer said. “With Kamala you have to put up with a constant amount of soul-destroying criticism and also her own lack of confidence. So you’re constantly sort of propping up a bully, and it’s not really clear why.”

Oblivious to his own failings, Biden has grown hostile toward Harris and shows signs of dumping her as a VP running-mate for the 2024 election.

The New York Post reports that according to a CNN report, based on interviews with nearly three dozen insiders, Biden is “sidelining” Harris “amid growing tensions” and that the two have a dysfunctional relationship that has reached an “exhausted stalemate”.

At the funeral for Bob Dole at the U.S. Capitol last Thursday, behaving like immature high-schoolers, Biden did not acknowledge Harris as he walked past her. Both Biden and Harris did not make eye contact and averted their gaze. Then Biden asked his wife Jill to switch seats so he wouldn’t have to be next to Harris.
