US Inflation Jumps to 8.6 Percent, Highest
in 40 Years 
Analysts now predict aggressive Fed response and a bigger economic slowdown 

The U.S. annual inflation rate surged to 8.6 percent in May, topping the market estimate of 8.3 percent.

According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the consumer price index (CPI) rose 1 percent on a month-over-month basis. Key drivers of inflation such as food, energy, and housing showed no signs of slowing last month.

The core inflation rate, which excludes the volatile food and energy sectors, climbed 6 percent year-over-year, higher than economists’ expectations of 5.9 percent. Core inflation jumped 0.6 percent month-over-month.

All of the inflation indexes ran high in May, with food prices soaring 10.1 percent and energy increasing 34.6 percent.Fuel oil surged 106.7 percent, gasoline rose 48.7 percent, and electricity costs jumped 12 percent year-over-year.

‘Nowhere to Hide’

U.S. families are paying an average of $311 more per month for goods and services, according to recent estimates from Moody’s Analytics.

Last month, a CNBC + Acorns Invest in You survey, conducted by Momentive, learned that many consumers are cutting back on dining out, reducing their driving, canceling a trip, and ending monthly subscriptions.

Because inflation is broad-based, post-pandemic economic conditions have “left consumers nowhere to hide,” says Greg McBride, the senior vice president and chief financial analyst at Bankrate. (Epoch Times) Read more here.  

- Lord God, we know from experience that, as we are obedient to release the tithe of our earnings to You each month, You do hover over our earnings and help us to make our ends meet. Thank You, Lord, for the privilege of bringing Your tithe into Your storehouse, and for watching the miraculous way You then move to meet our needs. Praise God!

- "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it." (Romans 12:2)

In Context: Overcoming Power Deficits

Senate Majority Leader Schumer began his daily floor remarks Wednesday by saying, “Mr. President, today, the House oversight and reform committee heard from a witness who, by all means, should never ever ever have had to come before the Congress, Miah Cerrillo, an 11-year-old girl who survived the shooting in Uvalde, TX.”

There's nothing to disagree with there. We agree that shooting should not have happened.

It did, and so the question now is what could have been done to prevent it there that could prevent that elsewhere.

A gun is in instrument of power. It's used to overcome real or perceived power deficits. Republicans are not wrong when they observe people who abuse the power of firearms often come from broken homes and have lost a sense of purpose and meaning. As common as some of those problems have become, it is very difficult to anticipate and prevent when such damage to one person will explosively affect others. It's even harder for lawmakers to identify actions to punish on their path toward that destruction.

A secondary approach for policymakers is to mitigate the potentially damaging effects of explosive behavior. In the case of hardening schools, this includes things like single points of entry, locks on doors, etc. Another element of hardening includes enabling an organization not to be powerless against extreme threats. When law enforcement is insufficient, adult citizens should be allowed to equitably defend themselves and those for whom they are responsible. Uncertainty for the assailants is additional protection against them.

About half the Members of Congress believe they can rebalance the power deficit by reducing the power of everyone, including perpetrators. This actually increases the power deficit if a perpetrator overcomes the additional limitations.

Confusing matters even more is language about empowering people used in reference to disempowering people. On Wednesday, House Majority Leader Hoyer commented on the floor saying, “My friend from North Carolina suggested hardening the schools. We have hardened this chamber over the objections of some.” By the latter, he was referring to Members of Congress not being allowed to exercise their Second Amendment rights while serving in the Capitol. Reducing the personal power of the People's elected Representatives is not a form of hardening the institution against potential threats.

There are two possible tracks here:

Possibility #1. Congress never completely balances out the power deficits. If it doesn't, then the only way to effectively deal with an extreme power imbalance is to allow people to equitably answer firepower with firepower. Until that is rightfully accepted and widespread, the imbalances will inevitably have consequences like we now mourn.

Possibility #2. Congress nearly completely balances out the power deficits by reducing the power of everyone. Gun registration, then confiscation, except for firepower retained by the people in power. The political power becomes absolute power, corruption ensues, and a much larger power imbalance becomes painfully entrenched for the long term.

Father, we thank you that there are conversations in Washington among people who disagree about the nature of these problems and how to solve them. We ask you to give wisdom and words to Your People, to open the eyes of those who need understanding, and open the hearts of all to follow Your Way in these matters at this time. Father, we ask you to strengthen the will, knowledge, and wisdom of those seeking to prevent absolute power from corrupting your work in this Nation.

“Take heed to your spirit, that you do not deal treacherously.” (Malachi 2:16)

From the floor colloquy:
Next week, the House will consider legislation to address inflation and help bring down costs for Americans. The House will consider the Lower Food and Fuel Costs Act from the Committee on Agriculture and the Committee on Energy and Commerce to address food prices and help bring down the cost of fertilizer for farmers while providing more affordable options at the gas pump for Americans.

The House will also consider S. 3580, the Senate-passed companion to John Garamendi's Ocean Shipping Reform Act, under suspension. We passed it previously, and it is in the Senate. However, this is a compromise with which Mr. Garamendi agrees. This legislation will address continued supply chain problems and ensure the fair and expeditious flow of goods in and out of our ports, helping lower costs for American consumers and bolstering our domestic agriculture products.

Additionally, Madam Speaker, the House will consider H.R. 2543, the Racial Equity, Inclusion, and Economic Justice Act, from Chairwoman Maxine Waters and the Financial Services Committee to promote racial equity and fair access to economic opportunity for those who are facing discrimination or bias. This will help families who are challenged in accessing financial services and housing at a time when every dollar is critical.

Finally, Madam Speaker, the House will also consider H.R. 2773, Representative Debbie Dingell's bipartisan Recovering America's Wildlife Act.

The House will consider other bills, Madam Speaker, under suspension of the rules. A complete list of suspension bills will be announced by the close of business tomorrow. Additional legislative items, of course, are possible. I thank the gentleman for yielding.

Mr. SCALISE (TW). Madam Speaker, I wanted to ask, specifically, there was some talk that we may today take up the Senate bill, the bill that passed over a month ago in the Senate, to give stronger protections to Supreme Court Justices and their families. ...

Mr. HOYER (TW). Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman for his question. I think it is a very relevant question. I am hopeful that we can move that as early as possible. I want to tell the gentleman the reason he thought that it might be moved this morning was because last night, I thought I had, after discussions with Senator Cornyn, a way forward that both the Senate and the House could agree on. Unfortunately, this morning, that appeared not to be the case. We are trying to pursue that because we believe that it is a critical piece of legislation, as are the pieces of legislation we are considering.
Father, it is absolutely inexcusable for the House Democratic Majority to use the personal safety and security of U.S. Supreme Court justices as leverage in political negotiations for their efforts to undermine the right to self-defense. We ask you to have personal mercy on these people while they remain in these positions, and to have no electoral mercy on them before the year is out.

“In mercy and truth Atonement is provided for iniquity; And by the fear of the LORD one departs from evil.” (Proverbs 16:6)

Our Weekly Call to Repentance

CHPP Welcomes You to Join Us Every Week in One Hour of Repentance

Sunday evening at 10:00 p.m. EDT
Dial 667-770-1415
Access Code: 150411#


Dear Saints,

A lifestyle of REPENTANCE is so close to the heart of God.


Indeed, He commands us to  "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!" Matthew 3:2

How, then, can we approach His Throne of GRACE, in repentance?

We invite you to join us every week on Sunday evening, as we explore this vital topic together. We present a different prayer focus each week, leading us into repentance, so that we might approach His Throne of Grace in repentance, presenting ourselves to Him as a pure and a spotless Bride, without spot or wrinkle. (Ephesians 5:27)

Praying together, we desire to fulfill the mandate of Psalm 139:

" Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; 24 And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting." Psalm 139:24


You can join us, any Sunday evening, at 10:00 p.m. EST by calling:

WELCOME!

 

". . . and if My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

"Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place."
(2 Chronicles 7:14,15)
