“I just want to say a number: zero. Today, we received news that our economy had zero inflation in the month of July. Zero percent. Here’s what that means: While the price of some things go up — went up last month, the price of other things went down by the same amount. The result? Zero inflation last month.” Uncle Joe speaking to the nation last week.
Inflation still stands near a 40-year high and came in at 8.5 percent in July.

Texas cattle ranchers David and Deborah Hajda issued a dire warning to America's middle class after Democrats' spending bill passed both houses of Congress allowing provisions for approximately $80 billion in IRS funding, a majority of which is dedicated to enforcement.
The Raising Five Cattle Company ranchers spoke with Dana Perino on "America's Newsroom" Tuesday, where they recounted the grueling tax audit they experienced 13 years ago.
"We got audited over basically a $7,800 engine rebuild on a very old tractor," Deborah said.
"They just basically said this was a red flag, and we're going to audit you, and we're coming to your house," she added.
Hajda said she asked if she could fax her bank records to the IRS, but they refused to give her the option. Instead, they came to her house and demanded all of her financial records in-person.
"I took out our box of receipts… and we handed it to him, and I said ‘Here’s your receipts'… we weren't hiding anything," she said.
The Hajdas said, while they could not afford to replace the tractor, they kept all records of expenses for the necessary repairs. However, the auditor would not give up so easily.
"He wasn't satisfied. He kept digging, and he ended up nailing us. Our tax person was giving us 80% on our work vehicles, and he said you can only do 50%," David said.
"I was very naive about the situation. I had no idea of the power, the scope [of the audit] going in three years of my life… and me having no control over that, no control over the information he was given," Deborah said.
"It was very invasive. You feel very attacked because that guy wanted to go back and say, ‘I got her.’"
She went on to issue a warning to other middle-class Americans who could soon endure the same process.
"They want to get you. If they're coming after you for an audit, they don't want to see your receipt… they want to nitpick your life apart, and that's not what the American dream is for self-employment, small business…"

New FBI whistleblower claims bureau leadership slow-walked Hunter Biden investigation
by Jerry Dunleavy, Justice Department Reporter |
August 24, 2022 09:20 AM
The FBI slow-walked its investigation into Hunter Biden’s laptop, including telling some bureau employees not to look at the hard drive belonging to President Joe Biden’s son, according to reported whistleblower disclosures made public by a top Senate Republican.
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) sent a letter to DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz on Tuesday about the new whistleblower claims, following disclosures made public last month about the bureau allegedly wrongly labeling Hunter Biden evidence as “disinformation” in 2020.
“Whistleblowers have recently contacted my office to share serious concerns about the FBI’s handling of Hunter Biden’s laptop,” Johnson told Horowitz, telling the watchdog that after the FBI obtained the laptop from a Delaware computer shop in late 2019, local FBI leadership told bureau employees that “you will not look at that Hunter Biden laptop” and that the FBI is “not going to change the outcome of the election again,” the whistleblowers said.
Johnson said the new whistleblower claims “allege that the FBI did not begin to examine the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop until after the 2020 presidential election — potentially a year after the FBI obtained the laptop in Dec. 2019.”
Johnson said that the new whistleblower allegations should spur the DOJ inspector general to action.
“It is clear to me based on numerous credible whistleblower disclosures that the FBI cannot be trusted with the handling of Hunter Biden’s laptop,” Johnson told Horowitz this week. “I call on you to immediately investigate the FBI’s handling of Hunter Biden’s laptop and begin by obtaining the history of the investigative actions taken by the FBI on Hunter Biden’s laptop which should be available on the FBI’s case management system, Sentinel."
The latest whistleblower allegations come after more emerged in July that the FBI wrongly labeled verified evidence on Biden as “disinformation."

Biden’s student loan debt forgiveness plan could cost up to $519 billion, according to new analysis
The Biden administration’s announcement that they will forgive $10,000 in federal student loan debt for borrowers within a certain income cap and up to $20,000 for Pell Grant recipients would cost up to $519 billion, according to a new analysis.
President Joe Biden announced Wednesday that his administration is working to forgive $10,000 in federal student loan debt per borrower, and up to $20,000 in student loan debt for Pell Grant recipients earning less than $125,000 per year (or $250,000 for households). He also extended the pause on federal student loan payments through the end of the year, and the U.S. Department of Education proposed a new income-driven repayment (IDR) plan.
Not all of the details have been released yet. But over the next 10 years, the plan could cost approximately $519 billion, the Penn Wharton Budget Model estimates. In the first year, forgiveness would cost $468.6 billion.

FORGIVING STUDENT LOANS: BUDGETARY COSTS AND DISTRIBUTIONAL IMPACT
Forgiving Student Loans: Budgetary Costs and Distributional Impact — Penn Wharton Budget Model
We estimate that forgiving federal college student loan debt will cost between $300 billion and $980 billion over the 10-year budget window, depending on program details. About 70 percent of debt relief accrues to borrowers in the top 60 percent of the income distribution.
