If The High Cost Of Groceries Makes You Feel Sick, You Are Not Alone
– If The High Cost Of Groceries Makes You Feel Sick, You Are Not Alone:
If you are really struggling with the high cost of living, I want you to know that you aren’t alone. In recent months, I have been hearing from so many people that feel like they are drowning financially. Have you experienced a palpable sense of panic when you compare your rising bills to the level of income that you are currently bringing in? So many people out there are stressed out of their minds because it has become such a struggle to pay the bills each month. As I discussed a few days ago, a typical U.S. household much now spend $1,069 more a month just to buy the exact same goods and services that it did three years ago. Over the course of an entire year, that is almost an extra $13,000 dollars. Month after month, prices just keep going higher, but those that are running things continue to insist that everything is just fine.
No, everything is not just fine.

Are MTA Subway Tracks In Queens Being Held Together By Zip Ties
– Are MTA Subway Tracks In Queens Being Held Together By Zip Ties:
Where is the boatload of tax money New York City takes in going?
That’s likely the main question on the minds of Gotham’s citizens this week after the NY Post revealed in a report the latest “feature” of riding the prestigious MTA public transit: there appears to be zip ties holding together subway tracks.
While illegal migrants are being treated to stays in four star hotels in Midtown, it appears NYC citizens riding the train at the Rockaway Boulevard A train station in Ozone Park are footing the bill. They have been left asking if the tracks of the subway they have been riding are barely holding on for dear life.
Nursing student Kayle Persaud asked the NY Post: “Should I be worried? If I cut one zip tie, does it start to fall?”
Photos of the zip ties were first published by AMNY:
Another subway rider told the Post: “The first time I saw it I thought, ‘Hmm… Is it holding the tracks together?’Even the screws look like they’re not all the way in.”

– Warren Buffett Reveals Plans For $130 Billion Fortune In His Will:
Authored by Tom Ozimek via The Epoch Times,
Famed investor Warren Buffett has revealed details of his will, with the 93-year-old founder of Berkshire Hathaway charting a charitable course for his vast $130 billion fortune after he passes away.
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Buffett said that he intends for nearly all of his immense fortune to be put into a charitable trust that will be used to help the less fortunate.
“It should be used to help the people that haven’t been as lucky as we have been,” Mr. Buffett told the outlet.
His three children—Howard, Susan, and Peter Buffett—will manage the trust, he said. In order for a donation to be made, all three will have to be in agreement on the cause, he said.
“There’s eight billion people in the world, and me and my kids, we’ve been in the luckiest 100th of 1 percent or something,” Mr. Buffett said.

Magical, Mysterious, And Sometimes Dangerous Food Ingredients That Are Impossible To Pronounce
– Magical, Mysterious, And Sometimes Dangerous Food Ingredients That Are Impossible To Pronounce:
Authored by Matthew Little via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),
Not long ago, people could only dream of the foods we have today. Tasty, cheap, and ready to eat. They last forever, look great, and come in endless varieties. Ultra-processed foods are a dream come true.
These new foods have achieved their incredible feats thanks to innovations in processing and a long list of additives that grant them superpowers denied to the foods eaten by previous generations.
Some of these additives do important work, like keep food bacteria-free or let it stay safe from spoiling without need for refrigeration. But others are “experiential” and do things like make the food bright red or give it a more satisfying texture.
How Uninhabited Terrain Became A Hotbed For Black Market Marijuana
– How Uninhabited Terrain Became A Hotbed For Black Market Marijuana:
Authored by Brad Jones via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),
The air is thick with the unmistakable pungent stench of cannabis plants in a massive network of illegal grow operations in a rural part of northern California, as Mount Shasta looms on the horizon.
Gated-off with chain link and wire fences—some with tattered shreds of privacy screening—the properties northeast of Weed, Calif., near Montague, are a compound of ramshackle huts, old RVs, and cheaply-made greenhouses of hoops and plastic.
Several spotters in vehicles patrol the dusty roads, watching for police and intruders near the site off Shasta Vista Drive.
These “guards” are often armed with automatic rifles, according to Siskiyou County Sheriff Jeremiah LaRue.
The sheriff estimates about 90 percent of the nearly 2,000 properties in the Mount Shasta Vista subdivision are involved in illegal grow operations.
Miles from Interstate 5, the illegal grow operations are out-of-sight and out-of-mind for most people, but even a glance at a satellite map reveals the vast network.
“If you zoom out, that subdivision is pretty large—nine square miles,” Mr. LaRue said.

Iran Threatens Israel With ‘Obliterating War’ If It Attacks Lebanon
– Iran Threatens Israel With ‘Obliterating War’ If It Attacks Lebanon:
Iran’s mission to the United Nations has put Israel and the world on notice, saying that if Israel launches an all-out war against Hezbollah in Lebanon the whole region will burn.
A Friday statement from Iran’s ambassador warned the UN that any “full-scale military aggression” in Lebanon against Hezbollah will mean that “an obliterating war will ensue.”
The Iranian statement continued by emphasizing that “all options, including the full involvement of all resistance fronts, are on the table” in a statement posted to X.
By “resistance fronts” Tehran means the militias it supports in Syria, Iraq, and Yemen will also ramp up their military activities. On a few occasions, Iraqi Shia militias have launched missiles and drones against southern Israel, as have the Houthis, with limited effect.
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has acknowledged this week that a “seven front war” could open up, in reference to all of Iran’s proxies across the region.
