Prices that consumers pay for a variety of goods and services rose 8.5% in July from a year ago, a slowing pace from the previous month due largely to a drop in gasoline prices.

If you just look in your own short article link, it says:

"On a monthly basis, the consumer price index was flat ...."

As you know, BLS is the agency that compiles the figures. And they say:

The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) was unchanged in July on a seasonally
adjusted basis
Consumer Price Index Summary - 2022 M07 Results

Your source merely got the BLS figures wrong. So again, Biden had it right, and his critics as usual, have it wrong.

I guess, it's really hard to see things we don't want to see. That's true of all of us, I suppose.

Inflation hits Americans' grocery bills as food prices accelerate

As was pointed out earlier, the US tracks inflation on a year/year basis not a month/month basis. Apples to oranges.......

That looks like an intentional distortion. (maybe you just don't know it yet though, so maybe it's an innocent mistake, but it looks like it is not innocent at this point, since we've pointed out to you many times now what your own link showed -->

Fact: the U.S. always reports both year over year and month over month inflation.

Every month. And they are both widely reported, every month, as your own linked article showed.

It's good to know what to do when you tell an intentional falsehood:

if we want to enter heaven, we have to repent of serious wrongs like intentional falsehoods, and we can.

It's not a good story to stick with. When we slander someone, or even just judge harshly with prejudice even (Matthew 7:1-2), that is held against us on the Day of Judgement, by the Lord Himself, unless we repent.

1 Corinthians 6:10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God..

The last thing you'd want to do is risk going into the 'second death' just to repeat political talking points from unbeliever commentators.

People have no problem judging Trump. My comment was fairly innocent anyways. I do actually believe that Biden's mental faculties are in jeopardy.

It's not safe to harshly judge Trump either.

Since Trump elicits a lot more judging, having done so many visible harms and wrongs, it would be good to mention more often to people the danger in judging him harshly. I've only warned people on that maybe a half dozen times I'd guess here. I bet Trump is judged 20 or 30 times as often as Biden. So, it's a good point we need to warn people against being judgmentally condemning on anyone.

It's enough to just not vote for him if we think someone less bad is available. We don't have to condemn or judge him. (If we condemn anyone, we will get condemned! Luke 6:37)

I'm not "judging" Biden. I just think he's not all there upstairs. I don't think Biden can help that his mental faculties are compromised.

"think?" so just guessing?

where husband works, the owner of company will be 80 soon....he is still at work everyday cause he's so invested in his business

one of his daughters is running company now but the owner is still working, attending meetings, and traveling for the company
no one has said for him to step aside although his daughter probably wishes he would

just because one is old, doesn't mean one can't work

It's not just that he is old. Have you ever seen him talk? He can barely read the teleprompter.

needs glasses?

I've seen several people on tv have difficulty reading a teleprompter & trip over words

he could read from his notes
then look up every once in a while

Really? I think it's more likely he just isn't all there as he is always tripping over his words.

so all the young professionals who trip over words while reading teleprompters are not all there, either?

If you don't see it, you don't see it. I can't help what I notice. Don't agree with me? Fine, don't agree. But that doesn't change what I have seen from Biden.

Yup, still at a three decade high of 8.5%

That's right, they actually report many forms of inflation but the only thing that carries any weight is the year/year data as since month/month does not allow a person to draw any conclusions as to where things are headed......except of course for those who only care about the political picture they may be able to paint.

When you read out loud "End of quote, repeat line" It's not because you need glasses.

That is why he changed the matrix and instead of comparing year to year - he compared year to month. Some of his supporters seem to not have a clue or are seemingly easily influenced by whatever comes out of his mouth.

People won't be fooled when they go to the grocery store so he can say what he wants. About 40% of the American people will support him no matter what he says, how incompetent he is or how bad the economy gets.
