More than one million chickens are dead after a massive fire burned down Wabash Valley Produce Farm in Farina, a small town in southern Illinois.

According to reports, the fire broke out at approximately 6:30 p.m. on May 29. More than two dozen fire departments rushed to the scene to help put the fire out, but it was already too late: the facility was a total loss.

Scientists have warned us that California is way overdue for a major earthquake and that “the Big One” could literally strike at any time.  That is why I was so alarmed when the Los Angeles Times reported that “two sets of earthquake swarms” had just hit the state.  After seeing that story, I went over to the Southern California Earthquake Data Center to check how many earthquakes have shaken the region during the past week.  As I write this article, the total number of earthquakes in California and Nevada in the last 7 days is sitting at a grand total of 1010.  To me, whenever that number goes above 1000 we are officially in the danger zone.  Hopefully there will not be a very large earthquake in California any time soon, but when there is this much shaking going on we should all be on alert.

(Bloomberg) — Turkey confirmed it would halt all trade with Israel until the country allows uninterrupted and sufficient flow of humanitarian aid to Gaza, after two officials familiar with the matter said the pause went into effect earlier Thursday.

Turkey decided to expand last month’s restriction on some Turkish exports to Israel due to the “worsening humanitarian tragedy in Palestine,” the Trade Ministry said in a statement, adding that work was underway to make sure that Palestinians were not adversely affected.

Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) joined MSNBC on Wednesday to tout President Joe Biden’s record on the economy — specifically pointing to inflation and saying that it was “down” — and claimed that “disinformation” was the reason so many Americans weren’t seeing that progress.

Clyburn was still at it when “Morning Joe” host Mika Brzezinski — who agreed with Clyburn that “disinformation” was certainly a problem — broke in to point out the fact that inflation had risen more than expected in the last month.

“And so the inflation rates are down,” Clyburn began. “And people’s incomes are up. Unemployment is on the decrease. And although we see the prices at the stores costing more money, people are in fact earning greater incomes.”

“So what we’ve got to do is make sure that people see the policies of Biden administration, how they affect their everyday lives and get them to see in his policies that which is real, not what they may hear on social media,” Clyburn continued, arguing that “disinformation” on social media platforms was one of the main reasons people didn’t believe the Biden economy was working in their favor.

Brzezinski echoed Clyburn’s concerns about the impact of “disinformation,” but then shared a headline showing the most recent Consumer Price Index data — which revealed a greater-than-expected increase in the inflation rate for the month of March: 3.5%, the highest increase in 6 months.

“There’s also a lack of validation that these voters feel,” Brzezinski said. “And I’m going to bring in Andrew Ross Sorkin right now because we just got breaking news — the Consumer Price Index increased at a faster-than-expected pace last month, a signal that inflation remains stubbornly high.”

In a March 2024 speech, Bank of Canada Senior Deputy Governor Carolyn Rogers warned that Canada’s weak productivity growth threatened future living standards and the economy’s ability to grow without renewed inflation. She said Canadian output per hour had fallen further behind the United States and pointed to insufficient business investment and limited competition as major concerns. Rogers called for improvements in investment, worker skills, and the use of newcomers’ qualifications. Her remarks framed productivity as a pressing economic challenge rather than a short-term fluctuation.

Researchers reported an unusually intense swarm of earthquakes in March 2024 near an undersea volcanic area off the Pacific Northwest. Ocean Networks Canada reported thousands of small events during a period of elevated activity, which scientists associated with possible movement of magma beneath the seafloor. The original commentary raised concerns about the Cascadia Subduction Zone, but the volcanic swarm did not by itself establish that a major Cascadia earthquake or tsunami was imminent. The event highlights the importance of distinguishing observations of seismic activity from predictions of future disasters.

Federal debt is up $100 billion in just four days. We’re on track for $37 trillion by the end of this year. And $40 trillion by the end of next, Peter St. Onge warns.

A prominent Wharton professor is warning of a “meltdown” as early as 2025 as debt swamps financial markets.

At some point, the US will crash, probably sooner than later.

“Juan Gomez Wharton, senior vice Dean of Research at Wharton, warns the $34 trillion debt, soon to be 35 trillion, could trigger a spiral like we saw in Britain in 2022 when national debt fears spiked interest rates, sparking panic selling in bonds that threatened to crash the economy and bankrupt banks and even pensions…”

St. Onge said, “The CEO’s of Bank of America and JP Morgan, the two biggest in the country recently warned of a quote market rebellion over debt as we careen towards a $5 trillion quote fiscal Cliff at the end of next year.

“Keep in mind that’s all counting current projections. In other words, it assumes no new trillion dollar spending surprises and it also assumes no recession, so the fabled soft landing, if instead a recession does hit, then going by history, the deficit grows potentially by another couple trillion as social spending spikes and tax collection slump.

“Even without recession and those new spending surprises, we’re looking at 37 trillion in debt by the end of this year and 40 trillion by the end of next year. It’s worth noting that’s about twice the pace that the Congressional Budget Office forecast…

“$144 trillion…Yes, that was the forecast that said we’ll have $144 trillion in federal debt by 2053. Now, when it came out, that 144 trillion was met with an audible gasp. After all, that is more than literally all the money in the world. It’s about one-third of the accumulated assets of humanity, and at the moment, we’re actually going a lot faster…

“Washington has lost all semblance of fiscal sanity at this point. They’re competing for who can drain the treasury fastest…”

It was on a cool Tuesday afternoon that the residents of Sinanché, a small town in southeastern Mexico, first heard the hissing.

Looking out their windows, the leaves of the fruit trees in their back gardens had been licked clean, while chewed-on lemons, oranges and hoya covered the grass.

But not a single one of Sinanché’s some 3,100 residents had to look far for the culprit – or culprits, rather.

All they had to do was look up.

Miles-long clouds of locusts have been blanketing the skies above the state of Yucatán this week, flying through shopping plazas, smacking into the windows of apartment complexes and gobbling up anything green in local parks.

Social media users and the Mexican press both asked the same question: Is this a sign the world is coming to an end?

In Exodus, locusts were the eighth of 10 plagues sent to carpet Egypt.

One regional outlet even quoted the Book of Revelation 9:3, which reads: ‘And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

‘And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.’

Except these locusts certainly have certainly hurt any and every green thing in sight.

Farmers have said the blizzard of bugs has nibbled on their cornfields in the middle of harvest, though officials say the swarm will unlikely lead to any major losses to the agriculture sector.

Some farmers have tried to douse crops with pesticides in a bid to kill the insects.

With not enough vegetation to go around, the famished swarms have buzzed into urban areas to eat trees, bushes and flowers.

The Biden administration has whined for months about the public’s negative views on the economy, arguing that people are operating on “false perceptions influenced by right-wing media.”

Most Americans have figured out that government officials and the corporate media have a habit of misrepresenting economic data to convince the public that the economy has never been better.

Last June, the White House unleashed a media campaign with corporate media to blast out the message that “Bidenomics” worked and the economy has never been better. But polling data from Real Clear Politics shows that despite the PR blitz, the president’s polling data went down.

People know when their wallets are hurting, and gaslighting them has not been effective.

Yet another data point released Tuesday supports the public’s position that the nation is less prosperous than the government would like us to believe.

Bloomberg cites a new report from the National Energy Assistance Directors Association that reveals US household utility debt hit a record as an alarming number of Americans can no longer afford heating and cooling their homes.

NEADA said one out of every six ratepayers is behind on energy bills, adding residential utility debt hit a new record last year of $20.3 billion.

The group, representing state-level directors of low-income utility assistance programs, pointed out household heating costs have soared 20% since the start of Covid.

Folks in New York and Michigan have been impacted the most by soaring energy bills, the report said. As of Sept. 30, there were more than 7 million households on utility bill assistance.

Looking at the US CPI Northeast Urban Household Energy index, a basket of household fuels, such as propane, kerosene, and firewood, as well as electricity prices, remains near record highs.

Meanwhile, more than 60% of Americans reported that their wages were lagging well behind inflation.

Folks, this is truly stunning.

They are trying to destroy our food supply!

As someone who sits in this chair and covers the news each day, I see this firsthand.

Heck, we covered […] one just this morning.

I knew there have been a lot of food processing plants and other food supply buildings that have burned down, blown up or otherwise met a catastrophic, untimely end in the last 3 years, but I had no idea just how many until I saw it all together in one place.

I’ve been here to cover each of these, but it’s really jarring when you see it all in one place.

Here’s a complied list of nearly 100 fires from 2021 and 2022 from Rumble:\

Just like I sincerely doubt Hillary and Bill Clinton have over 100+ friends and close business associates who committed suicide or died under strange circumstances, I do not believe these are all accidents.

No way.

This looks intentional to me.

This looks like an intentional destruction of America from the inside to me.
