Inflation continued to hit consumer wallets in April, likely keeping the Federal Reserve on the sidelines until the current wave subsides, fresh pricing data released Thursday showed.

The personal consumption expenditures price index increased a seasonally adjusted 0.4% for the month, putting the 12-month inflation rate at 3.8%, the Commerce Department reported. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been looking for respective readings of 0.5% and 3.8%.

Excluding food and energy, core prices rose 0.2% for the month and 3.3% for the year, against estimates of 0.3% and 3.3%.

While the annual rates were in line with forecasts, the soft monthly readings could provide some hope that the burst in prices over the previous month had begun to ease.

The Fed takes in a wide dashboard of indicators, but uses the PCE measures as its prime forecasting and policy tool. Officials generally consider core a better indicator of long-term inflation trends as it excludes the volatile gas and groceries components.

Chad’s President Mahamat Idriss Déby attends a working lunch on reforming the international financial architecture at the Africa Forward summit in Nairobi on 12 May.

Rather than learning from Chad’s history of coups and deadly conflicts, current leaders seem determined to repeat the cycle, writes Remadji Hoinathy in ISS Today.

Just two weeks after eight opposition leaders were arrested for planning a march against Chad’s governance problems, they were sentenced to eight years in prison without parole. Their Political Actors Consultation Group (GCAP) had scheduled the demonstration for 2 May.

A day before their sentencing on 8 May, the Supreme Court announced that the GCAP – the country’s main political opposition coalition – had been dissolved. The jailed leaders join key opposition figure Succès Masra, head of The Transformers party, who was imprisoned for 20 years in August 2025 for ‘incitement to hatred.’

The South African government and advocacy groups for the country’s Afrikaner white minority rejected on Wednesday the Trump administration’s position that there’s a humanitarian emergency affecting white people in South Africa.

The argument served as the administration’s rationale for raising the US refugee cap, but only for white Afrikaners.

The Trump administration said on Tuesday that it will admit an additional 10,000 white South Africans into the US as refugees this year, increasing its annual quota, but blocking people from other countries from entering through the programme.

The Pentagon has reportedly spent months putting key military assets into position near Cuba, fueling speculation that the Trump administration is laying the groundwork for potential military action against the communist-led island nation.

U.S. military planners have quietly expanded naval deployments, surveillance operations and regional force positioning in the Caribbean as tensions between Washington and Havana continue to intensify according to a recent report from Politico.

The developments come after President Donald Trump signed an executive order earlier this year labeling Cuba an “extraordinary threat” to U.S. national security. The administration has accused the Cuban government of strengthening ties with hostile foreign actors, including Russia, China, Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah, while allegedly allowing foreign intelligence operations to target the United States from just 90 miles off the Florida coast.

Transgender athlete Becky Pepper-Jackson did very well last weekend at the West Virginia girls’ state track championships – maybe too well.

The Bridgeport High School sophomore placed first in the girls’ shot put and fourth in the girls’ discus in Class AAA at the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission’s (WVSSAC) state track and field championships, prompting the state attorney general’s offifice to notify the U.S. Supreme Court.

The problem? The student-athlete is the defendant in West Virginia v. BPJ, a case before the high court on whether state laws banning biological males from female scholastic sports violate the U.S. Constitution and Title IX, the federal ban on sex discrimination in education.

The American Civil Liberties Union has described the student as a middling athlete who poses no threat to competitive fairness in girls’ sports, a characterization disputed by West Virginia Solicitor General Michael R. Williams.

“As a high school sophomore, BPJ is not finishing ‘near the back of the pack,’ contra [the respondent’s brief], but is instead defeating every female – or nearly every female – in the State in these events,” he said in his letter to Supreme Court Clerk Scott Harris.

A back molar found in a Siberian cave is believed to be the oldest evidence of dental treatment. About 59,000 years ago, someone carefully drilled a cavity in the tooth to ease a toothache.

It was a Neanderthal who had done it. The tooth, Chagyrskaya 64, is a lower left second molar recovered from Chagyrskaya Cave in the Russian Altai Mountains. A huge, odd-shaped cavity extends to the almost complete occlusal floor of the tooth crown, reaching well into the pulp chamber.

The researchers report in the May 13 issue of PLOS One that this concavity cannot be explained by decay, wear, or geological processes alone. Rather, it was made with a small, pointed stone tool to treat severe dental decay.

Starlink Mini is already the version of SpaceX’s internet dish built for on-the-go connectivity. It has found its fans in travelers, campers, vanlifers, and others who live off the grid.

According to a PCMag report, university researcher Jinwei Zhao spotted new Starlink firmware strings that point toward a possible Starlink Mini model with an integrated battery. The key clue is a new DishBatteryStats reference, which appears designed to return battery-specific information rather than simply detect that the dish is plugged into some random external power bank.

Beaver Scout Refuses To Bow To Allah During Prayer Demonstration On Field Trip– www.louderwithcrowder.com

EXCERPT:

Beaver Scouts in Scotland took a trip to the Central Scotland Islamic Centre for reasons that will never advance the West. Nonetheless, on that trip, the scouts, boys aged 6-8, bowed to Allah. This should be controversial because there is absolutely zero reason as to why these kids are being religiously indoctrinated. Nonetheless, one boy refused to participate in the Muslim prayer, and that puts him on the right side of history.

According to 5Pillars, “the largest English language Muslim news site in Europe, Australia and the Americas,” the clip “was taken during a Beavers Scouts educational visit to various houses of worship, including a mosque, as part of the ‘Faith Activity Badge.’ The visit took place at Stirling Islamic Centre in Scotland a few days ago.”

In other words, according to local media, this is not indoctrination; it is education. And to call that a bunch of gobbledygook would be an understatement. And LOL to the fact that they just had to throw in the “Islamophobia” slander. In case it was not clear, no one buys that crap anymore.

In order to achieve this badge, Scouts can visit a place of worship and tell other Scouts about what they learned. This can include visiting a mosque to learn about Islam. That explains why they did what they did, but the fact that this is encouraged is proof that Europe has fallen.

In the pursuit of being so incredibly tolerant and inclusive, the left has favored whatever this is; the fact that this is not controversial for many people is a scandal in itself.

University of Iowa students must take Intellectual Freedom classes whether they want to or not– boingboing.net

The Center for Intellectual Freedom is a comically-named educational institution established by Iowa’s conservative legislature to counter the liberal indoctrination of traditional education. Few students have availed themselves of its “top-tier scholarship,” though, though, leaving commissars with a numbers problem. A solution is at hand: force University of Iowa students to take classes there if they want to graduate.

Republican lawmakers added a provision to a massive budget bill during a 35-hour legislative session requiring University of Iowa students to complete at least six credit hours from the center to earn an undergraduate degree. The bill now heads to Gov. Kim Reynolds’ desk.

The center opened in the spring semester, having been allocated $1m in funding with millions more to come, but enrollment is “dismal”. A report impressed upon its readers the need to require students to take the courses if they are to bother. The bill doesn’t become law until Gov. Kim Reynolds signs it; she may also veto it or use a line-item veto to strip the requirement.

The center launched two one-credit hour classes in late March. Numbers from the University’s website show one class has just 8 of 32 seats filled, and the other has 11 of 32 seats filled. Ben Murrey of the nonprofit research group Common Sense Institute, which the center hired to analyze demand and student interest, said he is not surprised by the low turnout. … “it’s remarkable that they got really any enrollment at all.”

MEXICO CITY — The Trump administration has deported nearly 13,000 Cubans, Venezuelans and other nationals to Mexico, where they are vulnerable to cartel violence in an unfamiliar country, a report by Human Rights Watch released Wednesday said.

While Mexico has accepted these types of deportations for years, the deportees under the Trump administration are older and have lived in the U.S. for longer than in the past, making it more difficult for them to find work and increasing the urgency of the need for medical care.

The report, which is based on more than 50 interviews in the southern Mexican cities Tapachula and Villahermosa, comes as U.S. President Donald Trump has expanded immigration enforcement to carry out his mass deportation plan.

Eleven months ago in these pages, I argued that task forces would not cut it. President Trump needed a truth and reconciliation commission.

I noted at the time that the Biden administration oversaw one of the most sweeping campaigns of federal abuse in modern American history. Nearly every major department played a role.
