WASHINGTON D.C. - While Democrats are attempting to tout their message of “joy” at their convention, Americans are suffering from the Biden-Harris inflation. Now, even the cost of eggs — a basic grocery staple — has shot up 147 percent since President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have taken office three and a half years ago.
Data from the Producer Price Index data, not seasonally adjusted, shows that the price of eggs has shot up 147 percent from January 2021 to July 2024, covering nearly the entirety of Biden and Harris’s time in office. This is an economic reality Americans have continued to grapple with over the course of the Biden-Harris administration, despite the fact that the White House remains in complete denial. In fact, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed in June that grocery prices went down under Biden’s leadership. That, of course, is categorically untrue, as Americans are facing the worst food inflation in nearly half a century. Click here to read more.

CARROLL COUNTY, Ga. — The wife of a Carroll County deputy shot in the line of duty says the family is overwhelmed by the love, prayers and well wishes that have poured in from the community.

WASHINGTON D.C. - The U.S. Postal Service is considering swapping some resources that would speed up delivery times for most of its customers, but it would come at the expense of those who live in rural and far-flung locations, according to a report in The Washington Post.
“We’re trying to save the Postal Service — not figuratively, not to advocate for something. We’re trying to literally save the Postal Service,” Postmaster General Louis DeJoy told the Post.
The plan is part of a larger proposal that hopes to save about $3 billion a year. It involves letting some mail and packages sit in some post offices and distribution hubs for an extra day instead of processing and moving them immediately. That would allow USPS to devote more energy to serving the vast majority of customers who live within 50 miles of a mail processing center. Click here to read more.

KANSAS CITY, MO - Consumers have been hammered with inflation on groceries during the past four years. Illinois was heading in the right direction by eliminating the tax on them, but now communities are faced with either imposing a new grocery tax or losing the money.
Grocery prices ballooned by nearly $3,000 in just the past four years in the U.S., a massive increase considering prices only increased by about half that amount in the 10 years before 2020.
Illinois prices were similar, but Illinois has been one of only 13 states that taxed those groceries. It seemed as if Gov. J.B. Pritzker was eliminating that 1% grocery tax starting in 2026, but now local communities are faced with an ugly choice: reimpose the 1% tax on residents or give up the grocery tax revenue.

DETROIT, Mich - Donnell Holmes' grief is unimaginable. Thursday marked a year since his beloved infant son died of an overdose.
Just a year old, his son Renteis Keleo Goode died Aug. 22 of 2023 from fentanyl. His death was ruled a homicide. Detroit police requested a warrant for arrest. But it was denied by the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office.
"I’m just not understanding what the problem is with this case, it’s just being swept under the rug," said father Donnell Holmes. "And the excuse they gave me was there were two adults in the house and both of them are going to say ‘I didn’t do it’ and nowhere in the world does that make sense.
"They said there was another girl up there. I mean, charge both of them."
Holmes is Prenteis’ dad. FOX 2 interviewed him last year when he was getting the runaround from the prosecutor’s office. Click here to read more.
