'Disrupt wherever I can' ... 'I felt like a double agent' ... 'Huge contingent' of white boys 'are just horrible'

Project Veritas released a second video in its newly launched Education Series today exposing a senior administrator at a prestigious New York City private school.

Jennifer Norris, who is employed by Trinity School NYC as its Director of Student Activities, was recorded admitting how her current leadership role facilitates her goal of promoting politics in the classroom.

"I just keep trying to disrupt wherever I can," Norris said. "And now that I'm in this position, I have so many opportunities to do that."

The school official claims she uses her time at work to advance her ideological objectives.

Average annual grocery bills in Britain are set to surge by £572 per household, according to a study

Britain's cost of living crisis is worsening, with food inflation hitting the highest level since the 2008 financial crisis. Grocery costs climbed by 12.4% in the year leading up to August, market research firm Kantar reported on Tuesday.

"The latest figure means that the average annual grocery bill will go from £4,610 ($5,410) to £5,181 ($6,080) if consumers don't make changes to what they buy and how they shop to cut costs", the report stated.

The Democrat mayor of New Orleans is refusing to reimburse the almost $30,000 of taxpayer money she has spent upgrading flights to first class or business class, despite city policy — after she insisted it was for her safety as a black woman.

Mayor LaToya Cantrell told local reporters Thursday she won't fork over the exorbitant fees she charged for the upgraded tickets, including an $18,000 first-class trip to France over the summer.

Since January 2021, Cantrell has charged the city of New Orleans $29,000 to travel first- or business-class instead of coach, The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate reported.

"All expenses incurred doing business on behalf of the city of New Orleans will not be reimbursed to the city of New Orleans," she insisted, according to WWL.

"One thing is clear: I do my job, and I will continue to do it with distinction and integrity every step of the way. That's what I have to say on that."

Her defiance goes against the city's travel policy, which states that New Orleans municipal workers must select the cheapest fight — or pay back the difference.

"Employees are required to purchase the lowest airfare available... Employees who choose an upgrade from coach, economy, or business class flights are solely responsible for the difference in cost," the policy reads, according to WWL.

"Any reconciliation of travel expenses that results in overpayment by the City requires that the employee reimburse the City within twenty business days," it continues.

However, Cantrell's chief administrative officer Gilbert Montaño told the Times-Picayune it's unclear if the reimbursement policy actually applies to elected officials.

Her administration is questioning whether Cantrell is required to abide by the travel policy as an elected official like rank-and-file employees must, the newspaper reported.

Meanwhile, Cantrell last month defended the sky-high amount of taxpayer dollars she spent on herself by claiming it was all about her safety — and not luxury.

"As all women know, our health and safety are often disregarded and we are left to navigate alone," she told the Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate in August.

"As the mother of a young child whom I live for, I am going to protect myself by any reasonable means in order to ensure I am there to see her grow into the strong woman I am raising her to be," she continued.

"Anyone who wants to question how I protect myself just doesn't understand the world Black women walk in."


On one occasion, Cantrell's flights cost nine times that of an aide who accompanied her but flew in coach, the local newspaper reported.

The $18,000 return trip to France over the summer was to sign an agreement on an existing partnership with a small city on the Mediterranean Sea.

The democrat's doubling-down comes as a new poll shows strong support for her recall.

More than half (55.4%) of the some 400 registered voters surveyed supported a recall, according to WVUE. The survey was conducted Aug. 30 to Sept. 1 by Edgewater Research and My People Vote.

Payment processor Visa announced Saturday its plans to separately categorize gun shop sales, joining Mastercard and American Express, which have already said they would categorize purchases at firearm stores.

Visa said it would apply the International Organization for Standardization's new merchant code to gun shop sales. The new IOS code was announced on Friday. Previously, gun store sales were labeled as "general merchandise."

"Following ISO's decision to establish a new merchant category code, Visa will proceed with next steps, while ensuring we protect all legal commerce on the Visa network in accordance with our long-standing rules," Visa said in a statement.

The move by Visa signals a major victory for gun control advocates who argue that a separate category for gun store sales will help track suspicious quantities of firearm sales that could potentially lead to a mass shooting.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Monday obtained Attorney General Merrick Garland's wide-reaching subpoenas demanding dozens of allies of former president Donald Trump hand over all their communications related to "any claim that the vice president and/or president of the Senate had the authority to reject or choose not to count presidential electors."

The trans activist group Trans Action Block and Leeds Antifa are planning to protest a peaceful lesbian rally slated to be held in Leeds next weekend.

"It has come to our attention that Trans Action Bloc and Leeds Antifa are planning to protest our peaceful march a rally to come together as exclusively same sex attracted lesbians and celebrate who we are and who we love," rally organizers Lesbian Strength Collective said in a statement.

They went on to say that their "primary commitment is to the safety and well being" of all their attendees, and that they intended to update the police and their security firm about the situation.

A group of over 100 migrants from the southern border were moved to an Illinois suburb after being welcomed in Chicago - an action that is reportedly frustrating local officials.

The migrants are staying at a Hampton Inn in Burr Ridge and a Holiday Inn in Countryside, according to reporting by WGN-TV. An estimated 300 migrants have been bused from Texas to Chicago in the past two weeks.

While Chicago is a sanctuary city and Cook County is a sanctuary county, the migrants at the Burr Ridge Hampton Inn are in DuPage County. The county's sanctuary status is unclear. However, Burr Ridge Republican Mayor Garry Grasso previously said he would work to secure the border and "defund sanctuary cities," according to WGN-TV.

Just when it seems like we can't possibly go any lower, we always manage to top ourselves. In the old days, every once in a while I would come across a story that would make me shake my head in disbelief because it was just so absurd. Now it is happening on a daily basis. In this article I am going to share some examples with you. I realize that some of these things are difficult to believe, but all of them are true. Our country really is coming apart at the seams right in front of our eyes, and the pace of our national decline only seems to be accelerating. If we are not able to turn our cultural decay around, eventually we will not have a country at all.

Let me start with a new law which will go into effect in Illinois on January 1st.

From that point forward, those guilty of second-degree murder, kidnapping, burglary and arson will always be released without having to post any bail at all...

Top of mind for economists right now is whether the United States is in or entering a recession, and they are watching several indicators closely for answers.

The economy is not in a declared recession, although views are mixed on whether it might be or is on the brink of tumbling into one. The last time the U.S. was in a recession, as declared by the National Bureau of Economic Research, was a short two-month period at the outset of the pandemic. Before that was the Great Recession.

TRADITIONAL INDICATORS:

GDP: Perhaps the single biggest indicator regarding recessions is GDP growth. A historical rule of thumb is that two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth constitutes a recession. In fact, all of the last 12 recessions identified by the NBER have seen at least two quarters of negative GDP growth, and, conversely, each instance of at least two quarters of negative GDP growth has later been declared a recession.

So when the Bureau of Economic Analysis announced in a revised estimate that GDP fell at a 0.6% annualized rate in the second quarter, economists took notice. That came after negative 1.6% GDP growth in the first quarter.

Job growth: Still, another major indicator is cutting against the notion that the economy is recessed — the country's surprisingly resilient labor market. Job growth has averaged 378,000 over the past three months, a very strong pace.

The unemployment rate is also shockingly low given the prospects of a recession. While it recently ticked up to a still-low 3.7%, it clocked in at a historic 3.5% in recent months — matching the ultralow level it was at right before the pandemic when the economy was robust and growing.

Next week the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is likely to print its first negative month-to-month reading since May of 2020.

The Department of Labor said a month ago that CPI was "unchanged" in June, meaning the weighted index of prices paid by U.S. households had not risen from the May reading. This caused a good deal of confusion across the political spectrum. On the one hand, some conservatives understood this to mean that inflation had maintained the May pace when in fact it had fallen. On the other hand, some on the left said this meant that there was no inflation in the month. In fact, there was plenty of inflation — especially in food prices — but this was overwhelmed by the fall in gasoline prices.

Gas prices have now fallen for 13 consecutive weeks — 88 consecutive days — and were falling throughout August. From August 1 through September 1, gasoline prices fell 10.6 percent, according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. That's a slightly slower pace than the July decline; but, with gasoline accounts for just about six percent of the CPI, that's probably enough to guarantee a decline in the CPI.

Wall Street expects headline inflation to come down by 0.1 percent. Similar to last month, however, that headline decline will conceal a gain in underlying inflation. Core inflation, which excludes energy and food, is expected to rise 0.3 percent, matching the July figure. It's very likely that food inflation will remain extremely elevated, bringing our measure of underlying inflation — core inflation plus food price, or foodcore — up even more. The Cleveland Fed's measures of underlying inflation are likely to come in near last month's reading of a 0.5 percent rise for median inflation and 0.4 for "16% trimmed mean" inflation.
