RALEIGH, N.C. -- Abortion continues to be a key part of Democrats' election playbook in North Carolina, which for 2024 will include what abortion-rights advocates call an unprecedented investment in get-out-the-vote efforts.

Planned Parenthood affiliated groups in North Carolina announced on Thursday a $10 million campaign in the state that largely focuses on persuading people concerned about narrowing abortion access to vote in November.

The spend, according to representatives for Planned Parenthood Votes and Planned Parenthood Action PAC North Carolina, attempts to end both a GOP supermajority at the General Assembly that enacted new abortion limits last year and to defeat Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson, who wants the law to become more restrictive.

The $10 million marks the largest campaign investment ever made by Planned Parenthood entities in North Carolina, Planned Parenthood Votes spokesperson Emily Thompson said.

Restore Order and Crush the Campus Jihadist Thugs › American Greatness
Josh Hammer

In his 1790 letter to the Hebrew Congregation in Newport, Rhode Island, President George Washington reached a stirring conclusion: “May the Children of the Stock of Abraham, who dwell in this land, continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other Inhabitants; while every one shall sit in safety under his own vine and fig tree, and there shall be none to make him afraid.”

Washington is rolling in his grave right now at Mount Vernon.

Jews are so “afraid” at Columbia University that an Orthodox campus rabbi recently urged students to “return home as soon as possible.” The situation at many purportedly “elite” universities is dire, as jihadist mania supplants Black Lives Matter as the vogue, faux-moral cause rotting the minds of impressionable Gen Zers.

Hamas’ useful campus idiots are, at best, blithering morons. They do not realize that Zionism—the Jewish people’s national liberation movement in their ancestral homeland—is the quintessence of the very “anticolonialism” and “indigenous people’s rights” they claim to champion. They are clueless about international law and how the doctrine of uti possidetis juris establishes that Israel has the best legal claim to Judea and Samaria (i.e., the West Bank). They know nothing about warfighting; John Spencer, head of urban warfare studies at West Point, has demonstrated that Israel’s combatant-to-civilian death ratio in Gaza since the war began is “historically low for modern urban warfare.”

Inflation rose to 2.7% in March in preferred Fed gauge

Inflation ticked up to 2.7% for the year ending in March, as measured by the personal consumption expenditures price index, which is the gauge favored by the Federal Reserve.

The 0.2 percentage point rise in headline inflation reported Friday morning by the Bureau of Economic Analysis is bad news for the Fed, which is working to quash inflation by keeping interest rates elevated. The consensus among economists was that PCE inflation would punch in at 2.6%. The Fed’s target is 2% inflation in the PCE index.

From February to March, inflation rose 0.3%, which is about in line with forecast expectations.

Core PCE inflation, a measure of inflation that strips out volatile energy and food prices, rose to a 2.8% year-over-year rate.
“Net, net, this wasn’t the data the doctor ordered for Fed officials looking for confidence that inflation was back on a downward path, so those three rate cuts penciled in for this year may get cut back to just a couple, assuming inflation slows in the second quarter,” said Chris Rupkey, chief economist at FWDBONDS.

The news comes a day after the GDP report, which showed that economic expansion fell well short of expectations in the first quarter of the year. The economy expanded at a 1.6% seasonally adjusted annual rate in the first quarter, far short of the 2.5% that was expected.

Friday’s PCE index report follows two other inflation reports for March — the closely watched consumer price index and the producer price index, which measures the prices paid by producers.
