Including rising grocery store prices, Trump appears to have forgotten that, “It’s the Economy, Stupid!” With Americans growing more frustrated by the day about the price of gas, Trump brushed it off yesterday saying prices are \"not very high.” He said, gas is “not as high as what was expected from the war” and higher prices are worth it to keep Iran from having a nuclear weapon. By ignoring the economy in favor of war, is Trump pushing Americans away with the midterm elections coming up? We’ll discuss. From religion and the Pope to Iran and Hegseth’s impeachment charges being filed, we will cover the top stories of the week with Michael Shure and Mo Kelly. Then it’s off to swing by Suite 106 bakery to check out the new flavors on tap for Mother’s Day! We’ll roll through Florida for some Friday fabulousness. Finally, our Culture Blaster, Michael Snyder, will stop through to share his thoughts on the best movies and streaming options to watch. Happy Friday!","meta_description":"For a man who won the presidency seemingly based on the high cost of living.
