Many of you are probably ‘Out and About’ in the stores doing your Christmas shopping. I am sure you are finding higher prices on many items. Or perhaps, you cannot find many items because they are Out Of Stock. I am going to tell you why this is happening. Last week I heard Old Joe on the News making a statement that the retail stores should stop gouging people with higher prices. Basically, telling us that was wrong. Yes, gouging is wrong, but that is not the case. I wonder: Does Old Joe not know the truth? Is he really that much in the dark on International situations? I think he is.
The fact is, every day huge container ships pass through the Panama Canal. They carry tons of goods, much of which, are heading to our department stores. There has been a drought in Panama. The rainy season was short with less rain than usual. That very much affected the water that is used for the locks, which comes from two very large fresh water lakes in Panama. In the past up to 38 container ships would pass through per day. They have reduced the number to 18 vessels. Due to such a backup, now reservations are needed to pass through the canal. Many vessels are now going in the opposite direction, rerouting around South Africa’s Cape of Good Hope and through Egypt’s Suez Canal. This adds 10 to 21 days to the trip. Of course you would expect added cost for the extra days on the water for the vessel and crew. Now for more bad news, Panama has just gone into its dry season. It will normally stay dry in Panama until the rainy season starts again around April. Even then, the rainy season starts out slow. An hour or two of rain in the afternoons per day for a month or so will increase each month with more rain.
I wish to help make people aware of the reason the price of many goods is going up in the stores. Old Joe may not know or chooses not to tell the facts, but in either case…I bet he is looking for a way to blame it on Trump.
Remember friends, Trump told us that he is the only thing standing between the American dream and total anarchy. I do believe it. I Pray for our President Trump every day. He is carrying the heaviest burden any one could carry with all they are putting him through, but be assured with faith and prayer we can keep his head above water. We must do that! We so desperately need Donald Trump back. I recently heard on TV that Old Joe usually puts in about 4 hours of work a day. Do you not remember that President Trump is a person who requires very little sleep? He put in countless hours per day working for the American People. MAGA

I LOVED THIS. Like I’ve said many times…..the people who continue to force injustice on our President Trump should remember, HE is the ONLY President who did MORE for this country in his first 100 days than any president in office during my lifetime. Seems the opposing party is ‘trying’ to extend more bad news to keep Mr. Trump ‘tied up’ should themselves be tied up!!!
Ahh …so true!
There is nothing much we can do for President Trump that has not been tried already. As Americans we need to stand up to the evil people who have taken over our country.
As far as the high prices and availability of items at the store, we also need to look at the demorat controlled labor unions. They have gone on strike to get higher wages that are already more that most people make. This is also causing higher prices and when they strike nothing moves and so the stores are out of stock. At one time in our country there was a need for unions, BUT that time has past. They are nothing more than criminal organizations. Operated by and for the demorats in office.
Just my .02 cents!!!!
Yes Fred I do agree with you on the Unions. I have always hated them.
