US egg prices crash 86% since March highs — why is the egg rate plunging so fast, and should Americans expect cheaper grocery shelves ahead?

The Economic Times 

"Egg prices in the U.S. have crashed dramatically in 2025, down 86% from their March peak. While wholesale prices show deep cuts, grocery store prices remain higher due to lag effects."

"US egg prices October 2025 have collapsed at a record pace. According to the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), wholesale egg prices have dropped 86% since March, falling from about $8.20 per dozen to just $1.15 per dozen this month.

"It marks one of the steepest declines in the U.S. food market since 2023. The fall comes after prices soared earlier this year amid supply shortages and bird flu outbreaks that disrupted millions of laying hens nationwide.

"In March 2025, the average retail price of a dozen Grade A eggs hit $6.23, before slipping to $5.12 in April, based on USDA Economic Research Service (ERS) data. Wholesale prices, meanwhile, reacted faster — diving as production rebounded and supply chains stabilized." . . .

. . . "Why are egg prices falling so fast now?

"Economists say the fall is driven by a recovery in supply and easing costs across the poultry sector. After the avian flu outbreak earlier this year wiped out millions of laying hens, production has now rebounded. Flock numbers have stabilized, easing the shortage that drove prices to record highs.

"At the same time, demand has softened as inflation-weary shoppers shifted to cheaper protein options like chicken or beans." More...    All emphases in original.

Mad man Mamdani makes the megalopolis morbid

 

 Andrew Thomas at Dark Angel Politics.

Mamdani promises to get along with cops — Group that helped him wants jails emptied   "Socialist New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani promises to respect police officers, but leaders of the “abolitionist” group that helped him seize power say they are “pigs” and “lazy cowards.”

"The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) member will control one of the nation’s largest police forces upon taking office Jan. 1. Mamdani previously advocated for dismantling the NYPD as a state assemblyman, a stance aligned with the DSA’s platform.

"Mamdani told the press while campaigning that his public safety agenda is more moderate than the DSA’s, despite winning the mayoral election with help from thousands of DSA staffers and volunteers.

"Mamdani will inherit a myriad of public safety problems as mayor, including Rikers Island’s uncertain future, the New York Police Department (NYPD) bleeding officers by the hundreds and a COVID-19 pandemic-era crime spike that has not waned.

"Misdemeanors, “major” felonies and non-major felonies in New York City have been more frequent in every year since 2020, according to NYPD data. The city’s seven major felonies combined — murder, rape, robbery, felony assault, burglary, grand larceny and grand larceny of motor vehicle — hit a 17-year high of 126,786 in 2023 and decreased by just 2.2% in 2024.

If the DSA has its way, Mamdani will abolish the justice system as we know it." . . . More...

In California, Hate Won Again

 American Greatness 

"California’s voters, blinded by hatred of Trump, keep empowering the corrupt coalition that’s driving the Golden State into decay, debt, and disorder."

“ 'Stick it to Trump.” That is the strategy of the Democratic Party in California, and it’s working. For 28 years, the Democrats have controlled both houses of the state legislature, and apart from Schwarzenegger’s interlude from 2004 to 2010, there’s been a Democrat governor since 1999. Nothing seems likely to change; this month, California’s voters approved a redistricting plan that is expected to reduce the number of Republican U.S. Congressmen to four out of 52. Democratic dominance in California’s cities and counties is equally absolute.

"And yet they’re not accountable. Democrats in California have perfected the art of persuasion with an electorate that for over two generations has been indoctrinated in public schools by teachers who themselves have been indoctrinated to hate capitalism, resent wealth, rebuke “whiteness,” and celebrate hedonism. All Democrat candidates have to say is “protect abortion,” “fight racism,” “climate emergency,” or “stop the Nazis,” and voter reaction is Pavlovian. Peak conditioning was achieved in the special election of 2025, when all they had to say was “stick it to Trump,” who they have turned into the biggest boogeyman since Hitler (someone who, just to be clear, really was a boogeyman).

"So who are these Democrats? Who are the elites that have locked down the largest state in America, and who aspire to extend their dominion over the rest of America?

"The figurehead, of course, is the suddenly pugilistic Gavin Newsom, a gifted politician and a terrible governor. His latest schtick is to throw out profanity and threats as if he’s the noirish reincarnation of a 1930s gangster. And in an intriguing twist, this phony act camouflages a genuine thug because the substance of Newsom and the machine he represents are crimes against the people of California, justified and sold with lies.

"Newsom is the front man for a coalition of public sector unions, including the communist teachers union, radical environmentalists and their crony corporate backers, grifting “homeless advocates” and the politically connected and taxpayer subsidized developers who back them, a public sector bureaucracy that preys on law abiding people trying to run small businesses while deliberately ignoring an entire underground economy of illegal immigrants, trial attorneys and litigators who feed on private attorney general laws that empower them to exploit countless laws and regulations to extort money from honest people, addict enabling civil liberty extremists and the libertarian dupes who find common cause with them,  drug addicts, drug dealers, and drug cartels who control entire sections of California’s major cities and thousands of square miles of territory in California’s remote northern counties." . . .

What New York City Has to Look Forward To

 Townhall 

 "My guess is his commitment to Marxism is far greater than his commitment to Islam, but maybe not. Maybe he will try to turn NYC into a Muslim Mecca. It wouldn't surprise me." . . .

"New York City, of course, recently elected a "Marxist Muslim" as mayor of the city. How much of either (Marxism or Islam) Zohran Mamdani will be able to impose upon the city is yet to be determined, but that is what he calls himself. Marxism, as I shall demonstrate, is an all-encompassing world philosophy, but its main emphasis is on economics—socialism. Let's look at what the people of New York City have to look forward to if Mamdani gets his Marxist way.

The Abolition of Private Property

"The theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private property." It's the first point of Marx's "Communist Manifesto," and Mamdani said he believes it. Of course, what Marx and communists actually mean is "private property for me, but not for thee." Do you think Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT) is going to sacrifice his three houses, or Ben and Jerry will give their land back to Native Americans? 

"Communism always has a "ruling class" ("nomenklatura"), and they do just fine, economically, thank you very much, with their lovely dachas in the countryside and new cars the peasants could never afford. Abolition of private property might be difficult for Mamdani in rich New York, but we'll see how he does.

The Destruction of Religion

"My object is to dethrone God and destroy capitalism." "Communism begins where atheism begins." "The first requisite for the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion." All these quotes are from Marx and present an interesting paradox for Mamdani, supposedly a devout Muslim. Is Allah pleased with Marx's denunciation of a God? Does Mamdani believe in Islam and Marxian economics? How is he going to divide it up? My guess is his commitment to Marxism is far greater than his commitment to Islam, but maybe not. Maybe he will try to turn NYC into a Muslim Mecca. It wouldn't surprise me." . . .

Business Mogul ABANDONS New York Over Zohran Mamdani As Residents FLEE to Red States!   "New York City is officially in trouble. As Zohran Mamdani prepares to take over as the next mayor, major businesses are already pulling out, canceling expansion plans, and warning that NYC is becoming completely hostile to investment. And they’re not alone — longtime residents are packing up and heading straight to red states in search of lower taxes, safer streets, and real economic opportunity."

"Seize the building? When was the last time anything became better when the govt took over? . History repeats itself. Nothing new under the sun. This will fail and it will teach the youth that Communism DOESNT WORK! If you have a slumlord here’s one thing you can do. Move out and bankrupt them. Leave bad reviews so they can’t get business. They will be forced to sell to a proper landlord. That’s how it works!"

We hear those same youthful, girlish voices cheering Mamdani that we heard in Kamala and Jasmine Crockett rallies, pro-Hamas rallies, and anti-Trump demonstrations. TD
