CNN’s Nick Ackerman just admitted elections don’t matter if he dislikes the winner. His argument? Trump’s appointees “don’t know anything,” so their authority should be dismissed. This is the mindset of the elite—if democracy doesn’t serve their interests, they nullify it. The same Watergate prosecutor who has been predicting Trump’s downfall for years now openly …
The Fed’s sustained purchase of mortgage-backed securities post-crisis isn’t just an oversight; it’s a massive market distortion. For years, they created artificial demand that kept mortgage rates unnaturally low, making homeownership seem more accessible while inflating home prices. The truth is, we’ve been living in a housing bubble held together by Fed policy. The ramifications …
President Donald Trump said he will meet Vladimir Putin to negotiate peace in Ukraine and their first sit-down will likely be in Saudi Arabia.

It’s infuriating to see what’s being pushed on young children in the name of inclusivity. A book about “LGBTQIA+ identities” shouldn’t include graphic depictions of bondage and nudity for first through fifth graders. Parents have every right to be enraged. New York Attorney General and Commissioner of Education sent a letter to all schools in …
CBS — U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia must include security guarantees for Ukraine, but that they “should not be provided through NATO membership, but must instead be backed by capable European and non-European troops.” The defense chief spoke not long before President Trump announced in a social media post that he had …

If there’s a “constitutional crisis” it’s caused by activist federal district judges with narrow jurisdictions usurping the powers of the presidency. @GovChrisSununu and I take on the left last night on @cnn.

Germany’s economy is struggling, but the DAX keeps soaring to fresh all-time highs. How? It’s a blatant disconnect from reality. Manufacturing is in decline, energy costs are crippling industries, and consumer sentiment is weak—yet the market marches higher. This isn’t growth; it’s artificial inflation propped up by central banks and corporate buybacks. At some point, …

It’s wild how much has changed in such a short time. The buyout program initiated by Trump and pushed forward by Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency has seen a staggering 75,000 federal workers walk away with a package they just couldn’t refuse.

The gold-to-oil ratio just hit its highest level—something that would have sounded like pure fantasy just a few years ago.

This new bill in Ohio—demanding men have the “intention to become fathers” when having sex—is beyond ridiculous. It’s a direct attack on pro-life values, but it misses the mark on every level. Who’s going to enforce this? Will we have to carry “intent” certificates to prove we’re not violating the law? It’s a nonsensical political …
Trump isn’t holding back. He claims his administration discovered massive kickbacks in the federal government, citing a review of 200 expenditures where only three looked legitimate. This isn’t just poor management—it’s a corrupt system robbing the American people blind. Every dollar spent is a potential kickback, and taxpayers are left footing the bill. JUST IN: …

The latest NARA emails are a bombshell—further confirming the Trump classified documents case was never about justice, but a politically motivated attack. From the start, the Biden White House was involved, pulling strings long before NARA officially referred the matter to the DOJ. The timeline doesn’t lie. NARA was already frustrated and pushing for action …
