Alex Karp just said what millions are thinking but are too afraid to say.

February 19, 2025 12:40 pmFebruary 19, 2025 10:46 am

In Germany, even discussing migration openly is taboo. In America, questioning it gets you labeled every name in the book. Why? Because the people in power know the truth is dangerous to their agenda. They silence the debate because they can’t defend their policies. And Karp is right—this isn’t working. The border is a disaster. …

Why Official Inflation Reports Are Dead Wrong

February 14, 2025 9:44 pm

Recent official inflation reports are disheartening. What’s worse, they simply don’t reflect the reality faced by everyday American families. Today we take a deep dive into how inflation itself, the official headline CPI, is measured. What if we’ve been measuring the wrong things? By Peter Reagan I hate to be the bearer of bad news, …

Unemployment and Inflation are ‘much higher’ than reported.

February 12, 2025 10:46 am

Voters weren’t crazy. The economy felt worse because it was worse. The government cooked the books, pretending unemployment was low, wages were up, and growth was strong—meanwhile, people were struggling to pay rent and keep food on the table. Washington elites dismissed their concerns as ignorance, blaming “right-wing media” instead of asking the real question: …

Rogan’s not wrong. Elon Musk isn’t the guy people should be worried about. The real crooks are the ones hiding behind government bureaucracy

These politicians, who are supposed to be public servants, making a modest $180K a year, somehow end up with $30 million portfolios. And nobody asks how? Nobody demands answers? They sit on committees, get inside …

Rand Paul — I will vote No on Trump’s budget unless there are huge spending cuts.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) says he “won’t vote for” a reconciliation package that is not fully paid for with real spending cuts, he told Axios.

Congress Slowly Realizing Promised Tax Cuts Are Unaffordable – What’s Next?
