Interviewer Sarah Ferguson blamed Biden: "Wasn't his refusal to recognize his own frailties the reason that you faced a nearly impossible task?" When Harris shifted to saying Trump was the real challenge, Ferguson called her out: "I want to interrupt you because that is a world-class pivot, but it is not the question that I asked you, which is about Joe Biden's failure to recognize his own frailties and what that did to you. The question is about Joe Biden.
Somewhere in America, a small business owner is checking their email, waiting for an approval for their loan that is not coming. Another is checking their payroll, trying to decide if they can make it another day without Small Business Administration (SBA) assistance or whether they will be forced to close their doors. Plans are stalled, paychecks are delayed, and confidence has slipped.
Steve Moore, co-founder of the Committee to Unleash Prosperity, and a former senior Trump economic adviser, writes, "New York has lost nearly two million residents to other states over the last decade, and New Jersey almost a half million. New York has lost roughly $111 billion in income and New Jersey has lost $31 billion. These states must change or the last person in the state will have to turn off the lights."
Many think that the massive investment in artificial intelligence (AI) is creating a massive investment bubble. Will Kenton for Investopedia explains, "An economic bubble is marked by rapid escalation in asset prices, often due to speculative behavior, followed by a sharp contraction." In Forbes, Peter Cohan warns that a burst would wipe out $40 trillion from the Nasdaq. And here's some more fun: Bubbly AI investment is pretty much the only thing going on in the US economy.
Trump wants to talk, not just preen for the cameras or post a statement — he wants the handshake, the eye contact, the deal. He’s signaling to the world that America is still willing to lead, not hide. By saying he’ll stay in Asia longer to meet Kim, he’s doing what real leaders do — keeping communication lines open while keeping the upper hand. It’s unpredictable, sure. Risky, maybe.
Democratic candidate for attorney general, Jay Jones, sending text messages to a colleague in 2022 wishing that someone would put “two bullets” in the head of then-Republican Speaker of the House of Delegates, Todd Gilbert. Jones went on to say that Gilbert and his wife were raising their two toddlers to be “little fascists,” that Gilbert was a “POS” whose grave he wished to “piss on,” and that one of Gilbert’s children would die in his mother’s arms. He could be my state’s next chief law enforcement officer.
President Donald J. Trump is taking a bold stand against China and unfair trade, and the results are unmistakable. The stock market is soaring, inflation is nearly invisible, employment is holding steady, and American manufacturing is roaring back to life. The same economists who predicted collapse under Trump’s trade policies are now forced to confront an inconvenient truth: the United States is thriving precisely because we chose to fight back.
People who are protesting and complaining that President Trump is behaving like a dictator apparently skipped history classes or took them at liberal universities where professors have rewritten the subject to conform to their worldview. Mark Levin, who hosts a daily syndicated radio program and weekend programs on Fox News Channel reminded his audience that some who are regarded as some of our best presidents did things far worse than what Trump is accused of doing.
D.C. Superior Court Judge Kendra Briggs was more than understanding with the 15-year-old girl who pepper-sprayed a man as a friend pummeled him, and others in her group tried to steal his car. The perpetrator has had a difficult life, Briggs noted. "I know you are not unfamiliar to trauma... the trauma you've already suffered in life is kind of how you ended up on U Street that day," she said. Donald Trump should receive credit for his efforts to break up this system. It makes a mockery of justice.
Anyone who believes Saturday's "No Kings" demonstrations were not organized & largely paid for by left-wing groups hasn't been paying attention. The New York Times claims there's "no evidence" the event was subsidized by billionaire George Soros and others. That's because the underwriting isn't given directly – its filtered through groups that wipe clean the donor's fingerprints, like the Mafia used to launder money.
Yesterday was the “No Showers”... I mean, the “No Kings” rally. A bunch of unlovable, older Americans (by & large,) took time away from cyber-stalking the Social Media people they subscribe to and got a little free sunlight and Vitamin D to fight off the onset of rickets. And for the first time in years, the nation's major liberal cities went from smelling like pot and tear gas, to smelling like pot and tear gas and body odor, because that’s how liberals roll.
On Thursday, Senate Democrats voted for the 10th time to prolong the federal government shutdown. They also voted against funding the military, thereby necessitating that the Pentagon initiate some innovative accounting in order to ensure service members are paid on time. Most commonsense Americans understand that there is no reason paying America's warriors should be held hostage to arcane debates over housing policy.
“Standards are back at the @DeptofWar” posted Pete Hegseth on X, which upset some wimpy liberals and Democrats on the left – but if a career field includes protecting and saving human life, common sense and self-survival dictate those who enter those fields should be physically qualified and able to carry out their duties. And when a person is the best candidate for a job, he or she should get it. Period.
From moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem in his first tern, to this week's peace deal in Gaza, President Trump has done more for the Middle East's security and future than any leader in living memory. Peace, especially in Israel and Gaza, never arrives by accident and takes clarity, courage when the world says it can't be done. Trump is not the man the world expected to do it, but he is the one being used to change the course of history.
When America looks back at the COVID era, history will not be kind to Randi Weingarten and the American Federation of Teachers. At a time when our nation’s children needed leadership, compassion, and courage, Weingarten delivered none of it. Instead, she manipulated the crisis of school closures to expand her own political influence, sacrificing the futures of millions of kids and betraying the trust of parents across this country.
Van Jones – the CNN Host & Commentator – recently complained that neither the Global Left nor the Mainstream Media are covering the horrific violence against Nigerian civilians by Islamic Terrorists. True, they are not reporting the slaughter – and truer still, they should be. Jones, however, went completely off the rails when he blamed "The Jews" – or as he put it, "No Jews, No News"... a stereotyped statement as antisemitic as it is untrue.
Most shutdowns in Washington are about numbers on a spreadsheet or spending caps. This one is different. The current shutdown, now entering its second week, comes down to a single question: should American taxpayers be forced to pay for Medicaid benefits for illegal immigrants? Democrats have answered yes. Republicans have answered no. At the center of the fight is a provision of the Big Beautiful Bill, passed earlier this year, which closed one of Medicaid’s most expensive and abused loopholes.
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson went to court Monday to stop President Donald Trump from sending National Guard troops to the Windy City, calling mob violence against immigration officials a "flimsy pretext." The Illinois lawsuit claims that Trump is sending the Guard to Chicago to "fight crime," not just protect federal buildings and personnel. Horrors! What's wrong with fighting crime?
One party is forfeiting its own pay and standing up for Troops & Taxpayers alike. The other is hiding behind procedures, pointing fingers, and pretending the problem is someone else’s fault. This isn’t about optics; it’s about integrity. Rejecting pay while government is frozen isn’t just symbolic — it forces everyone else to look bad for not doing it. These aren’t just gestures for show — they underscore a fundamental contrast.
So when Chuck Schumer & Hakeem Jeffries – those self-styled “defenders of democracy” known as "Muchacho" Schumer and "Congress-Hombre" Jeffries – shut down the Federal Government the other day, maybe they’re doing us a favor. Maybe the "Upside Hombres" have given America an accidental gift. When Washington, D.C. shutters its bloated bureaucracies for a few days, turns out there may even be some upsides.
