Debt, illegals, outsourcing -- the United States is heading for a catastrophic fall. Trump understands this. Middle-class America is rapidly going the way of the dinosaur and the dodo bird. And California, where mansions and homeless people abound, is the template Democrats want to bring to America as a whole. Because it suits their needs. Big money donors and poor people in crisis who think they need ‘compassionate’ Democrats’ help. The ‘American Dream’ was that any normal person who worked hard and saved could have a house and a relatively comfortable — and meaningful — life, expecting to live better...

I’ve heard enough about the Crusades, that America was built on stolen land or that Israel sits on occupied land. That’s life. Get over it. The reality is, for most of mankind’s and civilization’s history, the world has been ordered by the most physically powerful individuals and civilizations. I mention the Crusades first because for the last quarter century we’ve been told that Muslim terrorism is somehow understandable because of the Crusades. We’re led to believe that the evil European Christians were invading the lands of the innocent peaceful Muslims and trying to steal the Holy Lands. Well, that is...

A 42-year-old British childminder, Lucy Connolly, was sentenced to 31 months in prison for a social media post supporting mass deportations following a mass stabbing in Southport. The post, published on X and deleted within hours, led to Connolly’s conviction under the Public Order Act for inciting racial hatred. Connolly, described by local families as a respected caregiver to children of various ethnic backgrounds, was arrested at her home while caring for children after she called for “mass deportation,” and said “set fire to all the f-cking hotels full of the bastards for all I care,” adding, “If that makes...

Daily Readings from the USCCBJesus said to those Jews who believed in him, “If you remain in my word, you will truly be my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:31–32These words have the potential to make a transforming difference in our lives. Note that Jesus spoke these words “to those Jews who believed in him.” That is, those who had accepted His word and were, therefore, His true disciples. We who also believe in Jesus should consider these words carefully. The heart of this teaching is twofold: you must come...

Harley-Davidson CEO Jochen Zeitz is set to step down from the company after years of declining sales, which many have attributed to his woke agenda. The decades-old, world-famous company confirmed the news in a press release on Tuesday. Zeitz oversaw the company’s recent sales decline, which ultimately resulted in a rollback of its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies. Between 2022 and 2024, motorcycle sales dropped in all but one quarter compared to the same quarter from the previous year, according to data from Harley-Davidson Investor Relations, via the Daily Caller. In August, the company announced it would ditch DEI...

The Biden administration has been caught red-handed prioritizing Beijing's feelings over American national security. In a shocking revelation, we now know that Biden officials engaged in secret discussions with Chinese counterparts about their spy balloon before bothering to inform the American public that our sovereignty had been violated. According to a report from Fox News Digital, Internal State Department documents reveal that on Feb. 1, 2023, while a Chinese surveillance balloon was floating across our nation collecting intelligence, Biden officials were more concerned about how exposing this breach would affect our "relationship" with China. Seriously? That's right — instead of...

I was raised to respect the Austrian School of economics. From the hardliners at the Foundation for Economic Education (FEE) and Reason to the more moderate libertarians like Milton Friedman and President Reagan, the conservatives of my generation (I’m 62) knew several things with absolute certainty:· Taxation is Theft.· The most important goal of our Founding Fathers was limiting the size and scope of government.· The Invisible Hand of the Free Market delivers the best results for the consumer.At the same time, however, we recognized certain other fundamental truths of government:· Government is instituted to protect society from external enemies...

Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson Pocahontas Elizabeth Warren says NO ONE is interested in making investments in the United States after President Trump's tariffs. Does she live under a rock? President Trump has already secured TRILLIONS in investments. 11:32 AM · Apr 9, 2025

WASHINGTON — Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer backed the idea behind President Trump’s sweeping reciprocal tariffs Wednesday morning, but argued that levies should be “used like a scalpel.” Whitmer, seen by many as a possible contender for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination, told an audience in the nation’s capital that “I understand the motivation behind the tariffs,” the application of which has sent the stock market into free fall. “Here’s where President Trump and I do agree,” the 53-year-old said. “We do need to make more stuff in America. More cars and chips. More steel and ships. We do need...

Megyn Kelly is urging Americans to have patience with President Trump as backlash over his far-reaching “reciprocal” tariffs continues to grow. “He’s asking everybody to be a little patient. I think given the guy’s success in the first term, economically, we should give it to him,” Kelly told the Daily Mail. “He’s earned the right to our patience, and I’m prepared to provide it,” the host of SiriusXM’s “The Megyn Kelly Show” declared. Trump’s sweeping tariffs on nearly all imports went into effect over the weekend, and even steeper levies began Wednesday, hitting US allies and adversaries alike, with China...

The current head of the IRS made an eyebrow-raising decision after the agency made a bold move to bolster President Trump’s deportation efforts. As The Gateway Pundit reported, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) have reached a deal to aid in the deportation efforts of illegal aliens. The agreement will allow U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to access taxpayer information to locate illegals subject to deportation. Moreover, the IRS can hand over information about invaders already facing deportation orders and under federal criminal investigation. The deal also states that ICE can now submit names...

The Chinese have no intention of giving in to President Trump and are vowing to “fight to the end”. So that means that an economic war between the number one economy on the entire planet and the number two economy on the entire planet is officially on. Yesterday, I warned my readers that imports from China were about to be hit with a 104 percent tariff, but because this number had not been reported by the mainstream media yet a lot of people didn’t believe me. Of course this morning major news outlets all over the globe were using that...

Business tycoon Elon Musk floated the idea that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., is somehow profiting off of government fraud, though the lawmaker has pushed back. "Chuck, I’m starting to think you’re getting a piece of the action with the government fraud. But no, that couldn’t possibly be the reason, could it?" Musk posted early Tuesday morning. Musk, who has been spearheading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) effort to expose waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government, made the comment in response to a Monday post in which Schumer accused DOGE of "sabotaging" Social Security, Medicare and...

Attorney Ty Clevenger has filed a motion in federal court to hold the FBI in contempt for what he calls a “deliberate and willful defiance” of a court order mandating the release of key information related to murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich. The filing, made on behalf of Texas plaintiff Brian Huddleston, alleges the FBI has systematically concealed records from Rich’s personal and work laptops, obstructing transparency and ignoring clear directives from the court. “This afternoon we asked the U.S. District Court in Sherman, Texas to hold the FBI in contempt of court for systematically violating the court’s orders to...

VIDEOWhich is more amusing? To hear CNN's Davos Boy Richard Quest snootily exclaim "ARRANT NONSENSE!" or hear him snobbishly declare "YOU HAVE NOW TRANSGRESSED!"? The "ARRANT NONSENSE!" came as a result of Quest listening to Natalie Winters on Piers Morgan listing the many transgressions of the Chinese Communist Party trade policies. As you can see, Poor Richard was angrily simmering to a boiling point until he finally burst out with his "ARRANT NONSENSE!"The other Richard Quest amusing outburst came at Davos in January 2024 when the only outlet reporting real news from the site of the World Economic Forum, Rebel...

Last September, Ryan Wesley Routh waited hours to take a shot at Donald Trump. The man, who reportedly conned his way through Ukraine, stayed with a GoPro and a scoped AK-style rifle for 12 hours at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. This attempt on Trump’s life came weeks after the shooting at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where the president dodged a fatal headshot by millimeters. Routh waited in the shrubbery for Trump, and the president got within 300 yards until he was discovered by a Secret Service agent who opened fire, causing Routh to flee....
