    Buy Now, Pay Later programs like Klarna, Afterpay, and Affirm promise interest-free payments and instant approval—but behind the scenes, they’re fueling a dangerous new debt trap. In this video, we break down how BNPL really works, why it's exploding in popularity, and how it's psychologically designed to make you spend more than you can afford. From hidden fees to data selling, here’s what they’re not telling you.

    ​​​​​​As expected, President Donald Trump’s rebuke of the climate change hysteria in front of the pious apparatchiks at the United Nations sent the media into a tailspin, with The New York Times leading the pack. Times climate reporters Somini Sengupta and Lisa Friedman snorted at Trump following his September 23 speech at the U.N. for alleging that the so-called “scientific consensus on global warming was created by ‘stupid people’” and having “lashed out at wind turbines, environmentalists and allies around the world while dismissing the dangers of climate change.” Sengupta and Friedman railed that Trump’s remarks were “an extraordinary diatribe...

    We sure have seen a lot of really crazy things happen so far this year. But in the minds of most Americans, there is one crisis that far outweighs everything else. As I have been documenting for years, our standard of living has been collapsing as the cost of living has risen must faster than our incomes have.As a result, 67 percent of U.S. workers are now living paycheck to paycheck. We are in the midst of the worst cost of living crisis in modern history, and Statista has found that Americans consider it to be the biggest challenge that...

    VIDEOHe started out going full "Elbows Up!" against Trump to get elected Prime Minister of Canada. Unfortunately for Canada, Mark Carney has morphed into a hapless Elmer Fudd. Even his hunched over body posture reflects this especially when he is in the presence of President Donald Trump. And the latest news which adds into his image as a pathetic "Elbows DOWN!" Elmer Fudd is the announcement by a Canadian energy infrastructure company that they will be investing $8.5 BILLION to develop energy infrastructure ...in the United States.

    Kroger employee terminated after admitting to writing message, Starbucks calls act 'unacceptable' An Ohio woman ordered Charlie Kirk’s go-to Starbucks drink on Sunday evening — and was startled to find a hateful message written on the cup. Autumn Perkins, who lives in Middletown, Ohio, visited a Starbucks location inside Kroger and run by Kroger to order the mint majesty with two honeys. When she received her order, she was shocked to see that an employee had written "racist’s fav drink" on the side of the cup. "It's time for people to stop this nonsense," Perkins told Fox News Digital. After...

    CNN once again presented itself as a case study of how much pull leftist billionaire George Soros has within the global media when it chose to use its journalists as emissaries protecting his image and his dark vision for the world. The loaded headline for the September 18 article: "How the right blames George Soros for just about everything." CNN took aim at Soros critics following Vice President J.D. Vance’s September 15 guest-host appearance on The Charlie Kirk Show, where he ripped unhinged magazine The Nation for grave-stomping on the TPUSA Founder’s grave after he was assassinated September 10. Vance...

    The level of brain-dead sludge disguised as economic news just plastered on the CNN.com website just to slam the so-called Trump “threat” is enough to subtract ten points from your intelligence quotient. CNN senior reporter Matt Egan — who’s made a name for himself for pushing some of the dumbest economic hot takes circulated by the network — is apparently trying to one-up himself. “The US economy has a new problem: Democracy is under siege,” cried Egan in a September 22 headline. Egan listed off a number of actions by President Donald Trump, to effectively compare him to a third-world...

    New research reveals that climate fairness calculations have long favored wealthy, high-polluting nations by letting them delay urgent action while shifting responsibility onto vulnerable countries. Credit: Shutterstock Scientists have uncovered a hidden bias in climate pledges that rewards big polluters and penalizes vulnerable nations. Past calculations allowed high emitters to dodge responsibility and delay action. The new approach emphasizes historical responsibility, demanding steep cuts from wealthy countries and funding for poorer ones. Climate Goals Under Scrutiny Climate efforts are falling short of the Paris Agreement’s targets. To stay on track, each country is expected to contribute its ‘fair share’ of...

    Gateway Pundit ^ | September 21, 2025 | Cullen Linebarger
    A wicked leftist from California is not taking the reality of consequence culture very well after mocking Charlie Kirk’s assassination. As The Gateway Pundit reported, influencer Megan Farina went on TikTok earlier this week and posted a video poking fun at Kirk’s death by making a sarcastic and evil remark. This is what Farina said about Kirk. Does she sound like someone who deserves any sympathy? “Gather ’round, b****es,” she said, in a vocal fry register that speaks of someone who’s spent too much time with wannabe girlbosses and/or smoking Marlboro Reds. “Join hands and bow our heads in thoughts...

    🇺🇸 Before the Collapse: Why We Must Rein in Unsecured Debt — NowBy The HermitThere’s a quiet crisis unfolding beneath the surface of the U.S. economy: over a trillion dollars in credit card debt, the majority of it unsecured, with no collateral, no real oversight, and no meaningful limits. It’s not just a number — it’s a ticking time bomb.It may not look like 1929 — but in structure, in risk, and in who will bear the fallout, it feels dangerously familiar.📉 We've Seen This Movie BeforeIn the 1920s, Americans were allowed to buy stocks on margin — putting down...

    📘 The Student Loan System: A Rigged GameHow U.S. Higher Education Became a Wealth Transfer from the Poor and Middle Class to the EliteExecutive Summary The American student loan system has evolved into a mechanism of upward wealth transfer, extracting income and opportunity from working- and middle-class students while enriching elite universities, financial institutions, and loan servicers. By removing bankruptcy protections, allowing unchecked tuition increases, and obscuring the risks and returns of educational debt, policymakers and institutions have created a rigged system — one that fails to serve students, the economy, or the public interest. 1. Origins of the Crisis:...

    When Dreams Become Debt: The Moral Failure of Our Student Loan SystemBy The Hermit At 18, you can’t legally rent a car. You can’t buy a drink. In some states, you can’t even rent an apartment without a co-signer. But you can sign your name to $100,000 or more in student loans—debt that you may spend the rest of your life trying to repay, and that can never be erased through bankruptcy. That is not just a legal loophole. It is a moral failure. Each year, thousands of young people graduate high school with dreams of changing the world, fueled...

    Debt Is the New Chains: A Warning for Young People About Modern Financial Traps Imagine being forced to work for years just to pay off a debt. Not because you chose the job, but because you had no other way out. This was the life of an indentured servant—a person who signed a contract to work for several years without pay in exchange for something they needed, like passage to America back in the 1600s or 1700s. It sounded like a fair trade. But the truth was, once you signed that contract, your freedom was gone. You were stuck working...

    After Charlie Kirk’s murder, two Muslim men in Utah were arrested for planting an incendiary device under a FOX affiliate’s news van. The most striking thing about their house, as Front Page Magazine had reported, was that it appeared to be covered in anti-Trump signage. Including a black flag reading, “Is He Dead Yet?” “Is He Dead Yet” merchandise also made a recent appearance when a New York City public school teacher posted a photo of himself wearing that t-shirt and celebrated Charlie Kirk’s death. In a famously sensitive era, where do you go to buy a “Is he dead...

    Politico’s knee-jerk reaction to trust but not verify leftist magazine The Nation’s retort to Vice President J.D. Vance’s connection of the latter to billionaire George Soros is the epitome of what happens when journalists let Trump Derangement rot their brains so much they throw ethics to the wind. During his guest-host appearance for the Charlie Kirk Show September 15, Vance argued that Soros “funds” The Nation, which drew the ire of the magazine’s president Bhaskar Sunkara, who falsely accused him of “lying” in an X post. “[W]e're not funded, not one dime, by Soros or Open Society Foundation,” Sunkara railed....
