Families are chaining buy-now, pay-later schemes together to afford groceries, while the cost of utilities skyrockets, thanks in large part to the AI data center boom. Belt tightening is also playing out in the healthcare industry. In a recently published survey by healthcare polling firm KFF, a whopping 36 percent of respondents said they’ve skipped or postponed a visit to the doctor for financial reasons…

Michigan SOS Jocelyn Benson and Michigan AG Dana Nessel – two slippery Democrats. Jocelyn Benson was caught in a major scandal in Michigan in December. As you may know, the current Secretary of State is running for governor to replace failed Democrat and buddy, Gretchen Whitmer. Benson has a performance record that would make most normal individuals blush in shame. But not Jocelyn. The Democrat Secretary of State has lost at least nine election-related lawsuits as she works to make elections less secure in the Wolverine state. She is that bad. Recently, information has resurfaced that Benson dropped NGO fraud…
War Room co-host Natalie Winters talked about China using AI to build models of US voters. She explained that it involved them looking at things like why they vote a certain way, understanding President Trump’s base, and even how they view China. Winters explained that the AI models include mock US elections to determine potential outcomes. “Walk me through your CCP story in this regards ma’am,” Steve Bannon asked. “I think the AI issue really is the convergence right, of the decade. The CCP has spent deploying assets compromising people, setting up these information networks. You are seeing all those…
For 22 seconds in June, WNBA star Sophie Cunningham pointed on court without saying a word.The Indiana Fever guard leveled her index finger at Phoenix Mercury forward DeWanna Bonner and held it there after Bonner and Fever teammate Caitlin Clark tangled up following a whistle at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, on June 22.Bonner told her not to point. Cunningham kept pointing. The clip ran less than half a minute; within days, it was the biggest meme of the WNBA season.That sudden fame is what turned Cunningham into a lightning rod.Months earlier, in a February ESPN interview, she had said she wanted to…
On Friday’s Morning Joe, MS NOW co-host Willie Geist cued up Governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY) to accuse President Donald Trump of breaking his promise on which illegal aliens would be deported. MS NOW has long been pushing the narrative that Trump promised to only deport the “worst of the worst” in spite of the President clearly stating that anyone caught in the country illegally is on the table. During an interview with Governor Hochul, Geist brought up the recent increase in ICE arrests as if it were a bad thing:He then claimed that the Trump administration is “not going after the…
Tucker Carlson calls for President Donald Trump to be removed from office “immediately” if he is considering the first use of nuclear weapons. (Credit: The Tucker Carlson Show) Former Fox News host and one-time Trump booster Tucker Carlson declared Friday that President Donald Trump should be removed from office “immediately” over nuclear policy in the Iran conflict. Carlson made the explosive declaration Friday during a lengthy interview with Joe Kent, the former director of the National Counterterrorism Center, who resigned from the Trump administration in protest of the war with Iran. The episode was ominously titled, “LEAKED: Pentagon Nuclear Plans…
The Trump administration has proposed a rule to eliminate employment authorization for H-4 visa holders, who are the spouses of H-1B skilled workers. The report comes from Bloomberg Law News. The planned rule by the Department of Homeland Security seeks to reverse a 2015 rule that allowed qualifying H-4 dependent spouses to work in the United States. The measure is part of a long-term regulatory agenda (RIN: 1615-AD14). It does not immediately cancel existing H-4 work permits or change current rules while it goes through the formal regulatory and public comment process. This follows the administration’s proposal to charge employers…
Image Ecuadorean President Daniel Noboa/X ICE overrode judge’s decision blocking José Serrano’s removal. Ex-Ecuadorian minister José Serrano, accused of aiding a cartel murder presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio in 2023, has been deported by ICE. Ecuadorian conservative Presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio was assassinated at a campaign rally in August 2023. Fernando Villavicencio was reportedly shot in the head three times. Supporters of the popular conservative, Fernando Villavicencio, managed to capture a suspect after the assassination. A grenade was also found at the scene.

Abdul el-Sayed during a recent interview on Fox News. Far-left Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed has apologized for remarks he made following an antisemitic attack on a Detroit-area synagogue. El-Sayed acknowledged that his attempt to provide “broader context” in the immediate aftermath was a mistake. He addressed the controversy Saturday while speaking before the Michigan Democratic Jewish Caucus, whose members had expressed concerns about his candidacy and links to Islamism. In March, Ayman Mohamad Ghazali drove a truck into Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township, injuring a security guard in what authorities described as a targeted attack against Jews.…

The digital tokens are being used for human trafficking, extortion, and for-hire harassment. The extent of some of these crimes is astonishing.

Iceland has rejected a renewed push toward membership of the European Union, with voters on course to vote against reopening accession negotiations with Brussels in a bitter blow for globalist elites. With results declared in five of the country’s six constituencies on Sunday morning, the “No” campaign held an unassailable lead of around 52.5 percent. The result represents a significant setback for Iceland’s left-wing government, which called the referendum in an effort to revive accession talks abandoned more than a decade ago. The question put to Icelanders was straightforward: “Should Iceland resume accession negotiations with the European Union?” The referendum…
—– Writes Moon of Alabama: There have been few reliable data of human losses in the war of Ukraine. The estimates vary widely. The official number, especially on the Ukrainian side, are formed by propaganda. In February of this year the (acting) President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelinski said that 55,000 Ukrainian soldiers had been killed since February 2022: The last time Zelensky gave an update on Ukraine’s casualties was in December 2024, when he put deaths at 43,000. In his interview with French television, he said: “In Ukraine, officially the number of soldiers killed on the battlefield – either professionals or those conscripted – is…
America lost an icon this week with the passing of singer and songwriter Dolly Parton. She was the buxom blonde everyone loved. Her schtick of big hair and a big chest was matched by enormous talent, placing her in the top tier of the world’s wealthiest entertainers. The value of her estate is estimated to be in the vicinity of $450 million to $650 million, and that is remarkable considering she was born into poverty. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say Dolly lived the quintessential American Dream.Country music gave Parton a start, but it was only a launching pad…

The New Civil Liberties Alliance recently filed a lawsuit on behalf of two families in Nebraska who claim the state abridges their free-speech rights in the K–12 education system. The issue is that Nebraska limits government funding only to children enrolled in public schools where students are fed messaging that the plaintiffs claim conflicts with their values. The state also threatens criminal penalties for parents who don’t educate school-aged children, meaning parents who can’t afford private school must put their kids in public school, even when the messaging contradicts their beliefs. In other words, education is speech, and forcing their…

Country music megastar Jelly Roll had a message for fans who are angry after he took shots at President Donald Trump while guest-hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live!: stop listening to his music. Jelly Roll’s comments against Trump were made during the opening monologue of the program. The joke centered around the president hosting the IndyCar race. “Let’s talk about the main event of America this weekend. It was the big IndyCar race hosted by the president,” Jelly Roll went on to say in reference to the Freedom 250 Grand Prix. “The cars drove through the streets of D.C., and there’s Donald Trump…
Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed got into verbal fisticuffs with popular Fox News host Jesse Watters during his primetime program over the topic of immigration enforcement, the war effort in Iran, and several hot-button cultural issues. It all started when Watters pressed El-Sayed on his support for abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement. El-Sayed responded to Watters by pointing to the Immigration and Naturalization Service, which handled all federal immigration cases before the creation of ICE in 2003. “We were able to enforce our immigration policies without shooting people in the face and the back of the head,” El-Sayed told…
In April 2026, Carnival Cruise Line was forced to hand out a whopping 24 lifetime bans, including one for a 9-year-old passenger, who went on a rampage in an arcade and started a fight with another child. The others were handed their ban after a huge brawl took place at a cruise terminal located in Galveston, Texas. Passengers had just disembarked from a 7-day Western Caribbean cruise on the Carnival Jubilee when the incident occurred. The massive fight was captured on video and then posted on social media where it immediately went viral. One passenger said the fight actually started…
CNN’s lone voice of reason, conservative pundit Scott Jennings, not only won an argument against an entire panel of raging left-wing cohosts, but got Abby Phillip to admit on live television that he was right, as the entire group of individuals attempted to pretend that former President Joe Biden’s inflation disaster never actually happened. During the show, a verbal firestorm kicked off when Keith Boykin, a former Clinton White House aide who now works as a commentator for CNN, attempted to blame all of America’s current economic misery on President Donald Trump. Boykin listed off a bunch of grievances, but…
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent tore into Senator Elizabeth Warren after the Massachusetts Democrat warned that American taxpayers could be left holding the bag if Japan failed to “repay” the Treasury following its intervention in the Japanese yen. Bessent responded that Treasury never loaned Japan any money and that no debt exists to be repaid. He offered Warren and her staff a tutorial on “Foreign Exchange for Dummies.” The dispute began after Warren, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee, sent Bessent an August 13th letter demanding answers about Treasury’s July 31st intervention in the currency market.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth fired back at NBC News after the network claimed that he was privately considering a campaign for president in 2028. Hegseth flatly rejected the report and accused NBC of relying on anonymous sources despite receiving a denial before publication. “100% false,” he wrote. He added that his only job was restoring the War Department under President Donald Trump. The dispute erupted Friday, August 28th, after NBC published a report claiming Hegseth and his wife, Jennifer, had discussed a possible presidential campaign with friends and associates. The network attributed the claim to two unnamed people described…

Outspoken anti-Trump actor Alan Ritchson, most well-known for his hit Amazon Prime series Reacher, is learning the hard way that alienating half your viewing audience by slamming them for holding to a different worldview than your own is bad for business. Ritchson’s latest big screen entry, Motor City, completely bombed at the box office, despite strong pre-release buzz. The film, which is super light on dialogue, fits comfortably in the “revenge thriller” genre. Motor City spent a significant amount of time on the festival circuit before finally getting a nationwide theatrical release. Despite some pretty positive word-of-mouth, the movie failed to generate much momentum.…

Heartlanders had a laugh this week at the woefully uneducated city folks who have no idea where their food comes from. It was evident in several different social media threads and café chit-chat, which crossed the line of Midwest Nice into mocking territory.

News Analysis The U.S.–Canada trade talks broke down on Aug. 21. Although both sides hold completely different views, they agreed on two common dealbreakers: bilateral coordination on Canada’s future trade deals with third countries and how deep tariff-rate cuts should go across sectors like autos, steel, and aluminum.A third, exempting U.S. companies from having to feature French-language content on streaming platforms, was resolved on Aug. 27 when the United States dropped the demand.Analysts say both sides share one other thing: the China factor, which neither names but looms over both positions.Neither the Canadian Prime Minister Carney nor U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson…

The media is blasting MAGAs for canceling Jelly Roll after he spent days hosting Jimmy Kimmel, getting laughs by calling President Trump fat. He said he was too fat to see his penis. He is pro-open borders now. On the last day, after people fled, he cried because the MAGAS felt betrayed. The moral of the story is that it’s a bad idea to betray people. Don’t bite the hand that feeds you. He saw bigger fish he wanted to fry and lost the people who actually liked his music, which was based on those values he appeared to abandon.…
