President Donald Trump said Wednesday a federal probe into Jerome Powell will continue and that he will fire the Federal Reserve chairman if he refuses step down. Powell said in March he will not leave his position at the Federal Reserve until an investigation into the renovation of the agency’s headquarters. Bartiromo asked Trump during an interview that aired Wednesday about Powell declaring he had “no intention” to leave the Federal Reserve after his chairmanship expires.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday threatened to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell if he stays in the role after his successor is confirmed. Trump told Fox Business that if Powell doesn’t agree to leave, “Then, I’ll have to fire him.” Trump added that he wanted to fire Powell, but he hates “to be controversial.” Trump nominated former Kevin Warsh to succeed Powell when Powell’s term as chair expires on May 15.
A handful of Democrat-dominated states rank at the bottom of economic prosperity and competitiveness as they continue to push progressive policies onto taxpayers.

(Dave DeCamp, Antiwar.com) US Southern Command announced on Monday that its forces bombed an alleged drug-running boat in the waters of Latin America, and said that the attack killed at least two people. On Tuesday, SOUTHCOM announced an attack on another boat that it said killed four people. SOUTHCOM said both boats were in the Eastern Pacific Ocean when they were hit, and it offered no evidence to back up its claim that either vessel was carrying drugs, something that the Pentagon hasn’t done for any of the boats it has blown up since the bombing campaign started in September…
Before you all start virtue-signaling and gaslighting me, let me say right off the bat that what Jarren Duran dealt with a few years ago was a serious thing. I get it. It still is. For those who don’t know, the Boston outfielder revealed on last year’s Netflix documentary chronicling the 2024 Red Sox that he once attempted to take his life amid on-field woes in ‘21 and ’22. It was a poignant moment of the series, and certainly a talker. Duran was vulnerable in a very public way, and we should appreciate and respect that. An athlete let us in, which…

Secretary Robert F. Kennedy’s skepticism about the blanket acceptance of vaccines as safe and effective is gaining traction. Results from the March poll of 3,851 U.S. adults conducted by Public First, show that a plurality of Americans question the safety of vaccines, support reducing the number administered, and believe that people’s right to decide what they put in their bodies is more important than preventing the spread of disease. Nearly half of U.S. adults surveyed last month said they think the science on vaccines remains up for debate and that it’s damaging to require people to receive them, rather than…

President Trump appeared for an extensive interview with Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business. The interview is essentially broken down into two interrelated contexts, the Iran conflict and the overall economic issues. There are two segments, in this post we focus on the first segment. Here President Trump is discussing the overall economy and there is an unusual dynamic in the background. As the Iran conflict unsettles the oil/gas markets and the overall global energy sector, there are two facets to the USA impact. On one hand, say the Main Street side, President Trump understands the price of gasoline is being…

A Democrat-proposed bill in California could see independent journalists face criminal charges for exposing fraud in the state, a Republican lawmaker is warning. Republican California state Assemblyman Carl DeMaio blasted the legislation, Assembly Bill 2624 (AB2624), as “The Stop Nick Shirley Act” at a committee hearing this week. The bill, introduced by Democratic California state Assemblywoman Mia Bonta, would shield so-called “immigration service providers” from scrutiny and offer protections such as those given abortion providers in the state. In a statement on the legislation, DeMaio dubbed it the “Stop Nick Shirley Act”, framing it as a Democrat effort to prevent…

As a result of the Iran conflict and U.S. actions in Panama and Venezuela, American control over global oil supplies has expanded significantly, while the power of Iran, Russia, and China has declined. The ongoing U.S.-Iran war has closed the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow waterway through which approximately 20% of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas normally transits daily, triggering the largest energy supply disruption in the history of global oil markets. The closure has paralyzed China’s Belt and Road shipping infrastructure, eliminated Iran’s primary source of government revenue, and forced the world’s buyers to seek reliable alternative…

Since the United States was founded nearly 250 years ago, Americans have felt a strong connection to the land. Almost all of the Founding Fathers were farmers, including George Washington, James Madison, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson, who once said: “The small landholders are the most precious part of a state.” “A man who cultivated his own soil was immune to moral corruption, Jefferson said, unlike the deplorable merchants who ‘have no country’ and therefore no real attachment to their nation,” author Andrea Wulf wrote in Founding Gardeners: The Revolutionary Generation, Nature and the Shaping of the American Nation.

Churchill, like Trump, believed in “peace through strength.” No one likes war, no one wants war, but sometimes fighting a war in the short term saves lives and money (tons of it) in the long run. By playing nice, weak, cowardly, and accommodating to Hitler, Chamberlain’s weakness led to World War 2.…
