The question should be: why is anybody putting any stock in this CPI report at all? The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) basically made the data up. We knew that the data was suspect, given that the BLS didn’t collect data for October due to the government shutdown. Reading through the BLS notes, we get some idea of how the agency parsed the data. It doesn’t exactly increase confidence in the report’s veracity. In the CPI report summary, the BLS offers a quick overview of how it handled the mass of missing October data. “BLS did not collect survey data for October…

(Dave DeCamp, Antiwar.com) The US bombing campaign against alleged drug-running boats in the waters of Latin America has killed more than 100 people, according to the numbers released by the Trump administration and the US military. The latest strikes were announced by the US Southern Command on December 18 and targeted boats in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. According to SOUTHCOM, the strikes killed five “narco-terrorists,” a term the administration uses to justify executing people at sea without a trial for a suspected crime that doesn’t receive the death penalty in the US.

Tough week for NASCAR. Tough week, frankly, for everyone. A lot of folks are still numb today. I don’t blame them. To steal a phrase from Mike Helton, we’ve lost Greg Biffle. Not only that, but his wife, and their two kids. Another plane crash. Another aviation disaster for NASCAR. We still don’t have a ton of answers today – four days after Biffle’s private jet crash-landed in North Carolina – and I’m not sure we’re gonna get them any time soon. Who was flying the plane? What happened that made wife Cristina text her mom, “We’re in trouble,” right after takeoff? Was…
Hundreds of millions of people all over the western world are enjoying the holiday season as if nothing has changed. Meanwhile, the pounding of the war drums just continues to intensify. If the world keeps going down this path, next year’s holiday season could look completely different. Unfortunately, most people seem to assume that everything will magically work out just fine somehow. That greatly frustrates me, because ignoring the reality of the crisis that we are facing is not going to fix anything. If ordinary citizens in the western world truly understood what was at stake, they would be going…

Rather than celebrating a midnight church service marking the birth of the Lord on Christmas Eve, Christians in Burkina Faso will gather for worship in the afternoon. Holding services before nightfall allows worshippers to return safely to their homes before dark, when they face the risk of being killed by Islamic extremists. On October 6, 2025, three Christian students traveling back from Mali for the start of the school year were pulled off a bus and shot…
For the fourth year in a row, the number of abortion clinics in America continues to decline. In 2021, just before the fall of Roe, Operation Rescue’s annual survey revealed the highest number of abortion clinics in five years, counting 718 across 50 states. At the close of 2025, that number is 657 across just 37 states, an 8.5% decrease in just four years. Operation Rescue President Troy Newman comments, “That 8.5% may seem a small number; however, our opponents know it represents the strong and steady progress of the pro-life movement. Inch by inch, we are winning solid ground for…

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) On Sunday’s edition of Meet the Press, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell was moved to a minimum-security prison camp in July due to the death threats she had been receiving at the low-security prison where she was previously incarcerated.Blanche’s explanation came in response to questions about the timing of Maxwell’s move. She was transferred from a low-security prison in Tallahassee, Florida to a minimum-security prison camp in Bryan, Texas, in July, after she provided an interview to the Justice Department about her accomplice, Jeffrey Epstein. Because she said in that interview…
President Gustavo Petro caused an unexpected international stir by claiming that the United States should “return” Texas, a territory ceded by Mexico after the 1846–1848 war. In his speech, Petro linked the idea of returning the land with the symbolic recovery of oil resources, suggesting that Mexico could “take back” what it considers historically exploited without compensation. These statements, made during an official event in Caracas, immediately sparked reactions in diplomatic circles and conservative media, which warn that reviving historical disputes lacks legal basis and constitutes a domestic political strategy. Texas, with over 29 million inhabitants and a Gross Domestic…

President Trump announced Monday that he has appointed Louisiana GOP Gov.

Congratulations Jeff!,” Trump said in a Truth Social post. In the early months of his presidency, Trump, like other U.S. presidents before him, made a bid to buy Greenland from Denmark. Greenland, the world’s largest island that is not a continent, is located in the Arctic and is considered a strategic position…

An expectation-setting weekend included the vice president’s AmericaFest speech as he laid out what was acceptable in the conservative movement and what would go to the “dustbin of history.” “… you don’t have to apologize for being white anymore.” Sunday in Phoenix, Arizona, Turning Point USA’s AmFest 2025 came to a close with quite the exclamation point to honor the legacy of the late Charlie Kirk. Delivering a keynote speech that had many looking ahead to 2028, Vice President J.D. Vance reinforced meritocracy and trampled on leftist discrimination as he affirmed what it means to be “very much on our…
In a surprising turn of events, the annual inflation rate plummeted to 2.7% last month, catching many economists off guard. While some experts urge caution, suggesting that this trend may not be sustained, there is growing optimism that we could see the inflation rate align with the Federal Reserve’s target of 2% by year-end. The initial 2.7% figure was primarily attributed to declining food and energy prices. However, when we strip out these volatile components, the annualized inflation rate decreased to 2.6% last month. This indicates that the drop in inflation is not merely a result of falling energy and…
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said that he won’t be on board with a 2028 White House run by Vice President JD Vance, once again whining about the Trump administration’s tariffs on abusive foreign nations. The Kentucky Republican found a sympathetic ear in journalist Jon Karl on Sunday’s edition of ABC’s “This Week,” where he discussed the just-released Epstein files, the second U.S. seizure of a Venezuelan oil tanker, and Vance, who is President Donald J. Trump’s heir apparent and the potential future leader of the MAGA movement. Near the end of the segment, Karl brought up two prominent conservatives who…
ER Editor: As the PressTV report indicates, there has been a bit of recent history on this doctor, as per the tweets below. The Israel Lobby had her doxxed and smeared after appearing at at least one pro-Gaza protest, and a couple of social media tweets seem to be behind her recent arrest. Along the way she’s lost her job — They have suspended NHS consultant paediatrician and clinical lead, Dr. Ellen Kriesels (@EllenKriesels). In just one week, the UK ‘israel’ lobby and British jewish supremacists doxxed her, smeared her in the papers, and succeeded in getting her suspended. Why?…

ER Editor: Ukraine is suspected in this morning’s car bomb attack on Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov in Moscow. As per Al Jazeera, ‘Ukraine claimed responsibility for a similar attack in December 2024. Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, the chief of the military’s nuclear, biological and chemical protection forces, was killed by a bomb hidden on an electric scooter outside his apartment building.’ Kirillov was the one who presented evidence of deep state biolabs to the world (see one of our featured images of him below). It’s a stretch to imagine how these top military people drive hokey, unprotected vehicles parked in…
Roger Stone said newly declassified documents released by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard have confirmed that the Russian collusion narrative was a coordinated political deception aimed at removing a legitimately elected president, and he argued that the matter now requires accountability rather than retaliation. Stone made the remarks while discussing the documents made public by Gabbard, which he said laid bare what he described as the most significant abuse of government power in modern American political history. “The future not the past, but there is one matter we have to clean up,” Stone said. “It has now been 156…

Nicki Minaj delivered a forceful message warning against placing political power in the hands of individuals who mock, silence, or seek to restrict Christian worship, arguing that such attitudes mirror broader patterns of persecution seen globally. In remarks addressing faith, power, and intolerance, Minaj said she was disturbed by what she described as growing comfort among some leaders in criticizing or suppressing Christians in the United States. “Truly feel that there are people out there who felt good about chastising Christians right here in our country, and it’s kind of really, sick,” Minaj said. “We can’t let people like that…
To say that I am happy with President Trump’s approach toward the use of White House emissaries to conduct official business around the capture mechanisms of the administrative state would be an understatement. I’m positively thrilled to watch this untraditional approach in action. Are there approaches, strategies and general things I would prefer to see differently; sure, there are. However, I’m just an audience member without any need to keep gravity maintained while figuring out ways to satisfy billionaire donors, key interests and strategic partners. On this balancing act, President Trump is doing awesome work. President Trump is ducking and…
Guess what! Inflation, growth, jobs: Conventional wisdom from America’s economic punditry was across-the-board wrong. Again. At the year’s start, the punditry predicted that Trump’s tariffs would cause a surge of inflation and would likely trigger a recession. Well, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released Consumer Price Index (CPI) numbers on Thursday. Reuters’ polling of private economists predicted inflation would accelerate to 3.1% year-over-year, the fastest pace since 2023. The actual BLS figure came in at 2.7%, with core inflation even lower at 2.6%. But the news gets better. Year-over-year inflation means it includes inflationary pressures from the end of…
The Trump administration took a major whack at the Climate Industrial Complex this week. It’s a fantastic move. But another event this week spotlights the need to do more. White House Office of Management and Budget Chief Russ Vought announced this week that the Trump administration would “be breaking up the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colorado.” Vought added, “This facility is one of the largest sources of climate alarmism in the country. A comprehensive review is underway, and any vital activities such as weather research will be moved to another entity or location.” The announcement put…
Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard is challenging what she calls a “false narrative” being pushed by “Deep State warmongers and their propaganda media” trying to sabotage President Trump’s Ukraine peace talks. In comments made Saturday during her appearance at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest in Phoenix, Arizona, Gabbard took direct aim at those who she says are seeking to undermine the Trump administration’s efforts to help end the bloody war between Russia and Ukraine. Gabbard warned that both the European Union (EU) and NATO are using war propaganda to attempt to pull the U.S. military into a direct conflict…
Speaking during a public speech event in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, on the night of Friday, December 19, President Donald Trump sounded off on the Obamacare disaster that has been foisted on America by the Democrats. The speech came alongside the president’s speech in which he revealed his plans to push down the costs of healthcare in America. During his speech in Rocky Mount, the president delivered a rousing tirade against the impacts of Obamacare on the American people and the medical industry, saying that it was essentially a giveaway to the insurance companies to pad their bottom lines. He…
In a jaw-dropping press release put out on Friday, December 19, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that it had managed to arrest a radical leftist who had been plotting a terror attack against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, fortunately stopping him before the attack could occur. For reference, the radical individual caught and charged is associated with a group called the Turtle Island Liberation Front (TILF), a far-left, pro-Palestine, anti-government, and anti-capitalist group. “Turtle Island” is the term that American Indians supposedly used to describe North America before the arrival of the settlers. In any case, beginning the…
A series of tax documents have revealed that Rewiring America, a climate group that Democratic activist Stacey Abrams served as senior counsel for, banked over $5 million in federal climate funding just before President Donald Trump slashed the grant, which came into existence during former President Joe Biden’s administration, earlier in the year. The documentation indicates that Abrams played a much bigger part in getting the grant than she previously claimed. The $5 million was the first portion of what ultimately ended up being a $2 billion grant awarded by the Environmental Protection Agency in April 2024 to a group…
On December 17, 2025, former Special Counsel Jack Smith appeared on Capitol Hill to deliver testimony during a closed-door hearing before the House Judiciary Committee as Republicans continue to dig deep into what they and many other conservatives believe were politically motivated prosecutions of President Donald Trump. As he arrived for the deposition, Smith was greeted by members of the press, but he refused to answer any questions. Fox News reporter Bill Melugin made an attempt to question him outside the Capitol Building. “Do you have any regrets about the way your prosecutions with the president were handled? What do…
President Trump has had the Kennedy Center renamed the Trump-Kennedy Center, and the left is going absolutely ballistic over it. Such is what happened as CNN panelists Cari Champion and Brianna Lyman threw down during a broadcast on Saturday, December 20. Lyman, a conservative, took the stance that leftists were perfectly fine with name changes during the aftermath of 2020, and so shouldn’t care about this. For reference, the name change came after the board of the Kennedy Center, of which President Trump is the chair, voted unanimously to change the name somewhat. Now, the name on the building reads, “The…
In an epic and clever press release that was promulgated on Friday, December 19, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) revealed the latest round of arrests it has made in its efforts to crack down on illegal immigration, framing this round of arrests as being a Christmas gift to Americans who want to see their country freed from the burden of illegal alien-committed crime. As background, ICE, along with DHS generally, has moved to focusing on and highlighting more of its efforts to target illegal aliens with criminal backgrounds that include more crimes than crossing the border illegally, as that…

Batya Ungar-Sargon said President Donald Trump’s first year of his second term reflects a governing philosophy centered on restoring dignity to working-class Americans, arguing that his economic, immigration, and trade policies have deliberately shifted power away from global economic interests and back toward American workers. Ungar-Sargon made the remarks while discussing a national address delivered by President Trump earlier this week, in which he outlined what he described as major accomplishments over the past year. “The President gave a speech to the nation on Wednesday. He talked about all of his accomplishments this year, of closing the border, bringing down…
Elon Musk sharply criticized government-funded nongovernmental organizations during a recent exchange with Joe Rogan, describing the system as a loophole that allows activities he says would otherwise be illegal if carried out directly by the government. The discussion focused on how nonprofits receive public funds and how those funds are then used, with Musk arguing that the structure enables abuse on a massive scale. “There was a case where we saw one person was getting $1.9 billion sent to their NGO, which basically got formed about a year ago and had no prior, really, no prior activity,” Musk said. Trump’s…
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is raising concerns about the widespread use of non-human primates in American research laboratories, citing both the scale of the practice and what he describes as a need for more humane and scientifically effective alternatives. In remarks addressing the issue, Kennedy said there are currently tens of thousands of primates held in research facilities across the United States, with thousands more brought into the country each year for experimentation. “Yeah, there are 100,000 monkeys, primates, non human, primates, that are in primate labs around the country for research purposes,” Kennedy said. “There’s another 20,000 that are…
A recent exchange between conservative media figures Benny Johnson and Greg Gutfeld highlighted what Gutfeld described as one of President Donald Trump’s most memorable comedic moments, focusing on Trump’s timing and instinctive response during a high-profile public appearance. During the conversation, Johnson asked Gutfeld to identify his single favorite example of Trump’s humor, noting Trump’s long history of unscripted remarks that have resonated with audiences both on and off the stage. “What is your single favorite Donald Trump last question, single favorite Donald Trump comedic moment, either behind the scenes, maybe you witnessed or something that was on stage, but…
A recent viral article in Compact Magazine has reignited debate over race, representation, and hiring practices in elite American professions, with journalist Batya Ungar-Sargon arguing that the sharp decline of young white men in white-collar and creative fields was not accidental but the result of deliberate policy choices. The discussion centers on an article by Compact Magazine writer Jacob Savage, which compiled demographic data showing a steep drop in the share of white men entering or holding positions in professions traditionally considered white-collar or creative. According to the figures cited, white men made up a shrinking percentage of medical students,…
Comedian Dave Chappelle weighed in on a recent cultural comparison involving conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, forcefully rejecting claims that Kirk represents a modern-day equivalent of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. Ames, Iowa, United States, January 28, 2020: Dave Chappelle talks to reporters during the 2020 presidential election to about Chapelle‘s endorsement of Andrew Yang for President. In remarks addressing the comparison, Chappelle said he was struck by how quickly some were willing to equate the two figures, despite what he described as fundamentally different roles, methods, and impacts. “And the whites were quick to say this.
