In Partnership With:

Trump and Putin just sat down in Alaska to do what the globalist class never could: talk peace. The Ukraine–Russia war has dragged on long enough, and while the pundits and warmongers foam at the mouth, Trump is the one actually working the board. It’s America first, world stability second — exactly how leadership should look.

And for all the “Republicans can’t get things done” critics — this week was a reality check.

The AI boom isn’t just coming for blue-collar jobs — it’s crushing white-collar fantasies, too. One freshly minted computer science grad thought they were heading straight to a six-figure Silicon Valley gig. Instead? An interview at Chipotle. Maybe the guac comes with equity.

Over in Boston, the once-beloved “Cheers” bar — once the place “where everybody knows your name” — now looks like the set of a zombie flick. Liberal leadership let the city rot into an open-air drug den. Meanwhile, in D.C., after Trump put the local police under his command Monday, residents who cried “overreach” suddenly had to admit… yeah, crime doesn’t just fix itself.

On the global front, Trump continues running the table. He extended the tariff deadline with China after describing his relationship with Xi as “very good.” He’s weighing whether to move marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III, a shift that would flip federal drug law. And CNN’s own anchor — forced to acknowledge reality — accidentally crowned him with a new nickname: “Batman.” The MAGA movement embraced it instantly.

In business, a few relics are finally fading out. AOL’s dial-up dies September 30, Kodak admitted it may not survive, and Spirit Airlines — fresh from bankruptcy — already looks like it’s on life support. Even AriZona Iced Tea’s iconic 99¢ price tag might not survive the year.

But while weak leadership kills off old America, strong leadership builds the future. A “big, beautiful bill” for school choice just passed, putting a $1,700 per-student tax credit in the hands of parents starting 2027. And U.S. manufacturing is roaring — GE Appliances is investing $3 billion in modernization, and Philips is throwing $150 million into American factories and R&D.

Bottom line: when Trump leads, America wins. Peace talks, safer streets, stronger factories, empowered parents — this is what real leadership looks like.

America Decides:
Trump’s call to send the National Guard into D.C. has Americans split — some say it’s the only way to clean up the chaos, others think we might as well just hand out participation trophies to the criminals.

D.C. used to be the pride of America. Now it’s potholes, politics, and “Don’t walk there after dark” warnings. Trump says the National Guard could fix it. The media calls it authoritarian cosplay.

So… what do YOU think?

When MSNBC starts agreeing with Trump, you know reality’s broken through the narrative. On Morning Joe, legal analyst Anthony Coley — who actually lives in DC — admitted residents are fed up, especially with juvenile crime. He painted the everyday misery: even buying deodorant at CVS means unlocking it from behind plexiglass. Half the city calls crime a “serious” or “extremely serious” problem, according to polls. Funny thing is, Coley still wrote an op-ed calling Trump’s National Guard move “unnecessary.” Guess even liberals can’t fully admit when the president’s right.

Retirement just got a Trump-sized upgrade. A new executive order kicks off the process to let Americans load their 401(k)s with alternative investments — think private equity, real estate, digital assets, and infrastructure. The Labor Department, Treasury, and SEC are now on the clock to make it happen. Translation: Trump’s cracking open the Wall Street playbook so Main Street can finally play offense.

Trump loves tariffs. Trump loves gold. But when forced to pick, he went full Midas. On Monday, the president announced gold bars are off the tariff hook, sending his supporters into a digital standing ovation and calming jittery bullion markets. This came after Customs and Border Protection briefly tried to slap a 39% tariff on Swiss gold bars, proving once again that when bureaucrats mess with the golden rule, Trump’s still the guy who knows the value of a solid hedge.

If Trump’s protecting gold, you should be too. Which leads us conveniently right into....

Our Honest Thoughts:

Groceries Are Up. And Gold? Still Climbing.

If your weekly grocery bill makes you wonder if you accidentally bought stock in the store, you’re not imagining things—prices are soaring. But while your pantry staples keep costing more, there’s another thing marching steadily upward: gold.

And here’s the thing—when the world starts looking like it’s one bad headline away from completely losing its marbles, having real assets in your portfolio isn’t optional anymore. It’s essential.

That’s why we partnered with GoldenCrest Metals. They’re not the “pushy gold sales guy” you cross the street to avoid. They actually care about giving you the right advice—even if that means telling you gold isn’t the move for you right now.

If you’re curious where gold fits in your strategy, they’ll walk you through it. No traps. No pressure. No “sign here before you leave.”

Turns out the “Biden boom” was more like a Biden balloon — inflated, full of hot air, and bound to pop. Economist Steve Moore dropped a truth bomb straight from the Oval Office, revealing the Bureau of Labor Statistics “overestimated” job growth by 1.5 million during Biden’s final two years. Trump was right to fire the Biden-appointed BLS chief for cooking the books — and if this is how they did math in the White House, no wonder the economy felt like a bad group project.

While Wall Street’s been sprinting away from UnitedHealth, Warren Buffett’s been quietly backing up the truck. Berkshire Hathaway grabbed 5 million shares over the past two quarters, betting that a 46% stock slide since January is just another buying opportunity. UnitedHealth was over $504 a share in January — now it’s barely above $271. Classic Buffett move: scoop up the wounded, ride them back to glory, and make the panickers look like amateurs.

Hunter Biden’s latest bright idea? Repeating a sleazy, debunked Epstein rumor about Melania Trump. Now the First Lady’s lawyer is coming for him with a $1 billion lawsuit and a demand to retract his “false, defamatory, and inflammatory” claims. The smear traces back to gossip-peddler Michael Wolff, but Hunter still thought it was worth parroting. Bad move — Melania doesn’t bluff.

In a twist no one saw coming, hyperwoke San Francisco is telling public school teachers to keep their politics out of the classroom. As kids head back Monday, educators have been warned: no political opinions, no activist décor, no virtue-signaling wardrobe. Apparently, the city that once encouraged ideological show-and-tell now wants a little neutrality… at least until the next election cycle.

While Democrats cry “compassion,” Trump’s been cleaning house at the Social Security Administration. The president says nearly 275,000 illegal migrants and millions of dead Americans have been yanked from the rolls — yes, we were sending checks to people who’d either left the country or left the planet. He marked the SSA’s 90th anniversary by reminding America that, under his watch, taxpayer dollars stop going to ghosts and gate-crashers.

Chipmaker Lattice just set a new Oregon record — and not the good kind. They’re paying new CEO Ford Tamer a jaw-dropping $94 million, or roughly 1,300 times what the average employee makes. The payout is a one-time, “performance-based” stock grant to lure him from an investment firm — but it comes less than a year after the company’s stock tanked 15% in a single day, vaporizing $1.6 billion in value. Apparently, failure pays… just not for the people doing the actual work.

A new mom saved up reward points to visit her deployed husband in Japan — and American Airlines rewarded her with a $3,674.11 “oops” charge for a duplicate ticket in her own name. They promised a quick refund… then ghosted her for weeks.

Over two months later, an AA rep flat-out told her there’d be no refund at all. So she took the fight to TikTok. The video went viral, racking up 1.5 million views, and suddenly strangers were flooding AA’s own videos with refund demands.

Then — miracle of miracles — the airline called. She’d get her money back and 7,500 bonus miles. Funny how their “hands were tied” until bad PR untied them in record time.

Forget haunted houses — rural America’s getting haunted by trillion-dollar tech beasts the size of Manhattan. Meta, Amazon, Tesla — they’re buying up land and dropping $3 billion windowless AI fortresses that suck up enough water and electricity to power entire towns. They promise “innovation,” but families living in their shadows see the truth: Big Tech’s carving out ghost cities where the only thing growing is the server bill.

We’ve said it before — the political class doesn’t win with ideas, they win with manipulation. When they can’t sell you their agenda honestly, they dress it up, twist the framing, and shove it down your throat like it’s gospel truth.

The game is simple: create a “version” of the facts that fits the narrative, repeat it until it feels real, and hope nobody’s smart enough to call them out.

In the video below, Jeffery Mead dismantles one of these dirty political tactics with surgical precision — using nothing but intelligence, clarity, and cold, hard facts. In ten minutes, he does what most of the mainstream media refuses to do in an entire year: expose the trick for what it is.

It’s sharp. It’s fearless. And it’s exactly the kind of truth politicians hope you’ll miss — because the second you see how the trick works, it stops working.

Because if we stop backing the people who use facts to fight fiction, the only voices left will be the ones paid to sell the lie.
