Sunday July 20th

Let’s not dance around it: Jeffrey Epstein’s shadow still looms large, and the stench of cover-up isn’t going anywhere. This week, Trump stopped tossing jabs and started swinging for the fences—demanding full transparency: grand jury testimony, sealed documents, the whole rotten archive. He’s even floated the idea of a special prosecutor—which, funny enough, Democrats suddenly find problematic when the target isn’t wearing a red hat.

But talk is cheap. And the American people are done waiting.

If Trump wants to prove he’s the only one with the guts to take on the swamp, it’s time to play his hand.
His credibility is on the line—and we’re holding him to the bet.

While the Swamp resists transparency, Trump’s also been busy with a far sweeter negotiation—bringing real sugar back to American Coke. That’s right: if he pulls this off, your next sip might actually taste like freedom instead of chemical sludge. Mexican Coke for all—without the border run.

In lunar lunacy, Buzz Aldrin is back in the spotlight, thanks to some viral clips that have keyboard warriors screaming, “We never went to the moon!” Apparently, Buzz dropped a few truth bombs years ago that are now being passed around like conspiracy candy. Did NASA fake the Apollo 11 landing, or is Buzz just bad at interviews? You tell us.

Back on Earth—and in the pages of The Wall Street Journal, no less—Trump’s trade policy is “winning,” according to the same mainstream economists who used to call him a lunatic. Now they're choking down crow while trying to remember how tariffs work. Maybe “Tariff Man” deserves an apology?

Meanwhile, California’s $4B pipe dream of a bullet train to nowhere just got derailed. The Trump administration cut off the federal gravy train, calling out the bloated, broken boondoggle. Remember when voters approved that disaster back in 2008? It was supposed to be up and running… this decade. Whoops.

Speaking of taxpayer-funded disasters: some liberal cities are now bribing meth addicts with cash and gift cards to stay sober. Yes, you read that right—gift cards for good behavior. Trump’s team will put an end to that program, but don’t worry, there’s probably a GoFundMe.

On the opposite side of "good decisions," a Massachusetts man just won $2M off a single Powerball drawing. Two tickets. Two wins. Zero plans. Let’s hope he doesn’t blow it on gift cards for drug addicts.

And finally, a grocery chain CEO just warned that if NYC elects another progressive, the city could end up like Havana under Castro. Bread lines, blackouts, and no deodorant. But hey, at least the rats are unionizing.

It was quite the week for crypto in America.
Trump signed the GENIUS Act into law, stablecoins are getting the green light, and the feds might finally stop pretending Bitcoin is just a passing fad.

Some folks are already riding the blockchain wave. Others think it’s a Ponzi scheme for tech bros and basement libertarians. And then there’s the crowd sitting on the sidelines wondering how the hell to even buy the stuff.

So let’s settle it—where do YOU stand on crypto?
Be honest. We won’t tell Jerome Powell.

Turns out even billionaire boardroom critics can read the writing on the wall. Ken Langone, Home Depot co-founder and once vocal Trump skeptic, just went full MAGA on live TV. After previously calling Trump’s tariffs “bulls***,” the 89-year-old tycoon is now “sold on Trump” and says 45 could go down as “one of our best presidents ever.” Chalk up another elite realizing that mean tweets don’t matter when the economy actually works.

Christopher Waller, one of Trump’s top picks to replace Jerome Powell, just backed the kind of rate cut that’ll make Bidenomics look even worse. Waller says the Fed should drop interest rates to 3%, ideally at their July meeting. Sounds a lot like Trump’s playbook—cut rates, juice growth, and let the media scream. If Waller gets the chair, don’t be surprised if the Fed starts acting like it actually wants America to win.

In a potential game-changer for retirement savers, Trump is weighing an executive order to open up 401(k) accounts to private-market investments—a move that could unlock major gains and shift how Americans build wealth. The plan, still under wraps, would direct the Labor Department and SEC to collaborate on guidance for allowing private equity into the $12.5 trillion retirement pool. The left will scream “risky,” but for anyone tired of riding the Wall Street rollercoaster, this could be a massive opportunity to finally get off the rails and into real growth.

While the media mocked Trump’s tariffs as reckless, the numbers tell a different story: $113 billion in tariff revenue this fiscal year, with $27 billion in June alone—a 301% increase over last year. Turns out those “weekly duties” on global giants aren’t just tough talk—they’re bringing in record cash. So next time someone says Trump’s trade policy was a disaster, ask them how $100 billion in revenue sounds.

The Buy Now, Pay Later craze might feel like free money—but starting this fall, it could wreck your credit score. Experts are sounding the alarm as BNPL data begins hitting credit reports, warning of a “careless” debt spiral that could become a full-blown credit catastrophe by 2025. So go ahead, finance that $19 smoothie—but don’t be shocked when your score tanks and lenders treat you like you defaulted on a yacht.

According to FOP Vice President Joe Gamaldi, there’s a mass exodus of police officers fleeing Democrat-run cities—and it’s not hard to see why. Between hostile leadership, low pay, and zero backup from the top, many are heading to red states where law and order still means something. As Gamaldi put it: “Why would anyone stay?” Great question—especially when the only thing rising faster than crime is the number of cops calling U-Haul.

While blue states drown in taxes and population loss, Texas and Florida are booming—literally. A new report shows 8 of the 10 fastest-growing metros are in the South, with Austin taking the top spot and Florida claiming five of the top ten. Shocker: low taxes, personal freedom, and leaders who don’t hate success seem to attract people. Who knew?

Big retailers like Walmart and Target are crying tariff pain—but don’t be fooled. A new poll shows 52% of voters agree with Trump: corporations should eat the cost, not pass it to you. Instead, these retail giants are using tariffs as an excuse to pad profits while pretending it’s out of their hands. It’s not inflation—it’s manipulation in aisle five.

Trump just scored a $9 billion win, gutting taxpayer-funded nonsense like NPR, PBS, and foreign aid for gender studies operas. The Senate narrowly passed the bill despite a couple of usual GOP defectors (looking at you, Murkowski and Collins). The package—part of a wave of “rescission” bills—includes 21 targeted cuts, many flagged by watchdog group DOGE. Bottom line? Trump’s draining the budget swamp, one woke program at a time.

While Silicon Valley’s AI obsession drains the grid, power companies are planning to drain your wallet. They’re pushing a 142% rate hike to cover the surge in energy-hungry data centers—and they’ve already asked regulators to bless $29 billion in increases this year alone. Translation? You’ll be paying more so Big Tech can keep training robots to replace you.

A new report from Highland Cabinetry (yes, even the cabinet guys have had enough) reveals what everyone already knows: blue cities are overpriced dumps. Sky-high housing costs, crumbling infrastructure, and a general lack of livability have turned America’s liberal urban centers into money pits with bad views. Turns out, voting blue costs more than just your sanity.

Let’s call it what it is—a growing number of Americans believe the U.S. justice system has two sets of rules: one for the powerful, well-connected elite… and one for everyone else.

You don’t need a law degree to feel it.

When Trump calls for the release of all Epstein grand jury files, including sealed testimony, it isn’t just political theater—it’s a direct challenge to a system that’s stonewalled the public at every turn. You’d think both parties would want to expose the names on those flight logs, right?

But nope.
Crickets.
Meanwhile, your uncle posts a spicy meme and ends up on an FBI watchlist.

To be fair (because we try), critics of the two-tier narrative say:

Maybe. But you’ll have to forgive the 70+ million Americans who don’t buy that.
Not after what they’ve seen. Not after years of selective leaks, double standards, and watching people in power walk away from things that would land the average American in prison.

We’re not here to tell you what to believe—we’re here to ask the questions the media won’t.

Do you believe there’s a two-tier justice system in America today?
Or is it just partisan smoke and mirrors?
