Trump’s Winning Streak → Liberals in Full Panic Mode

At this point, President Trump might want to invest in a trophy case the size of Texas. Because this week, the man didn’t just win—he lapped the field while the Left tried desperately to spin everything good into a five-alarm fire.

Let’s review:

CBS and Paramount—two pillars of liberal media—just agreed to pay Trump a multi-million-dollar settlement… and the kicker? As part of the deal, they’ll now be broadcasting more conservative content to their audiences. That sound you hear? Rachel Maddow’s soul leaving her body.

Over at the southern border, things are quiet. Local business owners in Mexican towns report fewer crossings and unexpected calm. Turns out, when you actually enforce the law, chaos doesn't happen. Who knew?

Mortgage rates just fell for the fifth week in a row, hitting their lowest level since mid-April. So while the media screams about economic doom, regular Americans are locking in better home deals and actually winning.

Trump also signed a new executive order doubling down on his America First agenda—this time with national park entry fees. Foreign nationals will pay more, U.S. citizens pay less. And yes, the Left is offended by discounted hikingnow.

Need more? President Trump just landed a duty-free trade deal with Vietnam, celebrated the passing of his Big Beautiful Bill with a full-blown rally in Iowa, and watched as the ICE-blocking app he publicly denounced shot to #1 on the App Store (because Gen Z still loves a good tantrum).

Meanwhile, Waffle House quietly dropped that ridiculous 50-cent “egg surcharge,” and the UFC? Oh, they just announced their next event from the lawn of the actual White House.

So yeah, it’s been a week.

The Left is spiraling. Trump’s racking up wins. And America? She’s looking a little stronger every day. Let’s dig into what actually matters—without the media spin and meltdown.

Be honest—do you think the media and the Left actually enjoy watching America fail?

Because sometimes it feels like they’re rooting against the country just to prove a point. Every time things go right—lower gas prices, fewer border crossings, Trump chalking up another win—they don’t celebrate, they spin.

So here’s the question we’re throwing to you this week…👇

The Rundown This Week:

The Land of the Free… and the Overworked: Side Hustle Nation, USA

Even in Trump’s booming America, the financial hangover from the last administration is still hitting hard. According to LendingTree, 61% of Americans working side hustles say they literally couldn’t afford life without them. That’s right—even folks in tech and real estate are stacking second (and third) gigs just to make rent and keep the lights on. Thanks to years of reckless spending and inflation-igniting policies, the 9-to-5 doesn’t cut it anymore. But under Trump’s comeback economy, there’s hope on the horizon—just as soon as we finish undoing Biden’s mess.

Trump’s “Big, Beautiful” Tax Cut Just Dropped—And It’s YUGE for Workers

President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act is now law—and for American workers, it’s a straight-up game-changer. We’re talking $4.4 trillion in tax cuts over the next decade, with permanent extensions of the TCJA’s lower tax rates and a beefed-up standard deduction that puts real money back in your wallet. Oh, and there’s more: new deductions for tips and overtime pay mean the folks putting in the extra hours finally get a break. Washington may call it “foregone revenue”—we just call it keeping what you earn.

Elon Threatens to Go Rogue—Says He’ll Launch the ‘America Party’

Elon Musk is back on X, keyboard blazing, threatening to launch his own political party—creatively named the “America Party”—if (when) Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill becomes law. Why? Because trimming taxes and helping working Americans apparently rubs the richest man alive the wrong way. Starting a new party sounds bold… until you remember Ross Perot tried it with fewer bots and more hair. Musk may have rockets, cars, and satellites—but building a political party from scratch? That’s a whole different orbit.

Rise of the Robo-Amazonians: Jeff Bezos Replaces Humans Faster Than You Can Say “Prime”

Amazon just broke the 1-million-robot mark inside its warehouses—and those bots are on pace to outnumber human workers any minute now. Translation: the next time you order paper towels, a steel-arm forklift that never needs a bathroom break will snag it off the shelf. Efficiency? Off the charts. Job security for hourly pickers? Not so much. Meanwhile, the company’s stock loves the cost savings, and Wall Street cheers the march of the machines. For the rest of us, it’s a reminder that the best hedge against getting automated out of existence is staying nimble, stacking skills, and—oh yeah—keeping more of that paycheck, courtesy of Trump’s shiny new tax cuts.

Booms, Burgers, and $3 Gas: July 4th Delivers a Rare Win at the Pump

For once, your road trip playlist won’t be interrupted by panic at the pump. Gas prices just hit their lowest level since 2021, with the national average chilling at $3.15 a gallon. That’s 36 cents cheaper than last year—which means Americans are saving about $500 million this weekend alone. So go ahead, fire up the grill, crank up the Toby Keith, and celebrate freedom and fuel that doesn’t cost more than your fireworks stash.

What Else You Might’ve Missed:

Special Delivery: 20,000 Pink Slips from UPS

UPS just dropped a package no one asked for—20,000 job cuts and a wave of “voluntary” buyouts for full-time U.S. drivers. The shipping giant is shutting down 73 facilities (with 90+ more on the chopping block), all part of a sleek new “network configuration plan.” Translation: fewer jobs, more automation, and a whole lot of PR spin. Sure, they’re tossing in pensions and healthcare on the way out—but let’s be honest, no one’s cheering for a severance box with a bow on it.

Poll Shows Most Democrats Would Rather Hold a Protest Than a Flag

As Americans fire up the grills to celebrate 249 years of kicking tyrants to the curb, a Gallup poll dropped a bombshell: only 36% of Democrats say they’re “extremely” or “very proud” to be American. That means nearly two-thirds of the left can’t even muster up a USA chant on the 4th of July. Meanwhile, the rest of us are over here waving flags, crushing hot dogs, and remembering that freedom isn’t a “vibe”—it’s a gift. Maybe someone should remind them what country let them afford iced lattes and TikTok soapboxes in the first place.

Dems Drop $20M to Study Men—Forget How to Define One First

Democrats, still licking their wounds after getting steamrolled by male voters in 2024, are now dropping $20 million to “study what’s wrong with American men.” Yes, really. Instead of, say, lowering taxes or fixing the border, they’re funding a think tank to psychoanalyze dudes with trucker hats and jobs. Locals near Atlanta weren’t having it—calling the plan “dumb” and pointing out the obvious: maybe start by defining what a man is before you spend millions trying to fix him.

Joey Chestnut Reclaims the Throne—70.5 Hot Dogs, Zero Apologies

Move over Olympic athletes—Joey Chestnut just reminded us what real dominance looks like. After being sidelined last year, the undisputed king of competitive eating returned to the Nathan’s Hot Dog stage and inhaled 70.5 dogs like it was his patriotic duty. That’s 17 wins out of 18—the only blemish being a rogue 2015 loss that we, frankly, do not acknowledge. It’s greasy, it’s glorious, and it’s the most American stat line since George Washington crossed the Delaware.

Unlimited PTO? More Like Unlimited Naps—Tech CEO Cancels the Progressive Free-for-All

Bolt CEO Ryan Breslow just did what most bosses are too scared to admit—he killed off “unlimited PTO” after realizing it was basically a paid vacation for underachievers. While top performers were burning the midnight oil, the office slackers were racking up beach days like frequent flyer miles. Breslow called the policy “totally broken,” and honestly, he’s not wrong. Turns out, when you give unlimited time off in a culture with no spine, the grinders get punished while the loungers thrive. So now it’s back to real schedules and real accountability. Somewhere, a LinkedIn influencer is sobbing into their oat milk latte.

America First, Finally: Ukraine Aid Frozen as U.S. Puts Its Own Interests First

In a plot twist no one saw coming (except literally everyone who voted Trump), the U.S. is hitting pause on key weapons shipments to Ukraine—including Patriot missiles and Hellfires. Why? Because America First isn’t just a slogan—it’s policy again. According to the White House, the decision came after a military aid review that asked a radical question: “Should we maybe take care of our own country first?” Kyiv’s not thrilled, but hard-working Americans footing the bill are breathing a sigh of relief.

3 Events That Impact America Next Week: 🗓️

Tariff Pause Ends—Time to Play Hardball Again
July 9th
America First is about to get teeth again. President Trump’s 90-day tariff pause ends Tuesday, and unless foreign trade partners suddenly decide they like fair deals, expect a slap of tariffs to hit back. That means tough love for China, a wake-up call for Europe, and a potential rollercoaster for Wall Street crybabies who prefer weak negotiations. Winners? American manufacturers and anyone tired of watching D.C. sell out our economy.

Fed Meeting Minutes Drop—Will They Blink or Hold the Line?
July 9th
The Fed releases its latest FOMC minutes, and all eyes are on whether Powell’s crew will keep interest rates steady or start dreaming about rate cuts again. Translation: Wall Street wants cheap money, Main Street wants stable groceries, and Red State Finance wants accountability. Spoiler alert: if the Fed so much as hints at weakness, expect the stock market to throw a tantrum louder than a college kid who just found out free Wi-Fi isn’t a constitutional right.

Prime Day Hits—Retail Madness as Americans Actually Save Money
July 9th-11th
Amazon’s Prime Day kicks off, and it’s expected to bring in over $21 billion in sales. That’s a lot of air fryers and “Made in America” T-shirts. But it’s more than just deals—it’s a thermometer for real consumer confidence. If Americans are spending, it means Trump’s economic policies are fueling optimism. If not, blame the bots and retail giants automating jobs faster than UPS can lay people off.

Closing Thoughts:

THE RED-PILLED LEFT—WHERE ARE THEY?

Every week, we ask tough questions. But here’s one that’s been rattling around our heads lately:

Are there any former liberals or woke warriors who’ve finally opened their eyes, dropped the talking points, and said—“You know what? Trump was right.”

We’d love to know. Seriously.
We’d love to interview them.
We’d love to understand the moment it clicked—when they saw through the media spin, the broken promises, and the ideological circus that’s dragged this country down for the last few years.

Was it the record high gas prices?
The open border?
The endless spending while Americans struggle to pay rent?
Or maybe it was just watching their once-great cities turn into crime-ridden, fentanyl-infested experiments in lawlessness.

Whatever it was—we want to hear from you.
Because if you used to believe in Biden, DEI, or “equity” over merit… and now you realize that America First wasn’t the problem—it was the solution—then welcome to the side that never stopped loving this country.

You were lied to.
We all were.
The difference is, some of us figured it out—and we’re not going back.

The truth isn’t just powerful. It’s patriotic.
And it’s time more Americans started acting like it.
