Apparently, 79% of you think there’s a blatant cover-up when it comes to Joe Biden’s health—and judging by the media’s latest “cheap fakes” panic over a few viral videos, we’re inclined to agree. When the White House’s defense boils down to “the camera angle made him look confused,” you know we’re past the point of parody.

Meanwhile, in the courts: Trump’s authority to impose global tariffs just hit a legal wall, as a federal court said, “not so fast” to executive power on trade. Speaking of exits, Elon Musk’s departure from the Trump admin advisory board now reads a bit differently—especially since it helped kickstart $160 billion in spending cuts. So yes, leaving quietly sometimes pays off loudly.

On the military front, a “right-to-repair” push could finally let soldiers fix their own gear instead of waiting 200 days and 17 layers of Pentagon red tape. Imagine that—empowering our troops instead of bloating defense contracts.

And in news that somehow still gets people riled up: a DoorDash driver demanded extra tip money because it was raining. Welcome to America 2025—where it’s not “thank you for your service,” it’s “I need hazard pay for delivering Chipotle.”

Finally, some rare good news: the Supreme Court ruled 8-0 to rein in the EPA and curb judicial overreach in environmental cases. For once, common sense beat climate theater.

Let’s get into it.

Poll Time: Should We Finally Pull the Plug on the Fed?
They printed trillions, tanked your savings, and called it “stability.” Cute.
Now Americans are asking: Do we really need a central bank that plays God with our economy?

The Rundown This Week:

Rollback? Try Ripoff: Walmart’s “Everyday Low Prices” Just Went Full Wall Street

Turns out the “rollback” at Walmart might actually be your bank account. A wave of whistleblowing employees are blowing up Reddit with photos showing price hikes that would make the Fed blush. We’re talking 40%+ increases on basic items like dolls and detergent—because apparently nothing says inflation like My Real Baby jumping from $34.97 to $49.97.

According to staffers, price tags are being swapped faster than Hunter Biden’s court appearances. While corporate keeps quiet, Americans are left asking: if Walmart’s getting this bad, what hope is there for the rest of us? Welcome to 2025, where even the “cheap” stores are starting to feel like Whole Foods.

Buy Now, Regret Later: The Debt Trap Hiding Behind That Shiny New Toaster

America’s latest addiction isn’t Ozempic—it’s Buy Now, Pay Later. And while splitting up payments sounds harmless enough, financial pros are now sounding the alarm: what starts as $19.99 today could be a full-blown credit disaster by next month.

According to analyst Richard Barrington, these sneaky little loans come loaded with fine print, fees, and auto-pay “surprises” that can torch your bank account faster than the IRS finds a small business audit. His advice? Budget like an adult, read the terms like a lawyer, and maybe—just maybe—pay for the air fryer before taking out a microloan.

Marine Stops Mid-Air Madness: Hero Sergeant Takes Down Maniac Trying to Open Emergency Door on U.S.-Bound Flight

While most passengers were relaxing, Marine Sergeant Major Jody Armentrout was preventing a disaster. On a flight from Tokyo to Houston, he spotted a manic passenger eyeing the emergency exit. When the man lunged for the door, Armentrout slammed him to the ground—stopping what could’ve been a mid-air massacre. No grandstanding, just a hero doing what heroes do. The media may ignore it—but we won’t.

From Federal Prison to Freedom: Trump Pardons the Chrisleys—Because Even Tax Fraud Deserves a Season Finale

In true reality-TV-meets-reality fashion, President Trump just dropped a surprise episode no one saw coming: a full pardon for Todd and Julie Chrisley, stars of Chrisley Knows Best—and apparently also How to Defraud a Bank Out of $30 Million.

After a lobbying campaign led by daughter Savannah (with a likely assist from cable reruns and MAGA loyalty), Trump picked up the phone and made the call—literally. Julie’s been serving time in Kentucky, Todd in Florida, and now both are headed back to the land of spray tans and southern sass.

Critics call it controversial. We call it peak America: Reality TV, second chances, and a former president playing executive producer on real life.

CVS Closes Another 270 Stores—Good Luck Finding a Pharmacy That Isn't Now a Vape Shop

America’s largest pharmacy chain is downsizing again—because apparently 900 closures in three years wasn’t enough drama for CVS. This year alone, 270 more stores are getting axed, hitting states like Alabama, New York, Maryland, and Missouri the hardest.

The company says it’s part of a “realignment strategy.” Translation: they’re cutting costs faster than your doctor can refill your prescription. Retail pharmacy is getting steamrolled by online competition, corporate bloat, and a healthcare system that’s more broken than a Walgreens self-checkout.

Hope you weren’t planning on grabbing meds, paper towels, and a flu shot in the same place anymore.

What Else You Might’ve Missed:

FBI “Closing In” on Jan 6 Pipe Bomb Suspects—Only Took 4 Years and a Reminder from Dan Bongino

In breaking news from the Department of “What Took So Long?”, the FBI now says it's finally zeroing in on suspectsbehind the pipe bombs planted in D.C. the night before January 6th. That’s right—four years later, and we’re just now getting “close.”

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino told FOX & Friends that progress is being made and that this case is now a “top priority.” Bold of them to prioritize it in 2025, but hey—better late than never?

Between this and Epstein’s security footage “glitches,” Americans are starting to wonder if the feds lose everything they weren’t looking for in the first place.

Trump Targets $9 Billion in DOGE Cuts—PBS, Foreign Aid, and Woke Bureaucracy on the Chopping Block

President Trump is sending a $9.4 billion “rescissions package” to Congress next week, and let’s just say Big Bird might want to start a side hustle. The plan, backed by Elon Musk’s budget-hacking DOGE office, includes $1.1 billion in cuts to public broadcasting and $8.3 billion to slash foreign aid through USAID.

It’s a simple question: Should your tax dollars fund overseas nonsense and NPR think pieces about “toxic masculinity”? Trump’s betting the answer is a patriotic hell no.

Washington calls it extreme. We call it overdue.

Corporate Profits Just Got Body-Slammed—But Sure, the Economy’s “Strong”

According to the BEA, U.S. corporate profits dropped a cool $118 billion in Q1—after surging over $200 billion the quarter before. That’s not a dip. That’s a faceplant.

The reason? Rising costs, tariffs, and good old-fashioned government “help” are eating into margins fast. But don’t worry—someone the White House is probably still writing a tweet about how great things are going.

Welcome to 2025, where profits fall, costs rise, and we’re still being told it’s all totally normal.

Turkey Just Did What the FAA Won’t—Fine the People Who Stand Up the Minute the Plane Lands

Turkey just did what the FAA won’t—they’re fining passengers who stand up before the seatbelt sign turns off. After a flood of complaints about people lunging for the overhead bins while the plane’s still taxiing, regulators finally said: sit down or pay $70. And honestly? THIS IS SOMETHING WE MUST DO IN AMERICA. If you’re one of those aisle sprinters treating landing like a NASCAR pit stop—consider this your warning.

GameStop Buys $500M in Bitcoin—Because Apparently Meme Stocks Weren’t Volatile Enough

GameStop just went full crypto cowboy—dropping over $500 million on 4,710 bitcoin in its first-ever crypto play. Yep, the same company that brought you meme-stock mayhem is now calling bitcoin a “treasury reserve asset.” Because gold is too stable, and cash is just government monopoly money.

After tweaking its investment policy back in March, GameStop decided to go all in on digital gold—because what could go wrong when a struggling video game retailer ties its future to the world’s most chaotic asset?

Call it bold. Call it reckless. Either way, it’s very on brand.

RFK Jr. Pulls the Plug on Moderna’s $800M Bird Flu Boondoggle—Finally, Someone Read the Fine Print

Score one for common sense: The Trump administration (yes, with RFK Jr. at the health policy wheel) just canceled an $800 million taxpayer-funded experiment cooked up by Moderna to fight… bird flu.

Turns out the project—originally handed out by the Biden crew—didn’t meet “scientific standards or safety expectations,” which is bureaucrat-speak for “this thing was a flaming pile of pharma lobbying and wishful thinking.”

Moderna’s not thrilled, but taxpayers might be. Finally, someone in D.C. remembered that science should come before sales quotas—and that Americans aren’t test subjects in Big Pharma’s next clinical trial.

3 Events That Impact America Next Week: 🗓️

Closing Thoughts:

Trump’s Tariff Chaos: Madman on the Loose, or Economic Genius in Action?

Say what you want—but President Donald J. Trump isn’t here to make polite suggestions. He’s here to rewrite the rules. With his tariff-first trade strategy, the president once again reminded the global elite, the media, and the markets that America comes first—or it doesn’t come at all.

So, what’s actually happening?

President Trump is proposing ‘hikes’ on tariffs for all imports, with steeper, targeted tariffs on countries like China and Mexico that have long profited from lopsided trade deals and supply chain dominance. This isn’t about punishing consumers—it’s about rebuilding U.S. manufacturing, bringing jobs home, and reclaiming economic sovereignty. His message? If you want to sell in America, you’ll pay a price for decades of economic abuse.

The end goal is straightforward: Protect American workers. Boost domestic industry. Break our reliance on foreign adversaries. And most importantly—use the leverage of the world’s largest economy to get better deals, on our terms.

Why It Could Fail

Let’s not sugarcoat it—tariffs are not without risk. Critics, mostly from the usual crowd of globalists and Wall Street economists, argue that this could mean higher consumer prices, retaliation from foreign governments, and pressure on American exporters. If history is any guide, poorly structured tariffs can rattle markets, distort supply chains, and increase costs for businesses that rely on imported components.

There’s also concern that the tariff burden falls on U.S. consumers, not foreign governments. When the cost of goods rises—especially on essential items—middle-class families feel the pinch. And with inflation still hovering around uncomfortable levels, some fear this could add fuel to the fire.

So yes, this could backfire. But that assumes the playing field is still fair. It’s not—and hasn’t been for decades.

Why It Could Succeed

Now here’s the other side. President Trump is not wrong when he says America has been getting fleeced. We’ve spent years exporting our factories, enriching foreign regimes, and creating an economic model where we consume what others produce—and then wonder why wages stagnate and small towns fall apart.

Tariffs are leverage. They force companies to think twice before offshoring. They push adversaries to negotiate. And they incentivize investment in American soil, not just American wallets. The data is already starting to show signs of industrial revitalization. From semiconductor plants in Arizona to steel jobs in Pennsylvania, we’re seeing what happens when the government actually prioritizes domestic production.

More importantly, Trump's trade stance sends a message: America won’t be bullied at the negotiating table anymore. This isn’t 1995. This is America First 2025—and it’s not just a slogan, it’s a policy framework.

Final Word

Look—we get it. Trump’s approach isn’t always easy on the ears. He doesn’t speak like a central banker, and he doesn’t act like a career diplomat. But in a country where globalism has hollowed out the middle class and turned economic policy into a spreadsheet experiment, maybe that’s exactly what we need.

Is President Trump a genius or a madman? Maybe both. But after decades of watching America lose—on trade, on manufacturing, on sovereignty—at least we finally have someone in power who is trying to rescue the sinking ship. And he’s not asking for permission.
