Happy Sunday Red Staters 🇺🇸,

Everything’s going right—and the Left is losing their minds.

It was a winning week in America. The stock market’s climbing, crypto’s mooning, gold’s glistening, and inflation’s finally acting like it got the memo. Meanwhile, oil prices dipped after Trump hinted we’re “getting close” on a new Iran nuclear deal—because, you know, it turns out having an actual negotiator in charge helps.

But wait, there’s more:

Tariff deals? Done. With both the UK and China.
Prescription drug prices? Sliced like a Biden approval rating.
And the kicker? Funds once funneled to illegal immigrants are now going to veterans. Imagine that—prioritizing citizens. The horror!

Naturally, the Left is still mad. Because no matter how many wins stack up for America, if Trump’s fingerprints are on it, they’d rather light their hair on fire.

Also this week:

  • Trump’s Middle East visit delivered massive investment deals for U.S. industries.

  • Conservative women showed up strong on the world stage and made it clear: you can be smart, stylish, and still believe in the Constitution.

  • Meanwhile, a major U.S. airport lost all air traffic control comms for 90 seconds—which is only terrifying if you're not a fan of “airborne roulette.”

On the lighter (and slightly boozier) side:

  • The world’s most iconic champagne brand is in crisis after hiking prices and axing jobs. (Pop bottles... if you can still afford them.)

  • A British man found out the “copy” of the Magna Carta he bought for £20 is actually real—and worth $16 million. God save the ROI.

  • And finally, beer prices at the PGA Championship might be high enough to force golf fans to do the unthinkable: watch it sober.

Buckle up, patriots. The markets are rising, America’s back in the driver's seat, and the media’s having a collective meltdown.

Trump’s set to receive a $400M luxury jet—and the media’s losing its mind.
But be honest: if you were offered the jet, would you really turn it down?

The Rundown This Week:

Trump Seals China Trade Deal—Markets Erupt, Libs Clutch Pearls

Wall Street just hit the “Buy” button like it’s Black Friday after Trump inked a new trade deal with China. The S&P 500 is rebounding faster than CNN spins a good Trump week. America’s tariffs are dropping from 145% to 30%, while China’s backing down from 125% to 10%—all thanks to actual negotiation, not diplomatic finger-painting. The Left calls it reckless. The market calls it genius. We call it winning.

Inflation Cools, Media Panics—Trump Tariffs Somehow Work

In a twist that stunned Wall Street and ruined MSNBC’s morning, inflation actually dropped after Trump’s tariff blitz. April’s consumer price index rose just 2.3%—below economists' predictions and the lowest since 2021. Translation: groceries finally stopped acting like luxury items. While the media was busy forecasting economic collapse, Trump quietly reminded America how leverage works.

Trump Takes a Blowtorch to Big Pharma—Prescription Prices Get Slimmer

Trump did what every career politician promised but never delivered: he actually lowered drug prices. With one executive order, America now pays what the cheapest countries pay for prescriptions—including the wildly popular “fat shots” Big Pharma’s been milking for profit. Trump called out the donor-class puppets and said “no thanks” to Big Pharma’s cash—because apparently doing the right thing still matters. Somewhere, a Pfizer lobbyist is crying into their expense account martini.

MBS Rolls Out the Royal Carpet—Trump Goes Full Alpha Abroad

President Trump landed in Saudi Arabia and got the kind of welcome that makes globalists nervous and the left jealous. Crown Prince MBS greeted him with military pageantry, a purple carpet, and enough ceremonial flair to make the UN look like amateur hour. But this wasn’t just a photo op—Trump’s chasing a $1 trillion investment deal to bring jobs and energy back to America. While the media obsesses over tie color, Trump’s out here closing deals in royal fashion.

Microsoft Posts Record Profits… Then Fires 6,000 People Because “Efficiency”

Nothing says “Thanks for your hard work” like a pink slip wrapped in corporate buzzwords. Microsoft just announced it's cutting 6,480 jobs—despite raking in massive profits and watching its stock moon. The reason? “Dynamic marketplace,” aka shareholder vibes > human livelihoods. AI's replacing your job, the C-suite’s cashing in, and tech workers are learning the hard way what “disruption” really means.

What Else You Might’ve Missed:

Skip the Degree, Keep the Paycheck—$100K Jobs Don’t Need a Diploma

Turns out you don’t need a gender studies degree to make six figures. As college costs skyrocket and white-collar jobs shrink faster than CNN’s ratings, skilled trades are booming. Plumbers, electricians, and HVAC techs are raking it in—no student debt required. The kicker? The oversupply of college grads created the demand for hands-on jobs. America’s finally realizing: maybe the real “higher education” is knowing how to fix something that isn’t your thesis.

State Farm Hikes Rates in California—Because Apparently Wildfires Weren’t Enough

State Farm just pulled a fast one on Californians, winning approval to jack up home insurance rates by as much as 38%—because nothing says "we're here to help" like kicking people while they're down. Thanks to a judge and Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara (yes, that Ricardo Lara), homeowners, renters, and landlords are all getting walloped. In the state where housing already costs more than a private jet, State Farm just made it official: prepare to pay more for the privilege of owning anything.

TD Bank Shutters 38 Branches—Because Laundering Fines Are Expensive, Apparently

TD Bank—America’s seventh-largest—is closing 38 branches across 10 states after getting slapped with hefty penalties over money-laundering failures. The same institutions that asked for bailouts are now pulling the plug on local access, with closures hitting everywhere from New Jersey to Florida. Translation: You’ll still get hit with overdraft fees—you’ll just have to drive 40 miles to complain in person.

Noah’s Ark? New Discovery Has Scientists—and Sunday School Teachers—Buzzing

A team of American researchers just dropped a holy bombshell near Mount Ararat in Turkey, claiming they’ve found angular structures and a hidden void at the site long rumored to be Noah’s Ark. The Durupinar Formation might not look like much to the naked eye—but to Bible-believers and curious scientists, it could be the proof that the flood wasn’t just a metaphor. Meanwhile, the mainstream media is trying really hard not to cover it. Wonder why?

MAHA Taps New Top Doc—Plans to Ban Covid Shots, Junk Food, and Medical Nonsense

The Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement just went full throttle with the appointment of Dr. Aseem Malhotra as Chief Medical Advisor. A former UK government insider turned health rebel, Malhotra’s plan? Cut the sugar, ditch the statins, and ban Covid shots. He’s teaming up with RFK Jr. and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya to take on Big Pharma, Big Food, and Big Lies—all in one go. The Left calls it dangerous. We call it overdue.

Bud Over Bud Light? Cannabis Drinks Start Taking Over the Bar Scene

Move over happy hour—weed water is coming for your whiskey. According to Bar Rescue’s Jon Taffer, cannabis-infused drinks are shaking up the booze biz, big time. With the weed market projected to hit $45B, more Americans are ditching alcohol for a chilled THC buzz. It’s too soon to call it a full-on takeover, but let’s just say beer companies aren’t exactly celebrating this joint venture.

3 Events That Could Impact Your Wallet Next Week: 🗓️

National Missing Children’s Day
Date: May 25th
Established by Congress in 1983, National Missing Children’s Day reminds us of something the media rarely covers—protecting America’s kids. It’s a day to focus on the real issues: bringing missing children home and supporting the families still searching. No hashtags. No virtue-signaling. Just action, awareness, and doing what’s right.

Senate Homeland Security & Armed Services Budget Hearings
Date: May 20th
Senators discuss the FY 2026 budget for Homeland Security and Defense. Translation? Time to find out if we’re prioritizing border security and national defense—or funding more bureaucratic bloat. Defense investors and markets will be watching closely, because every dollar cut (or wasted) sends shockwaves through contractors, stocks, and the real economy.

Finance Council Conference 2025 (America’s Credit Unions)
Date: May 18th - 21st
Running through May 21, this is the Super Bowl for credit-union CFOs—minus the halftime show and woke commercials. They’ll be diving into balance sheets, risk, capital markets, and how to survive without needing a federal bailout. Credit unions may not make headlines, but they’re the ones actually fueling Main Street—while big banks keep playing footsie with the Fed.

Closing Thoughts:

🤖 Is AI Good or Bad for Humanity?

The Case For, The Case Against… and Why It Might Not Matter Anymore

AI isn’t coming—it’s already here. And while Big Tech wants you to believe it’s your new best friend, a growing number of Americans are starting to wonder: is AI helping humanity… or replacing it?

We’ll break it down straight. No fluff. No Silicon Valley spin.

THE CASE FOR AI: WHY TECH OPTIMISTS ARE CELEBRATING

1. Productivity Goes Through the Roof

AI doesn’t sleep, strike, or take smoke breaks. It writes reports, analyzes data, builds models, and makes decisions—faster than any intern ever could.

2. Lower Costs for Businesses (and You)

Self-driving cars mean fewer crashes, cheaper insurance, and no more late-night surge pricing from an Uber driver who can’t find your apartment.
Customer service? Automated and instant.
Medical diagnostics? Quicker, more accurate, and scalable.

3. Breakthroughs in Healthcare and Science

AI is helping doctors detect cancer early, design drugs faster, and personalize treatments. It’s accelerating scientific discovery in ways that humans alone simply can’t match.

4. Accessible Tools for All

A kid in rural Kansas now has the same writing and coding tools as a Stanford grad. AI levels the playing field—at least in theory.

5. Safer Roads, Smarter Cities

Autonomous vehicles could eliminate DUIs, reduce accidents, and unclog traffic. And smart infrastructure could make power grids more efficient and cities more livable.

THE CASE AGAINST AI: WHY AMERICANS ARE SOUNDING THE ALARM

1. Massive Job Losses—Permanently

AI doesn’t just replace workers—it replaces entire industries:

  • Truck drivers

  • Taxi/Uber drivers

  • Customer service

  • Writers, marketers, editors

  • Paralegals, accountants, coders

  • Even doctors and lawyers, piece by piece

Millions will be unemployed—not temporarily, but permanently. And not everyone can “just learn AI.”

2. Collapse of Skill, Education & Purpose

Kids no longer need to study. Just prompt the AI.
No need to write, problem-solve, or think critically.
We’re raising a generation fluent in shortcuts, not skills.

3. Dependence on Tech Elites

AI is controlled by a handful of companies—Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, Meta—who are unelected, unaccountable, and often ideologically biased.
What happens when they decide what’s allowed, what’s not, and who gets access?

4. Surveillance & Social Control

AI doesn’t just “help”—it watches. From facial recognition to predictive policing to smart cities that track your every move, the infrastructure is already being built.
Add in a Central Bank Digital Currency, and you’ve got a surveillance state in your pocket.

5. Loss of Humanity

Work isn’t just about money. It’s about meaning.
If AI does all the thinking, writing, building, and deciding—what’s left for us?
A cashless, jobless society where people have no role but to consume and obey?

🧠 CONCLUSION: IS AI GOOD OR BAD?

Here’s the hard truth:
It doesn’t matter what we think.
AI isn’t waiting for our permission.

It’s already rewriting the job market. Already driving cars. Already teaching our kids. Already analyzing our speech and deciding what gets posted, shared, or banned.

We can either take control now—define the rules, set the guardrails, and prioritize humanity—or we can keep sleepwalking into a future built by the few, at the cost of the many.

Because this isn’t science fiction anymore.
It’s not a debate for 2050.
It’s already happening.

The machines aren’t coming for us.
They’re already here.
