Stellantis just warned of a $2.7B loss—blaming early fallout from U.S. tariffs. Shipments down. Costs up. And this is just the beginning. Tariffs are hurting the very industries they are advertised as helping. cnbc.com/2025/07/21/ste…

Ed Feulner’s success in life came from the goodness of his character. He was genuinely interested in helping other people. This made him a mentor, a connector, and over time a builder that changed the right. He was intellectually curious. He loved ideas. He didn’t mind the…

Goldman Sachs just raised their recession risk. And the current trade policy is a big reason why. Tariffs are eating into real income, slowing growth, and complicating the Fed’s monetary policy decisions. Taxing American families with new tariffs offsets the relief provided in…

GM’s second quarter income is down 35%, and they’re expecting returns to be even less in Q3. There’s no secret as to why. Tariffs hurt American companies, and their suppliers. Ultimately higher costs either reduce profits, or are passed along to customers, thus sending more…

The Trump campaign doesn’t get enough credit for finding and turning out young male podcast listeners who weren’t traditional voters. That demographic has not historically impacted elections, and I was skeptical they would this time around, but the Trump campaign got them…

The Trump team sees deportation coverage as part of the strategy—deterrence through visibility. It reminds voters why he was elected: to bring back border security. Attention to tragic cases like Laken Riley and now the customs officer who was shot help drive that message home.

The only way this ends is if President Trump releases the Epstein files—plain and simple. He ran as the outsider who would clean up government and expose what’s been hidden. His own VP, AG, and FBI Director all said these files needed to come out. He’ll be pressured to release…

The Redskins were a proud organization for generations and minority fans in the DC area remain avid fans of the old franchise. The name was not changed to mollify Native Americans; it was changed to appease liberal white NFL owners

In the passing of Dr. Ed Feulner, the conservative movement has lost one of its true giants, and I have lost a mentor and cherished friend. Ed Feulner was many things: scholar, strategist, counselor to presidents, but above all, he was a great man and an American statesman who…

During the Trump-Pence Administration, we unleashed American energy and for the first time in 70 years, the U.S. became a net energy exporter. The Biden Administration did everything in their power to reverse that policy and limit US production.

78% of Rhode Island manufacturers say they’ve raised—or will raise—prices because of Trump’s tariffs. Big corporations get exemptions—small businesses get crushed. Tariffs are not only bad economics, they feed the swamp. Big companies hire DC lobbyists to get handouts while…

Businesses are sounding the alarm: rising tariff costs are squeezing supply chains, driving up prices, and putting pressure on families. Tariffs are taxes. When businesses get squeezed, consumers pay the price. thehill.com/business/54062…

Trump’s frustration with Powell goes back to his first term, even though Trump is the one who picked him, thinking he’d keep rates low. Now, Trump sees no downside in going after him: either Powell quits, lowers rates under pressure, or his replacement gets the message. Any…

New York’s high prices aren’t the result of free markets—they’re driven by government programs. The solution is certainly not state ownership of grocery stores as Mamdani proposes. AOC wants more people to meet Mamdani—and Republicans agree.

Mamdani meeting with AOC, Ilhan Omar, and Bernie might energize his base—but it’s also a gift to Republicans. Democrats may want to avoid the visual, but it boosts the anti-police, anti-Israel, pro–sex work wing of their party—and keeps Mamdani’s 30% locked in.

Trump built his brand on being the outsider who’d expose the truth. But with the Epstein files, the story keeps changing—from “the files are on my desk” to “there are no files” to “they’re fake, made by Hillary and Comey.” For a base that trusted him to uncover secrets, it’s…

Trump’s had a strong economic run—but the tariff pain is still coming. Retailers stocked up early, automakers built with pre-tariff parts. That buffer is about to vanish. A 10% baseline is already 4x historic levels—and it’s only going up. Higher costs. Lost jobs. Just a matter…

Republicans have spent years warning the country that Democrats are drifting toward socialism—and now Mamdani and AOC are holding hands and walking straight into that frame. Government-run grocery stores? Abolish NYPD? It’s political candy for the GOP.

I think President Trump is frustrated with Putin—he’s spent a long time trying to broker a peace deal in Ukraine and now feels like he’s been played. That’s likely why he’s changing course and taking a tougher stance. Whatever the reason, it’s a shift we should welcome.
