Tariffs, Toys, and the American Dream on the Line
I was sitting on my couch, coffee in hand, watching CBS Sunday Morning—that soft, thoughtful show that reminds us the world isn’t all bad—when this story hit me square in the gut. Beth Benike. Veteran. Mom. Small business owner. Fighter. And now, thanks to a 145%...
Arrested for Landscaping While Brown
Last week in Palm City, Florida, the Florida Highway Patrol and ICE staged a show of force at a gated community like they were raiding a drug lord’s mansion. Their targets? Landscaping trucks. Their crime? Apparently, looking too brown in the wrong ZIP code. One of...
Oil Patch Puts Profits Over Pumps (Again)
You can always tell when the oil boys start feeling queasy—they park the rigs, talk about "discipline," and suddenly forget all that tough talk about energy independence. This week, they did just that. Baker Hughes’ latest rig count shows U.S. oil and gas rigs dropped...

The Houthis-U.S. war, and the Ceasefire Spin

Killing Big Bird to Own the Libs—Again
