Who caused unaffordability? Fear about “affordability” supposedly fueled the new, strident socialism. Yet annual inflation during former President Joe Biden’s four years averaged almost 5%. It peaked at over 9%, while prices for some key staples rose by 30% over his tenure—all to silence from the Left. (By contrast, annual inflation during Trump’s first term averaged 1.9%. In his second term, it averaged 2.6% in 2025—and may rise to 4.5% in 2026, given the war with Iran.) The socialists were not just quiet during Biden’s four years; they were themselves responsible for the rampant Biden inflation. They had implemented an inflationary de facto third Obama term,

Democrats/Socialists running on a platform of affordability is like an arsonist running for Fire Chief. But you will never read that in NYT or see it on CNN. PDT should wrap up the Iran War before Labor Day and focus full time on this issue.

This is a great summation of more recent times but the dems have been heading in this direction for a long time. What direction? The dissolution of the American Constitutional structure and laws. Why? because they couldn't put their agenda into place legally so they knew they had to do it illegally and place people at the gates that would do nothing about it. Thus the liberal SCOTUS that federally approved abortion when they had absolutely no authority to do so. That opened the doors to a LOT of other "solutions" that were structured outside the legal structure and raised a permanent bureaucratic state that existed outside the elected representatives and controlled much of what was done in the country. Trump destroyed the liberal guards that protected all the dem illegalities when he placed stronger conservatives on the SCOTUS. One by one, much of the bureaucratic state's power has been rolled back to Constitutional levels. It would be even better if Roberts wasn't desperately trying to slow the process down by watering down decisions and refusing to take a stand on lower court insanities. The dems carefully built illegal structures have been seriously dismantled and it will be almost impossible to reconstruct them, even if dems get elected. So, what to do? Like radicals throughout history, what you do is tear everything down. You don't try to convince the voters, you overthrow them through violence. The American People are hesitant to respond to violence within the Country. They think we can work it out within the system. However, you cannot reason with criminals, which is what the Socialists now are. There will be islands of Socialism where stupid voters elect to put a gun to their own heads to get promised goodies. The goodies will not appear. We need to isolate and abandon those islands and take legal actions against their officials when necessary. We also need to build legal ramparts against the export of Socialist insanity into the rest of the Country and exposure and accountability for illegal and especially violent actions. Once convicted, we should exclude those people from elected office or public positions. Most of all, Americans need to wake up to the significant internal threat we face and be willing to take strong action against it.

Its just like everything else, dim-0s think they know better than others. They seem to think that socialism is good, even though its never worked. They seem to think that gay people are normal, whereas before all over the world they were considered mentally ill. They think the Godlessness is good and that they know better than millions or billions that came before them. I wonder if they know that TIME, all over the world is measured from the day of Jesus' birth?

President Donald Trump has called for an immediate peace deal with Iran after U.S. allies made unusually vocal calls to hold off on any massive attack. In a Saturday night Truth Social post, Trump made the announcement, while still leaving the threat of military action on the table. The USA is locked and loaded and ready to go against the Islamic Republic of Iran, at levels of Military Terror, Strength, and Power not seen since World War II," Trump said. "Despite this, we have just been asked by Iran, and other Middle Eastern Countries, to hold off any attack in —

With bi-partisan support, the Republican Congress passed the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act back in June and the measure has now become law. While the bill includes some good provisions like preventing large institutional investors from gobbling up single family homes, the legislation is chock full of provisions for developers and assistance to produce more allegedly “affordable housing.” The president and Members of Congress are right to acknowledge the real challenges younger Americans are facing in their attempts to achieve lifestyles similar to, if not better than, those of their parents’ generation.

For years, Washington let a critical federal healthcare program morph into something Congress never intended. What began as a lifeline for vulnerable patients has slowly become a multibillion-dollar windfall for powerful hospitals, with too little transparency, too little accountability, and far too many opportunities for abuse. Politicians ignored the warning signs for far too long. President Donald Trump is finally doing something about it. This week, the Trump administration unveiled a pilot program to modernize the 340B Drug Pricing Program — a commonsense reform that replaces automatic upfront discounts for hospitals with a rebate model for a limited number of drugs. The objective is simple:

The movement to ban Mayor Zohran Mamdani from this year’s 9/11 memorial ceremony at Ground Zero — marking the 25th anniversary of New York City’s darkest day — is mounting. In less than three weeks, more than 62,000 people have signed the Change.org petition demanding Hizzoner skip the solemn event. The mayor’s past remarks and associations with people openly hostile to the U.S. or scornful of the worst terror attack in American history has made his planned attendance a lightning rod for criticism, but he’s so far brushed off the growing chorus and pledges to be there.The petition lists many reasons for wanting to exclude Mamdani,

California Gov. Gavin Newsom allowed a select group of journalists to view his tax returns from 2021 through 2024 at his office on Thursday afternoon, and what's been reported about their contents so far isn't good for the 2028 presidential hopeful. According to reports from multiple outlets invited to view the returns, the Newsoms' income hasn't increased since the last time his returns were released, but Jennifer Siebel Newsom's for-profit company, Girls Club Entertainment, lost money all four years and didn't pay her a salary in 2023 or 2024.

A suspended state representative in Georgia has pleaded guilty in federal court to unemployment fraud dealings made during the COVID-19 pandemic era. Sharon Henderson, the third official in a string of Georgia Democrats to plead guilty, admitted to fraudulent unemployment dealings resulting from the 2020 pandemic, collecting a total of $17,811. “While running for and holding political office, Representative Henderson was fleecing taxpayers, lying to steal money from federal programs intended to help people who lost their jobs due to the pandemic,” U.S. Attorney Theodore Hertzberg said in a press release. “Her prosecution and conviction demonstrate that elected officials who enrich themselves through fraud will be held accountable for violating the public’s trust.”

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson isn’t exactly known for her neutrality — quite the opposite, actually. She’s infamous for using emotional arguments in her decisions and for her long-winded, loaded questions. As our Sister Toldjah reported in 2025, she often gets under the skin of even the other justices. “We will not dwell on Justice Jackson’s argument, which is at odds with more than two centuries worth of precedent, not to mention the Constitution itself,” Barrett wrote about Jackson’s musings regarding a birthright citizen case.

A man who spent years trading on his father's name, collecting millions from foreign business deals, selling paintings to anonymous buyers, and leaning on a Hollywood fixer to cover his bills, now claims he cannot afford a car or a cell phone. Hunter Biden testified under oath that he owns no stocks, bonds, or savings account. His paintings, he said, are the only things he has left that might be worth anything. The admissions came during a Feb. 9 deposition in Hunter Biden’s legal battle with Winston Taylor, formerly Winston & Strawn.

Trump added that the emerging deal “would include the Immediate, Complete, and Total OPENING OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT, and an end to Iran’s nuclear threat.” “Based on this request, I have agreed, for the future benefit of the WORLD and, likewise, the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran, to cancel the attack, subject to being able to rapidly make a DEAL,” Trump said.

Spanish Transport Minister Óscar Puente fueled online claims blaming Israel for Spain’s migrant crisis in the North African enclave of Ceuta on Friday after Israeli U.N. Ambassador Danny Danon criticized Madrid’s handling of the border emergency, escalating an already tense diplomatic dispute between Jerusalem and Spain. The exchange followed Danon’s criticism of Spain after Madrid declared a state of emergency and deployed military forces to Ceuta following an unprecedented surge of migrants crossing into the Spanish enclave from neighboring Morocco. Puente’s cryptic response helped fuel conspiracy theories circulating on Spanish social media alleging Israel — and in some cases the United States — was behind the crisis.

The 25th anniversary of 9/11 is just over a month away, and the families of those murdered in the World Trade Center are making plans for a dignified remembrance of their loved ones on this painful and solemn occasion. There's just one problem: New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani insists on being there despite the growing chorus from the families telling him to stay far away. They'd rather not have a practicing Muslim and avowed socialist mar the day that belongs to them and their memories – feelings that are completely understandable.

Seattle being Seattle, it was only a matter of time before a simple show of support for biological reality in women's sports sparked backlash. On Tuesday night, before the Indiana Fever faced the Seattle Storm, dozens rallied outside Climate Pledge Arena in support of Fever guard Sophie Cunningham. She had recently spoken out in favor of keeping men's sports separate from women's, a view rooted in basic biology and fairness. The fans carried signs and wore shirts affirming that stance. Inside the arena, two 16-year-old girls holding signs that read "Thank you Sophie for speaking up for girls" found themselves targeted.
