Minneapolis Shooting Update

By John Lott, Worldwide Expert on Guns & Crime

In Minnesota, state law firmly prohibits teachers and other school staff - whether public or private - from carrying or possessing concealed firearms on school property, even with a valid Permit to Carry. Here’s how the restrictions break down under current law. It is a felony for anyone to knowingly possess, store, or keep a dangerous weapon (including a firearm) on school property. This applies to both public and private elementary, middle, or secondary schools, as well as their grounds, buildings, school buses, and areas under temporary exclusive school control. [more...]

When Bulls Become Bubbles

By Todd Sheets, Author of 2008: What Really Happened

Let's look at the common characteristics of two of the worst stock market bubbles in history, so we can see what they have to teach investors and policymakers about today's circumstances. As bull markets turn into bubbles, many investors make the mistake of believing that rapidly rising prices confirm the notion that a new era really has arrived and that old rules no longer apply, which can lead to jumping in with both feet just as things are becoming most dangerous. For policymakers, the key takeaway is that even a small rate cut during a period characterized by both bull market and new era thinking can lead to a dangerous escalation of stock prices followed by a severe collapse, which can cripple an otherwise sound agenda.

After 5-Year-Old Killed, Chicago Pols Condemn Trump for Trying to Fight Crime

By Daniel Greenfield, Author of Domestic Enemies

"What possible justification could the White House have?"

Chicago politicians like Mayor Brandon Johnson refuse to fight crime, instead they support criminals. Now a 5-year-old boy is dead among the massive toll of Chicago’s endless crime wave over the recent weekend. "6 dead, 27 hurt in Chicago weekend shootings, police say," CBS Chicago. And there were many more... Illinois and Chicago Dems think this is perfectly normal and are outraged that President Trump wants to put a stop to the fun. [more...]


Hey, Cracker Barrel - Time to Take DEI Off Your Menu

By Greg Rabidoux, Award-Winning Filmmaker, Author & Cultural Commentator

Not double down on Woke radicalism which is already costing your brand millions.

CEO Julie Masino said recently that the feedback to her radical re-branding of Cracker Barrel, a very traditional, southern comfort food restaurant adored by millions, has been overwhelmingly positive. Now, I do not know who she has apparently been hearing from other than the DEI consultants and left-leaning folks in her inner circle and those on her Board of Directors. But I do know a number of folks, mostly between the ages of 55-75 who hate the fact that Cracker Barrel just killed its Barrel, its elderly country guy in a rocking chair on its logo, and much of its inner-restaurant decor and memorabilia. "Too nostalgic and old" said one spokesperson. "To hell with them" said my elderly neighbor. [more...]


D.C. is Murder-Free Thanks to Trump, But His Haters Won't Accept Reality

By John Lott, Worldwide Expert on Guns & Crime

Democrats are still in denial about Washington, D.C.'s crime problem and decrying President Trump's intervention; but it's time they face reality. Over the last 12 days, as Trump federalized the D.C. police force and deployed federal officers on district streets, the city's shockingly high murder rate screeched to a halt. No homicides were recorded at all in that timeframe - a sharp, statistically significant drop that's far too large to dismiss as mere chance. [more...]


Trump's Border Revolution Must Now Be a Moral Imperative

By Judd Dunning, Talk Show Host, Bestselling Author

America is a compassionate nation. But compassion without law is chaos. Compassion without borders is destruction. And when that chaos ends in a child's death, a mother's rape, or a family shattered by foreign criminality, we must ask - what, exactly, are we being compassionate toward? This month alone, horrifying headlines have forced even the most reluctant Americans to confront that question. [more...]


The Big California Redistricting Scheme

By James Hirsen, NY Times Bestselling Author, International Business Attorney, News Analyst & Cultural Commentator

California's state legislature recently came up with a proposed redistricting plan, which is spearheaded by Governor Gavin Newsom. Democrats are taking a democracy-destroying approach in order to supposedly save democracy... wobbly-headed, but after all, this is the Left Coast. The whole thing is a dangerous step backwards for the state, and even more importantly, for the nation at large. [more...]

D.C.'s Murder Rate is More Than 500% Higher Than the Average State

By John Lott, Worldwide Expert on Guns & Crime

D.C.’s murder rate ran 169 percent higher than Louisiana’s, the deadliest state, and an astonishing 523 percent higher than that of the average state.

Democrats insist Washington, D.C. doesn't have a crime problem. On a podcast last week, Senate Chuck Schumer (D-NY) claimed, "I walk around all the time. I wake up early in the morning ... And I feel perfectly safe." He dismissed Republican concerns about safety as "full of it," but, of course, Schumer doesn't go anywhere without his security detail. In a similar vein, D.C. Councilmember Charles Allen called the federalization of law enforcement "unnecessary, unwarranted," and the D.C. Council emphasized that crime rates are at "the lowest rates we’ve seen in 30 years."

Gov. Newsom Claims Credit for Drop in 'Homelessness' Due to Trump's Immigration Crackdown

By Daniel Greenfield, Author of Domestic Enemies

...the same crackdown Newsom has been resisting.

Gov. Gavin Newsom is claiming credit for finally solving homelessness. But why didn't homelessness drop from all the same programs that were being implemented for over a decade? The answer is that there was a massive increase in homelessness in America due to Biden's open borders. This was especially true in California. The drop in California's homeless population isn't because the same worthless failed policies suddenly began working, it's because illegal aliens are fleeing President Trump's illegal alien crackdown - the same crackdown that Gov. Newsom has been vocally resisting and whose results he's now taking credit for. [more...]


If FLOTUS Was a Leftist

By Greg Rabidoux, Award-Winning Filmmaker, Author & Cultural Commentator

If FLOTUS was on the Left, politically speaking, she'd be as much in demand for red-carpet press junkets, fashion magazine covers, social media podcasts and all the hottest Hollywood scripts her agent could e-mail her. Add in that Melania is an immigrant from Slovenia, a successful businesswoman in her own right, a fashion model, and she pens heartfelt letters to the real-life villain V. Putin of Russia, urging him to stop killing for the sake of the children. The result? The Left would already have built statues in her likeness. Best of all? Unlike the former First Lady, she's not out in public comparing the entire Latino population to a taco. Or running down her husband for the sake of podcast clicks like Michelle. Or, well, just being Hillary. [more...]


Mamdani's Dangerous Stance on the NYPD - Trump Must Intervene

By Rabbi Daniel Schonbuch

In the span of just a few weeks, NYC has endured not one but two devastating mass shootings, each ripping apart families and leaving entire neighborhoods shaken. Most recently, tragedy struck in Brooklyn, where multiple gunmen opened fire in Crown Heights, killing three people and wounding nearly a dozen more. These back-to-back attacks have left New Yorkers asking a simple but urgent question: Who will protect us? Zohran Mamdani represents the most alarming answer to that question. His past statements reveal a deeply troubling stance on public safety: "We don't need an investigation to know that the NYPD is racist, anti-queer & a major threat to public safety. What we need is to #DefundTheNYPD." He doubled down, writing, "There is no negotiating with an institution this wicked & corrupt. Defund it. Dismantle it. End the cycle of violence." The very possibility of his winning the mayoralty - and his well-documented calls to defund the police - is already creating fear among residents and emboldening criminals. [more...]


Is the Stock Market in a Speculative Bubble?

By Todd Sheets, Author of 2008: What Really Happened

While the stock market at times offers the opportunity to speculate on what, for a brief shining moment, seem like sure things, there's also another way to approach matters. To know the difference between price and value - where price is simply the market price that a security trades at on a given day, but value is what a knowledgeable investor would pay to buy and hold an entire business over longer periods of time. For instance, a day trader is most interested in price, i.e. is a new IPO going to "pop." Or is this meme stock ready for a run if someone drums up enough speculative excitement on social media? In other words, traders are almost completely focused on the price, with the additional twist that a rapidly rising price is seen as a good thing - not a sign of potential danger. [more...]


As "Liberation Day" Tariffs Take Hold, Inflation Could Rise, But It Won't All Be Due to Tariffs

By Kenneth Rapoza, Reporter/Columnist for Coalition for a Prosperous America

Inflation is looking tame. The question is, will the trend hold in August and September? It’s been three full months of record-high tariffs, and yet rolling 12-month overall inflation came in at 2.7% in July, the same percentage rate as June, according to last week's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) inflation report. Core inflation (CPI), which excludes food and oil, rose 3.1% in July, up from 2.9% in June. It barely moved upwards, surprising everyone who predicted inflation would rise substantially. July's inflation figures come at a time when importers faced 10% tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, announced on "Liberation Day" in April. And at least two big import sectors faced high Section 232 tariffs. [more...]


Trump Admin Efforts Could Sharply Reduce D.C. Crime

By John Lott, Worldwide Expert on Guns & Crime

When 10 juveniles brutally attacked former DOGE whiz kid Edward Coristine (nicknamed "Big Balls") in an attempted carjacking that left him bloodied, Washington, D.C.’s violent crime rate exploded into a political flashpoint. President Trump’s decision to federalize the D.C. police and bring in FBI agents and the National Guard to fight crime has upset liberals who attack it as “unnecessary” and the media who fact check Trump’s statements on crime as false. “I’m going to make our Capital safer and more beautiful than it ever was before,” President Trump vowed on Truth Social. “The criminals – you don’t have to move out. We’re going to put you in jail where you belong.” On Monday morning, Trump unveiled his plans, announcing a historic escalation of law enforcement in D.C. by deploying the National Guard to patrol the streets and placing the city’s police department under federal control.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Has Become Trump's Silent Partner in Trade

By Kenneth Rapoza, Reporter/Columnist for Coalition for a Prosperous America

The China-U.S. tariff truce survives - thanks to Nvidia

President Trump agreed to extend the tariff trade truce 'til Nov. 9. Here's why: Trump and Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang. Nvidia this week agreed to give the U.S. government a portion of its revenue from selling computer chips to China. U.S. multinationals have been giving China free lobbying for years. But perhaps the greatest example of this came on July 14. That's when tech-giant Nvidia said it got the go-ahead from the Trump administration to sell the company's H20 micro-processing unit to Chinese buyers - possibly used for supercomputing AI platforms, possibly used for defense purposes. Nobody knows. [more...]

Making D.C. Safe and Beautiful Again

By Greg Rabidoux, Award-Winning Filmmaker, Author & Cultural Commentator

Democrats cry 'dictatorship' while victims simply cry.

As someone who went to school, worked, and lived in D.C. for years, I pray that President Trump's actions yesterday will help save our once beautiful and safe nation's capital. While the Left is outraged that the Trump Administration has the audacity to want to clean up D.C. streets, restore law and order and actually make D.C. livable, the fact is this: The weak, feckless, misguided and utterly soft on crime D.C. "leadership" brought this on themselves. And, since D.C. is for all Americans, they brought "it," (crime, drugs, gangs, homelessness, revolving door justice, emboldened youthful offenders) on all of us. [more...]


Why Trump's Border Revolution Must Remain an Ongoing American Moral Imperative

And when that chaos ends in a child’s death, a mother’s rape, or an entire family shattered by foreign criminality, we must ask - what, exactly, are we being compassionate toward? Recently, a wave of horrifying headlines forced even the most reluctant Americans to confront that question. The Constitution, our unwavering and indisputable covenant, not only binds our government but virtually all of us, as legal American citizens of diverse races, genders, religions, and backgrounds - guaranteeing us all irrefutable rights to protection and freedom. Securing our borders and safeguarding our safety is not an optional task - but our government’s primary responsibility. [more...]


Trump Must Step into the NYC Mayor's Race – Before It's Too Late

By Rabbi Daniel Schonbuch

New York City is staring down a political disaster named Zohran Mamdani – a radical whose open embrace of socialist and communist ideals would turn the world’s greatest city into an experiment in economic collapse and social chaos. Under the Communist's 'vision,' property rights would be gutted, businesses would be punished for success, and law enforcement would be weakened in the name of "equity." It's the same failed formula that has turned once-thriving countries into cautionary tales: seize the means of production, redistribute wealth until there's none left to take, and destroy the incentives that keep a city alive. If Mamdani's brand of hard-left politics captures City Hall, New York won't just decline – it will unravel. [more...]


Artificial Intelligence and the Eighth Wonder of the World

By Todd Sheets, Author of 2008: What Really Happened

"Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it ...he who doesn't, pays it," said Albert Einstein. It's worth understanding what he's talking about, which, in this case, is the power of compound interest to grow monetary resources to unimaginable heights over time. The Artificial Intelligence Revolution, under the right system, has the potential to reignite the type of compounding economic growth we've experienced in past periods. Fortunately, the Trump administration’s regulation-lite "AI Action Plan" enhances the opportunity for the Artificial Intelligence Revolution to reignite the kind of economic growth and upward mobility that we've experienced in the past.

Kamala's Unrequited Love Affair with Obama

By Daniel Greenfield, Author of Domestic Enemies

Michelle Obama had never liked Kamala, and their awkward relationship would be on full display during the 2024 presidential campaign, while Barack Obama never took Kamala seriously and refused to support her political ambitions. Kamala's relationship with the Obamas was very much an unrequited one. On paper, Barack Obama and Kamala Harris, the children of radical foreign grad students raised outside America, had much in common, but both politicians were insecure narcissists skating by on their personalities and biographies, and while Kamala's narcissism led her to see herself in Obama, the object of her affection saw her as good looking but dumb, and not good enough to be him.

Gun-Free Zones Like Fort Stewart Invite Mass Shootings

By John Lott, Worldwide Expert on Guns & Crime

This week, another mass shooting unfolded - this time at Fort Stewart military base in Georgia. A male Army sergeant, who illegally carried a gun on the base, wounded five soldiers before others tackled and disarmed him. Typically, only authorized designated security forces such as MPs are armed on duty. Any other soldier caught carrying a firearm faces severe consequences. So why would a soldier risk such harsh penalties? Because if you're the attacker, planning to murder fellow soldiers, gun control laws won't stop you. Time after time, murderers exploit regulations that guarantee they'll face no armed resistance. Diaries and manifestos of mass public shooters show a chilling trend. They deliberately choose gun-free zones, knowing their victims can’t fight back. While we don’t yet know if the Fort Stewart shooter made that same calculation, his actions fit a pattern seen in dozens of other cases. Let's stop pretending that gun-free zones protect anyone; they only protect killers.

Trade Deficit Falls 16%, But Goods Deficit Surprisingly Resilient

By Kenneth Rapoza, Reporter/Columnist for Coalition for a Prosperous America

The trade deficit fell 16% in June to a low $60.2 billion, the Bureau of Economic Analysis said last week, but despite a 3.7% reduction in imports, the goods deficit for the month was surprisingly resilient compared to recent years without tariffs. The June goods deficit number was $85.87 billion – the lowest figure on the year – though that trade gap for the month is not much different than the summer months of 2023. Back then, President Trump was not exactly looking like a shoo-in to win back the White House. There were no new tariffs, and yet, the trade deficits back then were $88 billion in June and July and $84 billion in August. The June 2025 figure indicates that despite the global 10% tariff and roughly 55% tariffs on China, following the Geneva and London trade agreements, imports were not wrecked as many suggested.

Six AIs Can't All Be Wrong - Google's Algorithmic Suppression Exposed

That's not speculation, that's consensus. The pattern is unmistakable. This is not just a consumer complaint. This is Operation Algorithm Assassin - a multi-front campaign to expose and stop Big Tech's ability to quietly silence lawful voices. [more...]

If Court Kills Trump's IEEPA Tariffs, Here's How America First Trade Agenda Survives

By Kenneth Rapoza, Reporter/Columnist for Coalition for a Prosperous America

Trump's April 2 Liberation Day tariffs may be on their last leg but should the Appeals Court rule that the President’s use of the International Economic Emergency Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose tariffs worldwide is illegal, the America First trade agenda will live on. To date, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and even the president himself have not broken a sweat about the possibility of these tariffs being overturned. I assume they have a Plan B. And I am sure Bessent knows how bad it would be if he was counting on $300 billion a year in tariff revenue to fund tax cuts and suddenly it all gets watered down, with the threat of companies suing for tariff refunds.

Hey, Experts - Admit What You Got So Wrong on Trump's Tariffs

By John Lott, Worldwide Expert on Guns & Crime

Economists across the political spectrum predicted that President Trump's trade negotiations would end in disaster. Now that his Aug. 1 deadline has passed without the sky falling - and with multiple advantageous deals completed - it's time to seriously re-evaluate the flawed arguments the experts made against his strategy. Many, it turns out, made basic errors in economic reasoning. On the left, Nobel laureate and Columbia professor Joseph Stiglitz declared in January that Trump's policy was "very bad for America and for the world," while University of Michigan economist Justin Wolfers called it "impressively destructive." On the right, prominent free-market advocates like George Mason’s Donald Boudreaux also voiced strong opposition. Yet their arguments against tariffs revealed a fundamental misunderstanding: They decried tariffs as uniquely harmful, while ignoring that the same logic applies to all taxes. [more...]

How the Homeless Crisis Began and How Trump is Fixing It

By Dr. Robert Marbut

As the nation's leading think tank on homelessness policy, our organization has long called for the very action President Trump's Executive Order takes - rolling back the federal government's failed, one-size-fits-all "Housing First" mandate. Despite President Obama's 2013 pledge to end homelessness within a decade, the policy has led to a 34% increase in homelessness. The Biden Administration's most recent Annual Homeless Assessment Report (12-24) shows that unsheltered, street-level homelessness is growing at a rate that would double the crisis every five to six years without urgent reform.

"From the River to the Sea, NYC Will Be Free" - Mamdani's Plan

By Rabbi Daniel Schonbuch

Why Zohran Mamdani Refuses to Condemn "Globalize the Intifada" - Because He Wants to Globalize It 

When Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani hears the phrase "globalize the intifada," he doesn't recoil in disgust. He doesn't rush to distance himself from a slogan that glorifies decades of terror against Jews. He doesn’t condemn it because he believes in it. To him, "globalize the intifada" isn't a dangerous threat. It's a political roadmap. It's not a phrase he's ashamed of - it's a vision he wants to see realized. Mamdani doesn't condemn the intifada because he wants to export it. What does the phrase really mean? [more...]


The Fed - Are We Debating the Right Issues?

By Todd Sheets, Author of 2008: What Really Happened

I agree with President Trump that the Fed is an institution badly in need of reform. I also agree that our objective should be to create an environment where sustainable longer-term interest rates are as low as possible. To understand how to accomplish sustainably low long-term interest rates, we first must understand what the Fed, even with its overblown powers, can and can't do. But why are we debating potential 25 basis point moves and the theoretical independence of the Fed when we should be questioning why, after two centuries of unimpeachable evidence on the failure of central planning vis-a-vis markets, we are still allowing a dozen people to override the market-based signals offered up by billions of market transactions? Especially given that the Fed sets rates that affect everything from auto sales in Alaska, to housing prices in Honolulu, to stock speculation on Wall Street. [more...]


Texas Dems Flee to One of the Most Gerrymandered States to Protest Gerrymandering

By Daniel Greenfield, Author of Domestic Enemies

"In Illinois, where Trump won 43% of the vote, there are 14 Democrats and only 3 Republicans."

Running away to Illinois to escape gerrymandering is like fleeing to Chicago to escape political corruption, but that's what a bunch of Texas Dems did, breaking quorum to avoid a new congressional map less favorable to Democrats. Illinois billionaire Governor J.B. Pritzker, who appears to be nursing presidential ambitions somewhere in his belly, is milking the publicity stunt for all it's worth. Opposing gerrymandering is a noble quest, but if Texas Dems really oppose it, they'll have plenty of chances to do it in their new state. [more...]


Everyone Knows an Eagle Beats a Jaguar

By Greg Rabidoux, Award-Winning Filmmaker, Author & Cultural Commentator

...but only if it's an American Eagle versus a British Jaguar.

American Eagle gets it. They made a playful ad with a beautiful woman. The Left yelled "girlcott" while the market, the real truth diviner, boosted American Eagle stocks up to the tune of a $200 million gain. Their jeans are flying off shelves just like proud, soaring eagles. Meanwhile, the CEO of Jaguar got the boot. Their "rainbow" LGBTQ infused re-branding was a devastating disaster. They went from sales of 227,000 to 23,000. Jaguar enthusiasts and those considering buying all asked the same questions, "What in the world were they thinking?" Is this legendary automobile now only for the wokest of wokes? Do cars really care about the sexual preferences of their owners? Does Jaguar Inc. have the faintest idea of who their consumers are? Apparently not. One thing is clear -American Eagle owes no one an apology; Jaguar, on the other hand, should say sorry and shift its branding gears once again. [more...]


Communist Seduction and Zohran Mamdani

By James Hirsen, NY Times Bestselling Author, International Business Attorney, News Analyst & Cultural Commentator

If America is to survive as a nation, it is important that we have a fuller understanding of the inherent dangers of communism. Our country now finds itself in the situation of having a candidate for the upcoming NYC mayoral race who has a documented track record of proudly advocating full-blown communist policies. Dem candidate for NYC mayor Zohran Mamdani has made it very clear that he wants to eliminate the free market and replace it with communism. His Big Apple starting point would be housing, with a plan to get rid of privately-owned housing and instead have government-controlled property. Under the mantle of supposed social justice, he seeks to confiscate the wealth of New York City homeowners. His policies would inevitably drive real estate development and investment out of the city.
