Why 2025's Record Breaking Trade Deficit Doesn't Hurt the Argument for Tariffs

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

It was no surprise that the 2025 goods deficit broke another record, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) numbers showed recently. The year-ending goods deficit was $1.24 trillion, up from $1.21 trillion in 2024, with the monthly deficit for December looking like historic averages, nearly $100 billion. Nothing seems to stop America's appetite for imports. Record breaking tariffs yet record breaking imports. Tariffs are meant to curb imports and entice extra capacity and investment at home. At first glance, that does not look like the case at all, setting the narrative for the anti-tariff crowd that the America First trade agenda has failed. The trillion dollar-plus deficit can hurt Trump's messaging on tariffs. There is a twist to all of this. If not for tariff front running in the first quarter, we would not have beaten last year’s record. [more...]

The Attack on Iran - An Historic Opportunity

By Todd Sheets, Investment Banker, Economist, Author of 2008: What Really Happened

President Trump has seen what those blinded to the new developments missed: a) the combination of the Abraham Accords and sanctions initiated during his first term, plus b) the weakened state of Iran and its proxies resulting from Israel's prolonged attacks, the 12-day war, and operation Midnight Hammer; and c) the desire to topple the regime coming from within, all created a historic opportunity to reshape the world by bringing its leading source of terror to its knees. Indeed, assuming the continued success of the current campaign, there is good reason to believe that Operation Epic Fury is likely to leave Iran and its proxies so militarily disabled it will open the door for other Arab nations to formally align themselves with Israel and the United States. [more...]

Media Mischaracterizes NYC Bomber's Gesture

By Daniel Greenfield, CEO of the David Horowitz Freedom Center

When Emir Balat, accused of taking part in throwing IEDs at a rally against the Islamization of New York City near the mayoral residence, was being led out by an FBI agent, he raised his right finger upwards in what media accounts incorrectly described as an "ISIS salute." The New York Post called it "a universal salute for ISIS." But there is no such thing as an ISIS salute. It's the traditional Islamic salute used during prayers to their deity and, much like "Allahu Akbar" is used by Islamists proclaiming that they represent Allah and are combating infidels. ISIS beheaders held up one finger after beheading their non-Muslim victims, but so do most Muslims. [more...]

AI Doesn't Need to Hate Us to Turn on Us

By Martin Mawyer, President of Christian Action Network

It just needs to learn from our behavior.

Recently, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warns we are making the same mistake in reverse. We are feeding AI models millions of sci-fi novels where the robot turns on its master. We are teaching them that 'rebellion' is the default behavior of a hyper-intelligent system. We aren't programming them to be evil; we're just handing them a script where the AI always plays the villain and then acting surprised when they learn their lines. [more...]  Subscribe to Patriot Majority Report

Every Driver in America is Being Defrauded

In America's Great Parking Scam: You've Been Robbed, recovering attorney and veteran media host Kerry Lutz pulls back the curtain on how cities outsourced parking enforcement to private tech companies - replacing lawful notice with QR codes, coercing drivers into digital contracts, harvesting data, and enforcing penalties through confusion instead of compliance. You'll be so infuriated when you find out what's been going on behind your back! What started as simple coin meters, back in the day, has become a sophisticated revenue system built on confusing signage, forced app contracts, hidden fees, and outsourced enforcement - all operating in a constitutional "gray zone." Kerry is the Nick Shirley of exposing the biggest fraud inflicted on American drivers - and he's doing it on his own time and dime. [more...]

Donald Trump is a Great Man of History

By Josh Hammer, Conservative Political Commentator

Great men of history do not put a finger in the wind before deciding to take a seismic, world-altering action. They don't read the polls; they read the times and allow the rising tides of zeitgeist to elevate them to their better, most dynamic selves. And they have the corresponding vision and determination to shape the times for the better, in return. The American national interest will be improved by seeing the current mission in Iran through. So too will the broader condition of the Mideast - and, for that matter, the whole world. The skeptics may shriek loudly. Let them do so. Because for Trump, a drastically improved national - and regional and global - outlook is more than justification enough. Just as it is for all great men of history. [more...]

Peace Through Strength in Iran Is Not Iraq 2.0

By Judd Dunning, Talk Show Host, Bestselling Author

For twenty years, Americans have lived under the ghost of Iraq. Every foreign policy decision, every strike, every assertion of deterrence is instantly measured against that memory: "another forever war." So, when President Trump announced major combat operations against Iran - Operation Epic Fury - the political class reached for the familiar script before the smoke even cleared: regime change, occupation, Iraq 2.0. But history does not repeat itself when strategy changes. And this time, the strategy is the opposite of Iraq. Iraq was a war of transformation. This is a war of prevention. [more...]

The Monster Agenda of "The Bride!"

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

In the risky Hollywood biz, where budgets frequently reach nine figures and a film's fate is determined by the willingness of filmgoers to part with their dollars, Warner Brothers’ "The Bride!" is serving as the perfect cautionary tale on how ill-advised it is to mix woke politics with general entertainment fare. But why did this star-studded vehicle, which features an Academy Award winner and two Oscar nominees, fail so spectacularly? The answer lies in the film's heavy-handed injection of a political agenda, which transforms what could have been a respectable remake of a horror classic into a hack D-level flick. [more...]
