The Screenshot That Pulled the Plug - Maria Bartiromo's Fox Exit

By Michael Levine, Public Relations Expert, Author of Authentic PR

Maria Bartiromo’s departure from Fox News offers a lesson about trust, judgment, and the line between journalism and political advocacy. Fox News has described Bartiromo's exit after more than 12 years as a "business decision," without disclosing a reason. However, media reports, citing sources familiar with the matter, say the anchor wanted to pursue a story involving China and conspiracy theories surrounding the 2020 presidential election - a sensitive subject for Fox because of its Dominion settlement and Smartmatic litigation. According to those reports, a Fox Business executive texted producers that the proposed story could not air. Bartiromo allegedly captured a screenshot of that direction and forwarded it to White House officials. Network leaders learned of the disclosure after receiving a call from the White House and viewed the alleged breach of confidential editorial guidance as grounds for firing. The media lesson is clear: credibility takes decades to build, one screenshot to fracture, and almost no time at all to lose. [more...]

The Befuddling Case of Rising Interest Rates

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

A Wall Street Journal article nicely summarized current attempts to explain rising interest rates: "There are four forces pressuring bonds: war is no. 1; fiscal worries, a new Federal Reserve chairman and even the flood of AI bonds are helping drive the recent climb in yields." Yikes! It's enough to make you think that if the war and debts don't tank us, AI and our new Fed chair surely will! [more...]

After 19th Subway Push, NY AG Vows to Castrate Kids

By Daniel Greenfield, CEO of the David Horowitz Freedom Center

In the latest grim milestone under Mamdani, the 19th person was pushed onto the subway tracks so far this year. New York's pro-crime AG Letitia James is however busy investigating the police officers who shot a knife-wielding psycho who had just murdered a woman and is vowing to make sure kids continue to be castrated. "I want transgender youth and all New Yorkers to know I've got your back. I will fight to stop the federal government from taking away the care New Yorkers rely on," James complained over a rule blocking Medicaid funds from being used for castrating kids to make them transgender.

The Radical Stupidity of Modern Antisemitism

By Judd Dunning, Talk Show Host, Newsmax Columnist

The stupidity of antisemitism has no merit. It is simply bigotry, one of mankind's oldest, ugliest and most irrational hatreds. There is nothing intellectually interesting about judging a person because he or she is Jewish, just as there is nothing intellectually defensible about judging an entire race, religion or ethnicity by the sins, politics or actions of somebody else who shares that identity. Yet somehow, in supposedly sophisticated America, antisemitism has again acquired an ideological costume that allows people who would never tolerate open racial prejudice against almost anyone else to rationalize their hatred of Jews as politics.

Supreme Court Just Gave Mail-In Ballot Safeguards a Chance

By John Lott, President of the Crime Prevention Research Center

The Supreme Court's decision to stay the injunction blocking President Trump's March executive order on mail-in ballots gives voters something they are clamoring for: greater confidence in election integrity. A new Rasmussen Reports survey finds that, by a 52% to 34% margin, likely voters say the government has not done enough to prevent election cheating. Even more striking, voters say by nearly two to one that widespread cheating is likely to affect the outcome of this fall's congressional elections. [more...]

Blue State's Green Energy Push Threatens Iconic 'Sacred' Food Source

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

When the Trump administration moved in January 2025 to pause new offshore-wind leasing and review federal wind permits, it cited, among other things, the need to protect marine life and maintain "a robust fishing industry for future generations." The pause offered Massachusetts and federal regulators a chance to reconsider whether industrial construction belongs near one of the region's most important marine habitats: Cox's Ledge. Instead, Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell celebrated in June when Democratic-appointed federal judges invalidated the Trump administration’s wind-permitting pause. [more...]

The Radical Girl Next Door

By Prof. Janice Fiamengo, Author of The Goddess That Failed: Feminism's Unending War against Men, Families, and Civilization Itself

Gloria Steinem was the beautiful face of an ugly ideology.

Following her death last Wednesday at age 92, Gloria Steinem has been described as "a woman who mattered," "a feminist icon," and even "the personification of the women's movement." Despite her modern style and reassuring demeanor, there was nothing "compassionate" or humane about Steinem's vision. Rooted in revolutionary cant about men objectifying women, and dedicated to the subversion of marriage and motherhood, it was socially and culturally poisonous. Perhaps more than any other feminist leader, Steinem promised liberation and fulfillment for both men and women while delivering the sterile narcissism of today's feminist culture. [more...]

The Cybercab Just Landed - and I Think We're Watching History Bend

By Kerry Lutz, Founder of the Financial Survival Network, Economist

September 3, 2026, Tesla pulled the sheet off the production of Cybercab in Austin. Two seats. No steering wheel. No pedals. Built from the ground up to drive itself, full stop. It’s easy to scroll past a headline like that in between the gold charts and the Fed watch, but I don't think this is just another product launch; I think it's an **inflection point** - one of those rare moments where the direction of an entire industry, and honestly a big piece of how we live our daily lives, quietly bends onto a new path. [more...]
