They were lusting for a recession. - Matt Vespa

• Instead, what we got was a robust report of three percent economic growth in the second quarter.

The experts were wrong again. well to cut the rates!”

• The New York Times should take a bow for the most Soviet-style headline about the news: “U.S. Economy Slowed in First Half of 2025 as Tariffs Scrambled Data.”

This is Holly — the woman who was brutally beaten unconscious at the Cincinnati Jazz Festival.
And instead of showing compassion, Councilwoman Victoria Parks said she was “grateful” Holly got attacked.
Yes, seriously.
Senator Bernie Moreno just released photos of Holly’s injuries — with her permission — and is calling out the complete failure of leadership in Cincinnati.
“This is Holly. She wanted a nice evening out with friends. Instead, she got THIS.
We need and deserve CHANGE.”...

8 mainstream news outlets that REFUSED to cover Cincinnati mob attack | Blaze Media: 

While police reports are pending, it does certainly appear to be a racially motivated attack. Major news outlets, including CNN, ABC, CBS, the New York Times, the Washington Post, MSNBC, NPR, and the Associated Press, have failed to cover the story, prompting accusations of a media blackout, given the racial dynamics of the incident.

The 'Worst Mayor in America' Promises a 'Head Tax' on Larger Businesses - Rick Moran

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has been busy the last 10 days. 

Last week, he signed an executive order that will crack down on lawbreakers who make the city unlivable.

No, he's not going after murderers, rapists, thieves, muggers, or carjackers. 

Mayor Johnson is cracking down on cigarette smoking on the "L" trains...
“It’s not like the police department is not citing these individuals. It’s just it’s proven not to be enough, and so that’s why we’re taking a more holistic approach,” Johnson said...

• It's not like Johnson doesn't have other problems needing his attention. The Chicago Public Schools (CPS) are more than $700 million short of funding just a few days before the school year starts. 
• The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) is facing a significant budget deficit of $770 million...
• The city's $17 billion budget for 2026 is coming up short $1.2 billion. You've got to hand it to Johnson. When his city runs deficits, it doesn't kid around...

The mayor is falling back on an old idea that was discarded more than a decade ago by former Mayor Rahm Emanuel: a "head tax" on corporations, charging companies $8 per employee...

'Huge red flag': Karen Bass raked in cash from Chinese intel-tied bankers before hiring them * WorldNetDaily * by Philip Lenczycki, Daily Caller News Foundation

'Huge red flag': Karen Bass raked in cash from Chinese intel-tied bankers before hiring them * WorldNetDaily * by Philip Lenczycki, Daily Caller News Foundation: 

The Bass administration's Chinese government-ties have come under increased scrutiny from media outlets and China experts, like Gordon Chang, following a June 2025 DCNF investigation revealing Bass appointed the son of a Democratic fundraiser and CCP intelligence arm official to serve as the city's liaison for Asian-Americans and director of commission appointments. "Los Angeles is now a wide-open city for China's communists," Chang, author of "Plan Red: China's Project To Destroy America," told the DCNF. "Angelenos can thank the CCP sympathizer-in-chief, Karen Bass. Karen Bass resists federal agents and welcomes China's communists. It's very clear where her sympathies lie."

Dear Republicans, get off your butts and go after Letitia James now.

Letitia James, New York’s AG, isn’t doing her job—she’s running a Trump-hate circus, swinging her power like a baseball bat aimed at his head. - Terrence K Williams

She waltzed into office in 2018, yelling about “destroying Trump” like she was auditioning for a reality show...

• Her big win? That $454 million fraud case, saying Trump lied about his property values to trick banks. It’s a total joke. No banks got hurt, nobody lost money, and the loans were paid back with extra.

And the nerve of this woman? 

• She’s being investigated by the DOJ for mortgage fraud—allegedly faking papers to get better loans. 
• Saying her Virginia house was her main home while working in New York? 
• Listing her dad as her husband on forms?.. 

Republicans, quit stalling—hit her hard. 

She didn’t think twice about trying to ruin Trump with garbage charges. 

• Give her a taste of her own medicine. 

Her time’s up, and it’s gonna hurt.

America's corrupt media are going full Hunter's laptop on the latest developments re their beloved "Russia investigation"

The Washington Post and New York Times are PURE propaganda and Democrat activism. 

They pushed the false Russia collusion hoax FOR YEARS. 

They are willfully suppressing the truth about it now. Because they are guilty. https://t.co/G1r7AraSZM— Mollie (@MZHemingway) July 25, 2025

Just to take the most obvious example, The New York Times...has yet to mention that the Director of National Intelligence has referred Barack Obama to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution... 

• In the immortal words of NPR: We don't want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories.

Shortly thereafter, the heads of all 743 US intelligence agencies signed their famous letter agreeing the laptop with its state-of-the-art images of Hunter smoking crack with his AI-generated hookers was an obvious Russian op...

Indisputably TRUE!

The deadly heat wave of July 1936…

...in the middle of one of the hottest summers on record…in the middle of one of the hottest decades ever* - Paul Dorian

• The heat wave experienced in 1936 began in late June, reached a peak in July, and didn’t really come to an end until September. 

Many of the all-time high temperature records that were set in the 1930’s in numerous cities and states still stand today...

Trump considers changes to H-1B visa program * WorldNetDaily * by WND Staff

Trump considers changes to H-1B visa program * WorldNetDaily * by WND Staff: 

The often-controversial H-1B visa foreign-worker program may be getting updated under President Trump's Homeland Security Department. The program was meant to provide American firms more options to hire qualified workers, including those from foreign countries. However, as WND has covered extensively, the H-1B system has been used countless times to replace Americans with less expensive immigrants. For example, while U.S.-based Microsoft workers have faced multiple waves of layoffs, including a recent round targeting the Xbox division, the company has already cut more than 10,000 employees across various divisions, including 6,000 in May alone, and hundreds more in June.

Watch: Sulking Chuck Schumer in Denial on the Senate Floor After Booming GDP Report

Watch: Sulking Chuck Schumer in Denial on the Senate Floor After Booming GDP Report: 

It’s almost as if Democrats are rooting for the U.S. to fail.

This is reminiscent of the egg-price fiasco when Trump began his second term. When the price of eggs finally fell, Democrats had to move on to another topic.

For every problem Trump fixes or takes charge of, there’s always another issue to complain about.
