Too much debt should be the theme song for the US! Both for consumers and the Feral government (not a typo!) Consumer credit increased by +$6.403 billion in April, much softer than consensus estimate of +$10 billion … more notable, however, was March data, given initial read of +$6.274 billion was revised down to -$1.099 billion. Not to mention $13 trillion in mortgage debt (1-4 unit housing), but at least that is backed by property. Unlike The Feral government who borrows/prints with only a promise. Consumer Debt Hits $17.69 TRILLION. US national debt stands at $34.8+ trillion. And growing awfully...

Republican Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin said Monday on Fox News how his state could be in “play” for former President Donald Trump come this November, calling out the top issues for voters within the state. Youngkin appeared on “Hannity” to discuss recent polling from the typically blue state which showed President Joe Biden in a tight race with the former president. Fox host Sean Hannity questioned the governor on the new data, asking if the state could possibly be in “play” for Trump based on the data being shown.

In a stunning blow to the Biden administration, the widely respected statistical analysis website 538 has reported that President Joe Biden’s approval rating has plummeted to an all-time low of 37%. This alarming statistic comes at a time when the Biden administration is grappling with a range of challenges, including the ongoing border crisis, rising inflation, and the aftermath of the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan. The 538 poll, which is considered one of the most reliable and accurate sources of political data, has sent shockwaves through the political landscape. The poll’s findings indicate that a significant majority of Americans disapprove...

It seems like Canada's very liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been around forever. It seems longer when you have someone who is so insufferable. He's been in office since 2015, which I guess is a long time when you consider all the harm he's done to the country. If you think people hate Joe Biden, people in Canada may hate Trudeau even more:He has trailed in polls by double digits for nearly a year, and the outlook for the once popular prime minister is so grim that some old guard Liberals have been grumbling that maybe he should just...

A beloved grandmother and great-grandmother were tragically killed in a car crash on M-53 in Shelby Township, Michigan last Thursday. 63-year-old Crystal Brunn and her 88-year-old mother were killed after Jose Eugeno Medina-Hernandez, an illegal alien, rear-ended a car, causing a multi-vehicle pileup.

If the bird flu were to suddenly be transmissible from person-to-person, there would be every reason to suspect gain-of-function bioweapons research.But, all the hype about whether the bird flu will become a human pandemic might just be a distraction.There are certainly pharmaceutical companies that would benefit from a human bird flu pandemic, but the industry might make even more money “preventing” a human pandemic by vaccinating farm animals, especially the world’s 33 billion chickens.So far, the government’s response to the bird flu has been to kill millions of chickens–85.87 million birds killed since 2022.From an animal welfare perspective, it’s viciously...

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) went on NBC's Meet the Press to say that "Trump's conviction validates the American judicial system. Here we have a person of immense wealth and privilege brought down by a jury of ordinary folks. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg ran for his office on a promise to put Trump behind bars. He was elected and has delivered on that promise. This is a potent warning to all the enemies of our democracy that they will pay a price for defying the power of the people voters put in office." Bragg urged Judge Juan Merchan...

The overlapping roles are under scrutiny as the president distances himself from his family’s dealings. For years, Joe Biden shared a bookkeeper with his son, Hunter. He also shared a personal lawyer with his brother, Jim. And when Jim Biden wanted to know more about one of Hunter Biden’s associates, he hired the former head of Joe Biden’s Secret Service detail to investigate. Since 2019, Joe Biden has repeatedly distanced himself from his family’s business dealings, saying that he has never so much as discussed them with his relatives or with anyone else. But House impeachment inquiry interviews, public records...

British MSNBC contributor Katty Kay on Monday pondered why former President Donald Trump has the right to speak openly about the Democrat-led prosecutions he has faced. Trump has consistently spoken out about the cases against him, characterizing them as “election interference” and a “sham.” Kay on “Morning Joe” questioned MSNBC legal analyst Barbara McQuade about why Trump is able to make these remarks and what dangers this ability may pose. WATCH: WARNING! MASSIVE UGLY! VIDEO AT LINK.............. “Somebody actually just last week from the U.K. was asking me, ‘how is it that Donald Trump can stand outside the courtroom and...

Nothing democrats do or say or try is stopping Trump. They're willing to rip up the Constitution and tear apart the country to do it. Nothing is working. They tried a fake dossier in 2016. They stole the election in 2020 by creating a false narrative about Hunter Biden's laptop. They concocted a scheme in New York City that's so confusing no democrat can really tell you what happened. They got their conviction after a handpicked Trump hating democrat donor judge guided a jury to convict Trump and made sure his daughter would continue to profit from the trial. And...

Bill Maher is still a Democrat and he's probably going to vote for Joe Biden, if he votes at all, because of his Trump Derangement Syndrome. But the funny thing is, he keeps giving everyone else great reasons why they shouldn't. And he believes that Biden is going to lose, as he explained last week.

They’re not even trying to hide it anymore. After a week where the polls didn’t give the Biden-Harris ticket the bump Democrats were hoping for, Vice President Kamala Harris escalated her criticism of presumptive GOP presidential nominee and former President Donald Trump on Saturday, arguing his conviction on 34 questionable felony counts in a Manhattan court ought to be “disqualifying.” The speech, given at a Democratic Party dinner Saturday in Detroit, gave Harris the opportunity to up the rhetoric over what she termed Trump’s “attacks” on the justice system, according to Politico. “You know why he complains? Because the reality...

There's an open townhall meeting tomorrow evening in the town where the officer involved in the Sturgeon, Mo. dog shooting is employed. It will be interesting to see what people say.

In a typical case, a convict will be given the opportunity to accept responsibility and present mitigating factors that could reduce any sentence. That is going to be difficult for a man who has constantly railed against the case against him. | Alex Kent for POLITICO Will Donald Trump avoid prison? It may depend partly on his ability to convince a probation officer that he would be “amenable to supervision.”That’s according to Martin Horn, a former commissioner of both the New York City Department of Probation and the city’s Department of Correction, who spoke to POLITICO Magazine about the process...

Joe Biden on Sunday spoke to reporters at the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in Belleau, Northern France. Biden told reporters that being in France reminded him of his uncle Bosie whom he has repeatedly claimed was eaten by cannibals in New Guinea. Of course, Joe Biden had to make the visit to the Aisne-Marne American cemetery about himself. “You know, I don’t want to make this personal but when I show up at a military site where veterans are buried, it brings back memories of hearing my grandfather and my mother talk about the loss of their son and brother in...

Facing the toughest election since his first win in 2006, Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mt) is investing $640,000 in an ad campaign aimed at convincing voters that his Republican opponent Tim Sheehy "will be a puppet for shady special interests. He's taking thousands of dollars from special interests. He won't be an independent voice for the common people of our state like I am." Ironically, lobbyists have donated more than $458,000 to Tester in the last two years making him the biggest Congressional recipient of lobbyist cash over for the time span. Tester was also the intended beneficiary of $6 million...
