Nike’s stock has slumped to its lowest level in more than a decade after the sportswear giant warned sales will keep falling through 2026. Shares hit an 11-year low on April 1, capping a brutal stretch that has seen the company lose around 75 percent of its value since shares peaked in 2021. It is now worth under $68 billion – a third of the value of TJ Maxx. The latest sell-off was triggered by a bleak outlook, with Nike forecasting sales will slump 4 percent this quarter – a staggering $500 million fall in the value of shoes, tracksuits,...

A lot of us have been wondering if and when Trump would slap down Tucker Carlson. Tucker has been taking potshots—no, firing broadsides—at Trump's policies and the core beliefs of almost every conservative for most of his time as a podcaster. He has essentially called anybody who supports Israel demonic, while implicitly supporting the expansion of Sharia law into the West. He has backstabbed Trump, tried to destroy him and his base, and provided aid and comfort to our enemies. Hasn't Trump noticed? He has... Trump posted a link to Douglas Murray's piece, which absolutely eviscerated Tucker, within about half...

Our military campaign against Iran has been a great success, whether or not it leads to the downfall of the mullahs’ regime. We have badly degraded Iran’s ability to threaten us or our allies, and some changes will be permanent. Thus, for example:Mossad Commentary@MOSSADil · Follow ‼️PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU SIGNALS DIRECT COOPERATION WITH SAUDI ARABIA AND OTHER GULF STATES Netanyahu: Post-war plans include energy and economic cooperation with Saudi Arabia, including pipelines to bypass the Strait of Hormuz. “Iran must be stripped of this leverage.” Iran’s only effective response to our bombardment has been its disruption of the Strait of...

When Clint Eastwood was born in Oakland in 1930, the nurses in the maternity ward nicknamed him Samson for his size. The Great Depression was on, so his father, who had worked in securities, was taking whatever jobs he could find. This meant moving frequently up and down the West Coast. Clint would speak of his father’s work ethic and ability to provide more than most for his family, but also of the childhood loneliness that resulted from all the moves. He took solace in playing the family piano, developing a lifelong love of jazz, and going to lots of...

“Yogi” not-Berra schools the “No Kings” crowd on X. This is (mostly) so on point, I’ve got to share the whole thing.... No Kings explained for people who think they’re fighting fascism. You’re standing in a crowd on Saturday. You look around and think yeah. No Kings. This is what democracy looks like. Bro. You’re holding a sign made by a communist billionaire who lives in Shanghai. You live in a constitutional republic. Elections. Term limits. A free press that spent four years calling the president a fascist without one journalist being arrested. The modern left’s definition of fascism: You...

You may have noticed by now that far-left progressives seem to shift their focus to something new every few months. You wouldn't necessarily think there was a direct path from support for the Green New Deal to chanting "Death to America" in Tehran, but for some young leftists one thing leads to another. Yesterday the Free Press published a lengthy story about the poster girl for this sort of left-wing extremism. Her name is Calla Walsh and a few years ago she was a well-regarded youth activist working on campaigns for national democrats.Walsh studied at two elite Boston preparatory schools,...

Bruce Springsteen is the headliner at the flagshiip No Kings rally at the state Capitol in Saint Paul this afternoon. Joan Baez, Jane Fonda, and Bernie Sanders are also primed to appear. Truth in advertising would require the rally to be redesignated Gimme That Old Time Religion or In Search of Lost Time. As the Rolling Stones once trilled, “What a drag it is getting old.” Tim Walz, Keith Ellison, and Ilhan Omar will also be there. They wouldn’t want to miss the chance to rag on the King. Opposing the King has become the lodestone of their careers. Contrary...

Today, after ten years of fighting, I have reached a settlement agreement with the United States Government in my case regarding the Russian Hoax FBI lawfare against me.Nothing can fully compensate for the hell that my family and I have endured over these many years—the relentless attacks, the destruction of reputations, the financial ruin, and the profound personal toll inflicted upon us all. No amount of money or formal resolution can erase the pain caused by a prosecution that should never have been brought.This ordeal stemmed from partisan government officials in a coordinated effort to pursue an innocent man as...

Many years ago, at the height of anti-Vietnam War agitation, leaders of the movement would say that they weren’t anti-war, they were on the other side. I was reminded of that, watching this video of left-wingers cheering for American soldiers to be killed: (video at source) There are quite a few people at this rally. Some are obviously Middle Eastern, while others look like mainstream Democrats. To the extent that people who attended this rally are not citizens, they should be deported. If they are naturalized citizens, they should be denaturalized. Whoever is left should be shunned and banned from...

While Gavin Newsom’s years-long run for President drags on, his other half is making a media splash. But not quite in the way she expected. No one runs a perpetual presidential campaign quite like the ostensible governor of California, Gavin Newsom. And with the Democrat bench for 2028 serving up warmed-over socialists, commies, and grifters like failed candidate Kamala Harris, French-Laundry Gavin can’t be readily dismissed as the next portside nominee. So, people are beginning to look a bit closer at Jennifer Seibel Newsom. And she’s turning out to be a living, breathing internet meme of Affluent White Female Liberal.Jennifer...

Trump-hating rocker Bruce Springsteen is allowing the American Civil Liberties Union to use his iconic, if often misunderstood, America trashing Vietnam War anthem “Born in the USA” for the ACLU’s ad campaign promoting the leftist group’s birthright citizenship case set for an April 1 Supreme Court hearing challenging President Donald Trump’s 2025 executive order restricting who is eligible for birthright American citizenship. The use of Born in the USA as a patriotic song is a 180 degree reversal for Springsteen who has long downplayed the notion the song is patriotic. When Born in the USA was released in mid 1984...

IF YOU HAD HBO IN THE LATE 1980s and early 1990s, odds are good you were never more than a few hours away from a certain type of film. They were straightforward, pleasing pictures: a laconic, sandy-haired American dispensed justice with a minimum of wit and a maximum of roundhouse kicks. Rarely much longer than 105 minutes, you didn’t need to watch them from start to finish; they were almost designed to be watched in bits and pieces. You could pick up the plot as you went: Odds are there were some bad guys in black pajamas and a soldier...

One of the Secret Service agents who failed to secure the roof of the AGR building at the Butler rally on the day of the assassination attempt against President Trump has been suspended again. Myosoty “Miyo” Perez was one of the agents who failed to secure Trump’s July 2024 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Perez was one of the female agents seen fumbling with her firearm and struggling to holster her gun following the assassination attempt. ... To this day, only six Secret Service agents connected to the Butler assassination attempt were temporarily suspended without pay. Myosoty Perez was one of...

Please pray for the peace of the Church is not in the Bible. Pray for the peace of Jer6 is. Pray for the peace of Israel. Just another proof that the Church and Israel are not the same. The command to "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem" , found in Psalm 122:6. While the specific phrase "pray for the peace of Israel" is not a direct command in scripture, similar blessings and calls for peace are found throughout the Psalms and prophetic books: Psalm 122:6: "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee". Psalm 125:5 &...

High-end athleisure brand Alo could face legal trouble after Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk’s private purchase history was allegedly leaked and used to smear her. A TikTok content creator recorded a now-viral video this week claiming he received an email from "someone who works at Alo" who looked up Kirk’s account and found that she spent over $1,000 the day after her husband was assassinated. The TikTok creator, who displayed the receipt online, mocked Kirk over the timing of the "shopping spree." The influencer – @markosbits on TikTok – insisted the leaked receipt would "completely ruin Erika Kirk’s entire...

Eleven suspected cartel members have been killed in a military operation in the violence-ridden state of Sinaloa in northwestern Mexico, authorities say. The incident occurred in connection with government forces searching properties linked to a branch of the Sinaloa Cartel allied with drug lord Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada. Armed cartel members loyal to Zambada, who has been imprisoned in the United States since 2024, are at war with allies of the sons of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, who is also imprisoned in the United States.

Yes, I am going to say it-Zohran Mamdani’s wife, the First Lady of New York City, Rama Duwaji is a Jew-hating, terrorist lover. “Sure, Lisa”, you say. “Tell us something we did not yet know”. Rama, 28 year-old wife of Mayor Zohran Mamdani who is already under fire for social media posts calling Hamas’ mass raping of Israeli women a “hoax“. Side bar: does she really live with him at Gracie Mansion? Zohran was spotted at the gay bars on Halloween. Word on the street was that he was, uh, “campaigning“… The mayor said his wife’s views should not be...
