  • Tariff rebate checks are a political gimmick, not sound fiscal policy. We shouldn't be buying votes for the next election with money that's already a burden on American families. 
  • China's aggressive naval drills, harassment of allies like the Philippines, and horrific human rights abuses, including forced organ harvesting and illegal detention of foreigners, demand a unified global response. It's time for the free world to stand together and impose universal sanctions until Beijing makes amends. 
  • Facebook is deleting millions of accounts, claiming they're fake. But who gets to decide? Big Tech's algorithms are notoriously opaque and often silence legitimate voices they disagree with. We've seen this movie before. Don't be surprised when real conservatives get caught in their 'fake account' net.
  • Every redistricting season, both parties play the same old game: carving up districts to protect incumbents and rig elections. We need to put an end to this political power grab and let voters, not politicians, choose their representatives.
  • Catch a new Saving America interview with child safety expert and author Debbie Ausburn! We discuss her journey, the vital work of helping children in both foster and natural families, and the most important aspects of being a foster parent. A must-watch for anyone passionate about child safety!
  • Second Lady Usha Vance and astronaut Suni Williams, a true American hero, teamed up at NASA in Houston to inspire kids with the power of reading! Great to see strong women promoting literacy and the spirit of exploration.
  • Biden's DOJ spying on Trump's future cabinet before he even took office? This is an outrageous abuse of power and a direct attack on our democracy! The judge who signed off on this warrant needs to be impeached immediately. We demand accountability! 
  • Chicago's mayor just greenlit a pension boost for police and firefighters, but the city’s pension funds are already dangerously underfunded. This isn't supporting first responders, it's saddling taxpayers with billions in new debt. Another day, another example of fiscal recklessness. 
  • Well, look who's back from the dead! Bed Bath & Beyond and Party City are both reopening their doors. Just when you thought the shopping party was over, these retail zombies shambled back to life. Guess it really is never too late for a comeback!
  • While Sam's Club plans a major comeback, Costco is opening 4 new stores this month alone as part of its massive global expansion! Looks like the warehouse club wars are heating up. Who's your favorite? 
  • How tweet! Houston PD halted 290 traffic for a family of ducks waddling their way across! Proof that even on busy highways, kindness and cuteness can still cause a jam.
  • A weather man from Atlanta rescued a panicking woman in a flooded car during a live broadcast. Bob van Dillen is saving America.
  • While his position on vaccines gives me heartburn, I am thrilled that RFK Jr. is calling on the food industry to get rid of artificial food dyes. It’s time to get these poisons away from consumable goods.
  • Trump has warned China and Japan not to devalue their currency, which would give their goods an advantage in the international market and could counter his intentions for tariffs.
  • A former senior advisor to the Federal Reserve has been indicted for stealing sensitive financial data for the Chinese government. I am of course shocked, and definitely not going to say I told you so.
  • SCOTUS sided with the FCC, upholding the E-rate program. This means unelected bureaucrats can continue to levy fees and control billions, a blow to efforts to rein in the administrative state & ensure accountability.
  • Walgreens is going private, which might mean locations will be further reduced or other profit-increasing inconveniences might be implemented.
