New Business Formation Is Accelerating Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent chided us this morning for not paying enough attention to the acceleration of business formation in the U.S., which he highlighted as one of the effects of the Trump administration’s pro-growth policies. The numbers suggest Secretary Bessent has a point. This does deserve more of our attention. So here we go. Speaking at Breitbart News’s “State of the Economy” event, Bessent pointed to the entrepreneurial surge as evidence that the administration is making America more business-friendly and “reprivatizing” the economy. He also highlighted artificial intelligence’s role in making it easier to…

Screencap of Twitter/X video. The View came back from a summer hiatus this week and dove head first into campaigning for the Democrats in the 2026 midterms. Among the conversations on the show today were, invoking the 25th Amendment on President Trump, and voting for the Democrats because, according to host Whoopi Goldberg, ‘our lives literally depend on this.’ This type of open electioneering for one side is why The View has come under a microscope with the FCC. ABC News is not supposed to do this, but they allow The View to do it all the time. Transcript via…

The Kremlin on Tuesday refused a request from Japan to dismantle or modify a new World War 2 memorial in the city of Khabarovsk that some Japanese found offensive because it incorporates the 16-petal chrysanthemum crest from the Imperial Seal of Japan. The statue, unveiled on Friday, is about 50 feet tall and depicts a Soviet soldier using his rifle butt to shatter a border marker. Similar border stones once marked the division between Russian and Japanese territory on the contested island of Sakhalin, which was split between the two countries by the treaty that ended the Russo-Japanese War in…

Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul struggles to “explain” massive support for Ukraine to German taxpayers German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul has criticized Kiev for failing to spend enough of its Western-provided procurement money on German weapons, arguing that Berlin’s massive support for Ukraine should at least benefit its defense industry.Germany is one of Ukraine’s largest bilateral supporters, having provided or earmarked more than €43 billion ($50 billion) in “civilian” assistance and around €58 billion in military aid since the conflict escalated in 2022.“We are now the strongest supporter of Ukraine in terms of financial and military support. And naturally, the German…

Abdul-El-Sayed appears on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday. Credit: Meet the Press screenshot Newly resurfaced comments from Abdul El-Sayed, the far left Muslim Democrat running for U.S. Senate in Michigan, appear to downplay the crimes perpetrated against America on 9/11 and inflate America’s reaction to them as some form of injustice. This aligns perfectly with inflammatory things that he wrote and published in the years after 9/11. This is a perfect example of the old saying – When someone repeatedly tells you who they are, believe them. The New York Post reports: Abdul El-Sayed condemned US response to 9/11…

U.S. forces destroyed five IRGC-linked oil tankers Tuesday after Iran twice targeted an American warship with ballistic missiles, carrying out Washington’s warning that continued attacks on the U.S. Navy would exact an increasingly steep price on Tehran’s oil fleet.

American forces responded by destroying four IRGC crude carriers — the M/T Kaviz, M/T Charminar, M/T Horizon 1, and M/T Riesco — in the Gulf of Oman and a fifth, the M/T Derya, near Kharg…
