On Friday’s broadcast of CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-NY) said that New York City can’t raise taxes because they’re losing population, as are blue states and cities where “taxes are too high,” and “people are moving to low-tax states like Florida and Texas and Tennessee and other states. Now, I disagree with their policies, but we have to figure out how to make it attractive.” Suozzi also stated that “since we lost the state and local tax deduction, which is a body blow to New York and other high-tax states, we’re continuing to lose population from places like…

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved the $8 billion merger between Paramount Global and Skydance Media. The approval came a little over a year after the two companies agreed to the merger. On Thursday, the FCC officially approved the “transfer of licenses for 28 CBS-owned local TV stations to the Skydance-led ownership group that is taking over Paramount Global — removing the merger’s final regulatory hurdle,” according to Variety. The FCC approved the deal by a vote of 2-1, with only Commissioner Anna Gomez (a Biden appointee) opposing it on the grounds of Paramount recently settling a lawsuit with President Trump,…

Elon Musk is promising to shake up the midterms with his own political party. Democrats aren’t sweating it. Musk’s yet-unfulfilled plans to form an “America Party” could threaten Republicans already fighting to defend their seats by razor-thin margins in next year’s midterms elections, Democrats argued, by siphoning off more disgruntled conservatives from Republicans than disaffected liberals from the Democrats. “I think it leads to a better position for Democrats in what I think was already a pretty good position going into 2026,” Michigan Democratic Party Chair Curtis Hertel said. Musk was one of President Donald Trump’s biggest benefactors in the…

‘Russian disinfo’ slayers try very hard to pin Queen Ursula’s no-confidence vote on Moscow Apparently, trying to hold Ursula von der Leyen accountable is now a Russian op, reports Der Spiegel, citing a new NATO-linked think tank report.The study treats elected oversight and European lawmakers whose job, ideally, involves more than clapping like trained seals every time an unelected Eurocrat lights public money on fire, like elements of some kind of Russian infiltration plot.“Massive support for this effort was also found by pro-Kremlin media outlets, bloggers, and online influencers, as the Lithuania-based organization Debunk.org specializes in analyzing disinformation and Russian…

Credit: Screenshot Senator Mazie Hirono (D-HI) proved once again earlier this week why she is considered arguably the dumbest member of Congress after getting thoroughly humiliated by an anti-woke conservative witness. The Senate Judiciary Subcommittee held a hearing on Wednesday entitled “Ending Illegal DEI Discrimination & Preferences: Enforcing Our Civil Rights Laws.” Multiple witnesses, including Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon, appeared to discuss the blatant unconstitutionality of the racist practice. At one point in the hearing, Hirono tried to entrap Gene Hamilton, the President and co-founder of America First Legal, with a silly gotcha question that blew…

PARIS (AP) – One person has died after attempting to cross the English Channel from a beach in northern France, local authorities said on Saturday, bringing the death toll this year in the perilous waterway to at least 18.

On Friday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “American Agenda,” former Trump Economic Adviser Stephen Moore stated that “inflation is moderate,” and that’s especially true “given the fact that we have these trade deals coming. That will alleviate any higher price pressure from tariffs.” And with the economy, “The main thing is, we’ve got trade deals, we’ve got the big beautiful bill done.” So he is confident in the prospects for the economy regardless of whatever decision the Federal Reserve ends up making on whether or not it lowers interest rates. Moore stated that on the whole, the economy is doing really…

Far-left actor Jeff Daniels says on one hand Donald Trump has created a “loss of civility” in the U.S., but he also hopes that bad things happen to Americans who voted for the president. That is what he revealed in his visit with left-wing MSNBC host Nicole Wallace on her The Best People podcast this week where he lamented the state of politics in the U.S.A. today. Daniels told Wallace how sick at heart he is over the state of political discourse in the U.S. and blamed it all on Donald Trump, saying, “We’ve lost decency. We’ve lost civility. We’ve…

What explains the global double standard on suffering? A timeless lesson in how pity is weaponized – or withheld. As C.S. Lewis famously observed, “Pain is God’s megaphone to rouse a deaf world” – a stark reminder that suffering is often the loudest call for change we cannot afford to forego.Yet, curiously, the world community seems to clearly hear God’s voice from Ukraine, but not from Gaza and Russia.So why does the suffering of Ukrainians tend to stir deeper sorrow and elicit stronger support than the plight of Palestinians and Russians?An ancient source reveals the hidden, mutually reinforcing factors controlling…

Ukraine’s ‘power couple’: Volodymyr Zelensky and Andriy Yermak/ Wiki Commons. Western MSM continues to lambast Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky, even after he backtracked on his own decision on defanging the anti-corruption agencies. And the British Spectator reported on the reason why he made the worst mistake of his political life: to protect his close friend and gray eminence Andriy Yermak. The power behind the throne, Andriy Yermak.
