Walmart CEO Doug McMillon issued the update during an earnings call on Thursday, stating that they will try to keep prices “low as possible,” but the reality is, they are unable to absorb all of the costs due to tariffs. “But given the magnitude of the tariffs, even at the reduced levels announced this week, we aren’t able to absorb all the pressure given the reality of narrow retail margins,” McMillon stated,…
New data shows that homicides in Denver and Aurora, Colorado, have experienced a significant drop in the wake of Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) efforts to take down the Tren de Aragua gang members that had been causing so much chaos in the area. But local Americans are still being killed by President Joe Biden’s migrants, including a 24-year-old woman killed in July of 2024 in Aurora by a 15-year-old reckless illegal-migrant driver.

Their message? The Biden-allied regime in Warsaw, led by left-liberal Prime Minister Donald Tusk, is trampling democracy, persecuting political opponents, and exporting censorship abroad through EU regulations that could stifle American free speech. Signed by Jordan along with Reps. Darrell Issa, Chris Smith, Warren Davidson, and Andy Harris, the four-page letter, addressed to EU Justice Commissioner Michael…
In a world where there are 25 minutes of previews before every movie, here’s why studios pay millions to secure a spot in front of summer’s biggest blockbusters. Anyone going to see Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts* this weekend can expect to watch eight—perhaps even 10—movie trailers before the feature begins. Throw in an ad for popcorn and Nicole Kidman waxing poetic about the power of cinema, and the pre-show lineup can stretch to nearly a half-hour. Even if that can seem like a drag to an audience, those are highly valuable minutes to both the movie studios and the theater chains.…
