For many Americans, inflation has become less an issue debated on Capitol Hill than something felt each weekend at the grocery store. One of the most vivid examples of this was seen in the price of eggs.
At one point, Americans were paying over $6 a dozen for a basic staple that used to be one of the cheapest items in the store. Families weren’t buying luxury goods. They were just trying to make breakfast. And they were getting fleeced.
Now, the Justice Department is preparing an antitrust lawsuit against major egg producers for allegedly coordinating prices through an industry data-sharing system.
The Deep State leaked a CIA Iran war dossier to the Washington Post that refutes Trump’s claims that the Iranian Regime’s missiles are mostly decimated.
On Wednesday, President Trump sparred with a reporter in the Oval Office during a meeting with UFC fighters.
The reporter asked Trump about his decision to pause Project Freedom amid a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump told the reporter that the US military has decimated Iran’s missile capabilities and they probably only have about 18 percent left.
The embarrassingly awful Democrat mayor of Charlotte, N.C., has abruptly announced she is resigning halfway through her term. The move raises speculation as to why. (snip) Perhaps Lyles’s most shameful moment was her reaction to the murder of young Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on the Charlotte Area Transit System subway. (snip) Lyles did not even mention Iryna‘s name in her statement after the murder, nor did she condemn the brutal crime. Instead, she fixated on building up a sob story over the murderer.
The White House is contemplating executive orders on artificial intelligence regulation, but the specifics of the orders are still the subject of active debate, sources close to the administration told The Daily Signal.
The New York Times first reported that the White House is looking into an executive order to create a vetting system for frontier AI models.
The White House has worked on several draft executive orders, but the matter of which proposals make it to the president’s desk is still being debated, sources familiar with the matter said. It is likely that one or more AI executive orders will be signed in the next two weeks.
Ending Gerrymandering
replies
In the debate over redistricting, one truth is too often buried beneath legal jargon and partisan maneuvering: Gerrymandering is, at its core, about voter dilution. It is the quiet engineering of political outcomes, line by line, until communities that should speak with strength are instead reduced to whispers. For decades, one of the most consequential tactics has been "cracking," splitting cohesive communities, often made up of Black voters, across multiple districts so they become a minority everywhere and a majority nowhere. The impact is profound. A population large enough to influence elections can be deliberately dispersed just enough to ensure it never fully does.
We the people of Colorado no longer control our own state constitution. I found this out the hard way. In Colorado, a government for, by, and of the people is a fib. ‘Right to Know’ denied. Over a year-and-a-half of work we crafted a constitutional reform based on what many other states already have, called “Right to Know.” It’s simple: a fundamental right for the people to access public records and government deliberations, with reasonable exceptions. But you won’t see this proposed amendment on your fall ballot. The state Title Board voted 2–1 to block it.
Tuesday, May 5, 2026 - Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman has sent a handwritten letter to the federal court for the Eastern District of New York requesting to be extradited to Mexico to face charges in his home country, in a move that legal experts consider almost unlikely to succeed.
The document, dated April 23 and formally received by the court on May 1, was processed through the Pro Se office of the Brooklyn court, confirming that the drug trafficker acted on his own, without the support or signature of his defense attorneys.
The letter, written in grammatically incorrect English, appeals to concepts of "equity" and argues
Federal agents raided an infamous open-air drug market in Los Angeles, California, Wednesday and seized a massive amount of fentanyl at the residence of one of the arrested individuals.
“Today, we begin reclaiming MacArthur Park from criminals and drug addicts to return this public space to the citizens of Los Angeles,” First Assistant United States Attorney Bill Essayli said in a statement.
“Together with our federal and local law enforcement partners, we are executing multiple arrest and search warrants targeting those who are distributing drugs in and around the park. Formally known as “Operation Free MacArthur Park,” the project led to the arrests of 18 people
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Thursday announced the birth of her second child, a baby girl named Viviana.
Leavitt announced the joyous news in a post on X, sharing details about her growing family.
"On May 1st, Viviana aka "Vivi" joined our family, and our hearts instantly exploded with love," Leavitt wrote. "She is perfect and healthy, and her big brother is joyfully adjusting to life with his new baby sister."
"We are enjoying every moment in our blissful newborn bubble," she continued. "Thank you to everyone who reached out with prayers during my pregnancy - I truly felt them throughout the entire experience. God is Good."

The Biden administration's Food and Drug Administration marginalized a "safety data mining developer" whose updated methodology for COVID-19 vaccine safety surveillance found about 25 "statistically significant safety signals for adverse events" that the FDA's default methodology missed as early as March 2021, a congressional investigation says. [snip] Senior medical officer Ana Szarfman repeatedly showed top officials the proliferation of adverse events including death following COVID vaccination she "unmasked" in the FDA's system, using a new method she developed with the "inventor of the data mining algorithm" supporting the FDA's current system, the report said.
The insurgent Green Party is reportedly investigating dozens of its council candidates for alleged antisemitism as the multicultural-leftist faces having its momentum stalled by scandal. According to a report from the Daily Mail, over 30 Green candidates for local councils are being investigated by their own party amid accusations of widespread antisemitism within the far-left party run by Jewish-heritage London Assembly Member Zack Polanski The issue came to the fore last week after two Green council candidates, Saiqa Ali and Sabine Mairey, were both reportedly arrested on “suspicion of stirring up racial hatred” over alleged antisemitic social media posts.
First, a little background… As you know, we are in the middle of a redistricting battle before this year’s midterm election. Although our Northeast states vote Republican in the 40 percent range, because those states are run by Democrats, there are almost zero Republican House seats because Democrats rig those states by gerrymandering their congressional districts in a way that ensures those 40 percent receive no representation whatsoever. In other words, it’s rigged. This gives Democrats an unfair advantage in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Don’t let them call it a “protest”: It was a riot outside Park East Synagogue on Tuesday night, as a hundred violent thugs with keffiyeh rags tied around their faces battled with the NYPD for hours.
They claimed to be protesting a meeting to promote the sale of West Bank land to Jews; in reality it was purely about moving to Israel — with few brochures that had photos of Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
Despicably, Mayor Zohran Mamdani let the goons know he’s on their side: His spokesman said the mayor was “deeply opposed” to the event promoting the “sale of land” in the West Bank,
As we approach the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding, I want to make sure that we don’t forget the God factor – which is vital in telling the true story of America.
Here are 10 things I think we should all know about America’s founding:
1. God is found in our nation’s early charters and original documents. My good friend Bill Federer even wrote a whole book on this, "The Original 13." Here is one example of those original charters, Virginia: “every plantation which our heavenly Father hath not planted shall be rooted out” (1606, a year before they sailed).
Families hoping to make memories on a cruise were unknowingly surrounded by alleged child predators working aboard the ships, according to law enforcement officials.
US Customs and Border Protection boarded five cruise ships, including a Disney cruise docked in San Diego, between April 23 and 25 as part of ongoing child sexual exploitation material (CSEM) enforcement operations, a CBP spokesperson told The California Post.“After boarding the vessels and interviewing 26 suspected crew members from the Philippines, one suspected crew member from Portugal, and one from Indonesia, [snip] several immigration rights groups were up in arms about the Disney arrests, and also claimed four “seafarers” were arrested on the Holland America

An ex-FBI agent turned provocative podcaster was kicked out of the bureau after he "intentionally" discharged his weapon in an "unsafe manner" on a training range while his instructor was in the line of fire, according to the bureau's incident report obtained by Just the News and congressional testimony that challenges his self-portrayal as a whistleblower who faced retaliation.
[snip just eight weeks after the alleged incident at a New Mexico gun range on April 1, 2022. The incident was deemed so reckless that he was referred to FBI internal affairs, the documents show. Seraphin acknowledged to Just the News in an interview last year that he was "dicking around"

mayor refusing ‘ugly’ new flag: ‘People’s decision’ replies
Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz is facing a new challenge from a Minneapolis-area mayor who is refusing to back down from flying the original 1980s state flag. The mayor said the controversial flag redesign has left citizens out of the process and stuck with what consider an "ugly" replacement. (Snip) The new flag has become a cultural and political flashpoint in a state already reeling from one of the largest fraud scandals in U.S. history, heavily involving the Somali immigrant community. The flag was approved by a 13-member commission created by the Democratic-controlled legislature in 2023. Critics of the flag

Well, Seattle, like New York, has elected a real extremist as mayor. Katie Wilson, a despicable woman who looks as though she could be Abigail Spanberger’s sister, and as though she uses a broom for transportation, has decided to singlehandedly drive Seattle deeper into liberal hell than it already is. Like Spanberger, Wilson is tough to look at. True, neither is physically attractive, but the major reason for that is the smug, nauseating arrogance that they reek of. Both have stomach-turning smirks that cement their place in the despicable hall of fame.
Like Spanberger, Wilson wasted little time instituting the Democrat destruction of the city, and even the liberal rag,
On our tenuous present globe, blasted daily with obdurate ideology, bloody theology, whilst oozing threats against ideological rejection--we desire to intuit the ultimate victor. As earth’s societies race to prepare for conflict, there remains two diverse Easchatons (end times scenarios). It’s East v West, playing out their visions on a colossal chessboard, the outcome seemingly foreshadowed across the most torrid biblical scenarios. So why must they encompass a nuclear end of ages for Shia Islam?
Few know the radical difference between Sunni and Shia Islam, and why the former favors building nuclear weapon as part of their core beliefs. Are Iranian actions shaped by its leadership’s obsession
Earlier this week, we editorialized about the Great Green Grift of the climate hustlers who line their own pockets as well as those of their co-conspirators. Today we dig into the science, which has been repeatedly abused, often abandoned and artfully prostituted to support the global warming racket.
The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has long been treated as always having the first and last word on global warming. Google’s artificial intelligence says it’s “widely regarded as the world’s leading authority on climate science, providing essential, peer-reviewed assessments that inform international policy.”
On March 31st, the U.S. crossed over a financial metric that should scare the heck out of all of us. On that day, our country’s debt exceeded 100% of GDP for only the second time since WWII. We now join debtor nations like Greece, Italy, France, and Canada as horrible stewards of our countries’ economies.
High government borrowing raises the economic risk that interest costs will crowd out investment for everyone and make our system more vulnerable to shocks. The political risk is that it limits policy flexibility and fuels conflict over taxes, spending, and long-term obligations.
High debt may be the single most powerful factor holding young people back from achieving
Not A War Of Choice
replies
Despite the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the Democrat-media complex, the war with Iran is not a war of choice in any practical sense. If anything, the current operations represent the end of the great pretending, since Iran has long been at war with us, keeping their attacks just low enough in intensity or with just enough plausible deniability to allow for the continuance of that pretending.
Iran is the single most committed and least deterrable enemy of the United States, and was developing ever more lethal means to inflict grave harm.
Democrats and their media allies who mostly know better are calling operations against Iran a war of choice
A Democratic lawmaker is drawing backlash after saying she spoke with foreign ambassadors about getting oil to Cuba despite U.S. sanctions, defending the outreach as "literally our right and responsibility."
Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., made the remarks during a recent Seattle briefing following a congressional delegation trip to Cuba, where she discussed the island’s worsening fuel shortages and U.S. policy toward the communist regime.
"I was in conversations with the ambassadors from Mexico and some other places … trying to figure out how to get oil there," Jayapal said during the briefing, calling the situation on the island "a crisis beyond imagination." Jayapal said the event was
A new proposal in Congress would allow seniors to work in order to make ends meet without fear of losing their Social Security benefits.
The “Senior Citizens’ Freedom to Work Act” would nix the Retirement Earnings Test, under which Social Security recipients lose benefits if they claim early retirement and continue earning above a particular threshold.
The bill was introduced by Rep. Greg Murphy, a Republican from North Carolina, according to an April 16 release from his office. Florida Republican Sen. Rick Scott introduced a companion bill.
“American seniors’ ability to earn income and enjoy the dignity of work should not be penalized by arbitrary parameters to receive Social Security
