Congress, all Americans to address nearly
$40T national debt replies
Former U.S. Comptroller General David Walker is joining the call for President Trump, Congress – and essentially all Americans – to reign in the national debt that is now nearing $40 trillion, saying its creating an inevitable collapse of the U.S. economy that will ultimately lead to a global depression.
"One of the things that we clearly have to have is we need a constitutional amendment, because only a constitutional amendment can bind the Congress to return to fiscal sanity and sustainability," Walker said last week on the Just the News, No Noise TV show.

and fumbled fixes replies
Mark Twain once turned the premature report of his death in the 1890s into one of history’s greatest quips, but at the Social Security Administration the mistaken reporting of American’s deaths is no laughing matter.
The agency’s internal watchdog sharply rebuked SSA workers for mistakenly reporting that 12,054 Americans had died in 2025 who actually didn’t, then failing to follow the proper procedures in repairing the damage far too often.
While the mistaken death reports were a small fraction (0.22%) of the 5.6 million deaths SSA reported last year, the number of errant deaths that weren’t properly rectified was alarmingly high at 45%, the Office of Inspector General reported last week.

new Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas working paper estimates the record surge in illegal immigration during the Biden administration boosted employment while causing 30% of home price increases and 20% of rent increases.
The paper combined immigration court records with government administrative data to create the first ever calculation of how a wave of 7 million illegal immigrants from 2021 through 2024 affected local labor and housing markets.
"From early 2021 to early 2024, the U.S. experienced an unprecedented boom in unauthorized immigration, followed by a rapid slowdown beginning in mid-2024.

Act 'one more time' in hope that Senate
will cooperate replies
Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said on Sunday that he will attempt to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE America) Act “one more time” in the House through a budget reconciliation bill.
“The president has that as a top priority, and so do I,” Johnson said on Fox News Sunday. “We passed it three times in the House. We’re going to try one more time on a budget reconciliation bill, and I think that will be the way to get it through the Senate, and finally,to the president’s desk.”
Johnson said the House version of the bill contains the “backbone” of what President Donald Trump is looking —
The Taqiyya Communists

We’ve been assured that the Democratic Socialists of America, who have been winning primary elections and commanding rave reviews from the press, are not communists. Don’t believe the lie. They’re concealing who they are to appeal to low-information voters. Eventually, their masks will come off.
The Democratic socialists are dissembling much the same way that Islamists use taqiyya, a doctrine of duplicity, to cover their fundamentalist beliefs so they can fit in with the West. France 24, the state-owned news outlet, characterized taqiyya in a headline as “the terrorist ‘art of deception.'”
Terrorist sleeper cells have taken “the path of taqiyya,” says French anti-terrorism judge Marc Trévidic,
The recent release of Pastor Ezra Jin Mingri from Chinese custody marks a notable development in the long struggle for basic freedoms under Beijing's rule. Jin, founder of Beijing's influential Zion Church, spent nearly nine months detained after a sweeping crackdown on unregistered Christian congregations last October.His arrival in the United States over the July 4th Independence Day weekend, just weeks after President Trump raised the matter directly with Xi Jinping during talks in Beijing, underscores a practical, results-oriented approach to advancing American interests and values abroad. For a man escaping the grip of an authoritarian regime,
As we've been reporting, most Americans are all-in, celebrating and enjoying America 250. We recognize the great gift we have been given with this nation and the principles it espouses. But even as celebrations are ongoing, you see folks on the left going all-in to attack it because of their Trump hatred or their hatred of America in general. We saw the Mayor of New York City deliver an ugly speech, for example. That was taken down with pointed responses from people like Elon Musk and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. But if there was a real sign of how far the Democrats have gone off the leftist cliff,
Here’s hoping you had a safe and celebratory July 4th. Thanks for joining our study on this 250-plus-one-day.
Today, I am honored to write about God’s Word in the Declaration of Independence. Our Founding Fathers recognized the importance of “Divine Providence,” and the United States was born and still stands, with “In God We Trust” on all our coins and paper money. For the record, “In God We Trust” was added to coinage in 1864 during the Civil War and first appeared on paper currency in 1957.
“Turning to something much more serious that happened yesterday,” Bash said as if the demonstration was a deadly massacre, “several 100 masked men belonging to the white nationalist group, the Patriot Front, marched with Confederate flags, and they did it through neighborhoods in the US Capitol, at least near the Capitol, and they chanted ‘Reclaim America.'”
“There’s a widely circulated photograph, I’m sure you’ve seen it, taken by Reuters of an African American woman on a subway surrounded by members of this group. Are you concerned about this?” she continued.
In the roughly two weeks since the New York primary elections, conservatives—and other normies—have been understandably upset about the prospects of a socialist surge in American politics. Three candidates endorsed by New York City’s socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani won their congressional primaries easily, while Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)-aligned candidates around the state did quite well. In short, June 23 was a good day for socialists throughout the country, leaving many observers wondering if this will be a new date that lives in infamy, the date that marks the official start of the socialist-led collapse of the world’s quintessential capitalist, democratic republic.
federal appeals court has cleared the way for the Trump administration to replace informational panels at the slavery exhibit at the President’s House in Philadelphia. The decision is a legal victory for the administration as it moves to restore how the nation’s history is presented at federal historic sites.
The court issued a mandate Friday finalizing its June 18 ruling, allowing the Interior Department to move forward with replacing the exhibit panels at the President’s House, the nation’s first executive mansion, where President George Washington enslaved nine men and women.
The Interior Department sought immediate implementation of the ruling in a motion filed Thursday.
“The President’s House is an important national historical site,
The damning report into failings in police leadership said bosses must be “resolute” in “refusing to take sides” and not be diverted from “focusing entirely on the prevention, detection and prosecution of crime”.
Amid renewed scrutiny over ‘two-tier policing‘, police leaders are accused of “preferencing certain groups” in the review, which is one of the most thorough examinations of the force ever undertaken.
Lord Blunkett, the former Labour home secretary who co-chaired the report, said there was “no room for culture wars or woke” causes in policing. “The idea that people should be diverted onto other issues is entirely wrong,” he said.
The gun control lobby isn't going away, but they have been dealt a serious setback in recent weeks thanks to the Supreme Court's decisions in Hemani and Wolford.Some anti-gunners are putting on a brave face, while others are simply deluding their followers in the hopes of staving off depression and disengagement. Everytown Law's Janet Carter, for instance, is basically insisting that Wolford wasn't a big loss for the gun controllers... and in fact was a disappointment to 2A advocates."I don't think that the gun lobby got what they wanted [in Wolford]."
Well, in a way she's right. We got everything we wanted and then some.
A truck driver with no legal right to be in the country, let alone behind the wheel of an 18-wheeler, killed Pennsylvania State Trooper Michael E. Pahira Jr. Wednesday morning while he was doing his job.Pahira, 44, had served with the Pennsylvania State Police since 2007, most recently as a motor carrier enforcement inspector. He was inspecting a semi-truck on Interstate 81 in Schuylkill County when another truck ran off the road, slammed into his patrol car and the vehicle he was checking, then struck him directly. Both trucks erupted in flames. Pahira died at a local hospital a short time later.
How do you identify hatred? When one party acts against its interests out of pure loathing of the other.
The WNBA is celebrating 30 years of doing something. Making money is definitely not part of that something. It started out losing $10 million a year but has since raised its annual losses to $40 million over the past few seasons. The NBA owns 40 percent of the league, apparently as a penance for the flopping of LeBron and other stars. The women’s league put out a poster of “stars” for 30 years of sports mediocrity. Caitlin Clark, the one player who gets fans into the stands,
Since Ohio voted for President Donald Trump in 2016, 2020, and again in 2024, the battleground state has highlighted the impact of white, non-college voters who have overwhelmingly supported the GOP in recent election cycles.
Working-class voters remain strongly aligned with conservatives in Ohio, but white college-educated voters have also swung toward the right since 2024 and could help Republicans fend off a Democrat attack in the contentious U.S. Senate race this November.Despite President Trump beating Kamala Harris in Ohio by over 11 percentage points in 2024, white college-educated voters shied away from the GOP. President Trump narrowly lost white college-educated voters by three points,
U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra appears for an interview on CBC News to share perspectives on U.S-Canada relations. However, what happens within the interview is a case study on how Canadian media represent an extension of the Canadian government.
This example is exactly why the Canadian people have no reference point for information counter to the official propaganda policy from their government offices. Rebecca Zandbergen, host of CBC’s Ottawa Morning represents the voice of government in combative tone, condescending attitude and refusal to accept counter arguments.
The level of passive-aggressive condescension highlights why Canada has continued to lose position in a world where pretending has become devalued. However,

New Yorkers can’t catch a break.
Treacherous downpours and severe flash flooding are expected to snarl morning and evening commutes across the Big Apple on Monday — after a weekend of miserable, scorching temperatures and intense thunderstorms.Multiple rounds of thunderstorms and torrential downpours are predicted to drench the five boroughs in up to two inches of rain per hour starting Sunday evening, according to the National Weather Service.
The worst of the heavy rain and flash flooding is expected to slam Monday’s morning commute between 4 a.m. and 10 a.m., though scattered thunderstorms could still cause localized flash flooding into Monday evening.A flood watch will be in effect until Tuesday morning,
This year has seen socialists make their furthest inroads into “mainstream” American politics than any time since the early 20th century.
Even though this is clearly a phenomenon manifesting itself within the Democrat Party, more than a few media commentators have incorrectly attempted to tie this socialist red wave to President Donald Trump.
A recent editorial in the Wall Street Journal titled, “Trump Opened the Window for the DSA,” argued essentially that Trump is just so mean and awful, he’s caused so much derangement on the Left, that they decided to embrace communism to stop him.
On Saturday, Americans celebrated the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding. Shockingly, according to a detailed new report from the White House’s Domestic Policy Council, the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History (NMAH) did not.
The report, titled “Saving America’s Story: How Ideological Capture at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History Erases Our Heritage,” was released Saturday night during America 250 commemorations. It concludes the museum has been captured by “radical, activist ideology that is fundamentally opposed to telling the noble, honest story of the great country we know and love.”
The Mamdani administration is scrambling to ease concerns about its plans to open government-owned supermarkets — but recent talks have instead raised even greater alarms among local business owners, The Post has learned.
New York City bodega owners came to City Hall last week for a “roundtable discussion” at the invitation of Julie Su, deputy mayor for economic justice — only to get barraged with “intrusive” questions about their businesses, a source close to the situation said.
Ahead of the meeting last Monday — attended by reps from city agencies and trade groups for the city’s 13,000 bodegas — Su asked the group in a questionnaire,

and net zero policies are to blame, analysis shows replies
Proponents of renewable energy often claim that wind and solar are the cheapest forms of energy and will drive down electricity rates. However, electricity costs continue to rise faster than inflation, with no sign the trend is reversing, even as the amount of wind and solar grows in the grid.
Last December, the Always On Energy Research and the Institute for Energy Research completed an analysis of electricity rates and found that residents of blue states see higher electricity bills than those of red states.
Using data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the analysis found that 86% of states —

to social media, 'sweeping' search warrant
for Trump ally replies
The Freedom of Information Act doesn't apply to records related to the FBI's payments to social media companies to allegedly induce them to censor lawful speech at odds with the Biden administration's preferences, according to the Trump administration.
A federal judge slapped down by his appeals court for "abuse of discretion" — continuing a contempt investigation of the Trump administration related to its deportation flights — saw nothing wrong with secretly authorizing the Biden administration to pore over the whole digital life of President Trump's friend and former adviser.
Most of the left, including virtually every corporate media “journalist” who publishes news and opinion pieces about politics, hold the nation’s founding fathers in low regard. The public is daily subjected to screeds enumerating the faults of Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Hamilton, Franklin, et al. Yet, when these scribblers wish to justify some pernicious Democrat policy proposal, they frequently rummage through the writings of these men for some quote “proving” that its author would have supported the latest bone-headed boondoggle. A classic example is “Benjamin Franklin, Champion of the Wealth Tax,” by Harold Meyerson at the American Prospect.
