As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.

This is why so many in Gen Z don’t believe homeownership is part of their American Dream. They saw their parents lose homes in record numbers during the Great Recession.

Kevin Hassett just lies out his ass on Maria Bartiromo's show: "It's the highest priority of the president and economic team to get people in there who are gonna play it straight with the data but also be super transparent with how they do that so everybody once again has faith in the numbers."

There was no "missing minute" in the original Epstein jail video, government source says FBI officials promised raw, unaltered video to quell speculation about Epstein's suicide.

I think people are misinterpreting this wonky headline. The bombshell story CBS is reporting is that the Epstein jail tape the public got IS missing time and the FULL video exists. The FBI and DOJ have it. So when Bondi said the missing minute is normal, she lied. www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey...

CBS will be ending Stephen Colbert's run as host of The Late Show, days after he criticized parent company Paramount's $16 million payment to Trump. Here's why the Left has a censorship problem.

PAY ATTENTION: Stephen Colbert dragged Paramount for cutting a $16M check to Trumpβ€”and THREE DAYS LATER, CBS canceled The Late Show.

You’re telling me that’s a coincidence?

This smells like corporate bribery and media censorship in real time.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

It doesn't have to be this way.

House Strips PBS, NPR of Funds as Trump Vows More DOGE Bills A half century of US federal funding for public television and radio came crashing to an end as the House approved a $9 billion package of spending cuts inspired by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency task force.

US House gives final approval to a measure that fulfills a longtime wish of many conservatives: ending government support for public television and radio.

CBS pulling the plug on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert well before the Midterms is probably just a wild coincidence.

Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein's most prominent abuse survivors, dies by suicide Other Epstein victims credited Giuffre with giving them the courage to speak out.

A reminder that after years of speaking out against Epstein and giving other survivors the courage to come forward, Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre died by suicide in April at the age of 41.

Let's not forget that there are real human tragedies behind everything we're discussing.

They’re Skipping Car Payments; That’s The Final Warning Sign Auto loan delinquencies just hit a 15-year high. Consumers are skipping car payments, signaling deeper financial stress. Markets haven’t priced it in yet.

Tock tock, tick tock, tick tock.

No new money, same old bills and an economy on a slide on purpose, while prices rise.

Tick tock.
