Every day, it seems, brings more negative news about the economy and the situation of the average American family’s finances. Americans are stuck between a rock and a hard place as the Fed continues to tighten monetary policy despite persistently high inflation. The upcoming recession may make 2008 seem like a picnic in comparison. So it’s not surprising that more and more people in the United States are adopting measures to improve their financial stability. Those who value the security of their savings are among those eager to acquire gold. They’re anticipating bad things, and they’re not happy about it.…

Two issues brought before the Supreme Court on Monday deal with the question of whether or not famous universities can use racial advantages in their admissions practices. After the Court agreed to hear the cases, conservatives demanded a stop to “affirmative action” programs that they said, hurt students. Example: Harvard’s use of racial preferences in admissions has drastically skewed the likelihood of acceptance for students of different races, favoring some at the expense of others in a way that eradicated merit as a standard for admission and stripped students of an equal opportunity to attend schools that use such standards.…
Connecticut Democrat Senator Chris Murphy has demanded a probe into Twitter in light of the fact that a Saudi Arabian corporation with ties to the country’s royal family has become the company’s second-largest shareholder. According to a statement made by the royal last week, Kingdom Holding Company and the private investment office of Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal control roughly 35 million shares in Twitter, notwithstanding Elon Musk’s acquisition of the social media network. Murphy has requested that the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States investigate the possible involvement of Saudi Arabia in the website’s future under new ownership,…
Just two weeks before the midterm elections on November 8, Musk took control of Twitter. Last week, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk shocked the world by purchasing Twitter, sparking a broader discourse among voters about how Musk’s ownership of the powerful platform may affect the 2018 U.S. midterm elections. Fox News Digital polled political experts on whether they think Musk’s recent acquisition of the social media platform is the October surprise many Americans have been waiting for in an effort to learn more about the potential influence of Musk’s Twitter takeover on the upcoming elections. Numerous presidential and midterm elections in…
Spencer broke the news yesterday, but it seems like a nasty home invasion occurred at the Pelosi mansion. A naked guy armed with hammers broke into Nancy Pelosi’s home and attacked her husband, Paul. This summer, Mr. Pelosi’s arrest for DUI made national headlines. Mrs. Pelosi was in Washington at the time of the attack, and the suspect, 42-year-old David DePape, reportedly asked where she was. However, Mr. Pelosi’s assault was severe enough to require emergency skull surgery. He will likely make a full recovery. Thanks to a fortunate ending, no lives were lost in this terrifying event. The home…
Once again, YouTube has banned conservative activist and comedian Steven Crowder, this time with a “hard strike” and a two-week restriction on live-streaming and posting any video before the pivotal midterm elections. The authorities of YouTube have regularly deleted Crowder’s videos without providing a reason. This had happened before. Crowder was given a vague warning by YouTube, claiming his movie depicting Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter broke their “harassment, threats, and cyberbullying” policy. The Daily Wire tried to contact YouTube to find out more about the suspension and strike, as well as the company’s relationship with its artists and whether…

Rick Scott, who also serves as chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, declared that his party will gain control of the Senate. On CNN’s “State of the Union,” Scott outlined the specific areas where he sees Republican victories. “Over fifty-two will be the final tally. In Georgia, Herschel Walker will be victorious.

The Washington Post noted that Democrats are worried about a dramatic realignment in usually liberal Miami-Dade County toward the Republican Party. The liberal daily emphasized that support for Democratic candidates is dwindling in Florida’s most populated county, notably for the Democratic contender for governor, Rep. Charlie Crist (D-FL), who is well behind Republican incumbent Gov. Ron DeSantis in the polls. Noel Chavez, a 49-year-old independent voter in the county, told the Post that he will vote for both DeSantis and incumbent Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) in this year’s election cycle, with inflation and the economy being his primary concerns. I…
An ethical group has filed a lawsuit against the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) under the Biden administration, alleging that it concealed information about the scarcity of infant formula. An August Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request from The Functional Government Initiative seeking FTC information related to its probe into the nationwide shortage was allegedly disregarded. FGI believes that FTC officials and personnel discussed and participated in making judgments concerning the investigation into the baby formula problem and then carried those decisions out. The complaint claims that “the public does not have an ability to simply review the decision-making surrounding the…
In response to President Joe Biden’s recent statements on his signature legislation, the Inflation Reduction Act, Twitter users were urged to study the entire text of the law. President Joe Biden has been campaigning throughout the country for Democratic candidates in the last days leading up to the midterm elections, using social media to attack Republicans as “ultra-MAGA fanatics” or to brag about his own achievements. By Friday, Twitter had decided that Biden had gone too far and had to be banned. The next year, in 2020, President Joe Biden tweeted, “Let me give you the facts,” referencing the $55…
On Saturday, a heckler disrupted former President Barack Obama’s address in Michigan, where he was campaigning for Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer. Obama’s visit to Michigan was part of a last-ditch effort to shore up support for down-ballot Democrats everywhere. The footage of Obama’s address does not show what the heckler really yelled, but it was obviously enough to grab the former president’s attention. Obama said, “Come on,” as he stopped speaking for more than two minutes to silence the heckler. Now, let me explain what I mean. Okay, so this is what I’m talking about. Obama added, “I mean, we’re…
On Tuesday, Mansfield Energy, a fuel delivery firm, warned that diesel shortages were imminent in the Northeast and Southeast. Bloomberg found that while the country’s distillate fuel stocks are at their lowest point since 2008, the four-week average of distillates supplied, a proxy for demand, surged to its highest seasonal level since 2007. According to a press statement from Mansfield, prices have increased much more rapidly than previously reported. As a result of a combination of low diesel stockpiles and unfavorable pipeline transportation economics, some Southeast markets are experiencing shortages. These have been “happening here and there, with locations like…
The Republican outlook for the future looks like this. This is the promised future that has been advocated for on the news. That’s why they’re so pumped about Twitter’s new ruler. This level of violence has been their intended goal all along. Mystal warned that things would worsen if the opposing party were to win. If memory serves, however, it was Democrats who stoked the flames of violence and anger during the 2020 demonstrations. Their hands are stained with blood. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) responded to Mystal’s outlandish statements by blaming Fox News for inciting violence. AOC wrote, “Or maybe…

CenterLink, a pro-LGBT group that operates a highly sexual chat service for adolescents, received funding from ActBlue, the Democratic Party’s principal donation platform. CenterLink reports that ActBlue donated between $1,500 and $5,000 in 2020. QChat Space is an online sex chat aimed at people as young as 13 who identify as LGBT.

On Friday night, during a rally in Georgia, Republican Senate contender Herschel Walker addressed criticisms leveled at him by former President Barack Obama. Walker, a first-time Senate candidate and a well-known football star was the target of Obama’s criticism at a speech delivered from the Gateway Center Arena in College Park. Obama called Walker “a celebrity who wants to be a politician.” “Former President Obama was a guest last night. What he meant was that I’m famous. He’s probably mistaken about it. I’m not some famous person; I fight for the Lord. Another thing he misunderstood. Just two years ago,…
