Tough night for Auburn, but I had a blast at the game reconnecting with old friends and making a whole lot of new ones.

Thank you so very much to all of the wonderful, kind souls who came up to say hello. There’s truly nothing comparable to Southern hospitality, and this New York-born Yankee is honored that you all have taken me in as one of your own.

It’s another reminder of just how much good there is out there in the REAL world.

God bless the great state of Alabama, God bless the South, and God bless America—and all those who defend Her. WDE 🦅 🇺🇸

I back Robert Kraft banning Macklemore from performing at Gillette 1000% and thank him for having a spine when many others in his shoes don’t.

If Israel really wanted to cause a Genocide in Gaza, they could have done it in 2 hours. Instead, they painstakingly did MORE to avoid civilian casualties than ANY country in ANY War ever has done.

The AI Armageddon, like the climate hoax, is an election year Democratic ruse. Luddites are bad enough, but left-wing election year luddites are even worse. Ignore them.

The prevailing view of so much of the young left in America is that we’re the worst country ever, so if someone attacks us, they can’t be all bad.

This was the most powerful speech yet from the RNC, maybe of the entire year. RFK Jr. was masterful.

Worth watching every word.

[Peter Navarro @RealPNavarro]

🧵 This may be one of the most important media stories you’ll ever see. Too many conservatives assume Fox News speaks for Trump and MAGA.

It does not.

The Maria Bartiromo story, and what happened after President Trump’s July 16 address, shows you exactly how the Fox censorship machine works.

@MariaBartiromo @MariaBartiromo you were last bastion of hope I had for any network news.I dropped fox when the fix was in 2020. Your professionalism , objectivity and knowledge shone through in every interview. I pray that you find a place that values you & allows you to report the actual news

[Peter Navarro @RealPNavarro]

The muzzling of Maria Bartiromo by Fox News Media Chief Executive Suzanne Scott should be a wake-up call to every Fox viewer who believes the network is pro-Trump and pro-MAGA.

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

We believe the AI debt boom is now driving Treasury yields higher.

Combined bond issuance from Big Tech firms, including their Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs), is expected to surge to a record $320 billion this year.

This would mark a +$120 billion YoY increase, or +60%.

As a % of Treasury bond issuance, this is estimated to rise to a record ~70%.

This would be more than double the 30% recorded in 2025 and nearly 9x larger than 2024 levels.

In other words, Big Tech is now emerging as a serious competitor to the US government in the long-term debt market, increasingly competing for the same pool of buyers just as investors are demanding more compensation to hold this debt.

Big Tech debt is increasingly competing with US Treasuries for investor capital.

Why don't young College educated kids love our country? Because we've taught them how bad America is! It's time to change all that!

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 JUST IN: JD Vance calls Tucker Carlson his friend, refuses to "throw him under the bus," but says Tucker is WRONG in many of his attacks on Donald Trump

"Tucker is a friend of mine."

"I'm not gonna play the game where I throw friends under the bus because I have political disagreements!"

"He's said some things about POTUS that are just WRONG...he would support El Sayed over Mike Rogers. El Sayed is a crazy person."

"I remember when I became the vice presidential nominee, one of the hardest things for me personally is not when people attacked me, but when people attacked my wife, including friends of hers who knew her heart, who knew what a good person she was."

"And I remember thinking to myself, what a travesty it is that in the United States of America, we let political disagreements define who our friends are going to be and not going to be."

🔥 Wow. Sec. Scott Bessent just dropped this and it goes HARD:

"The snake doesn't know it's dead yet — but it will stop wiggling when the sun goes down."

"Iran reminds me of, when I was a kid in South Carolina...we ended up with poison snakes in our yard. You'd [cut] the head off — but the tail kept wiggling..."

"YOU HAVE TO BURY THE HEAD OF THE SNAKE."

"We are burying the head of the Iranian snake."

"The Iranian regime — they are demised. And they will figure it out."

[James E. Thorne @DrJStrategy]

Bessent’s Inflation Reality Check

Secretary Bessent states the case plainly: Biden, Yellen, Brainard and, to a lesser extent, Powell, embraced a spending binge without precedent.

The self-styled bond vigilantes were conspicuously silent during the progressive experiment with MMT and the Keynesian conceit that deficits do not matter.

Deficits matter, next time the bond vigilantes complain about the long end of the yield curve tell them to blame Biden and Yellen.

Democrats left Americans with 21.5% cumulative inflation under Biden. An MIT study attributes nearly half of that surge to excessive fiscal spending.

The inflationary root cause was a reckless fiscal blowout, not tariffs or one-off supply shocks, which alter relative prices rather than generate sustained inflation.

Raising rates into a supply shock suppresses demand but cannot create energy, chips, or shipping capacity.

Bessent understands the distinction: with core inflation tame, the rate-hike chorus is fighting yesterday’s war.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! DHS Sec. Markwayne Mullin just got FIRED UP at a Fake News reporter saying "only 1%" of CDL drivers are illegal, so why should he care

*Gestures at victim of an illegal driver crash*: "Are you willing to take that one percent if it was YOUR DAUGHTER?!"

"You saying 1% is OK? That 1 percent CAUSED THIS RIGHT HERE."

"EVERY SINGLE ILLEGAL that maims or k*lls an individual is 100% PERCENT PREVENTABLE."

"I don't care if it's a FRACTION of 1%! I'm coming after you and removing you from the road because it should NEVER take place."

"Then 1% is PLENTY, John! A FRACTION of 1% is plenty. 0.1% OF 1% IS TOO MANY!"

"They should never be out there."

"I look at this as I'm trying to keep my six kids safe on the road when they're out there driving, and my one grandchild while they're riding with their parents."

"IT'S ALL PREVENTABLE."

"FULL STOP."

The reporter is shook!

💯💯

.@SecScottBessent absolutely TORCHES Canada:

"Very unfortunate that PM Carney has turned this into a political shouting match. I mean, we're not at war with Canada... What are they going to do — take their two submarines from the Edmonton Mall and sic them on us?"
