Every day, we’re told America is more divided than ever.

When you look beyond the headlines and study what Americans actually believe, a different picture emerges. On issue after issue, overwhelming majorities agree on common sense policies that strengthen our country, protect our freedoms, and create greater opportunity.

Notice how Nithya Raman just completely disappeared after they blocked us out of the general election?

She's not campaigning at all. Like a pickpocket disappearing into the crowd. Just a ghost. I told you her campaign was a scam. Colluding with Bass from the start.

Bill Maher says you have to realize the reality “of the other side,” of Islam

“I mean, there's a woman, Parastoo Ahmadi, she is Iranian, she got 74 lashes — 74 lashes, 'cause she sang. She's a singer, she sang without a headscarf on. So let's not forget who the other side is”

There are many Muslim countries where women will face extreme punishment for not wearing their headscarf and singing

- Afghanistan women will be thrown in prison
- Iran they’ll also go to prison
- Saudi Arabia will send the morality police out to enforce punishments
- Somalia and Nigeria will both enforce extreme punishments

This is what Democrats are siding with

Take note.
This is the proper response when someone passes away, whether you agreed with them politically or not. There are some truly disturbed individuals in this country.

🚨 HEARTBREAKING HORROR 🚨
DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin just exposed the pure evil: Innocent children trafficked across the open border were RAPED 600 TO 700 TIMES — locked in rooms, forced to service monsters day after day.
THEY ARE BABIES. THEY DON’T DESERVE THIS. NO CHILD DOES.
“We found 146,000 kids so far… but nearly 300,000 are STILL MISSING.”
I don’t care if you’re liberal, conservative, or anywhere in between — if you can’t stand up and scream SAVE OUR CHILDREN, who the hell are you?!
This is not politics. This is a national emergency. These kids are suffering in the shadows while too many look away.
ENOUGH. Share this. Demand action. Demand every missing child be found. Demand justice for the innocent.
#SaveTheChildren #ProtectOurKids #EndTheHorror
Repost if you have a soul. These babies need us NOW. 💔🙏

They went to a concert.
They never came home.

High school sweethearts.
Eighteen and nineteen.

July 20, 2025.
Interstate 90, Wisconsin.

Driving home.
He in the passenger seat.
She behind the wheel.

A massive SUV came at them the wrong way.

Head-on.

She died at the scene.
He was airlifted.
He fought for five days.
Then he died too.

Now here is the part that should make your hands shake.

The driver was in this country illegally.
Convicted of drunk driving in 2020.
A court ordered an ignition interlock —
a device that stops the car if you have been drinking.

She never installed it.
She drove anyway.
She drove the wrong way.
She drove drunk.

Read that again.

Convicted.
Ordered.
Ignored.
Released.
Killed.

Federal immigration asked the local jail to hold her if she posted bond.
The county refused.
Sanctuary policy.

Two teenagers who did everything right.
Two futures erased on one highway.

They should be arguing about the encore.
They should be starting college this fall.

A court order is not a suggestion.
A border is not a suggestion.
A life is not a suggestion.

🚨 JAPANESE GOVERNMENT AND BOJ ARE NOW WORKING AGAINST EACH OTHER.

Today Katayama said Japan wants GPIF, its $1.5 trillion public pension fund and the largest in the world, along with other public funds, to increase investment in domestic Japanese assets.

GPIF currently holds close to 50% of its portfolio in foreign stocks and bonds. Even a small shift back toward Japan pulls real money out of US treasuries and US equities and redirects it home.

A fund that size moving even a few percentage points can move global bond markets on its own.

Japan's PPI just came in at 7.1% year over year, above the 6.8% forecast and up from 6.3% the month before. This data just came in today. Inflation accelerating and a major pension fund preparing to buy more domestic bonds should both push Japanese yields higher.

Instead, the 10-year JGB fell 10 basis points to 2.775%, and the 20-year fell 10 basis points to 3.765%.

This comes only months after Japan's actual bond crisis in January 2026, when the 40-year JGB yield broke above 4% for the first time, driven by fiscal expansion promises from the government during an election cycle.

That crash is the reason yields are still this sensitive to every new signal out of Tokyo.

Underneath all of it, the BOJ has been shrinking its own balance sheet, down roughly $502 billion from its 2024 peak, now near $4.33 trillion, as it pulls back from the bond buying that kept yields artificially low for over a decade.

Less BOJ buying means the market has to absorb more JGB supply on its own, right as the government plans to issue more debt.

That is where the new tax plan fits in.

Japan is planning to cut its food consumption tax from 8% to 1% starting April 2027. The remaining 1%, close to ¥600 billion a year, gets redistributed as direct cash payments to lower income households.

A bigger tax credit system is scheduled for 2029, with parts possibly moving up to autumn 2027. Every one of those steps means more government spending funded by more bond issuance, landing at the exact moment the BOJ is stepping back from being the buyer of last resort.

Rate hikes are supposed to slow the economy and support the yen. Tax cuts and cash handouts speed it back up.

The BOJ has rates projected near 1.5% by 2027, the highest in decades, while the government spends more, at the same time the central bank is buying fewer bonds than it has in years.

The yen carry trade, where global funds borrow cheap yen to buy higher yielding assets abroad, is still estimated at $4 to $8 trillion.

Japan spent $72 to $73 billion defending the yen earlier this year, and USD/JPY still hit 162, a 40-year high.

In August 2024, a BOJ hike of just 0.15% triggered a rapid carry unwind.

The Nikkei fell over 12% in a single session, and Bitcoin dropped from around $65,000 to under $50,000 in less than a week, purely from leveraged yen positions getting margin called at once.

Japan is now tightening policy, shrinking its balance sheet, and expanding fiscal spending, all at the same time, this has never happened before.

Toward the end of 2025, Google quietly flipped the switch on new AI tools across Gmail, Chat, and Meet for a lot of people.

Those tools can scan your emails, chats, and even attachments to generate summaries and proposed replies.

Google insists Gemini isn’t trained on your email content, but many users argue they never gave clear, informed consent for these features to be enabled in the first place.

And if you don’t disable them yourself, the AI may continue sifting through your inbox to keep those conveniences running.

Zohran Mamdani wants to ERASE Italian Americans.

First, he denied our permit for Unity Day 2026.

Now, he is excluding Little Italy as a recognized location all together on the map.
