Media not only misled the public but may have delayed needed policy shifts, like Fed rate cuts. Americans deserve transparency, not gaslighting. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) delivered a body blow to the corporate media industrial complex’s narrative of a robust Biden economy. In its preliminary benchmark revision, the agency slashed its estimate...
The OODA Loop has been a key advantage for Ukraine. When Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, many experts predicted Kyiv’s quick fall. When Ukraine pushed back overextended Russian forces, the same experts confidently said that Russia’s mass — a population almost four times larger than Ukraine — would certainly grind Ukraine down. Triumph for Putin was...

On crime and homelessness, he’s turned spin into a full-time job. In part two of our look at Shawn Ryan’s marathon mid-July podcast with...
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has lost residents to other states. When pressed about it, Newsom tries to defend himself and provides his side of the story, but what he says overlooks important context. In part one of our look at Shawn Ryan’s marathon mid-July podcast with Newsom, we provide that context. A fellow former Californian...

It’s illuminating when politicians speak the truth accidentally, letting voters know what they only say in private to their colleagues or big donors. A video recently resurfaced of New York Democratic Rep. Yvette Clarke saying that her Brooklyn district could “absorb a significant number of these (Haitian) migrants,” because, she continued, “I need more people...
‘Ignoring the extant realities of energy will render students unprepared for making sensible decisions, whether in the public or private sector.’ Some 60 percent of youth attend college after high school, some of them destined for leadership roles.
