  • Both Mexico and Canada have caved to Trump’s demands in the face of tariffs, though China still seems to think they have something to prove. 
  • Venezuela has agreed to accept its illegals, but Trump has now rounded up so many that the ICE detention facilities are out of beds. Thousands of criminals will be released with ankle monitors – a chilling prospect!
  • Trump wants to USA to take over Gaza. I say we avoid that particular money pit, give more support to Israel, and just let them exterminate Hamas once and for all like the cockroaches they are.
  • Anyone complaining about Trump pausing federal grants needs to hear these ridiculous things the taxpayers are already paying for before they say another word.
  • Articulate, straight-talking Karoline Leavitt is the best person we’ve had in the role of White House Press Secretary for a long time. Another great pick by Trump!
  • Pam Bondi was approved as Attorney General, but the only non-GOP senator to vote for her was Fetterman. If we’re going to bring the country together, why would more Democrats not cross the aisle a little to vote for this outstanding candidate? 
  • The post office stopped accepting packages from China for only a day before changing their mind, without considering the economic implications of their actions. 
  • My guest this week, Sameer Somal, is a fascinating entrepreneur and a leader in the financial and digital marketing industries. He sat down with me to talk about what it means to be a CFA Charterholder, as well as his companies Blue Ocean Global Technology and Girl Power Talk.
  • SCOTUS has handed the Environmental Protection Agency its 3rd recent major defeat by temporarily blocking the Good Neighbor rule, which applies when one state is adding to the pollution in another.
  • The Supreme Court found that ordinances that ban sleeping in public are allowed, and do not violate the 8th Amendment.
  • A handful of liberal governors are already calling for resistance to the planned mass deportations. This would be a crime, and I call on the new justice department to arrest anyone who gets in the way of Tom Homan doing his job.
  • Next year, we will spend more money servicing our national debt that we will on our military. This is an outrageous, unsustainable situation, and every single politician we’ve elected should be held accountable for it.
  • A recent audit showed that more than 800 IRS employees owe millions of dollars in back taxes – and only some of the employees who “willfully evaded” their taxes were removed from their position!
  • I am generally against mergers because they stifle competition and innovation – but sometimes, they make sense. So, of course the entirely practical merger between Spirit Airlines and JetBlue had to be stopped!
  • The FTC just announced the “Click to Cancel” rule. Now, businesses are required to make cancelling their services “at least as easy” as signing up.
  • Dr. Danielle Lord is an expert in leadership theory. She sat down with me this week to discuss the differences between management and leadership, the value of authentic relationships in the workplace, and her new book “Engaging your employees.”
  • China is continuing to persecute Falun Gong practitioners both at home and abroad, including the New York classical dance company Shen Yu. The State department needs to step in and crack down!
  • The savage murder of Rachel Morin, and the recent kidnapping and assault of two 13-year-old girls in New York, were preventable tragedies. Thank Joe Biden for opening the borders to allow their assailants in!
  • Newsguard being liberally biased wouldn’t really be that big a deal – a lot of major news sources are – except that advertisers rely on their ratings, and news sources rely on advertising funds to survive.
  • The Biden/ Harris administration struck a plea deal with the chief 9/11 conspirators – the quickly retracted it when public outcry started impacted their polling. How could anyone think Kamala Harris will keep the USA safe?
