  • The USA and China have finally come to a tentative deal on tariffs, but the details are very sketchy except that there will be a 90-day reduction in tariff amounts by both sides. 
  • Meanwhile, the UK was the first to officially announce a finalized trade deal with the USA. We only know an overview for now, though more details will be announced after the paperwork if finalized.
  • Oregon’s education bureaucracy has made their position clear: Girls sports are no longer for girls. The AFPI is demanding a formal federal investigation into their egregious violations of Title IX.
  • A stunning new report indicates that Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua may actually have had help from Venezuela’s president in sneaking across the border!
  • A new article by ex-CIA advisor Jim Rickards suggests that now the Chevron doctrine has finally been eliminated, America can now claim a $150T reserve of natural wealth buried beneath federal land.
  • Liberal SCOTUS justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has a lot to say on the subject of Trump attacking judges, but she doesn’t bother to take historical precedent into account. Coincidence? Probably not.
  • Even though it seems like everyone wants to move to Florida these days, according to condo owners, it’s not all it’s cracked up to be.
  • In Texas, tortillas are serious business. A new article postulates that corn and flour tortillas are about the same in terms of how healthy they are, but I’m not so sure.
  • Trump has decided he won’t enforce SCOTUS’ TikTok ban for 75 days – a decision I disagree with.
  • Dr. Mark Clifford helped run a major pro-democracy daily newspaper in Hong Kong, but was forced to flee the city’s takeover by the CCP.
  • As I explored the stunning landscape of the Perros-Guirec, I couldn’t help thinking about the American GIs who gave everything fighting to restore freedom to this part of France during World War 2. Their sacrifice must never be forgotten.
  • Mystery drones flew over Langley military base in Virginia for 17 days in 2023. Add that to the mystery drones in New York more recently, and we have a serious problem!
  • Court ruling in favor of Riley Gaines raises further discussion about the balance between free speech and campus policies. The case highlights ongoing debates about fairness in women's sports.
  • A record company sued an internet service provider over their users violating copyright law, but a surprise came in how the damages were calculated.
  • SCOTUS ruled that the EPA’s new “methane rule” can be enforced even as half of the states have active lawsuits protesting its legality.
  • Visiting the breathtaking Mont Saint-Michel, I found myself preoccupied with thoughts of the initial, lofty ideals of the French Revolution, so quickly consumed by the radical excesses and the terror that followed. It’s a powerful lesson for us American conservatives: the dangers of unchecked zeal. 
  • A juror in Trump’s hush money trial may have leaked information, which could open the door to a possible mistrial.
  • Israel is America’s only real ally in the Middle East, and they deserve our support until the terrorist threat of Hamas is eliminated.
  • France’s uncontrolled border crisis has led to an antisemitic attack on a 12-year-old in the Paris suburbs. Hopefully the surging conservative movement will be able to get things under control before it gets worse.
  • If you look at the numbers, the recent surge in the cost of car insurance coincides with a spike in the rate of car thefts – which overlaps with the rise of soft-on-crime, Soros-backed DAs in many major cities. Coincidence? I’m not so sure.
  • The Supreme Court ruled that holding states responsible for pollution they generate in nearby states in unconstitutional, blocking the EPA’s Good Neighbor Rule.
  • In Dinan, I was fascinated with the inventiveness of the 15th century entrepreneurs who once lived there. They used their extra-wide window sills as storefronts, and you can still see them today.
