  • Texas floods are a tragic reminder: county governments must stop rubber-stamping development in known flood zones! Prioritizing short-term growth over public safety and fiscal responsibility is indefensible. It's time for accountability and common-sense planning to protect Texans and their property. 
  • Chicago just wrapped another bloody 4th of July, with violent crime spiraling. This isn't about fireworks, it's a failure of leadership. When will progressive policies stop sacrificing public safety for ideology? Families deserve to celebrate freedom, not fear for their lives. 
  • A 60-day Gaza ceasefire? Pointless unless ALL 20 remaining living hostages are released IMMEDIATELY. Our priority should be bringing our people home, not enabling terrorist groups. No deals without accountability! 
  • While our President has delivered on many promises, the war in Ukraine drags on. It's time to unleash America's full power & decisively arm Ukraine to end this conflict. Weakness emboldens our enemies. Let's finish the job and defend freedom! 
  • The US recalling its diplomat from Colombia, and Colombia reciprocating, is a serious sign of escalating tensions. When a crucial regional partner starts making "baseless and reprehensible statements," America must stand firm. Our allies need to understand we demand respect and clear communication. 
  • Microsoft cutting 9,000 jobs while rumors swirl of AI replacements. This raises serious questions about the future of work & big tech's priorities. While AI's full impact is unclear, we must ensure innovation serves people, not just profits. 
  • 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.
  • Latest jobs report: 147,000 new jobs! But don't be fooled by the stock market bump. Nearly half are government jobs, masking a sagging private sector. True economic strength comes from private innovation, not bloated bureaucracy. We need real growth, not government-inflated numbers! 
  • Big win! Paramount settles with Trump for $16M over CBS's skewed 2024 election coverage of Kamala Harris. This is a clear signal: the Fake News Media can't manipulate voters and get away with it. Accountability is coming! 
  • Tragic news from Milan: A man died after being sucked into a jet engine at the airport on July 8th. While details emerge, it's a stark reminder that security breaches and runway incursions can have devastating consequences. Our airports must be absolutely secure, protecting both passengers and personnel. 
  • BOMBSHELL in New York DMV: Employees busted rigging driving tests for illegal immigrants, many who couldn't speak English! This, while DOT just mandated English proficiency for CDLs. Our security and safety are being undermined. Unacceptable!
  • The SPLC's "hate map" labeling of mainstream Christian advocacy groups is deeply concerning & out of touch with the values of many Americans. It blurs lines between legitimate advocacy & actual hate, undermining their own credibility and fueling division.
  • Arguing about the discovery process in a lawsuit is rarely headline-making, but all the rules flew out the window when TwitterX sued Media Matters.
  • Bargain Hunt, a chain of discount stores, is closing all 91 of their locations by the end of March. Yet another casualty of Bidenomics. I hope Trump turns things around soon.
  • 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.”
