Let’s not beat around the sand dune—Iran with nukes is a problem. A big one. It's like handing a matchbook to a kid playing in a fireworks factory and saying, “Now be responsible.” For decades, Iran’s ruling regime has made its intentions clear: exporting Islamic revolution, wiping Israel off the map, destabilizing the Middle East,…
In the age of misinformation, rumors have a nasty habit of snowballing into “facts.” One of the more persistent ones floating around is that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was deemed a gang leader and human trafficker by two judges. Let’s break that down and separate truth from fiction. Claim #1: “Two judges found him to be…
The saga of Kilmar Abrego Garcia is not just another bureaucratic mishap swept under the rug. It’s a constitutional crossroads, a diplomatic standoff, and a gut-check moment for a nation that prides itself on being a beacon of justice and due process. At the heart of this story is a Maryland father, a lawful resident,…
So, here's the headline that's got economists buzzing and tech execs breathing a cautious sigh of relief: President Trump’s administration has officially exempted smartphones and computers from all “reciprocal” tariffs. That includes the base 10% tariff slapped on all imports and the 125% scorcher that was aimed squarely at China. But before you go thinking…
Well, here we go again. Another round in the ongoing heavyweight bout between the United States and China. Yesterday, China raised tariffs on American goods to a whopping 125%—a direct response to the U.S. upping its own tariffs to 145%. It’s like watching two toddlers in a sandbox throwing handfuls of gravel at each other…
Well folks, just when you thought you’d seen it all, President Trump went and did that thing again — you know, the one where he lights a fire and then rushes in with a garden hose, saying, “Relax, I’ve got it under control.” Yesterday, Trump abruptly hit pause on his blanket tariffs for most countries…
When President Trump gets behind a podium and starts talking tariffs, you can almost hear the stock market tense up and the media hit DEFCON 1. But here’s the thing—behind the noise, tweets, and headlines, there’s a legitimate frustration driving Trump’s trade strategy: the American economy isn’t working for everyone anymore, and it hasn’t been…
There’s a meme making the rounds that says, “If tariffs don’t work, then why does nearly every other country on earth use them?” It’s got that smug, sarcastic vibe, but buried in the snark is actually a worthwhile question—so let’s take it seriously for a second. So... do tariffs work? The short answer? Sometimes. But…
Politics. That one word can turn a perfectly peaceful Sunday lunch into a debate club, make church small groups nervously sip their coffee, and transform your once-wholesome Facebook feed into a minefield of memes, arguments, and Scripture taken way out of context. It’s a battlefield—not just of ideas, but of worldviews, emotions, and deeply held…
President Trump’s latest round of tariffs—rolled out with all the drama of a national emergency declaration on April 2, 2025—marks one of the most sweeping trade maneuvers in modern U.S. history. A universal 10% tariff on all imports, along with steeper penalties for “unfair traders” like China (54%) and the European Union (20%), signals a…
