As we say “Goodbye” to August, we say “Hello” to September with its Fall sports, cooling weather, and the end of the Hurricane season. The continental U.S. dodged a few hurricanes for a change. But we fought “other” types of hurricanes on numerous fronts: like “Politicanes!”
And we won’t be shutting that down for years to come.
Before we forget, let’s go back and highlight some of the most important stories of the past week.
Bullet Points
- The week brought us excellent news on the tariff front. Revenue from President Donald Trump’s tariffs hit a fresh high of nearly $30 billion as of August 25th. We had a single-day haul of almost $22.5 billion on August 22. And according to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, “The best part is no consumer price inflation!” For complete details — and they’re really good — click on this link:
- Now that we gave you great news about the big bucks coming to us from our tariff funds, sadly, we’ve got to hit you in the gut with late-breaking news from Friday: a federal court in Washington, D.C., delivered a devastating blow to Trump’s trade policy in a significant ruling. This federal judge struck down Trump’s tariffs as illegal under federal law in an appeals ruling! For complete details, click on this link:
- This latest bullet point actually connects dots that millions of Americans have been waiting to see happen, answering some critical questions that have never been addressed about the James Comey FBI at the end of the Obama Administration. Comey very publicly discussed confidential notes and documents that he had given to a non-classified individual to give to the press. Of course, Comey’s actions were illegal. Also, of course, nothing happened to Comey for violating several federal laws!
- It has been suspected that dark money groups have been spending tens of millions of dollars running numerous operations to discredit Donald Trump, discourage GOP voters, and ramp up vitriolic anti-Trump rhetoric to salvage the Democrat Party voters headed into the midterm elections. Guess what: an investigation has uncovered exclusive confirmation that a “major” dark money group has been paying Democrat social media influencers thousands of dollars a month to promote their leftist ideology to those young Trump voters they feel can be influenced to turn from the GOP to Democrats running in the midterms. Who is it? How are they doing it? For complete details, click on this link:
- Robert Kennedy, Jr., the HHS Secretary, has been filling leadership positions throughout his organization, particularly at the CDC. Those critical positions at the top of this massive and crucial operation have, of late, been expressing some bizarre ideas, making outrageous statements, and several have actually resigned their positions, making outlandish allegations on their way out. A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention official who posted his resignation letter on social media used the term “pregnant people” and capped off his missive by including “he/his/him” pronouns after his name. And that’s just the tip of that iceberg! For complete details, click on this link:
- Another frightening situation at the Department of Defense arose this past week. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced shocking circumstances of operations for some time in the DoD, having to do with Microsoft Research Asia partnering with Chinese universities (who were sanctioned for providing AI tools to Chinese firms) despite formal restrictions. Shortly following the 20204 election, Microsoft pledged it would stop using China-based engineers to “maintain Pentagon systems after reports raised alarms about potential vulnerabilities.” This is pretty scary!

- Megyn Kelly found some information, along with pictures, from inside Jeffrey Epstein’s multimillion-dollar Manhattan mansion. In addition to revealing many of the people who had frequented the bizarre mansion, some pictures were unexplainable. Some of the people in pictures with Epstein were Pope John Paul, Elon Musk, Donald and Melania Trump, and a multitude of World leaders from all over the Globe. Maybe we’re on the cusp of getting some “real” information about the dangers of Jeffrey Epstein that millions are praying for!
- In the aftermath of the horrendous school shooting at that Catholic Church/School this week, large numbers of questions continue to be asked about every possible incident that went into and impacted the deaths of two elementary students, with multiple others shot by a former student at the school who also had attended the Catholic Church. Most of the typical questions will never be answered. Why? The shooter took his/her own life after the shootings. Many Americans are asking why the Minnesota and Minneapolis governments did not provide security at this private school, particularly since they had provided security for multiple public schools around the city. Guess what: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) DENIED the Catholic school’s request for a tiny security budget despite having a $17 billion surplus! Why? For complete details, click on this link:
- Do you recall the intense verbal debates during the COVID-19 pandemic over the origin of the virus, specifically whether the lab in Wuhan, China, had allegedly allowed the COVID virus to escape and trigger the worldwide pandemic? Dr. Anthony Fauci was at the center of the verbal battle because of his “alleged” funding of “Gain of Function” research at the Wuhan laboratory. “Gain of Function” is the process of increasing the deadliness of viruses found in nature, supposedly to see how deadly they would have to be before it became impossible for vaccines to kill them! That process was outlawed. However, people in the U.S. government are in the process of bringing gain-of-function research back to U.S. laboratories. For complete details, click on this link:
- No American can credibly maintain that very much “good” was initiated by President Trump and those in his administration during those four years. Of course, there were numerous policies and actions funded in those years that have cost Americans hundreds of billions of dollars and taken countless lives. Biden’s flood at the Southern border wreaked havoc on the entire nation, from which we may never recover. Three hundred thousand unaccompanied minor children who crossed the border into the U.S. were transferred to Biden’s Department of HHS, which supposedly processed these children and placed them in multiple places across the U.S. in homes, orphanages, and foster homes where they could be taken care of. With Trump’s election, we discovered that the Biden administration never followed up or checked on the status of a single one of those children. Though a massive percentage of those 300,000 children remain “lost,” Tom Homan, Trump’s “Border Czar,” announced the finding of 23,000 of that group. For complete details, click on this link:
