1+ min ago (433+ words) The recent Democratic cry of "affordability" is ironic in many ways. The left-wing narrative of Trump hyperinflation was one of desperation and came only after previous memes had failed to resonate. The 2025 generic "dictator," "fascist," and "Nazi" smear points never helped the left much. Nor did the nihilist government shutdown over the "Obamacare crisis" work other than perhaps to depress fourth-quarter GDP. Nor did the earlier spring 2025 melodramatic predictions of an impending "Trade War," "Recession," and stock-market "Meltdown resonate." Nor did the "Gestapo," "SS," and "Nazi" ICE smears become effective talking points. The "illegal orders" and "unconstitutional use of force" in destroying narcotraffickers" shipments in transit of lethal drugs were mostly empty rhetoric. Then the Democrats got smart and remembered how Trump had won in 2024. He ran and triumphed on pointing out that gasoline had gone sky-high under Biden, who…...

Pull up your chair. Top off your coffee. Last week, the White House released President Donald J. Trump's new National Security Strategy, and it is the chattiest foreign policy document you've ever seen. Trump's strategy cleans house. Out with mass migration, Europe and globalization. In with flexible realism, drug boat strikes and Golden Dome'style missile defense. Of course, the foreign policy establishment immediately freaked out over the venting about Europe. They should have seen it coming. "Europe is in serious trouble. They have been invaded by a force of illegal aliens like nobody has ever seen before," Trump warned in his U.N. speech on Sept. 23.

For years, politicians like Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom have insisted that California is the shining example of fiscal sensibility that America should follow. But when you peel back the layers, what you really find is a state government that can't stop spending, can't plan for the future and is now caught in a structural budget crisis of its own making." This year, California's nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Office (LAO) dropped a bombshell: the state is now projected to face an$18 billion deficit in 202627, a shortfall$5 billion worsethan what lawmakers admitted just months earlier. Even more troubling, the LAO says California is facingstructural deficitsof$15 to $25 billion every year through at least 2029. This isn't a one-off crisis for California. It's a…...

For millions of Gen Z voters, economic participation is becoming aspirational rather than achievable. They are building advanced skills shaped by AI, working longer hours in a volatile labor market, yet facing stagnant wages and financial insecurity far worse than their predecessors. And the problem is not their work ethic; it's the economic rules written in Washington.

11+ min ago (417+ words) By LifeZette News Staff December 15, 2025 A resurfaced statement from conservative activist Charlie Kirk is drawing renewed attention after he warned that Western civilization faces what he described as an approaching spiritual conflict targeting the "American way of life." In the remarks, Kirk said the threat comes from what he characterized as a combination of ideological forces, including wokeism, Marxism, and Islamism, which he argued are converging to undermine long-standing cultural and religious foundations in the United States and the broader West. "The spiritual battle is coming to the west, and the enemies are wokeism, or Marxism, combining with Islamism to go after what we call the American way of life," Kirk said.
