America didn’t just lose a World Cup match.

We lost credibility.

A President personally intervened with FIFA over a disciplinary decision and created the appearance that political power could influence the rules of the game.

The reputational cost was far greater than the sporting cost.

As the former President of South Korea serves a life sentence for his role in a failed insurrection, his wife just got sentenced to 7 years in prison for bribery.

The US could learn a lot from South Korea what accountability looks like for power-hungry, corrupt grifters.

94% of teachers have to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies.

85% of teachers are working second jobs during the school year, often just to keep up with the cost of living.

Meanwhile, the average Wall Street employee got a bonus of $246,900 in 2025.

Something has gone terribly wrong.

I guess a bunch of U.S. airlines are boo-hoo'ing about fuel costs and are requesting a government bailout.

Well, where's my bailout for all the expensive grocery bills and higher power costs? Pony up.

I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.

Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.
