NYT has gained monopoly power in the American liberal economy. With no comparable competition, they can say “fine, good luck elsewhere” to nearly any person, idea, or story they want US liberalism’s ideas became more based in what NYT wants, not which ideas are strongest or best. Monopoly power!

The same day that Jessica Tarlov quoted Jesse Watters as "A political party can't survive selling fear," Dan Bongino offered a perfect example on Hannity. Fox News sells fear 24/7 365 days a year.

The leader of the Republican Party is stealing money paid by American taxpayers to buy campaign ads for Republicans in the midterms. You can’t vote him out in 5 weeks, but you can vote out the people he’s trying to help with your money he’s thieving while they remain silent.

Here's why you can blame the government for your high interest rates. They're running deficits at war and recession levels, even with unemployment low. All that government borrowing puts upward pressure on interest rates, making loans more expensive for the rest of us. youtu.be/DLsWHniyg0Q

He defends Russia for helping Iran kill Americans. He defends China for helping Iran kill Americans. He pretends Iran hasn’t killed Americans. And his strategy for the clearly failing war he started is to lie about it. He says Canada is bad, an enemy, while North Korea is good. What can’t he do!

Just 10 billionaires have already poured nearly $670 MILLION into this year's midterms. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. If you're wondering what the real threat to "election integrity" is, it's Big Money.

Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Tesla paid just 4.9% of their profits in federal corporate taxes in 2025. They've seen their collective tax bill drop by $95B thanks to two rounds of Trump tax cuts. Meanwhile, tech layoffs in 2026 have already surpassed 2025. Trickle-down economics was always a scam.
