America’s Rapidly Growing Happiness Deficit
We possess technology that would have been unimaginable to people living 100 years ago, we have access to more entertainment than any other generation in human history, and we have been enjoying an artificially-inflated standard of living that has been fueled by an unprecedented debt binge for decades. So why are so many of us so miserable? One out of every eight Americans is taking an antidepressant, more than 48 million Americans have a substance use disorder, the suicide rate has been trending in the wrong direction for years, and according to Gallup, the percentage of U.S. adults that are currently dealing with depression has nearly doubled since 2015.

Trump Pulls Page From Iraq War Playbook In Escalation Against ‘Narco-Terrorists’

“Trans” Lobby Fumes About Name Change on Levine Portrait at HHS
Once again, the Trump administration has triggered the “trans” lobby, and once again, the man-ladies — and lady-men — have turned purple with fury. “Quietly,” as the pro-trans media say, the Health and Human Services Department changed the nameplate on former assistant secretary “Rachel” Levine’s portrait.

‘This Is Our Country’ Rep. Andy Ogles Drops a Congressional Mic Drop on Deportation and National Sovereignty
Rep. Andy Ogles Delivers an Explosive Congressional Reckoning and the System Panics Washington is not accustomed to moments like this. It is accustomed to scripted outrage, consultant-approved language, and carefully engineered ambiguity designed to offend no one while solving nothing. “The United States of America is safer today because of President Trump,” Ogles stated plainly.
“The United States of America is the dominant predator across all landscapes. Because of President Trump, we have restored our status as the global leader. Because of President Trump—hard stop.”There was no qualifier. No apology. No attempt to soften the message for the professional outrage class that immediately sprang into action after his remarks went public.

Qatar, Turkey, and a deal undone: How Doha, Ankara are taking over Trump’s Gaza plan
The Gaza plan championed by the Trump administration is on the verge of being hijacked – not by Israel, but by the very states that have spent years arming, financing, and glorifying Hamas. At the Doha Forum, Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey dispensed with diplomatic subtleties and openly demanded changes that would render the entire plan meaningless. The astonishing part is not that Qatar and Turkey are attempting this maneuver – it is that Washington is allowing it. The US is ignoring the plainly anti-Western ideological motives of its supposed partners, and in doing so, it is sleepwalking into a strategic catastrophe.

American Pastors Returning From Israel Hit by Coordinated Online Hate

Cruz: American churches ‘asleep’ on antisemitism
The leaders of the mainstream Christian churches in the United States are asleep as antisemitism poisons the minds of young people from both the left and the right, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said on Thursday. “The world’s response to the October 7 attacks made clear that the hatred of the Jewish people did not end in 1945. The hatred that fueled the Holocaust is still alive today and is not confined to geography.”

Top Biden Official Belatedly Admits Ukraine War Truth Bombshell
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is way behind the times. On Sunday he very belatedly expressed willingness to drop Ukraine’s bid to join NATO. In place of this, he’s seeking robust security guarantees. “We are talking about bilateral security guarantees between Ukraine and the United States — namely, Article 5-like guarantees … as well as security guarantees for us from our European partners and from other countries such as Canada, Japan and others,” Zelensky told journalists in a group chat, as reported in Financial Times.

“Six Figures Is Survival” – Even High Earners Are Drowning Financially As The U.S. Dollar Is Transformed Into Toilet Paper
Inflation is a tax that nobody can escape. No matter how hard you may try, the rising cost of living is going to catch up with you eventually, and we live at a time when the cost of living has become exceedingly painful. The reason why the cost of living has become such an important issue is because those that are running the system have been treating our currency like toilet paper. Many of us warned what would happen when the Federal Reserve started printing money out of thin air and monetizing the debt. But instead of learning their lesson, they are beginning to do it again. And Congress is spending so much money that the monthly budget deficit for the month of October just set an all-time record. What they are doing to us is literally insane, and the middle class is dying right in front of our eyes.
