How Our National Debt Jeopardizes Families’ Futures

Contrary to what some on the right might believe, there are times when being in a red state is neither conservative nor positive. A recent Wall Street Journal column, titled “America Is in a Red State,” explains why.

By the end of the last quarter, the federal debt topped 100 percent of GDP. And this rising debt, fueled by persistent deficits, will harm the country’s economic prospects for generations in ways that today’s politicians seem not to care much about.

An article in the Journal noted, “As of March 31, the country’s publicly held debt was $31.265 trillion, while GDP over the preceding year was $31.216 trillion.” It isn’t the first time federal debt exceeded the size of the nation’s economy; our debt set a record (at least for now) of 106 percent of GDP in 1946, just after World War II. Federal debt also exceeded GDP for a short time in 2020 during the coronavirus panic, as the economy shrank under widespread lockdowns and Washington engaged in a gusher of “stimulus” spending. . .

In the absence of a financial crisis like those the Greek government faced over a decade ago, many families might wonder why they should care about abstract concepts like federal deficits and debt. The Journal article lists some of the reasons why decades of fiscal profligacy will make current and future generations poorer.

For starters, interest rates will rise. The growing debt burden requires the Treasury to issue more notes and bonds; getting the market to soak up that demand will lead to higher interest rates. As it is, the past several years have seen mortgage rates rise as the Federal Reserve (finally) stopped its money-printing policies.

Explosive: CIA Reportedly Waging Secret Bloody War Against Mexico Cartel

Government sources revealed this week that the CIA is secretly waging war against the Mexican cartel.

Earlier this spring, on one of Mexico’s busiest highways, just outside the country’s capital, an inexplicable explosion destroyed a car carrying an alleged cartel operative in broad daylight.

Francisco Beltran and his driver were both instantly killed by the concentrated blast; their bodies were discovered hunched over in their seats. Images and video from the March 28 attack show the car rolling forward and sliding off the highway after a brief flare of flames.

Numerous sources said the explosion was a targeted killing carried out by CIA operations officers, despite the Mexican government’s intense secrecy surrounding it. The State of Mexico’s Attorney General told CNN that an explosive device had been concealed inside the car.

According to those sources and two other people acquainted with the campaign, the Beltran operation was a part of a larger, previously unknown CIA campaign inside Mexico, led by the agency’s elite and covert Ground Branch, to destroy the established cartel networks.

The Orwellian ‘Kill Switch’ Some Republicans Want In Your Car

Congress quietly passed an Orwellian regulation during former President Joe Biden’s term requiring all new cars to feature a “kill switch,” raising the alarm among some Republicans — but not all of them.

Republicans like Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie, Texas Rep. Chip Roy, and Pennsylvania Rep. Scott Perry have led the charge in the House to scrap the invasive regulation, calling it “impractical” and “Orwellian.” Yet in the most recent January vote to reverse the regulation, 57 Republicans joined nearly every Democrat to mandate that every 2027 model car have a kill switch.

This feature would use technology to assess the driver’s performance and determine whether they are impaired. If the car determines the driver is unfit to be behind the wheel, the kill switch would shut the car off, raising concerns about safety, surveillance, and implementation.

“This is why we lose, the uniparty,” Massie told Tucker Carlson in a recent interview. “I can’t get 218 people to take this provision of law out of law.”

The regulation became law under Biden after Congress passed the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Since then, Massie has led two failed votes to counter the regulation originally intended to curb drunk driving. (Read more from “The Orwellian ‘Kill Switch’ Some Republicans Want In Your Car” HERE)

Mystery of Sunken Russian ‘Ghost Ship’ Grows after Explosions Reported while Carrying Alleged Nuclear Reactors to North Korea

The mystery of how a Russian cargo ship sank deepened after it was revealed that the vessel suffered multiple explosions while allegedly carrying two nuclear reactors believed to be bound for North Korea, according to a new report.

The prevailing theory suggests that the West might have been involved in the incident that saw the Ursa Major sink 60 miles off the coast of Spain on Dec. 23, 2024, CNN reported.

The ship, also known as the Sparta 3, appeared to have been hit by a rare type of torpedo that breached the ship’s hull and forced it to sink to the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, according to Spanish investigators.

The investigation suggested that the only thing that could have breached the ship was the Barracuda supercavitating torpedo, a powerful weapon of which only the US, a few NATO countries, Russia and Iran are believed to be in possession.

In the aftermath of the incident, the ship’s Russian captain allegedly told Spanish investigators that Ursa Major was hauling “components for two nuclear reactors similar to those used in submarines,” with the sailor unsure if the reactors were loaded with atomic fuel, CNN reported.

Child Predator Cults Tied To 450 People In Growing FBI Crackdown

FBI investigations of a heinous online child predator network have expanded to target more than 450 people, the bureau said on Tuesday.

Officials continue to crack down on groups going by names such as “764” that lure children into violent online communities and induce them toward self-harm or sexual acts, FBI Dallas Special Agent in Charge Joe Rothrock said in a statement warning parents and schoolteachers. Authorities have traced similar groups’ beginnings to at least 2019, announcing more than 350 subjects of investigations by late last year.

“Their members often connect with minors on popular online gaming and social media platforms, build their trust by posing as friends, and then coerce them into harming themselves or others,” Rothrock said of the predators.

The growing federal crackdown on 764-style networks spans multiple presidencies and now involves all 56 FBI field offices, according to authorities. The Trump administration has increasingly described them with the new label “Nihilistic Violent Extremists,” criminals who seek to cause harm “primarily from a hatred of society at large and a desire to bring about its collapse by sowing indiscriminate chaos, destruction, and social instability.”

Groups fitting that description also promote violence beyond sexual exploitation, including school shootings and political assassinations, and embrace Satanic or Nazi symbolism, Daily Caller News Foundation reporting shows.

UTTERLY DESPICABLE: Ghislaine Maxwell ‘On the Verge’ of Cutting Dramatic Deal With Trump’s DOJ to Secure a Pardon

Ghislaine Maxwell is said to be on the verge of cutting a dramatic deal to secure a pardon and freedom, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

The 64-year-old madam of Jeffrey Epstein is currently serving 20 years at the Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas, nicknamed “Club Fed” for its casual atmosphere and minimum security.

According to new sources, Maxwell may soon be a free woman as she is believed to know too much about the vile clients that Epstein dealt with while sex trafficking young women.

In 2025, following her meeting with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, Maxwell was moved from the Florida Prison Details (FCI Tallahassee) to the Texas prison, where inmates are allowed to buy luxury items, including L’Oréal anti-aging cream, as well as take yoga and Pilates classes.

Inmates are also allowed to take part in football, volleyball, and even fencing. But while Maxwell filed a habeas corpus petition in December to challenge her conviction, the government could step in and offer her a pardon, an insider claimed, due to dark secrets she is believed to know.

According to sources, the jailed woman had also sent a message to her sister from behind bars, begging her to send “emails” and “stuff” to an attorney pal who has helped with Maxwell’s appeal, which also referred to a “spigot” drying up.

Hackers have Breached Tank Readers at US Gas Stations; Officials Suspect Iran is Responsible

US officials suspect Iranian hackers are behind a series of breaches of systems that monitor the amount of fuel in storage tanks serving gas stations in multiple states, according to multiple sources briefed on the activity.

The hackers responsible have exploited automatic tank gauge (ATG) systems that were sitting online and unprotected by passwords, allowing them in some cases to tinker with display readings on the tanks but not the actual levels of fuel in them, the sources said.

The cyber intrusions are not known to have caused physical damage or harm, but the breaches have raised safety concerns because gaining access to an ATG could, in theory, allow a hacker to make a gas leak go undetected, according to private experts and US officials.

The sources briefed on the investigation said Iran’s history of targeting the gas tank systems is one reason the country is a top suspect. But, the sources cautioned, the US government may not be able to definitively determine who was responsible because of a lack of forensic evidence left by the hackers.

Largest Children’s Hospital in US to Open ‘Detransition Clinic’ after $10M Settlement with Trump DOJ, State

Texas Children’s Hospital (TCH) in Houston agreed to stop administering puberty blockers to children, pay $10 million in penalties and open a “detransition clinic” after a sweeping probe from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the state of Texas.

The resolution brings to a close a years-long investigation by Texas’ Healthcare Program Enforcement Division, which concluded that TCH fraudulently billed Texas Medicaid for “unallowable and illegal ‘gender-transition’ interventions,” Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton wrote in a Friday statement.

“Under the terms of this landmark agreement, Texas Children’s will establish the first-ever multidisciplinary clinic designed to provide medical care to patients who were subjected to ‘gender-transition’ procedures,” Paxton wrote.

“This Detransition Clinic will help patients reverse the damage caused by ideologically-motivated physicians who harmed patients by performing dangerous medical interventions for the purpose of “transitioning” them,” Paxton’s statement continued.

All services provided through the detransition clinic will be funded by Texas Children’s and be free of charge to patients for the first five years of the clinic, according to Paxton.

4 Alien Species have been Pulled from Crashed UFOs, Ex-Government Researcher Claims

The US has recovered four distinct species of extraterrestrial life from crashed UFOs, a former CIA-funded government researcher sensationally claimed this week.

Dr. Hal Puthoff, former Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program advisor and CIA-funded researcher, made the claim alongside “Age of Disclosure” director Dan Farrah on Steve Bartlett’s “The Diary of a CEO” podcast on Thursday.

“People who have been involved in recoveries have said there are at least four types. Four separate types,” the 89-year-old said. “Now I have not had direct access to that but I believe the people who I talked to — four separate types of life.”

The Stanford-trained quantum physicist did not detail the supposed alien species — but his longtime collaborator and former AAWSAP colleague Dr. Eric Davis claimed last year that Grays, Nordics, Insectoids, and Reptilians are the names of the biological lifeforms pulled from the wreckage of downed or crashed UFOs.

Each alien species has two arms and legs and a humanoid appearance, Davis claimed, citing intelligence reports.

Both the Reptilians and the Nordics are human-sized, roughly 6 feet tall, Davis said at a UAP Disclosure Fund meeting in 2025 which was attended by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) and Rep. Eric Burlison (R-Mo.). (Read more from “4 Alien Species have been Pulled from Crashed UFOs, Ex-Government Researcher Claims” HERE)

Trump Threatens ‘Weak Minded’ Boebert with Primary after She Campaigns for Massie

. . .The president openly solicited contenders on social media Saturday to primary Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) after she campaigned for Trump-foe Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.).

“Is anyone interested in running against Weak Minded Lauren Boebert in Colorado’s Fourth Congressional District? You remember Lauren moved to the District when it became obvious that she couldn’t win in her original Congressional District (The Third!) — A Carpetbagger, indeed!” Trump posted on Truth Social Saturday.

Boebert, who moved to the more conservative 4th district ahead of her 2024 election, appeared with Massie at two campaign events in Kentucky Friday as he faces a fierce primary challenge from Ed Gallrein, a retired Navy SEAL who has Trump’s endorsement.

Massie is struggling to hold onto his seat after facing repeated accusations of disloyalty from President Trump, who he has accused of being in the “Epstein class.”

“Donald Trump told us that even though, you know, he had dinner with these kinds of people in New York City and West Palm Beach, that he would be transparent. But he’s not. He’s still in with the Epstein class. This is the Epstein administration,” Massie told ABC’s This Week in February.
