While female college grads are still enjoying a relatively low 4% unemployment rate, a Financial Times analysis states male graduates are faring far worse at 7%.
The reason for this is two-fold: First, males tend to gravitate towards more technical jobs, and many technical jobs are being devoured by algorithms, AI, and other advanced technologies that have made humans redundant. Second, companies are discriminating against males.
Consequently, there are less males in the corporate and government workforce, despite ongoing complaints of “inequality“ from highly politically motivated feminist groups, and despite President Trump’s recent tweet stating “ woke is dead.”
Stay tuned to this page for more reality checks. We keep it real, unlike most other information outlets. 
Despite the nonstop flood of “golden age” economic optimism pouring out of the White House 24/7, in the real world the prices of everything continue to rise with no end in sight (which, by the way, is the reason the federal reserve will not lower the interest rate any further).
Today the Federal Reserve is reporting that the PCE index, which measures consumer expenses and buying behavior, rose again this June by almost a half a percentage point. At present it is 2.6% higher than it was this time last year. This means inflation is not stopping in consumers are going further into debt to stay afloat.
Then again, who needs economic indicators from the Federal Reserve statistics? Just go to your local grocery store and see for yourself. Better yet, go to Home Depot, like I just did, and buy some house paint, and prepare to have your jaw hit the floor when it rings up $47.99 a gallon As they say, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
Not fun fact: unless you received at least a 3% raise this year, you are indeed getting poorer, while the rich are indeed getting richer. That is the trend, and evidently most people agree…
Where to even start with this. America had a $66 billion trade deficit with So Korea. There’s nothing inherently wrong with this. It’s mostly just the outcome of supply and demand: Americans demand South Korean products more than South Koreans demand American products. But Trump has been depicting trade deficits as proof that countries are ripping off Americans so he can get better import/export “deals“ and “investments“ from these countries.
In the latest round of tariff wars, Trump claims South Korea will allow American exports to be duty-free, while South Korean imports will cost American companies and consumers 15% more than we have been paying. Trump calls this “winning.” He also says South Korea has agreed to invest billions of dollars in American infrastructure. What infrastructure? Energy infrastructure, for AI data centers. he also calls this “winning.”
To be sure, it is in fact “winning,” but only for the technocracy and oligarchy. There will be no winning for the American people, whose jobs will be systematically deleted as more and more of these foreign funded AI data centers come into existence across America and the prices on products keep going up while the quality of products keeps tanking.
As you probably know, the “high earners” in the upper income brackets are blessed with a multitude of tax loopholes which their well paid accountants leverage to ease, if not erase, their tax burdens. There are loopholes galore for the top brackets where the Trumps of the world reside. what you may not know is that the average every day citizen does not have access to such loopholes, and the few loopholes remaining are being systematically deleted by the current administration.
Case in point.
Up until today, small businesses, side hustles, and thrifty consumers who purchased only small amounts of imports from countries like China and Hong Kong (think Alibaba, TikTok prods, etc) had a loophole that allowed them to get around Trump‘s heavy corporate tariffs called the De Minimis Rule. Under this rule, all imports under $800 were not subject to Trump’s heavy tariffs—or any customs for that matter.
The De Minimis loophole enabled small businesses on Etsy, eBay, and owners of innovative niche market apps and social media pages to thrive and create good incomes and side hustles. Of course it didn’t allow them to compete with monopolies like Amazon, but it was something, and something was better than nothing.
Kiss it goodbye.
As of today the De Minimis loophole is gone, because the Trump administration has decided that everyone will pay taxes—pardon me—tariffs, regardless of how much product they are moving, because well, the billionaires have decided that those with nothing have too much.
Trump just signed an executive order ending the De Minimis loophole for good. Evidently, he didn’t think the non Wall Street class (read: 70% of America) was being pushed out of every single market fast enough, and he wanted to accelerate the process. Mission accomplished. His latest EO will have a massive negative economic impact across America, thousands of small businesses will close, and of course, consumer choices will continue to get smaller and smaller.
Someone will say that Trump is doing America favor by forcing people to buy American. That’s nice in theory, but a fool’s errand in reality. In reality, the vast majority of these products being imported from China are either not made in America, will never be made in America, or are too expensive to be made in America, and those three realities are never going to change, no matter how powerful and compelling the political sloganing and rhetoric.
Meanwhile, the upper income brackets continue to enjoy endless loopholes to avoid paying taxes. In fact, many of them don’t pay any taxes at all due to all of these loopholes. Yet the Trump administration hasn’t done a single thing to close any of them. And why would they? if they did, the upper brackets would come unglued and scream bloody murder, whereas the lower brackets allow the government to do whatever they want to us without a whimper of protest.
I’m doing my small part with this page to raise awareness on these many critical issues that are absolutely deteriorating quality of life for the majority of Americans. I hope you will do your part and share these posts and help people get informed. Maybe, if we can get enough people informed, we will stop tolerating our government waging war on us? A man can dream.
Trump is ecstatic that gross domestic product grew 3% last quarter, but we believe it’s a false positive for the majority of everyday people for multiple reasons that he and his marketing machine are not sharing. Here is a breakdown of what is included in the GDP and why the numbers aren’t what they appear to be:
Consumer Spending: Things people buy for personal use — food, clothing, rent, medical care, entertainment, etc.
Yes, people spent more money last quarter but only because of ongoing inflation, rent increases, medical bills, and other expenditures, many of which were put on credit cards, since consumer debt also increased last quarter.
Business Investment: Money businesses spend on equipment, buildings, software, inventory, etc.
It’s true that business investments are off the charts under Trump, but the vast majority are related to massive AI, data infrastructure, and energy projects to develop technologies that will actually be replacing human jobs and driving hundreds of thousands of companies out of business.
As a matter of fact, the companies performing the very best on Wall Street are energy, technology, and industrialization: three things that will actually deteriorate our quality of life, not improve it.
Furthermore, when Trump announced tariffs, companies imported double the goods they usually do out of fear. Once that inventory dries up, they will have to import at higher prices, and those prices will no doubt be passed on to all of us.
And finally, American companies have LOST $150 billion paying Trump tariffs. Many people mistakenly believe that foreign countries pay tariffs, but that is not true. American companies pay the tariffs. They of course cannot absorb these costs and will pass them all on to us. They are right now shrinking their product sizes, laying off workers, downsizing, and making other moves to survive and recoup their tariff losses, which are only going to pile higher and higher.
Government Spending: Salaries of government workers, defense, infrastructure, public services.
Government spending is rarely a good thing, and under Trump, government spending is off the charts, despite alleged government downsizing due to the efforts of “doge.”
Here’s a disturbing statistic: The Treasury Department just stated that federal spending from January through June 2025 reached approximately $3.6 trillion, which is $142 billion more than the same period in 2024. Trump is on track to outspend Biden, and he’s just getting warmed up.
Bottom line: short term 3% domestic product increase seems like good news, but when you really dig into it, you find it’s not really good news at all, at least for the vast majority of we the people peasant class.
One more thing, the real barometer of the economy is still falling..
CBS News just published an incredible new analysis of the Epstein surveillance video that completely shatters the government narrative and raises new questions that absolutely demand a congressional investigation.
Among their must-read findings supported by multiple analyses by experts from various disciplines:
-The surveillance video angle does NOT provide full line of sight and therefore does not prove that no one entered Epstein’s cell. This undermines the credibility (and analysis skills) of William Barr (who was AG at the time of Epstein‘s alleged suicide ), Bongino, Patel, and others who have told the world that they watched the videos and were sure no one entered Epstein’s cell.
-Other cameras in the facility were functional, but not being monitored.
-The video recording system mysteriously failed on August 9 and 10th, conveniently depriving viewers of a much fuller view of the area leading to Epstein’s cell.
-Guards did not make their rounds as they normally would have, which is especially suspect since Epstein was on suicide watch.
-Officials had given Epstein a roommate since he was suicidal, but earlier that day the roommate was transferred to another location.
-Guards were originally brought up on charges, but then the charges were dropped without much explanation.
-Video forensic experts say the government’s claim that no one could have gone up the stairs without being seen is false.
-A figure is seen moving up the stairs at one point in the video. Officials say it was a prison guard. Video forensics expert say it is someone in an orange jumpsuit. this opens the possibility that it was another prisoner, or at least someone dressed in a prison jumpsuit, who went up the stairs and killed Epstein.
-A video released by the FBI was supposed to be raw footage without any interruption, but forensic analysts have determined it was splice together, the aspect ratio changes, the Metadata says that it’s been edited, it was a recording of a screen rather than the actual footage itself, and worst of all, the “missing minute“ Pam Bondi said was the result of nightly shift change is FALSE. It has now been reported that the FBI has the actual raw footage in its possession and there are no missing minutes in it.
-The eyewitness testimonies of the guards on duty completely contradict what is seen on video in multiple instances.
And more!
Read the article for yourself. It completely undermines everything we have been told to date about these videos and what happened to that night. It is high time for a major investigation to get down to the bottom of what actually happened, which, more and more, does not appear to be suicide.
Citing tariff related economic factors, Starbucks has made the decision to close 90 locations by the end of the year. This will result in thousands of job losses.
This follows news by Bloomberg and VantageScore that even top earners are falling behind on their car payments, credit cards, and even mortgage payments. Get this:
“Upper-income Americans are increasingly falling behind on credit card and auto loan payments, signaling an underlying vulnerability in the US economy as the labor market slows.
Delinquencies on such debts from those making at least $150,000 annually have jumped almost 20% over the last two years, faster than for middle- and lower-income borrowers, according to the credit-scoring firm VantageScore. A recent Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis study found the share of people making late card payments in the highest-income zip codes has risen twice as much over the last year as in the lowest-income ones.”
What does it all mean? as we’ve been reporting on our Facebook page for months now, we are by no means entering into any sort of “golden age.” When Trump took over, the economy was very fragile, despite reports to the contrary. His tariffs have put altremendous strain on American businesses who have had to absorb $150 billion in losses so far.
As we have been predicting, American corporations are now taking drastic measures to stay alive, such as shrinkflation, store closures, product line cancellations, pay cuts, layoffs, job automation, and constant micro price cuts. American corporations are now officially in survival mode as our Americans, as consumer sentiment numbers reflect.
Americans are deeply misinformed about the economy because they are not getting accurate information from the government and its growing number of media proxies and media outlets that are terrified of running afoul of the government. Stay tuned to this channel and we will keep you posted on everything you need to know. 
I had to do a double take when I saw a Fox News post on Facebook claiming that the staggering $150 BILLION in tariffs that Trump has collected through Customs have been paid by “foreign countries.“
It’s hard to fathom how a full-blown “news agency“ could make such a colossal misinformation error. They leave us no other choice but to think they are either willfully blind or they are complicit in deceiving people into thinking that America is “winning” the trade war when in fact, American companies are paying the tariff taxes, all of which are being passed on to us consumers through various methods such as shrinkflation, closures, layoffs, price increases, etc.
Just today Reuters reported “American companies have decided how they’re going to respond to Trump’s tariffs: price increases.” Read it for yourself via the link below. Get informed. Double and triple check everything media is feeding you, because a lot of it is highly misleading, deceptive, and even fraudulent.
Shockingly, thousands of people responded to the Fox News article congratulating President Trump for “winning” by taking so much money from foreign countries — evidently completely unaware that the money is ultimately going to be taken from them one companies recoup all of their costs, which they are right now in the process of doing.
The flailing American Eagle clothing company is under extreme fire after publishing a racy—pun intended—ad in which pouty lipped actress Sydney Sweeney spins around and rolls on the floor in massively-oversized jeans in pseudo porn clip angles and suggestive poses while the monotone narrator drones “Sydney Sweeney has good jeans.”
American Eagle claims they didn’t mean to suggest that blonde, blue eyed, sex figures were racially superior in any way, and that they didn’t mean any harm. Of course, as usual, it’s the “we are so very sorry if we have offended anyone” trope in defense of themselves.
As usual with these things, the left culture sees it as an attack on people of color, the right culture sees the left backlash as an attack on white people.
Wonder what the reaction would have been if the model had instead been Beyoncé. No doubt there would have been no outrage; in fact, American Eagle would have been deemed very clever and even artistic for their play on words. They may have even won awards. But nope.
I find it hard to believe that American Eagle didn’t consider the possibility of extreme backlash before giving the greenlight to the project. I tend to think they knew it would be highly controversial and that’s the reason they did it. They may have also thought that due to Trump anti DEI culture that the tide was turning against racial stereotypes, thus they would get more praise than hate. They may have thought wrong.
At any rate, the story is relevant is because the response will determine where the culture is with racial sensitivity intolerance for what no doubt, at a minimum, can be considered racy humor.
Over six months into his presidency, supposedly compelled by photos (no doubt captured by the same “legacy media” he has dubbed “the enemy of the people”), Trump has declared the starvation in Gaza is not “fake news,“ and therefore must be acted on immediately.
In fact, he is allegedly so appalled by the media photos he has seen that he has ordered feeding “enclaves” in Gaza and even threatened to recognize Palestine as a state if Israel doesn’t act to end the crisis.
This is nothing short of a stunning turnaround given Trump’s past 180 days of favorable statements towards Israel, chummy meetings with Netanyahu (one in which he gushed as Bibi presented him with a nomination for a Nobel peace prize, even as Israel was gunning down Palestinians who were standing in line for food), and complete silence regarding the mind boggling destruction and suffering in Gaza.
It was only a few months ago that Trump was day dreaming about turning Gaza into a Trump resort in an AI generated video posted to the official White House page that depicted him as the gilded ruler of the disputed territory, drinking with a shirtless Bibi on the beach, as money rained down from the sky over his pal (at the time) Musk.
AI video posted to the official White House page
There was no mention of the destruction and suffering at the time. In fact, Trump was saying that all of the Palestinian people would be moved to nearby states where they would enjoy prosperity and a wonderful new life. What changed? No telling, but chances are, the change didn’t start with a few appalling photos from the mainstream media.
It’s highly probable Trump is frustrated that Netanyahu refuses to honor Trump‘s cease-fire “deals,” which is jeopardizing Trump’s chances for his coveted Nobel Peace Prize, so he is using the starvation situation to shame Bibi into capitulation.
