Ever since that former California Democrat Governor named Ronald Reagan gave his “Time for Choosing” speech, Conservative’s have wandered further and further away from engaging the issue of poverty. However, Reagan’s ‘do a little arithmetic’ point on poverty budgets vs how much help it’s been to the poor community still pencils out.
President Trump shocked the GOP establishment when he went into Detroit in 2016 and asked, “are you better off now?” Eight years later the Black and Latino community support for the GOP has grown to record levels but has the policy the effort to bring free-market, liberty-based solutions grown to match?
We sit down with Dr Ed Kornegay and Ehi Aimiuwu from the Center for Poverty Solutions and the Illinois Policy Center to hear about the success that they have had in Chicago and can that be exported to places like Richmond, Norfolk, Charlottesville or even… DC?

The Left and Right’s reactions to the events of this week provide a telling insight into why the Right has a hold of the culture, and the Left, decidedly, does not—from the tragic shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic School to Taylor Swift’s engagement announcement.
On today’s episode of Problematic Women, we begin with the tragic shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minnesota. We share what is currently known about the incident and how some Democrats have chosen to respond, including attempts to minimize prayer and politicize the tragedy.
We also highlight the data showing how President Trump’s recent crime crackdown in Washington, D.C., has led to real results—lower carjackings, fewer robberies, and even nearly two weeks without a homicide.
Speaking of Trump, his marathon three-hour cabinet meeting on Tuesday ran longer than The Godfather. We sat through the entire thing so you don’t have to, and we break down the biggest takeaways, from Trump’s surprising stance on Chinese student visas to his pushback on Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker’s call for “non-violent resistance” to potential National Guard presence in Chicago.
And of course, the biggest pop culture story of the week (and possibly the year) is that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are engaged. Travis’ father, Ed, shared a statement on the two’s “shared values, strong work ethic and future family goals,” begging the question: will Taylor and Travis’ new domestic era inspire a marriage and/or baby boom in America?
Isabel Brown joins as our Problematic Woman of the Week, bringing thoughtful commentary on the issues that matter in politics and pop culture.

“I’m Sorry, Dave.”
It's not that George Soros was born in 2008 but he became part of the political zeitgeist that year as we learned about how he helped raise a fortune for the Presidential aspirations of a young Senator from Illinois named Barrack.
Ever since then the specter of Soros and his money has hung over every discussion about democracy in the United States. Last year he announced that he was stepping back from the day-to-day operations in favor of his son Alex, who he calls far more politically active than he ever was, taking over. The fear in Conservative circles was that a more politically aggressive, more targeted Soros organization at Open society would be harder to even keep up with, never mind defeat.
The Soros organization is the key pole underneath the tent of a fundraising machine called Arabella Advisors. They are a philanthropic consulting company that oversees a handful of nonprofits, all of which oversee a multitude of left-leaning projects and organizations. When accounting for the seven nonprofits in the Arabella Network, they provided nearly $1 billion in grants in 2023 alone.
One group that has done an exquisite job all the way to the point of publishing a book on who Arabella Advisors are is the Capital Research Center. Kristen Eastlake, Senior Vice President of the CRC sits down with us at the State Policy Network annual meeting to tell us breaking news that George and more importantly Alex Soros may not have the money they used to have.

Mass protests are erupting in Britain, Germany, and the Netherlands over unchecked migration and crime. Leaders like German Chancellor Friedrich Merz admit that their welfare states can no longer sustain massive entitlement spending for migrants who entered illegally.
Victor Davis Hanson lays out why Europe’s future hangs in the balance and what steps it must take to restore stability, security, and common sense on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”
“The whole socialist paradigm is not producing goods and service that allow such general entitlements. The borders are insecure. Illegal immigrants are not assimilated, acculturated, integrated into the German, French, European body politic. And they're gonna have a terrible time spending 5% of GDP to defend themselves. This is in addition to having to lower their $200 billion surplus with the United States.
“We know what Europe has to do. It has to return to commonsense energy policies; use their natural gas, use oil, to the extent they have it; build nuclear plants; be competitive on the world market, in terms of energy cost. They need to secure their borders. They need to have legal-only immigration. They need to prune back the state, the socialist state. Can they do it?”

“Crime apologist” is not a strong enough term to describe the hysteria and vitriol that’s infected the modern-day Left.
For the sake of ideology, left-wing leaders and activists are willing to sacrifice public safety and justice—from sanctuary cities releasing violent offenders to outrage over federal intervention that actually reduced crime in Washington, D.C. Victor Davis Hanson warns of the dire consequences of this mindset if left unchecked on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”
“ Do you remember the UnitedHealthcare CEO, Brian Thompson? He was a person from the middle class, was born without status or advantages or money, and he worked himself up to the leadership position of one of the largest health care concerns in the United States. And Luigi Mangione—a 25- or 26-year-old wealthy, well-educated kid, high status, privileged—decided that he was an enemy of the people because health care was not universal and UnitedHealthcare may have refused coverage to certain people in need. So, he decided he was going to kill him. And he did kill him. He murdered him. It's on tape. And what was the reaction of the Left? Some on the left canonized him.

India’s growing population, economic strength, and position as an English-speaking counterweight to China should make it a perfect partner for America.
So, why isn’t it?
On today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson explains how trade disputes, tariffs, and India’s continued purchases of Russian oil have strained ties. Instead of strengthening bonds with America, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is moving closer to both Russia and China.
“It should be a very profitable relationship, especially for India to have all of its citizens free to come to the United States. And millions apparently do and they get billions of dollars in remittances. They run a trade surplus with us. And we have a lot of commonalities as English-speaking democracies. But we're not. And so, why aren't we? One of the greatest problems is Donald Trump slapped a tariff. And he said, ‘India's tariffs are too high.’ And they replied, ‘Well, if you look at services and the other intangibles that I mentioned, maybe it's not that bad. And we're working on it.’ But Trump really did put high tariffs on India.”

At the annual State Policy Network Annual Meeting we caught up with the leaders of the Cascade Policy Institute from Oregon, John Charles, and the Empire Center in New York Zilvinas Silenas on doing just that.

From Bolton’s role in the Trump administration to prior warnings from a federal judge about his handling of sensitive information and why the DOJ under Biden dropped its earlier investigation, Victor Davis Hanson unpacks the full backstory behind the raid on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”
“ When Donald Trump's home was raided on August 9th, 2022, John Bolton spoke out. And he said, ‘Let's not prejudge, you,’ basically, you pro-Trumpers, ‘let's just let all the evidence, you know, be seen before we make snap judgments.’ Meaning, you know, he's probably guilty. But more importantly, then he said, ‘Donald Trump was just—anything that came across his desk. He saw french fries, he got 'em. He saw classified documents, he did, just because he could.’ And then on another occasion, ‘He has no respect for classification. And that's a lie, that he personally classified these.’
So he was very critical of anybody who objected to what he thought was an FBI, legitimate raid on Mar-a-Lago. Now it's ironic. We'll see if he uses the same tropes and themes to protect himself in the way that he blasted Trump about a similar raid.”

While D.C. residents are enjoying feeling safe on the streets of their community once again, angry middle class suburban protesters want the National Guard to leave the crime ridden city. When Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth visited the National Guard troops at Union Station this week, protesters used their First Amendment rights to demand things go back to the status quo in the nation's Capital.
On this week’s edition of Problematic Women, we discuss the radical left’s bizarre campaign against the Trump administration's efforts to improve safety in Washington’s D.C.
Also on today’s show, President Donald Trump is working to secure a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia, which might explain why Trump has not made many public appearances since his meeting with European leaders on Monday - he’s business negotiating a peace plan.
And Daily Caller White House Correspondent Reagan Reese joins the show to give us an inside look into Air Force One and the press briefing room of the White House.
Plus, the Travis Kelce photoshoot is … well, we’ll let you decide. All this and more on this week’s show!

You may not have ever heard the name of a man who was among the most profound intellectuals of the modern conservative movement in America.
Frank S. Meyer was the man who came up with the idea of fusionism, an alliance between traditionalists and libertarians that underpinned the anti-communist bloc that composed the American Right for the latter half of the 20th century. Ironically enough, Meyer first came up with the idea of fusionism when he was an out-and-proud Communist, though he initially used the term as a unification of the American Founding and communist ideas a la Howard Zinn’s “A People’s History of the United States.”
Daniel Flynn, a Hoover Institute fellow and senior editor of “The American Spectator,” has spent the last few years writing a new biography of Meyer called “The Man Who Invented Conservatism.” His book brings to light new documents and information about Meyer’s life previously unknown, and he joined “The Signal Sitdown” to discuss the man-turned-missing-link in the conservative movement.

This type of rhetoric, embraced by DEI ideology, is nothing short of racial essentialism—and dangerously divisive.
Victor Davis Hanson explains why such rhetoric threatens America’s identity as a successful multiracial democracy—and why ethnic and racial chauvinism must be rejected—on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”
“Joy Reid is basically saying that black people are cognitively superior to other people. I wish this was an isolated incident. But remember, we've had this controversy before, about the president of Sacramento State, Luke Wood, who, in his past, was an African American intellectual activist, as he self-describes himself. And he said he wanted to ”eliminate”—that's a bad word to use, given the history of it in the 20th century—“eliminate whiteness.” Again, no repercussions.
“We have zero tolerance when racists, who are white, say such things about other groups. But in a truly multiracial, tolerant society, people who not only attack a group, collectively, and stereotype it, but they do so from positions of influence and power—like The New Yorker magazine or a former MSNBC anchor—they can do a great deal of damage, unless they're called out for it.”

Recently, an illegal alien pulled an illegal U-turn on the Florida Turnpike, resulting in a crash that killed three innocent people. The man, identified as Harjinder Singh, was issued a driver’s license by the state of California despite failing basic questions on his driver’s test.
Victor Davis Hanson explains how California’s refusal to enforce immigration law and its dangerous trucking conditions create chaos on the roads—and why these failures don’t stay contained within the state’s borders—on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”
“ What was very disturbing was the expression on Mr. Singh's face. It was calm. He looked around. It was almost as if, ‘Oh. I made a U-turn. Somebody hit my truck. I wonder what happened?’ He didn't get out and try to help anybody. He stood at the side of the road, finally. But why was he driving? He was driving because California issued him a license when they knew he was an unlawful resident of the United States and he was not proficient in English, at least enough to be able to read rudimentary traffic signs and signals. In other words, he killed three people.
“This man was not a U.S. citizen. He was not here legally, and he could not read or write English, apparently. And the wages of that, we found out in Florida, were the death of three innocent people. And no remorse. No apologies on the part of California or Gavin Newsom. Bottom line: California is dangerous to itself, in a myriad of ways, but it's also dangerous to everybody outside of California because its pathologies are not contained within its borders.”

Victor Davis Hanson puts the summit in historical perspective and compares Trump’s diplomacy to past U.S. presidents on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”
“ It begs the question, do you have any collective memory? The Ukraine war started when Vladimir Putin invaded the Crimea and Donbas under the presidency of Barack Obama. Remember the hot mic in Seoul, where he said, 'Tell Vladimir that if he gives me space for my last election, I'll be flexible on missile defense'? Do you remember that? He also invaded, as you remember, in Joe Biden's tenure. He tried to take Kyiv. He didn't during Donald Trump's four years.
“ All I'm asking them is, please give us an alternative strategy. How long do you wanna fight? Who is gonna fight? How many deaths, wounded are you willing to incur to push Vladimir Putin all the way back to where he was prior to the invasion of 2014, when Barack Obama allowed him to come in? Just a question.”

I saw the writing on the wall 18 years ago and left California. I was a native Californian and just couldn't recognize my state anymore.
The ICE Spotting app is assisting a crime before/after the act. That's interference with law enforcement. Arrest the designer and get an injunction to stop it.
I completely agree.
They should have tased the Senator.
The President needs to give Iran a set deadline of no more than a week and then either bomb the hell out of Iran or let the Israelis do it with our support. It's the only language that Iran understands.
I'm currently listening to Gibbons "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire." Sadly, I can see many parallels. Our civil wars are at least political factionalism and not open combat.
A first step is to get rid of Civil Service Unions. An association that helps employees with issues is one thing but a union that negotiates for salaries and benefits against the public taxpayers is wrong.
Everything this gentleman said about California is why I left years ago.
The Belgians are LEFTIST cowards.
We shouldn't forget President Wilson's part in creating the bureaucracy
I absolutely love the independent media. Otherwise, we would never know what's going on in this country. And what is going on is a sin
Hello! If you want to exchange cryptocurrency for any currency, for example, for the Czech crown, then I recommend this service to you https://b2.cash/exchange/btc-czk/. The advantage is that the exchange is carried out only at its office. You can calculate the approximate fee in advance, discuss all the details with the manager, and then come to the office to make a deal. It's reliable, legal and safe.
This is the future that you and I have seen, and I am amazed at the stupidity of people who are trying their best to avoid it. Maybe some people are just not ready to accept something new because they are afraid of risks? Then how come some people started investing in crypto in the first place? I think that thanks to apps like SingularityDAO, investing can become easier for experts and beginners alike. In any case, it makes my life much easier. I advise to browse the website of this application or read articles and reviews on medium.
Yes, this is the future that has already arrived and is developing at an incredible rate.

Thank you for calling out Canada, it has had many or more of the same hate laws as the UK and has more than a decade of extra-judicial penalties against speech or writing even by journalists. It has definitely chilled public discourse on some controversial topics.
the woman WANTED it to go viral. She was "smoletting". her mistake was accusing a man with a documented history of support for the left and the squad. NEVER would he have used Trump's words to express himself.
