The GOP midterm convention witnessed an unprecedented turnout of over 100 million viewers, marking a significant shift in political momentum as polls indicate surprising competitiveness in traditionally Democrat strongholds like Minnesota.

Five states have quietly built what amounts to an exit tax on homeowners trying to leave - and six more are drafting their version right now. New Jersey has been running this play for 22 years. Massachusetts pulled in $5.7 billion in three years. Washington just signed its first state income tax since 1932 - and it follows former residents across state lines. Kalifornia's Billionaire Tax Act has a retroactive trigger date that is already behind us. New York is pushing an estate tax change that would cut the homeowner exemption by nearly 90%. This is not a partisan issue.
TALLAHASSEE, Florida (PNN) - September 2, 2026 - Florida's Department of Transportation ordered all automated license plate readers removed from state highway rights-of-way within 30 days, citing data privacy violations and law enforcement misconduct. Governor Ron DeSantis endorsed the move as necessary to prevent a "digital AI surveillance state," a decision that follows similar action taken last week by Texas Governor Greg Abbott's regime. Texas's decision came after a Lufkin police officer was indicted on 100 felony counts for allegedly searching Flock Safety's database to track people without authorization. Flock's network includes an estimated 120,000 to 130,000 license plate readers nationwide, depending on the source.

August 8, 2026 - Some politically charged words become part of our common vocabulary almost overnight. “Globalism” is a timely example. Ten or fifteen years ago, calling someone a “globalist” didn’t have much effect. Today, it is well understood as a pejorative that highlights someone’s allegiance to international institutions over those created within a nation state.
LUBBOCK, Texas (PNN) - August 6, 2026 - A federal judge ruled on Wednesday that the registration and approval requirements for suppressors, short-barreled rifles and short-barreled shotguns in the National Firearms Act (NFA) are unconstitutional.
Catherine Austin Fitts, Publisher of The Solari Report, about why the fight over CBDCs may be a distraction from a bigger threat: stablecoins, digital tokens and programmable money. Fitts warns that while CBDCs are often presented as the ultimate tool of financial control, the U.S. may be moving toward a public-private model that she says could be “much more terrifying” because of reduced accountability.
Donald Trump, running for office, said, “No more wars.” Joe Biden said, “It’s time to end the forever war.” Both got us involved in foreign wars. So did presidents before them. Every president since Clinton attacked another country. That's why Matt Taibbi writes, "We are doomed and our leaders are insane." Despite promises on the campaign trail, "not one of our presidents can resist starting wars.” Obama was elected after he promised to roll back the War on Terror. He was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize after only 8 months in office.
