They say pictures are worth a thousand words. Well, beyond that level, what does a picture of a headline say?
Think about how many actual people had to be involved in printing this?
NATO stands for North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
Trump's Liberation Day revolution one year later: 178,000 new jobs, trade deficit down 55%, and the Atlantic admits America has "gone rogue" from their liberal world order. What they call rogue, we call independence.

One year after Liberation Day, the results are in — and they're exactly what President Trump promised. Susan Kokinda breaks down the blowout March jobs report (178,000 new jobs vs. 60,000 expected), the 55% drop in the trade deficit, and the hard manufacturing data showing American industry is expanding for the first time in decades, proving that Trump's break from the British free trade system is working. She then turns to the strategic front, where neocon architect Robert Kagan inadvertently confessed in The Atlantic that eighty years of American wars in the Middle East were never about our security — they were about enforcing the "liberal world order" — and where Trump's questioning of NATO membership is cracking the imperial architecture wide open. From China's view of Trump as the "least hawkish person in Washington" to Putin's economic diplomacy with Egypt, a new world of sovereign nations making sovereign deals is emerging in real time. What the establishment calls "going rogue," Kokinda argues, is simply what independence looks like — and with midterms less than nine months away, the fight to secure it is just beginning.
We went to the moon and then walked away. For fifty years, something broke. This episode reveals why—and why Artemis marks the return of American civilization’s true destiny.

For fifty years, we almost forgot why we went.
After Apollo 17 in 1972, humanity walked away from the moon — not because we couldn’t return, but because something changed. The vision collapsed. The ambition faded. The future was traded for managed decline.
But now, for the first time in over half a century, we are going back.
In this Promethean Overview, we break down the rise, fall, and return of America’s space program — from the triumph of Apollo to the ideological forces that shut it down, and the new convergence of technology, leadership, and mission that is driving Artemis today.
This is a story about more than rockets.
It’s about civilization itself — what causes it to rise, what causes it to retreat, and what it takes to choose the future again.

Sky News economics and data editor Ed Conway presents a fantastic look at how the issue with the Strait of Hormuz has impacted the global distribution of energy, oil, LNG and Kerosene (jet fuel), with particular emphasis on the vulnerabilities of the “modern industrialized western nations.”
Conway never points the finger to the “net zero” carbon goals of Europe, the U.K and Australia. However, he shows the outcome of their dependence on production and refining by other non-participating nations. The timelines clearly show, as the Green Energy policies were pushed the vulnerability inherent within any supply shock begins to get worse. This is a very well-presented data-driven analysis that is worth watching.
The last two-minutes also shred the claims by EU and British leadership, and highlights how Europe and the U.K are now dependent on the United States to meet their energy needs. WATCH:

The Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) has released the March employment report [DATA HERE] reflecting gains of 186,000 private sector jobs, with another 8,000 federal government jobs eliminated. Net gain 178,000 jobs.
Forecasters had anticipated around 63,000 net jobs gained: the actual result triples expectations.
This is a challenging time to use data to estimate overall employment strength, mainly due to the repatriation efforts underway that are removing illegal alien workers from the labor force.
As deportation efforts continue against the black-market workforce, in combination with targeting efforts toward fraudulent ‘mismatched’ social security records used to gain unlawful -albeit visible- market employment, it becomes challenging to quantify net realized job gains.
The overall goal is to remove the illegal alien workers, reestablish organic job market pressures to increase wages and pull American workers from the sidelines back into the labor market. Removing illegal workers drives up real wages, that should (re)incentivize the labor market. As these efforts continue, we are seeing wide variances, upward and downward swings, depending on the collection timing.
One of the positive aspects during this employment cycle is the reduction in the overall federal labor force. Overall, in the past year, President Trump has removed 271,000 federal jobs more than reversing all of the govt jobs added during Joe Biden’s term in office. This trend should continue.
(Via CBS) – Employers added 178,000 jobs in March, blowing past forecasts as job market rebounds. The March employment report beat consensus economic forecasts of 60,000 payroll gains last month, according to FactSet.
The unemployment rate dipped to 4.3% in March, down from 4.4% in the prior month.
The latest payroll gains mark a sharp reversal from February, when employers unexpectedly cut jobs amid signs of a slowing labor market. Friday’s report revised the reduction to 133,000, far larger than the 92,000 originally reported. February’s weak numbers were partially due to strikes in the health care industry and winter storms.
