Economic double standards have reached absurd heights. The latest inflation numbers came in at precisely 2.7% - exactly where analysts projected - yet headlines scream catastrophe over this modest 0.3% increase. Remember when 9-11% inflation was downplayed during the previous administration? The selective outrage is deafening.

Looking beyond the shallow headlines reveals a much more nuanced economic picture. Used vehicles saw substantial price declines in June. The energy sector reversed previous trends with a full 1% decrease from the prior month. Meanwhile, substantial positive developments receive minimal coverage - like the multi-decade agreement just signed between a major European energy...

Federal authorities descended on a California cannabis farm last week in what became the second-largest ICE operation in a single state in agency history. The raid at Glass House Farm in Ventura County led to the apprehension of 319 unlawful immigrants and, most significantly, the rescue of 14 children from potential forced labor and trafficking situations. Ten of these children were unaccompanied minors working at the marijuana production facility.

The operation has sparked intense debate between immigration enforcement supporters and critics. While ICE officials point to the rescue of exploited children and the removal of at least one worker...

HBO's adaptation of "The Last of Us" had us all invested in Joel Miller's journey through a fungal apocalypse - until they killed him off in Season 2. Was this faithful adaptation of the video game's storyline a critical misstep that could derail the entire series?

The magic of Season 1 came from how perfectly it translated the game's emotional core to television, creating a near shot-for-shot recreation of iconic moments while giving viewers time to connect with Joel. His complexity - a man whose protective rage is matched only by his capacity for empathy - made him the...

The destructive intersection of politics and American business has reached new heights with the emergence of what can only be described as "Tesla terrorism."
