Walmart And Target Are Really Jacking Up Their Prices

by Michael Snyder, The Economic Collapse Blog:

Are you ready to pay 80 percent more for a USB-C cord?  Unfortunately, Walmart, Target and other major retailers have decided to start dramatically raising the prices of thousands of imported products.  Of course our paychecks are not going up dramatically as well, and so our standard of living is going to go down. We live at a time when 70 percent of Americans are already more financially stressed than they have ever been before, and now big corporations are going to be hitting us with a tsunami of enormous price hikes.

General Flynn Says James Comey Should “Get Measured For An Orange Jumpsuit”

by Sean Adl-Tabatabai, The Peoples Voice:

General Flynn appeared on The Alex Jones Show on Friday where he gave his take on former-FBI Director James Comey’s threat against President Trump via Instagram,

He said the Deep State thug will be “the first target” to be arrested by the 47th President’s administration: “He’s not going to get away with this”

He then went on to say that Comey “ought to go to the tall man’s shop, get measured for an orange jumpsuit because he’s going to go to prison whether he likes it or not. The only thing he can do is maybe cut a deal and lessen his sentence.”

Germany: Covid ‘Vaccine’ Deaths Are Surging Across Europe

by Frank Bergman, Slay News:

Germany has just issued an alert after recording surges in non-Covid deaths across Europe among people who received mRNA “vaccines.”

The alarming findings were revealed following an investigation into skyrocketing excess deaths, which spiked globally after the Covid “vaccines” were rolled out for public use in early 2021.

The major peer-reviewed study was conducted by Dr. Günter Kampf of the University Medicine Greifswald in Germany and Maarten Fornerod of the Erasmus Medical Center in the Netherlands.

American Pravda: Father Charles Coughlin

by Ron Unz, The Unz Review:

Over the last couple of months President Donald Trump and his administration have launched a series of outrageous attacks against American freedom of speech and academic freedom, and critics have often denounced these as examples of McCarthyism, the notorious anti-Communist political movement of the 1950s.

This prompted me to carefully investigate that important historical topic and publish a trilogy of long articles on the subject:

Trump should not threaten new sanctions when he talks to President Putin

by Ian Proud, Strategic Culture:

The U.S. side has made various signals that it might impose massive new sanctions on Russia unless the war ends soon. This would be a huge mistake that would lock in the fighting for the rest of the year and leave Europe on the hook for a massive bill and political disruption that it cannot afford. Trump should not threaten Putin with sanctions when they talk on Monday 19 May.

In the run up to the Russia-Ukraine bilateral peace talks which finally took place in Istanbul last week, both the EU and the UK imposed new sanctions on Russia. On 9 May, as Russian commemorated victory Day, Britain imposed sanctions on Russia’s shadow fleet and the EU followed suit with its 17th package of Russia sanctions on 14 May, the day before the Istanbul talks were due to start. Both the UK and EU have threatened further sanctions should Russia not agree a full and unconditional ceasefire in Ukraine and, with Zelensky, have actively urged the U.S. to follow suit, which it has not done, so far. However, the Americans have spoken increasingly about the possibility of massive new sanctions against Russia: this would be a huge mistake.

Proof Democrats Are A Cult And Their Accusations Are Just Projections Of Their Own Cultish Behavior, While Aided And Abetted By Media Propaganda

by Susan Duclos, All News Pipeline:

Over the years since then-candidate Donald Trump rode down an escalator and announced he was running for president of the united States, we have seen liberal media personalities, pundits and Democrat operatives, be in politicians or just media mouthpieces for Democrats, accusing “MAGA” (Make America Great Again) supporters of being a cult.

From Psychology Today to Huffington Post to MSNBC, any many many more, we have consistently seen this reference, yet in looking at what a “cult” is defined as, we note that once again Democrats seem to be projecting their own mentality onto others.

Britannica: cult, usually small group devoted to a person, idea, or philosophy.

Nordic Countries Lead Cashless Revolution

by Martin Armstrong, Armstrong Economics:

Nordic nations have been leading the cashless society revolution. Masked as a manner of efficiency, digital transactions are not demanded by governments globally as they seek to rake in all money off the grid for taxation purposes.

Sweden is nearly a cashless society, with less than 2% of transactions occurring in physical currency as of 2020. Some estimates believe cash transactions have risen to 10% as of 2025, but it is becoming less commonplace. Swish transfer, launched in 2012, is a mobile payment system that enables users to transfer money in real-time. Accounts are linked to bank accounts, and transactions are authorized by Mobile BankID. As of February 2025, Swish had over 9 million users with 8.9 million private accounts and 318,000 business accounts. Only 10.5 million people currently live in Sweden.

GAETZ ON WAR ROOM: ‘We Cannot Be Tolerant of This Judicial Coup’ and ‘We Have to Thoroughly Reject Unconstitutional, Nationwide Injunctions’

by James Rose, The Gateway Pundit:

On Wednesday, May 14, former US Congressman Matt Gaetz visited Steve Bannon’s War Room studio for a scintillating, twenty minute interview. Gaetz skillfully unloaded on the alarming, unchecked powers of the US federal judiciary, aiming to dictate US foreign policy, and usurp the Trump Administration.

“The one place the elitists have got us cornered out is the judiciary. We have been building our populist movement. We’ve got populist energy in the Congress. We’ve got our few populist Senators – Vance, Hawley, Braun, and Rick Scott. You can get a populist president,” Matt Gaetz told Steve Bannon on Wednesday

by Elizabeth Weibel, Breitbart:

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is on the brink of “chaos” in the aftermath of the DNC moving forward with a process to oust gun control activist and Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting survivor David Hogg as vice chair.

Officials in the DNC have reportedly found “themselves in a war of words over the issues at play” in the aftermath of the DNC’s credentials committee 13-2 vote to void the election results from February in which Hogg and Pennsylvania state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta (D) were elected to serve as co-vice chairmen of the committee, the Hill reported.
