Saving America

Week In Review 2_21_26

• Democrats have just revealed their true colors in grotesque fashion by opposing the SAVE Act – a bill that requires proof of citizenship and ID to vote.
• The January jobs report just dropped, and I'm left scratching my head. Last month, ADP reported a dismal 22,000 new private sector jobs. But now, the Bureau of Labor Statistics is claiming a robust 130,000 gain! Who do we believe?
• America's public schools are facing a monumental crisis, and a new report from the Reason Foundation just laid out the shocking truth. We're spending more money than ever, yet student outcomes are plummeting.
• The recent kidnapping of Nancy Guthrie, mother of beloved Today host Savannah Guthrie, has sent shockwaves across the nation.
• A horrific school shooting in a small British Columbia village has left a community shattered and raised urgent questions about mental health support for teens.
• While the slaughter of Christians in Nigeria often makes headlines, a recent attack by Islamic terrorists highlights a brutal truth: moderate Muslims are also targets.
• Mary Elizabeth Jackson (internationally bestselling author, podcaster, and advocate for special needs kids) joins me to chat about her work with Autism TN, her podcasts Writers Corner Live and Cover to Cover, and her tips on how to write a successful book.
• It seems like every week, another major company is announcing mass closures. First Kroger, and now, even Wendy's is joining the trend, planning to shut down hundreds of its 6,000 locations!
• Weekly, my newsfeeds are flooded with alarming reports from England, France, and Germany, detailing horrific crimes, often against young girls, with perpetrators frequently coming from specific backgrounds. It raises a critical question: Can Western culture survive?
• GLP-1 drugs have been hailed as a miracle for obesity and type 2 diabetes, with prices dropping and pill forms on the horizon. But a shocking new study out of Australia is sounding the alarm: could these weight-loss wonders be contributing to a return of scurvy?
• Is software code a “person” or “property?” The U.S. Treasury thought so when they sanctioned Tornado Cash, but a landmark appeals court ruling flipped the script.
• The Department of Justice's new “interim final rule” for the Board of Immigration Appeals (the BIA) is a game-changer. Despite my tough stance on illegal immigration, I'm a fierce advocate for legal pathways, and this new rule (effective March 2026) will summarily dismiss many legitimate appeals, reducing deadlines from 30 days to a mere 10, eliminating full briefings, and dramatically lowering success rates for immigrants already vetted for criminal behavior. Is this truly about efficiency, or is it a 'hammer approach' denying legal immigrants their day in court?
• David Baumblatt is a soldier turned government agent turned whistleblower and expat – and now, he’s not welcome back in the United States.
• Another 90 days. The tariff truce with China is extended, but our dependence on Chinese goods continues. Time to put America First and buy American!
• Disturbing reports of ICE agents & federal officers ambushed in Texas while enforcing immigration law. This violence against law enforcement is unacceptable and won't be tolerated.
