In today’s climate, it is vital to remain vigilant about how our government handles taxpayer money, especially when the figures are as staggering as those revealed by the recent audit of the Small Business Administration (SBA). An astonishing $544 million was identified as improperly paid out through the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant program, a fund designed to support businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. While the intentions behind such programs are noble—aiming to protect jobs and keep small businesses afloat—the execution exemplifies a system that is failing to serve the very citizens it intends to help. At a time when…
As we reflect on the increasing costs of mail delivery in America, we see the price of a forever stamp has surged from 39 cents in 2006 to a staggering 78 cents today. This price increase is not just a dollar-and-cent issue; it symbolizes a real erosion of service and a troubling reality that has become all too familiar in our daily lives. The U.S. Postal Service, once a cornerstone of American society, is not only becoming inefficient but is also on the verge of deeper crises, having reported losses of $6.5 billion in 2023. The irony is striking: while…
The recent comments and actions of Democrat candidate Zohran Mamdani raise significant concerns for the values we hold dear as proud, hardworking Americans over the age of 60. Mamdani, who has been vocal about his opposition to charter schools in New York City, highlights a troubling trend among leftist politicians — prioritizing their own interests and the interests of powerful unions over the educational needs of our children, particularly those from minority and working-class backgrounds. Mamdani’s own education at a prestigious private school, where tuition fees can soar upwards of $68,000, starkly contradicts his stance against charter schools that provide…
In today’s fast-paced media landscape, it is increasingly vital for Americans, especially those over 60, to discern the truth behind the headlines. A recent encounter between former Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler and independent journalist Mark Halperin exemplifies the disconnect between mainstream media narratives and the reality faced by everyday Americans. During this exchange, Kessler attempted to defend the Washington Post’s coverage of Joe Biden’s cognitive abilities, revealing a troubling priority within the press: instead of presenting an unbiased view, they focused more on combating conservative perspectives than on delivering honest reporting. This should resonate with our audience, as many…
In recent public statements, Nancy Pelosi has boldly reiterated her support for controversial “gender-affirming care” for minors, a position that has ignited significant backlash among hardworking American families.

For those of us over 60, it is troubling to witness a shift in societal norms that seems to ignore the simple truths we lived by for generations. Pelosi’s remarks reflect a disconnect from the majority of parents who are rightly concerned about the safety and well-being of their children. Most Americans…
In recent political discourse, a striking suggestion emerged from veteran Democrat strategist James Carville: the need for Democrats to add more states and pack the U.S. Supreme Court if they regain power in 2028. This proposal is not merely a strategic move; it signifies a troubling fundamental shift in the Democratic Party’s approach to governance that directly undermines the principles of democracy and fairness that many Americans, especially those who have worked hard all their lives, hold dear. Carville’s remarks underline a growing disdain among Democrats for the established norms of our constitutional system. His call to add Puerto Rico…
The transformation of El Salvador under President Nayib Bukele offers a powerful message of hope and resilience for hard-working Americans, particularly those over 60 who have witnessed their country undergo similar tumultuous changes.

In the past, El Salvador was plagued by violence and corruption, mirroring challenges that American communities know all too well. The influence of extremist gangs such as MS-13…

The landscape of American agriculture and its intersection with global politics is a pressing issue, especially for hard-working Americans over the age of 60. A recent article from Gateway Pundit discusses China’s food security strategy and its partnerships with Hispanic-American agricultural businesses. At first glance, this topic may seem distant, but it reflects very real threats to our national interests and economic stability that directly affect the livelihoods of blue-collar workers. As we consider the aging population of American farmers and ranchers, it becomes clear that maintaining food security is not just a strategic concern—it is a matter of protecting…
In today’s fast-paced world, many of us feel as if we are being pushed aside by a society that doesn’t value hard work, personal sacrifice, and the deep-rooted beliefs that have shaped our nation. The latest edition of The Gateway Pundit’s Week-in-Review underscores the issues plaguing our country, particularly the way the mainstream media, exemplified by figures like Rachel Maddow, continues to attack our values and, alarmingly, even our elected leaders.

In recent discussions concerning the upcoming census, GOP strategist Brad Todd confronted the theme of fairness and representation for red states, a subject that greatly resonates with many older, blue-collar Americans. His exchange on CNN highlighted a critical issue that often goes unnoticed amidst the chaos of today’s news cycle: the significant undercount of residents in red states during the 2020 census, which ultimately affects political representation and resource allocation. Under President Trump’s directive, a proposal has been made to initiate a new census that would exclude illegal aliens from counts, ensuring that only legal residents are represented. This move…

For hard-working Americans—especially those of us over 60 who have dedicated our lives to understanding the grit and resilience required to build and sustain freedom—this development is significant.
