AVE MARIA UNIVERSITY Tom Monaghan A trailblazer in Catholic higher education
  • Thomas Monaghan is the founder and chancellor for Ave Maria University. He is known as a wildly successful entrepreneur, the founder of Domino’s Pizza, an avid collector of Frank Lloyd Wright items and the former owner of the Detroit Tigers. If his story stopped there, he might seem to fit in with other savvy entrepreneurs whose hard work and ingenuity paid off. But his greatest personal achievements came later in life, when Tom decided to fully immerse himself in charitable works, Catholic philanthropy and the call to restore Catholic higher education.
  • After divesting himself of all of the responsibilities and lavish distractions from a life of success, Tom set out to build America’s newest Catholic university, in an age buffeted by moral crises and anti-Christian sentiment.
6:19am POTUS HAD HIS LET THEM EAT CAKE MOMENT
  • In his arrogant way he just said the wrong thing.
  • I know what he meant to say but that’s not what came out.
  • He was asked about Americas’ financial situations and he said “no, not for a second”.
  • This was the man elected to Make America Great Again and that includes Americans.
  • This is May of 2026, by now the trillions in investments there should be factories being built and thousands of young men working in them.
HOME PRICES HEADLINE: There Are 630,000 More Home Sellers Than Buyers—the Biggest Gap on Record by Lily Katz
  • There were an estimated 46.5% more home sellers than buyers in the U.S. housing market in April, down from 47.5% the month before and a high of 48.9% in December 2025. It’s still very much a buyer’s market, but it’s no longer a strengthening buyer’s market.
  • There were an estimated 1 million homebuyers in the market in April, up 2% from March—the largest increase in 13 months. Meanwhile, there were an estimated 1.5 million sellers in the market, up 1.3% month over month. While that’s the largest increase in a year, it’s still smaller than the increase in buyers, which is why the gap between buyers and sellers is shrinking.
CRUDE OIL
  • Crude oil, there will be none to ship in July.
  • In other words, we will refine crude oil into gas and diesel but not enough left over to put in containers to do oil changes.
  • What is the primary ingredient that goes into making the synthetic oil?

6:38am CONFEDERATE STATUES IN LOUISIANA HEADLINE: Louisiana could put removed Confederate monuments on display at state parks by Julie O’Donoghue
  • State lawmakers are considering a proposed law that would transfer any “historical statue or monument” owned by a government and removed from a public display on or after Aug. 1, 2006, to the Office of State Parks.
  • The first question is does the city of New Orleans OWN these statues?
  • In all of these cases, these statues were DONATED to the city of New Orleans.
  • Robert E Lee used to be in that round about now its just a tall weird thing with lots of homeless people around it.
  • The Daughters of the Confederacy donated these statues.
  • They could sue the city and take these statues back and then donate them to the State Park Service.
  • The Office of State Parks, run by the lieutenant governor, would be required to relocate the monument to a place that could be accessed by the public, according to House BIll 1215. Its new location could not be in the same parish where the monument originally stood.
  • Three of the four Confederate monuments New Orleans removed that year still sit in city-owned storage, said Nungesser, who worked with Bayham on the bill. 
  • The legislation, sponsored by state Rep. Mike Bayham, R-Chalmette, passed the Louisiana House of Representatives on a 78-14 vote last week. The Louisiana Senate must also approve the proposal for it to become law.
  • The city could just release them to the Confederate Cemetery in Tangipahoa, Camp Moore. They could be placed there if the city of New Orleans will never place them out in public.
6:46am* LSU AND NEW COACH KIFFIN
  • He made some really stupid comments on race and Ole Miss and LSU being more ‘diverse’ than Ole Miss.
  • He has NO IDEA about the history here in South Louisiana.
HEADLINE: Louisiana Tigers During the Civil War by Teresa Parker
  • Louisiana’s Confederate infantry forces were a part of the Army of Northern Virginia and were commonly known as the Louisiana Tigers. The nickname originated with one New Orleans volunteer unit and, due to a combination of fierce fighting and notorious actions, came to encompass a six-company Louisiana battalion. Ultimately, the entirety of the state’s foot soldiers in the Civil War’s eastern theater came to be known as the Louisiana Tigers.
  • These locally organized groups of roughly one hundred men each—in units bearing such names as the Carondelet Invincibles, Atchafalaya Guards, and Pelican Greys—mustered into service as the battalions and regiments of foot soldiers that, by the end of the war, were collectively known as the Louisiana Tigers.
  • Civil War-era Louisiana saw the formation of several units associated with the predatory big cat, groups such as the Calcasieu Tigers and the Rapides Tigers. Yet a New Orleans-based company has the most direct lineage to the Louisiana Tiger brigade: the Tiger Rifles. Raised by Kentuckian Alexander White, the company included dozens of dockworkers and deckhands, many hailing from Ireland and White’s home state upriver, as well as several reported felons.  Only two native Louisianans—identified in census records as “mulatto”—appeared on the company rolls. Members embellished their hats with slogans such as “Tiger Found for Happy Land,” “Lincoln’s Life or a Tiger’s Death,” and “Tiger in Search of a Black Republican,” according to local newspapers.
6:49am* AUDIO/VIDEO: President Donald Trump Answering Reporters Questions – To what extent are Americans’ financial situations motivating you to make a deal with Iran? – Not even a little bit. The only thing that matters when I’m talking about Iran is they can’t have a nuclear weapon. I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation. I don’t think about anybody but one thing, we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon, that is the only thing that motivates me.
  • When he repeats it, there is an element of arrogance.
  • I understand what he MEANT to say, don’t get me wrong, it just didn’t come out that way and it looks and sounds horrible.
6:53am WHO IS TRAVELING WITH POTUS TO CHINA?
  1. Elon Musk, Tesla and SpaceX CEO
  2. Jensen Huang, Nvidia CEO
  3. Tim Cook, Apple CEO
  4. Larry Fink, BlackRock CEO
  5. Stephen Schwarzman, Blackstone CEO
  6. Kelly Ortberg, Boeing CEO
  7. Brian Sikes, Cargill CEO
  8. Jane Fraser, Citigroup CEO
  9. Larry Culp, General Electric CEO
  10. David Solomon, Goldman Sachs CEO
  11. Sanjay Mehrotra, Micron CEO
  12. Cristiano Amon, Qualcomm CEO
  • President Trump also says there are “many other” CEOs joining him on the trip who have not yet been disclosed.
  • What is the idea?
  • Why are you asking China to open up?
  • Did you know China has been busy investing money in Brazil. You know what they are making in Brazil? Electric cars.

TRUMP JUST TOUCHED DOWN IN CHINA AUDIO/VIDEO:  President Donald Trump Answering Reporters QuestionsTo what extent are Americans’ financial situations motivating you to make a deal with Iran? – Not even a little bit. The only thing that matters when I’m talking about Iran is they can’t have a nuclear weapon. I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation. I don’t think about anybody but one thing, we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon, that is the only thing that motivates me. AUDIO/VIDEO: President Donald Trump Answering Reporters Questions – Ballroom Price Has Doubled – We have a ballroom that is under budget. It’s going up right here. I doubled the size of it because we obviously need that. I doubled the size of it you dumb person. I doubled the size. You are not a smart person. Based on a lot of things that have happened over the last year we doubled the size. The ballroom is ahead of schedule and a little bit under budget.
7:19am AUDIO/VIDEO: Farm Action  Trump is reportedly planning a massive handout to two Brazilian billionaires at the expense of American ranchers. Meet the Batista brothers. They own JBS, the largest meatpacking company in the world. Their rise was fueled by rampant corruption, bribery, and fraud.
  • Why are we buying meat from another country?
  • Why aren’t we buying locally sourced meat?
  • We do have cattle farmers here in this country, lots of them.
  • PRIME Act from Thomas Massie –
RISING PRICES 72% up energy prices 52% up gas prices
  • Add 1/3 to this, add 30% to that and you are just supposed to say “Yeah MAGA”?
  • It doesn’t make any practical sense.

7:50am CHARLES LINDEBERGH HEADLINE: Charles Lindbergh Lights the Way by Andrew Day
  • In January 1941, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in his annual address to Congress, painted Lindbergh and his America First Committee as soft-headed preachers of appeasement who “would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests.”
  • Roosevelt didn’t refer to Lindbergh by name in that speech, but everyone knew who he had in mind. And three months later, Roosevelt confirmed their suspicions during a press conference, categorizing Lindbergh himself among the appeasers and defeatists of American history. Other political leaders maligned him as pro-Nazi, antisemitic, and un-American.
  • Though Lindbergh supported the war effort after Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor—even flying on combat missions in the Pacific and shooting down a Japanese fighter—his reputation never fully recovered.
  • In 2004, the author Philip Roth published The Plot Against America, an alternative history in which Lindbergh defeats Roosevelt in the 1940 presidential election, allies with Nazi Germany, and unleashes an epidemic of antisemitism in America. The novel was adapted into an HBO miniseries in 2020 that received critical acclaim.
  • By villainizing Lindbergh, political and media elites have also weaponized him. The playbook is straightforward: Whenever an antiwar conservative gets out of line, just call him a modern-day Lindbergh, whose very name has become synonymous with Hitler fan.
  • They did the same thing to Senator Joseph R McCarthy aka Tail Gunner Joe.
  • I’m only scratching the surface here.
  • If you want the real story of Joseph McCarthy, read the book Blacklisted by History by M. Stanton Evans.
  • The Venona Papers – there were communist in Hollywood, they were semites and they were working with the Russians.
  • He was asked “Who is responsible for changing our national policy from one of neutrality and independence to one of entanglement in European affairs?”
  • In which he answered “The three most important groups who have been pressing this country toward war are the British, the Jewish, and the Roosevelt administration.”
Excerpt from that speech – It is not difficult to understand why Jewish people desire the overthrow of Nazi Germany. The persecution they suffered in Germany would be sufficient to make bitter enemies of any race. No person with a sense of the dignity of mankind can condone the persecution of the Jewish race in Germany. But no person of honesty and vision can look on their pro-war policy here today without seeing the dangers involved in such a policy both for us and for them. Instead of agitating for war, the Jewish groups in this country should be opposing it in every possible way for they will be among the first to feel its consequences.

AUDIO/VIDEO: Volkswagen Feeling Carefree Commercial
8:21am BACK TO ANDREW DAY ARTICLE
  • What increasingly cannot be denied is that America today is at war on behalf of a foreign nation. Israel and its American loyalists—a group, by the way, that includes (non-Jewish) Christian Zionists and arguably Trump himself—have inflated the Iranian threat, inserted poison pills into peace negotiations, downplayed the difficulty of toppling the Islamic Republic, smeared antiwar voices as antisemites, and agitated relentlessly for a war that was intended to defang Israel’s chief adversary but instead has accelerated America’s relative decline.
8:24am THE GOLDEN CORRIDOR https://www.presstv.ir/doc/Detail/2026/02/18/764305/Golden-Corridor-
  • If you want to learn what is really going on in the Middle East with ALL countries involved, watch this documentary.
  • Pepe Escobar travels to Iran to study the North-South Corridor, designed not only to boost Iran–Russia trade but also to unlock unique economic opportunities for many other countries.
  • You follow Pepe around and the whole thing is shot in Iran and you can see the people are civilized not what our MSM would have you believe.
  • Educate yourself on Iran and its people before you just promote the annihilation of an entire civilization.
AUDIO/VIDEO: Senator Lindsey Graham Iran Conflict & Military Budget Hearing – Is Pakistan Truly An Ally? – I don’t trust Pakistan as far as I can throw ‘em. If they actually do have Iranian aircraft parked in Pakistani airbases…that tells me we should be looking, maybe for somebody else to mediate. No wonder this damn thing is going nowhere. So you know, I appreciate all you have done, I am very supportive of it but when it comes to Pakistan and China, I’ve had enough of it.
  • I have a question Mr Graham. How did the Iranian military get an aircraft to park in Pakistan? POTUS told us their Air Force was obliterated. What military assets could the Iranians be trying to protect?

COFFEE QUESTIONS – 1. BEER – Porter, Stout or Lager? 2. How long will the Iran war go on?
8:47am HEADLINE: Iran Specifies 5 Demands To Restart Peace Talks With US via ZeroHedge  
  1. Ending the war on all fronts, including Lebanon
  2. Lifting all sanctions
  3. Releasing frozen Iranian assets
  4. Compensation for war damages and losses
  5. Recognition of Iran’s sovereign rights over the Strait of Hormuz
Benjamin Netanyahu 60 Minute Interview – AUDIO/VIDEO: Megyn Kelly Clip of Benjamin Netanyahu I can easily paint anyone as a monster. If I say it over and over again, people will believe me.
8:50am AUDIO/VIDEO: Senator Lisa Murkowski Iran Conflict & Military Budget Hearing – War Powers Resolution – I have been talking about an authorization of use of military force. I understand this administration has made clear they belive the actions taken so far fall under the Presidents Article 2 authority. The War Powers Resolution is pretty clear here. 60 days absent the Congress authority. That 60 day clock expired on April 28th and then on the 1st the administration sent letters stating the hostility has ended. We still have 15,000 troops forward deployed, more than 20 war ships in an active naval blockade, CENTCOM redirected more than 61 commercial vessels, disabled tankers…in other words it doesn’t appear hostilities have ended. Has this administration considered seeking authorization from Congress? I am getting tired of all of this. It clearly says 60 days…not 6 years.
8:53am SPECIAL GUEST MAHGDALEN ROSE Political Affairs Contributor Follow her on X – @MahgdalenRose AUDIO/VIDEO: President Donald Trump Answering Reporters Questions – To what extent are Americans’ financial situations motivating you to make a deal with Iran? – Not even a little bit. The only thing that matters when I’m talking about Iran is they can’t have a nuclear weapon. I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation. I don’t think about anybody but one thing, we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon, that is the only thing that motivates me.
  • People don’t believe in this war and what he is doing to Thomas Massie is really angering the American people.
  • No one cares, the lack of respect is mounting.
  • Who is the #1 sought after person is for Muslims? It is Tucker Carlson because they view him as a rational person. And they support him with energy.
  • Yesterday Thomas Massie introduced a bill, this is Ron Pauls old bill really but to End the Federal Reserve. It had 2.5 million views.
  • Young Republicans have just turned from anything related to the Federal Government.
  • If Thomas Massie loses this primary, it will be a complete catastrophe for people in this coalition.
  • He is very popular in his district but can he truly lose this primary?
  • Who turns out for primaries? That may be the only thing that gives the guy a chance because that turn out is mainly old people.
  • That guy has specifically targeted older voters and that is what makes him so dangerous.
  • If it is over 15% turnout, Massie will prevail.
  • If I am Thomas Massie, if I lose, I go register as an Independent and declare. He will win that seat. He won 82-18 last time.
IRAN WAR TIMELINE
  • I don’t think Trump is calling the shots here.
  • I think he thinks…listen to this first.
AUDIO/VIDEO: President Donald Trump Answering Reporters Questions – RedistrictingWell, I think it’s been a wonderful process. The Democrats, or as I call them the Dumacrats, because they’re dumb in so many ways. They’ve redistricted for years, and now we took our shot, and it looks like we’re going to pick up a lot of seats, and that’s a good thing. We want voters to have their choice. We want fair voting. We want fair elections. The Democrats have been cheating on elections for many years and all we’re doing is winning.
  • This should scare everyone.
  • I think Donald Trump has a role in it ending but in charge of it ending? Not at all.
  • This is so big and when you have another country like Israel involved in a conflict you can’t unilaterally end it.
9:01am CEO’S WITH TRUMP IN CHINA
  • I think it is all about intimidation.
  • I think he gets jealous of their system that like everyone loves the president of China.
  • He loves the universal adoration the communist countries put on display.
  • When he goes to China he always remarks everyone loves you!
  • Why Elon?
  • No Chinese is going to buy a Tesla.
  • They certainly won’t allow low orbit satellites over China either.
  • Elon brings a cache, it makes people stand up and pay attention.
  • The Boeing CEO, the Blackstone CEO they just don’t make sense.
HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW WHAT A D.I.N.K.S. IS? DINK’s = Dual Income, No Kids
  • DINK refers to households with two working partners who have no children, allowing for higher disposable income, increased financial flexibility, and more freedom for travel and hobbies. Trending on social media, this lifestyle often focuses on career growth, luxury experiences, and, for many, pet ownership (DINKWADs: with a dog).
