In April 2026, the promise of global connectivity has hit a jagged glass ceiling. Despite the rapid advancement of "smart airports," the commercial aviation industry is currently drowning under a backlog of 17,000 unfulfilled aircraft orders and a persistent shortage of senior pilots. For the average traveler, this means a "cascading delay" is no longer a rare event—it is a statistical certainty. The volatility has been heightened by recent world affairs. While a ceasefire ha

In a powerful episode of the Founder Podcast , host Joseph Bonner  sat down with teacher and researcher Sonia Michel  to discuss one of the most massive, yet often silent, crimes of the 20th century: the systematic theft of billions of dollars in art and property during World War II.

WASHINGTON  — The numbers are in, and they aren't what anyone wanted to see. On Tuesday, the Labor Department reported that wholesale prices jumped by 4% last month. This spike is being driven almost entirely by the ongoing conflict with Iran, which has sent energy costs through the roof. For the average person, this isn't just a graph on a screen; it’s the price of a gallon of milk or the cost of a commute. While the "demand destruction"—economist-speak for people simply bei

Facing growing unrest in the American heartland, President Trump announced a new $12 billion support package for US farmers today. The aid comes as the administration ramps up tariff threats against multiple trading partners, including India and Canada, which have led to retaliatory fears and falling commodity prices.

The US Supreme Court appeared ready on Monday to hand the Trump administration a significant legal victory that could fundamentally reshape the structure of the federal government. During oral arguments regarding the President's firing of a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) member, the court’s conservative majority signaled strong support for the "unitary executive" theory, which posits that the President should have the power to remove the heads of independent agencies at will.
