She's made up her mind to live pretty smart, learn to budget responsibly right from the start. She spends a little less, inputs more into savings. Keeps her blood pressure low and credit score raises. She's cutting debt right out of her life. She tracks her cash flow on her spreadsheet at night. Boring money moves make kinda lame songs, but they sound pretty sweet to your wallet. The NC bank, brilliantly boring since 1865.

Here's what's happening this week in America. Penalty eliminated, planning an attack not fast enough. And Cracker Barrel rebrand. It's all coming up. Then Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, the New York Court of Appeals throughout the almost half a billion billion fraud penalty. This is the Tish James civil fraud penalty. The five judge panel found the punishment to be excessive. Back when this amount was first announced, Tish James, the attorney general of New York wrote four just on Twitter. This is all she wrote, $464,576,230.62. Donald Trump Jr. Just wrote back. I believe you mean zero dollars. The panel wrote the court's disgorgement order which directs that defendants pay nearly half a billion dollars to the state of New York is an excessive fine that violates the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution. That is the part that has cruel and unusual punishment in there. Amazing. Many articles have been written lately, New York Times included, about the administration planning to attack inside Mexico against the cartels. General Gu, he is the commander of northcom, said in February that transnational criminal organizations based in Mexico continue to threaten U.S. sovereignty and territorial integrity through the production and trafficking of fentanyl and other illicit drugs and the facilitation of unlawful mass migration towards the US Southern border. That's an important statement because Mexico, of course, is going to say, oh, our sovereignty, our sovereignty. And there's our commander Northcom saying you don't have that anymore. Marco Rubio, our secretary of state just two weeks ago said we have to start treating them, the cartels, as armed terrorist organizations, not simply drug dealing organizations. Similar news, the Trump administration says that they are on pace to deport 400,000 illegal aliens this year. Right now they're averaging 1,500 deportations a day, 180,000 total so far. But this will be short even at this pace of the 1 million in, in the first year that they said they wanted. That's at least forced deportation. Self deportations are another story. The restaurant Cracker Barrel is in a bit of a pickle. They've gone through a big corporate rebrand and the CEO is getting destroyed. For 48 years, the logo has been exactly as you're imagining in your mind right now and it has been replaced with just corporate bland slop with no barrel and no Uncle Herschel. Even the inside of the restaurants, a restaurant that used to harken back to the old Southern general store, nostalgia, real wood giant fireplace. Now corporate bland, sterile and cold. She said on Good Morning America. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Well, stock prices have gone down 12%. I'm Mike Slater from Politics by Faith. Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day next.
