1) Yikes! Gold Price Is Rising Again

This is NOT a good omen. Last week we mentioned that gold for the first time climbed above $3,000 an ounce. Now, it's at $3,160, an 8.9% rise in just the past month. This looks like a hedge against inflation and an investor flight to safety. Since the tariff debate began dominating the policy discussion, gold prices have incrementally risen.

We believe that these inflationary pressures will be relieved when Trump wins reciprocal trade concessions from our foreign competitors, and when Congress moves the Trump tax bill through Congress. So get going.

2) Yesterday's Special Elections Scorecard

On Tuesday, the Left had their first chance to register anger at Donald Trump and reverse some of the losses in last November's election.

The results were mixed. Republicans kept control of two Florida special elections for House seats, but Democratic candidates outperformed their normal performance, partly because of lackluster GOP candidates and because the Democrats raised significantly more money in both races.

Money also played a big role in the highly-publicized Wisconsin Supreme Court race between liberal Susan Crawford and conservative Brad Schimel. Even though they outspent Schimel, progressives and their media allies focused their closing arguments on the fact that Elon Musk had funded two groups that together spent some $10 million on the race.

What went largely unreported was that billionaire progressives like George Soros and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker flooded the race with money behind Crawford.

This outcome preserved the Democrats' 4-3 liberal majority on the Wisconsin court.

This could put in jeopardy former Governor Scott Walker's public employee union reforms that saved the state billions of dollars. That would be a giant setback for Wisconsin and we will join the fight to preserve those vital worker protections against union bosses.

Some good news on election integrity. 62% of Wisconsin voters approved adding the state's requirement for photo ID to vote in the state's Constitution. Photo ID only lost in liberal Madison (by 30 points) and Milwaukee (by just 2 points).

3) Grading State Pension Funds On ESG

As regular HOTLINE readers know, Unleash Prosperity has dominated the debate over ESG proxy voting by the big investment firms. The report which we began publishing three years ago and which is available at PensionPolitics.com has moved these firms dramatically away from ESG nonsense.

Our newest report grades the state pension funds on how they vote on ESG shareholder resolutions. These funds control trillions of dollars of shares of stock.

We wanted to score all 50 states, but most states refused to provide us with data. In the chart below, the best states are on the left and the worst states on the right.

State financial officers with oversight of these pension funds have a fiduciary obligation to earn the highest risk adjusted return possible. But our report finds that many state-run public pension funds are supporting radical activist proposals - which are often hostile to company and shareholder interests.

The New York Post covered our latest findings, and noted that US Rep. Andy Barr has proposed legislation that would require pension funds to invest solely based on financial objectives.

4) Another Tariff Victory For Trump: Israel Eliminates Tariffs On US Goods

We know Trump's tariff strategy is controversial, but here's a big Trump win for freer and fairer trade and a model for the rest of the world.

Was that really so hard? Now to get the rest of the world with the program.

5) Climate Craziness Would Eliminate Air Travel – Except for the "Privileged"

Airbus is planning to fly its future planes on sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), which will add an expensive "green premium" to air fares. Britain will require all carriers to use 10% SAF by 2030.

Vanessa Hudson, the CEO of Australia's flag carrier Qantas, warns that these green mandates could mean air travel becomes "so expensive that it's something for the privileged.....I don't want to see that."

SAF, which is mostly derived from used cooking oil, costs three to five times as much as jet fuel. But it is the only realistic way to achieve net zero carbon emissions for planes.

In 1960, as jet planes to Europe were introduced, the cost of the cheapest round-trip ticket from New York to London was $454, which is roughly $5,038 in today's dollars. Technology and demand have kept the price roughly the same, or about one-tenth of the cost of what it was 65 years ago.

It would be tragic if one of the hallmarks of rising middle-class living standards - affordable air travel for more and more people - became sacrificed on the altar of global warming.
