The Rebirth of American Prosperity

The future looks bright for retirees under President Trump.
Discover how to execute the wealth-preserving measure he left open for you.

Trump’s sweeping economic reforms extended the historic 2017 tax cuts while implementing even deeper reforms for American workers. 

For retirees and those planning their golden years, this could mean more money in your pocket and unprecedented opportunities for wealth creation.

This economic shift brings both incredible opportunity and hidden risks for those with traditional retirement accounts such as 401(k), IRAs, and TSPs. 

The fatal flaw in traditional retirement vehicles relies on a stock market free of manipulation and economic crisis for you to benefit from its rise. 

However, a single untimely event is all it takes to destroy decades of your hard earned savings.

For Americans with traditional retirement accounts who want to thrive during President Trump’s economic transformation, pay close attention! 

A Trump approved wealth protection strategy puts the power in your hands to control the direction of your financial future. It is detailed in our 2026 Wealth Protection Guide [click here to download your copy for FREE]..

Inside this guide, you’ll discover a wealth saving IRS loophole that Trump fought hard to preserve. It allows you to move your retirement savings tax-free and penalty-free into a time-tested vehicle, free of chaos and market manipulation.

The window to act won’t stay open forever. Secure your FREE Wealth Protection Guide now and learn how to align your retirement vision with America’s bright future.

An easy choice for warm-weather sipping, brunch gatherings, or pairing with seafood, salads, and lighter fare.

About the Winery…founded in the heart of Austria’s Burgenland wine region near Lake Neusiedl, Weingut Leo Hillinger has grown from a small family operation into one of Austria’s leading organic wineries. Under the direction of winemaker and entrepreneur Leo Hillinger, the estate is known for combining sustainable vineyard practices with modern winemaking techniques to craft expressive, approachable wines that reflect their origin.

Today’s Night Prayer is brought to you by Rosary.com

A Night Prayer

Jesus Christ, my God, I adore You and thank You for all the graces You have given me this day. I offer You my sleep and all the moments of this night. I place myself and all my loved ones, wherever they may be, in Your sacred side and under the mantle of Our Blessed Mother. Let Your holy angels stand watch and keep us in peace. Amen.

Quote of the Day

“When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing near, he said to his mother, ‘Woman, behold, your son!’ Then he said to the disciple, ‘Behold, your mother!’ And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.” -John 19:26-27 

Today’s Meditation

“The saints flinch as instinctively as others when the cross comes along, but they do not allow their flinching to upset their perspectives. As soon as it becomes clear to them that this particular suffering is what God evidently wants suffered, they stop flinching. Their habitual state of surrender to God’s will has a steadying effect: they do not get stampeded into panic or despair or rebellion or defeat. After a while – sometimes only after a very long while – they find that the grace of suffering produces the opposite effect: instead of fear there is trust, instead of hopelessness there is hope, instead of revolt there is peace, instead of defeat there is the sense of the triumph of grace.” —Hubert Van Zeller, O.S.B., p. 6

Examination of Conscience

The daily examination of conscience is an ancient Catholic practice. It’s very simple, and it’s designed to help us identify our sins and weaknesses so that we can improve and grow stronger in the spiritual life, while providing an excellent ongoing preparation for regular Confession. It consists of taking a few minutes at the end of the day to prayerfully review our actions in the light of God’s commandments, followed by the Act of Contrition.

 Reflect on the victories and losses

Actively reflecting on the high and low points of the day can help you live more intentionally and bring a renewed sense of resolve into the following day.

• Review your actions, words, and thoughts today. Did you actively guard yourself against temptation? Where did sin creep in?
• In what moments did you practice virtue and moral courage?
• Were you attuned to the Holy Spirit’s promptings today? Where did you feel His inspiration?
• Ask Him for the graces necessary to follow His Will more purposefully tomorrow.

 Act of Contrition

O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Amen.

 Practice gratitude

It is God’s love that has brought you into existence and to this exact moment. Practice looking for His hand in your day. 

• Where did you feel His loving gaze upon you today?
• What people or moments helped you see God in your life?
• Thank God for all these moments!
• Ask Him to help you recognize His blessings and providence tomorrow.

 Renew your commitment to Christ

Remember: our Faith is founded upon a Person—Christ! Renew your personal love and devotion to Him.

• Thank God for the gift of His Son Jesus and our call to be His disciples.
• Tell the Lord of your desire to know Christ more personally.
• If possible, set an intention for your day tomorrow. Ask Our Lord to guide you in this act.
• Pray a Hail Mary, Our Father, or another beloved prayer.

Rest with God

He determines the number of the stars, He gives to all of them their names. — Psalm 147:4

Rehome the Hounds! We took our campaign to Westminster! 

CHARLOTTE SMITH

MAY 20READ IN APP

The hunting lobby is down to its last argument.

They can’t hide behind the smokescreen anymore. So now they’re hiding behind their hounds, claiming that if hunting is banned, every single one of their dogs will have to be shot in the head. That they’re unrehomable. That the blood will be on the hands of people who want to protect wildlife, not hunts. They are weaponising the very dogs they claim to love. Dogs they are already killing, quietly, routinely, every single year, because they are no longer useful.

We are not standing for it.

So, we went to Parliament. We spoke with MPs who are hearing this argument and we showed them, with evidence, with expertise, and with one very large and very loveable hound called Alfred, that everything the hunting lobby is claiming is a lie.

Rehome the Hounds

The Lie We Are Dismantling

When asked “what will happen to the hounds if hunting is banned?”, our answer is unflinching: what will happen is, sadly, already happening. A trail hunt ban does not seal these dogs’ fate. Hunts do. And that can change, the moment hunts choose mercy over convenience.

Laura Walker, founder of The Pack Project UK, stood before MPs and showed them, from lived experience, that rehoming hounds is not a fantasy. It is achievable. With phased rehoming programmes, with proper support, with approaches that other countries have already pioneered, these dogs can and do find loving homes.

Amelia Steele a behaviourist, an expert in rescue dogs, in greyhounds, in Spanish hunting breeds, gave MPs the scientific and practical credibility to understand that these dogs’ needs can be met. That behaviour can be supported. That adopters and rescues won’t be abandoned to figure it out alone if they take part in the Rehome the Hounds Pledge. 

And then there was Alfred.

One of a handful of hounds lucky enough to have been rescued, Alfred reminded everyone what this fight is for.

This enormous, gentle, giant brought laughterto those he met. MPs stopped. They crouched down. They buried their hands in his fur. They asked what we all have thought “how could anyone let this dog die?” 

Rehome the Hounds

PTW, Amelia and Laura with Alfred. 

And the MPs who came? They came because they care.

• Neil Duncan-Jordan (Poole)
• Douglas McAllister (West Dunbartonshire)
• Navendu Mishra (Stockport)
• Rachel Maskell (York Central)
• Ruth Jones (Newport West and Islwyn)
• Alex Mayer (Dunstable and Leighton Buzzard)
• Richard Burgon (Leeds East) 
• Ian Byrne (Liverpool West Derby)

Richard Burgon MP pictured with Alfred the rescued hound. 

Eight Members of Parliament from across England and Wales came, listened, and met Alfred. They left with our 2025 Forgotten Victims of Hunting Report, and the knowledge that a ban on fox hunting isn’t just a victory for wildlife but for the hounds too. 

Rehome the Hounds

This Is Where You Come In

Our messages are simple; Hounds can be rehomed. Hunts need to stop breeding them and start rehoming them. And if you are a rescue, the hounds need your help. 

That is where you, our wonderful supporters come in. 

We are building a rescue network. A coalition of organisations willing to pledge one space (or more) to hunt hounds. Rescues who will stand up when everyone else walked away. Rescues who will say: not on our watch, because hounds are no different to other dogs – they deserve that chance. 

If you donate to a rescue, volunteer for one, work at one, tell them about this campaign. Ask them to pledge a space. Ask them to be part of something that could save lives and to get in touch with us on: hounds@protectthewild.org.uk

We are also creating a verified list of accredited behaviourists ready to support rescues and adopters who take in hounds, because no rescue should ever feel like they are doing this alone.

Hunt hounds are rehomable. Hunts must stop breeding and start rehoming them.

Rehome the Hounds

Alfred with PTW, he agrees that hounds should be rehomed!

Stand with us. Stand with Alfred. Stand with the hounds.

MATCH MY GIFT

DAN GARTLAND 

Good morning, I’m Dan Gartland. I was honestly this close to turning the game off when the Cavs stretched their lead to 22. 

 

In today’s SI:AM:

🗽 Knicks roar back

🇨🇦 Vlad Jr.’s struggles

🐅 LSU coach pushes boundaries again 

Another NBA thriller

Brad Penner/Imagn Images

For 40 minutes on Tuesday night, the Knicks’ offense was spinning its wheels. After torching opponents in the first two rounds of the playoffs, New York was worryingly out of sorts, and the Cavaliers had built a healthy 93–71 lead. 

But then the Knicks pulled off a comeback for the ages. 

They closed the fourth quarter on a 30–8 run to tie the game at 101 and force overtime. Then they outscored the Cavs 14–3 in the extra period. That’s a 44–11 run over the final 12:39. 

It was the second-largest fourth-quarter comeback in a playoff game since the NBA began tracking play-by-play data 30 years ago. Only the Clippers’ 24-point comeback against the Grizzlies in Game 1 of their 2012 first-round series was larger. It was also the biggest comeback in Knicks playoff history and the fourth time in the past two postseasons that New York overcame a 20-point deficit (at any point in the game).

So how’d they do it? Well, Jalen Brunson and James Harden deserve equal parts credit and blame. CONTINUE DAN’S COLUMN ON SI
