On the day of President Donald Trump's inauguration, the White House released an executive order which suspended the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program "until such time as the further entry into the United States of refugees aligns with the interests of the United States."
According to the EO, American cities large and small have been overrun by "significant influxes of migrants" that require the redirection of precious resources and that threaten the security and stability of local residents.
"It is the policy of the United States to ensure that public safety and national security are paramount considerations in the administration of the USRAP," the EO continued.

Trump wants OPEC to lower oil prices. They would have to increase production to achieve that. He will have to use his best negotiation skills to get the cartel to agree to that.
Trump called out the CEO of Bank of America during a virtual appearance at the World Economic Forum on Thursday in Davos, Switzerland.
Trump was speaking to the forum when he directly addressed Brian Moynihan over accusations that the bank has been shutting out conservatives from banking services.
He also addressed Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase.
"They don't take conservative business, and I don't know if regulators mandated that because of Biden or what," Trump continued, "but you and Jamie and everybody, I hope you open your banks to conservatives, because what you're doing is wrong."
Trump went on to say that he wants the global leaders to tackle high inflation and also for Saudi Arabia and OPEC to "bring down the cost of oil."
First lady Melania Trump revealed in October in an interview with Fox News that she was a victim of de-banking.
President Donald Trump followed through on a campaign promise on Thursday to order the release of the classified files related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
In addition to those files, he ordered the declassification of files related to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. and that of Robert F. Kennedy.
Donald Trump's order on birthright citizenship sets the stage for a major legal fight and a much-needed correction.
The ink was barely dry on President Trump's executive order overturning birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants when the ACLU filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of illegal alien plaintiffs. In the coming days, the left will flood the media with claims that invaders can force citizenship on us, arguing the 14th Amendment somehow guarantees this.
Leftists will cherry-pick a single nonbinding footnote from a poor legal decision that misinterpreted an earlier flawed ruling. These arguments ignore previous precedent, the original intent and plain meaning of the 14th Amendment, national sovereignty, and the foundational principles of the social compact. Instead, they selectively reinterpret the law to achieve their desired political outcome of extending our sacred birthright to illegal immigrants — all while disregarding a long history of uninterrupted case law indicating the opposite.

Donald Trump has been the president for just a few days and already, there's an outflow of persons at the southern border.
Illegal immigrants are voluntarily deporting themselves.
The majority of Americans will be glad of this. Recent Axios polling revealing that 66% of Americans support mass deportations.
And it's not the only poll to suggest this. Polling from the New York Times, Marquette Law School, CBS, and ABC all came up with similar numbers.
The prog media, however, is trying to paint the picture that we're going to have military members going school to school to find children who are illegal immigrants and deport them.

Military aircraft used to deport migrants in the country illegally from Tucson to Guatemala
(https://i.imgur.com/MnWxppvm.png)
TUCSON, AZ — The U.S. Government has released photos showing a military plane being used to carry out a deportation flight from Tucson.
The post says the "U.S. Transportation Command is supporting Immigration and Customs Enforcement removal flights by providing military airlift".
The deportation flight using military aircraft comes after President Donald Trump signed an executive order declaring a "National Emergency" at the border and that he would use the military for the purpose of "securing our borders".
President Trump's "border czar" Tom Homan spoke with ABC News and said this will now be a "daily occurrence." U.S. officials tell ABC News there were two military flights on Thursday, transporting 150 migrants to Guatemala.

The Trump administration moved to dismiss charges against a doctor whistleblower who exposed transgender surgeries being performed in secret at a Texas children's hospital.
Texas surgeon Dr. Eithan Haim obtained documents proving that Texas Children's Hospital was providing gender transition services in secret and passed them on to conservative journalist Christopher Rufo in order to stop the illegal procedures.
The Biden administration responded by filing charges against Haim for violating HIPAA privacy statutes. On Friday, Haim celebrated the announcement that the charges would be dismissed.
The Biden administration was accused of unfairly targeting the whistleblower.

Parents who opposed trans extremism in schools knew that.
Donald Trump has wasted no time making his mark in his return to the White House.
In less than a week, the president has signed dozens of new executive orders and repealed nearly 80 orders and memorandums from the Biden era.
One of the most notable orders, titled "Guaranteeing the States Protection Against Invasion," introduced immediate changes to immigration law.
The order suspends temporarily a contentious policy that allows immigrants to enter the United States by claiming asylum.
Additionally, it directs federal agents to block entry for immigrants who fail to provide sufficient medical information or reliable criminal and background records.
Perhaps the most important change, however, is one that has received little attention from the media — the classification of the ongoing border crisis as an "invasion."
Finish the wall!!
The Colombian government has agreed to all of President Donald Trump's demands regarding deportation flights after President Gustavo Petro refused two U.S. military flights carrying illegal immigrants.
After Trump announced sanctions and tariffs on the Colombian government for refusing to accept the flights, Petro said Colombia would put tariffs on American goods. By late Sunday evening, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed that Colombia had fully agreed to all deportation flights, including from the U.S. military.
WINNING
Trump's renewed push for deregulation in the U.S. offers lessons for Canada. Excessive red tape is stifling growth. If deregulation drives U.S. prosperity, Canada must take note and rethink its regulatory burden to remain competitive
Trump is set to sign an executive order Monday reinstating thousands of American service members who were discharged for refusing experimental COVID-19 vaccines during the pandemic. Doing so will amount to another promise kept by the Republican, who stated in August, "I will rehire every patriot that was fired with an apology and backpay. They will get their backpay and an apology from our government."
Excellent work, Mr. President.

Trump's Immigration and Customs Enforcement launched its first raids in New York early Tuesday morning, resulting in the arrest of a notorious gang leader and other violent illegal alien criminals.
Police sources told the New York Post that ICE's first arrests involved individuals with warrants for crimes including burglary, menacing, kidnapping, extortion, and other violent offenses.
A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson told Fox News that the early morning raids targeted "murderers, kidnappers, and individuals charged of assault and burglary."
One of the individuals apprehended by ICE was a Dominican national wanted for a double homicide in his home country.
Federal immigration agents also arrested 25-year-old Anderson Zambrano-Pacheco, a Tren de Aragua ringleader tied to a viral surveillance video from August that captured armed suspected gang members storming through an Aurora, Colorado, apartment complex.
Zambrano-Pacheco was arrested by DEA agents and Department of Homeland Security officers at the apartment complex in the Bronx early Tuesday morning. He faces kidnapping, burglary, and menacing charges.

BULLSEYE!!
Republicans, as a rule, are fond of tinkering around the edges. Once elected, they stand athwart history yelling "slow down a little." They prefer to putter around the White House adding window dressing to Democrat-led decline. They fret about norms, civility, and other sweet nothings, while their political enemies ignore these niceties completely. The result? Each time "the pendulum swings back" (as Republican faithful are fond of predicting), it swings less and less to the right — and farther and farther to the left.
Not this time. President Donald Trump's remaking of the federal government isn't just softening the palette; it's a full-blown color revolution in how the federal government operates — and if successful, it will change everything.
Donald Trump's border czar told Fox News on Tuesday that while the new administration is hitting the ground running on its deportation operation, it is only just the start, as the number of apprehensions need to increase in order to reach the desired goal.
"Are you satisfied, Tom Homan, with the pace of migrant deportations?" host Jesse Watters asked.
"No. We've got to do more. We've got to open the aperture up, which we are going to do. It was a good start. The first week was unprecedented. I mean, illegal crossings on the border, one day it was 540. I've never seen that. ... We went from 10,000 a day to under 600. It's great, it's good, but we're not finished. We need more deportations, a lot more deportations, and that's what we are working on," Homan replied. :good:

Jo Jo Sweetie, you told me after sex two nights ago that you found her performance cringey.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem stated Wednesday that President Trump's administration had stopped all taxpayer dollars from going toward non-governmental organizations that have been facilitating illegal immigration.
"Today, we are announcing that we have stopped all grant funding that's being abused by NGOs to facilitate illegal immigration into this country. So it's amazing to me the hundreds of millions of dollars that have been spent by the federal government, that has been sent to NGOs to facilitate this invasion of our country," Noem stated.
380 million in taxpayer money was funneled to NGOs to provide shelter and services programs for illegal aliens in 2024.
Among Trump's many promises, none mattered more to his supporters than swift and substantive action on immigration. His first-week strategy shows he took that commitment seriously. In just seven days, Immigration and Customs Enforcement conducted nationwide raids, arresting thousands of illegal immigrants. Authorities prioritized the most dangerous offenders, ensuring gang members, drug traffickers, and child predators were swiftly removed. The speed of these removals raises one clear question: Was the Biden administration allowing violent illegal aliens to terrorize American citizens?

Secretary of State Marco Rubio laid down the law in Panama over the weekend, making expressly clear to President José Mulino that the Trump administration will not tolerate the influence of the Chinese communist regime over the Panama Canal as it now stands.
It appears the Panamanian leader heeded the American's warning.
Within hours of their meeting, Mulino announced that Panama will not be renewing its memorandum of understanding with China concerning its Belt and Road Initiative.
Cyril Ramaphosa, South Africa's socialist president, ratified legislation on Jan. 25 enabling the government to seize land without compensation. With white farmers still possessing a great deal of land, the ruling coalition apparently figures the new law for a means of redistributing property to members of a state-preferred racial group.
Citing the Expropriation Act of 2024 as cause, President Donald Trump noted on Truth Social Sunday that he "will be cutting off all future funding to South Africa until a full investigation of this situation has been completed!"
Last year, the U.S. reportedly committed to over $323 million in foreign assistance to South Africa. The U.S. Agency for International Development, which Trump appears poised to shutter, directed the bulk of the funding. In 2023, America poured over $439 million into funding for the African nation.
"South Africa is confiscating land, and treating certain classes of people VERY BADLY," wrote Trump. "It is a bad situation that the Radical Left Media doesn't want to so much as mention. A massive Human Rights VIOLATION, at a minimum, is happening for all to see. The United States won't stand for it, we will act."

The White House signaled Tuesday that the top bureaucrats who controlled government tech are next on the chopping block.
The White House is taking a critical step to ensure that obstructionist deep-staters spread throughout the federal government at senior levels cannot choke essential information flows and altogether hinder agencies' execution of the president's agenda.
The U.S. Office of Personnel Management sent a memo Tuesday to the heads and acting heads of all federal departments and agencies, recommending that every agency revoke the "career reserved" status for their chief information officers. By doing so and by also opening the roles to "general" employees, the establishmentarians presently occupying the increasingly politicized roles can be easily canned and replaced by individuals actually willing to carry out the president's agenda.
The stated purpose of this move is to satisfy the Trump administration's desire to "improve the government's digital policy to make government more responsive, transparent, efficient, and accessible to the public, and to make using and understanding government programs easier."

Less than three weeks in and this is what Trump has accomplished internationally.
exican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced the immediate deployment of 10,000 troops to the U.S.-Mexico border. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made a similar announcement later that same day. In response, Trump agreed to delay the tariffs on Mexico and Canada for one month.
Beyond Mexico and Canada, Trump has already scored several major foreign policy victories during his second term — each rooted in his FAFO strategy.
Colombia has agreed to accept flights of repatriated citizens who entered the United States illegally after first refusing to accept them. The change? Again, Trump threatened tariffs. Colombia capitulated and is accepting its citizens back into the country.
Venezuela freed six Americans who were being held illegally in the country after a very brief meeting with U.S. special envoy Richard Grenell. Venezuela has also agreed to accept the repatriation of its citizens illegally in the United States, including members of the brutal Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.
Trump also decided to take out several leaders of ISIS in Somalia last weekend, launching airstrikes.
And, just for good measure, newly confirmed Secretary of State Marco Rubio secured a commitment from Panama to withdraw from China's Belt and Road Initiative and to maintain its sovereignty over the Panama Canal.
America is back, with an aggressive foreign policy. For those countries that do not believe it or want to challenge the new approach, Trump has shown that he has one thing to say: FAFO.
Trump signed an executive order halting all US aid to South Africa, accusing its government of allowing violent attacks on white farmers and implementing a land expropriation law that enables the seizure of Afrikaner-owned farms without compensation.

Its time to cut off ALL aid to Africa. If them fuckers havent learned to feed themselves, they need to starve. I'd like to see a plan to repatriate all whites in Africa to white countries. They're only gonna get butchered by blacks eventually anyway, plus, niggers will starve quicker without whites to farm the lands. Its pretty much like the USSR at this point.

It's alleged Trump did offer asylum to all White South Africans, but they declined. I don't believe that. I have a Dutch speaking White South African doctor. He says they all want out.

While I realize this doesnt speak for all of them, I've seen videos of whites say they will never leave SA because its their home. When white rule ended in SA, they should have split off a part where whites would have a homeland.
Oh well, whitey in SA is fucked just like he was fucked in all the other parts of africa.

Among the high-profile disruptors in Trump's Cabinet, few have made a more dramatic impact than Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
From high-profile ICE raids in New York to horseback patrols in Texas, Noem is making her presence known as she reshapes Homeland Security from the ground up.
Under Mayorkas' "leadership," more than 10 million illegal aliens entered the United States. When the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that DHS could not mass parole illegal aliens into the country, he expanded the practice anyway. Since fiscal year 2021, authorities have caught 362 individuals on the terrorist watchlist illegally crossing the Southwest border. That figure is just one piece of the overwhelming evidence showing how Mayorkas and Biden enabled an unprecedented border crisis.
Kennedy inspired, Reagan led, and Trump fights. Each faced opposition, but only Trump has survived an all-out assault from the deep state and media elites.
After enduring years of relentless attacks from the deep state and its operatives — including blatant lies, distortions of truth, unfounded impeachments, nonstop lawfare, attempts to bankrupt and imprison him, a billion-dollar campaign to destroy him, and even assassination attempts — Trump's enemies unwittingly opened the door to his greatness.
Love him or hate him, recognize his struggle or not, at this moment in American history, Donald J. Trump has earned the title of legendary.

Why am I not surprised.
The inspector general tasked with monitoring spending habits at the controversial U.S. Agency for International Development is now out of a job.
On Tuesday evening, Trent Morse, deputy director of the White House Office of Presidential Personnel, emailed USAID Inspector General Paul Martin to let him know that he had been "terminated, effective immediately."
Though Morse did not provide a reason for Martin's termination, it is likely tied to the rampant waste, fraud, and abuse Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency appear to have uncovered at the agency. According to the DOGE, USAID — dedicated to distributing American tax dollars to foreign countries — spent billions on leftist, anti-American pet projects ranging from "trans-led" and "gender-affirming" organizations in Guatemala to a Hamas-linked charity in Gaza to DEI scholarships in Burma.

A great start so far.
The State Department is planning to designate over six cartels and criminal groups with links to Latin America as foreign terrorist organizations.
Six unnamed sources familiar with the imminent decision told the Times that in addition to Tren de Aragua and MS-13, the Trump administration plans to designate six Mexican cartels as FTOs: the Cartel del Golfo, the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, the Michoacán family, the Northeast Cartel, and the Sinaloa Cartel.
These are the kind of cost saving reforms that work.
The Trump administration on Feb. 14 cut funding for an outreach program under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that helps people sign up for health insurance coverage, according to a statement from the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS).
The agency said in a statement that ACA navigators will receive $10 million per year over the next four years. In 2024, the navigator program received $98 million, according to the agency. The ACA, passed in 2010, is a sweeping health care plan known as Obamacare.
CMS stated it was a cost-cutting move that would allow for health care exchanges to focus on more efficient strategies.
"Overall, navigator performance data shows that the current level of funding does not represent a reasonable return on investment," CMS officials said. "These numbers indicate that navigators are not enrolling nearly enough people to justify the substantial amount of federal dollars previously spent on the program."
In 2024, the navigators enrolled 92,000 consumers, which is "just 0.6 percent of plan selections through the [federally facilitated exchanges] during the open enrollment period ... at a cost of $1,061 per enrollment."
"Additionally, the average cost per enrollment exceeded $3,000 for 12 of the 56 navigator grantee organizations. Looking back at the grant period covering the 2019 plan year—the year before the COVID-19 pandemic under a similar regulatory approach—navigators likewise enrolled 0.6 percent of total enrollments through the FFEs at a substantially lower cost of $10 million," the statement said.
However, Friday's CMS statement said that $360 million will be saved over four years by cutting the program and noted that the user fee that is paid to the navigators is "directly passed through to the premium that health insurers charge."
"The savings from the navigator program supports lower premiums for consumers in the individual health insurance market," it stated. "People who do not qualify for federal premium subsidies will directly benefit from lower premiums. Lower premiums will also translate to less federal spending on premium subsidies."
The Tremont City Police Department in the greater Springfield metropolitan area revealed that a great deal has changed socially and demographically since November — and that much of it can be attributed to President Donald Trump.
"I can't even fathom how bad it could be if that election went completely opposite," said TCPD Chief Chad Duncan. "There were people living in tents behind businesses, just inside of the wood line. The parks were overrun with homeless immigrants, and you don't see that now."
"So I guess you got to thank the good Lord that He decided to give us what we asked for, which was President Trump, and he did it in a very timely fashion," added Duncan.
Since President Trump has crammed at least 100 days of action into just a few weeks, let's issue his preliminary 100-day report card now.
On three of the four issues central to restoring American sovereignty and values — border security, eviscerating DEI, and returning sanity to biology — Trump receives the highest possible grade. He has moved swiftly, strongly, and wisely.
When it comes to ending government's role in censorship, he has been more cautious — but not inactive. He issued an executive order to prohibit any federal government officer, employee, or agent to "unconstitutionally abridge the free speech of any American citizen" and authorize an investigation of Biden administration censorship programs. He shuttered part of the Biden censorship enterprise, and some social media platforms have curtailed their "moderation" practices. There is a lot more to do to eliminate censorship by government and government-funded organizations.
Trump receives high marks for setting in motion the policies necessary to protect Christians and Jews, curb the green agenda and restore consumer choice, and re-invigorate fossil fuel exploration and extraction. He is to be lauded for withdrawing the United States from the Paris Climate Accord and the World Health Organization.
Trump also receives high marks for ending the USAID's radical left agenda. USAID also administers programs that advance American values. They can be managed by the State Department or a right-sized USAID.
Donald Trump directed the Department of Justice to terminate all U.S. attorneys appointed during the Biden administration. The move was necessary to restore a "fair justice system" in the country, Trump said.
"Over the past four years, the Department of Justice has been politicized like never before," Trump said on the Truth Social platform. "Therefore, I have instructed the termination of ALL remaining 'Biden Era' U.S. Attorneys. We must 'clean house' IMMEDIATELY, and restore confidence," he said.
It is common for U.S. attorneys to resign when there is a change in administration. However, department lawyers said the incoming administration would typically request their resignations rather than issuing termination letters. The DOJ did not respond to a request for comment. Trump's statement comes a week after the White House had dispensed termination notices to federal prosecutors appointed during the Biden era. A number of other U.S. attorneys have already announced their resignations.

Vance joked that the only thing President Donald Trump has been unable to solve is CNN's rating crisis. :s_laugh:

Trump signed an Executive Order to end the procurement and forced use of paper straws.
The Federal government is directed to stop purchasing paper straws and ensure they are no longer provided within Federal buildings.
The Order requires the development of a National Strategy to End the Use of Paper Straws within 45 days to alleviate the forced use of paper straws nationwide.
Cities and states across America have banned plastic straws, caving to pressure from woke activists who prioritize symbolism over science.
Paper straws use chemicals that may carry risks to human health – including "forever chemical" PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) which are known to be highly water soluble and can bleed from the straw into a drink.
A study found that while PFAS were found in paper straws, no measurable PFAS were found in plastic straws.
Paper straws are more expensive than plastic straws, and often force users to use multiple straws.
Paper straws are not the eco-friendly alternative they claim to be – studies have shown that producing paper straws can have a larger carbon footprint and require more water than plastic straws.
Paper straws often come individually wrapped in plastic, undermining the environmental argument for their use.

Trump plans to create a sovereign wealth fund.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick would be appointed to spearhead the effort for the fund, aimed at acquiring TikTok and possibly shares in other larger companies, such as vaccine manufacturers.
"If we are going to buy two billion COVID vaccines, maybe we should have some warrants and some equity in these companies," Lutnick said.
Bessent, speaking alongside Trump from the Oval Office on Monday, said the fund was an issue of "great strategic importance."

The USPS has burdened American taxpayers with billions in annual losses, including $9.5 billion in fiscal year 2024. Further, despite a $107 billion congressional bailout two years ago, financial records show the agency's liabilities nearing $80 billion.
The National Association of Letter Carriers organized a rally on Monday to protest the reports — rejected by the administration that Trump is drafting an executive order to shake up the USPS.

This decision was long overdue.
Donald Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order directing the departments of the Treasury, Labor, and Health and Human Services to make healthcare prices transparent.
The order directs the departments to "rapidly implement and enforce" the Trump healthcare price transparency regulations, which he claims were slowed by the Biden administration.
The departments will ensure hospitals and insurers disclose actual prices, not estimates, and take action to make prices comparable across hospitals and insurers, including prescription drug prices.
In addition, they will be required to update their enforcement policies to ensure hospitals and insurers are in compliance with requirements to make prices transparent.
"When healthcare prices are hidden, large corporate entities like hospitals and insurance companies benefit at the expense of American patients," the White House wrote in a statement. "Price transparency will lower healthcare prices and help patients and employers get the best deal on healthcare."
Continuing on Trump EO on healthcare price transparency.
The executive order notes a number of concerns with current healthcare pricing, including that prices vary between hospitals in the same region.
"One patient in Wisconsin saved $1,095 by shopping for two tests between two hospitals located within 30 minutes of one another," according to the statement.
The White House claims one economic analysis found Trump's original price transparency rules, if fully implemented, could deliver savings of $80 billion for consumers, employers and insurers by 2025.
It added that employers will lower their healthcare costs by an average of 27% on 500 common services by better shopping for care.
The White House said American patients are "fed up with the status quo," with 95% saying healthcare price transparency is an important priority. More than 50% said it should be a top priority of the government.
In his first term, Trump took historic action by mandating that hospitals and insurers make prices public.
A lawsuit was filed against the Biden administration in 2023, alleging it did not enforce the prescription drug transparency requirements.
"While the prior Administration failed to prioritize further implementation and enforcement of these requirements, President Trump is delivering on his promises to make the healthcare system more affordable and easier to navigate for patients," according to the statement.
Officials with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement made over 100 arrests in the controversial Texas development Colony Ridge earlier this week in a massive raid that a Trump official claims is only "phase one" of a larger operation.
On Monday, ICE arrested 118 individuals in the Colony Ridge area, a sprawling 33,000-acre development about a half-hour north of Houston. Some of those arrested already had outstanding warrants. Others were detained during traffic stops.
President Trump signed an executive order and a memorandum on March 1 aimed at boosting the U.S. lumber industry, addressing what White House officials called a crisis in both supply and demand.
The executive order, titled "Freeing Our Forest," directs the heads of federal agencies to reverse federal policies and propose ways to expedite and increase domestic timber and lumber production. The increased timber production will be directly tied to an improvement in land management, according to the White House. The memorandum will focus on demand, directing Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to launch an investigation into the possible harm done to national security by importing lumber.
"Our disastrous timber and lumber policies, a legacy of the previous administration, trigger wildfires and degrade our fish and wildlife habitat," said Peter Navarro, senior counselor on trade and manufacturing. "They drive up construction and housing costs and impoverish America through large trade deficits that result from exporters like Canada, Germany, and Brazil dumping lumber into our markets at the expense of both our economic prosperity and national security. That stops today."
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the new U.S. health secretary, said that a measles outbreak in western Texas that has infected more than 100 people and led to one death is a "top priority" for his agency and said that vaccines will be provided.
"Ending the measles outbreak is a top priority for me and my extraordinary team," Kennedy said in a post on social media platform X on Feb. 28. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is sending Texas 2,000 doses of the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine through its immunization program, Kennedy said.
HHS will also provide "lab support to better track the virus causing the outbreak," will communicate "with public health officials every day in all affected areas to support their response and ensure they have the resources they need," and provide communications to local communities in Low German—the language used by Mennonites. "We will continue to fund Texas' immunization program," Kennedy wrote.

Honda will reportedly manufacture the next-generation Civic in Indiana. That's a change of plans for the company, which had been planning to manufacture the vehicle in Mexico. The move comes following Donald Trump's levying of 25% tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada.
JD Vance said that while the Trump administration has made great progress in undoing the damage from the border crisis that was caused by the Biden-Harris administration, "Rome wasn't built in a day."
"President Biden gutted the entire immigration enforcement machine of this country. We are trying to rebuild so that we actually empower people to enforce the immigration laws. ... It is common sense. It's what the American people want us to do."
Speaking to reporters, Trump said he wanted to convince Russia and China to eliminate their nuclear arsenals, calling them extremely dangerous and deterrent weapons.
"It would be great if everybody would get rid of their nuclear weapons. I know Russia and us have by far the most. China will have an equal amount within 4-5 years. It would be great if we could all denuclearize because the power of nuclear weapons is crazy," he said.
His comments come as global powers continue to modernize and expand their nuclear arsenals.
Back in February, Donald Trump had already expressed frustration over the billions of dollars spent on nuclear deterrence.

Unlike past presidents, I believe Trump genuinely wants to eliminate nuclear stockpiles. He will never accomplish that.
Trump announced Friday that he is rolling out the red carpet for South African farmers and reiterated that the U.S. is cutting off funding to the socialist-led nation.
Without specifying that they need to be Afrikaners, who are also called Boers, Trump invited South African farmers worried about their safety to come with their families to the United States in a Friday Truth Social post, noting that they will enjoy a "rapid pathway to Citizenship" — a process that "will begin immediately."
Cyril Ramaphosa, South Africa's socialist president, ratified legislation on Jan. 25 enabling the government to seize land without compensation in the name of the "public interest."
Trump signed a memo on Thursday requesting federal judges impose financial penalties on "activist groups" who file "meritless" lawsuits against the government.
The administration fact sheet for the memo "President Donald J. Trump Ensures the Enforcement of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(C)" requires financial guarantees from plaintiffs requesting preliminary injections and temporary restraining orders "where the government can demonstrate monetary harm from the requested relief."
"This ensures coverage of potential costs or losses if the court later deems an injunction wrongly issued," it stated.

Scott Turner's swift action at HUD to reverse Biden-era rules could help lower housing costs and bring the American dream back within reach for millions.
Scott Turner, the former Texas state representative and new Housing and Urban Development secretary, sailed through confirmation last month. He has moved swiftly to reverse troubling Biden-era regulations, such as the 2021 Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing rule, effectively a zoning tax that drove up housing costs.
Trump should target tariffs towards countries and economic sectors that do not have an equal trading relationship with America.
The U.S. Department of Education is laying off 1,315 employees, about half its workforce, within 90 days as part of its ongoing cost-saving measures. The staff reduction addresses redundancies in the communications, human resources, information technology, and other offices within the department, according to a senior official.
The affected workers were to be notified via email at 6 p.m. on March 11. The Washington, D.C., office will be closed on March 12 for safety protocols, and the senior official said the workers are expected to work remotely with full pay and benefits through March 21. They will then be placed on administrative leave, with pay, through June 9.
The laid-off staffers will be awarded severance payments based on their years of service, with the most senior members receiving up to 20 weeks of salary. The agency said about 600 of its 4,133 employees have already agreed to leave voluntarily, including 313 who accepted $25,000 buyout offers last week.
Ukraine has agreed to enter into a 30-day cease-fire with Russia as a means of kickstarting further talks to end the war. The United States responded by resuming military assistance to Ukraine. Delegations from Washington and Kyiv shared a joint statement on March 11 announcing the proposed 30-day pause in the fighting, after concluding a lengthy round of discussions in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
While the Jeddah plan calls for an initial 30-day halt to the fighting, Russia and Ukraine could agree to extend this temporary cease-fire as they work toward a more lasting peace agreement. It remains to be seen how Moscow will respond to the proposed cease-fire and other developments out of Jeddah.
"We'll take this offer now to the Russians and we hope that they'll say yes," Secretary of State Marco Rubio said. Following the Jeddah talks, the U.S. and Ukrainian delegations announced the United States would lift its hold on intelligence sharing with Ukraine and resume security assistance.
So... they're calling it a "cease fire" but it's really just another delaying tactic (ala Minsk Accords) in order to resupply Ukraine and ensure the war keeps going once NATO decides they're ready?

The Department of Homeland Security has "significant concerns" that the agency's shelter grants supported illegal activities.

In a motion filed on March 16, Bondi and her staff accused U.S. District Judge James Boasberg of implementing "an unprecedented, nationwide temporary restraining order" that halted deportations of illegal immigrants associated with the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua under the 18th-century law. The motion argued that Boasberg initiated a "massive, unauthorized imposition" on the executive branch's authority.

Ha ha, that's karma for Joe Biden not giving SS security detail to Bobby Kennedy when he was running for president.
Trump announced that classified documents related to the 1963 assassination of John F. Kennedy will be released tomorrow.
Trump is going to sign an order to eliminate the Department of Education. Good, that is the jurisdiction of states.
Investment dollars keep rolling in.
The United Arab Emirates has committed to a 10-year, $1.4 trillion investment framework in the United States after top UAE officials met President Donald Trump this week, a White House official said on Friday.
The new framework will "substantially increase the UAE's existing investments in the U.S. economy" in AI infrastructure, semiconductors, energy, and American manufacturing, the official told Reuters.

The Trump administration's General Services Administration is set to pull the plug on all EV charging stations in federal buildings nationwide. That is about 8000 EV chargers nation wide. In addition, the agency plans to off-load newly purchased EVs from the federal vehicle fleet.
Trump reportedly confirmed over the weekend that he intends to give a full pardon to Hunter Biden's former business partner Devon Archer, citing the price the former Abercrombie & Fitch model turned fraudster has supposedly paid for exposing the Biden family's apparent corruption.
Prog money intends to use rogue judges to undermine Trump's second term, just as it relied on the Russia investigation and Fauci to derail his first.
Trump has served as president for just 18% of the 21st century, yet he has been the target of nearly 70% of all federal injunctions issued against a sitting president in that time. An overwhelming 92% of those rulings came from Democrat-appointed judges. In February alone, Trump faced more federal injunctions than Joe Biden has during his entire presidency.
The same Biden who opened the borders to drug cartels and human traffickers, mandated controversial COVID-19 vaccines as a condition for employment, and pressured Big Tech to suppress dissenting views. In a just and rational world, such corruption would be unthinkable — but it was where we lived until just a couple of months ago.
Donald Trump said Monday that he will impose tariffs of 25% on any nation that purchases oil from Venezuela.
"Venezuela has been very hostile to the United States and the Freedoms which we espouse. Therefore, any Country that purchases Oil and/or Gas from Venezuela will be forced to pay a Tariff of 25% to the United States on any Trade they do with our Country," Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
The Department of Defense (DOD) has reduced its civilian workforce by 50,000 to 60,000 positions, representing 5-8% of total personnel. Nearly 21,000 employees have chosen voluntary exit through the deferred resignation program, and these employees will be placed on administrative leave during the transition. :good:

South Korea-based Hyundai and President Donald Trump announced a $20 billion investment in US on-shoring on Monday, which includes a $5 billion steel plant in Louisiana, at the White House Monday.
The $5.8 billion Louisiana facility will be the car manufacturers' first steel manufacturing facility in the US and will produce more than 2.7 million metric tons of steel a year and create more than 1,400 jobs. It will supply steel to auto plants in Alabama and Georgia, Trump said in remarks at the White House.
"More investments, more jobs, and more money in the pockets of hardworking Americans – all thanks to President Trump's economic policies," White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt wrote on social media.
"This investment is a clear demonstration that tariffs very strongly work," Trump said Monday afternoon.
Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday requiring proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections, threatening to yank funding from states that fail to make efforts to secure elections. :good:

Health and Human Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Thursday he will cut about 10,000 full-time jobs from the Cabinet department in a dramatic reduction that includes closing half its regional offices as part of a wider Trump administration overhaul of the federal government.
Combined with HHS employees who previously accepted buyouts and others who were already fired, the agency's workforce will be sliced by one-quarter from 82,000 full-time employees to 62,000 since President Donald Trump returned to the White House.

The administration's departure from the Paris agreement and climate funding freeze represent a big win for US farmers, cutting out wasteful spending and allowing American agriculture to thrive.
While news about President Trump's tariffs and crackdowns on the questionable financial management of federal agencies has dominated media reports in recent weeks, a quiet transformation has been under way in agricultural policy.
An order to remove climate change references from U.S. Department of Agriculture websites signals a departure from the red tape of climate regulations on domestic farming practices and strings attached to U.S. support of agriculture abroad.
Through the U.S. Agency for International Development, the federal government poured millions of dollars into climate-focused programs that could have no positive effect on the climate — promoting "green" orthodoxy over agricultural productivity.
Wasted climate dollars
Some of these programs have been intertwined with other activities in rural agrarian communities. USAID and the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation, for example, joined in a "$55 million credit guarantee to address the economic impact of COVID-19 by supporting loans to farmer producer organizations, ag-tech companies, and companies engaged in clean energy solutions for the agriculture sector." A $1.5 million program aimed at "empowering" female climate activists in northern Kenya.
USAID also partnered with organizations like the Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security, which operates in developing countries and focuses on so-called research themes that include "low-emissions" development, climate services and safety nets, scaling "climate-smart" agriculture, and gender and social inclusion.
All these expenditures came under the umbrella of USAID's 2022-2030 climate strategy, a $150 billion "whole-of-agency approach" to establish an "equitable world with net-zero greenhouse gas emissions.'
Climate mandates stifle farming
USAID's financial support for farmers and businesses has been contingent on adherence to an absurd climate agenda and perverse views of human nature that have nothing to do with feeding hungry people.
The administration's freeze on this funding cuts off money to hundreds of such programs that interfered with the employment of sensible farming practices in places like Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
It's not just farmers abroad who will benefit from the dismantlement of USAID's climate initiatives. Among the first casualties of the current policy shift will be the unscientific $3.1 billion program to promote the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions on farms across 55 U.S. states and territories through 135 projects.
Imagine a program intended to help crops grow but that robs them of the carbon dioxide that enables photosynthesis. CO2 is necessary for plant life — and ultimately all life.
NASA credits the greening of much of the planet over the past 100 years to the increase in atmospheric CO2. Programs that seek to lower carbon dioxide levels are destructive — period.
The Trump administration's termination of the CHNV program has left over 500,000 immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela at risk of deportation. Originally designed to provide refuge and work permits for those fleeing dire conditions, the program has been deemed ineffective by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). They argued it failed to address illegal immigration and created resource management challenges.

Cuban Refugee Adjustment Act
The Cuban Refugee Adjustment Act, as the name suggests, helps make it easier for Cuban citizens to escape Cuba and get permanent residence in the United States. Any Cuban citizen who has been inspected, admitted or paroled into the United States can apply for a Green Card after living in the United States for one year. The spouse and young children of Cuban citizens can use this law to get a Green Card, even if they are not Cuban citizens themselves. Someone who was born in Cuba but becomes a citizen elsewhere can get a Green Card under this law.
Furthermore, a Cuban who has had a family based petition approved can be paroled into the United States while he or she is waiting for a Green Card. The United States government also runs a lottery that allows Cuban citizens to migrate to the U.S.

Health and Human Services Secretary RFK said "We have a sprawling bureaucracy that has all kinds of redundancies and a lot of administrative costs."
He explained that HHS under the Biden administration saw a 38% budget increase and a 17% increase in staff despite declining public health.
Kennedy noted that he plans to consolidate the agency's more than 100 communications, 40 IT, and 40 human resources departments. He stated that with the extreme bloat, the agency had become "impossible" to govern, inspire, and unify its mission.
"These different agencies' divisions were living in silos. And sometimes they devolved into kind of fiefdoms where they were at war with each other," he continued. "I found out that medical information that is collected by one silo, they then sell it to the other groups in my agency, instead of sharing it and saying, 'How do we use this in a way to improve patient care? How do we use it in a way to make people healthy?'"
"We're cutting down 28 divisions into 15," he added.
Kennedy said that under the Trump administration, HHS would focus on cleaning up the nation's food supply, including improving baby formula, ending the use of Generally Recognized as Safe standards, and removing dyes, chemicals, and seed oils contributing to the chronic disease epidemic.
He also stated that HHS is currently preparing new nutrition guidelines, which he estimated would include a three-page document advocating for whole foods.

Working class Americans will get their taxes cut and financial incentives to buy American cars.
The number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits fell modestly last week, remaining within the same range of recent years.
Jobless claim filings fell by 6,000 to 219,000 for the week ending March 29, the Labor Department said Thursday. That's less than the 226,000 new applications analysts forecast.
Weekly applications for jobless benefits are considered a proxy for layoffs, and have remained mostly in a range between 200,000 and 250,000 for the past few years.
Time will tell how the administration's new round of tariffs will impact jobless claims.
I do not blame Trump for demanding foreign countries give equal access to American goods or have the same tariffs on their goods that they put on American imports.
What I really like about what Trump is doing is placing higher tariffs on countries fueling America's illegal immigration and drug crisis. :good:

White House officials stated Sunday that more than 50 nations have reached out, seeking to hold trade talks with the United States due to President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs.
he mainstream media have been in a state of doom and gloom over President Trump's tariffs, but as usual, they're missing the point.
And while the mainstream media fearmonger over the tariffs, Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts has faith that Trump's plan will work.
"Just to be really objective about this, there will be an economic quarter or two where things are choppy. The treasury secretary has said as much, because what Trump is trying to do is reset the world economic order," said Roberts.
"If I had to guess, as he gets into this negotiation with other countries and they recalibrate, because the administration is so good, they're going to focus on the reciprocity part of this," he continues, adding that alongside "deregulation, cutting the budget" and "making tax cuts" will get "America back on its feet."
"There needs to be a zealous focus, a real target, on the worst abusers," he says, noting that China and the European Union are among these abusers.
"The EU is the biggest protectionist racket in history, and they're telling us we can't place a tariff on them. That's the kind of reset that Trump is doing. He deserves much more credit for it than he's getting," Roberts explains.
Donald Trump issued an economic threat to European nations as the U.S. trade war continued to roil global markets, and European officials responded by offering industrial concessions Monday.
"We have offered zero-for-zero tariffs for industrial goods as we have successfully done with many other trading partners," said European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. "Because Europe is always ready for a good deal. So we keep it on the table."

Trump is doing the right thing. and nothing worth achieving comes easy.
what do the scum on the left think? It's just going to be a snap of a finger and manufacturing suddenly pops up in the US? No, it's going to take some time and it's going to take some sacrifice. And yes, we may see some price increases on every day items short term. But in the end we'll be better for it
these very same scumbags whining about price hikes had NO PROBLEMS with price hikes to the tune of over 10% on EVERYTHING as we spent billions catering to the lowest common denominators our society has to offer
so just NOW they are concerned about the price of eggs? All of the sudden? Get a late pass you rotten pieces of vermin scum. that's been the case for TWO fucking years now.
We manufacture next to nothing here and are lulled into a false sense of security due to our allegedly advanced and capable military. But didn't COVID teach us that our Gen 6 fighters wont be of much use to us if the chips that allow them to function are no longer riding in from Taiwan? Did we not see shortages in medical supplies as the rest of the world horded them for themselves and only relinquished the surplus to us and inflated price tags?
Has the time not come where we are self sufficient? As we should be?
China is. Russia is. India is.
and we should be determined to as well.

Thanks to a new executive order from President Donald Trump, American showerheads are about to be unburdened by what has been.
On Wednesday, Trump issued the executive order entitled "Maintaining Acceptable Water Pressure in Showerheads." The purpose of the new EO appears to be twofold.
First, it does away with the lengthy regulations on showerheads codified during the 12 years that Barack Obama and Joe Biden occupied the Oval Office. Such regulations affected Americans' ability to use the water they already pay for, making the showering experience much less enjoyable and more expensive, all in service to a "radical green agenda," a follow-up "fact sheet" about the EO explained.
Trump joked that the inhibited waterflow from showerheads made maintaining his iconic hair more difficult. "In my case, I like to take a nice shower, take care of my beautiful hair," he said while signing the EO.
Honda Motor plans to switch some car production from Mexico and Canada to the United States, aiming for 90% of cars sold in the country to be made locally, the Nikkei newspaper reported on Tuesday.
The Japanese carmaker plans to increase U.S. vehicle production by as much as 30% over two to three years in response to the Trump administration's tariffs on all car imports, Nikkei said.
Trump said he wants to give a stipend and an airplane ticket to any immigrant who is in the country illegally who chooses to "self-deport."

In the first round of the US-China trade war in 2018, nearly 1.9 million jobs were reportedly lost in manufacturing alone.
Now, with Washington imposing a fresh 145 per cent tariff, many fear history is repeating itself.
Most of these businesses operate on thin margins, relying on stable trade flows and long-term partnerships to survive.

A stable trade flow can be affected by any number of things. A country could go to war with someone else, or be hit with a large natural disaster, suffer civil unrest, disease could break out, any of these things could happen and the supply lines stop. This is why every country should be as self sufficient as possible.

So did a lot of Americans when their jobs went to China.
I'm starting to wonder why China even needed to put a tariff on US goods in the first place, I was always told the reason US jobs went to China was because the labor was so much cheaper. If that's true then the end price of the product would be cheaper than the US version and should sell better anyway.
Or maybe the codeine the dentist gave me after pulling my wisdom tooth today is kicking in and I'm totally wrong , I dunno...

Labour is not cheaper in China. That is a myth.
Let's say a toy factory that might employ 100 people in America making $18/hr. The average factory wage in Eastern China is now about 100,000 Chinese RMB/year or $13,642.75 or something like $6.80/hr US.
Now that same factory that would employ 100 workers in the US over two shifts might have 350 workers in China over two shifts. In the US the factory is spending $1800/hr on wages. The same factory in China is spending $2380/hr on wages.
Due to the low productivity of Chinese workers due to lack of investment in automation, labour is more expensive in China than most Western countries.
Donald Trump's administration is gearing up to clamp down further on illegal crossings from Mexico by installing floating buoy barriers in the Rio Grande.
The Washington Examiner reported Wednesday that the Trump administration plans to place a 17-mile-long buoy wall in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas.
In a sharp reversal of the Biden administration's campaign to scrub religious symbols from public institutions, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced last week that a painting of Jesus covered up in 2023 would be restored to public view. The announcement drew cheers from merchant mariners gathered at the academy.
The painting, titled "Christ on the Water," dates to the 1940s and was created to honor mariners lost at sea during World War II. But in early 2023, the Military Religious Freedom Foundation sent a letter to then-Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, calling the artwork a "sectarian painting illustrating the supremacy of Jesus Christ" and demanding that it be removed as an unconstitutional endorsement of religion.
Naturally, Buttigieg complied. Joanna Nunan, the academy superintendent — whose biography boasted of her efforts to expand "diversity and inclusion" in the Coast Guard and Merchant Marine — ordered the painting covered.
U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and then-Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) slammed Nunan for her "flawed understanding" of the First Amendment and called on the academy to keep the painting on display. At the time, academy midshipmen warned that "woke" ideology had "seeped into the school" — and that its spread had only accelerated under Biden and Buttigieg.
Duffy's announcement marks a clear break from that era and shows just how dramatically things have shifted under President Trump.
Sean Duffy is a genius. :yeahhh:

Trump is cleaning up Biden's immigration disaster. Besides having the most secure border of any president, and deported criminals in the country illegally he is making the immigration system like Australia's prioritizing skilled immigrants.
President Trump hailed a significant immigration enforcement operation in Colorado that resulted in the arrest of more than 100 undocumented immigrants.
"A big Raid last night on some of the worst people illegally in our Country — Drug Dealers, Murderers, and other Violent Criminals, of all shapes and sizes, and Judges don't want to send them back to where they came from," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Edward Martin Jr., the Trump-appointed U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, announced an investigation into Wikipedia.
Martin noted in an April 24 letter obtained by the Free Press that "Wikipedia, which operates via its fiscal sponsor, the Wikimedia Foundation, Inc., is engaging in a series of activities that could violate its obligations under Section 501(c)(3) of Title 26 of the United States Code."
The statute cited by Martin holds that tax-exempt organizations must be:
organized and operated exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, testing for public safety, literary, or educational purposes, or to foster national or international amateur sports competition (but only if no part of its activities involve the provision of athletic facilities or equipment), or for the prevention of cruelty to children or animals.
Martin suggested that the Wikimedia Foundation, through Wikipedia, "is allowing foreign actors to manipulate information and spread propaganda to the American public," and is "permitting information manipulation on its platform, including the rewriting of key, historical events and biographical information of current and previous American leaders, as well as other matters implicating the national security of the United States."
Wikipedia, whose parent company spent nearly 30% of its 2023-2024 budget on DEI programs,
tried to hide Vice President JD Vance's military accomplishments in the lead-up to the 2024 election;
strategically eliminated any mention of Kamala Harris' appointment as border czar on the site's list of executive branch czars;
advocated deleting the entry detailing the mass killings executed by communist regimes, citing an anti-communist bias;
blacklisted right-leaning sources such as Blaze News, the Washington Free Beacon, the Federalist, RedState, the Media Research Center, and the Alexander Hamilton-founded New York Post and effectively prohibits their citation in articles, all but guaranteeing a site-wide leftist bias;
smears right-wing figures;
labeled Elon Musk's temporary suspension of journalists who allegedly violated his platform's terms of service as the "Thursday Night Massacre"; and
deceived readers about the history, existence, and nature of cultural Marxism, characterizing the well-defined and well-chronicled offshoot of Marxism as a "conspiracy theory."
A 2024 study published in Online Information Review found that Wikipedia suffers a "significant liberal bias in the choice of news media sources."
Wikipedia — which still claimed at the time of publication that COVID-19 lab leak "explanations are not supported by science" — has not only been criticized for being a repository of leftist propaganda but for its alleged "widespread antisemitic and anti-Israel" content.

Walmart announced a new program to help small businesses in the U.S. in a victory for the tariff policies of President Donald Trump.
The retail giant said its "Grow with US" program would help businesses in the U.S. "navigate the complexities of retail and bring their products to a national stage."
Consumer spending outpaced government spending by 3.2 percentage points in the first quarter, which has been the strongest figure since the Q2 report back in 2022. Consumer spending is a strong indicator of economic health that can lead to several positive outcomes like GDP growth, increasing demand, and job creation.
The report found that inflation has also halted, with the PCE price index showing zero increase in costs from February to March. This is a promising figure compared to the 0.3% increase in costs in January.
"It's no surprise the leftovers of Biden's economic disaster have been a drag on economic growth, but the underlying numbers tell the real story of the strong momentum President Trump is delivering," press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement Wednesday.
Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday directing the board of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and relevant agencies to terminate federal funding for National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service — not exactly the news that socialists may have wanted to hear on May Day.
"The CPB Board shall cease direct funding to NPR and PBS, consistent with my Administration's policy to ensure that Federal funding does not support biased and partisan news coverage," wrote Trump. "The CPB Board shall cancel existing direct funding to the maximum extent allowed by law and shall decline to provide future funding."
An excellent move. Tax dollars should not be subsidizing any media. Carney is increasing CBC's annual subsidy ten percent. :facepalm:
Donald Trump's budget lays out plans to cut funding for several federal programs and services that incentivize illegal immigration.
Trump's budget would eliminate the English Language Acquisition program, which promotes "educational equity" and touts multilingualism as opposed to encouraging English as the United States' primary language, according to the memo. Under former President Joe Biden's administration, this program was used to fund education for illegal aliens while "simultaneously promoting divisive ideological indoctrination in the classroom." Cutting this program alone would save the taxpayer $890 million.
Other "educational" programs on the chopping block include the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act grant program and the Migrant Education and Special Programs for Migrant Students, saving Americans $729 million and $428 million, respectively. These programs provide various educational services to illegal aliens, oftentimes encouraging "radical diversity, equity, and inclusion," or DEI.
Trump's budget would also eliminate the Department of Homeland Security Shelter and Services Program, which the White House charges "massively facilitated illegal migration" by providing transportation and shelter to illegal aliens in Democrat-run sanctuary cities and states, saving taxpayers $650 million. The budget would also eliminate another $3.5 billion in Migration and Refugee Assistance, which the Biden Department of State used to facilitate illegal migration on the premise of a "mostly bogus refugee status."
By eliminating these programs, Trump's budget would both actively disincentivize illegal immigration and simultaneously save Americans over $5.6 billion.
Apple announced it will spend 500 Billion dollars in the US to have their products "Made in America."

President Trump's interests in strengthening the U.S. economy and reinforcing the nation's global leadership are on target. His push for tax reform, regulatory rollback, and more balanced federal spending reflects a prudent economic approach. Simultaneously, his administration continues to enforce border security and uphold a foreign policy centered on peace through strength.
The United States must also respond decisively to China's economic behavior. This includes addressing:
Violations of World Trade Organization rules.
Chinese firms listed on U.S. exchanges that fail to meet U.S. "Generally Accepted Accounting Principles."
Intellectual property theft.
Currency manipulation, which artificially boosts Chinese exports and disadvantages U.S. manufacturers.
If the current tariff policy generates hundreds of billions in tax revenue, the U.S. economy may still achieve robust growth by year-end. The potential drag from tariffs could be counterbalanced by the stimulative effects of lower taxes, deregulation, and more disciplined federal spending.
A firm response
While a more traditional free-market approach would be preferred — centered on stable monetary policy, tax cuts, deregulation, and devolving power to the states — it is evident that China's aggressive trade and military posture demands a firm response. Whether one agrees with Trump's tariff strategy or not, it represents a deliberate effort to defend America, defend domestic industries, and improve labor conditions for American workers.
Ultimately, history reveals that tariffs do not inherently cause inflation and should not alone justify restrictive monetary policy. Nor should tariff policy spark the uncertainty and instability that exist in today's global economy.

CAMBRIDGE, MA — President Donald Trump's administration announced its intention to cut off all federal research grants to Harvard University for the foreseeable future.
The action is the latest development in an ideological battle between the President and the University, where Trump supplied Harvard with a comply with his list of demands.
Education Secretary Linda McMahon wrote a letter to Harvard President Alan Garber in which she attributed the University's ineligibility to its "consistent violations."
Garber quickly responded to McMahon, showing no intentions to comply despite the latest action taken against them. Less than one week ago, Trump threatened to revoke Harvard's tax-exempt status after withholding $2.2 billion in multi-year federal grants and contracts.

The Department of Homeland Security has announced a new initiative to help solve the immigration crisis, which would give undocumented immigrants a $1,000 stipend if they choose to self-deport from the United States.
The CBP Home App was originally the CBP One App, which under the Biden administration helped illegal immigrants find their way into the United States. Now, under Trump, it's helping them find their way out.
This is going to save taxpayers significantly, because it would cost $4,500 per person, compared to over $17,000 that the States are spending for arrest, detention, and then, of course, the forced removal.
And considering $4,500 is much less than what it costs for an illegal immigrant to live in the United States indefinitely.
Many more deals to come.
The United States and the United Kingdom have agreed to increase market access for American exports while easing some tariffs for Britons, President Donald Trump announced Thursday in the first official trade agreement since imposing global tariffs.
In a brief morning press conference, Trump, from the Oval Office, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer, via telephone, said the U.K. would reduce "red tape," streamlining U.S. exports such as beef, ethanol and other products.
In return, the U.S. will ease the 25 percent tariff on vehicles to 10 percent for 100,000 vehicles and eliminate steel tariffs.
"It's so good for both countries and we'll also receive new market access for American chemicals, machinery and many other industrial products that weren't allowed and they'll end up getting products that they'll be able to price, and they like them better," Trump said on Thursday.

Ed Martin, the incoming Department of Justice pardon attorney and director of the DOJ's Weaponization Working Group, announced Tuesday that he will review the rash of questionable "autopen" pardons issued in the final days of the Biden White House, noting that they "need some scrutiny."
"They need scrutiny because we want pardons to matter, and to be accepted, and to be something that's used correctly. So I do think we're going to take a hard look at how they went and what they did," Martin told reporters.
The Justice Department's probe could spell trouble for controversial Biden pardonees such as Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley, members of the Biden clan, and former members of the House Jan. 6 select committee — including Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), and Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), whom President Donald Trump and other Republicans have faulted for various alleged crimes and improprieties.
For instance, Trump has suggested that Milley may have committed "treason." While previously serving as Trump's most senior uniformed adviser, Milley called his communist Chinese counterpart, communist Gen. Li Zuocheng, on two occasions — four days before the 2020 election and on Jan. 8, 2021 — to reassure Zuocheng that he would provide him with actionable warnings should Trump decide to attack. Milley received a pardon just hours before former President Joe Biden left office.
Donald Trump issued a consequential executive order that undermines the power of the federal government to prosecute Americans for obscure rules passed by unelected agencies.
The order, entitled "Fighting Overcriminalization in Federal Regulations," was issued Friday and limits the federal government from prosecuting Americans for violating regulations without ill intent.
"The United States is drastically overregulated. The Code of Federal Regulations contains over 48,000 sections, stretching over 175,000 pages — far more than any citizen can possibly read, let alone fully understand. Worse, many carry potential criminal penalties for violations," reads the order.
The order calls for federal agencies to make a list of regulations that carry a criminal penalty and make it public within 365 days. It also disfavors prosecutions where there is no evidence of bad intent against the accused, in favor of prosecutions against those who knowingly violated regulations.
The order was praised by those in favor of limiting the power of the federal government, including attorney Laura Powell of Californians for Good Governance.
"The federal regulatory code, spanning 175,000 pages, contains countless criminal offenses — literally countless, as no one knows the exact number," she explained.
"This lack of clarity violates the due process requirement of fair notice," she added. "Many offenses are strict liability, meaning you can be convicted even if you were unaware your actions were illegal. This has empowered the administrative state to function as an unaccountable fourth branch, bypassing Congress's legislative authority."

Russia and Ukraine are resuming peace talks for the first time in years all thanks to Trump.
Even Democratic Rep. Jim Himes of Connecticut admits that his foreign policy is praiseworthy.
Trump has spent the last few days meeting with foreign dignitaries in the Middle East, including President Ahmed al-Sharaa of Syria, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia, and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey. Trump even announced he would be lifting sanctions on Syria, inching closer and closer to a peace deal.
"I'm not in the habit of praising Donald Trump," Himes said in an interview Thursday. "But I got to tell you ... I think the president has, in this last week or so, played the Middle East pretty darn well."
Donald Trump scores major legal win on blocked order.
Trump's administration secured a legal win on Friday when a federal appeals court lifted a lower court injunction that had blocked the president's plan to end unionizing rights for hundreds of thousands of federal workers in a case brought by the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU).
With Republicans controlling both chambers of Congress the courts have emerged as arguably the most significant impediment to Trump administration policy.
Since Donald Trump's second inauguration in January courts have blocked a number of his policies including a ban on transgender individuals serving in the military, the freezing of billions in foreign aid and on Friday the Supreme Court ruled against deporting Venezuelan nationals using the 1798 Alien Enemies Act.
riday saw a U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit panel put on hold an injunction issued by a lower court blocking the implementation of an executive order issued by Trump in March on union rights in federal government.
Trump's executive order removed more than a dozen federal agencies, including the departments of Defense, State, Treasury, Justice, Veterans Affairs and Health and Human Services, from union bargaining obligations regarding their employees.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday nearly unanimously sided with President Donald Trump on removing temporary protected status given to migrants from Venezuela.

The House worked through the night to narrowly pass President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill" early Thursday morning after another tumultuous week on Capitol Hill.
The bill passed in a 215-214 vote, with one member, House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Harris (R-Md.), voting present. Republican Reps. Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Warren Davidson of Ohio were the lone "no" votes on the bill, and Republican Reps. Andrew Garbarino of New York and David Schweikert of Arizona refrained from voting altogether.

Who is bankrolling the anti-MAHA movement?
A deep dive into Big Ag's push against the MAHA movement.
Several agricultural agencies came out and criticized President Donald Trump's highly anticipated MAHA report that was released on Thursday. After thoroughly reviewing the records, Blaze News uncovered who is behind many of these anti-MAHA groups.
The MAHA report's findings suggested that exposure to agricultural chemicals like pesticides and insecticides are one of the many root causes that have contributed to chronic diseases and health epidemics afflicting American children. Several studies found that these "crop protection tools" have "raised concerns about possible links between some of these products and adverse health outcomes," according to the report.
For example, one of the most common herbicides, known as glyphosate, has been found to have a number of health effects "ranging from reproductive and developmental disorders as well as cancers, liver inflammation, and metabolic disturbances," according to the report.
The MAHA report also noted that there are great disparities in research conducted by pesticide manufacturers compared to non-industry research, which may be a result of bias. One of the many analyses cited in the report found that 50% of non-industry research deemed a common pesticide harmful compared to just 18% of industry-funded studies.
The through line in this thorough report is that pesticides may be harmful, and the industry players may not have been transparent about it.
Various agricultural groups categorized the MAHA report, specifically the concerns about pesticides, as "baseless" and a source of "misinformation." At the same time, many of these groups have been direct beneficiaries of companies and corporations that manufacture or promote the very same chemicals.

Look behind the curtain of all the opposition to Trump's reforms and you will see the corporate interests paying for it.
The Environmental Protection Agency under President Trump is looking a lot different than the one that existed under Biden after Trump's rollback of greenhouse gas limits.
The agency is now proposing to repeal all greenhouse gas emissions standards for fossil fuel-fired power plants, which would include requirements set under Biden.
"This is a big deal, because when you think about your electricity bill, when you think about the cost of powering the country, these power plants are a huge part of it," BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere explains on "Stu Does America."
"When you limit how they can produce the fuel that you need, you wind up driving up the cost of that energy. That's why your power bills have probably gone up over the past couple of years," he continues, noting that the reasoning behind Biden's requirements were silly in the first place.
Under former President Joe Biden, the federal government substantially expanded its parole programs, including establishing CHNV, which allowed 30,000 individuals per month from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to immigrate to the U.S.
The Supreme Court cleared a path for the Trump administration to revoke deportation protections for more than 500,000 foreign nationals enrolled in the CHNV program.
Under the Biden administration, the DHS had briefly paused the CHNV program last year after a bombshell report found rampant fraud.

Blue states will no longer be allowed to break the law.
The Congressional Budget Office released a report Wednesday detailing the budgetary and economic impact of President Trump's tariffs. The top-line result: Even the Democrat-controlled CBO concedes that tariffs will reduce the deficit over the next decade.
(https://www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.png?id=60521218&width=900&quality=85)
Trump has every reason to celebrate. Tariffs shrink the deficit in one of two ways. They either raise revenue directly — as tariffs are a form of tax — or they do so indirectly, by reshoring industry and expanding GDP.
History suggests both outcomes are likely. But if Trump stays the course and keeps tariffs high and stable, the United States could seize the opportunity of a generation: reindustrialize the economy, grow GDP, and restore prosperity for our grandkids.

Some exaggeration, but there have been some key measurable improvements.
Trump officially announced the "Trump savings accounts." The Trump savings accounts are a component of Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" which passed the House of Representatives last month.
The proposal calls for the Treasury Department to fund $1,000 in investment accounts for children born in the U.S. between Jan. 1, 2025 and Jan. 1, 2029.
Newborn children will be automatically enrolled in the program.
Parents or other account custodians can place up to an additional $5,000 in post-tax contributions annually into the accounts, which will be invested in index funds tracking the broader U.S. stock market.
The account beneficiary will be able to withdraw up to 50% of their balance beginning at age 18. That person will then have access to the full balance beginning at age 25 for qualified purposes, including small business loans and higher education, before gaining full control of the entire balance at 30 for any use. The Trump savings accounts will require post-tax contributions and tax withdrawals as either long-term capital gains or normal federal income, unlike the tax-free qualified disbursements from 529 higher education and Roth IRA retirement accounts.

In the first five months of President Donald Trump's second term, blue-collar hourly workers have experienced a nearly 2 percent increase in real wages—the most significant growth under any administration since President Richard Nixon.
New Treasury Department data suggest real (inflation-adjusted) hourly wage growth is up 1.7 percent year-to-date for production and nonsupervisory workers. By comparison, real wages declined 1.7 percent during the first five months under the previous administration.
The last time wages outpaced inflation at this pace was during the president's first term, says Joe Lavorgna, counselor to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. "Today's data confirm what we saw during President Trump's first administration: pro-growth policies like tax reform and deregulation had a measurable impact on real wages, especially for blue-collar workers. This isn't theoretical—it is showing up in the paychecks of everyday Americans," Lavorgna told The Epoch Times. The only other time a president recorded positive wage data was in 1969, when Nixon reported real blue-collar wage growth of 0.8 percent
Other presidents have reported negative growth over the past six decades: Ronald Reagan (negative 0.9 percent), George H.W. Bush (negative 3 percent), Bill Clinton (negative 0.6 percent), George W. Bush (negative 0.6 percent), and Barack Obama (negative 0.3 percent).
Hourly wage growth was flat under President Jimmy Carter.
Bessent touted the figures in a June 17 post on social media platform X, attributing the improvement to Trump's "pro-growth, America First policies."
"Hardworking Americans and Main Street businesses have never had a stronger ally in the [White House]," the secretary said.
Recently appearing on the "Pod Force One" podcast, Bessent attributed the figures to Trump's "emphasis on manufacturing" and actions removing illegal migrants from the workforce.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced the termination of Temporary Protected Status for approximately 500,000 foreign nationals as part of the Trump administration's effort to clamp down on the immigration crisis.
Under former President Joe Biden, the federal government vastly expanded so-called lawful pathways to entry, enabling millions of immigrants to come to the United States. One of those pathways included the expansion of Temporary Protected Status, which was created to shield foreign nationals from deportations based on temporarily unstable conditions in their home countries.
President Donald Trump vowed to roll back the former administration's overuse of the program, but faced legal challenges for attempting to end these deportation shields. The Supreme Court, however, delivered a monumental win in May, allowing the DHS to revoke the TPS program.
On Friday, Noem announced the termination of TPS for Haiti, which is now slated to end for approximately 500,000 Haitian nationals currently in the United State on Sept. 2.
Donald Trump said on June 29 that his administration was working on a solution where farmers and hospitality business owners could potentially retain some illegal immigrant workers if they're not involved in crime and pay taxes.
Speaking with Maria Bartiromo of Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures," Trump said he's trying to reconcile being both the "strongest immigration guy that there's ever been" and also the "strongest farmers [and hotels] guy."
"I cherish our farmers," Trump said, adding that some of the farmworkers being deported have been working in these positions for 15 to 20 years and "are good" but possibly entered the country "incorrectly."
"What we're going to do is we're going to do something for farmers, where we can let the farmer sort of be in charge," he said.
"The farmer knows he's not going to hire a murderer. But you know, when you go into a farm and he's had somebody working with him for nine years, doing this kind of work—which is hard work to do, and a lot of people aren't going to do it—and you end up destroying a farmer because you took all the people away, it's a problem."
Trump said he understands the farmers' position as well as those wanting a crackdown on illegal immigration.
I'd be willing to let the farm and hotel workers stay provided that they don't encourage their family members back home to sneak in.

It's been two weeks since the United States bombed Iran's nuclear facilities as part of Operation Midnight Hammer, and thus far, it's been quiet — no World War III, no involvement from Russia or China, no unrest in surrounding Arab nations, and no unrest on American soil. On the contrary, a ceasefire has been reached between Iran and Israel, and despite initial violations, it's holding.

Pew Research Center polling has revealed that President Donald Trump garnered 48% of the Hispanic vote in 2024, up from 28% in earlier elections. Former Vice President Kamala Harris received only 51%, a decline compared to previous Democrats like former Presidents Joe Biden and Bill Clinton. The numbers reflect a notable shift in demographic support, as Trump's gains among minority voters strongly bolstered his electoral performance.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday granted President Donald Trump a stay pending appeal, affirming that his administration's executive order directing agencies to develop reduction in force (RIF) plans is likely lawful.
The Court's 8-1 decision to stay the injunction approved by two lower courts allows the Trump administration to continue with plans to restructure federal agencies without required congressional authorization. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the lone dissent, while her liberal colleagues, Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, sided with the Trump administration.
On February 11, Trump issued an executive order seeking to reduce the size of the federal government through RIFs. In June, the administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court to pause a federal judge's order blocking mass layoffs and agency restructuring as part of the president's broader plan to downsize the government.

Charlie Kirk reported this week that President Trump faces growing pressure from GOP donors to cut a bipartisan deal offering amnesty to illegal aliens working in agriculture and hospitality. The donor class has long hated Trump and especially his supporters' demand for real border security and immigration enforcement.
Big business pushing for cheap labor isn't surprising. What's alarming is Trump echoing their rhetoric.
Ronald Reagan's 1986 amnesty doomed California. It transformed a red stronghold into the Democrats' electoral anchor. Trump can't afford to make the same mistake.

How Trump's Tariff Revenue Helped the Government Make Bank In June
(https://i.imgur.com/HKf437pm.jpeg)
Tariffs may be a concern for consumers, but they are starting to have a positive impact on the federal budget, data released by the Treasury Department showed.
The federal government took in more money than it spent in June, the government said today, helped partly by another increase in tariff revenues, which are now higher than they've been in at least a decade.
The U.S. collected $26.6 billion in tariff revenues last month, more than four times the $6.3 billion collected in June 2024. June's receipts are also up from $22.2 billion in May, following a surge in tariff collections in April as President Donald Trump's tariffs began to take hold.
One result of the increased tariff revenue is a $27 billion budget surplus for June. That surplus was primarily driven by an approximately $187 billion reduction in government spending for the month. The reduced spending comes amid efforts by the Trump administration to cut expenses through the Department of Government Efficiency and a reduction in the size of the federal workforce.

President Trump Considers Revoking Rosie O'Donnell's Citizenship: 'She Is a Threat to Humanity'
(https://i.imgur.com/kTqZa6qm.png)
Leftist television host Rosie O'Donnell, who moved to Ireland after President Trump took office in January, may lose her citizenship if the president has anything to do with it.
In a post Saturday on his Truth Social, Trump said he was "seriously" thinking about revoking her citizenship.
"Because of the fact that Rosie O'Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship. She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!" he wrote:
Breitbart News reported in March that O'Donnell has long threatened to move out of the United States "because the nation insists on rejecting her extreme, left-wing, agenda," and she was finally making good on her promise to "abandon" the nation "that is simply too sane for her to stomach."
When she announced in March that she was moving to Ireland, many people online were overjoyed.

The Supreme Court gives Donald Trump another big win.
The U.S. Supreme Court said President Donald Trump's administration can proceed with plans to lay off some 1,400 employees at the Department of Education—marking another win for the White House from the conservative-leaning high court.
A majority of the justices lifted a lower-court ruling that had indefinitely paused the administration's plan. Liberal Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan dissented.
What "legal" reasoning did the libs on the court think was justified to keep the staff in the department? Their feelings would be hurt if they were laid off? They would wind up on the streets and turn to crime? God, they can be stupid at all times.
Congress passed the first rescissions package in over two decades, giving Trump a major win and cutting off liberal propaganda outfits. This is fantastic. Don't stop here. There is plenty of waste to cut.
Recession Odds Collapse from 70 Percent to 19 Percent, Lowest Ever Recorded on Polymarket
(https://i.imgur.com/YCjxPiDm.jpeg)
The odds of a U.S. recession have fallen to their lowest level ever recorded on Polymarket, dropping from 70 percent in late April to just 19 percent this week.
The shift follows weeks of economic data indicating continued strength in consumer activity. According to Breitbart Business Digest, "Personal consumption expenditures rose 1.8 percent in the first quarter, beating forecasts for 1.2 percent. Durable goods, services, and nondurables all contributed." Additionally, rising consumer spending, along with stable inflation and real income gains, pointed to underlying momentum in the economy despite the first-quarter GDP contraction.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said in March he did not expect a recession, attributing this to $1.3 trillion in new investment and President Trump's tariff policy. "There's going to be no recession in America," Lutnick stated. "You're going to see over the next two years the greatest set of growth coming from America as Americans."
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent expressed a similar view in May, telling Congress that the initial 0.3 percent GDP contraction may be revised upward. "There is nothing in the data that shows that we are in a recession," Bessent remarked, citing a detailed analysis and stronger-than-expected job growth.

Another stupid Obama era rule has been erased.
Lawn and car guys are celebrating after Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin's latest push for deregulation.
Zeldin shared a letter Thursday encouraging manufacturers to "produce cans that best meet consumer needs," including gas cans "with vents to facilitate fast and smooth fuel flow." This push comes in response to regulations previously implemented by former President Barack Obama in 2009 that removed vents in gas cans in order to reduce vapor emissions.
The vents originally prevented a vacuum from forming inside the gas can, allowing it to pour gasoline smoothly. Since the regulation was rolled out, consumers and retailers have expressed frustration with the new design, which often causes gasoline to spill.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order meant to address the homelessness crisis in America on Thursday.
The order described the problem plaguing cities and then set out a plan to ease the crisis. The order said that under former President Joe Biden, the crisis had reached a historic rate of 274,000 people sleeping on the street on an average night.
"My Administration will take a new approach focused on protecting public safety," the order reads.
The federal government will provide funding in order to prioritize "shifting homeless individuals into long-term institutional settings for humane treatment through the appropriate use of civil commitment."
The order criticized billions of dollars of government funding that was spent on homelessness but did not tackle the root causes of the crisis.
"The overwhelming majority of these individuals are addicted to drugs, have a mental health disorder, or both," it reads.
The order authorized U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to seek remedies to allow local governments to relocate homeless people from tents and other public areas into rehabilitation, treatment, and other facilities.
The order also ensures that federal spending isn't wasted on programs that fund drug injection sites or illicit drug use.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt released a statement to Newsweek about the order.
"By removing vagrant criminals from our streets and redirecting resources toward substance abuse programs, the Trump administration will ensure that Americans feel safe in their own communities and that individuals suffering from addiction or mental health struggles are able to get the help they need," she said.

President Donald Trump announced a "full and complete trade deal" with South Korea on Thursday evening — an agreement committing $350 billion in investment into the United States and significantly eroding Korean automaker advantages in the U.S. market.
South Korea agreed to a 15 percent tariff on its goods entering America, compared to the 25 percent rate that would have been implemented if the two countries did not come to an alternative agreement by August 1. Trump also agreed to meet South Korean President Lee Jae-myung, a leftist who came to power with minimal foreign policy experience in June, for a summit to detail the provisions in the trade agreement.

There's a downside for the US placing tariffs on all Canadian imports, of course. Over 25 of their refineries, producing more than a quarter of their petroleum products, are tooled to handle Canada's heavy oil and cannot be re-tooled easily, quickly or cheaply to refine lighter grades.
The Americans will not be able to impose tariffs on our oil or auto parts without suffering immediate, mid-term economic pain of their own.
But if, in the chaos created by Liberal self-indulgence, Canada ends up starting a trade war by talking tough, the damage to our economy could last a decade. Another lost decade.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said on the last day of her South American tour that Ecuador's president said he would consider accepting Venezuelans who are in the United States illegally.
Noem visited and signed deals with her counterparts this week in Argentina, Chile, and Ecuador to continue ensuring cooperation in the region to prevent illegal immigrants and hardened criminals from reaching North America.
The Environmental Protection Agency has just set off what may be the most consequential policy shift in the auto industry in over a decade.
On Tuesday, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced a proposal to rescind the controversial 2009 Endangerment Finding, the legal foundation that has been used for 16 years to justify greenhouse gas emissions regulations impacting every car, truck, and bus sold in the U.S.
If finalized, this proposal would dismantle more than $1 trillion in regulatory mandates, including President Biden's aggressive electric vehicle requirements, and restore consumer choice to a market long constrained by unelected bureaucrats. It would also put the brakes on unpopular mandates like engine start-stop systems and costly EV infrastructure requirements that automakers say have driven up vehicle prices.
Foreign nationals are increasingly exiting the Trump economy. :drunk2:
Citing Bureau of Labor Statistics data accessed through the Federal Reserve Economic Data system, Snopes indicated that under former President Joe Biden, native-born Americans' share of job gains from January 2024 to June 2024 was 51.7%. While native-born Americans picked up roughly 1.09 million jobs, foreign-born individuals grabbed 1.02 million jobs.
Under President Donald Trump a year later, native-born Americans accounted for 100% of non-seasonally adjusted job gains from January to June.
The U.S. Department of Labor revealed on Friday that this trend continued into last month, stating, "Wages are up, investments are pouring into our nation, and native-born workers have accounted for ALL job gains since January!

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting will shut down after Republicans pulled federal funding from the organization.
For 60 years, the nonprofit has distributed federal money to public media stations and producers, supporting educational programming, local journalism, and emergency communications across the country.
"Despite the extraordinary efforts of millions of Americans who called, wrote, and petitioned Congress to preserve federal funding for CPB, we now face the difficult reality of closing our operations," said CPB President and CEO Patricia Harrison.
The closure will result in job losses. CPB said most staff positions will end on Sept. 30, the close of the fiscal year. The organization said it would maintain a small transition team through January 2026 to handle final responsibilities.

On Tuesday, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced a proposal to rescind the controversial 2009 Endangerment Finding, the legal foundation that has been used for 16 years to justify greenhouse gas emissions regulations impacting every car, truck, and bus sold in the U.S.
If finalized, this proposal would dismantle more than $1 trillion in regulatory mandates, including President Biden's aggressive electric vehicle requirements, and restore consumer choice to a market long constrained by unelected bureaucrats. It would also put the brakes on unpopular mandates like engine start-stop systems and costly EV infrastructure requirements that automakers say have driven up vehicle prices.

CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten laid out how President Donald Trump has been one of the most influential presidents so far this century as net migration to the United States drops to historic levels.
Enten showed data during a segment on CNN noting that the United States is on track to have negative net migration for the first time in 50 years. Not only has Trump's deportation efforts ramped up since January, but the administration says recent labor data shows there have been over 1 million self-deportations so far.
Enten explained that Trump is also an influential president because tariff rates are at an all-time high, currently sitting at 18% compared to 2% during the same time last year.

Trump's tariffs have become a 'not trivial' source of revenue for the federal government.
Nearly four months after the New York Times characterized Trump's approach as a "burn-it-down-first, figure-out-the-consequences-later recklessness," the paper admitted on Sunday that the tariffs are already netting a great deal of money for the government.
The Times' Washington, D.C., tax policy reporter Andrew Duehren confirmed on Sunday that Trump's recent assertion that "Tariffs are bringing Billions of Dollars into the USA!" was correct.
Revenue and reciprocity are the twin benefits of the Trump tariffs.
It must be a huge bitch for the Times to admit that they're wrong. They're pretty much saying "We're wrong." through gritted teeth.

President Trump is once again clamping down on government weaponization, this time against corrupt and discriminatory financial institutions.
Some big banks have a steady track record of participating in "government-directed" surveillance programs that single out and punish conservatives. Under former President Joe Biden's administration, some banks were directed to flag individuals who made transactions that involved terms like "Trump" or "MAGA" or with companies like Cabela's and Bass Pro Shop.
In response to this abuse, Trump's signed an executive order Thursday that will prohibit politically motivated debanking and protect hardworking Americans.

Mr Trump made good on yet another campaign promise last week, brokering a historic peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan — two nations that have been spilling blood for decades over territory in the Caucasus Mountains.
Trump pulled off this latest deal after securing peaceful resolutions between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Cambodia and Thailand, and India and Pakistan. Trump, now on a roll, appears poised to bring an end to the war in Ukraine.

President Donald Trump announced on Monday that he is taking major steps to address rampant crime in Washington, DC, "officially invoking section 740 of the district of Columbia Home Rule Act" and "placing the DC Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control," in addition to activating the National Guard.
Trump made the major declaration during a highly-anticipated press conference on D.C. crime Monday morning, declaring it "Liberation Day" in the nation's capital.
"This is Liberation Day in D.C., and we're going to take our capital back. We're taking it back. Under the authorities vested in me as the President of the United States, I'm officially invoking section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act — you know what that is — and placing the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control, and you'll be meeting the people that will be directly involved with that," Trump revealed right off the bat.
"Our capital city has been overtaken by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youth, drugged-out maniacs and homeless people, and we're not going to let it happen anymore," Trump declared.

President Trump signed a proclamation marking the 90th anniversary of the establishment of Social Security, while boasting changes in his recent tax law aimed at providing relief to seniors.
"On the 90th anniversary of the establishment of this historic program, I recommit to always defending Social Security, rewarding the men and women who make our country prosperous, and taking care of our own workers, families, seniors and citizens first," Trump said in the Oval Office.
"You reported it all the time. In four or five years, it's going to go bust, but not anymore, it's not," he claimed to reporters, while also boasting efforts in the administration aimed at finding "tremendous fraud, where we have illegal aliens."
Trump's comments come as his administration's plans to significantly reduce the agency's workforce to save money and protect benefits.

Bisignano wrote, "Since taking office, I have focused on modernizing operations; investing in our workforce; eliminating fraud, waste, and abuse; and improving how we serve the public, whether online, over the phone, or in person."
Bisignano said the agency is expanding online services and reducing phone and field office wait times. He promoted broader use of My SSA accounts as part of a digital‑first strategy.
Bisignano stated, "We have a clear path to achieving operational excellence and providing best-in-class service. Under President Trump's leadership, I have charted a new course that strengthens service delivery and secures the integrity and efficiency of our systems."

Ben Shapiro nails it. Trump is putting America First with his immigration overhaul.
This week, news emerged that the administration of U.S. President Donald has been setting new standards regarding incoming immigrants. According to Axios, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will now consider the "positive attributes" of migrants entering the country. Such attributes can include community involvement and educational level. Instead of simply seeking to rule out those with records of misconduct, the new system seeks to screen for better immigrants — ones who will enrich America.
Along the same lines, CIS will now disqualify applicants who engage in or support "anti-American activity." As USCIS spokesman Matthew Tragesser explained, "America's benefits should not be given to those who despise the country and promote anti-American ideologies. ... immigration benefits — including to live and work in the United States — remain a privilege, not a right."
Metrics for anti-Americanism include "circumstances where an alien has endorsed, promoted, supported, or otherwise espoused the views of a terrorist organization or group, including aliens who support or promote anti-American ideologies or activities, antisemitic terrorism and antisemitic terrorist organizations, or who promote antisemitic ideologies."
Shockingly, there are those who are concerned about such standards. Presumably, America can't be truly free unless we allow in those who support terrorist groups. One day, if we're lucky, they can even run for mayor of New York or congresswoman of Michigan. Such are the supposed blessings of liberty bestowed on foreigners by the free speech clause of our Constitution.
Professor of sociology Jane Lilly Lopez of Brigham Young University told the Associated Press, "For me, the really big story is they are opening the door for stereotypes and prejudice and implicit bias to take the wheel in these decisions. That's really worrisome." This, of course, ignores that there are evidentiary standards for any allegations of anti-Americanism. Skin colour or country of origin wouldn't presumably be enough to bar someone on grounds of anti-Americanism. But for the left, the only excuse for a pro-American ideology must be some form of subtle racism.
Meanwhile, Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, a senior fellow at the American Immigration Council, objected that the new standards were reminiscent of McCarthyism. This ignores the fact that during the Cold War, America did screen for membership in the Communist Party under the 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act, and that refugees and immigrants were screened by American law enforcement agencies to ensure that they were not agents of a foreign power or sympathetic to America's enemies.
Undergirding all these objections is a simple and ugly proposition: That becoming an American requires no actual investment in America, and that America ought to be a gigantic agglomeration of disassociated populations. Such a proposition would have been de facto impossible before the rise of the welfare state; people immigrating to the United States generally left places with greater security for an America without security but with grand opportunity, which meant that new immigrants had to learn English, learn a trade and embrace the Anglo-American cultural and legal traditions of the country to succeed.
With the rise of an enormous and durable social safety net, the math suddenly changed. People could immigrate to the United States without assimilating in any serious way and could maintain their pre-American cultures in toto. Multiculturalism, as a philosophy, can only survive if effectuated by a state that subsidizes fragmentation.
That process must now be reversed. And that can only be done by raising the bar to admission. Good immigrants make America stronger. Bad immigrants make it weaker. Treating all immigrants similarly isn't just foolish; it's dangerous. And the Trump administration is right for recognizing that root reality.
:good:

A shame that it is a reaction to the idiot that killed those people in Florida.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. indicated during a congressional hearing in June that kids "get 69 to 92 jabs" by the time they are 18 years old. Now, two doctors are working to change the burden of proof from on the patients who are subjected to them, to on the government agencies that effectively demand them.
Tony Lyons, president of MAHA Actio said that the "vaccines have never been properly tested, either individually, in groupings, or as the full schedule, so no one can honestly say that they are not linked to the chronic disease epidemic."
Two doctors backed by the advocacy group Stand for Health Freedom have filed a lawsuit against the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention challenging the agency's recommended childhood immunization schedule.
Dr. Paul Thomas and Dr. Kenneth Stoller, both of whom had their medical licenses suspended and revoked in recent years for standing up against the vaccination regime, want to flip the burden of proof on the matter.
Their complaint, filed on Aug. 15 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, notes that "America administers more vaccines than any nation on earth while producing the sickest children in the developed world. Yet CDC demands proof of harm while refusing to conduct the studies that could provide it."

Ultra-processed foods are undergoing increased scrutiny as Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and his supporters blame these often tasty snacks for contributing to chronic diseases in the U.S.
But what is ultra-processed food? There still isn't a universal definition.
While many ice creams, chips and sodas are considered ultra-processed, there's also a wide array of other foods that can be included in a healthy diet that fall into the same category, such as tofu, some canned fruits and vegetables, protein bars, cereals and nut milks.
"These are all quite processed and some of them can be classified as ultra-processed foods but because of their nutrient profiles, they might be better for us and not associated with the worst health outcomes," said Michele Polacsek, professor of public health at the University of New England and an expert on promoting healthy food choices.
Does that mean these foods will be targeted, too? Probably not, said Marion Nestle, a nutrition expert and emeritus professor at New York University.
"That would be impossible because of the way that Americans eat," she said, as research shows over 70% of American calories come from ultra-processed foods.
Ultra-processed foods, or UPFs, are foods that have been made by food companies using manufactured ingredients, rather than actual foods. If you've ever taken a look at some food labels, you may not recognize many of the ingredients listed. These are likely ultra-processed ingredients that are used to make food "taste better, look better and last longer on the shelf," Nestle said.

Donald Trump is pushing Congress to slash billions more in foreign spending with the White House's latest rescissions package.
Trump notified Congress Thursday night of his proposed rescissions package, which is set to slash nearly $5 billion in foreign aid programs.
The latest cuts include $3.2 billion in USAID funding, $322 million from the USAID-State Department Democracy Fund, $521 million of State Department contributions to other international organizations, $393 million in State Department contributions to peacekeeping activities, and another $445 million in peacekeeping aid.
"Since January, we've saved the taxpayers tens of billions of dollars," Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a post on X.

Trump says he will sign executive order and lead 'movement' against mail-in voting
https://ca.news.yahoo.com/trump-says-sign-executive-order-143848143.html
Donald Trump says he plans to "lead a movement" to "get rid of" mail-in voting and the use of voting machines to process ballots before 2026 midterm elections.
He said Monday that he intends to sign an executive order "to help bring HONESTY" to upcoming elections.
Donald Trump announced earlier this month that he was federalizing the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, D.C., and deploying the National Guard there in order to "re-establish law, order, and public safety."
While Democrats and other liberal pundits reflexively denounced Trump's intervention, their critiques were premature. Since Trump took action, violent crime in D.C. reportedly is down 45%, and carjackings are down 87%.
And now Trump vows to give Chicago the DC treatment unless Democrat Gov. Pritzker gets his act together.
Trump noted in a Saturday evening Truth Social post, "Six people were killed, and 24 people were shot, in Chicago last weekend, and JB Pritzker, the weak and pathetic Governor of Illinois, just said that he doesn't need help in preventing CRIME."
The president added, "He is CRAZY!!! He better straighten it out, FAST, or we're coming!"

Tom Homan explained that President Donald Trump gave him three tasks as border czar: secure the border, run a mass deportation operation, and find missing unaccompanied migrant minors.
"We have the most secure border in the history of the nation," he stated, giving credit to the president and Border Patrol agents. "Illegal immigration is down 96%."
Trump's success with the border proves that the Biden administration "unsecured the most secure border on purpose," Homan declared.
Trump seeks to rebrand Department of Defense as Department of War
(https://i.imgur.com/5Zm9ewMm.jpeg)
US President Donald Trump will sign an executive order on Friday that directs the Department of Defense to be known as the Department of War.
The move would restore a name the agency last held in the 1940s and, according to the text of the order seen by the BBC, the aim is to "project strength and resolve".
The department will initially use the new name as a "secondary title" while the administration seeks congressional approval to make the change permanent.
The White House is yet to say how much a rebrand would cost, but US media expect a billion-dollar price tag for the overhaul of hundreds of agencies, emblems, email addresses and uniforms.

Work at a Hyundai Motor car battery facility under construction in Georgia has ground to a halt after hundreds of workers, predominantly South Korean nationals, were arrested in an immigration raid.
The site is one of the Korean car maker's most substantial investments in the US.
Approximately 475 people were arrested, according to US immigration officials, marking the largest single-site enforcement operation in the history of the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
A Hyundai Motor spokesperson said none of the people arrested were employed directly by the company.
"Hyundai has zero tolerance for those who don't follow the law."
The arrested workers were being held at ICE's Folkston, Georgia, detention facility, Schrank said. Most of the 475 people are South Korean nationals, he said.
Korean media has put the number of South Koreans detained at roughly 300 people.
They had the wrong type of visas for what they were here for. Hyundai should've filled out the correct paperwork.

In the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the public demonstrations about it, President Donald Trump indicated he would look into those financing the "professional agitators" who have taken over the streets in recent years.
In a Friday appearance on "Fox & Friends," Trump renewed his promise to investigate Democrat mega-donor George Soros.
"We're going to look into Soros," the president told the Fox hosts. "I think it's a RICO case against him and other people."
Lefties killed one of the President's best friends and then gloated about it afterward.
Trump is PISSED.
Fortunately since lefties never learned to count they still haven't realized they did it while Trump still has over three years left in his term.
Right now lefties are whining about getting fired but soon that will be the least of their problems.

Donald Trump signaled a desire on Monday to have his administration designate Antifa a domestic terrorist organization. The liberal media appears keen to use a misleading narrative to shield anarcho-communist militants from a possible crackdown.
Various outlets and publications have suggested that Antifa cannot be designated as a single terrorist group because "Antifa" is supposedly a catch-all term for a motley patchwork of radical leftist groups that just happen to dress the same, use the same slogans, target the same kinds of people, engage in the same kinds of violence, share the same base ideology, and share the same origin.
Donald Trump indicated on Monday that his administration is poised to take action against violent leftist radicals and to bring racketeering charges against the liberal organizations that apparently support them.
Within hours of Trump revealing that a crackdown is imminent, White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller stated on "The Charlie Kirk Show," "We are going to use every resource we have at the Department of Justice, Homeland Security, and throughout this government to identify, disrupt, dismantle, and destroy these networks and make America safe again for the American people."
A new report from the Capital Research Center might make the administration's job a little easier — at least in the way of identifying nodes in the nonprofit funding network that Democratic mega-donor George Soros has bequeathed to his son Alexander and in justifying potential action against them.
The 95-page report details how George Soros' Open Society Foundations has poured tens of millions of dollars into U.S.-based organizations that are allegedly engaged in activities the FBI has defined as domestic terrorism as well as into foreign outfits allegedly linked to designated foreign terrorist organizations.
The Capital Research Center indicated that Open Society has awarded at least $23,275,000 to seven groups that allegedly "directly assist domestic terrorism and criminality on U.S. soil"; at least $50.57 million across 41 groups that have allegedly endorsed terrorist attacks and/or are directly linked to foreign terrorist groups or their known front groups; and nearly $10 million to five nonprofits that allegedly qualify as associates of terrorist groups or pro-terrorist groups.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s efforts to Make America Healthy Again have consistently been paying off in the steep uphill battle against Big Pharma and Big Food. This week, a large food manufacturer joined the ranks of corporations making big changes to their ingredients in the furtherance of the MAHA agenda.

The press release states that it plans to remove high fructose corn syrup, sucralose, butylated hydroxyanisole/butylated hydroxytoluene, and titanium oxide by the end of 2025.

I might have to fire Pam Bondi.
Donald Trump has warned that he may declare a national emergency in Washington due to the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD)'s lack of cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Mayor Muriel Bowser has maintained that immigration enforcement is not the proper role of the MPD, even with federal coordination. Trump is now threatening federal control if ICE cooperation does not resume, citing the potential of rising crime.
Trump wrote, "The Federal Government, under my auspices as President of the United States of America, has stepped into the complete criminal mess that was Washington, D.C., our Nation's Capital."
Trump claimed his earlier 30-day federal intervention reduced crime and warned that ending ICE coordination could undo progress. He praised Bowser's recent cooperation before cautioning about renewed federalization.

Quote from: The Donald on September 22, 2025, 10:55:31 AMI might have to fire Pam Bondi.
I know some Republican do not like her but I don't know why.
President Trump has rightly demanded accountability from Attorney General Pam Bondi for her "safety dance" tenure at the Department of Justice. That same spirit of accountability, however, must also apply to the president himself — and one of his judicial nominees simply will not do.
Rebecca Taibleson, nominated for the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, donated to ActBlue, Joe Biden's 2020 campaign, and Kamala Harris' 2015 Senate run. She is 42 years old. If confirmed, she could shape precedent against conservatives for decades. So why is he nominating her?
This pick occurred before Charlie Kirk's assassination. In its aftermath, it looks even worse in the shadow of what appears to be more transgender-inspired mayhem. The American Family Association notes that Taibleson has supported groups that promote transgender ideology and was married by a rabbi known for the same.
At a time when transgender-inspired violence has spilled blood in the streets, why reward someone who aligns with its cultural enablers?
The Trump administration canceled grants for bike lanes in communities around the country this month, each time offering a simple rationale for yanking back federal aid: the projects aren't designed for cars.
A San Diego County road improvement project including bike lanes "appears to reduce lane capacity and a road diet that is hostile to motor vehicles," a US Department of Transportation official wrote, rescinding a $1.2 million grant it awarded nearly a year ago.
A excellent decision by the administration. Bike lanes increase commute times, increase emissions and place a hidden tax on everything that has to be transported.

Is this the end of the Soros family paying for the downfall of Western countries. The United States anyway. I sure hope so.
The Capital Research Center, a nonprofit watchdog that scrutinizes the impact of money in politics and politics in philanthropy, released a damning 95-page report on Sept. 17 concerning Democrat megadonor George Soros' Open Society Foundations.
The report, authored by counterterrorism expert Ryan Mauro, indicated that Open Society has poured tens of millions of dollars into U.S.-based organizations that are allegedly engaged in activities the FBI has defined as domestic terrorism, as well as into foreign outfits allegedly linked to designated foreign terrorist organizations.
In the wake of yet another leftist attack — this time a fatal shooting on Wednesday at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement Center in Dallas, Texas — the Department of Justice signaled that Soros' grant-making foundation would soon be visited by consequence.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche's office has issued a directive to U.S. attorney's offices in California, Maryland, and New York and the cities of Chicago, Detroit, and Washington, D.C., instructing federal prosecutors to prepare to investigate Soros' shady group, reported the New York Times.

Donald Trump unveiled a new deal to drastically reform the pharmaceutical industry and reduce drug prices for consumers.
Trump announced that Pfizer would be heavily discounting some of its "most popular medications" and that all new medications introduced in the U.S. markets would be sold at the "reduced Most Favored Nation cost." Trump also revealed that these discounted drugs will be available for purchase on a federally operated "TrumpRx" direct-to-consumer website.
"It's going to have a huge impact on bringing Medicaid costs down, like nothing else. ... Especially, low-income Americans will be helped so greatly," Trump said in the Oval Office Tuesday.
"This is a consequential moment for our country," press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a post on X. "Drug prices WILL be lower for everyday Americans, thanks to the negotiating prowess and determination of President Donald J. Trump. Democrats have been wanting to do this for decades. The Trump Administration has delivered."
Since the topic drifted to trans issues.
If elected mayor, Zohran Mamdani vowed to establish an office for "LGBTQIA+ affairs" and invest $65 million in "gender-affirming care." :facepalm:
Operation Midway Blitz, the immigration enforcement surge underway in Chicago since the beginning of September, continued with a large show of force targeting gang members. Tensions are running high among different leaders as Trump continues to execute on his deportation mandate.
On Tuesday, federal agents descended on a building in Chicago in a raid targeting illegal aliens, some with suspected ties to Tren de Aragua. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents surrounded a building, with some agents rappelling down from Black Hawk helicopters.
Nearly 300 federal agents from FBI, Border Patrol, ICE, and the ATF assisted in the operation in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood. Newsweek reported that roughly 30 illegal aliens were detained, some with suspected Tren de Aragua affiliation.
President Trump designated Tren de Aragua as a foreign terrorist organization at the beginning of his second term.

Donald Trump has once again trolled Democrats for giving the administration the perfect opportunity to further implement the MAGA mandate.
As the federal government enters its second day of the shutdown, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Thursday that layoffs will likely be in the thousands. This estimate comes as Trump and Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought meet to identify which "Democrat Agencies" should be cut. :s_laugh:
Your president has the backs of the working class. :good:
Donald Trump announced earlier this week his effort aimed at lowering drug costs, which includes the creation of a "TrumpRx" website, where Americans can buy medicine at a discount — and somehow got Pfizer to agree to join him.
"The United States is done subsidizing the health care of the rest of the world," Trump said. "By taking this bold step, we're ending the era of global price gouging at the expense of American families."
Surprisingly, Pfizer is the first pharmaceutical company to comply with Trump's demands, which include selling drugs to Medicaid and setting prices of new drugs at "Most-Favored Nation" levels, which is the lowest price available in other countries.

The Hamas terror group has agreed to a deal negotiated by President Donald Trump to release all of the remaining hostages in captivity from the heinous attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.
The president has been trying to secure peace in the Gaza Strip after Israel responded to the attack with military operations intended to target and dispose of Hamas terrorists.

Donald Trump early Sunday sent 300 federalized National Guard troops from California to Portland, Oregon.
The Trump administration's reported move to mobilize California National Guard members in Portland comes after a federal judge on Saturday blocked Trump's attempt to mobilize 200 Oregon National Guard members in Portland, the Times said.
Israel and Hamas agreed to the first phase of Donald Trump's plan to end the two-year war in Gaza. The US president said all 48 remaining hostages — 20 of whom are believed to be alive — would be released "very soon". Under the terms of his 20-point peace plan, Israel would be expected to release almost 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, pull back its troops from the front lines and allow a surge of aid into the besieged Gaza Strip.
The agreement marks a significant breakthrough in Trump's renewed push to end the conflict. What is yet unclear is whether the initial phase will lead to a broader agreement on the future of Gaza, let alone a lasting peace. Even if Trump's plan is adopted in full and a ceasefire holds, it will take decades and tens of billions of dollars to rebuild Gaza.
Putting his doubters to shame once again, President Donald Trump has successfully brokered a peace in Gaza. The deal, which the Israeli government will vote on Thursday, was signed just days before the announcement of this year's coveted Novel Peace Prize.
The American trucking industry is facing numerous underreported challenges that directly impact national security, supply chain integrity, and road safety, among other critical issues that were exacerbated by the Biden administration's open-border crisis.
While the Trump administration's Department of Transportation, under the leadership of Secretary Sean Duffy, has already moved to address some of the many challenges related to the issuance of commercial driver's licenses, often referred to as CDLs, the American public remains largely unaware of the extent of those looming dangers from years of insufficient oversight in this area.
Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought announced Friday that the administration has officially begun issuing reduction in force notices, laying off over 4,200 government workers across several key departments, like Treasury, Health and Human Services, and Homeland Security. As the government approaches its third week of the shutdown, Democrats are left weighing their options.
These layoffs come as no surprise. Vought previously threatened Democrats with mass layoffs just days before the September 30 funding deadline. Still, Democrats are feigning surprise.

I don't blame the Trump administration. If Argentina goes back to the failed Peronist policies the US would be wasting billions.
Donald Trump suggested the $20 billion lifeline the US is planning for Argentina could be contingent on libertarian leader Javier Milei's success in the midterm elections.
"If he wins we're staying with him, and if he doesn't win we're gone," Trump told reporters Tuesday, adding that the governments also planned to discuss a potential free trade agreement.
Short-term peso interest rates jumped back into the triple digits as neither the US nor Argentina intervened in the currency market for a second straight trading day. Argentina's bonds dropped across the curve, reversing earlier gains.
"We want to help Argentina," Trump said, touting trade as a way to bolster the country. "They have great product, and we used to do a lot of trade."
Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced on Wednesday that he is withholding significant funds from a blue state that has failed to comply with English language proficiency standards for commercial drivers.
Duffy warned that there would be consequences for states that failed to comply with ELP standards.
This issue within the American trucking industry was thrown into the national spotlight in August when an illegal alien truck driver was accused of making an unlawful U-turn and killing three people in Florida. The Indian national obtained his license in California.
The DOT previously described California as "the most egregious" offender in meeting the English proficiency requirement for commercial driver's license holders.
"My message is very simple," Duffy warned. "Get into compliance now, or we'll pull funding and we'll force you into compliance."

The Department of Justice under President Trump has formally filed what appear to be the first known charges related to Antifa as a terrorist organization.
In early July, Antifa gunmen were allegedly involved in a violent ambush outside a federal facility in Texas called the Prairieland Detention Center, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Alvarado, Texas.
In a document citing the incident, the federal government provided more details about an alleged Antifa terror cell.
A "North Texas Antifa Cell" of at least 11 operatives who were "clad in black and donning masks" attacked the detention center on the Fourth of July, 2025, the DOJ wrote in court documents. The government alleged that some of the operatives were wearing body armor and carrying firearms as well.
As Alvarado police were issuing commands to a "black-clad figure," one accused Antifa member allegedly yelled, "Get to the rifles."
That same person then allegedly opened fire on officers, hitting one in the neck area. The wounded officer fell to the ground but was able to return fire.
The accused continued to fire additional rounds until his rifle jammed, which is when the attackers fled the scene, the document added. Police also reportedly found a flag reading, "Resist Fascism. Fight Oligarchy."
Prosecutors previously described the incident as an "ambush" and a "coordinated attack."
Police arrested most of the alleged Antifa cell after the attack. Many were arrested near the scene of the crimes, the DOJ wrote. Alleged Antifa members Zachary Evetts and Cameron Arnold, aka Autumn Hill, were named in the document.
The DOJ claimed that the Antifa cell subscribes to "revolutionary anarchist or autonomous Marxist ideology," which explicitly calls for "the overthrow of the United States Government."
"Antifa adherents have increasingly targeted agents and facilities related to DHS's Immigration and Customs Enforcement," the document added.
Quote from: Herman on October 16, 2025, 09:50:16 PMThe Department of Justice under President Trump has formally filed what appear to be the first known charges related to Antifa as a terrorist organization.
In early July, Antifa gunmen were allegedly involved in a violent ambush outside a federal facility in Texas called the Prairieland Detention Center, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Alvarado, Texas.
In a document citing the incident, the federal government provided more details about an alleged Antifa terror cell.
A "North Texas Antifa Cell" of at least 11 operatives who were "clad in black and donning masks" attacked the detention center on the Fourth of July, 2025, the DOJ wrote in court documents. The government alleged that some of the operatives were wearing body armor and carrying firearms as well.

Numerous Democrats are foaming at the mouth over the expansion of the White House East Wing with a stunning 90,000 square-foot addition paid for by President Donald Trump and other donors.
In response to the news that construction was under way on Trump's ballroom, Hillary Clinton — the twice-failed presidential candidate and former first lady who absconded from the White House in 2001 with a small fortune's worth of furniture and furnishings that weren't hers to take — said, "It's not his house. It's your house. And he's destroying it."
Besides referencing in its major events timeline Presidents William Howard Taft's remodeling of the West Wing, Franklin D. Roosevelt's expansion of it, and Harry Truman's "total reconstruction" of the White House's interior.
