Trump's Doing Great Things for the Economy. Why Won't GOPers Say So? - American Thinker

With the stakes dizzily high, President Donald J. Trump has delivered a series of bold, concrete economic actions that cut real costs for everyday families. - Joseph Ford Cotto 

He has paid attention to key domestic priorities.

• Consider the direct relief on household essentials. 
• Trump ended Biden-Harris-era restrictions on refrigerants used in refrigerators and air conditioners. These prior mandates had inflated expenses for moving and keeping perishable items, which translated into higher prices at checkout for food and daily necessities...
• The President also moved to fix the 2024 Emissions Reduction and Reclamation Rule. It demanded burdensome leak repairs across most large refrigeration setups, thereby raising consumer prices.

These adjustments deliver broad benefits.

• Supermarkets gain breathing room. 
• Home cooling systems become more affordable to maintain. 
• Semiconductor production and medical logistics see reduced overhead, which flows downstream to families. 
• Overall, the package saves Americans $2.4 billion...

Bus driver in crash that killed 5, including 2 kids, was Chinese national who did not speak English, Sec. Duffy says | Blaze Media

Bus driver in crash that killed 5, including 2 kids, was Chinese national who did not speak English, Sec. Duffy says | Blaze Media: 

Duffy posted the findings from the investigation to social media.

"Local police confirm the driver of this motorcoach — a man from China who became a U.S. citizen — doesn't speak English. He received his commercial drivers license from New York State in 2024," Duffy wrote.

"Unacceptable. This is exactly why we are holding states accountable, enforcing the rules of the road, and cracking down on drivers who can't speak English," he added.

"The IRS is now giving guidance on the Form 990, which nonprofits they have to file. We are going to DEMAND that nonprofits know their grant recipients."
"So if a grant recipient is violent, if they are suppressing people's rights, then YOU are responsible for that."

“𝘍𝘳𝘦𝘦” is the great myth of Canadian healthcare.  - M.A. Rothman@MichaelARothman

• A Canadian who moved to the US laid out the math: on a $150,000 income in Ontario, you’re taxed at a 34% average rate, with every dollar past $150K taxed at 𝟒𝟔%. 
• In Texas or Florida, that same income is taxed around 16% — and Florida has no state income tax at all. 
• The hidden bill comes due in care you can’t get. 

Per the Fraser Institute, the median wait from referral to treatment hit 𝟑𝟎 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 — the longest ever recorded. 

A typical family of four pays roughly $17,700 a year in taxes to fund the system.

'Rampant fraud': Probe targets 2 Somali women for allegedly stealing $21 million from taxpayers * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh: 

There are estimates that health services frauds in Minnesota, centered around the immigrant Somali community there, could have cost taxpayer billions of dollars. Another case that was just announced appears to support that concern. This time it's two Somali women who are accused of various fraud counts for allegedly stealing $21 million from taxpayers in a fraud scheme. Some of the lucre apparently was sent overseas, authorities said.

Immigrants Are Openly Buying Food with Food Stamps and Collecting It from Charities. - Muckraker@realmuckraker

Then Shipping It Overseas to Sell for Profit In Lawrence, Massachusetts, a whistleblower revealed a welfare scam that the Dominican community has been running for over a decade. 

Here is how it works: 

• Dominican immigrants buy food with EBT cards or take it for free from food banks. 
• They then load it into shipping barrels and send it to the Dominican Republic, where it is sold for profit in local bodegas. 

We tracked the entire pipeline, from corner stores in Massachusetts to shipping hubs in New York to bodegas in Santo Domingo that are stocked with food paid for by the American taxpayer...
