What Constitution?

Lawyers are supposed to have at least a cursory knowledge of the U.S. Constitution. Unfortunately, some of them don’t or know it and refuse to respect its limits. On Monday, Just the News posted an article about a blatant example of ignoring Constitution limits on searches and seizures or attorney-client privilege.

The article reports:

Unsealed court records reveal at least two Obama-appointed judges — often openly critical of President Trump — signed off on monitoring communications for top Trump aide Susie Wiles. Smith never disclosed to the judges that he was planning on spying on lawyers. The results tracked calls made to and from lawmakers, other lawyers and journalists.

The documents made public Monday by the White House Government Transparency Task Force include two applications by the former special counsel to use a pen register and a tap and trace device to monitor the incoming and outgoing calls of current White House chief of staff Susie Wiles’s phone while she led Trump’s fundraising operation at the SAVE America PAC.

Pen register and tap and trace devices are used to gather private data on telephone calls, including when and where the calls were made, from whom to whom, and the length of the calls. While they do not include the actual contents of the calls, they often provide investigators with valuable information. 

Both applications came in winter and spring 2023 after Trump announced he was running for president and as Smith investigated allegations that the former president had mishandled classified documents after the conclusion of his first term. The filings are redacted, but an administration official told Just the News that Wiles was the subject of Smith’s requests. 

The article quotes Harvard University law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz:

Smith has testified he believes he did nothing wrong and would investigate and prosecute Trump the same way today, insisting no politics were involved in his decision-making.

Nonetheless, Dershowitz said the record of Smith’s tactics, which included tracking the lawmakers’ and defense lawyers’ phone records and the tracking of Trump’s wife and son’s travels, was troubling.

“Here we have a clear violation of expectations of privacy. When you make a phone call and you’re a lawyer, you do not expect the fact that you made that phone call to, say, a wiretap expert or a lie detector expert, or a witness. You don’t expect that the government will get access to that, and yet the government has access to who the defense attorneys called,” Dershowitz said.

“And that would give them a tremendous advantage in any case. It could give them the names of potential witnesses, and you know ultimately that would have to come out, but it wouldn’t have to come out at the time that this investigative tactic was being used,” he added. ” So I think there’s a lot of work to be done to make sure that expectations of privacy and civil liberties beyond the Constitution are adhered to.”

Where are the orange jumpsuits?

Not Surprising, But Sad

On Friday, David Strom at Hot Air posted an article about the latest awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize. Not surprisingly, it didn’t go to President Trump. I would like to point out that the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to President Obama when he had been in office for less than a year and had done nothing to earn it. It seems that the prestige of the Prize has been definitely diminished in recent years. This year’s Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Navi Pillay.

The article reports:

So who is this outstanding exemplar of human rights advocacy? Why, she’s a South African judge who put together the case for prosecuting Israel at The Hague, of course. She’s the first nonwhite woman on South Africa’s High Court, and later a judge on the ICC Appeals Chamber from 2003–2008. After that, she served as UN High Commissioner for Human Rights from 2008 to 2014. In 2021, she chaired the UNHRC’s open-ended Commission of Inquiry on the occupied Palestinian territory.

It all sounds so NGO-y, doesn’t it? There are all the right words, and all the proper saccharine sentimentality that works perfectly to launder the raw hatred for Jews that lies just underneath the surface. 

It was all a sham, and we can know that her role at the “Commission of Inquiry on the occupied Palestinian territory” was a sham because, before she was appointed, she had already rendered her opinion. Before taking the chair in July 2021, Pillay signed a June 2020 manifesto calling on governments to “Sanction Apartheid Israel” and a June 2021 letter urging Biden to punish Israel. She took the supposedly impartial job a month later.

It is amazing to me how some people can look at Israel, a country about the size of New Jersey, and blame it for any unrest in the Middle East. You really have to overlook a lot of basic facts to do that.

It’s interesting to me that she is a black woman from South Africa. South Africa right now is not a poster child for equal rights or peace. The testimonies of the white farmers who simply inherited their farms and became a target for murder and property theft in South Africa are frightening. Pillay needs to clean up her own back yard before she accepts a prize for promoting peace.

A Step In The Right Direction

On Tuesday, The Daily Caller posted an article about a fraud prevention program put in place in the Treasury Department in 2026. The obvious question is why wasn’t this done long ago.

The article reports:

The U.S. Treasury announced the successful implementation of fraud prevention programs across the Department in 2026 protecting a significant amount of taxpayer money.

On Monday, the Treasury Department confirmed it had screened over 1.1 billion federal payments totaling $3.7 trillion dollars and identified 13,500 fraudulent payments worth $175 million that would have gone to deceased individuals, according to its Tuesday press release.

“Treasury continues to transform how the federal government protects taxpayer dollars by using better data, stronger controls, and advanced technology to stop fraud and improper payments before money goes out the door,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in the release. “In the past year alone, Treasury built and deployed new safeguards.”

The article concludes:

Through the Do Not Pay program, the government analyzed and screened 2.3 billion records through the Public Assistance Reporting Information System (PARIS), according to the department’s Monday press release.

The Treasury implemented these programs in coordination with President Donald Trump’s March 2025 Executive Order 14249, “Protecting America’s Bank Account Against Fraud, Waste, and Abuse.”

Unfortunately, this program was implemented through an Executive Order and can be undone if the Democrats win Congress in the mid-term elections or the presidency in 2028. We not only need to elect Republicans, we need to elect Republicans who will turn Executive Orders like this into law!

Why No One Should Vote For Democrats In The Mid-Term Elections

Posted on by

Usually when a political party is out of power and running in an election to gain power, they lay out their plan to make the country and everyone in it more successful. The out-of-power party gives us a positive reason to elect them. That is not the case in this November’s election.

On Monday, Townhall posted an article detailing some of the Democrat’s plans if they retake Congress. Nothing they plan will actually benefit the American people.

The article reports:

Democrats have given a glimpse of what they plan if they win back control of either chamber of Congress.

Other than launching another impeachment attempt against President Donald Trump, it appears Democrats also plan to renew their lawfare against Trump and his family. They plan to investigate the president’s family business to find something they can use against him.

The article quotes the U.K. Independent:

If Democrats win a majority in either the House or Senate in November’s midterm elections, corporate contributors funding President Donald Trump’s ballroom and participants in Trump family business transactions could face immediate congressional scrutiny, according to several lawmakers, legal experts, and Capitol Hill aides.

Securing command of either chamber would give Democrats subpoena authority and the financial resources to expand oversight staff. This would allow inquiries to begin as early as February, likely triggering prolonged legal disputes that would bring the Trump family’s business holdings into sharp focus.

Such congressional inquiries could define the second half of Trump’s term, following two years during which his family ventured into artificial intelligence, prediction markets, drones, and cryptocurrency, while the president’s personal wealth expanded by an estimated $2.2 billion.

“I don’t think the Democrats are going to have patience. They’re going to expect documents pretty quickly. You’re not going to play the old run-out-the-clock game,” noted Ashley Callen, an attorney at Jenner & Block and former general counsel to Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson.

Speaking to reporters on September 17, US House of Representatives Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York stated: “We’re going to hold the crooks accountable, beginning on day one.”

Much of President Trump’s worth is in real estate, which has increased in value during the past two years. I suspect that his other investments in Truth Social and other things have also paid off. President Trump was a shrewd businessman before becoming President. Why would that change? I would also like to point out that in America people are innocent until proven guilty. We also prosecute crime. We do not go after people searching for crime. We do not need two years of witch hunts–we need two more years of moving forward. Despite the fact that the mainstream media chooses not to report it, the Trump economy is doing very well. According to AI, the predicted third quarter growth of the American economy is 4.3%, significantly exceeding earlier forecasts. Let’s keep moving in that direction.

The article at Townhall concludes:

If they (the Democrat party) regain control of either chamber of Congress, not only are they going to launch impeachment proceedings against Trump, but they are going to pick up where they left off before they lost control of the House.

Of course, this strategy has two purposes. Attack Trump and distract from the fact that they won’t actually have any real solutions to the problems Americans face.

Saving American Taxpayer Money

On Friday, The Hill posted an article about about President Trump using the “pocket rescission” process to cancel almost $1 billion in federal funding. In the grand scheme of things $1 billion isn’t a great amount, but with the deficit being what it is, every little bit counts.

Here are some numbers that illustrate the history of the federal budget. In 2007, the federal budget for the United States was approximately $2.729 trillion. That is $4.41 trillion in today’s dollars. That reflects a cumulative inflation rate of about 61.95% since 2007. The current federal budget for the fiscal year 2025 is projected to be approximately $7 trillion with a deficit of $1.8 trillion, which was 5.8% of the GDP. That is not great, but it is moving in the right direction. The Republicans took control of Congress in 2024. Today’s high budget numbers are not solely due to inflation, they are due to runaway spending. In 2019, the federal budget was $4.4 trillion, with a deficit of about $984 billion, which represented 4.6% of the GDP. In 2020, the federal budget was $6.55 trillion, with a deficit of $3.1 trillion, which represented 14.9% of the GDP. In 2021, the federal budget was $6.8 trillion, with a deficit of $2.8 trillion, representing about 12.4% of the GDP. Theoretically, the House of Representatives controls spending. The Democrats controlled the House during the significant jump in spending in 2020 and deficit jumping to $3.1 trillion. If you want to stop runaway spending, don’t elect Democrats to the House of Representatives.

The article at The Hill reports:

President Trump cancelled almost $1 billion in federal funding Friday using the controversial “pocket rescission” process, which allows him to sidestep congressional approval.

Most of the cancellations targeted Health and Human Services (HHS) programs serving undocumented immigrants and unaccompanied children in court, as well as similar initiatives under the agency’s Minority Health office and the Department of Education’s Special Programs for Migrant Students.

“These funds previously went to pro-illegal immigration programs and Non-Governmental Organizations that provided services to refugees, asylees, and other non-citizens and put unaccompanied children in harm’s way,” the White House wrote in a press release. 

The release continued, “Thanks to President Trump’s successful border policies, the illegal alien invasion is over and there are fewer people crossing our border than ever before.”

The White House went on to say the decrease in border crossings meant funding toward these programs became excessive, warranting their recission.

In Washington money equals power, so several Congressmen are not happy about the cuts. However, as a taxpayer, I am grateful that someone is taking action to trim the very bloated federal budget.

It’s Time To Take A Second Look

Posted on by

On Wednesday, The Gateway Pundit posted an article about a letter sent to Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. by Americans for Health Freedom.

The article reports:

Advocating for individual rights and autonomy in medical decision-making, Americans for Health Freedom, sent an open letter on September 18, 2026, to Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and President Donald Trump.

The signatories are publicly opposing the policies overseen by Secretary Kennedy and concerning the mRNA platform. This technology utilizes synthetic messenger RNA encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles to direct human cells to generate specific proteins aimed at preventing or treating diseases, a process that many leading medical experts consider dangerous and potentially lethal when introduced to the human body.

The letter explicitly states that “while the centerpiece of the MAHA and health freedom agenda has been removal of mRNA shots, [Kennedy and Trump] have failed to take decisive action on this front despite overwhelming credible evidence to the harm of this technology. Instead, [their] policies related to mRNA technology are neutered and self-defeating, putting pregnant women and children at risk, misleading parents and eroding their rights, and failing to help those harmed by vaccines.”

The article notes:

Lt. Col. Long (retired Army flight surgeon Lt. Col. Theresa Long) is currently reviewing approximately 55,000 adverse event reports related to the shot, which include 2,544 accounts of death, raising concerns among many regarding the potential link to the mRNA shots.

“In light of these serious concerns and the collective voice of the signatories,” Hulscher (Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, an Epidemiologist and Foundation Administrator at the McCullough Foundation). argued, “it is evident that the call for a reassessment of mRNA vaccine technologies and related policies is not just a matter of individual rights, but a pressing public health issue.” For him, the overwhelming evidence of adverse effects associated with mRNA vaccine underscores the urgency for authorities to prioritize transparency and safety in medical interventions.

As the dialogue continues, he said, it is crucial that policymakers heed the warnings of the medical and scientific community, ensuring that the health and well-being of all citizens, particularly the most vulnerable, remain at the forefront of decision-making processes.

It is time to take a second look at the science behind this vaccine technology. Please follow the link above to read the entire article.

Pay For Play Only Works If You Get What You Pay For!

The Democrats are getting ready to be in charge of Congress. They have already stated that if they get control of Congress in the mid-term elections, they will begin impeachment hearings against President Trump immediately. It really doesn’t matter if he has done anything worthy of impeachment–they just want to impeach him. The media is already getting ready to help.

On Wednesday, RealClearInvestigations posted an article about the latest false accusation leveled against President Trump.

The article reports:

In a segment titled “The Pardon Economy,” veteran CBS reporter Lesley Stahl alleges that Trump has upended the way U.S. presidents have dispensed pardons for “100 years or more” by creating a “new system” that involves lobbyists and high-priced “pardon brokers.”

Stahl’s report suggests that Trump has replaced the normal order – in which pardons typically go through an apolitical review by the Justice Department’s Office of the Pardon Attorney– with a scheme that looks like “pay-to-play.” It has already led Democrats to vow they will investigate the issue if they retake the House in the November mid-term elections.

To situate Trump in this “pardon lobbyists” narrative, Stahl links the White House to two convicted con artists who claim close ties to Trump without disclosing one critical detail: There is no evidence the two have ever succeeded in getting anyone a pardon. While their efforts suggest that some in Washington may be trying to capitalize on the narrative about Trump’s alleged corruption – inspired, in part, by questionable pardons he has issued previously – “60 Minutes” offers no concrete proof connecting the administration to these money-making schemes.

Stahl’s report also ignored the long history of wrongdoers paying exorbitant fees for lobbyists to get their pardons viewed by the Oval Office – most famously Bill Clinton’s brother, Roger, and Hillary’s brothers, Hugh and Tony Rodham.

Although Stahl’s report quotes Trump officials denying her claims, a DOJ official who was outraged by her “misleading” report provided RealClearInvestigations with documents showing that well-connected D.C. insiders are routinely involved in the pardon process.

The article explains that the charge involves two people who were offering to obtain pardons for people for $300,000. But the people who paid them the money never got the pardons. That doesn’t sound like President Trump is the one with some legal questions to answer.

I wonder if the people who paid for the pardons will get their money back since they didn’t get the pardons.

When The Press Lies To Sway An Election

Posted on by

The mid-term elections are almost here. Soon all of the television ads for the candidates will be gone. Soon the accusations will stop flying. I can’t wait.

Meanwhile, how accurate is the mainstream media’s reporting of the Trump economic record? According to the actual numbers–not very accurate!

On Monday, Issues & Insights posted an article about the Trump economy and the media’s reporting on it.

The article reminds us:

Republican incumbent President George H.W. Bush lost the 1992 election to the Arkansas governor who ran on the slogan “It’s the Economy, Stupid.” Americans voted for change after being told over and over by the legacy media that the economy was dragging. But it wasn’t. It had recovered from a downturn, yet the media continued to shop the lie, carrying Bill Clinton to the presidency.

We’re now in 2026, less than two months from the midterm elections, and the legacy media, which is nothing more than the Democratic Party’s propaganda arm, is doing the same to President Donald Trump in an effort to lift the Democrats to a congressional majority.

Clinton’s campaign was centered on his claim that the economy leading up to the 1992 election was the worst “in 50 years.” It was true that Bush’s term had a rough patch that began in July 1990. But “the recession ended in March 1991,” according to the National Bureau of Economic Research, and “an expansion began at that time.”

Read that again. March 1991. Not March 1992. Nor March 1993.

The article notes:

While Trump’s handling of the economy is at just 35%, according to RealClearPolitics polling average, the data tell a story that the Democrats don’t want told. Instead, they want to screech about an economy they claim isn’t working for everyone, and yammer on about affordability hardships their policies have caused. Naturally, the media are happy to amplify the message. After all, electing Democrats is, as they see it, their job.

So they ignore:

We  have seen this play before. The question is whether or not voters will fall for this trick a second time.

The Children Are Behaving Badly And Hoping We Have Short Memories

Posted on by

CNBC is reporting today:

  • The White House television press pool that covers events by President Donald Trump on a rotating basis will stop covering those events because of the White House’s ban of CNN from acting as a member of that pool, CNN reported.
  • CNN was barred from covering Trump as the designated TV pooler when the president is visiting New York for the United Nations General Assembly.
  • In addition to CNN, the other members of the White House TV pool are NBC, ABC, CBS and Fox.

They are simply outraged. But let’s look at a little bit of history.

On Sunday, The American Spectator posted an article about banning CNN.

The article points out:

It is, however, unreasonable to ask former President Barack Obama to keep his mouth shut on this issue. On Saturday, he appeared on C-SPAN to offer his typically hypocritical take on Trump’s “press ban,” as the network disingenuously described it: “I’m trying to think what would have happened if I had said, you know what, Fox News, you’re out of here! It’s unimaginable!” Actually, it’s not necessary to imagine what would have happened—Zip. As Piers Morgan points out, “Obama did ban Fox, and waged almost constant war against press freedom.” Joe Concha elaborates, “Team Obama rejected more FOIA requests than anyone in history, spied on James Rosen, secretly seized AP phone records and booted several  news outlets off of his plane.”

But former President Autopen holds the record for the most extensive White House press purge. As Fox News reported in August of 2023, “At least 442 reporters have lost their credentials since the White House press office changed its rules for journalists to be eligible for permanent passes, according to reports.” The new eligibility requirements were clearly meant to target independent journalists. In order to qualify for a White House pass, reporters had to prove “Full-time employment with an organization whose principal business is  news dissemination.” This travesty produced no condemnation from the White House Correspondents Association (WHCA). Trump’s action, however, was vociferously denounced by WHCA President Jacqui Heinrich:

The article at The American Spectator concludes:

As for the claim that the Trump administration has violated the First Amendment, perhaps these “journalists” should take the time to read it. It doesn’t give CNN, MS NOW or Politico any claim to a seat in the White House briefing room.

According to AI, 56 percent of Americans watch the mainstream media. That’s probably still too many, but the distrust of the media is at an all-time high because of their false reporting. The two most honest sources of news right now are Newsmax and One America News. Unfortunately, Fox News has gone over to the dark side.

Making The World A Safer Place

Posted on by

Anyone paying attention has noticed that China has been increasing its reach in the South China Sea by building artificial islands, declaring them Chinese territory, and claiming the ocean around them. China has made no secret of the fact that it plans to be the single super-power in the world in the near future. President Trump recently negotiated a deal that will make that slightly more difficult.

On Saturday, Breitbart posted an article about a deal between Denmark and America about Greenland.

The article reports:

Denmark’s government was cautiously optimistic on Saturday about Donald Trump’s announcement of a deal on Greenland to bolster U.S. military presence there but keep the island under Danish control, following months of threats by the U.S. president to seize the semiautonomous territory of a NATO ally.

I suspect that those threats were part of the negotiating process, but I can’t say that for sure.

The article notes:

After Trump’s announcement Friday, the office of Denmark’s prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, said the deal will be signed by all three governments next week during the United Nations General Assembly, but parliamentary action is still needed by the Danish and Greenland governments before it can be enforced.

“Next week could be a good week … for Greenland, Denmark, and the United States alike,” Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen wrote on Instagram Saturday morning.

“A period of uncertainty will hopefully be replaced by a binding agreement that strengthens security in the Arctic and the North Atlantic – and thus also our shared security within NATO and Europe – while respecting the Kingdom´s red lines,” he added.

Greenland’s government leader Jens-Frederik Nielsen said he was happy about the deal which he said “benefits not only our collective security, but also the continued development here in the country.”

The article concludes:

After his return to the White House, Trump had called on Denmark to sell the island to the U.S., while insisting Greenland is crucial for U.S. security. He pointedly wouldn’t rule out taking the island by military force, even though Denmark is a NATO ally of the U.S.

Denmark and Greenland repeatedly said the island is not for sale and condemned reports of the U.S. gathering intelligence there. The U.S. push for Greenland was also fiercely opposed by Russia and much of Europe.

Greenland grassroots pro-sovereignty activist Orla Joelsen wrote on X that “our fight against Trump´s ambition to take over Greenland has been won.”

“The new agreement explicitly recognizes the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark and the Greenlandic people´s right to self-determination,” the activist added.

The shipping lanes around Greenland are going to become even more strategic in the future as the counties around the North Pole develop better methods of navigating through the ice. This agreement is a step forward for the free world.

Is It A Bribe?

Posted on by

On Sunday, The America Thinker posted an article about President Trump’s idea to pay each American $5,000 if the Republicans hold Congress in the mid-terms. The Democrats of course immediately went apoplectic over the idea. My first reaction, regardless of debt, deficits, etc., is who’s money is it anyway?

The article reports:

The mainstream media, and other assorted far-left hucksters, consider President Trump’s promise to send a $5,000 check to every adult in the nation if the Republicans win the midterm elections in November an outrageous attempt at bribing the American people.

However, that is not the case. Even the far-left New York Times admits that. There is no quid pro quo, he is not telling any individual that they need to do anything in specific in order to get the money. Indeed, those who didn’t vote at all — or who voted for “Democratic” candidates, even Democratic-Socialists of America candidates — would ostensibly still receive the payment, as far as is currently known.

What these self-same leftists never point out, however, is that everything Democrats — and especially the Democratic Socialists of America Democrats — promise and do is essentially a bribe. Bigger government itself is a bribe. “Elect us and we will provide government-subsidized grocery stores, free buses, free Medicare, free higher education, free health care, and free everything else to boot. Hell, we’ll even throw in “free Palestine!”

The article concludes:

At this time no one knows what any eligibility criteria might look like. But if, for example, the homeless on the mean streets of cities like L.A. and Portland can be bribed to vote for “progressive” candidates for a chance to “earn” 2 or 3 bucks, as has been documented, might not the thought of five grand be a motivating factor?

Sure, Trump can be a bit of a blowhard … but Democrats are hypocrites, liars, and frauds. And they pose a far greater danger to the country than Trump ever could.

When taxes go down, as they have under President Trump, revenue goes up. The problem in the past has been that when revenue goes up, Congress spends more. They are going to spend more anyway–let’s spend some on the people who paid the taxes in the first place!

I Don’t Care Who’s Name Is On The Building–Just Fix It!

Posted on by

On Sunday, Townhall posted an article citing an incident where President Trump has been proven right again.

The article reports:

President Donald Trump was once again proven right on the crumbling Kennedy Center after it was found that a portion of the ceiling collapsed due to serious neglect.

…The Trump administration’s efforts to renovate and revamp the Kennedy Center have been stifled by activist judges and Democrat-backed lawsuits. Earlier this year, courts blocked an effort to attach Trump’s name to the building as a means of generating further revenue for the proposed renovation. Now, the Trump administration is battling in court to determine whether or not they are able to develop a new plaza for the venue.

The Kennedy Center’s board is proposing a $250 million renovation that would likewise add Trump’s name to the facade to secure the financial future of the iconic capital landmark in the latest effort to beautify Washington, D.C. during Trump’s second term.

Are the liberals so blinded by their hatred for President Trump that they don’t want to see an national treasure restored? Adding President Trump’s name to the building will not destroy it, and as mentioned, could help with raising the funds needed to do the work required. The ceiling fell down because repairs were needed. Judges and courts blocked those repairs. Now we have a bigger mess to clean up. Thank God there were no people in the building when this happened.

Trump Report Card:  Health

Posted on by

Author:  R. Alan Harrop, Ph.D.   

Obviously, our health is one of our prime considerations and concerns. It has been amazing to observe the wide range of topics that the Trump administration has addressed since Donald Trump has been back in office. No other president in my lifetime has addressed so many diverse topics. Health is a prime example.

First, his administration initiated the DOGE project with the assistance of Elon Musk, which among many things revealed the waste and abuse in government sponsored health programs including Medicaid. Many of these abuses have been occurring for decades without ever being addressed by a President As we have seen in Michigan, California, Illinois, and many other states, the government bureaucrats who are supposed to oversee these programs were not doing their jobs. In some cases, such as with Governor Walz of Minnesota, it is apparent that the people in charge knew of these abuses but failed to address them. The abuses were particularly rampant among the Muslim communities where millions of hardworking taxpayer’s dollars went to schemers who did not provide the services for which they billed the government. Where was the Biden administration during all this fraud? At the very least, asleep at the wheel, and just as likely maintaining and supporting a system that helped keep them in power. This is typical of big government Marxist regimes which rely on taking from the so-called rich and giving to their constituents. It also reflects the belief of many on the Left that people have a right to things they have not earned because they have been taken advantage of by the white privileged class.

Second, President Trump has taken action to reduce the prices on many prescription drugs that Americans rely on to maintain their health. For many years, Americans have been paying drug prices that are far beyond what those same drugs cost in other countries, even though the drugs were created, tested and produced in this country. Instead of ignoring the problem, he has pursued a “Most Favored Nation” drug pricing strategy to ensure that prices in this country are aligned with the lowest prices paid in other developed countries. He also established a TrumpRx platform which provides a mechanism for consumers to purchase high-cost name brand drugs and generic medications at discounted, international parity prices. These steps have resulted in the steepest decline in prescription drug prices since 1963.

Third, in terms of freedom to choose, he is the only President to implement a “right to try” policy that allows the patient to try drugs, especially for terminal illnesses, that may not have completed or passed the stringent requirements for drug approvals. Recently, the Trump administration has given parents greater freedom in deciding which vaccines are administered to their children. This action reduced the number of federally recommended routine vaccines for children from 18 to 11 and separated some previously combined vaccines. This gives parents more freedom to consult with their doctors in deciding what is best for their children. Contrast these actions with the mandated requirements imposed by the Biden administration–not only mandatory unproven vaccines, but requirements to wear face masks, stay 6 feet apart, etc., none of which were YOUR choice. Marxist big government thinking at its worst.

Fourth, a recent action by the Trump administration that potentially impacts your health and wellbeing is their crackdown on non-English speaking, non-citizen truck drivers. There have been multiple injuries and deaths caused by semi-truck drivers who cannot speak or read English and do not understand road signs or verbal directions given by policemen. The Trump administration has closed 110 truck driver schools that have allowed non-English speaking commercial truck drivers to be licensed.

This does not represent all that the Trump administration has done to fulfill President Trump’s campaign pledges to the American people, but it clearly shows his commitment to do so. Why would anyone in their right mind want to reverse these actions by voting for anyone who opposes the president and his policies? Very good question. If you support President Trump’s actions, make sure you get out and vote for people who will support his policies!

This May Turn Out To Be A Very Mixed Blessing

Posted on by

On Tuesday, Just The News posted an article about the significant drop in what Americans are paying for prescription drugs.

The article reports:

President Donald Trump’s Most Favored Nation policies and TrumpRx platform have produced the largest annual drop in U.S. prescription drug prices in over 60 years, the steepest since 1963, according to the administration. The update follows years of price increases across much of the sector which had Americans footing the bill for other nations’ usage.

“Without even twisting an arm, without trying to pass a new bill, he [Trump] brought all these players together with TrumpRX to lower the cost of prescription drugs, and he continues to do that because this guy understands leverage. He understands the bully pulpit,” Rep. Jimmy Patronis, R-Fla., told Just The News.

TrumpRx has already generated $700 million in patient savings. GLP-1 drugs that previously exceeded $1,000 monthly now start at $149; many other high-cost medications (insulin, inhalers, fertility drugs, cholesterol treatments) have fallen 50–90%. Prescription prices are down 3.9% since Trump took office and have declined every month of 2026.

Nonprescription drugs fell 2.4% and medical-care commodities 2.7% over the past year. 

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) also locked in more than $10 billion in pharmaceutical savings this fiscal year, with hundreds of billions projected long-term. The administration states this is the first time a president has actually lowered prescription drug prices.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

…Americans have long paid substantially higher prices for brand-name prescription drugs than patients in other developed countries—often three to four times as much, according to RAND analyses of 2022 data comparing the U.S. to 33 OECD nations. 

The high prices that Americans pay finance the extensive medical research that takes place in America. The government being involved in any aspect of medicine should be troublesome for Americans. The free market works best. The cost of medical coverage was lower and the choices of medical insurance coverage was better before the government got involved. I am not opposed to Americans paying less for prescription drugs, but I want to make sure that we still leave room to pay for the research to develop new and better drugs.

Every President serves with the risk of assassination. President Trump, however, seems to have weathered a few more attempts that usual. The Secret Service is doing their job, and recently in Turkey the Secret Service did something out of a James Bond movie.

On August 11, The New York Post reported:

New details are emerging about President Trump’s great escape from Ankara last month with the revelation that he was smuggled off Air Force One by a Turkish airport catering truck to board a different military jet.

Trump’s exit from the annual NATO conference — within reach of Iranian missiles — already stoked weeks of intrigue over his purported use of an older version of Air Force One instead of the luxurious Qatar-gifted aircraft on which he arrived.

Trump actually used a third plane in an elaborate ruse that fooled not only Iran, but also the traveling press pool and some members of the president’s own staff.

…It’s unclear which other officials joined Trump in the truck, though he’s typically accompanied by a doctor and staffers designated to maintain contact with the military and White House chief of staff’s office.

The fresh reporting raised new questions, including whether there was a specific threat to Trump’s life, rather than a vague concern involving the Iran conflict.

The White House has not denied the Washington Post’s account, which cited two sources, including at least one US official.

The article concludes:

Hours before his stealth relocation to the third plane, Trump spoke about Iranian leaders wanting to kill him. That week, funeral processions for the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei featured banners threatening to kill the US president.

When a New York Post reporter asked Trump at a news conference in Ankara whether he was ditching the new plane due to threats from Iran, the president responded that “I’m number one on the kill list” for the Islamic Republic, but declined to elaborate further.

When another journalist pressed Trump on his publicly stated plane swap, the president insisted he sent the Qatari jet out of Turkey “so the soldiers can see it, because it’s truly magnificent.”

The deception — and its revelation — are incredibly rare if not unprecedented.

Then-President Bill Clinton similarly used Air Force One as a decoy in 2000 during a high-risk trip to Pakistan, but at least some reporters were aware ahead of time and the ploy was revealed publicly upon arrival.

Notice he left the reporters on the original plane. Hmmm.

The Risk Of Ignoring The Voters

Posted on by

The mid-term elections are rapidly approaching. The Democrat party is moving left; the Republican party isn’t currently moving anything. I understand that lobbyists and corporations have a lot of money to throw into campaign coffers, but they don’t necessarily match the power or the will of the voters.

President Trump was elected by a significant margin because of his agenda. Even if you dislike the person he seems to be, you can’t argue that he loves America and wants America to prosper. You also have to admit that as a businessman—not a politician—he is not part of the Washington elite. That is one of many reasons the Washington elite sees him as a threat and does not want him to succeed.

The voters who elected President Trump want his policies passed by Congress. About 80 percent of Americans support the SAVE Act. Why can’t the supposed Republican majority in the Senate get it passed?

The Republicans hold a 53 to 45-seat majority in the Senate. If they can’t pass something that 80 percent of Americans approve of, what good are they? Why should I vote for a Republican if they don’t act like Republicans once they get into office?

According to Google, the majority of voters in Maine support the SAVE Act. Representative Susan Collins has voted against it. She may win her election because the Democrat party in Maine seems to have a problem finding a reasonable candidate to oppose her, but who is she representing?

Money from big donors may fill campaign coffers, but if the voters do their own research on the candidates and then get out and vote, they can overcome that money and elect Congressmen who actually represent them. Voters need to turn out for the primary elections that determine who the candidates will be.

Two of the reasons for voter apathy are that voters don’t believe that their votes matter (their representatives don’t listen to them), and that voters don’t believe our elections are secure. The SAVE Act addresses the concern of election integrity. The SAVE Act will make our elections more secure. By not voting for it, Congressmen are saying that they want the ability to cheat.

Is Pickaxe Mountain Next?

Posted on by

An article posted at Breitbart on Tuesday reports that Israeli intelligence believes that Iran moved its nuclear centrifuges into the underground Pickaxe Mountain facility near Natanz last fall. President Trump is still determined to end Iran’s nuclear program.

The article reports:

President Donald Trump declared Tuesday that the United States is “not finished at all” with Iran, warning U.S. forces would strike the regime’s heavily fortified Pickaxe Mountain nuclear site “pretty soon” while signaling his administration was prepared to expand military operations rather than return to negotiations.

Trump made the remarks while meeting Lebanese President Joseph Aoun at the White House after being asked about a Wall Street Journal report that Israeli intelligence believes Iran moved thousands of advanced centrifuges into the underground Pickaxe Mountain facility near Natanz last fall.

“I think that they may have,” Trump said when asked about the reported transfer, while stressing that the centrifuges alone would not allow Iran to revive its nuclear program.

“It doesn’t mean anything unless they have the material. They don’t have it. We follow the material. That’s where the action is.”

“We’ll be hitting that area probably pretty soon. There’s not a thing they can do about it,” he said. “Normally, I wouldn’t say that. If I thought they could do something about it, I would never say that. But we’ll be hitting that area pretty soon, and very heavily.”

It is quite possible that what is left of the rulers of Iran believe that the existence of nuclear capabilities (or at least the illusion of that existence) may be the only thing keeping them in power and keeping their country from being destroyed.

The article notes:

Trump’s remarks came as U.S. forces continued striking Iranian military infrastructure, with U.S. Central Command announcing additional operations targeting missile and drone capabilities, military command centers, maritime assets, air defense systems, and other facilities tied to Tehran’s efforts to disrupt commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Trump has repeatedly argued the campaign is intended to prevent Iran from rebuilding its nuclear program while maintaining military pressure on the regime.

Asked about Iran’s remaining capabilities, Trump maintained the administration would continue applying military pressure while monitoring Tehran’s nuclear assets.

“We’re degrading them at levels that nobody thought was possible,” he said, adding that U.S. officials continue to track Iran’s nuclear material rather than focusing solely on centrifuges or infrastructure.

We need to end this quickly, and the current regime of Iran needs to leave the country!

Is It Treason?

Posted on by

Is it treason to hold back national security information in the President’s daily briefing? I don’t know, but I would love to see a court of law sort that out.

On Friday, Just The News reported:

President Donald Trump on Thursday released a trove of declassified intelligence documents that his administration says expose long-suspected vulnerabilities in U.S. election infrastructure, in addition to alarming intelligence pointing to prior administrations’ and officials’ knowledge of such issues that were kept from the president, Congress and the American people. 

“The intelligence community withheld information from his president’s daily brief. That’s a big deal. That’s where the intelligence community gives him the absolute most classified data, what he needs to know for that day, and frankly, during his first term, they withheld it. That is a black mark on the intelligence community,” Rep. Keith Self, R-Tex., told Just The News.

Self continued, “They should be charged because they hold positions of great responsibility, and they have violated our trust. They have violated the actual agreements that they sign when they get that level of classified data, so this is very, very easily charged and indicted.”

The materials, posted on the White House website following a prime-time address, include assessments indicating that intelligence officials were aware of risks such as outdated software and potential compromises by adversaries like China — which the documents claim acquired data on millions of American voters — but did not fully disclose them to the president, Congress or the public. 

What would be the consequences in the private sector of not sharing vital information you were tasked with gathering with the head of the company?

The article concludes:

“We all can agree that bureaucrats who manipulate or conceal intelligence from the people’s elected leaders to push their preferred policies or end states cannot keep their jobs in the American people’s Intelligence Community,” he wrote on X. “Those involved, and any who knew and remained silent, must be immediately removed from their positions of trust. 

Mike Davis, founder and president of the Article III Project and a former Senate lawyer, told Just The News he believes prosecutions are warranted. 

Intelligence analysts “obstructed and they conspired to provide doctored evidence to the President of the United States about a foreign invasion of our elections, and they must be held accountable. They must be arrested. They must be charged. They must be held accountable,” he said.

There should be firings and jail time!

Some Thoughts On President Trump’s Speech On Thursday Night

Posted on by

The problems with voter registration fraud and election fraud are not news to many Americans. Some of us have long since stopped depending on the mainstream media for our news.

On July 16, The Gateway Pundit reported:

Tonight, in his address to the nation, President Trump presented and “fully confirmed” the “authenticity” of documents that have been declassified. One of the five areas of major concern he covered was a massive voter registration scheme by GBI Strategies, a story I broke in August 2023.

…The Gateway Pundit broke this story in August 2023!!!

A true grassroots story: In June 2023, conservative activist Phil O’Halloran told me he was in possession of Michigan State Police and Muskegon Police reports that would expose the shocking operations of a statewide fake-registration ring that was discovered in Muskegon, Michigan, only one month before the November 2020 election. Muskegon citizen Keith Hinkle FOIA’d the report after Muskegon County GOP Eections Committee Chair Chris Kaijala obtained the report number during an interview with the Michigan State Police Detective involved in the investigation. The MSP Detective gave Kaijala the report ID number so Mr. Hinkle could FOIA it. It was truly a team effort by grassroots patriots seeking the truth, like so many in Michigan, about the 2020 election.

The article concludes:

The affiant believed the records found at the location were crucial to determining the crime of Election Fraud Forgery and determining who may be criminally liable and who may have profited from the fraud.

The affiant later obtained a copy of the Muskegon PD Report 2020-19124, authored by Officer Foster, with a supplemental report by Detective Logan Anderson, along with a copy of the search warrant for the business location.

Not one person was prosecuted in this case! The FBI took it over from the MI State Police, where the story went to die!

And that is the problem. Until people are held accountable, the fraud will continue. And until Americans learn to look past the mainstream media for their news, the wrongdoing will continue, generally without the public’s knowledge.

Will The Facts Matter?

Posted on by

Last night President Trump gave a speech about the problem of election fraud in America. Many of us who follow the non-mainstream media were familiar with most of the examples he cited about election fraud.

This is the chart of which networks carried the speech:

Somehow I don’t trust CBS’s fact-checking.

On Thursday, Just the News posted an article about the dangers of China hacking into our voter data base.

The article notes:

President Donald Trump announced in a speech on Thursday that China has compromised more than 200 million voter registration entries affecting 18 states, citing newly declassified U.S. Intelligence Community records compiled by the Government Transparency Task Force created in May. 

The findings triggered a review by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) of voter registration systems. In that review, the agencies outlined exactly how this exposed data could be exploited. 

The report warned that foreign countries, specifically China and Russia, have consistently targeted these state voter registration databases over the last decade.

“The impact of the breaches is not limited to ‘undermining confidence’ or ‘spreading false claims’ but the data itself could be used months or years after the breach to alter voter registration information,” the agencies wrote. “​​The real threat is what can be done with the stolen data.”

On Thursday, Townhall also posted an article detailing some of the information in the newly declassified documents. I strongly suggest following the link to read the documents.

The most disturbing thing to me is that the information about the data breach and possible fraudulent activities by China was left out of the daily Presidential briefing by people who decided their decisions on national security issues were more important than those of a duly-elected President.

People who dislike the President will ignore this information. The only way that exposing this fraud will be useful is if the people responsible for the fraud and the people responsible for keeping the information from the President go to jail.

Someone Needs To Do This

Posted on by

On Monday, The Hill posted an article reporting that President Trump announced that America will be taking steps to insure the security of ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz.

The article reports:

President Trump said Monday that the U.S.’s naval blockade on the Strait of Hormuz will be reinstated as Washington and Tehran fight for control of the crucial waterway after strikes were exchanged over the weekend.

“The Hormuz Strait is OPEN, and will remain OPEN, with or without Iran,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “We are reinstating the THE IRANIAN BLOCKADE, so named because it is only stopping Iran’s ships or customers from entering or leaving.”

“All other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait,” he said, adding that the U.S. will be known as “the Guardian of the Hormuz Strait.”

Trump said the U.S. will be “reimbursed” 20 percent on all cargo shipped “as a matter of FAIRNESS” for the security needed.

“The U.S.A. will be, from this point forward, known as ‘THE GUARDIAN OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT,’ but as such, and as a matter of FAIRNESS, will be reimbursed, at the rate of 20% on all cargo shipped, for any and all costs necessary to do the job of providing safety and security to this very volatile section of the World,” he wrote. “The process and formation will begin immediately.”

If our military is guarding the Strait and making the use of it available to other countries, we need to be compensated. Hopefully we will see regime change in Iran at some point and will no longer need American forces to protect the Strait.

The article notes:

Iran, for its part, has pushed back, saying the strait is theirs and they “will not allow a rogue and child-killing army from the other side of the world to continue its illegal interference in it,” according to The Associated Press.

According to factually.co:

Under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), waterways used for international navigation where no reasonable alternative exists are classified as “international straits” and are subject to transit passage, which prioritizes uninterrupted navigation and limits coastal-state control [3][5]. Many legal scholars and Western governments treat Hormuz as such an international strait and therefore argue transit passage applies as a matter of customary international law and UNCLOS interpretation [7][8]. Iran, however, asserts broader rights within its territorial sea and has claimed the ability to suspend passage or regulate traffic, invoking older legal doctrines and the fact that it has not ratified UNCLOS—an argument that complicates treaty-based enforcement.

It is obviously in the interests of most of the world to keep the Strait of Hormuz open. America is probably the only country in the world that has the military muscle to do that.

UPDATE: Further negotiations have resulted in the 20% toll being by significant investment in America by Middle Eastern countries.

It’s Time To Stop Being Patient

Posted on by

On Tuesday, Yahoo News posted a Reuters post about recent attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. I don’t think Iran is behaving very well, and I think it’s time for Iran to be held accountable for its bad behavior.

The article reports:

Three tankers were hit in the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday, including an LNG carrier at risk of explosion, as huge crowds mourned Iran’s slain Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in the holy city of Qom.

Qatar blamed Iran for the attack on a huge Qatari liquefied natural gas tanker, the Al Rekayyat, which reported being struck overnight by a drone that caused a ‌fire in its engine room.

The crew were safe and being evacuated, but maritime security sources told Reuters the fire could put the ship at risk of explosion.

A Saudi-flagged crude oil tanker, believed to be the ‌supertanker Wedyan, was also damaged off Oman, maritime security sources said. The cause was not immediately clear.

The article concludes:

In a CNN interview, Netanyahu said it was too early ‌to say how negotiations with Tehran will play out, but hinted at a continuing divergence ​with the White House over whether diplomacy can ultimately neutralize Iran’s ​nuclear program.

“The President believes that he can stop Iran’s nuclear program,” Netanyahu told CNN, adding that he has his doubts.

Nevertheless, Trump should be “given the chance” to achieve that goal, Netanyahu added, insisting the two governments were aligned on Iran strategy. “On the big things we see eye to eye, and occasionally we don’t, but we’re true allies,” he said.

Oil prices, which have returned to around the prewar level since last month’s interim deal, rose ​more than 2% on Tuesday following the incidents in the waterway.

In launching the war ‌four months ago, Trump said his aims were to destroy Iran’s nuclear and missile programmes, end its ability to threaten its neighbours and create conditions for Iranians to topple their leaders.

None of those goals ​has been met, although Washington says a permanent deal will halt what it says is an Iranian programme that could make a nuclear bomb, which Iran says it never sought.

At some point you have to stop negotiating with the neighborhood bully and simply punch him in the face!

UPDATE: I think President Trump has run out of patience.

Much Ado About Nothing

Posted on by

I think the fuss about the reflecting pool is totally overblown, but that won’t stop me from weighing in!

On Thursday, an article at Front Page Magazine reminded us:

Let’s flash back to the normal way that the media covered this same situation when it happened during the Obama administration.

The National Park Service has once again drained the reflecting pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington to clean up an algae buildup that formed after a $34 million overhaul.

Park service spokesman Carol Johnson says the pool was drained and was being cleaned Thursday. It will remain empty for at least a week.

Algae and scum have been covering parts of the pool since it reopened. It had been closed for a two-year renovation and was reengineered to draw river water from the Tidal Basin instead of city drinking water. The system is supposed to filter and circulate the water to keep it cleaner than in the past.

None of the 2012 stories even mentioned the Obama administration, let alone blamed Obama personally for algae in the pool and no Republican senators popped up to demand Obama personally reimburse the country for the $34 million renovation.

Let’s fast forward to today to some information that has recently come out.

On June 26th, Just the News reported:

Details of the alleged vandalism to the recently refurbished Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C. were revealed in a court filing. 

According to Deputy Director for the National Park Service Frank Lands, the incident took place shortly after the resurfaced pool was filled again with water on June 9, ABC News reported. 

“The U.S. Park Police responded to an NPS report of damage to the reflecting pool, including a caulk over the foam sealant that was cut with a sharp knife or razor and destruction of delaminating surface material. In addition, approximately 70 fence post tops were thrown into the pool,” Lands said in a declaration. 

I don’t claim to be an expert, but that sounds like vandalism to me.

The point here is not the reflecting pool–it’s the way the media reports things. There are probably about four investigative reporters I trust–John Solomon (Just the News) is one of them. If you are depending on the mainstream media for you news, you are being lied to and misinformed every day. It’s time to do your own research.

A Few Observations On Iran

Posted on by

On June 18th, Victor Davis Hanson posted an article about the war in Iran at American Greatness. The purpose of the article is to clear up some of the current misconceptions about the war and the agreement to end the war.

The article begins with addressing the mistaken idea that the Strait of Hormuz was open before the war and is now closed, so the war was a failure.

The article notes:

The Strait was open because an appeased Iran had no reason to close it—given that no nation on earth dared to end its nuclear dreams of dominating the Middle East, funding anti-Western terrorists, and threatening Europe and the U.S.

So the rub was always disarming Iran and then dealing with its inevitable desperate strategy of closing the Strait.

The second misconception is that Trump’s agreement will simply be a copy of Obama’s earlier Iran deal.

The article notes:

Obama dealt from a position of abject weakness. Iran assumed correctly that Obama would offer endless concessions and cash, while never considering force.

Does Obama really believe that Iran in 2015 was stronger than it is now after 40 days of intense American, Israeli, and Gulf state bombing?

Trump is dealing with a bankrupt Iran, a neutered military, a restive Iranian street, a wounded regime, and the specter that the U.S. can do whatever it wishes militarily to a shattered Iran for the foreseeable future.

The next misconception is that the U.S. is bereft of allies and strategically isolated in the war.

The article notes:

During the war, the unthinkable occurred when Israel de facto became an ally of the Arab Gulf monarchies. Other than a few rogue nations and Arab terrorist clients—the weakened Hezbollah, the crushed Hamas, and the wary Houthis—Iran has zero friends.

Neither China nor Russia offered Iran much in the way of aid, other than satellite imagery and some smuggled supplies. Both lost their once-prominent positions among clients in the Middle East who deeply resented their siding with Persian Shiite theocrats over Arab oil suppliers and arms buyers.

Israel has more combat aircraft than the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. The Gulf monarchies do so as well. Both Israel and the Gulf states have been flying bombing missions against Iran. There is a far greater chance of Arab-Israeli rapprochement after the war than before it.

Please follow the link to read the entire article. It explains exactly where we are right now.

Ignoring The People They Are Supposed To Represent

Posted on by

President Trump was elected by a large margin. There are numerous people in America who suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome, but even they have to admit that their pocketbooks have done better under President Trump than President Biden and that America is now the number one economy in the world. The President has worked hard at relieving some of the tax burden on working Americans and at removing regulations that strangle the American economy. He has done this mainly through Executive Orders–Congress has not really been very helpful.

On Friday, Just the News reported:

President Donald Trump has issued 266 executive orders in his second term but only 70 have been codified into law, according to Mark Meadows, a White House chief of staff in the first Trump administration and a former North Carolina GOP congressman.

“That’s a start, but Congress needs to double the effort!!!” Meadows wrote in a post on X this week, noting that 196 of Trump’s Executive Orders were not yet codified into law. 

Unless Executive Orders are codified into law, they can be undone by the next President.

The article notes:

The most recent executive orders by Trump include strengthening customs enforcement, eliminating bureaucratic processes when removing senior federal workers for misconduct or poor performance, both issued on June 3, and an order promoting advanced artificial intelligence innovation and security, issued on June 2.

Tennessee GOP Rep. Tim Burchett reposted Meadow’s post in agreement with the former congressman’s argument.

“I have filed 20 bills dealing with @realDonaldTrump executive orders. Some were covered in the BBB,” he wrote in the repost, referring to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. “We need some guts.”

These are things that the majority of Americans support.

The article concludes:

There has also been considerable backlash to the executive order restricting the distribution of mail-in ballots by the U.S. Postal Service, with all 23 Democratic state attorneys general urging the court to block the order, and condemning it as unconstitutional voter suppression in a case now before the federal court in Boston.

Some of Trump’s executive orders that have become law include the GENIUS Act, aimed at protecting America’s financial system from illicit activity, and the White-House-led Task Force to Eliminate Fraud (Executive Order 14395), which legally modifies how federal benefits are administered under the False Claims Act.

Congress has become an elite club that ignores American voters. We need to vote the club members out of office!
