Howard Lutnick:
“Somehow the United States became an IMPORTER of seafood. How crazy is that?— And in the end we are going to eat fish caught by us— what a shock!”
President Trump opened 500,000 square miles that Obama made sure only foreign nations can fish in… not anymore.
Thank you President Trump!

Part 2 on Lansing's Cadillac pensions, because it gets worse: Michigan members of Congress are double dipping. Sitting Sen. Gary Peters pockets $68,712 a year from his old state legislative pension and sitting Rep. Tim Walberg collects $102,084, stacked on top of their $174,000 federal salaries. Debbie Stabenow drew $107,145 this year after collecting for years while in the U.S. Senate. Yes, both parties. That's the point.
And the bailout has already started. Taxpayers quietly injected $8 million in 2019 and another $900,000 in 2024, plus $4 to $5 million EVERY year for these retirees' health benefits, while the pension fund itself sits at just 40.6% funded. The Michigan Constitution guarantees every dime of the $206 million liability, so the bill lands on Michigan families.
Lansing found taxpayer money over the last decade to shore up the pension funds for teachers, troopers, state workers, and judges. The one fund they never fixed? The politicians' own. Now working families get to cover guaranteed 4% annual raises that no teacher or trooper ever got.
This double dipping has to stop. We need leaders who retire like the rest of us, not insiders cashing two government checks while the fund they built goes broke on your dime.
Time to stop it. Let's make Michigan safe, normal, and responsible again! 🇺🇸

Reminder that the Biden admin set up a hotline for migrant children to report issues with sponsors.
65k calls went UNANSWERED
Only ONE person was assigned to answer calls
450k kids were placed with unvetted sponsors. Some were r*ped over 600 times.
DHS rescued 146k kids so far.
Nobody has gone to prison for this yet.
Michigan taxpayers were told that if we increased education spending by 31% and subsidized universal school meals—even in wealthy districts—we would see a return on our investment. Yet Michigan has declined to 42nd in the nation for education, and three-quarters of fourth graders are not reading at grade level. The lefties in Lansing didn’t understand the assignment.
El-Sayed’s campaign is doing damage control today, claiming that Abdul’s former employee, Mariam Muhammed Odeh—who was indicted yesterday in the University of Michigan threat case for felony conspiracy and destruction of property —was merely paid for two weeks “hourly.” Meanwhile, the court records say she worked his campaign full-time for four months, approximately.
