Which message is better?
The notion that the same radical Democrats who just shut down the federal government, sabotaged our economy, robbed people of their paychecks, and also helped Joe Biden ratchet up inflation to 9% suddenly are now affordability champions is completely absurd – and it's something only the liberal media would have the gall to claim.
Here are the facts:
President Trump and his Administration have done a lot to lower prices and increase the economic prosperity of the American people in less than 10 short months.
💰President Trump signed the largest middle-class tax cuts in history, including No Tax on Tips, No Tax on Overtime, and No Tax on Social Security to guarantee that Americans keep more of their hard-earned money.
⛽️The President unleashed American energy dominance to help bring gasoline prices to the lowest in 5 years and also lower energy costs overall (this is key because we know energy costs are the number one driver of inflation).
💊To lower prescription drug prices and overall healthcare costs, President Trump already negotiated most-favored-nation-pricing agreements with 5 Big Pharma companies.
✂️📄To fuel small businesses, lower their costs, and incentivize hiring, the Trump Administration has already cut 30 unnecessary regulations for every new one on the books.
✅And all of these pro-growth Trump policies are working.
💰Wages are rising at the fastest pace of the start of a presidential administration in 60 years.
🏠The cost of the typical new mortgage is down by nearly $3,000 dollars a year.
There’s much more work to do but President Trump has made great progress in cleaning up the economic disaster created by Joe Biden and the Democrats!
BREAKING: Senators have reached a deal to end the government shutdown.
The agreement was negotiated by Sens. Angus King, Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan, as well as several GOP senators, and there are enough Democratic caucus members in favor of the deal, sources tell Fox News.
'GUNS-A-BLAZING': President Trump warns Nigeria the U.S. may enter "guns-a-blazing" if they continue "to allow the killing of Christians" by Islamic terrorists.
"I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians," Trump said.
HAPPENING NOW: President Trump meets with China's President Xi Jinping on the final day of his trip to Asia, their first face-to-face meeting in six years.
SNAP costs taxpayers $145 billion a year.
Recipients spend TWICE what the average worker does on groceries.
That’s not “helping the poor.” It’s rewarding people who abuse the system.
👀 NYT Opinon: ‘Why Trump’s East Wing Demolition Needed to Happen’
“First, it is simply good to build a White House ballroom; the presidency has needed one for a long time, and it’s absurd that the leader of a superpower has to host state dinners inside temporary tents.”
https://t.co/fNHKiDNCz9
Trump’s move to rebuild part of the White House feels like a power statement. It’s him saying, “I’m not just running this place — I’m redesigning it to fit my legacy."
It shows ambition and ego intertwined — visionary to some, vain to others. Either way, it’s a bold play for permanence, turning politics into architecture.
I wonder why everyone on the left is so upset about President Trump‘s expansion of the White House that is being 100% funded by donations, but have zero interest in the $1.6 billion expansion of Gavin Newsom‘s California Capitol that is 100% taxpayer funded and 100% cloaked in NDA’s and cronyism.
It’s (D)ifferent
SBA has launched an investigation into ATI Government Solutions and Susanville Indian Rancheria.
This is why we have been conducting a full review of the 8(a) Program, ostensibly designed to help “socially and economically disadvantaged” small businesses compete in the federal marketplace. Yet, what we’ve discovered so far has been institutionalized abuse, which potentially amounts to billions of dollars in federal contracts that are run through shell companies, fraudulent pass-throughs, and other schemes.
That’s why in February, the SBA took immediate action to slash 8(a) contracting goals across the federal government. In June, we launched an audit of the program to review every 8(a) contract for the last 15 years. And in July, we rescinded the contracting authority of USAID, which was involved in a massive bribery scandal.
@JamesOKeefeIII has exposed an important truth. Like every other government program rooted in DEI, the 8(a) Program is rife with grift and fraud.
Under my leadership, the SBA is committed to restoring integrity and implementing strong reforms to protect U.S. taxpayers from further abuse. The full audit is ongoing and whistleblowers may contact https://t.co/sX9KWCe1DH
“How can empathy be toxic, Allie?”
Well, you see, this animal was arrested and released a dozen times in the name of social justice and racial equity. Social justice and racial equity policies are borne out of “empathy” for the “marginalized.”
Bad actors convince well-meaning, compassionate Christians that these empathetic “restorative justice” measures are the right way to love our neighbors.
In this way the criminal becomes the victim, and society becomes chaotic and disordered.
Be led by truth, order, love, goodness, and virtue, not empathy.
