By extending Pell Grants to the Skilled Trades, the One Big, Beautiful Bill ensures every American has a path to a stable and fulfilling career.

[Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer @SecretaryLCD]

Young Americans like Sutton are helping power the new Blue Collar Boom by opting to go into skilled professions instead of pursuing a four-year degree.

Check out our conversation, where we talked about Sutton’s work at Shafer Redi-Mix ⬇️

The hardworking men and women I met in Michigan agreed loud and clear: It’s time to get the One Big, Beautiful Bill on @POTUS’ desk! 📺⬇️

[Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer @SecretaryLCD]

Yesterday, I got to meet Sutton who just landed a full-time job at Shafer Redi-Mix.

Sutton told me that the One Big, Beautiful Bill’s tax cuts will make young Americans like him “want to work more” ⬇️

DREAM TEAM 🇺🇸🔥

[Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer @SecretaryLCD]

When family-owned Shafer Redi-Mix opened its doors in 1982, the company only had one concrete ready-mix plant. Now, they’ve expanded to six plants throughout Michigan.

By extending @POTUS’ tax cuts, the One Big, Beautiful Bill will help companies like Shafer continue to succeed!

Victor Davis Hanson eloquently explains why Zelensky is an idiot

[David Sacks @DavidSacks]

WHY ZELENSKY CANNOT MAKE PEACE

Zelensky’s meltdown in the Oval Office began over his refusal to accept a negotiated settlement to the war. Even the Vice President’s use of the word “diplomacy” provoked a heated response.

So why can’t Zelensky make a peace deal?

1) He will lose power.

Zelensky cancelled elections in Ukraine and remains in power through martial law. Despite what USAID propaganda polls may claim, Zelensky is unpopular in Ukraine and would likely lose a fair election. That could leave him vulnerable to retaliation from political opponents he has imprisoned or seized assets from. In short, Zelensky needs the war to justify his continued rule.

2) The gravy train will end.

Ukraine was widely acknowledged as the most corrupt country in Europe before the war, and there is abundant evidence that Ukrainian elites have been hugely profiting from the billions in Western aid. If the war ends, so does the gravy train. A post-war audit of where the money went would also be disastrous for Zelensky’s supporters.

3) He fears the ultra-nationalists.

Most Ukrainians say they want the war to end, but the ultra-nationalist faction (a relative minority but well-armed and willing to use violence to achieve their ends) refuses to accept any territorial concessions to Russia. If Zelensky signs such a deal, he has reason to fear for his safety.

4) He’s psychologically committed.

Zelensky’s belief in ultimate victory over Russia has “hardened into a form that worries some of his advisors,” according to a report by TIME Magazine, which described Zelensky’s faith as “immovable, verging on the messianic.” According to one of Zelensky’s aides, “He is delusional. We’re out of options. We’re not winning. But try telling him that.” Zelensky may be in too deep to see the situation objectively.

5) History will judge him harshly.

Zelensky could have accepted a draft peace deal signed in the first month of the war, the Istanbul Accords, under which Ukraine would have kept all of its territory in exchange for neutrality. A deal now will likely be modeled on Istanbul but require Ukraine to recognize realities on the ground (ie loss of territory). Acknowledging that hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians have died only to get a worse deal may be too bitter a pill for Zelensky to swallow, now or ever.

In summary, Zelensky has powerful motivations to reject a deal, no matter how bad the battlefield realities get. His incentive is to continue a doomed war even if it leads to the complete destruction of Ukraine.

Instead of offering unconditional support, Zelensky’s supporters in the West should be urging him to seek a diplomatic off-ramp. Certainly they should stop catering to his unrealistic and maximalist demands.

As Solzhenitsyn said, the yes-man is your enemy, but a friend will argue with you.

🔥MIC DROP! President Trump THREATENS Maine Gov. Mills to her face for refusing to keep men out of women's sports:

"You better do it — because you're not going to get any federal funding at all if you don't."

Absolute bloodbath.

[Kat A 🌸 @SaiKate108]

Absolute fire from Christine Anderson as she takes a stand in the EU!

‘President Trump is showing us the way. And unless we want to go down in history as complete idiots we should follow his lead.

Green deal, USAID, WHO, take it all down and give us DOGE instead so we can fight these despicable globalitarian misanthropists.’

Brilliant 💥

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, & our nation was the most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.

What in the heck happened? Can you spell 'politicians?'
