No Sleep In DC, Treason At The Highest Level, Trump Dropped The Hammer – Ep. 3067

• The Fed has now raised its policy rates by 500 basis points in a little over a year, with the top of the range now at 5.25%, and with the Effective Federal Funds Rate at 5.08%. But “core” CPI, which excludes the volatile food and energy components, has gotten stuck at around 5.5% to 5.7% for the fifth month in a row. There wasn’t any progress at all with core CPI in five months. Inflation intensity is simply shifting from one category to another. As inflation temporarily subsides in one category, it resurges in another.

•  so the core CPI got stuck at 5.5% to 5.7%, and isn’t making any efforts to be heading toward 2% or whatever, and instead, everyone has gotten used to this inflation and accepts it, and deals with it, and builds it into economic decisions, which is nurturing this inflation right along.
•  .
• Over those decades from 2008 back to 1965, there were only a few relatively brief periods when the Fed’s interest rates were below the rate of inflation as measured by core CPI.
• But since late 2008, we’ve had the opposite. Policy was turned upside down. And it still hasn’t been turned right-side up. There is still a ways to go. And just looking at this chart, I get the distinct feeling that inflation is just being fueled further, rather than being doused, by the Fed’s current interest rates:

• During President Trump’s time in office you could track the progress of his border wall. Trump was able to build hundreds of miles of border wall despite pushback from then Speaker Paul Ryan, Majority leader Mitch McConnell, and every Democrat in office. Trump also had to regularly fend off the liberal legacy media who attacked his plan to secure the US southern border.
• DHS celebrated President Trump building 400 miles of border wall while in office.
• This article was published in October 2020.

• Today the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) celebrated the construction of nearly 400 miles of new border wall system, in high priority locations across the Southwest border under the Trump Administration.Since CBP began constructing border barriers nearly 30 years ago,

Cutting welfare to illegal aliens would pay for Trump’s wall

• a recent immigration study showing the $18 billion wall President Trump plans to build along the southern border will pay for itself by curbing the importation of not only crime and drugs, but poverty.
• “The wall could pay for itself even if it only modestly reduced illegal crossings and drug smuggling,” Steven A. Camarota, director of research at the Center for Immigration Studies, told The Post.
• Federal data shows that a wall would work. A two-story corrugated metal fence in El Paso, Texas, first erected under the Bush administration has already curtailed illegal border crossings there by more than 89 percent over the five-year period during which it was built.
• Absent a wall, the Homeland Security Department forecasts an additional 1.7 million illegal crossings at the US-Mexico border over the next decade.
• If a wall stopped just 200,000 of those future crossings, Camarota says, it would pay for itself in fiscal savings from welfare, public education, refundable tax credits and other benefits currently given to low-income, illegal immigrants from Mexico and Central America.
• If a wall stopped 50 percent of those expected crossings, he says, it would save American taxpayers a whopping $64 billion — almost four times the wall’s cost — to say nothing of the additional billions in federal savings from reduced federal drug interdiction and border-security enforcement.
• While the national media routinely report that illegal immigrants don’t go on welfare, Camarota says this is a pervasive myth. While in most cases they can’t legally qualify for welfare, food stamps, Medicaid or other public benefits, the reality is that the vast majority of households headed by illegal immigrants are on welfare through their children.
• “There is simply no question that households headed by illegal immigrants access a good deal of welfare. In fact, illegal immigrants’ use of some programs is quite high,” he said.

Since the Biden admin put into place Trump immigration policie where illegals need to seek asylum in another country first, which would be Mexico, won’t this put a lot of stress on the Mexican resources. If you have 100,000 -700,000 seeking asylum in Mexico I wonder if Mexico is going to say it will be cheaper to help build the wall and show these people you cannot just enter the US, which will stop the people seek asylum in Mexico.

• Soros-funded Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner announced earlier this week that she will step down in June. This was cause for celebration in St. Louis. Under Gardner crime has skyrocketed in the city as she refuses to indict murderers and lets criminals roam free on the streets.
• But she still has four more weeks to serve and on Wednesday Gardner released a woman who shot up the Cinco de Mayo festival in South St. Louis over the weekend.
• There were eleven shootings in the City of St. Louis over the weekend including the shooting at the Cinco de Mayo festival on Cherokee Street in South St. Louis on Saturday.
• Police were looking for the suspects in the shooting that left two innocent bystanders hurt. The South City Cinco de Mayo celebration on Cherokee Street brings together over 50,000 attendees each year. 
• Local KMOV reported:
  
• The female shooter was arrested on Tuesday by St. Louis Police. But on Wednesday The Circuit Attorney’s office refused to file charges against the woman who opened fire on the Cinco de Mayo crowd.

• During President Trump’s Town Hall in New Hampshire tonight, CNN debater moderator Kaitlin Collins stopped Trump when he asked why Biden can store boxes in Chinatown and insisted on fact checking him mid-statement.  Kaitlin Collins was wrong.

President Trump: “Let me ask you a question: why is it that Biden had 9 boxes in Chinatown?  And he gets a lot of money from China-”

Collins: “There is no evidence of that Mr. President…what you’re referring to is an office he had…Mr President, I need to stop you right there because there’s no evidence of what you just said there.  What you’re referring to is an office that he had after leaving the Vice Presidency…he had a temporary office.”

President Trump: “That’s at the University of Pennsylvania…you’re so wrong, you don’t know the subject.  He had one at the University of Pennsylvania but he also had 9 boxes at Chinatown…she doesn’t understand.”

• However, there is evidence.  Kathy Chung, Vice President Biden’s former executive assistant, was interviewed by the House Oversight Committee in early April 2023.  In that interview, she stated that Biden did in fact have classified documents, vice presidential records, and “other items” stored in three places:  “an office near the White House, an office in Chinatown, and eventually the Penn Biden Center.”
• From the House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer:

“Today we learned that when Joe Biden left the vice presidency, boxes containing classified documents, vice presidential records, and other items were stored in three different locations around the Washington D.C. area, including an office near the White House, an office in Chinatown, and eventually the Penn Biden Center.  At some point, the boxes containing classified materials were transported by personal vehicle to an office location.  The boxes were not in a ‘locked closet’ at the Penn Biden Center and remained accessible to Penn Biden employees as well as potentially others with access to the office space.  We need to find out who had access to these documents.”
