The green new scam is finished and now Bill Gates is backtracking letting everyone know that the world is not coming to an end, plus he is being investigated. Canada trapped in Trump’s tariff world. Trump is bringing in more manufactures which translate into jobs. The people are now seeing the tariffs are not hurting the economy. Gold is going to bounce back. The [DS] is in trouble, Biden/Obama autopen is exposed and it shows that Biden was not running the country. This is what happens when you rig an election and install a puppet administration. The [DS] went against the will of the people. Something big is coming in 2026, the OBBB comes into effect and everything is about to change. Deportation is going to surge, taxes are going to be lowered and everything is going to be setup for the next phase of the plan.

- As a result of President Trump asserting tariffs against imported autos, the large auto companies are abandoning plans to build or expand auto manufacturing in Canada. The Canadians are angry, and the professional political class in Canada is doing everything they can to continue ramping up opposition to Donald Trump.
- With increased tariffs against Canada, and with the likely dissolution of the USMCA (CUSMA) coming in the near future, the Canadian govt of Mark Carney has been traveling the world to find alternative markets for their goods and services. The main targets for new Canadian economic and trade relations are the U.K, EU and China.
- In a deal to expand the trade relationship with China, the Canadian government of Mark Carney is now proposing to drop tariffs against Chinese EVs in a deal to sell more pork and canola oil. That’s correct, in essence Canada will take the EV auto business abandoned by Mexico.
- This was Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s grand plan as he attended the ASEAN summit in Malaysia.
- Keep in mind, as we have outlined all along during Trump’s trade reset, the USMCA is going to be abandoned in favor of two bilateral free trade agreements; one with Mexico and one with Canada.
- As outlined in the Mexican decision to cancel EV investment, Mexico is aligning for a favorable trade relationship with President Trump and the USA.
- Canada may benefit in the short term from sales of pork and canola to Beijing, while simultaneously gaining Chinese investment in cobalt mining and auto development for EVs. But those EVs will never be permitted to cross the border into the USA and any effort to enhance Chinese EV sales in Canada will only disconnect them more from trade with Donald Trump and the USA.

- UPS has cut around 48,000 jobs in 2025 so far, including management, operations, and high-profile roles, through a mix of layoffs and buyouts. This exceeds initial expectations of 20,000–34,000 cuts.
- Reasons:
- Loss of Major Client: Reduced business from Amazon, which shifted more volume to its own delivery network.
- Cost-Cutting for Profitability: Focus on trimming less profitable segments amid falling package volumes post-pandemic.
Amazon Layoffs
- Scale: Amazon is cutting about 14,000–30,000 corporate jobs in 2025, with more expected in 2026—the largest since 2022.
- Reasons:
- AI and Automation Push: CEO Andy Jassy is reducing bureaucracy to fund heavy investments in generative AI and robotics, which could replace up to 600,000 roles by 2033. Layoffs target HR, devices, services, and operations to “make the company leaner.”
- Ongoing efforts to lower employee costs while scaling AI infrastructure.

The number one thing that artificially inflates the price of groceries is the food stamp program. The federal government is subsidizing groceries for 40 million people which obviously drives up the cost. That's why the increase in the cost of groceries tracks exactly with the…

increase in the number of people on food stamps. So as a functional, contributing, working American, you’re getting scammed twice. Once when the government steals from your paycheck and gives it to EBT recipients, and again when you go to the grocery store. You’re paying twice so that morbidly obese people can buy Doritos on your dime. Infuriating.
- A 2023 peer-reviewed paper in the Journal of Public Economics analyzed U.S. retail scanner data (2.6 million products from 20,000+ stores, 2006–2015) and found a 1% increase in per-capita SNAP benefits raises overall grocery prices by 0.08%. Effects are stronger (up to 0.12%) in high-participation counties (>20% of population) or concentrated markets (Herfindahl-Hirschman Index >2,500). Sales rise too, but only after adjusting for prices, confirming demand-driven effects.
The Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA), a conservative think tank, applied this elasticity to post-2021 data (Dec. 2019–Mar. 2023), estimating SNAP expansions accounted for 15%+ of the 23–24% rise in food-at-home prices (e.g., eggs +54%, margarine +59%). Per-capita SNAP spending nearly doubled (+90%), with 55% from permanent hikes. They project $250 billion in extra taxpayer costs through 2033, partly due to these inflationary feedbacks.
-
FGA’s model draws on USDA enrollment data, BLS Consumer Price Index (CPI), and the Leung-Seo elasticity.
- SNAP costs have risen 488% since 2000 (adjusted for inflation), peaking at $119 billion in 2022 amid pandemic expansions. Enrollment hit 43 million in 2023, correlating with food CPI spikes (e.g., +13% in 2022).

CBP Announces New Exit Photo Process for Noncitizens, Leftists Triggered
- The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced a new biometric exit policy that will require photographing all noncitizens leaving the country beginning December 26, 2025. The rule expands facial-recognition tracking beyond entry points to include departures, covering visa holders, permanent residents, temporary workers, and even children.
- The system is designed to strengthen national security and help identify visa overstays, but liberals, Democrats, and civil rights advocates are calling it racial profiling and a serious privacy concern.
- Set to take effect in December, CBP expects full implementation at every airport and seaport within three to five years. The new Customs and Border Protection (CBP) exit-photo policy will apply to all non-U.S. citizens, including legal permanent residents, visa holders, and foreign nationals entering or leaving the United States.

The public is going to be shocked in 2026 as the funding from the Big Beautiful Bill hit, and the logistics are in place for mass removal.
this is why it will drive deportations upward, particularly accelerating in 2026:Key Funding Provisions in the OBBBThe bill allocates over $170 billion in new spending specifically for immigration and border security—far exceeding prior budgets—creating an unprecedented “slush fund” for enforcement activities.
This includes:
- $45 billion for ICE detention expansion: Funds the construction and operation of new facilities to hold hundreds of thousands more people, addressing current capacity constraints that have limited removals.
- $30 billion for ICE enforcement and removal operations: Covers personnel hiring (e.g., thousands of new agents), transportation (charter flights and buses for deportations), and technology for tracking and apprehending individuals nationwide.
- Additional billions for Border Patrol and interior enforcement: Supports raids, surveillance, and expedited processing to prioritize “mass removal” of undocumented immigrants, including those with Temporary Protected Status (TPS).
These funds are largely unaccountable, bypassing traditional oversight to allow rapid deployment for Trump’s deportation goals.
- Pre-OBBB, ICE’s FY2024 budget was about $8.5 billion, supporting roughly 140,000 deportations annually. The OBBB’s infusion multiplies this capacity by over 20x in targeted areas, enabling “surge” arrests and removals—officials have already signaled plans to hit 1 million+ deportations per year by mid-2026.
- Much of the funding becomes fully available in FY2026 (starting October 2025), with time needed to build infrastructure and hire staff. Early implementation has yielded 260,000+ arrests and 200,000 deportations since January 2025, but experts predict a “shock” 5-10x increase once systems are in place.
The bill pairs enforcement dollars with cuts to benefits (e.g., health care, nutrition aid, tax credits for immigrants), incentivizing self-deportations while easing legal hurdles for removals.
-
This targets an estimated 11-20 million undocumented individuals, per administration estimates.

Four male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessel during the second strike. Three male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessel during the third strike. A total of 14 narco-terrorists were killed during the three strikes, with one survivor. All strikes were in international waters with no U.S. forces harmed. Regarding the survivor, USSOUTHCOM immediately initiated Search and Rescue (SAR) standard protocols; Mexican SAR authorities accepted the case and assumed responsibility for coordinating the rescue. The Department has spent over TWO DECADES defending other homelands. Now, we’re defending our own. These narco-terrorists have killed more Americans than Al-Qaeda, and they will be treated the same. We will track them, we will network them, and then, we will hunt and kill them.

Zelensky Declares Expansion Of Long-Range Attacks On Russian Oil Refineries
- Days after urging European allies in Britain that Ukraine urgently needs sufficient long-range weapons to change the course of the war, President Zelensky has declared Monday that he intends to expand strikes against Russian refineries.
- After a meeting with his staff Zelensky indicated, “We reviewed the effectiveness of our long-range strikes over a defined period and the results achieved. Russian oil refining is already paying a tangible price for the war—and will pay even more. We set tasks to expand the geography for the use of our long-range capabilities.”
- This makes clear it’s no secret how Kiev would use Tomahawks missiles if it received Washington’s approval to get them; however, President Trump has appeared to resist so far.

with commercial artillery shell fireworks. A Border Patrol transport van carrying illegal aliens attempting to get to the safety of the perimeter was then attacked. Border Patrol agents were able to secure the van and get it into the perimeter. The mob of rioters grew more hostile and violent, advancing toward agents and began throwing rocks and other objects at agents, including one that struck Chief Greg Bovino in the head. Border Patrol agents repeated multiple warnings to back up and that chemical agents would be deployed if warnings were ignored. Riot control measures were deployed, including by Chief Bovino, and arrests were made. Agents properly used their training. The use of chemical munitions was conducted in full accordance with CBP policy and was necessary to ensure the safety of both law enforcement and the public.

“The findings reveal that as President Biden’s condition deteriorated, his aides exercised presidential authority and facilitated executive actions without his direct authorization, including misusing the autopen and failing to properly document decision-making processes.”
- The House Oversight Committee on Tuesday released a video interview with a top Biden aide essentially admitting he was incentivized to cover up Biden’s cognitive decline because he was promised a massive payday for a 2024 White House win.
- The Oversight Committee, chaired by James Comer, opened an investigation into the autopen scandal earlier this year and subpoenaed several Biden aides for documents and testimony.
- The Committee called in several Biden aides as part of its investigation into Joe Biden’s cognitive decline.
- Top Biden aide Mike Donilon told the House Oversight Committee over the summer that he was promised a $4 million bonus if Joe Biden won the 2024 election.
- It was previously reported that Donilon was paid a $4 million salary for his 2024 election work, but an additional $4 million bonus was revealed during his testimony.
- Over the summer, Axios reported on Donilon’s testimony, where he admitted to the multi-million-dollar bonus.

He tore the mask off the entire food stamps program…and what he revealed will infuriate taxpayers. It’s far worse than anyone realized. “There are 42 million people in this country that need food stamps on a weekly basis.”
“And we’re saying ‘people’ deliberately instead of Americans because most of the people that are on food stamps aren’t even from this country.”
“45% of Afghanistan immigrants are on food stamps.”
“42% of Somali immigrants,
34% of every immigrant from Iraq,
23% of Haitians.”
“59% of ALL illegal aliens are collecting food stamps, meaning that most of the people getting food stamps from the U.S. Government and the U.S. Taxpayer are not even Americans.”
“Think about that.” “And we didn’t know about any of this before the government shutdown started.”
“But thanks to Democrats, we can confirm tonight that millions of Joe Biden, illegal aliens, people who crossed the border when Joe was president, are now collecting food stamps from a program funded by hardworking American taxpayers.”
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.
A shutdown is the wrong word. It’s a taxpayer holiday.
For the first time, the machine that burns your money is on pause.

Based on executive branch policies, the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR), and agency-specific guidelines (such as those from the Department of Justice and Department of Defense), certain high-level U.S. government officials are designated as “required use” travelers. These individuals must use government aircraft for all air travel—official, personal, or otherwise—primarily due to security protocols, the need for 24/7 secure communications, and protection against threats. This ensures continuous access to classified systems and protection, even on non-official trips (with reimbursement required for personal travel at commercial coach fare rates).The designation is made by the President (for agency heads) or agency heads (for others), per OMB Circular A-126 and FTR § 301-10.261. Not all senior officials fall into this category; many (e.g., other Cabinet secretaries) are authorized to use government aircraft for official travel but can opt for commercial options for personal trips.Here’s a list of key positions explicitly designated as required-use travelers:

Yes, individuals in the positions designated as “required-use” travelers (e.g., President, Vice President, Attorney General, FBI Director, Secretary of Defense, etc., as outlined in the prior response) must reimburse the government for the personal portion of any travel on government aircraft. This is mandated by the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) at 41 CFR § 301-70.804 and OMB Circular A-126, to ensure taxpayer funds are not used for non-official purposes.Key distinctions:
- Official Travel: No reimbursement required. The government covers all costs.
- Personal Travel: Reimbursement is required for the “excess” cost attributable to personal activities. Specifically:
- Travelers must pay the equivalent of the full coach fare (economy class) for the flights they would have taken commercially if not deviating for personal reasons.
- For an entirely personal trip, this means reimbursing the full coach fare for the entire itinerary.
- For mixed official-personal trips, it’s prorated: Reimburse the coach fare only for the personal segments or deviations (e.g., if a side trip for vacation extends the route, reimburse the added coach fare cost).
- Political Travel: Treated similarly to personal, with reimbursement of the excess coach fare for political portions, unless overridden by specific laws (e.g., campaign finance rules).
- Exceptions: No reimbursement if travel is authorized under certain statutes (e.g., 10 U.S.C. § 2648 for remote locations without commercial service) or for dependents in isolated postings.
- Payment Process: Reimbursement is calculated based on the lowest available unrestricted coach fare at the time of booking (not first-class). It’s collected via payroll deduction or direct payment before/after travel.
- Why Coach Fare?: This reflects the “fair market value” of commercial travel, though actual government aircraft costs are much higher (e.g., $200,000+ per hour for Air Force One). The policy balances security needs with fiscal responsibility.
- Enforcement: Agencies (e.g., DOJ for AG/FBI Director, DoD for SecDef) track and report usage annually to OMB/GSA. Non-compliance can lead to audits or penalties.
