The tariffs are working, companies are moving back. Trump messages that we are in a transition and soon the people will see the gold. The [DS] is going down the path that trump sent. They are now exposing their infiltration and people can now see the entrenched enemy. Trump and the patriots are playing the game and it had to be this way to show the people the criminal syndicate.

European Union To Ban Anonymous Crypto & Privacy Tokens By 2027
- The European Union is set to impose sweeping Anti-Money Laundering (AML) rules that will ban privacy-preserving tokens and anonymous cryptocurrency accounts from 2027.
- Under the new Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR), credit institutions, financial institutions and crypto asset service providers (CASPs) will be prohibited from maintaining anonymous accounts or handling privacy-preserving cryptocurrencies, such as Monero and Zcash.
- “Article 79 of the AMLR establishes strict prohibitions on anonymous accounts […]. Credit institutions, financial institutions, and crypto-asset service providers are prohibited from maintaining anonymous accounts,” according to the AML Handbook, published by European Crypto Initiative (EUCI).
- The regulation is part of a broader AML framework that includes bank and payment accounts, passbooks and safe-deposit boxes, “crypto-asset accounts allowing anonymisation of transactions,” and “accounts using anonymity-enhancing coins.”

China Reroutes Targeted Goods to Friendly North American Partner to Avoid Tariffs
- As if on cue, a short article from the Chamber of Shipping notes that cargo from China is being rerouted to avoid tariffs.
- The destination of the cargo is, CANADA!
- USCoS – experts caution that prolonged storage costs—estimated at $1,750 per container per week—and limited warehouse capacity could force sellers to offload discounted goods into the Canadian market, potentially disrupting domestic manufacturing. Others warn the strategy is risky and unsustainable, especially if the trade conflict drags into next year’s U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement negotiations. (link)
This will not end well….

When Americans’ clothes were made in America
- U.S. Trade Representative posts shocking chart showing percentage of onshore manufacturing
- The post reads: “Reviving apparel production in America is not a pipe dream. It was not that long ago we were manufacturing 56% of U.S. apparel in America. ‘Made in America’ is an economic and national security priority of this administration.”
- “@POTUS’ trade actions are ushering in a reshoring renaissance as companies pledge billions of dollars to expand U.S. manufacturing.”

- American importers front loaded inventory in February and March with a 50% increase in orders. Now, in addition to those factories going quiet, the de minimis rule kicks in.
- (Via CNBC) – Chinese bargain retailer Temu changed its business model in the U.S. as the Trump administration’s new rules on low-value shipments took effect Friday.
- In recent days, Temu has abruptly shifted its website and app to only display listings for products shipped from U.S.-based warehouses. Items shipped directly from China, which previously blanketed the site, are now labeled as out of stock.
- Temu made a name for itself in the U.S. as a destination for ultra-discounted items shipped direct from China, such as $5 sneakers and $1.50 garlic presses. It’s been able to keep prices low because of the so-called de minimis rule, which has allowed items worth $800 or less to enter the country duty-free since 2016.
- The loophole expired Friday at 12:01 a.m. EDT as a result of an executive order signed by President Donald Trump in April. (more)
- The de minimis loophole comes from back in the 1930s. The idea back then was, say you went on a vacation to Paris, you shouldn’t have to file customs paperwork or pay taxes if you decided to ship some little Eiffel Tower statues to your friends back home.
- Congress in 2015 then raised the de minimis threshold from $200 to $800. However, the e-commerce world exploded, and Chinese companies began using the de minimis loop

- Just a month into his tariff policy, President Donald Trump could unveil his first new trade deals with allies as early as this week as his negotiators press for handshakes and signatures that could further calm markets and empower a brighter future for American workers, officials tell Just the News.
- Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick hinted at an approaching announcement last week when he revealed he has a trade deal with an unspecified country, pending approval of its conditions. Administration officials said as many as two or three deals could be unveiled in the coming days.

How It Could Happen: Crude oil accounts for ~50-60% of gasoline prices. To hit $1.98 per gallon, crude oil prices would need to plummet to levels not seen since the early 2000s. Using your earlier calculation (1 barrel = 47 gallons, though typically 42 gallons with ~20 gallons of gasoline), let’s estimate:
-
At $1.98 per gallon, crude oil might need to cover ~$0.99-$1.19 of the cost (50-60%).
-
Other costs (refining, taxes, distribution) add ~$0.79-$0.99 per gallon.
-
For crude to cost $0.99 per gallon: $0.99 × 47 gallons = ~$46.50 per barrel. For $1.19: ~$55.90 per barrel.
-
Thus, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude would need to fall to $40-$50 per barrel, a 25-40% drop from today’s $66-$67.
-
-
What Could Cause This:
-
Global Oversupply: OPEC+ drastically increases production beyond current plans (e.g., fully reversing 2.2 million bpd cuts), flooding the market. Combined with high U.S. output (13.55 million bpd), this could crash prices.
-
Demand Collapse: A severe global recession, worse than 2008 or 2020, slashes oil demand. For example, China’s slowing economy and Trump’s tariffs (10-20% on imports, 60% on Chinese goods) could trigger a demand shock.
-
Geopolitical Stability: Resolution of conflicts (e.g., Middle East tensions) removes risk premiums from oil prices.
-
-
Federal and state taxes make up ~$0.50-$0.70 per gallon (18.4¢ federal, plus state taxes averaging 31¢). Eliminating or heavily subsidizing these, combined with lower crude costs, could push prices toward $1.98.
-
Example: At $67 per barrel ($1.43/gallon crude), remove $0.50 taxes and cut refining/distribution costs (e.g., via subsidies) by $0.20-$0.30. This could bring prices to ~$1.93-$2.03.
-
-
What Could Cause This:
-
Trump Policy: Trump declares a national energy emergency, suspends federal gas taxes, and pressures states to follow. He could also subsidize refiners or retailers via executive action or new legislation.
-
Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR): Release large volumes of SPR oil to flood the market, temporarily lowering crude costs.
-
-
Trump’s “drill, baby, drill” policy massively expands U.S. oil production, flooding the domestic market. If production exceeds demand, prices could collapse.
-
U.S. produces 13.55 million bpd, near capacity. Doubling output to, say, 20 million bpd could crash domestic crude prices to $30-$40 per barrel, pushing gas toward $1.98.
-
-
What Could Cause This:
-
Open federal lands (e.g., Arctic National Wildlife Refuge) and offshore sites.
-
Slash environmental regulations (e.g., methane emissions rules) to lower drilling costs.
-
Fast-track permits, bypassing legal challenges.
-
-
OPEC+ oversupply and weak demand drop WTI to $50 (~$1.06/gallon crude).
-
Suspend federal tax (18.4¢) and some state taxes (~15¢ average).
-
Subsidize refining by $0.10-$0.20 per gallon.
-
Total: $1.06 (crude) + $0.50 (refining) + $0.30 (distribution) + $0.15 (reduced taxes) = ~$2.01, close to $1.98.
- The Trump administration on Friday said the federal steering council will work to help expedite 10 critical mineral projects through the complicated permitting process in response to an executive order President Donald Trump signed in March calling for boosted domestic production.
- “The Permitting Council is excited to grow our portfolio of critical mineral production projects with this latest tranche,” Manisha Patel, the Permitting Council’s acting executive director, said in a statement.
- “The transparency that these projects will receive as a result of being featured on the Federal Permitting Dashboard will be transformative, allowing stakeholders across government and industry the ability to track the progress of these projects, ensuring a level of accountability in environmental review that is often missing from the traditional process.”
- The newly added projects include: NorthMet, La Jara Mesa, Roca Honda, Greens Creek Surface Exploration, Stillwater Mine, Polaris Mine, Becky’s Mine Modification, 3PL Railroad Valley Exploration, Grassy Mountain Mine, and Amelia A&B.

New CEO of California High-Speed Rail Project Hopes it Might be Finished by… 2045
- California High-Speed Rail Authority
- California’s high-speed rail project is a lesson in the inefficiency of big government. The project was started nearly twenty years ago and they have not even started laying down tracks.
- One of the reasons it’s in the news right now is because it has gone way over budget and the people in charge are looking for alternate forms of funding.
- The current CEO, who came on board last summer, is now claiming that the project might be finished in twenty years. That would be the year 2045.
The Associated Press reports:
California high-speed rail leader pushes state to support private investment
- , Trump posted on Truth Social that he will be taking away far-left Harvard University’s tax-exempt status after the school refused to comply with five key demands from his administration and sued instead.
- “We are going to be taking away Harvard’s Tax Exempt Status,” Trump wrote. “It’s what they deserve!”
- As The New York Post notes, Harvard’s tax exemptions have played a key role in helping the school amass the largest university endowment in the entire country. It currently stands at roughly $53 billion, with $2.4 billion ‘earned’ in the 2024 fiscal year.

- After Democrats accused ICE of raiding the wrong house and terrorizing a U.S. citizen family in Oklahoma, the Department of Homeland Security fired back, beginning their official statement on X with a blunt response: “Wrong.”
- What actually happened was that ICE conducted a lawful, court-authorized search targeting a property long tied to a human smuggling network, not specific individuals. Surveillance conducted the day before the raid confirmed that a member of the Lima Lopez Transnational Criminal Organization was still paying utility bills at the home, which remained legally owned by an indicted smuggling suspect. The warrant, based on an 84-page affidavit, authorized the seizure of evidence regardless of who was present. As DHS stated, “This is an ongoing investigation, and we have not ruled out current occupants’ involvement in the smuggling ring.”
- Federal agents executed the search warrant on April 24 at a single-family home in northwest Oklahoma City. According to DHS, the property had been used as a stash house for human and drug smuggling involving individuals from Guatemala, Mexico, Colombia, and China. When agents entered the home, they encountered a naturalized U.S. citizen originally from Guatemala and her three daughters, the youngest of whom was 17. Although none of them were detained, DHS emphasized that the investigation is ongoing.

- The New York Times was caught by the White House on Saturday making a damning omission in an absolutely horrifying incident that happened on the New York City subway last month.
- As the New York Post reported, 44-year-old Felix Rojas has been accused of repeatedly r*ping the corpse of 37-year-old Jorge Gonzalez as he robbed him on a subway back on April 8 around 11:45 p.m.
- Per the New York Post, here are the full details from prosecutors regarding Rojas’s disgusting actions.
Surveillance footage showed Rojas first rifle through Gonzalez’s pockets to allegedly rob him, then return to sexually assault the man’s corpse, prosecutors said.
But when the far-left New York Times finally reported on the story, they led with this:

that by forcing country representatives to climb up on foot he will save on maintenance and perhaps remind their governments to pay their bills. On May 5th the un will brief members on a previously unreported $600m (17%) cut to its $3.7bn budget aimed at avoiding default this year. It will include a hiring freeze while officials consider further savings that a Western diplomat describes as “moving jobs from New York to Nairobi”. Yet it may not be enough. A combination of deadbeat members and mad budget rules have led to a liquidity crisis.

President Trump’s Plan
- The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has initiated an investigation into Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty’s controversial new policy that mandates prosecutors to consider a defendant’s race when negotiating plea deals.
- Soros-backed Hennepin County District Attorney Mary Moriarty has implemented a radical new policy requiring prosecutors to consider a defendant’s race when negotiating plea deals and pursuing sentence reductions.
- This blatant push for race-based justice, which took effect on April 28, 2025, is being slammed by critics as unconstitutional, divisive, and a dangerous step toward undermining the rule of law.
- The internal document, titled “Negotiations Policy for Cases Involving Adult Defendants,” instructs prosecutors to factor in a defendant’s “racial identity and age” when crafting plea agreements, according to reports from KSTP.
- While the policy claims that race and age are not grounds for departing from Minnesota Sentencing Guidelines, it paradoxically demands that prosecutors view defendants as “whole persons,” with race explicitly listed as a key consideration.
- The document reads in part:
