Y'all we can't afford to do anything for Americans because we're fighting a war we didn't want. I mean, a war and propping up dictators....nothing else!

President Trump just dropped the receipts 🔥

He has completely SHUT DOWN Biden’s open border disaster.

Legal asylum entries at the southwest border are DOWN 99.9% under President Trump.

This is exactly why millions of us voted for him, to secure our border and put America First again.

No more chaos. No more weakness.

America is BACK! 🇺🇸

Imagine this:


One Executive Order.
Every bank in America must verify:
👉 If you’re not a U.S. citizen - your account is closed.


No loopholes. No games. No exceptions.


Watch what happens next:


• Fake identities disappear overnight
• Ghost accounts tied to fraud vanish
• Illegals can’t get paid, can’t wire money, can’t live off the system
• Self-deportation skyrockets - no raids needed


Now go one layer deeper…


No bank account = no clean paper trail
No paper trail = no fake voter registrations
No fake registrations = cleaner elections
No more “mystery ballots” tied to phantom identities


Keep going…


• Billions in waste, fraud, and abuse get cut off at the source
• Taxpayer dollars stop flowing to people who never had a legal claim to them
• Entitlement systems stabilize
• Honest citizens stop subsidizing lawlessness


And then the real-world impact:


• Smaller classroom sizes
• Less strain on hospitals and ERs
• Lower demand for subsidized housing
• Less pressure on local law enforcement


And yes…


When you remove the conditions that enable illegal activity,
you reduce the activity.


Not through slogans.
Through structure.


This isn’t cruelty.
This is clarity.


This is what Law & Order actually looks like:


👉 Clear rules
👉 Equal enforcement
👉 No incentives for breaking the law


America First isn’t a chant.


It’s a system where:
If you want access to America’s benefits…
you follow America’s laws.


Period.


Winning.

🚨 Trump just made a brilliant strategic move.
The U.S. has elevated Indonesia to a Major Defense Cooperation Partnership — placing American military power right next to the Strait of Malacca, through which 80% of China’s oil flows.
Combined with the naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, America now controls the two most critical energy chokepoints on the planet.
China and the Iranian regime are officially trapped.
No more cheap oil. No more funding jihad.
Trump is playing 4D chess. America First is winning.

The fricking boss!!!



This was the most insane single day in American foreign policy in a generation and most people missed half of it..

> Iran agreed to suspend its entire nuclear program — indefinitely..

> Iran agreed to never close the Strait of Hormuz again..

> zero dollars changed hands.. no frozen funds.. no pallets of cash..

> the US naval blockade on Iran stays up until the final deal is signed..

> Trump publicly ordered Israel to stop bombing Lebanon — used the word PROHIBITED in all caps..

> Netanyahu went on live TV and admitted he was acting on a US request..

> Defense Minister Katz got overruled within hours after saying Lebanon ops "have not yet been completed"..

> a 10-day Israel-Lebanon ceasefire took effect overnight.. displaced Lebanese civilians started walking back to their villages..

> oil dropped 12% in minutes.. global equities surged..

> Iran's Foreign Minister declared the Strait of Hormuz "completely open" — first time since March 27..

all of this.. one Friday..

if you're not following me you're finding out about this 48 hours late from someone who read my post..

Another lie. How sad is it that we can't trust the words of Trump or any of his appointees?

"No, RFK Jr.'s claim in the hearing is not accurate as stated. Here's a clear breakdown of the facts based on available data from multiple sources:

The 1.4 million figure
"This number is real and refers to the drop in ACA (Obamacare) marketplace enrollment for 2026 compared to 2025. Early data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) showed roughly 1.4 million fewer people selecting plans after the enhanced premium subsidies (introduced during the COVID era and extended) expired at the end of 2025.

  • Premiums rose sharply for many (often doubling or more for subsidized enrollees), leading to lower sign-ups and some people dropping coverage or becoming uninsured.
  • Estimates of the total impact vary (e.g., Urban Institute projected up to 4.8 million could eventually lose coverage or go uninsured), but the ~1.4 million drop is widely reported in mainstream outlets like NYT, ABC, and CNBC.
These enrollees were overwhelmingly U.S. citizens or lawfully present individuals eligible for marketplace plans and subsidies. The drop is primarily attributed to affordability issues after subsidy expiration, not mass disenrollment of ineligible people."

  • Undocumented immigrants are ineligible for full-scope federal Medicaid (and ACA marketplace subsidies/premium tax credits) under long-standing law. They can only access emergency Medicaid services in limited cases (which represent a tiny fraction of total spending).
  • The enrollment drop happened and stems mostly from higher premiums after subsidy expiration — not primarily from purging "illegal immigrants" from ACA plans.

"The National Science Foundation which funds a quarter of all basic scientific research in the country is being dismantled.

Over 1,300 grants have already been canceled, wiping out $700 million in research funding. The White House wants to cut the agency’s budget by 57% (dropping from $9 billion to $3.9 billion) and slashing the grant approval rate from 26% down to 7%.

The cuts aren’t random. They’re targeting climate research, clean energy, social sciences, and programs that helped bring underrepresented scientists into the field. NSF has issued 1,000 fewer graduate fellowships this year alone a 50% drop.

The agency has been without a permanent director since its last director resigned in protest. Trump’s nominee to replace him would be the first non-scientist ever to lead the NSF a former venture capitalist with ties to Peter Thiel and no research background.

Congress has pushed back the Senate Appropriations Committee held funding steady, and the House proposed only a 23% cut instead of 57%. But the damage from canceled grants and leadership chaos is already being felt at universities across the country."

Trump administration orders dismantling of the U.S. Forest Service

The headquarters is going to Utah. Every regional office is being shuttered. The research program is being destroyed.

Late Tuesday afternoon, with the subtlety of a wrecking ball and the morality of a foreclosure notice, the Trump administration announced the most devastating attack on the U.S. Forest Service in the agency’s 121-year history. Not a budget cut. Not a policy shift. Not a “reorganization.” An execution.

This is a MASSIVE move by Scott Bessent.

The Treasury Department has said the IRS will be revising the Form 990 used by NGOs in an effort to uncover fraud and hidden sources of funding.

I’ve gone through hundreds of 990 forms. The way they’re set up right now, they do not have to disclose who their donors are.

Perfect example is GLSEN. They have two anonymous donors that give them millions and millions of dollars and they don’t have to disclose who they are.

Keep in mind that the people running GLSEN are trans activists.

I imagine that if this goes through many of these NGOs will dissolve. They’re all almost certainly getting money from the same people and will destroy their illusion of grassroots support.

Barack Hussein Obama wasted $34 million and 18 months on a failed attempt to fix the leaking Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris then proposed a staggering $300 million and 3 years for the exact same job. Donald Trump solved the entire problem for just $2 million using a simple industrial coating.

This is the difference between leftist career politicians and a real leader. The establishment throws hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars at problems and delivers nothing but excuses and failure. Donald Trump cuts through the bureaucracy, ignores the nonsense, and actually gets results.

Wait, what?


there are 10s of bills dropped every day in Congress. Most go nowhere. Trump has said he has donations to pay for the ballroom. Nothing stops any senator/representative to propose taxpayer funds (which Is dumb, by the way) just as nothing stops another senator/rep from proposing that no US funds be used to pay for the ballroom.

The blue is going to be a change, but i've got an open mind. I sure as hell i like blue better than replacing hundreds of millions of dollars worth of granite. Blue willl be less reflective than a deep, dark colored water but will be striking in its own right. And, the good thing is that this blue can be changed to a deep dark blue on the cheap in a few weeks.

I'm glad we're ;making improments to the capitol.

I live reading some of the comments on X. If I didn't know better, I'd think that the cost of groceries, gas and healthcare all rose only during the trump administration.
I know right, it seems like people think he campaigned on it or something - stupid voters.

I'm sure you know the intent of the Reflecting pool was to represent depth or deep reflection. A garish shade of blue doesn't meet that intent as you shouldn't be able to clearly see the bottom. I dont have a problem with the industrial coating but we shouldn't allow the most unpopular president in history to remake our storied monuments into a commemoration of his tacky taste.

one might have a pretty good case to argue the stupid voters were the ones who voted for the president who brought us the inflation to cause the prices to rise originally...I guess it depends on your perspective.

Of course one could also make the case that the current one. who was seemingly on the path to lower the rate of inflation, hasn't helped the cause

Your first paragraph ignores that the President you claim brought us inflation would have done much less spending if the president before him had managed the pandemic responsibly. Not only did Trump look the other way while it spread uncontrollably and even asked them to stop the testing, but you might not remember that when the vaccine was approved, the Trump administration had the military drop off the vaccines to the states with no guidance or distribution plan. So Biden had to spend money to get the vax to within arms length of every American at a time when 3500 people were dying per day. So in short, we weren't voting for inflation, we were voting for badly needed competence. The inflation was a byproduct of getting the US open for business again.

Of course you will because your hero did it but that defies the intent of it being a pool for refection - now it's a supersized reminder of the taste of a president we don't want to be remembered, and that's exactly why he's doing it. It's no longer about deep reflection, but a reflection of him.



The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is designed with a dark, often black or dark gray, bottom (stone or, in 2026, a dark blue coating) to minimize visibility of the bottom, absorb light, and maximize the mirrored reflection of the sky, trees, and monuments on the surface. This creates a "liquid mirror" effect, enhancing the architectural, solemn, and peaceful atmosphere of the scene.

  • Optimal Mirror Effect: Dark surfaces prevent light from passing through to the bottom and reflecting back up to the eye, which allows the surface tension of the water to create a crisp, clear image of the sky and surroundings.
Reason for dark reflecting pool

You didn't like the blue color from that 1961 photo? That was before trump, so you are allowed to like it without fear of retribution from the hive. lol. edit: Iike the blue in that photo, even if it's a daytime reflection of the sky plus color distortion from old film perhaps. When it's done and I see it i'll have a better opinon on if i do or don't like it. If i don't like it i'll say that, and you can rage about it for me.

Where did your picture come from? I asked two AI platforms and they say it's never been blue before.

No, the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has not been blue before 2026. Historically, the pool's basin was composed of granite and concrete, which gave the water a natural gray hue.

The transition to a blue color began in April 2026 as part of a renovation project directed by President Donald Trump.


No, the reflecting pool had never been blue before 2026. Since its completion in the early 1920s, the pool's bottom had always been its natural gray hue — the color of the granite and asphalt it was built from

The blue color is a very recent development. In April 2026, President Trump announced plans to coat the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in what he called "American flag blue," using an industrial-grade swimming pool surface applied by private contractors he knew from his real estate days. Trump had originally wanted turquoise, saying it would look "like the Bahamas," but was talked into "American flag blue" by his contractor.

The pool underwent a major $34 million renovation between 2010 and 2012, funded by an Obama-era stimulus package, but even that extensive reconstruction kept the pool's traditional appearance. The blue color is entirely new to the monument's roughly 100-year history.
