"President Trump to build a national center for homeless veterans using funds that were previously spent on illegal immigrants. The executive order is another fulfilled promise of the president. "The new National Center for Warrior Independence will help them and other veterans like them rebuild their lives," the Trump White House said. "The Center will promote self-sufficiency through housing, substance abuse treatment, and support for productive work for the veterans housed there." "President Trump strongly believes that every veteran deserves our gratitude, and that the federal government should treat veterans like the heroes they are." Trump has directed that a campus be established in Los Angeles, where approximately 3,000 homeless veterans live. The goal is to house 6,000+ homeless veterans by 2028."
Trump’s New Weaponization Czar Ed Martin Unleashes Hell on Deep State — Quietly Investigates Russiagate Architects and Lawfare Operatives Including Weissmann
These are the same bad actors who weaponized federal power to persecute political opponents and twisted the justice system into a partisan hit machine.
“There was no limit to the weaponization,” Martin told The New York Post. “So there may be no limit to the targets.”
“It’s a nationwide and frankly, international docket where the government was used against the citizens, where the government was weaponized,” he added.
“Sometimes there’ll be crimes involved, in which case we’ll prosecute. Sometimes there’ll be just the need to make clear this is not how it’s supposed to go.”
While the Senate was busy playing games, Martin was already wielding his authority behind the scenes.
As interim U.S. attorney, he demoted multiple prosecutors involved in the politically charged January 6th cases and began launching fresh inquiries into Russiagate actors.
Mueller’s infamous “pitbull,” Andrew Weissmann; DOJ insider Mary McCord; and disgraced former FBI counterintelligence chief Charles McGonigal—who is now serving a prison sentence for colluding with sanctioned Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska—were all key players in the Trump-Russia saga.

“Tomorrow morning, in the White House, at 9:00 A.M., I will be signing one of the most consequential Executive Orders in our Country’s history. Prescription Drug and Pharmaceutical prices will be REDUCED, almost immediately, by 30% to 80%.”

For many years the World has wondered why Prescription Drugs and Pharmaceuticals in the United States States of America were SO MUCH HIGHER IN PRICE THAN THEY WERE IN ANY OTHER NATION, SOMETIMES BEING FIVE TO TEN TIMES MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE SAME DRUG, MANUFACTURED IN THE EXACT SAME LABORATORY...
There's One Reaction to US-China Trade Deal That We Should All be Looking Forward to Seeing
Donald Trump is the stuff of nightmares for liberal America. At every turn, he just owns them. They’re so biased and filled with animus that their allies in the media launch their manufactured narratives that always get shredded by facts and reality.
They said the tariffs aren’t working. MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle looks especially stupid since two significant deals between the UK and China were hashed out this week.
The border is now secure, but the initial ‘it’s not going to happen’ moment was from the first Trump presidency, where failed diplomat John Kerry said the Abraham Accords would never become a reality. It did. It’s a tradition: whenever a liberal makes a prediction, it’s almost always wrong.
Is it really a deal? I though that it's a temporary reduction in tariffs while talks continue.
In today’s first “Mission Impossible” story, we will recall that last week, President Trump offered Americans a stock tip, urging that it was time to buy. Keeping that promise, early this morning Al Jazeera ran a story headlined, “China and US agree to 90-day tariff suspension as trade war talks extended.” Global markets surged, with rising stock markets in Hong Kong, the U.S., and Europe.
The US and China issued a joint statement in the wee hours following two days of trade talks in Geneva, Switzerland. The talks, which came after President Trump created the need for emergency talks with a “spiral of increasingly heavy duties,” were called positive. Negotiators “agreed to suspend some of the heavy trade tariffs imposed against one another as they prepare to extend negotiations aimed at lowering trade war tensions.”
Tariffs, some reaching as high as 150%, will be dialed back to 10% across the board. China agreed to drop its tariffs and remove its “non-tariff countermeasures.” That last is code for unofficial punishments like regulatory harassment, slowed customs clearance, or just pretending the call went straight to voice mail.
When Trump first launched his tariff blitz, the media had an absolute meltdown. Pundits shrieked like naptime toddlers about a looming financial apocalypse, breathlessly predicting empty shelves, collapsing markets, hyperinflation, and the return of Dust Bowl-era bread lines. The Atlantic warned of a “global recession triggered by reckless trade brinksmanship.” CNN trotted out every retired Fed official they could find to caution that tariffs would crater consumer confidence and “devastate the middle class.”
Exempli gratia, behold this overwrought headline from Irresponsible Statecraft, one month ago:
The only thing missing was a tariff-fueled nuclear doomsday ticker in Times Square.
But once again, reality refused to cooperate with media’s dreams— and instead of a catastrophe, Trump got Chinese concessions and another stock market rally. Tariff Doomsday failed to show up for the breakfast buffet and hasn’t even checked in to the hotel.
What corporate media called “impossible,” Trump called “Sunday.”

I would like to know, WTF happened to the .50 cents that was deducted from every active duty member since 1980 for a veterans retirement home (unvoluntarily).

Dozens of white South Africans granted refugee status under Trump's new rule
A group of 49 white South Africans have become the first benefit of a controversial US refugee program.
The Afrikaners, who included families with small children, left South Africa on Sunday on a chartered plane bound for the US, a spokesperson for the South African transport ministry confirmed.

Refugee groups have criticised the Trump administration for prioritising Afrikaners, a white ethnic minority, over people in greater need.

That .50 cents goes directly to the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Northwest DC. Also, any fines from Article 15s go to home. This significantly helps funding, while charging Veterans as low as feasible to live there. It’s an impressive campus, worth the visit. The “Lincoln” summer Whitehouse in on the campus, too.

Ignore Gurps wall of text. It's only a "deal" compared to the recent BS. China agrees to a 10% US tariff, but in 2015 before Trump started all of this they had an average of about 7% tariff on US goods...so I guess we lost?

They go to fund existing veterans retirement homes? My old man lived in one in California, though that was part of CalVet.
