The Biggest Conservative Victory in 30 Years
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 7/8/2025 5:25:46 PM
Everyone knows that the "big, beautiful" tax bill signed into law on the Fourth of July lowers tax burdens for families and businesses. It also averts a $4 trillion tax increase starting next year. That's enough reason to celebrate heartily. But what isn't well known is that this new law doesn't just change tax policy. It includes dozens of other long-sought policy goals -- what I call "hidden gems." Here is a list of some of the major policy victories: The law is the most aggressive federal advancement of school choice by allowing low-income parents to direct education dollars to private, charter, or Catholic schools that are better for their kids.

Democrats continue to show they will let no tragedy go to waste in an effort to attack Republicans and President Donald Trump.
The latest to disrespect victims of the deadly Texas flooding in order to jab at the president was former Barack Obama senior advisor, David Axelrod, who got taken to the woodshed for spreading false information about budget cuts.
Axelrod, who also served as Obama’s 2008 and 2012 presidential campaign strategist, shared a link to a New York Times story in a post on X about the “horrific tragedy in Texas.”
“This horrific tragedy in Texas is a canary in coal mine. Yes, there’s waste in government.
The Biden administration temporarily waved in over half a million foreigners with no concrete strategy on how to keep their stay in the country temporary, a government watchdog found.
Between July 2021 to January 2025, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) opened the door to well over 800,000 noncitizens through various parole programs, but had no “defined process” to address their parole expiration, according to the DHS Office of Inspector General (OIG). The report also concluded that the Biden administration did not initiate enforcement actions for those whose parole had expired and had no assurances that former parolees were even legally present.
“DHS had defined policies, processes, procedures,
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have arrested 11 illegal aliens, all convicted of sex crimes including some against children, in the Minneapolis, Minnesota region, Breitbart News has exclusively learned.
“These pedophiles and sex offenders are the sickos our brave ICE law enforcement are putting their lives on the line to arrest and remove from American communities,” Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.
Among the 11 illegal aliens arrested by ICE agents between June 6 and June 11 are Pao Angelo Vang and Thong Lao, two illegal aliens from Laos, who have been convicted of second-degree sexual assault of a child.

Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) said Tuesday on CNN’s “News Central” that Congress has a “responsibility” to look into whether the Trump administration’s cuts to the National Weather Service affected the amount of deviation of the deadly central Texas floods.
Co-host Kate Bolduan said, “To is these deadly floods in Texas as these the search continues for the missing there are big questions being raised about the warnings that happened and the impacts also of cuts to — that the Trump administration had made to the National Weather Service.”
Immigration and Customs Enforcement has reported the arrest of Jonny Handy Martinez-Barillas, a Honduran national and MS-13 gangbanger who is in the U.S. illegally.
Martinez-Barillas, 30, was picked up in Clay County, Indiana, and was allowed to roam the country after police in Maryland freed him from prison without obeying an ICE detainer in 2023. [Tweet]
The illegal alien had been charged with first-degree murder and firearm possession in Maryland. [Tweet, video]
ICE reported that a second illegal alien with a criminal record was in the same automobile as Martinez-Barillas when officials came across the pair in Indiana.
Accompanying Martinez-Barillas was El Salvador national Jose Salvador Gonzalez-Campos,
President Donald Trump is growing the nation’s workforce by filling open jobs with native-born Americans, rather than importing more migrants to take such work, Bureau of Labor Statistics data reveals.
“Compared with the start of the year, foreign-born employment is down by over half a million workers and American-born employment is up by over two million,” Breitbart News Economics Editor John Carney reported.
And while hundreds of thousands of native-born Americans are scoring jobs in Trump’s economy, the all-important labor force participation rate rose from 61.4 percent to 61.8 percent, with the highest level ever of native-born Americans employed.
The Heritage Foundation’s E.J. Antoni made a similar note,
In March, in a coordinated effort by the U.S. Marshal Service (USMS) Southeast Regional Task Force (SERFTF), USMS Great Lakes Regional Fugitive Task Force, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Chicago Police Department, Venezuelan illegal migrant and Tren de Arugua member Ricardo Gonzales Leon, age 32, was arrested at a residence in Cobb County, Georgia.
According to the US Marshals, Ricardo Gonzales chose to enter the country illegally.
Gonzales and Gabriel Edison Romero are accused of kidnapping and killing two women and attempting to murder a third woman in execution-style murders in Chicago, Illinois in January.
Having traveled in Asia (Japan and China), I have some idea what it's like to be in a place where I not only can't speak the language, but I can't read signage - including road signs. (Snip) Of course, I wasn't driving a commercial truck. For years, Democrats in power have winked and looked the other way as people who can't speak or read English operated commercial vehicles in the United States. That's changing; on Tuesday, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, on his official X account, announced that commercial drivers who can't speak English will be taken out of service.

The State of Sleeper Cells
8 replies
In recent days, a chilling warning came from one of America’s top counterterrorism experts: Iranian sleeper cells may already be embedded inside the United States—hiding in plain sight, waiting to strike. With tensions climbing after the president’s strike on Iran’s nuclear capabilities, that warning has taken on new urgency. The threat isn’t hypothetical. It’s now a likely reality.
And while most states are coordinating with federal law enforcement, tightening security, and staying alert, California has done the unthinkable:
It’s opted out.
California is the only state in the Union that has withdrawn entirely from the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force—
A New York man has been arrested and slapped with federal charges for threatening to kill an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer and his children.
Matthew White, 41, of Jamestown, New York, allegedly made several threats on X against federal immigration agents and Department of Homeland Security administrators, including:
On April 18, White posted, “Kill them all, ICE is the new age gestapo, stop them.”
On April 29, White shared a video clip of Border Czar Tom Homan posted by an X user “America,” and commented, “Then understand that if your ICE agents don’t show proof of identity and a signed warrant, we will kill them.”
The Trump administration clinched another win today, with the Supreme Court shredding a restraining order on a rogue lower court’s ruling that prevented the government from reorganizing its workforce. For now, the mass layoffs that were put on hold are back on (via The Hill):
The Supreme Court on Tuesday lifted a judge’s order preventing the Trump administration from conducting mass layoffs across the federal bureaucracy, for now.
The court in its unsigned ruling said Trump’s February executive order directing federal agencies to prepare for reductions in force, or RIFs, is likely lawful.
It enables federal agencies to resume implementing Trump’s directive,

The government's Epstein problem
48 replies
None of us ever would have heard of Jeffrey Epstein had the government not brought him up. It was the government that brought charges against him. The government told us that he was “the most prolific child sex trafficker in history.” The government said he was “with intelligence.” The government cut him a sweetheart deal. The government was taken to court by “John Doe” over what the government called “client lists.” The government courts made a ruling about the “client lists” not being released. Senator Dick Durbin blocked the release of the “client list” in the legislative branch of the government. The government said it had “client lists” on its desk.
As lawmakers begin crafting the 12 annual appropriations bills to fund the federal government in fiscal year 2026, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has implied that his party will refuse to cooperate in the process if Republicans revoke billions in funding from previous years. The Senate is set to vote on a rescissions package that narrowly passed the House in June and would cancel already appropriated federal funds for public broadcasting and some foreign aid programs.
Republicans only need a majority vote for the legislation to pass. The Rescissions Act of 2025, compiled by the Office of Management and Budget, requests the cancellation of federal spending deemed wasteful

Six months after the devastating Palisades and Eaton fires, California Gov. Gavin Newsom unveiled $101 million in funding Tuesday for “multifamily low-income housing development” that will “contribute to a more equitable and resilient Los Angeles." The priority is for “geographic proximity to the fire perimeters of the Eaton, Hughes, and Palisades fires.” Earlier this year, The Center Square broke news that California state law and a local Los Angeles ordinance require fire-destroyed rent-protected housing — which includes all apartments in the city built before October 1978 — be replaced with low-income housing. Because the affordability requirements use county-level income data

Justice Department says, walking back

Jeffrey Epstein did not maintain a “client list,” the Justice Department acknowledged Monday as it said no more files related to the wealthy financier’s sex trafficking investigation would be made public despite promises from Attorney General Pam Bondi that had raised the expectations of conservative influencers and conspiracy theorists.The acknowledgment that the well-connected Epstein did not have a list of clients to whom underage girls were trafficked represents a public walk-back of a theory that the Trump administration had helped promote, with Bondi suggesting in a Fox News interview earlier this year that such a document was “sitting on my desk” for review.
Longtime "60 Minutes" correspondent Steve Kroft and "Daily Show" host Jon Stewart bashed Paramount Global and CBS’ eight-figure settlement with President Donald Trump as giving into a "shakedown" on Monday.
Kroft appeared on Paramount-owned Comedy Central to discuss the settlement with Stewart, who didn’t pull punches when discussing his own employer. Kroft, who retired from the show in 2019 after a 30-year run, said his former colleagues are devastated that CBS and its parent company settled Trump’s "election interference" lawsuit.
"I think there is a lot of fear over there… fear of losing their job, fear of what’s happening to the country, fear of losing the First Amendment," Kroft said.
NEW YORK — Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani holds a 10 point lead over Andrew Cuomo in New York City’s general election for mayor, while incumbent Mayor Eric Adams trails in fourth place behind Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, according to a new poll.
Mamdani gets support from 35 percent of registered voters, followed by Cuomo with 25, Sliwa with 14, Adams at 11 and attorney Jim Walden at 1 percent. Thirteen percent of respondents said they weren’t sure, while 1 percent picked another candidate. The poll was conducted and paid for by Slingshot Strategies, a polling firm that worked for mayoral
Former White House physician Kevin O'Connor's closed-door interview with the House Oversight Committee ended after less than an hour on Wednesday morning, with the doctor giving investigators virtually no new insights.
O'Connor pleaded the Fifth Amendment to multiple questions about his time with former President Joe Biden during his sit-down. It resulted in a hasty end to what could have been an hours-long deposition.
"I'm going to read the first two questions that were asked. 'Were you ever told to lie about the president's health?' He pleaded the Fifth Amendment. He would not answer that question.
It’s no secret that Joe Biden nominated Ketanji Brown Jackson to serve on the United States Supreme Court because she is a black woman.* In other words, she was not chosen for her judicial acumen, but for her political identity. That goes a long way to explaining the absolutely lunatic dissent she issued to a Supreme Court order. That order stayed a California district court judge’s ruling blocking President Trump from ordering agency heads to produce plans for possible “Reductions in Force.”
The influencer 4xtra, who co-hosts the No Jumper podcast, asked his fanbase who wants to get blown up in a video that went viral on social media. He was seen carrying some unlit fireworks in the clip.
"Who wants to get blown up today," he said in the video.
"I’m going to blow your a– up! I’m blowing somebody up today.”
4Xtra was left injured following the fireworks accident, his sister Emily said in a GoFundMe page that has since been created. Emily paid tribute to her brother, whose real name is Resan.
“Resan is someone who lights up every room with his humor and energy,” she said.

The answer is this: The consumers of these goods and services are often relatively poor. Poor people are bad at both making money and spending money. They make too little of it and they spend too much of it – on things that are wasteful or even harmful to themselves and to society. Much of what they spend is on credit cards with 22% interest rates.
