  1. President Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday that stops taxpayer money from going to illegal aliens. The White House says President Trump is “committed to safeguarding Federal public benefits for American citizens who are truly in need, including individuals with disabilities and veterans.” The President is demanding "corrective action" to stop “all taxpayer-funded benefits for illegal aliens.” Currently, children are entitled to a free K-12 public education regardless of immigration status under a 1982 Supreme Court ruling. Noting a 1996 law overhauling welfare benefits that denies most illegal aliens public benefits, President Trump says “over the last four years, the prior administration repeatedly undercut” it. The executive order directs all departments and agencies to identify federal benefit spending that is inconsistent with the 1996 welfare law. He says the Biden administration's border crisis resulted “in the improper expenditure of significant taxpayer resources.” The president is taking action against his predecessors use of parole to allow people into America on a temporary basis, including the controversial CBP One app used at the Mexican border that allowed 900,000 migrants in. More than 500,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans who flew to the US at their own expense with a financial sponsor took advantage of the program. President Trump immediately ended both programs. Biden also granted parole to nearly 300,000 people from Ukraine and Afghanistan. People granted parole for over one year are considered “qualified non-citizens,” making them eligible for income-based benefits after five years including Medicaid and the Children´s Health Insurance Program (which provides coverage to children in families that earn too much money to qualify for Medicaid). The order also directs federal department and agencies to identify all federally funded programs currently providing any financial benefits to illegal immigrants in the country and put a stop to it. The executive order “ensures that Federal funds to states and localities will not be used to support sanctuary policies or assist illegal immigration.” It also includes a mandate to improve benefit eligibility verification to make sure benefits are not going to immigrants in the US illegally.
  2. The spirit and enthusiasm of the people at Ford-Otosan is amazing. It reminds me of the US market in the 1970s and 1980s, when people used to enjoy going to work and selling trucks.
  3. Think of it, a modestly successful comedian, Volodymyr Zelensky, talked the United States of America into spending $350 Billion Dollars, to go into a War that couldn’t be won, that never had to start, but a War that he, without the U.S. and “TRUMP,” will never be able to settle. The United States has spent $200 Billion Dollars more than Europe, and Europe’s money is guaranteed, while the United States will get nothing back. Why didn’t Sleepy Joe Biden demand Equalization, in that this War is far more important to Europe than it is to us — We have a big, beautiful Ocean as separation. On top of this, Zelensky admits that half of the money we sent him is “MISSING.” He refuses to have Elections, is very low in Ukrainian Polls, and the only thing he was good at was playing Biden “like a fiddle.” A Dictator without Elections, Zelensky better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left. In the meantime, we are successfully negotiating an end to the War with Russia, something all admit only “TRUMP,” and the Trump Administration, can do. Biden never tried, Europe has failed to bring Peace, and Zelensky probably wants to keep the “gravy train” going. I love Ukraine, but Zelensky has done a terrible job, his Country is shattered, and MILLIONS have unnecessarily died – And so it continues….. President Trump
  4. Vice President Vance today warned the Ukrainian President Zelensky against attacking President Trump saying that 'badmouthing' him in public would only backfire. "The idea that Zelensky is going to change the president's mind by badmouthing him in public media, everyone who knows the President will tell you that is an atrocious way to deal with this administration," said Vance. "A dictator without elections, Zelensky better move fast or he is not going to have a country left. On top of this, Zelenskyy admits that half of the money we sent him is missing. He refuses to have elections, is very low in Ukrainian polls, and the only thing he was good at was playing Biden like a fiddle," said President Trump.
  5. The biggest function of the DOGE team is making sure executive orders are carried out. This is a very important thing. Because the President is an elected representative of the people, representing the will of the people, if bureaucracy is fighting the will of the people and preventing the President from implementing what the people want, then what we live in is a bureaucracy, not a democracy.

  9. The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals blocked Biden’s Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) plan, which would have transferred student loan debt from borrowers to taxpayers. The decision by the appeals court came after seven Republican-led states filed a lawsuit against the Department of Education’s SAVE plan and argued that Biden had no authority to establish the SAVE plan, and that he had been trying to find a roundabout way to forgive student debt after the Supreme Court blocked his sweeping debt cancellation plane in June 2023 ending a $430 billion debt writeoff. “The Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) Plan is the newest income-driven repayment (IDR) plan,” the Federal Student Aid website says. “Like other IDR plans, the SAVE Plan calculates your monthly payment amount based on your income and family size. In addition, the SAVE Plan has unique benefits that will lower payments for many borrowers.” The University of Pennsylvania’s Penn Wharton budget model estimated that the SAVE Plan would incur a net cost of $475 billion over the 10-year budget window, $200 billion of that cost will come from payment reduction for the $1.64 trillion in loans already outstanding in 2023, and 53 percent of the current loan volume will move to SAVE after it goes active in July 2024, implying that about $869 billion will be subject to enhanced subsidies under SAVE. In February 2024, while over 150,000 people who had taken out student loans were informed that all or part of their student loans would be forgiven, the SAVE Plan was really a transfer of the debt to the American taxpayer.
  10. President Trump has ordered that all remaining U.S. attorneys who were appointed under Biden be terminated. “Over the past four years, the Department of Justice has been politicized like never before. Therefore, I have instructed the termination of ALL remaining Biden era U.S. attorneys. We must clean house immediately, and restore confidence. America’s Golden Age must have a fair Justice System — That begins today!”
  11. U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins says President Trump is exploring ways for the federal government to stop China from purchasing American farmland.
  12. President Trump is ramping up secret CIA drone flights deep into Mexico to gather intelligence on cartel operations. The existence of the drone program has never been disclosed before, although it began under the Biden administration, U.S. officials told the New York Times. In the first days of his second term, President Trump designated the cartels a foreign terrorist threat. Secretary of Defense Hegseth and President Trump are both open to using military force within Mexico. “All options will be on the table if we’re dealing with what are designated to be foreign terrorist organizations who are specifically targeting Americans on our border,” says Secretary Hegseth. CIA Director John Ratcliffe has shifted more resources towards counter-narcotics missions to disrupt cartel operations.
  13. DOGE announced today that President Trump has saved American taxpayers $55 billion in less than a month. https://www.doge.gov/savings The savings were found through a combination of detecting and deleting fraud, canceling contracts and leases, selling assets, canceling grants, firing federal employees, changing programs, and saving money with regulatory reforms. Americans can expect DOGE website updates twice a week, with additional updates and improvements over time. The listed savings were primarily found within the US Agency For International Development (USAID), the Department of Education, the Office of Personnel Management, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Department of Agriculture.
  14. It appears to me the pilot put the plane down extremely hard, and almost entirely on the right landing gear, which then collapsed, causing the unlevel aircraft's right wing to rip off, which then allowed the aircraft to roll over onto its back after which the left wing ripped off.
