THE GAME PLAN
Sundance @TheLastRefuge2
“Trump will not find perfect solutions. He will find OPTIMAL solutions. We cannot ask for more.
Trump has stood by and watched Perfect murder Good for 8 years – maybe longer. He’s not gonna do it.
He’s going to deliver the best outcome possible, and he’s not waiting for us to feel relaxed about it.
Best presidency ever! Just hang on. More winning is coming, but a lot of people are going to scream that it’s all over at EVERY turn.
Bash the neocon, warmonger, and dopey globalist positions – not the people who are going to hold them one moment and come loose from them later.
Trump is Jupiter moving through the asteroid belt. He is going to pull people into his orbit.
A few will get slung off into space, but most will come along for the ride of their lives.
I am ON the Trump Train for good, even if I scream that I want off and can’t take it. In the end, I only want to scream “TOO MUCH WINNING!!!”
Unseen1 @unseen1_unseen
Here is the game plan that the forces against Trump will be using for the foreseeable future.
They will attempt to get you to make the perfect the enemy of the good.
Be it the freedom clowns and spending, the immigration hawks with H1B visas, the peace doves with timing, the cultural warriors with total bans of DEI/CRT, the neocons with war fighting, or the swamp dwellers with draining the swamp.
All of them will attempt to get you to believe on whatever issue is the issue of the day that it doesn’t go far enough or do enough.
They will try to make you think that some sub issue of that issue is more important and should be handled first, that since the issue hasn’t been handled yet it won’t be, that we can’t do more than one thing, that so and so is a plant to stop the draining of the swamp, or that because it wasn’t 100% Trump lied. On every single issue, one or more groups will attempt this strategy.
You can’t allow them that power over you. If Trump secures the border and deports 2 million, don’t allow them to reduce that good by them saying well he didn’t deport 2.5 million, so he failed or lied.
You can’t allow them to use the perfect to void out the good in the coming months.
They will try. They already have with the CR and the H1b visa debates. It works, that is why they use it.
You have to keep it in the front of your head on everything about to occur that half a loaf or hopefully in most cases 7/8ths a loaf is better than no loaf.

Now this is interesting. Appears ICE has subpoenaed over 1200 business records.
ICE arrests over 1K illegal workers, proposes $1M in fines | ICE
👏 👏 Thank you President Trump, Tom Homan and LEOs for working
to keep our streets and communities safer👏👏
Given the scale of the illegal criminals here, on their crime wave, and given that the courts are hellbent on stopping whatever they can, it seems like ICE needs to be doubled or tripled in size.
We need to deport MILLIONS of these people.. and we’ve got a very short window of time here to do this.
The activist judges goal is to stop the deportation of illegals. The Supreme court supported that with their ruling all illegals need a hearing for due process. Most will be dead of old age before they get a scheduled hearing.
Miller: It Would Take Centuries to Give All Illegal Aliens Due Process Before Deportation
https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2025/04/15/miller-it-would-take-centuries-to-give-all-illegal-aliens-due-process-before-deportation/
On Tuesday’s “Alex Marlow Show,” host and Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow talked about legal battles over deportations.
After playing video of White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller saying that because there are millions of people in the country illegally, so due process for them would take “centuries” Marlow stated that “the left has protected them, simply because they hate Trump and they feel like there’s some sort of larger political play here.”
Their ultimate goal is and always has been to give illegals the vote so they can stay in power forever and form their socialist dictatorship. Who would you vote for if you were an illegal with the right to vote? The party that wants to keep you here or hte party that wants to deport you?
President Trump should order our Military to take over the deportation problem…
The Military can arrest and deport the illegals and the corrupt “judges”, including the spineless “supremes”, can pound sand.
Agreed, the President we elected is trying to clean up an invasion because obviously we have a national security risk to address.
The rogue judges are stopping him from securing our country–THEY should be arrested at this point.
Hearing the details of that poor woman’s suffering at the hand of the less-than-human detritus really pissed me off in a way that I haven’t felt since before I was freed from the booze. Kinda like someone might get their ass kicked.
It made me remember that we have one shot at this. No way do I want that for my family. What ever it takes to help President Trump save Humanity.
“What ever it takes to HELP President Trump” succeed.
Amen. Me too.
During this phase of our Global War to defeat the “Mordor” OWO aka NWO temptations to become emotionally poisoned, disillusioned and distracted are now everywhere 24/7.
I now view each temptation as “How Spiritually Mature and PsyWzr Savvy Am I Right Now?” diagnostic quizzes; quizzes which also offer useful Intel about “friends” and “foes” plus much needed reminders to react by praying rather than pteying.
Wut?
Blessings to Stillwater, Maquis and Dutchman! 🙏💕
May all of the president’s cabinet speak succinctly– like the newly improved Rubio, yet act fiercely –like the pitbull Homan. 👊
rubio IS NOT IMPROVED!
He (rubio) has just improved his act…
It is only a matter of time until rubio stabs President Trump in the back!
If we honestly watch PDJT and look at the fruits of his labor we will be amazed.
We are intelligent, yet each of us has areas of inaccuracy in our worldview. By the grace of God , our designer, we have common sense and universal principles , but we have been so misinformed and incorrectly taught in the indoctrination/education and culture in which we grew up.
Listen to what President Trump says, his transparency in what he thinks, and the purposes behind his actions. You can see the consistency in the words he speaks, what he asks/demands of others, and the massive nearly overnight changes he is making in the world. It is amazing. It is amazing he is able to accomplish so much when there are so many snakes in the grass, often seemingly on his own team — but less so this term.
The purposes of everything he does, despite my battered conservative skepticism, are for benefit first of the PEOPLE of this country, then of the PEOPLE in the rest of the world.
The methods of his leadership are amazing. I still don’t get HOW he does it, or HOW he is able to get so much momentum going, but every day the momentum is growing. Everyone and every organization has their eyes opened every day — just by watching him. Even those who hate him, are biased against him, and want to see him gone — cannot ignore him. He lives rent free in their head, and they come around to seeing the universal principles by which he is operating.
He believes people are basically good. He believes that God is real. He believes that healthy people are happy people, and they need to be able to create wealth freely for their labor, and have the freedom to spend their money on what is good for them.
He believes the United States with its Constitutional Republic is the best environment in the world for happy people.
He believes that we can be a light for the world, but we must demand that the rest of the world respect us and our right to life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of happiness.
He believes the enemy of our country are the stupid, greedy American people who selfishly took advantage of this country and its people and its wealth for their own selfish gain at the expense of the principles of this country. He’s not going to allow that anymore.
He wants the US to be a light on the hill, and will negotiate win/win with those nations and countries who respect us and the principles and intent of our Constitution. But if you do not respect us, we are not going to let you take advantage of our goodness share in our wealth at our expense. And if you as a nation are treating your people badly, you are going to be treated less favorably by us until you show you value your people as much as we value ours.
He is convincing those who are very wealthy (most of who truly earned their money), that the best economic soil in which to build wealth is in a constitutional republic which support the ability of the common man to earn wealth in proportion to his efforts. The economic engine of the United States is the human spirit freed to enjoy the fruits of honest labor, and that engine has more natural and raw horsepower than any other governed economy.
The Trump Train, seems to be remarkably aligned with universal principles of Truth — and the principles of our Creator who is undeniably the standard in all of our founding documents.
These principles resonate deeply within all human beings, down to our DNA in every cell, in our spirits, and produce fruit that “miraculously” multiplies. Because we follow universal principles, we see the snowballing acceleration of momentum on day 88 of the 2nd term of this very stable genius in the history of the kingdoms of this world in the year of our Lord 2025.
Bodycam footage reveals what happened before cop shot ‘community leader’ after police chase
you really wanna watch this video to see the kind of physical attack this officer withstood
I’d have switched from the taser to the service revolver a damn sight earlier
There’s a Continent for that.
Retired 10 years ago and don’t miss it one bit.
As for tasers, I never liked them.
That guy was unfazed when tased. That has to be a lonely feeling when someone keeps coming at you especially with a knife. That cat closed that gap quick.
In your professional opinion did that look like PCP or a run of the mill psychotic episode?
Lawful Engagement Derangement Syndrome?
DEMONS
That’s exactly what it is.
I was thinking over and over watching the video.
PCP….
💁♀️ 🤷♀️
Drugs or Dain Bramage!
My initial impression is that he was experiencing a mental breakdown.
I’ve encountered a lot of people being treated for some form of mental illness who quit taking their meds.
The really difficult ones had ingested illicit drugs in place of their prescribed ones.
Relying on mentally ill people to take their meds is why Deinstitutionalization has been a disaster and a failure.
But I’m sure you know all this..
I bet a gigawatt taser would be the ultimate answer to the problem. 😀
Yup, send them back in time to before they were born.
A Ruger Security Six with Buffalo Bore +P hollow points woulda been my prescription..
The real answer is the .38 Special…
Well yes I have one of those, but I prefer my Dad’s Colt Ranger .357!
Correction, it is a Trooper not Ranger .357. My senior moment for the day.
I thank God every day for the past 15 years that my daughter (was HPD) is no longer on the street. It took a serious motorcycle accident with heard trauma but I am very thankful and blessed. Now she just has lost memories and all weren’t good ones.
Hopefully he wasn’t carrying a revolver but rather a semiautomatic pistol! Not to nitpick! There seems to be numerous instances where tasers aren’t effective. I don’t know anything about tasers, perhaps the tasers the cops carry don’t have enough voltage to stop rather large or drug crazed criminals? I was never a policeman so I don’t know if most cops today carry the easier to shoot 9mm or the larger more powerful 45acp or 10mm? Once a policeman feels his life is threatened and draws his gun it’s a last resort to stop a perp! If that cop is married and his wife sees that video it wouldn’t surprise me if she told him to retire and find another job!!! Godspeed our police!
Actually the 357 magnum delivers more ft lbs. of enery with a significantly higher velocity than 45 acp. I have killed many deer with 357 magnum with a revolver as well as a Rossi lever gun. I formally carried a 40 S&W, now l’m back to 357 revolver 🙃
Plus the effective range is much higher than the 45, speed matters
Plus no brass to police 😉
🤣😂🤣😂
Were these guys who were fired at the Pentagon for leaking people who were handpicked by Pete Hegseth?
If so, what does that say about Hegseth’s judgement?
Sounds sorta iffy, n’est-ce pas?
Is “Iffy” on the same team as Sniffy and Shiffty?
Does Iffy know or is Iffy just someone with those infamous “good intentions” who’s paving new roads to hell without realizing what they’re actually doing?
Tucker had an interview that he thinks it was a set up. Remember Flynn?
Of course it was a set up….
by Team Evil AND by Team Trump.
Once again, team derp state maroons were hoist on their own petard
while Roadrunner Trump once again stuck out his tongue then sped off unscathed.
Meep. MAGA. Meep.
“If so, what does that say about Hegseths judgment”.
Since theres a very real Lord of the Rings battle going on right now between Team Trump and Team Mordor; a war whose ultimate outcome will be affected by what each one of us chooses to do, or not do, with each moment we’re given.
perhaps engaging in “if so” musings based on “don’t knows” then encouraging others to join in, is NOT the best use of ones time, energy and creative talents?
Perhaps, “if so” mind games are better viewed as an as yet unearned “fruit of victory” aka a “peace time luxury”
which right now could be a very “Fatal Distraction”?
H/T to a fav Michael Douglas movie intended.
#PrayersUp4Pete
He coulda been okay, until he got the job.
Who knows what goes on in the background to make these people flip like they do and go to the dark side.
Are they blackmailed, paid off, who knows.
But they could have been okay and then not okay when seized by whatever it was that makes them become leakers.
A whole lot of people can be bribed easily when the Almighty Dolla is waved in their faces..
Also, it’s not like Pete Hegseth is personally sitting at the desk running the entire show himself.
It could have been the hire of the hire of the hire that made the decision about this guy getting the job.
I work with a lot of people, I know which ones are competent at their job and which ones are not. I don’t know them very well outside of the workplace. We all know each other by our first names, we are friendly and respectful to each other. We know a little about how the weekend went, we can deduce what people’s hobbies are. With some we may even know how many kids they have, their ages and other personal information that they chose to share, but I don’t know any of them well enough to trust them with my closest secretes.
If I had to put a team together for a work project, I would know which competent persons to chose.
So, Blondi is at about 77 FOX appearances. I wonder if she is trying to catch up to the days in office of Trump (88 now) and then slow it to 1 per day to keep even with him or is she just going to blow right past him like he is standing still?
1 Serious Arrest a day would work for me.
At that rate, nothing is going to change. There are thousands of government criminals. If this woman were serious, daily arrests would number in the hundreds. But she’s a complete joke. She’s a cartoon AG, and the DOJ division of the DS is completely protected under her.
Not unlike what is NOT happening with deportations. If you assume 50 million illegals in this country, which is probably low, then in four years that works out to about 12,500,000 deportations a year, or about 34,200 a day, which is nowhere near what is happening. Things gotta improve, and quickly.
OMG “nothing is going to change” guise. We are DOOMED!!!!
After 10+ years of this “Orange Man Bad” psywar, doom spreading chicken littles are so predictable that they’ve become toddlers and/or tweenishly amusing.
I’d be far happier with that than what we are experiencing now!
“We”
“We” == ?
“We” definitely =/= me.
For me, each and every day since President Trump was Inaugurated has been gratitude inspiring, energizing and joy full.
Anyway, sending best wishes to every “patriot” who’s currently suffering from one of the.many psywar viruses floating around right now.
😘 Get well soon.
President Trump is doing everything he can to drain the deep state swamp…
But, bondi, kash, and bongingo are “all hat and no cattle” and need to be replaced immediately or President Trump, his associates and family will be imprisoned immediately when the dim/commies are elected in 2028.

Its mildly entertaining to monitor who actually still gets triggered into taking each days hate “Blondi” bait and who doesn’t.
At this point in the spiritual psywar, one fav Light Hearted framing of these daily temptation tests ==

10 years ago I was on here talking about the “spot the troll” game. It hasn’t changed much.
They always type cutesy comments instead of typing clear straightforward comments in plain english. I’ve mostly stopped reading the comments here (except what Sundance has to say) because of it.
Yes. I, too, mostly stay away from the comment section hear at CTH. It has become somewhat become a cesspool of whining.
If they posted a copy of their X posts directly to Bondi, Patel, Bongino, and Trump then, I would at least know that they are directly complaining to the people that they are complaining about here.
But coming to the CTH and crying about someone else does nothing but annoy me.
It is like going out to lunch with someone and all they do is complain. Makes me want to avoid them.

Man Whose Death Sentence Was Commuted by Biden in 2024 Indicted for First-Degree Murder of 12-Year-Old Girl

There’s another accessory to murder charge for somebody..
That sounded like the guy was released to reoffend.. He was just charged with another crime serving life. At least Louisiana will put him to death. If he makes it that long as a child murderer in Angola.
It’s a click bait type headline from the Pundit. Louisiana will now handle it on a state level for the death penalty. This monster was part of several others commuted by the zombie fake president last Christmas.
They love their deadly criminals.

Shocking…..
Day 88 without any significant arrests .
And it’s very noticable and very irritating.
Yes, very. One can’t help but wonder why our President is allowing this? What are we missing here?
It appears a first term reoccurrence of erroneous placement of key individuals close to the President.
An opportunist, it seems Susie Wiles is shielding President Trump from information about shifting developments.
Protect her partner?
Sorry to say but I surmise we may not get any traction with Hermeet Dhillon either who is appointed to the election integrity helm.
President Trump, who is fulfilling his priorities, does not have time to babysit for underlings/placeholders who are not fulfilling mandates.
Nope… Don’t try to blame it on Susie Wiles…
The appointments of bondi, kash, and rubio are simply an instant re-play of Trump’s choosing Sessions and Barr during his first term…
November 22, 2024 | Sundance |
It would appear that President Trump’s campaign co-chair, and current selection for Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, was the link that pushed Pam Bondi to become the next Attorney General nominee.

The thousands of illegals arrested and deported are insignificant.
They are significant enough the democrats are going to other countries to try to get them back.
I guess significant is in the eyes of the beholder.
UK’s Labour PM Starmer Must Embrace Trump’s Free-Speech Agenda and Repeal Censorship Laws To Secure a Trade Deal: REPORT
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/04/uks-labour-pm-starmer-must-embrace-trumps-free/
“The Tennessee Star learned on Wednesday that Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an alleged member of the Central American gang Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) who was deported to El Salvador under President Donald Trump amid legal action claiming the removal was by mistake, was suspected of being engaged in human trafficking by a Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) officer who detained him in December 2022, leading the THP to contact the FBI for guidance.
Within two hours, the FBI ultimately requested the THP release Garcia and the passengers in his vehicle. THP complied with the request.”
https://tennesseestar.com/justice/bidens-fbi-ordered-tn-highway-patrol-to-release-maryland-man-recently-deported-to-el-salvador-after-he-was-detained-in-2022-traffic-stop-on-suspicion-of-human-trafficking/tpappert/2025/04/16/
He is a confidential paid asset of the FBI?
Interesting. Why was that?
Why would the FBI want Garcia released? If for a good purpose, it should be public by now, or they would have stopped him from being deported.
Sundance said all the FBI is bad. Kash says most FBI are good and he’s reforming. Bongino seems to be saying the same. Which is it? If Kash is good and Bongino is good, and FBI is good, and if FBI reasons for telling Tennessee Highway patrol to release Abrego Garcia were good, they would have quietly stopped the deportation, and quietly got him back into his important/good service. But they didn’t. I suspect the FBI interest in Abrego Garcia was sinister and embarrassing to someone.
For example, what if MS-13 was facilitated by Obama or WEF/RINOs to further tear down U.S. society, law and order for their purposes?
The Deep State/WEF/RINOs are slick, evil, and often manipulate moonbat crazy leftists to do their whining for them.
Hopefully the El Salvador leaders will question Abrego Garcia and and share info with the Trump Administration. Don’t be suprised, however, if deep state operatives cause Abrego Garcia to be Epstiened or Arkancided.
Regardless, I smell swamp stench.
👍
So Garcia has tattos. Is there a valid record that they were married? Was it a sham marriage?
Here is a report that Julie Kelly posted linking him to MS13

Well there’s the physical status report for that goofball “judge” was itchin for!
The very fact he had attorneys asserting the argument on his behalf, that he could not be repatriated to El Salvador’s CECOT because a rival gang would pose a danger to him, is an admission the guy is MS-13. This seems to be lost on the propaganda media.
Still has a way to go, but definite step in the right direction.
Big changes are underway for U.S. visas, quietly.
The age of cheap, temporary H-1B labor is ending.
The Trump administration isn’t just slowing new approvals.
It’s laying the groundwork to make visa sponsorship financially painful.
Under the H-1B Modernization Rule and USCIS’s new fee schedule, costs are rising.
And now, wage floor increases are back under review, targeting exactly how much employers must pay to keep a visa worker.
This isn’t about protecting workers.
It’s about shrinking demand without needing Congress.
These changes affect existing visa holders.
If your role is up for renewal, transfer, or amendment, your employer may soon face higher wage requirements or new documentation standards.
Promotions may be delayed.
Transfers could be reconsidered.
And companies are already rethinking whether H-1B staffing is worth the long-term cost.
They’re starting to prioritize workers they can keep permanently.
That means U.S. citizens.
If you’re on a visa and in a cost-sensitive role, understand this clearly.
The pressure is already building.

Da Vek wore out his welcome wagon for nothing.
Head fakes are highly underrated
Anybody notice how those RNC “primary” candidates who stepped forward and stood on the stage “debating” each other got alot of constructive exposure THEN went on and formed up around Trump, amplifying the MAGA agenda?
“Da Vek”
Aka the guy who’s running to be Ohio’s governor since Da Yuk Dewine is retiring?
The guy who President Trump just endorsed?
The guy who’s now 40 points ahead of everyone else in the primary since he was endorsed by PDJT?
Hopefully, those who choose to react by praying then finding ways to help PDJT will continue to increase.

FEDERAL FUNDING CUTS BY THE $$$:
Harvard: $2.26 billion
Cornell: $1 billion
Northwestern: $790 million
Brown: $510 million
Columbia: $400 million
Townhall’s Editor @KatiePavlich explains why the taxpayer no longer needs to be funding these flawed institutions:
https://nitter.poast.org/townhallcom/status/1912570244830212492#m
Hey, now….color revolutions ain’t cheap, k?
Trump is playing a dangerous game going against Universities.
They all have endowments in the billions – they can wait him out.
He is not making any sense here. Trump wants to eliminate all ideological litmus tests while imposing more ideological litmus tests.
Good on the schools for pushing back.
Let them push back with their own money and not the taxpayers.
They can all take their endowments and put them where the sun doesn’t shine.
The poor little babies don’t want to eliminate their racist, bigotted DEI policies or stop allowing students to take over buildings and attack fellow students. Oh, boo hoo.
The fact of the matter is that those very same endowments coupled with their insane tuition rates are a primary reasons why they shouldn’t get any taxpayer funding regardless of their policies.
And hopefully the IRS will follow through and take away their tax-free status!
No, it’s a good move that has broad public support. These schools discriminate far more egregiously than Bob Jones University did, just against whites and Asians and now Jews. They don’t need to be tax exempt.
Trump may not be making sense here but he just saved taxpayers 5 billion dollars.
I am good with that.
I think Trump is making sense. The little darlings are being indoctrinated by those schools into being anything and everything OTHER than patriotic Americans. JMHO
President Trump is making sense. By him cutting funds they have to use their own moneg. When that’s gone, they will be in a worse mess.
The underlying issue is why we’re they getting tax payer money? We don’t need to give them money when they have endowment money.
We want them to use their money instead of ours!
Trump is eliminating litmus tests. Everyone is equal except for individual merit. That is not that hard to understand. That is what has the Democrats so upset. They want the nation divided by race, sex, wealth and religion. It gives them more power.
The Harvard University endowment, valued at $53.2 billion as of June 30, 2024
Why are they getting any taxpayer money? What are they saving that money for? Just the interest on $53 billion would be enough for their under-grad and post-grad scholarships plus plenty left over to fund research go help humanity. And what are they using our taxpayer money to fund? DEI programs, left wing terrorism and Jewish hate.
Yes I believe in free speech, but free speech can have consequences and the government has no more business funding certain types of speech than censoring certain types of speech.
How will they pay you to come here?
Save the money and create trade schools. The money will go a lot further and we will have sane graduates.
Those so called schools are nothing but leftist indoctrination centers.
The country would be better off if they were shut down permanently.
Do you rave?
Plus the IRS has just been asked to determine whether these “schools” should lose the tax exempt status they currently enjoy.

Anyone who thinks there is an actual defense against a full scale nuclear attack is pretending in the extreme. The article is nothing more than click-bait and fear mongering.

Harvard, Meet Bob Jones
When I first saw President Trump’s suggestion that Harvard might lose its tax-exempt status, in addition to federal funding, I considered it mere Trumpian bombast. But Randy Barnett’s comment puts it in a different light:

Harvard Alum Applauds Trump’s Crackdown, Calls School an ‘Elitist Corporation’…

Harvard is where the roots of a whole lot of this insane deeply Left lurch this nation has been dragged on.
Shiva Ayyadurai was calling this out way back in 2018.
He’s gotta be loudly yelling “I told ya so” right about now.

One person’s bombast is another person’s negotiation tactic.
Harvard has more money in its endowment than small nations have.
This is a problem and it’s not okay, these colleges are wildly rich now and there is no need for them to have all these tax exemptions and perks- because they are up to no good with all this money!
And further, what has happened here is that they’ve destroyed the ‘brand’ that these Ivy League colleges once were.
Today, a degree from Harvard is something that could be a bad thing to steer clear of hiring.
Harvard has become a David Hogg producer.
Any non-profit that has a for profit operation should be taxed.
That includes all of the big churches.
If you want to get lost in the weeds, check out how many businesses and residences are “owned” by churches and other non-profit scams.
And the NFL.
If they do away with tax-free for federal tax it will also open them up foe State Tax!
Excellent. The states/counties can use the money to fix pot holes in the roads.
I would much rather university money goes to taxes than DEI and men in women’s sports programs.

EXPOSED: The Chinese Drug Pipeline That’s Poisoning Americans Did you know the U.S. relies on China for 95% of the key ingredients used to make generic drugs? Sure, that means cheaper meds—but are they safe?
At one Mayo Clinic ER, doctors were horrified to see a previously-healthy physician suddenly go into multiple organ failure. His death wasn’t caused by his condition. It was caused by something that never should have been in his medicine. And it all traces back to a toxic chemical made in China.

CBP says latest tariffs have generated $500 million, well below Trump’s estimate – CNBC
Published Wed, Apr 16 2025 12:26 PM EDT
U.S. Customs and Border Protection told CNBC the department has collected more than $500 million under Trump’s latest tariffs.
Trump has repeatedly said the United States is taking in $2 billion per day from tariffs.
CBP says the average $250 million a day was collected even during the glitch that impacted freight already on the water (which will refunded).
The update comes after a 10-hour glitch in the finance system prevented U.S. importers from inputting a code that would have exempted freight that was already on the water from being subject to the higher duties.
“Even during the brief glitch, CBP’s average $250 million/day revenue stream remained uninterrupted,” CBP said in its statement.
Trump has repeatedly said the United States is taking in $2 billion per day from tariffs, including revenues directly resulting from his so-called “reciprocal” tariffs.
The most recent data released Monday by the Treasury Department shows the department’s daily statement of total deposits listed under “Customs and Certain Excise Taxes” as $305 million. All tariffs are collected by U.S. Customs at the point of entry.
In early April, the administration imposed steep tariffs on dozens of countries. Hours later, it temporarily lowered most tariff rates to a universal 10%, except for tariffs on China, which it ratcheted up. Meanwhile, the administration maintained sector-specific tariffs on the automotive industry and is expected to announced new trade policies for the pharmaceutical industry.
https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/16/us-customs-tariffs-revenue-generated-since-april-5.html
Apparently, a lot of things were rushed through before the tariff took place which would lower the revenue until those supplies run out.
My simple mind does not see where we will receive a lot of tariff money if all of these countries make deals to avoid the tariffs or if we onshore the businesses.
I don’t see that as a problem as long as we are reestablishing our businesses.
Breitbart Business Digest: What Trump Knows About China That the Media Won’t Tell You

Federal Agencies Find ‘Horrific’ Conditions at Chinese Factory Near Atlanta
When police raided a factory in Georgia, they found dozens of Chinese nationals being kept in near slave-like conditions, and authorities say they were pressed into service by a forced labor trafficking ring.
Last month, agents from several agencies raided Wellmade Industries in Cartersville, Georgia, 40 miles north of Atlanta, and what they found shocked them, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Federal officials said that around 60 Chinese nationals were being held in tiny rooms and forced to work long hours in the flooring manufacturing plant. The exploited workers at Wellmade are just a few of the many exploited workers the Trump administration has rooted out.
ICE Homeland Security Investigations Atlanta Special Agent in Charge Steven N. Schrank said the conditions these workers were living in was “horrific,” and noted that he and his fellow agents were investigating eight other locations for similar offenses.
Three Wellmade Industries officers were arrested, including company owner, Zhu Chen, his nephew, Jiayi Chen, and company associate Jian Jun Lu.
At the bond hearings for the suspects, assistant district attorney Austin Waldo claimed that officials of the company immediately confiscated the workers’ travel and ID documents as soon as they arrived at the plant to make it harder for them to leave.

Very interesting discussion by a China expert on its, ‘giant with feet of clay syndrome’ economy and the last five minutes explains why the tariffs pose such an existential problem for the PRC.
It looks like JD’s comment about Chinese “peasants” was right on point.
This is a long vid (over 1 hr.) – but really interesting. Key takeaway: Given all the $$$$ that’s poured into China, it was projected to have become a major world democracy by 2025. But it hasn’t. (By the time Mao died in ’76, the standard of living was lower than what it was in ’46.)
Thanks for this, very good and informative video.
Official story: the burning jet fuel was hot enough to weaken steel, and it poured from the plane down the elevator shafts.
But the burning fuel didn’t pour down the stairways . . . because survivors from above the impact point descended the stairways to the ground floor.
There are photos of people standing in the gaping hole made by the plane.
These people are not burning in the fiery jet fuel.
But the official story says:
The jet fuel was so hot, it weakened the steel girders, causing them to fail and resulting in a freefall collapse . . .
And yet people throughout the towers survived this intense heat.
If you want to evaluate “the official story”, then just compare the complete collapse of the buildings to all the other times buildings collapsed due to a fire on a few floors.
Oh wait, you can’t because it’s never happened before. Never. 😉
9/11, the day two planes collapsed three buildings in downtown NYC.
Read that last sentence again if you didn’t understand it the first time. Yup, impossible.
Now THAT doesn’t sound like the warm and fuzzy “Maryland father” the MSM keeps telling us about…../s

Here’s a Truth Social Post from last night from our favorite President.
It’s posts like this that make me think we are watching some sort of orchestrated “movie”/”display” play out.
Notice how President Trump “displays” an obvious problem that has been going on for years and years but he assigns all the blame on Sleepy Joe and the “disastrous” past four years. The problem didn’t start four years ago. It started decades ago.
My point is it seems “the disastrous” past four years seem to be taking the blame for “the plan” to clean up decades and decades of our nation’s decline. Does that make sense?
The ultimate result is the same. Our nation gets the necessary and long overdue rebuild, but the easy to identify “disastrous past four years” gives the rebuild the “visibility” necessary to address the problem.
In summary, it seems ~80 years of “decline and rot” of our nation has been packaged into the “past four years” in order to wake us all up enough to finally address the issues once and for all.
In this sense, the “fake Biden Admin” may have been “part of the plan”. It had to have been. It wasn’t just bad, it was perfectly bad. A little too perfectly bad. Come on man? 81 million votes for a walking, talking potato? The acting was superb! “I’ll lead n effective strategy to mobilize a true…the thing, you know, the thing, poor folks are just as talented as white folks…” Hilarious!
Let’s see what happens.
Anyways, I view these as a purposeful strategy to wake everyone up to the long, long problems of our ailing nation (Lawfare, Unfair trade, Long march through the institutions, Green New Scam, corrupt politicians, deep state, Over-Regulation, Mockingbird media, Swamp in DC, etc, etc, etc).
Here’s the post:
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
Can you believe it? A Judge ruled against us on 530,000 Illegal Migrants (that Joe Biden flew over the Border in his program to transport Illegals into the Country by airplane) saying that they can’t be looked at as a group, but that each case has to be tried individually. Based on the Court System, that would take approximately 100 years. What is going on with our Courts? They are totally OUT OF CONTROL. They seem to hate “TRUMP” so much, that anything goes! We are trying to bring our Country back from the destruction caused by the Democrats and Crooked Joe Biden. I won on a Policy of Common Sense, and what Common Sense do we have when we have to have 530,000 trials? This Radicalized Judge is saying that Sleepy Joe Biden can fly more than half a million Illegals into America, IN ONE DAY, but we have to hold many years of long and tedious trials to fly each and every one of them back home. Where is the JUSTICE here???

It has been reported some mole in the DOJ put either ‘illegally or accidently’ deported in a court filing.

They were fired.
Thanks. I missed that. Don’t remember a termination related to this particular action.

“The instrument of revolution is judicial review, the doctrine that makes the Supreme Court the final arbiter, the decider, of what the Constitution says, and cedes to the Court limitless power to overturn laws enacted by the elective branches of government.
Jefferson said that to cede such authority to the Supreme Court “would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy.” Was he not right?”
Our Judicial Dictatorship
https://buchanan.org/blog/judicial-dictatorship-7010
Think of how ridiculous it is to “wait and see” what the Supreme Court says on a particular issue. It’s like everyone hangs on their words and yields all power to them.
All of that power comes down to chance as to which judge retires and who is President when that judge retires. It’s purely political. It’s essentially a microcosm of the house or senate.
Think of the Obozo Care decision. We all eagerly awaited the Supreme Court’s decision. And then found out how silly that was when they determined the fine under the individual mandate was considered a “tax” by them. Or whatever the hell their ruling was. What a complete sham!
Then think of all the damage to healthcare/health insurance that decision caused.
In hindsight, maybe that was a blessing because as a result of that debacle, more and more citizens now view the Supreme Court with a proper jaundiced eye.

Good Morning Treepers,

WTF? Trump DOJ Appeals Decision Affirming That Machine Guns are Protected by 2A
https://granitegrok.com/national/2025/04/wtf-trump-doj-appeals-decision-affirming-that-machine-guns-are-protected-by-2a
From the article:
So, it’s come to this. We have a federal judge who has enough integrity to look at the 2nd Amendment, even diluted by Bruen, and conclude that a law prohibiting the mere possession of a machine gun is unconstitutional on its face.
Awesome!
But the Trump administration is now asking for this decision to be reversed. That is, it is the position of the Trump administration that machine guns are not the kind of ‘arms’ that are protected by the 2nd Amendment.
And what is the reasoning behind this position? It’s that machine guns are not ‘in common use’.
I think that something has gone on here Treepers that people have missed !!!
I just read recently that the Trump Administration was going to form a task force to prevent or deal with the erosion of the 2A and then we see this?
As you can see from the starts of the tread over here in NH, there is confusion about how this has happened and what we’re now going to do about it all.
“machine guns are not in common use”
Not yet but soon.
“Now, it’s possible that this somehow slipped under Pam Bondi’s radar, and was handled independently by a holdover from a previous administration.”
On a brand new task force?
Many of us were curious about why this task force was even formed.
We have an anti-2A Attorney General. I think not being willing to uphold the Constitution should be disqualifying for that position.
Good catch.
For all gun issues, look up Toby Leary at Cape Gun Works.
He’s on the Howie Carr Show regularly talking about gun laws and actions being taken to push back against 2A rights infringements.
Howie has done some of his shows from Cape Guns Works. I was lucky enough to be at one when President Trump called in to Howie’s show. Pretty cool!
Here’s a video of him. From there you can find more info.
I’ve listened to Toby for years, he’s on Tuesdays.
This is disconcerting. Heavily.

It Was Obvious Amy Coney Barrett Couldn’t Be Trusted
Conservatives thought she would be their RBG. She turned out to be Trump’s worst pick
Apr 15, 2025
https://www.highly-respected.com/p/it-was-obvious-amy-coney-barrett
The MAGA Right no longer admires Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett. Over the last few weeks, the Trump appointee sided with the liberal justices in crucial cases concerning the administration. In March, Barret, along with moderate chief justice John Roberts, ruled against the Trump administration’s attempt to defund USAID, the notoriously left-wing government agency. Last week, she sided with the liberal justices again over President Trump invoking the Alien Enemies Act to deport migrants. She’s also ruled against the Right on cases concerning January 6 and presidential immunity.
Some Trump supporters want to impeach her, a proposal with zero chance of happening, but one representing the base’s anger. ACB is now widely mocked by conservative pundits and right-wing shitposters alike. This contrasts sharply with how Barrett was treated by the Right when she was first nominated. Out of all of Trump’s nominees, she received the most glowing treatment from conservative media. Conservatives saw her as their own Ruth Bader Ginsburg. They overlooked her glaring flaws. The desire to promote a role model for conservative girlbosses made them ignore her adopted Haitian kids and her tears over George Floyd.
I sent an email to the White House, I got a nice letter back, “from the president” that time. I could see that he was 100% behind her and no amount of protest would change that.
I disagree that it had anything to do with girl-boss role models. She wasn’t the first woman on the court. Anything I heard was about her being a Catholic with seven children, who was going to overturn Roe v. Wade.
It didn’t hurt that she wasn’t bad-looking, if you ignored the telltale crazy eyes.
Anti-Trump ‘Resistance’ Leader’s Campaign Bankrolled By Dem Power Broker Tied To Chinese Intel Agency
14 Apr 2025
https://dailycaller.com/2025/04/14/michelle-wu-campaign-bankrolled-gary-yu-chinese-intel-agency/
Boston Democratic Mayor Michelle Wu’s 2021 campaign received hundreds of thousands of dollars from a fundraiser who is listed by a Chinese intelligence agency as an official, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation discovered.
Gary Yu, the founder of Boston International Media Consulting, helped raise over $300,000 for Wu with the help of a Chinese civic association he leads. However, Yu — whose Chinese name is Yu Guoliang — is listed as an official by an agency of a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) influence and intelligence service called the United Front Work Department (UFWD), and also operates as a recruiter for the Chinese government, according to reports from the CCP, Chinese state media and civic associations led by Yu.
“The Communist Party’s UFWD never rests,” author and China expert Gordon Chang told the DCNF. “There is no ethnic Chinese official in America who is not targeted. It’s time for law enforcement to investigate the CCP’s ties to Gary Yu and Yu’s ties to Mayor Michelle Wu.”
Wu has risen to national prominence as a central figure in the Democratic resistance to Trump’s border and deportation policies. Wu recently defended her city’s refusal to cooperate with immigration officials during her March 19, 2025 “State of the City” address, during which she criticized “presidents who think they are kings,” prompting the White House to fire back the next day with a press release labeling Wu a “radical mayor” who “puts violent criminal illegal aliens first.”
“Wu’s ultra-leftism makes her the perfect candidate for CCP recruitment and capture,” Chang said. “Or do we have it backward? Is her ultra-leftism the result of CCP recruitment and capture? More than just the people of Boston would like to know.”
Surprised this isn’t getting more thumbs up. Might be reeeeeally interesting…

U.S. Plans to Use Tariff Negotiations to Isolate China
Wall Street Journal
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/us-plans-to-use-tariff-negotiations-to-isolate-china/ar-AA1CZkd9
The Trump administration plans to use ongoing tariff negotiations to pressure U.S. trading partners to limit their dealings with China, according to people with knowledge of the conversations.
The idea is to extract commitments from U.S. trading partners to isolate China’s economy in exchange for reductions in trade and tariff barriers imposed by the White House. U.S. officials plan to use negotiations with more than 70 nations to ask them to disallow China to ship goods through their countries, prevent Chinese firms from locating in their territories to avoid U.S. tariffs, and not absorb China’s cheap industrial goods into their economies.
Those measures are meant to put a dent in China’s already rickety economy and force Beijing to the negotiating table with less leverage ahead of potential talks between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. The exact demands could vary widely by nation, given their degree of involvement with the Chinese economy.
The White House and Treasury didn’t respond to requests for comment.
U.S. officials have broached the idea in early talks with some countries, people familiar with the discussions said. Trump himself hinted at the strategy on Tuesday, telling Fox Noticias he would consider making countries choose between the U.S. and China in response to a question about Panama deciding not to renew its role in the Belt and Road Initiative, China’s global infrastructure program for developing nations.
I was in my local drug store (the only one within about 25 miles) and randomly started picking up items and looking at place of origin. Out of about 25 items, 2 were made in USA, one in Brazil, one in India, and one in Thailand. All the bandaids were made in China.
We’re doomed.

The Corporate Veil
America’s Hidden Transformation
Joshua Stylman
Mar 12, 2025
https://stylman.substack.com/p/the-corporate-veil
Executive Summary:
What if the America you pledge allegiance to isn’t the one running the show? This investigation examines how America’s governance system fundamentally transformed since 1871 through a documented pattern of legal, financial, and administrative changes. The evidence reveals a gradual shift from constitutional principles toward corporate-style management structures – not through a single event, but through an accumulation of incremental changes spanning generations that have quietly restructured the relationship between citizens and government.
This analysis prioritizes primary sources, identifies patterns across multiple domains rather than isolated events, and examines timeline correlations – particularly noting how crises often preceded centralization initiatives. By examining primary sources including Congressional records, Treasury documents, Supreme Court decisions, and international agreements, we identify how:
Legal language and frameworks evolved from natural rights toward commercial principles
Financial sovereignty transferred incrementally from elected representatives to banking interests
Administrative systems increasingly mediated the relationship between citizens and government
