♦ Some people just can’t take a win.  For the “I need to be outraged” group I would suggest their best time for complaining would be to join the collective association of the tech crew (Musk/Thiel), the alligator emojis (DeSantis/Cruz Crew) and the CONservative free traders (Massie, Paul, Roy).  That group of always unhappy, whining and never satisfied knuckleheads will welcome the griping, bitching and moaning.

However, that doesn’t work here. We have a big win to celebrate.

♦ The Senate version of the previously passed Big Beautiful Bill cuts more spending than originally delivered from the House.  You might ask why then did spending opposition narratives surface now and not when it passed through the House? Good question, we’ll get to that ‘political answer’ in a moment.

For now, the BBB is on track as it was originally planned (by July 4th); albeit right at the outer limits of the predicted timeframe that was announced in January.

The Senate BBB passed on a 50-50 vote split, highlighting it was the most conservative bill that could possibly squeak through the Senate.  It is the culmination of MAGA interests -vs- MAGA opposition, with the biggest win being the $70 billion for border security and ongoing deportation operations.

The original plan was always to use rescission bills to cut out the DOGE waste. Per Senate rules, the rescissions/cuts cannot be done until after the initial funding bill is passed (that’s BBB). Timeline: July – BBB, Aug – Rescission bills to cut DOGE waste {examples}, and Sept – FY 2026 Budget bill which begins October 1st.

Additionally, the narrative about the Senate bill including Medicaid spending for illegal aliens is false.

♦ The ban on Medicaid for illegal aliens is actually stronger than initially thought [See page 602. Section 77109].  As noted by Senator Schmidt, “the bill actually goes much further than the house version – beyond banning Medicaid for 1.4 million illegal aliens, it: • Requires states to verify citizenship status before providing coverage • Bans automatic Medicaid enrollment for children of illegal aliens • Excludes DACA from Medicaid.”

♦ This brings me to the “political opposition” aspect.

The declared “spending opposition” to the bill is actually a cover narrative for those who demand expanded immigration (Wall Street) and stand against border control and deportation.

They are angry about the immigration enforcement aspect but must remain quiet about it because so many Americans support the border security part.  So, the CONservatives and Tech bros attack based on spending, but that’s really just a Mick “Cantaloupes” Mulvaney maneuver.

In addition to destroying the “Green New Deal” fiasco, the Big Beautiful Bill gives $70 billion to President Trump to secure the border and get rid of criminal illegal aliens. The border security money is needed to exit the illegal aliens who Obama/Biden imported.  Money for more ICE agents and repatriation flight costs.

The border wall needs to be finished and all measures to ensure the total lockdown. Trump is securing the border, the first step in any immigration reform effort.  This was Ronald Reagan’s biggest mistake.  If congress now wants to discuss what comes next after the criminal illegal aliens & Biden illegal aliens are removed…. with a secure border, that conversation is now possible.

♦ Spending?  Congress and the media have a vested interest in hiding the truth from the American public because factually everything in the BBB is fully funded.   I know, I know, many people are saying, “wait, fully funded? How is that possible?”

Here’s the part everyone keeps missing.  Within the global trade reset President Trump has established a baseline 10% tariff. That means from this moment until the end of time every country will pay a minimum of 10% tariffs on every single import. Even if they get a free trade agreement (FTA) with the U.S. the baseline 10% remains, just like the U.K. deal recently completed.

Yes, steel and aluminum and other targeted tariffs may exceed the baseline 10%, but the baseline will always remain at 10% for everything imported.  There will never be an item delivered to the USA that does not include a 10% baseline tariff.

That baseline 10% tariff revenue -in perpetuity- funds the BBB spending and all of the associated middle-class tax relief within it.  Tariff revenues create a neutral state of spending impact.  This fact is why and how the White House convinced the House and Senate on the deal.

In material fact, even a future Democrat political apparatus will never be able to discontinue the 10% baseline tariffs because they will be dependent on the revenue generated.  Tariff revenue makes spending possible, that stops Democrats from withdrawing it.  In a way President Trump has lowered the income tax burden by shifting revenue to tariffs.

Elon Musk is a disgruntled Tech Bro who: (A) doesn’t like tariffs; (B) is worried about the new visa reviews and H-1B limits under Marco Rubio; (C) angered about the elimination of his Green New Deal subsidies; and is (D) directly attached to and dependent on China.  Plus, wait to see the value loss in Palantir if Trump and Putin strike a deal. Musk is an evil person.

There is a massive amount of winning within this deal.  Just remember, the better something is the more the opposition will use all the tools and puppets at their disposal to keep you from realizing its value.

Big wins today.

Huge.

We’re only five months in….
