Thirty days in, and the Trump-Vance administration is delivering. Vice President JD Vance took the stage at CPAC, where the energy was palpable, the agenda was clear, and the message was simple: America’s comeback is here.

Border crossings are down over 90%. Energy dominance is back on the table. The spending spree of the last four years is shut off. The administration is moving at a pace Washington hasn’t seen before, and the press is scrambling to keep up.

Vance made it clear: This moment is a window to save the country, and the administration is taking full advantage. “We have to secure the southern border,” he said, “unlock the engine of American growth,” and stop wasting taxpayer money on projects that serve no one but the bureaucrats funding them.

And the people are with them. As Vance pointed out, Trump’s movement wasn’t just re-elected—it was given a mandate. A mandate to put America First. A mandate to restore law and order. A mandate to finally clean up Washington.

And while the establishment grumbles, the results are speaking for themselves. “What the hell have we been doing with the American people’s money for the last four years?” Vance asked. Under Trump, the answer is different.

No excuses. No delays. No nonsense.

Thirty days down. The best is yet to come.

Millions of “Dead” Americans Still on
Social Security?

Elon Musk just pulled the curtain back on something the government would rather you ignore: Social Security records list millions of people as alive when they’ve been dead for decades (or even centuries).

The same government that claims to protect your private data can’t even manage a basic death list-but sure, let’s trust them with digital IDs, expanded surveillance, and your medical records. What could go wrong?

How many of these errors translate into fraud, wasted tax dollars, or-dare we say-ballot eligibility? And why was no one in D.C. actually doing anything about it?

Accountability isn’t partisan. It’s common sense.

The Biden DOJ just sued New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and AG Letitia James over a state law that forbids cooperation with federal immigration authorities. That’s right—New York has been actively blocking federal agents from accessing DMV records, shielding illegal immigrants from deportation.

Now, the feds are saying enough is enough.

New York’s “Green Light Law” (because apparently, illegal immigration needs a fast pass) bars ICE and CBP from vital driver’s license data—meaning criminals who shouldn’t be in the country are driving around with zero oversight. The lawsuit argues this is a blatant violation of federal law, and the case could set the stage for a major showdown between state and federal authority.

And yet, Hochul and James—who’ve presided over skyrocketing crime, a mass exodus of law-abiding citizens, and a total collapse of public safety—are shocked that their policies are under scrutiny. Who could have predicted that prioritizing illegal immigrants over legal residents would end badly?

The real question: Why did it take this long?

Colombian President Gustavo Petro is urging undocumented Colombians in the U.S. to return home immediately, emphasizing the importance of rebuilding their lives in Colombia.

This appeal comes amid recent tensions between Colombia and the U.S. over deportation flights.

Initially, Colombia refused to accept U.S. military planes carrying deported migrants, leading President Trump to threaten significant tariffs on Colombian imports. Facing potential economic repercussions, Colombia agreed to accept the deportees, with plans to transport them on Colombian military flights to ensure their return.

President Trump is shaking up the status quo with plans to withdraw 20,000 U.S. troops from Europe. His "America First" approach puts the spotlight on a long-overdue question: Why should U.S. taxpayers continue to foot the bill for Europe’s defense?

This echoes Trump’s prior push for NATO members to step up their own defense spending. Back in 2020, during his first term, Trump made waves by planning to withdraw 12,000 troops from Germany due to unmet NATO targets—a move reversed under the Biden administration.

For decades, America has carried the weight, ensuring European security through our military presence. Now, the message is clear—Europe must step up and share the financial responsibility. Strong allies make a strong NATO, but it’s time for a more balanced partnership.

This latest development renews the focus on balancing U.S. taxpayer priorities with global commitments. What do you think—should European nations invest more in their own defense?

President Trump wasted no time getting to work on his second-term agenda, signing dozens of executive orders within hours of taking the oath of office. The sweeping actions touched on everything from securing the southern border to revoking Biden mandates.

➡️ Border Security: Declaring a national emergency and designating Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.

➡️ Energy & Industry: Rolling back the EV mandate that favored foreign interests over American automakers.

➡️ Health Policy: Officially withdrawing the US from the World Health Organization.

➡️ Justice & Pardons: Pardoning over 1,500 individuals connected to January 6th and commuting the sentences of several others.

Trump’s decisive first day sets the tone for a presidency focused on “America First.”

What do you think of Trump’s first-day moves?

A Florida jury has found CNN liable for defaming U.S. Navy veteran Zachary Young in a 2021 story about private evacuation efforts in Afghanistan.

The story painted Young as a profiteer exploiting Afghans fleeing the Taliban. In reality his clients were nonprofits and corporations, and the prices reflected the complex logistics of evacuations—not personal gain.

The jury awarded Young $5 million in damages, with additional punitive damages still to be decided. This case points to the serious consequences of media inaccuracies and the importance responsible reporting.

What are your thoughts on media accountability?
