Democrats and Their Media Lapdogs Want to Destroy our Country

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Each day since the inaguration of President Donald J. Trump we the people have witnessed how the Democrat Party (a.k.a. DeMS13 Party), democrat appointed judges and their media lapdogs (CBS, CNN, ABC, MSNBC, New York Times, et. al.) have been working in concert to totally destroy our American Republic and replace it with DeMS13 Fascism.

Fascism is a authoritarian political ideology and movement characterized by a dictatorial leader, a centralized autocracy, militarism, and the suppression of opposition. It emphasizes a strong, centralized state, and often involves the subordination of individual rights to the perceived needs of the nation or race. 

For example, Meta’s Facebook has launched a new and ingenious attack against our First Amendment’s freedom of speech. Facebook is using the censorship tool called “limiting spam” to silence those who are telling the truth about the DeMS13 Party and its candidates. Don’t believe me then just go to your Facebook page and try to share an article critical of the DeMS13 Party to more than 3 of your friends and see what happens.

Pew in October, 2024 revealed that Media Mistrust Has Been Growing for Decades.

The DeMS13 Party wants to replace our Constitutional Republic with an Islamist/Communist/Bolshevik/Marxist (ICBM) Regime. In our January 2023 column titled “My Greatest and Most Profound Mistake: Not Seeing the Existential Danger of the ‘Red-Green-Rainbow Alliance’” we noted, “We now have an even more dangerous and deadly ‘Red-Green-Rainbow Alliance’ bent on the destruction of our families, lives, lifestyles and livelihoods. Each is working, in concert, to destroy our cultural norms, fundamentally transform our society, destroy the traditional family and marriage between one man and one woman, undermine our Judeo-Christian religious foundation and infiltrate all of our government agencies including the Department of Defense. Each wants more and more power, absolute power over me, my family, my son and our grandchildren.”

The DeMS13 Party’s Poster Boy

The poster boy of this nouveau Regime is Zohran Mamdani, the DeMS13 Party’s candidate for Mayor of New York City.

Mamdi is the epitome of the Red-Green-Rainbow Alliance.

To understand please read Twenty-One Things to Know About Zohran Mamdani.

WATCH: NYC Democrat Zohran Mamdani is all smiles with Mahmoud Khalil — a foreign national extremist.

Kevin O’Leary says Mamdani will turn New York City from the American dream into the American NIGHTMARE.

WATCH: Kevin O’Leary: Mamdani will turn New York City from the American dream into the American NIGHTMARE.

Kevin O’Leary states:

Once again, Mr. Wonderful calls it exactly how he sees it, and he’s spot on.

“What he’s been doing is running around the streets of New York and saying FREE taxis, FREE subway, FREE buses for you, FREE everything!”

O’Leary warned exactly where that socialized infrastructure leads to:

“And of course, if you don’t understand what that means long term, you might vote for him. They certainly are proposing that.”

“This is a classic case of reading Atlas Shrugged.”

“I’ve got my kids reading it and they’re freaking out reading that thing because that’s exactly what he’s proposing.”

O’Leary detailed what will actually happen if this radical agenda goes forward.

“You CAN’T do this in an environment where there is competition of other states.”

“The money just LEAVES.”

“The tax base LEAVES.”

“The capital LEAVES.”

“The developer LEAVES.”

“The risk capital leaves and you’re left with a collapsing environment.”

Then he dropped the warning that hit like a thunderclap.

“It’s a horrible message for the American dream.”

“This guy is turning New York into the American nightmare.”

“The money comes in and it flies right over New York City and it lands somewhere else.”

What Zohran Mamdani wants is already happening in DeMS13 Party contolled California, Michigan, Illinois, Minnesota, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, and many many other “sactuary cities and states”.

The only ones who can stop this madness are America’s MAGA patriots voting out the traitors in both parties and putting in candidates who will uphold our God given rights, values and streghten our Constitional Republican form of government.

MAGA patriots must come out in force and vote during the 2026 midterm elections. We the people must expand the House of Representatives and U.S. Senate MAGA Republican majorities into super majorities.

If not then we the people will suffer horribly.

May God continue to bless the United States of America and her citizens from the criminal illegal alien invaders.

July 4 Flag Burning Sparks Outrage in NYC

ByTamira Musgrave · July 5, 2025

Radical demonstrators stormed Washington Square Park in New York City on July 4, setting fire to the American flag in an orchestrated display of anti-American sentiment. Chanting “F*ck the Fourth” and “We need a new flag,” the crowd left scorched remnants of the red, white, and blue strewn across the pavement.

The protest escalated as the group marched through city streets, directing vulgar chants at local officials. “We reject Eric Adams. F*ck the mayor!” was among the slogans shouted, along with attacks on former Governor Andrew Cuomo over his handling of COVID-19, including, “When Cuomo lies, New Yorkers die.”

Earlier in the day, a separate protest took place outside the federal courthouse at Foley Square. Participants, dressed in black to signify mourning, engaged in prolonged, high-pitched screaming while kneeling on the ground. Organizers described their actions as a demonstration against “sentimental patriotism and deadly militarism.”

An anarchist collective released an online call to action encouraging Americans to burn flags in protest of Independence Day. The group urged followers to steal American flags, Trump flags, Blue Lives Matter flags, and law enforcement emblems from stores, homes, and government buildings. A custom hashtag was promoted to share images of the criminal acts, and participants were told, “Be careful and happy flag hunting.”

The incident reflects a rising trend of anti-American demonstrations in major cities, often fueled by far-left ideology and organized anarchist networks. By staging these protests on the Fourth of July, agitators aimed to provoke patriotic Americans and challenge the foundational values of the nation.

For conservative Christians, the American flag stands as a symbol of God-given freedom and national unity. Its desecration on Independence Day is not just a political stunt—it is a direct attack on the moral and spiritual foundations of the country. Acts of flag-burning, though legally protected, reveal a deepening cultural divide between those who honor America’s heritage and those who seek to dismantle it.

IDF Wants to End Gaza War Within 2-3 Weeks

/in , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Maj. Gen. Eyal Zamiar and his associates, the Jerusalem Post has learned, want the war in Gaza to end within two to three weeks. Their thinking is as follows: first, in such an arrangement all of the living hostages, not just a few as is currently being discussed, would come home, ending the stress and divisions in Israel society over their return; second, there are so few Hamas targets left to hit in Gaza, so that the law of diminishing returns has set in; three, Israel has, alas, been losing the battle of public opinion, as videos of killed or wounded children in Gaza, and the endless rubble, are shown on television, while Hamas-provided numbers on casualties in Gaza, and on the makeup of those casualties (women and children seem remarkably to predominate) are uncritically accepted by the media. Israel is also being accused of deliberately killing aid seekers, though it is Hamas that is doing the killing in order to make sure that the GHF distribution of aid will fail; the IDF fires warning shots at some Gazans, but only when they ignore commands not to approach too closely to those guarding the aid; the Israelis have also been accused by Hamas of poisoning — with expensive oxycodone! — the food the GHF hands out. Why the Israelis would wish to sabotage their own delivery of aid by poisoning recipients so that others will stay away is not made clear; it is, of course, complete nonsense.

The IDF wants to return some of its hundreds of thousands of reservists to civilian life, where their absence from work has had economic consequences. It also wants to concentrate, after 21 months of war in Gaza, on its other fronts. With Iran, it may renew its strikes on the Islamic Republic if it shows any signs of trying to restart either its nuclear program or its ballistic missile program. The IDF still has to bomb the Houthis into submission, as they have shown themselves to be remarkably resilient, and continue to lob missiles and drones towards Israel. In Lebanon, the IDF has built five outposts in southern Lebanon that it intends to hold onto, and has been attacking Hezbollah fighters who have not pulled out of southern Lebanon, as they had agreed to do. Israel wants to so weaken Hezbollah that the Lebanese National Army can take over and finish the job, pushing to disarm Hezbollah throughout Lebanon and to turn it into a purely political movement. Israel intends to hold onto the territory on the Syrian side of Golan it took over just after Assad’s fall, and it has also seized all of Mt. Hermon, which looms over Damascus; the IDF is not about to relinquish control of those commanding heights. It also has to worry about Turkish forces in northern Syria, where Ankara has seized control of Syrian territory in order to keep watch on the restive Kurds in Syria, for fear that their separatist dreams might also inspire Kurds in Turkey to make common cause with them. So there’s a lot for the IDF to worry about, and getting out of Gaza would free up many tens of thousands of troops for deployment elsewhere.

More on the security establishment’s hope to end the Gaza war soon can be found here: “Israel’s security elite want end of Gaza war in two-three weeks, sources tell ‘Post’ – analysis,” by Yonah Jeremy Bob, Jerusalem Post, July 3, 2025:

With senior sources telling The Jerusalem Post the defense establishment wants the war to end within two to three weeks, and US President Donald Trump pushing for a potential end even sooner, might the current dizzying Middle East conflict of 20 months finally come to an end?

Or will continued opposition from Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir once again extend the war?

Alternatively, might Israel and Hamas reach a third temporary ceasefire, which only freezes hostilities for two months or longer, but with the sides eventually resuming the conflict later in 2025 or early 2026?

In addressing the issue, the first question is: Why might the war finally end this time, when earlier negotiations – November 2023 (first ceasefire), May 2024 (close to a deal), August 2024 (close to a deal), and this March (second ceasefire) – did not end it?

While Israel may also get some improved terms in negotiations with Hamas, the most important elements here are: IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir, Trump, and the 12-day Iran war.

Zamir is in a completely different position than his predecessor, Herzi Halevi, who had major achievements during the war, but also had the albatross of the October 7 massacre permanently stained on his name. He was never trusted by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, because he was appointed while Netanyahu was out of office….

Unlike his predecessor, Herzl Halevi, Eyal Zamir was not tainted by the October 7 failure. Herzl resigned because it was widely felt that he had, along with some others, failed to foresee, or prevent, the Hamas atrocities carried out that day. General Zamir came into office having played no part in the October 7 debacle.

During General Zamir’s short tenure in office as chief of the general staff, the results have been spectacular. The IDF has seized far more of Gaza in a few months than had been seized by the IDF in the 18 previous months when Halevi was still in charge. And then in twelve days, the IDF hammered Iran, destroying a dozen nuclear sites and damaging three more — at Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan —- after which the American bunker-busters bombs delivered what appears to have been the coup de grâce of all three. The latest judgement, from both the CIA and the Israelis, is that Iran’s nuclear program has been set back by several years.

Zamir is untouched, as Halevi was not, by the October 7 debacle, and furthermore, he has been so successful militarily, both in subduing Hamas and cornering it in 25% of the Gazan territory, and in dealing a colossal blow to Iran, that he is in a position to push Netanyahu to accept his, Zamir’s, view of the IDF’s continued war in Gaza. It is General Eyal Zamir who is now unassailable, and if Netanyahu crosses him — by, say, ordering him to continue fighting in Gaza when Zamir thinks it now makes more sense to stop — he will do so at his own political peril. Besides, if all of the hostages will now be returned in a ceasefire agreement, Netanyahu can take the credit.

And once out of Gaza, the IDF can concentrate on the following: first, holding onto the territory it has seized from Syria on the Golan and on Mount Hermon, which is now completely in Israeli hands, while hoping to persuade Al-Sharaa that Israel will be a useful counterweight to Turkey, which has seized territory, in order to control the Kurds in Syria; second, keeping the five outposts it has built in southern Lebanon to prevent Hezbollah from remaining anywhere south of the Litani River; third, keeping up military pressure on the Islamic Republic — including repeated bombings of Iranian nuclear sites, perhaps even with bunker-buster bombs and B-2 bombers that the Americans might now be willing to lend to Israel, should Tehran show any signs of restarting its nuclear program.

Pedophilia and Politics

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

In an important recap of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) revelations, journalist Margaret Flavin reports on an audit of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) as discussed in a recent interview with Vice President JD Vance. Flavin’s article, “Vice President Vance Underscores Reports of Massive Waste and Corruption in Foreign Aid (Video),” posted on Gateway Pundit, June 29, 2025. The results of the audit reveal that only 12% of the money allocated to USAID for aid arrives at its destination! How is this possible?

Vance explains the corruption:

“So, we send $100,000 to this group to buy food for poor kids in Africa, okay.”

“And what actually happens is it’s not $100,000 that go to the food for the poor kids in Africa. The NGO, the non-government organization that gets that money, contracts it out to somebody else, and then they subcontract it. So, there’s like three or four middlemen.”

“Marco Rubio, who’s the Secretary of State, he’s a very good friend. What he told me is that his best estimate, after he had his team look at it, is that 88 cents of every dollar was actually being collected by middlemen.”

“So, every dollar we were spending, humanitarian assistance, 12 cents, was actually making it to people who needed it.

In fiscal year 2023, USAID distributed $7 billion of American taxpayer monies worldwide, and less than $1 billion was actually distributed to the needy. This confirms the waste, fraud, and abuse that Elon Musk’s DOGE team discovered. Secretary of State Marco Rubio responded with his March 10, 2025, announcement that 83% of USAID programs, a whopping 5200 contracts, many were cancelled saving tens of billions of American taxpayer dollars. The 1,000 remaining programs will be managed under the State Department.

Marco Rubio’s March 10, 2025 tweet:

After a 6-week review, we are officially cancelling 83% of the programs at USAID.

The 5200 contracts that are now cancelled spent tens of billions of dollars in ways that did not serve, (and in some cases even harmed), the core national interests of the United States.

In consultation with Congress, we intend for the remaining 18% of programs we are keeping (approximately 1,000) to now be administered more effectively under the State Department.

Thank you to DOGE and our hardworking staff who worked very long hours to achieve this overdue and historic reform.

So, who are the big losers in the crackdown on USAID, and what programs and policies that harmed or did not serve the national interest were they funding?

To answer this question, it is important to remember the history of USAID. Former President John F. Kennedy created USAID in November 1961 by Executive Order 10973 with the specific purpose of supplying aid when the president deems it to be in the national interest. According to journalist Mike Gonzalez at The Heritage Foundation, “USAID devolved into an agency that spent money on programs that hindered the pursuit of freedom overseas and directly contravened our national interest.” Gonzalez’s February 19, 2025 article, “The Unmasking of USAID,” explains:

“During the Obama years the U.S. Agency for International Development was used to promote abroad policies that remain controversial within American society itself and that serve no clear national security interests,” “I wrote in a 2017 Heritage Foundation study.

These agendas, I wrote, included programs that promoted—sometimes as a condition of the aid—lifestyle choices that Americans debated for decades or are still being debated, such as transgender rights and same-sex marriage or trained foreign citizens in street “activism,” “civic engagement,” and “mobilization.”…

I added in my paper that in the promotion of radical agendas in several countries, USAID has found an ideal partner in George Soros, a billionaire supporter of far-left causes worldwide. Indeed, evidence began to emerge that, under former President Barack Obama, USAID made Soros’s foundations the main implementer of its aid.

The radical leftist/Marxist programs and policies of former President Barack Obama, embraced and financed by billionaire George Soros, and expanded under the ghost presidency of former President Joe Biden, are being dismantled by MAGA President Donald Trump. And USAID is being restored to its original mission to supply aid when the president deems it to be in the national interest. The diametrically opposed interpretations of our national interest are reflected in the policies and programs of radical Democrat past presidents Obama/Biden vs MAGA President Donald Trump.

Make America Great Again (MAGA) principles follow the U.S. Constitution to protect and preserve national sovereignty and individual sovereignty in our constitutional republic. Former president Marxist Barack Obama sought to fundamentally transform America into a socialist state in his first two terms, then through ghost President Biden, and now through his ongoing support of Marxist ideology designed to create chaos and to collapse America from within. The cultural battles between Democrat Marxism and MAGA Americanism are irreconcilable differences that have bifurcated our nation and left us teetering on revolutionary divorce.

The 2017 Heritage Foundation study referenced above includes the abhorrent sexualizing of children. First introduced unsuccessfully into Hungary by Hungarian Marxist George Lukacs (1885-1971), cultural terrorism is a communist tactic designed to destroy the nuclear family which is central to the Judeo-Christian tradition that is the foundation of Americanism, our constitutional republic, and western civilization.

Before the Bolsheviks came to power, Hungary was a Catholic nation. Lukács recognized the necessity of collapsing the traditional nuclear family in Marxist revolutions, following Lenin’s dictum, “Destroy the family, you destroy the country.”

As deputy commissar for education and culture, Lukács targeted Hungary’s family unit and its traditional sexual morals. He implemented a program called cultural terrorism, which had two tactical objectives. First, target children’s minds through lectures that encouraged them to ridicule and reject Christian ethics. Second, groom them with graphic sexual content and instruction in free love and sexual intercourse. People in Hungary were so enraged it forced Lukács to flee the country. (Space Is No Longer the Final Frontier––Reality Is, pp. 124-125, Linda Goudsmit 2024)

All forty-five chapters of my 2024 book Space Is No Longer the Final Frontier––Reality Is, begin with the same opening paragraph to remind the reader that we are a world at war: Globalism vs. Nationalism:

Globalism is a replacement ideology that seeks to reorder the world into one singular, planetary Unistate, ruled by the globalist elite. The globalist war on nation-states cannot succeed without collapsing the United States of America. The long-term strategic attack plan moves America incrementally from constitutional republic to socialism to globalism to feudalism. The tactical attack plan uses asymmetric psychological and informational warfare to destabilize Americans and drive society out of objective reality into the madness of subjective reality. America’s children are the primary target of the globalist predators.

The cultural terrorism that was wholly rejected in Hungary in the 20th century, particularly the sexual component, has been wildly successful in 21st-century America and other western nations. The sexualization of children, sexual terrorism, is the nexus of the globalist elite campaign for one-world government, and the intersection of  the World Economic Forum, the United Nations, and its affiliate organizations which uniformly support one-world global governance through implementation of the United Nations 17 Sustainable Goals.

All 17 Goals sound absolutely fantastic––but the language is a lie! The 17 Sustainable Goals are the roadmap to one-world governance. Each of the 17 Goals ultimately end in the surrender of your individual agency, your freedom, and your national sovereignty to the international, intergovernmental rule of the globalist elite through the agencies and authority of the United Nations. Do not be fooled by the politically seductive language of the 17 Goals. BUYER BEWARE!

Sustainable Development Goals

  • Goal 1. End poverty in all its forms everywhere
  • Goal 2. End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture
  • Goal 3. Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
  • Goal 4. Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all
  • Goal 5. Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls
  • Goal 6. Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all
  • Goal 7. Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all
  • Goal 8. Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all
  • Goal 9. Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation
  • Goal 10. Reduce inequality within and among countries
  • Goal 11. Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
  • Goal 12. Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
  • Goal 13. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts*
  • Goal 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development
  • Goal 15. Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss
  • Goal 16. Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels
  • Goal 17. Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development

* Acknowledging that the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is the primary international, intergovernmental forum for negotiating the global response to climate change.

In Chapter 19: From Sex Education to Sexuality Education of Space Is No Longer the Final Frontier—Reality Is, I discuss Goal 3 in depth:

Goal 3 is of particular interest to this chapter, especially section 3.7:

By 2030, ensure universal access to sexual and reproductive health-care services, including for family planning, information and education, and the integration of reproductive health into national strategies and programs.

What, exactly, is the “information and education” young children will receive? Parents around the world will be shocked to learn what the United Nations and its specialty agencies consider appropriate sexual and reproductive information and education….

First, sex education is no longer just about human reproduction. The new label, Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE), is far more expansive and is defined on the Health and Education[v] section of the UNESCO website:

“Sexuality” is defined as “a core dimension of being human which includes: the understanding of, and relationship to, the human body; emotional attachment and love; sex; gender; gender identity; sexual orientation; sexual intimacy; pleasure and reproduction. Sexuality is complex and includes biological, social, psychological, spiritual, religious, political, legal, historic, ethical and cultural dimensions that evolve over a lifespan.” (International Technical Guidance on Sexuality Education, p. 17)

Key values of CSE include:

Transformative: CSE impacts whole cultures and communities, not simply individual learners. It can contribute to the development of a fair and compassionate society by empowering individuals and communities, promoting critical thinking skills and strengthening young people’s sense of citizenship. It empowers young people to take responsibility for their own decisions and behaviours, and how they may affect others. It builds the skills and attitudes that enable young people to treat others with respect, acceptance, tolerance and empathy, regardless of their ethnicity, race, social, economic or immigration status, religion, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or sex characteristics.

In the same way that the 17 Goals sound great but in reality, are catastrophic, the words sexuality and transformative are equally destructive, particularly in the context of the foundational assumption in CSE that schools are the appropriate place for sexuality education, not the home:

CSE is weaponized education on a global level. Its universal curriculum is designed to collapse existing cultures into a singular culture of the planetary Unistate and indoctrinate students with politicized education according to Marxist collectivist dogma. CSE grooms the children of the world to unite and become activists in preparation for global citizenship in the Unistate.

The deceitful manipulation of language is a weapon of war designed to dupe parents into accepting Comprehensive Sexuality Education as equivalent to the familiar and accepted Sex Education. There is no equivalence. Comprehensive Sexuality Education is a colossal deception that presents lessons in pornography as equal to lessons in human reproduction.

The globalist predators, many funded through the corruption of USAID, are advancing sexual terrorism in the United States in their attempt to legalize pedophilia––the soul murder of your children––to destroy their selfness and groom them for life in the totalitarian globalist Unistate.

Billionaire George Soros and his Open Societies Foundations (OSF) support transnational governance in the globalist Unistate. Soros-funded groups like Indivisible and MoveOn advocate the overthrow of the current world order of sovereign nation states, specifically targeting the United States under MAGA President Donald Trump. OSF is a grantmaking network of organizations dedicated to establishing “open” societies and limiting authoritarian regimes. Open Society Foundations website describes itself and its mission in glowing terms. Don’t be fooled by the lofty language––the goal of the globalist enterprise is the collapse of the United States from within:

The Open Society Foundations, founded by George Soros, are the world’s largest private funder of independent groups working for rights, equity, and justice.

The Open Society Foundations champion the search for bold, democratic solutions to our urgent, common challenges that advance rights, equity, and justice.

We do this by supporting a wide array of independent voices and organizations around the world that provide a creative and dynamic link between the governing and the governed.

Our approach seeks to counter the narrow pursuit of political self-interest and short-term opportunism—in pursuit of a sustainable future for people and planet that leaves no one behind.

In classic Orwellian word perversion, Soros’s “open” societies focus on rights, equity, and justice” limiting authoritarian regimes.” Like the UN 17 Sustainable Goals, the words sound great––until you realize the words rights, equity, and justice are tag lines for Marxist Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)––the policies and programs designed to collapse Americanism into socialism, then communism, and ultimately feudalism in the dystopian globalist Unistate. Radical gender ideology is a core component of the radical leftist ideology advanced by George Soros, his Open Society Foundations, and its NGOs funded by USAID in order to implement the Marxist indoctrination and sexual terrorism that most definitely harmed the national interest!

The legalization of pedophilia is the medium and the message for total societal collapse––the endgame of the sexualization of children. It is the politics of pedophilia.

The One Big Beautiful Bill’s Tax Cuts for Seniors Needs to be Made Permanent & Congress Needs to Repeal the Tax on Social Security

/in , , , , , , , , , , /by

Here are the key points about the One Big Beautiful Bill and its massive tax cut for Seniors:

Age: You must be 65 or older.

Income: The full deduction of $6,000 (or $12,000 for married couples) is available to individuals with modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) up to $75,000 (or $150,000 for couples filing jointly).

Phase-out: The deduction phases out for higher income levels. It reduces by 6% for every $1,000 earned above the threshold.

No deduction: You cannot claim any of the deduction if your income exceeds $175,000 (single) or $250,000 (married filing jointly).

Duration: This deduction is temporary and is in effect for tax years 2025 through 2028.

Not linked to Social Security: The deduction is not tied to Social Security payments themselves. It simply reduces taxable income for qualifying retirees.

Other deductions: You can claim this deduction whether you take the standard deduction or itemize your returns.

NOTE: The One Big Beautiful Bill doesn’t eliminate taxes on Social Security, but rather introduces a temporary deduction that beneficiaries can claim to lower their federal income tax. Notably, that deduction applies to all of a senior’s income — not just to Social Security benefits.

How did Social Security Benefits Get Taxed

Heres what happened to Social Security:

  1. Before 1984, Social Security benefits were not taxed. In 1983, legislation was passed that made up to 50% of benefits taxable for certain higher-income individuals. 
  2. Then the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) of 1993, signed by President Clinton, increased the maximum taxable portion of Social Security benefits to 85%. 
  3. The higher 85% tax rate applied to those with combined incomes (including Social Security benefits) above $34,000 for single filers and $44,000 for joint filers, according to Kiplinger and the Social Security Administration. 
  4. This change meant that a greater portion of Social Security benefits became subject to federal income tax, effectively increasing the tax burden on higher-income retirees. 
  5. These income thresholds have not been adjusted for inflation since 1993, meaning that over time, more and more retirees have been affected by the taxation of their benefits, according to Kiplinger. 

The Bottom Line — Take Action Before the 2026 Primary Elections

Republicans, Independents and Democrats in Congress must come together and make this massive tax cut for Seniors permanent.

Additionlly, Congress must repeal the tax on social security benefits before the 2026 midterm election.

Seniors have been double taxed at a rate of 85% on their Social Security benefits signed into law in 1993 by former President Bill Clinton. Seniors have been paying more and more ever since.

TIME TO TAKE ACTION

It is time to call your Representative and your two Senators and ask them to:

  1. Make the One Big Beautiful Bill and its massive tax cuts for Seniors permanent and…
  2. Repeal the 85% tax on Social Security now!

Israeli General Avivi On Iran’s Many Miscalculations

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Israeli Brig. Gen. (Ret’d) Amir Avivi has published here a piece on Iran’s many mistakes that made the IDF’s stunning successes in its war with the Islamic Republic possible.

In just under two weeks—and after years of mounting pressure—Iran has suffered a series of devastating blows. Key military commanders and nuclear scientists have been killed, strategic infrastructure and nuclear sites destroyed, and the regime’s grip on power shaken. Iran’s once-feared regional influence has revealed itself to be lacking, with its proxies unable or unwilling to act on their sponsor’s behalf.

Speaking to The Media Line hours before President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, Brig. Gen. (res.) Amir Avivi told The Media Line that such a result wasn’t the predestined outcome of a clash between Iran and its archenemy, Israel. Had Iran acted more strategically, he said, the Islamic regime and its proxies probably “would have managed to bring Israel to the verge of destruction or destroy Israel.”

Avivi, founder and chair of the Israel Defense and Security Forum, described a series of miscalculations on the part of Iran that led to the regime’s significant losses. Chief among them was Hamas, an Iranian proxy group, initiating the October 7 attack before Iran had acquired nuclear weapons.

“They could have waited a year or two to become completely nuclear,” he said. “It would have been much wiser for them to move towards nuclear weapons while all the proxies are fully in readiness to attack. This would have put Israel, as it did for many years, in a big dilemma because then you attack Iran, you immediately go into a multifront war with all the proxies shooting at you at the same time.”

The October 7 attack by Hamas also lacked coordination with other fronts, a move Avivi says doomed it from the start.

“I remember at 6:30 in the morning when the war started, the first question I asked myself—as someone who is leading an organization that two years before the war, saw the war is coming—was why isn’t Hezbollah attacking? Why aren’t the Iranians attacking? How can it be only Hamas? Once it was only Hamas, I can tell you that four hours into the October 7, it was crystal clear to me they lost the war and we’re going to win decisively. They did a huge mistake,” he said.

Hezbollah joined the war the next day but without coordination, leading to what Avivi described as the group’s effective collapse….

“I don’t think they can really threaten anybody,” he said. “And I think that if they decide with the remaining capabilities they have to try to close Hormuz or shoot American bases or allies, Saudis maybe, Emirates, this will be the end of the regime….

Closing Hormuz would mean closing off the shipment of Emirati and Saudi oil to their customers. Neither Saudi Arabia nor the UAE would stand for that, but would attack Iranian shipping in the Gulf, and perhaps even Iran’s oil terminals at Kharg Island. Nor will the Iranians dare to attack American bases in the region; they lobbed a few missiles at the Al-Udeid airbase, but made sure none of them would cause damage, by warning the Qataris well in advance, and the result was what Trump described as a “very weak response.” But if the Iranians were again to attack American bases in the region, Trump has warned that they “would be hit so hard like you can’t believe.” And Israel’s multi-tiered defense system includes the Sling, Arrows 1,2, and 3 for short- and middle-range missiles, and the Iron Dome interceptors for long-range ballistic missiles.

Avivi insists that regime change in Iran cannot be imposed, but the conditions that would cause enough Iranians to rise up against their oppressive rulers can be created from outside. He offers the example of Hezbollah, battered by the IDF, and so weakened that the Lebanese army is at last now prepared to challenge Hezbollah militarily. The humiliation of Iran’s rulers who have suffered a devastating military defeat will weaken the regime’s power to intimidate the people. The spectacle of Iran’s nuclear program, that cost the country $500 billion in sunk costs and in other costs resulting from sanctions, blasted to smithereens, will certainly enrage Iranians, not only with the U.S. and Israel, but with their own rulers, for such a colossal waste of the country’s money.

Hamas, meanwhile, now knows there is no chance of any help coming to it from Iran, that has itself been knocked from pillar to post by the IDF and, most recently, by the US air force, and reduced to pleading for a ceasefire with Israel. Nor can Hezbollah, or Syria, help Hamas. It is on its own, and the IDF, no longer having to put its main effort into the war with Iran, can concentrate on dealing with the remnants of Hamas in Gaza, for whom the future will be — as was said of a different people in Gaza long ago — dark, dark, dark, amid the blaze of noon.

Operation Midnight Hammer—Can’t We All Just Be Proud Americans?

/in , , , , , , /by

As a military aviator and veteran of more contingencies than I care to remember, I watched with bated breath and prayers in my heart on the evening of June 21st as Operation Midnight Hammer was unfolding on live TV.

A 37 hour long mission, cramped cockpits, strapped to ejection seats, radio silence, with only a tiny toilet to take care of nature’s calls and a small cot to try and catch some shut eye, were just some of my thoughts.

But I went to sleep that night so proud to have been an American aviator—and an American citizen—proud of my nearly four decades of military service.

Knowing what it takes to plan and flawlessly execute a mission of such scale and scope, at extreme ranges, over enemy territory, with incredible skill, precision, and courage, I saluted my fellow pilots and stood a bit taller, as a proud American Airman.

What those Airmen, Guardians, Sailors, and Soldiers pulled off was nothing short of miraculous. No other country on planet earth could have done this—without a single casualty or mishap.

Yet waking up that next morning I found myself in a parallel universe. Rather than praise and pride, the airwaves were filled with bellyaching naysayers, all looking for a cloud in the silver lining….

Even allegedly “moderate” Senator (former astronaut) and decorated Naval Officer Mark Kelly (D-AZ), went so far to express there was “no endgame in mind, “ suggesting also that there were no specific goals and objectives.

I thought to myself—it just seems like America is ever increasingly becoming a blob of polarized individuals from two different ends of a political spectrum instead of representatives of our nation’s motto of “E Pluribus Unum.”

As a graduate of two of our nation’s premier war college—the Naval War College (Command and Staff) and the National War College—with two master’s degrees in National Security Studies), I take great umbrage with Senator Kelly’s assessment.

The #1 lesson I took as a graduate from those two distinguished colleges is we often fail in warfare when we don’t clearly define the end state.

What specifically are we trying to achieve? The #2 lesson? —”Have clear, definable, achievable objectives.”  President Trump very clearly articulated our desired end state as: an Iran that was nuclear weapon free (and incapable of producing one.)

The objectives, too, were limited, and deftly defined—demolish the nuclear weapon production sites that are buried deep in the ground that perhaps are beyond Israeli capabilities to destroy.

That end state and those objectives, Senator Kelly, are stunning in their sharpness.  Both the end state and objectives, thanks to the great skill and meticulous planning of those defending our nation, appear with high certainty to have been achieved. And again, the clarity in direction here from our President was blinding.

Our legacy media was no better, unveiling classified information breathlessly promoting a single intelligence report that said the nuclear sites were not destroyed, without mentioning a number of important details:

(1) the intelligence report illegally cited was an initial (preliminary) report and initial reports are almost always wrong, (2) the classified assessment was labeled “low confidence,” and perhaps the most misleading omission—(3) the extensive years of testing, simulation, and training that went into this one mission.

I can personally attest that this operation has been analyzed and discussed since at least my last tour in the Pentagon in 2004-05.

To our media—that is not reporting—that is spinning with an intent to diminish a huge American success and the President who ordered the mission. Yes, it is the media’s job to ask questions—but can’t you ask them without misleading your audience while doing so?

I would suggest a “healthy nation,” instead of having so many of its politicians (and media) ardently searching for anything to criticize, should at this point be celebrating!

Yes, celebrating our Air Force and their joint partners and their ability to accomplish an extremely complex mission!

Celebrating the success of having a very specific LIMITED end state and objectives spelled out and achieved!

Celebrating the amazing coordination between allies (Israel and the US)! (While not Israeli “allies,” the Gulf States contributions should be recognized here as well.)

Celebrating that–for the first time in decades–we don’t have to wake up with the threat of an Iranian nuke being developed in the next few weeks, months or years hanging over our heads!

Celebrating that, finally, we have American leadership that has stood up and delivered on promises that have been made over the last 30 years by the last six or so American presidents and until this weekend went unfulfilled!

Celebrating that the 1000+ American lives lost to Iranian terrorists over the last almost 50 years are finally being atoned!

Celebrating a cease fire (that appears to be holding) and hope at last that we might have taken some very important steps in achieving peace in the Middle East!

I could go on–but the naysayers entered, looking for that cloud. Instead, what we observed this last week was not a celebration—but a search for criticism and an unhealthy “politics on steroids.”

As we ready to celebrate America’s 249th birthday this week, our hope should be that we come together as our founding fathers envisioned—as one nation, one people.

If we can’t find a way to put politics aside at a time in history of great American accomplishment and leadership, I would suggest the chances of our Republic lasting another 249 years are slim!

A Heartfelt Ode to American Freedom from an Iranian Immigrant

/in , , , , , , /by

On this radiant Fourth of July, 2025, as I stand under the vast American sky, my heart swells with gratitude for the 249th anniversary of this nation’s independence. For someone like me, who left oppression in Iran decades ago, this day is more than a celebration of America’s birth. It’s also a personal testament to the promise of liberty, a beacon that called me to these shores. Yet, as I share this reflection, I invite every reader, whether born here or drawn here by hope, to feel the universal pulse of freedom that binds us all.

The Declaration of Independence, signed in 1776, is a sacred text to me. Its words, preserved in the National Archives, echo the dreams I carried when I left behind a land where dissent was silenced: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.” As a young exile, I clung to that promise, finding in America a place where my voice could finally breathe. The courage of Jefferson, Adams, and Franklin wasn’t just a historical act; it was a lifeline for someone like me, yearning for a home where ideas could flourish.

The Revolution that gave birth to this nation resonates deeply. I think of the soldiers at Valley Forge, shivering through winter, their resolve unyielding. Historian Gordon S. Wood calls the Revolution a radical redefinition of society, where ordinary people reshaped what it meant to be free. In my early days here, working late nights, I felt that same grit in the stories of immigrants and locals alike, each of us chasing a piece of that revolutionary dream. Freedom, I learned, is not a gift. Rather, it’s a fire kindled by sacrifice.

This Independence Day, I honor not only the founders but every person who has fought to fulfill America’s promise. From abolitionists fighting slavery to civil rights marchers, their struggles reflect my quiet battles to belong. I remember my first vote in America, my hand trembling as I marked the ballot, which was a right I never had in Iran. That moment, like this holiday, belongs to all who cherish the chance to shape their destiny.

America’s strength lies in its many differing voices. As someone who once felt like an outsider, I’ve found home in the laughter of neighbors at block parties and in the kindness of strangers who became friends. Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address rightly summed America up as an extraordinary nation “conceived in Liberty.”

This year, even as we face division and uncertainty, I see in Americans the same longing for liberty in a healthy society that brought me here. We are bound by our shared love for this land of second chances.

The fireworks tonight, which are an honored tradition first observed on July 4, 1777, are more than a spectacle; they’re a symbol of hope’s explosion. For me, each burst recalls the moment I stepped off a plane, heart racing, knowing I was free. That spark lives in every reader who has ever dreamed of a better tomorrow, whether escaping tyranny or simply seeking a fair shot.

But this day also reminds us that freedom comes with challenges. Unless people engage with our government by learning, voting, and volunteering, we will lose it. I think of the late-night conversations with my American-born children, teaching them to question, to vote, to care. We all share this duty, to nurture the liberty that unites us.

As I watch the stars and stripes wave today, I feel the weight of my journey from exile to citizen, but also the lightness of belonging. America is not perfect, but its beauty lies in its striving to be a shining light to the world. On this Independence Day, when we gather around barbecues, flags, and fireworks, let us recommit to a nation where every dream has room to grow. For me, for you, for all of us, this is our home, our hope, our freedom.

Happy Independence Day, America. May we forever hold high the torch of liberty, lighting the way for all who seek it.

Dems’ ‘Project 2029’ May Not Actually Bode Well For Party’s Future

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Some Democrats’ latest attempt to develop a winning political agenda to help the party retake the White House in 2028 could be destined for failure.

Former Arizona Democratic Party chair Andrei Cherny is assembling a group of well-connected party members to craft a ready-made agenda, dubbed “Project 2029,” to help serve the 2028 Democratic presidential nominee, the New York Times first reported on Monday. Though, several analysts told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the effort is unlikely to succeed in helping the party win back voters they lost in 2024.

Cherny told the NYT that former Vice President Kamala Harris lost her 2024 White House bid because she leaned into attacking President Donald Trump’s agenda instead of touting her own policies, telling the outlet that “the oldest truism in politics is you can’t beat something with nothing.” Cherny’s project — which some people have already panned on social media — draws similarities to the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, a policy outline and personnel list created to help serve the next GOP president, which Democrats had repeatedly used to attack Trump during the 2024 election cycle.

Cherny could not be reached for comment.

Adolph Mongo, a Democratic political commentator and former journalist, told the DCNF he thinks that Project 2025 is a “fantastic” idea, but likely not attainable.

“Project 2029 is a fantastic idea but unrealistic,” Mongo told the DCNF. “The Democratic Party is fractured. The far left has destroyed the party. Look at New York [City], a socialist Democrat might become mayor. In Detroit, a long time Democratic mayor left the party. Democrats across the country are quitting the party and turning Republican. Their once loyal base is black and brown voters, [who] have abandoned the party.”

Moreover, when asked if he thinks the Democratic Party will be able to successfully persuade voters to embrace their ideas through efforts such as Project 2029, Mongo replied “no.”

“For the last 50 years Democrats have made promises and not were able to deliver them,” Mongo told the DCNF. “Democratic run cities have been left out in the cold. Look at the crime and unemployment in our urban area.”

“The Democrats’ problem is several-fold,” Tom Basile, a Daily Caller contributor and host of Newsmax’s “America Right Now,” told the DCNF. “They don’t have credible messengers to even attempt to convince Americans that the party is capable of governing for the vast majority of Americans. The highest profile members of the Democratic Party are [Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez] AOC, [Independent Vermont Sen.] Bernie Sanders, and now [Democratic New York Assemblyman] Zohran Mamdani – all socialists. Socialism is not compatible with American life and most Americans know that.”

Sanders, the runner-up for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016 and 2020, is not a registered Democrat, but still caucuses with the party in the Senate.

Mamdani on June 2024 notched a surprise win in the New York City Democratic mayoral primary election. Some analysts previously told the DCNF that the socialist’s mayoral primary victory may push the Democratic Party to lean into more far-left policies in future elections.

In the wake of the 2024 election cycle, the Democratic Party has been attempting to strengthen their messaging, amid some party leaders claiming the party brand has become too “woke.” Democrats are also facing various polls showing Americans are largely unimpressed with their leadership.

Additionally, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) is reportedly grappling with rampant intraparty tensions and a drop in major donations this year.

“Delivering a message doesn’t only require a credible messenger, but also money and the DNC is flat broke at this point,” Basile told the DCNF. “Additionally, because this flirtation with socialist policies is now a pattern over several election cycles, any claims on the part of Democrats that they are ready to moderate will be met with tremendous skepticism on the part of the public. This week, every Democrat in the U.S. Senate voted for the largest tax hike in American history.”

Some prominent Democratic leaders have recently been growing their national profiles amid speculation that they are sizing up runs for the White House in 2028. Though, some political strategists previously told the DCNF they are skeptical that several of the prospective 2028 Democratic presidential candidates will be able to reunify the party.

“For nearly a decade, Democrats have said loud and clear to the American people that they care far more about transgenderism, militant censorship, boys playing in girls sports and open borders than making Americans more financially secure,” Basile told the DCNF. “The party has become anti-Democratic and intolerant while doubling down on an extreme fidelity to government programing that has proven to be a failure. The Biden-Sanders Unity platform, from the 2020 campaign and the gaslighting over the border from last year are both prime examples of what looks like an entrenched, radical agenda. That’s clearly not where the nation is ideologically.”

“Donald Trump is the blue-collar billionaire who is speaking directly to the needs of the working men and women of this country and the middle class,” Basile added. “His program of reform and realignment of power away from government systems to the empowerment of people has stolen core issues from the Democrat [Democratic] Party who have fallen back on radical social agendas to motivate voters. In that fight, the Republicans win regardless of what some document concocted by the DNC says.”

What’s Left for The Doomers and Gloomers?

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Democrats have been having a tough couple of weeks, as Donald Trump goes from success to success.

From ending Iran’s nuclear weapons program to multiple victories at the Supreme Court, great economic reports, and a rip-roaring stock market, Trump just capped a two-week victory streak by signing the Big Beautiful Bill into law, as promised, on July 4.

It was a deadline many members of his own party feared they would not be able to make just a few weeks ago. And yet, here we are.

As the New York Post headlined it, “Tired of Winning yet?”

But one victory continues to elude the president – ending the war in Ukraine — and he made it clear he finds it frustrating.

After an hour-long phone call with Putin yesterday, Trump reported that he had made “no progress” on getting the Russian president to agree to a ceasefire.

Instead, Putin just hammered away at his talking points and told Trump he remained committed to achieving his goals in the “special military operation,” which means annexing roughly one-third of the country, including parts of it that Russian troops have not yet conquered!

To underscore his determination, Putin unleashed a barrage of drones, ballistic and cruise missiles on Kiev and other population centers overnight that Zelenskyy said was one of the most intense of the entire war.

It’s hard to keep these two hellhounds from killing each other, even with the best of intentions.

In the world according to Trump, wars are to be ended by decisive action and deal-making. But when one of the belligerents is a nuclear-armed super-power and the other has vast international backing, the United States has little leverage.

If Trump really wants to end the war, he will need to put the type of pressure on Putin he talked about during the campaign — ending Russian oil sales, and cutting Russia off definitely from the international financial system.

But Trump also knows that such measures could backfire, forcing Russia into an even tighter alliance with Communist China, for example, or encouraging Russia, China, Iran, and others to adopt a new gold-backed currency.

Having turned the Iranian regime’s nuclear aspirations into so much railway ballast, the president appears to have washed his hands of Iran. Unlike many of his predecessors, this president has no appetite for regime change. So the Iranian people are on their own.

There were reports this week that after declaring a victory of historic proportions against Israel and the United States, Ayatollah Khamenei has unleashed his thugs to examine the cellphones of ordinary citizens on the streets.

If they find anti-regime propaganda — or even just mockery — they whisk the culprit away, never to be seen again. Many Iranians have now taken to leaving their cellphones behind when they leave home. Now there’s progress for you!

I discuss all of this on this week’s Prophecy Today Weekend. As always, you can listen live at 1 PM on Saturday on 104.9 FM or 550 AM in the Jacksonville, Florida, area, or by using the Jacksonville Way Radio app.

Happy 4th of July! I will be celebrating at my small piece of liberated territory in the south of France.

Yours in freedom.

This 7% of the Earth’s Surface Burns More Fossel Fuel Than Anywhere Else

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

This article rightfully points out that the main polluters of environment in the world only occupy 7% of world’s surface yet contain more than 50% of world population as follows:

Draw a circle with a 2,485-mile radius around the southern Chinese city of Yuxi. British geographer Alasdair Rae did just that — and inside it resides 55% of the world’s population: some 4.3 billion people crammed into just 7% of Earth’s surface. The region includes China, India, much of Southeast Asia, and parts of Pakistan. Some of it — like the Tibetan Plateau and the Taklamakan Desert — is barren. But the rest is packed with cities, factories, and the aspirations of hundreds of millions clawing their way toward modern life.

Critics keep forecasting a shift away from fossil fuels. Reality keeps proving them wrong.

Hundreds of millions in the Yuxi Circle are still striving for what Westerners call a “decent life.” That means refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioning — and with them, a dramatic spike in electricity demand.

And this means coal and/or oil must be used to generate the electricity needed in these countries. Yet the leftist Climate Change pushers such as those who participate in the Paris Agreement demand the US pay for this use of fossil fuels by others. Fortunately POTUS Trump has withdrawn us from this idiocy. It is absurd that under Obama 1, 2, 3 (Biden) that “climate change” was considered the #1 threat to our national security by their woke DOD.

This 7% of Earth’s surface burns more fuel than anywhere

The Yuxi Circle holds 4.3 billion people and no illusions about how modern life works. Fossil fuels still power the path out of poverty.

The ruling class trades in carbon outrage like it’s gold. Sanctimony fuels its crusade against oil, gas, and coal — never mind that those very fuels built the modern world. The comforts we take for granted — from longer lives and stocked shelves to clean water and lifesaving medicine — all trace back to the energy abundance that hydrocarbons made possible.

Still, the decarbonization faithful press forward. They dream of a carbon-free Eden, even as the global power grid, still humming on fossil fuels, refuses to cooperate.

Critics keep forecasting a shift away from fossil fuels. Reality keeps proving them wrong.

You won’t find a clearer contradiction than in the Yuxi Circle.

Draw a circle with a 2,485-mile radius around the southern Chinese city of Yuxi. British geographer Alasdair Rae did just that — and inside it resides 55% of the world’s population: some 4.3 billion people crammed into just 7% of Earth’s surface. The region includes China, India, much of Southeast Asia, and parts of Pakistan. Some of it — like the Tibetan Plateau and the Taklamakan Desert — is barren. But the rest is packed with cities, factories, and the aspirations of hundreds of millions clawing their way toward modern life.

Why does this matter? Because this region now anchors the world’s biggest fight over energy, growth, and climate policy.

While bureaucrats in Brussels sip espresso and activists glue themselves to the pavement in London, the real action plays out in Asia’s economic engine. In cities like Shanghai, Delhi, and Tokyo, energy demand soars — and fossil fuels do the heavy lifting. Coal and gas plants keep the lights on, while wind and solar trail far behind.

China burns more coal than the rest of the world combined. India burns more than the United States, the European Union, and the United Kingdom combined. The 10 ASEAN countries rank third. Oil use tells the same story: China and India sit alongside the U.S. atop the global leaderboard of consumption. Economic growth, it turns out, runs not on hashtags but on hydrocarbons.

Critics keep forecasting a shift away from fossil fuels. Reality keeps proving them wrong.

Hundreds of millions in the Yuxi Circle are still striving for what Westerners call a “decent life.” That means refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioning — and with them, a dramatic spike in electricity demand.

House Passes BBB as Conservatives Win ‘Significant Commitments’ on Life, Transgenderism

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Congress has delivered President Donald Trump’s signature legislation, the One Big Beautiful Bill, but not without hours of mean-spirited Democratic delay and principled conservative negotiations that secured “major” commitments of executive action and future legislation to promote the pro-life, pro-family cause.

The House of Representatives passed President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1) by a 218-214 vote on Thursday afternoon. All House Democrats voted no, joined by two Republicans: Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) and Thomas Massie (R-Ky.). Massie, a libertarian-leaning Republican, opposes the bill’s high deficit and spending levels, while Fitzpatrick accused the White House of “withholding critical defense material” from Ukraine.

The bill narrowly passed the Senate Tuesday, when Vice President J.D. Vance cast the tie-breaking vote. Senators Susan Collins (R-Maine), Rand Paul (R-Ky.), and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) voted against the bill. It now goes to President Trump’s desk.

Democrats in both chambers tried, and failed, to prevent the bill from passing Congress by President Trump’s July 4 deadline. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) forced the Senate to read the full text of the 940-page bill aloud, which lasted nearly 16 hours. Schumer also poked at the president with a procedural motion to strip the act of its formal title, “The One Big Beautiful Bill Act.” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) stalled proceedings further on Thursday morning with an eight-hour, 44-minute-long filibuster that began at 4:53 a.m. Jeffries all-but admitted he aimed to slow the bill’s passage as a procedural irritant, saying numerous times throughout his speech, “I am going to take my sweet time,” followed by a sustained standing ovation from the small gaggle of Democratic hangers-on who stayed to listen.

“It takes a lot longer to build a lie than to tell the simple truth,” replied House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) in a brief rejoinder to Jeffries’s record-breaking speech. “Scripture has been cited a lot this morning — I think mostly out of context.”

“Today was about performance for some of them,” said Johnson. “Democrats deliver performances, and Republicans deliver results.”

The narrow passage reflected the concern of pro-life conservatives, who withheld their support until obtaining promises from GOP leaders to address the pro-life, pro-family provisions stripped out by the Senate.

As fiscal conservatives, border security conservatives, and national security hawks celebrated the passage of President Donald Trump’s signature One Big Beautiful Bill, pro-life and pro-family leaders wonder aloud why their concerns got eliminated or minimized by the legislation. Family Research Council President Tony Perkins said the debate’s primary focus on taxes “reminds me of Bill Clinton back in his 1992 campaign: ‘It’s the economy, Stupid.’ It’s not the economy; it is the moral foundation of a nation that matters.” Some conservatives went as far as to call the watered-down Senate version of the bill “morally bankrupt.”

The revised Senate version of the bill “does not defund transgender surgery for minors. That is a moral issue. It only cuts funding for abortion services for one year, not the 10 in the House bill. That’s morally bankrupt,” Rep. Keith Self (R-Texas) told “Washington Watch with Tony Perkins” Wednesday night.

While many pro-life advocates — including SBA Pro-Life America and Americans United for Life — called the bill’s one-year defunding of Planned Parenthood a step forward, some former insiders say the deep-pocketed abortion industry has the resources to wait it out. “While any taxpayer money diverted away from Planned Parenthood is a good thing, defunding our nation’s largest abortion provider for just one year is not the win many of us who believe abortion is abhorrent wanted it to be,” said former Planned Parenthood director and founder of And Then There Were None, Abby Johnson, in a statement emailed to The Washington Stand. “A year is enough time for many Planned Parenthood facilities to hold out to be re-funded. Some will close, but Planned Parenthood as an organization has millions of dollars, wealthy donors, and could support those clinics if they choose.”

Planned Parenthood, which received $792.2 million in taxpayer funding in 2024, reported total net assets of $2.52 billion. “Bottom line: it’s not enough and Republicans should permanently defund the abortion giant, not just for a paltry 12 months,” said Johnson.

“A one-year defunding of Planned Parenthood is no victory; it’s a disheartening concession,” Katie Brown Xavios, national director of American Life League, told TWS. “To receive only a token punishment for those who harm women and kill the innocent is unacceptable.”

Quena González, senior director of Government Affairs at Family Research Council, called the one-year interruption “just a very short pause on defunding” on Wednesday, noting that under the revised bill, “taxpayers will still be forced to underwrite experimental gender transition procedures.”

Family Research Council backed the House version of the bill and reserved the right to score against the Senate version. Ultimately, it reconsidered after House conservatives wrung several promises out of the Trump administration and Hill leadership.

“Last night, we facilitated negotiations and conservations on key policy issues that had been removed or modified from the House version,” announced FRC President Tony Perkins on Thursday morning. “[W]e believe we will see policy outcomes that offset the changes made by the Senate.”

House Conservatives: ‘We Gained, America Gained’

Leaders of the House Freedom Caucus quickly confirmed they had obtained promises for future executive action and legislation to defund abortion and transgender procedures, as well as other policy priorities. “We got significant commitments on spending reductions outside the framework of the bill,” Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.) told “This Week on Capitol Hill.” “We said, ‘Let’s talk about some offsets elsewhere. Let’s talk about some things the executive can do to mitigate some of the concerns about what the Senate did with our House bill,’” Harris told Perkins.

“We got a major commitment, a serious commitment on spending reduction,” as well as “a large commitment on social issues. We got an agreement that the administration will add adults to their transgender funding limitation. And we’re going to have a discussion with the administration on the egregious, cross-state trafficking in mifepristone,” he said. “We talked about looking at program integrity in food stamps and in Medicaid,” where improper payments and fraud cost “tens of billions of dollars a year.” And “on the Green New Deal/Green New Scam provisions, the administration has a pretty fair leeway to interpret some of the Senate changes” to provisions of the Biden administration’s so-called Inflation Reduction Act.

Harris also revealed the House Freedom Caucus extracted a promise from the speaker of the House to address the nation’s ever-expanding national debt. “The speaker has agreed to have another vote on a Balanced Budget Amendment, because the last one we had was in November of 2011, trillions of dollars of deficits ago,” he said.

The House Freedom Caucus left the negotiations satisfied. “Everything we did was perfectly in line with the president’s agenda. So he went along with it,” said Harris. “We gained, America gained.”

In a statement sent to The Washington Stand shortly after the vote, Rep. Self confirmed the House Freedom Caucus “moved the bill dramatically to the right on almost every front and at every stage of the process, including overnight, as a small group of us continued working with the White House to address critical policy and spending issues.”

The bill threatened to further divide the Republican Party, as many Republicans reluctantly embraced the bill as the best alternative capable of passing Congress. “People with the same principles, looking at the same facts can actually apply and analyze those facts a little bit differently and reach a little bit different conclusion,” Rep. Nathaniel Moran (R-Texas) told “Washington Watch” later on Wednesday. “This is not the end-all, be-all decision for every moral matter that we have to deal with in Congress. This is, at its core, a bill about taxes and liberty.”

Social conservatives have long seen taxes and defense spending prioritized, while promises of pro-life or pro-family action do not come to fruition. However, President Trump has repeatedly said he will govern by the motto, “Promises made, promises kept.”

In part, social conservatives in the Trump administration may be wary of submitting legislation for fear liberal Republicans will exercise their collective muscle in negotiations. Harris noted the Trump administration “didn’t want to have to send this bill back to the Senate,” where senators such as abortion-supporting Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) could assure the bill “would actually get worse.”

What Is in the One Big Beautiful Bill?

As The Washington Stand reported, the surviving provisions largely carry out President Trump’s legislative agenda:

  1. The revised bill increases the child tax credit to $2,200, indexed for inflation, down from $2,500 in the House bill. Without action, the child tax credit would have returned its pre-Trump level of $1,000.
  2. The bill creates “TRUMP” savings accounts for children, indexed to the stock market like a 401(k), with a $1,000 deposit from U.S. taxpayers upon the birth of each child. The bill also furthers school choice by expanding educational savings accounts.
  3. The bill makes permanent tax advantages from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including expanded personal exemptions and incentives for business research and development. “For working families, The One, Big, Beautiful Bill prevents a looming $1,700 tax hike and instead puts more money in Americans’ pockets — including upwards of $1,300 for tipped workers and $1,400 for hourly workers working overtime. Families will see a nearly $11,000 boost in take-home pay,” House Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (R-Mo.) told TWS. “Households making under $100,000 will see a 12% tax cut compared to what they pay today. The average family of four will see nearly $11,000 more in their pockets each year. Real wages for workers will rise by as much as $7,200 a year,” Smith added on the House floor. The final bill gives qualifying senior citizens a $6,000 deduction, which the White House Council of Economic Advisers estimates will assure that 88% of seniors on Social Security have no federal income tax liability. It eliminates federal income taxes on tips up to the first $25,000, phasing out for those who earn $150,000 a year (or couples making $300,000). Taxpayers may also deduct up to $12,500 of overtime pay under the same condition; it lapses in 2028. The bill also lets people who buy cars made in America write off up to $10,000 in interest on the car’s loan.
  4. Enhancing border security. “This bill gives President Trump the tools he needs to finish securing the border by providing $175 billion in new funding. It will allow for completion of the border wall, fund ICE deportation efforts, and hire and train new border patrol agents,” agreed Rep. Mark Harris (R-N.C.) in a statement sent to TWS. It also taxes remittances to foreign countries. “It secures our border, funds the largest mass deportation operation in American history, and delivers the tax relief working families deserve,” Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas) told TWS.
  5. Securing national defense. The bill increases defense spending by roughly $160 billion, including $25 billion for a domestic “Iron Dome” missile defense system.
  6. Student loan reform. The bill imposes a $257,500 lifetime cap on student loan borrowing and reduces provisions that allow borrowers to delay paying back their students loans.
  7. Underwriting high-tax states and cities. The Senate version of the bill increases the state and local tax (SALT) deduction to $40,000 for the next five years.
  8. Slowing our exit from the Green New Deal. The Senate bill ends tax credits or subsidies for green energy projects, such as wind and solar power favored by the Biden administration, for projects constructed within a year of the bill’s passage and that go into service by the end of 2027. But the latest bill removed a proposed excise tax on companies in those industries that use more than a specified amount of components (such as solar panels or batteries) made in China. The Senate version generally slows down the GOP’s efforts to phase out the Left’s cherished credits.
  9. Slowing SNAP reform. The Senate bill delayed reforms to the much-abused Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, program in certain states.
  10. Reforming Medicaid. Medicaid recipients capable of work and who do not have a child at home must spend 80 hours a month in paid work, community service, or schooling/vocational training. The work requirements would save taxpayers an estimated $325 billion over the next 10 years. The bill also reduces the Medicaid provider tax from 6% to 3.5% starting in the 2028 fiscal year.

Despite some well-received economic news, conservatives say the bill still spends too much money and raises the debt ceiling to $5 trillion.

Rep. Mark Harris warned, “if Washington’s overspending addiction continues, the opportunity to put our country back on a path to a sound financial future is in jeopardy. In the coming months, Republicans must use every tool at our disposal to rein in government spending. This is not the end of our work.” (Emphasis in original.) Still, he said, “The country is much better off today than it was a few days ago. There’s certainty in the average working man and woman’s pocketbook that they’re not going to get a tax increase next year” — and greater faith “that the president is watching out for them.”

Nonetheless, Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) promised TWS that conservatives would not rest long before collecting the policy commitments they earned in exchange for supporting the amended legislation.

“Celebrate today,” said Roy. “Fight again tomorrow.”
