Trump Effect: Gas Prices PLUMMET Below $3 in 31 States — A Stark Contrast to Biden’s $5/Gallon Disaster

After years of economic pain at the pump under Joe Biden, Americans are finally seeing some relief as gas prices continue to decline under President Donald Trump’s second term.

On Thursday, the national average price for a gallon of regular gas sat at $3.07, according to AAA, significantly lower than what drivers were forced to pay during Biden’s disastrous tenure.

It’s a stark contrast to the Biden years when the cost of fuel soared to over $5 per gallon, an all-time high, thanks to reckless policies, overregulation, and a war on American energy.

Under Trump, who prioritized energy independence in his first term, Americans saw an average gas price of just $2.47 per gallon between 2017 and 2021. But as soon as Biden stepped into the Oval Office, that all changed.

Immigration Detention Facilities At Maximum Capacity: ICE Official

U.S. immigration detention facilities have reached capacity at about 47,600 beds, a top-level U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official said on March 12 in a call with reporters.

The federal government is now seeking more bed space for detained illegal immigrants, added the official, who requested anonymity as a condition of the call.

ICE is now expanding its capacity with support from the Department of Defense, the U.S. Marshals Service, and the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

Currently, ICE has funding to support an average bed space of more than 41,500 detainees, the official said, adding that ICE is working with lawmakers to obtain more funding to increase capacity.

Throughout the 2024 campaign and after taking office, President Donald Trump vowed that there would be a mass deportation of illegal immigrants. Trump said that such a move is needed after the high volume of illegal immigration under the previous administration.

Trump issued executive orders targeting illegal immigration and bolstering security along the U.S.–Mexico border. He has directed ICE agents to step up enforcement actions across major U.S. cities, with top officials including border czar Tom Homan saying they are targeting illegal immigrants with criminal histories or who are a threat to public safety.

Orders and directives that the administration has carried out include declaring a national emergency along the southern U.S. border, halting some refugee admissions, ending the previous “catch and release” policy, requiring people who are seeking asylum in the United States to remain in Mexico while waiting for court hearings, limiting the temporary protected status of people from certain countries, declining to recognize birthright citizenship, and other measures.

The number of encounters with illegal immigrants at the southern border has dropped significantly since Trump took office in January, according to recent data.

Multiple lawsuits have been filed to challenge Trump’s order ending birthright citizenship, and several judges have blocked the order. On March 11, the First Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a federal district court’s block of the order and denied a motion from the Department of Justice’s legal team to immediately overturn the district court’s ruling.

Another directive that has been challenged in court is Trump’s decision to send some illegal immigrants to the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. Earlier this month, the American Civil Liberties Union filed a suit to block transfers to the base, which had been used to house terrorism suspects following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

HERO: Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Ends FDA Loophole Allowing Big Food to Sneak Harmful Chemicals Into U.S. Food Supply

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., now serving as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services under President Trump, has announced a bold initiative to eliminate harmful chemicals from America’s food supply.

Kennedy’s announcement, made via an X post and an accompanying video, exposed the catastrophic failures of the FDA’s so-called Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) designation.

Originally intended to apply to simple ingredients like salt and baking soda, GRAS has been hijacked by corporate interests to sneak in potentially dangerous chemicals—no testing, no oversight, and no accountability.

“I am directing the FDA commissioner to start the process of changing the rules to eliminate the self-affirmed GRAS pathway for new ingredients,” said RFK Jr.

“I am also calling on the US FDA and NIH to continue to conduct and improve post-market assessments of GRAS chemicals currently in our food so we can rapidly identify the compounds that are making Americans so sick and so that American consumers and regulators can make informed decisions. This is an important step in our pursuit to Make America Healthy Again.”

In a video statement accompanying his post, Kennedy exposed how unelected bureaucrats and corporate interests have been playing fast and loose with public health, prioritizing profits over American well-being.

Kennedy laid out a shocking reality: 10,000 chemicals are currently lurking in the U.S. food supply, while Europe has banned all but 400.

Instead of requiring proof of safety before approving new food additives, the United States allows corporations to rubber-stamp their own chemicals as “safe”—no independent review necessary.

Is Ashley Biden In Hot Water With IRS Over $250K Unreported Donation From Meghan Markle and Prince Harry During Her Dad’s Presidency?

In the final days of his Auto-pen presidency, Joe Biden sparked outrage among Americans by pardoning his son Hunter, his siblings and their spouses for any past or future crimes. He issued a statement explaining his controversial actions, “The issuance of these pardons should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that they engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offense.”

Unfortunately, Joe Biden forgot to pardon his and Jill’s only child, Ashley, who famously outed him in her now famous diary as the father she remembers taking “probably not appropriate showers with her at a young age. In her diary, which has now been confirmed to be authentic by Ashley herself in a court document, she wrote about being “Hyper-sexualized at a young age.” In her diary she asked the question, “Was I molested?” to which she responded, “I think so,” adding, “I can’t remember the specifics but  I do remember trauma- I remember having sex with friends a young age; showers w/ my dad (probably not appropriate)

The Daily Mail has revealed a considerable discovery about a quarter-million dollar donation from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to Ashley Biden’s non-profit while her dad was “President” in 2023.

This new revelation raises many questions that need to be answered, starting with why Joe Biden didn’t offer his daughter a pardon.

– Did Joe not offer his daughter, who exposed him in her diary, a pardon on purpose?

– Why did the highly popular B-actress and her woke husband, who have both fallen out of favor with the Royal Family, give the former president’s daughter’s “non-profit” their largest donation of the year?

– Was Ashley selling access to her dad like her older brother, Hunter did for several years, or was it simply an innocent accounting mistake?

According to the Daily Mail – Ashley Biden’s nonprofit is facing an official IRS complaint after failing to publicly disclose its $250,000 donation from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

FBI Investigating “Alarming Rise In ‘Swatting’ Incidents” Targeting Conservative Influencers

FBI Director Kash Patel on Friday responded to a string of ‘swatting’ incidents targeting conservative media figures in recent days, which came on the heels of the Monday morning murder of InfoWars reporter Jamie White.

Multiple conservative content creators, including InfoWars host Chase Geiser, Nick Sotor, Gunther Eagleman, ‘Catturd,’ and Trump impersonator Shawn Farash, have been targeted in swatting incidents, which typically entail fake or prank phone calls to emergency services that trigger an armed response from police officers to a particular address.

“I want to address the alarming rise in ‘swatting’ incidents targeting media figures. The FBI is aware of this dangerous trend, and my team and I are already taking action to investigate and hold those responsible accountable,” Patel wrote on X Friday morning.

On Wednesday, Geiser posted on X that he was “was just swatted again moments ago, just before 2AM,” and that police officers “used a PA system to call me by name and order me to walk out of my house.”

Geiser was swatted twice within a twelve hour period, the first time Tuesday afternoon and again early Wednesday morning just before 2AM. He described the first incident on the Alex Jones Show, noting that he and his family weren’t at home when the police showed up at his house. Geiser said when he met the police in his driveway, they were still receiving  311 messages about his property. “So there was a campaign of swatting my property,” he told Jones.

After the second incident, the Info Wars reporter posted on X that “6 to 8 police officers used a PA system to call me by name and order me to walk out of my house.”

I was handcuffed in the middle of the street, presumably at gunpoint though I couldn’t tell because of the light being shined on my face.

I was then led into the house where my wife was woken up and we were informed that they received a call from someone pretending to be me and threatening to kill my family. –American Greatness

EYES ON SERBIA: Opposition Politicians and Students are Plotting Secret Coup and CIVIL WAR – With Likely Outside Assistance – Starting with Saturday’s Protest – PLANNING SESSIONS CAUGHT ON AUDIO

Last May, lawmakers in Serbia elected a new government with several pro-Russian ministers.

Two of the current regime’s ministers are pro-Russian and were sanctioned by the Biden regime. President Aleksandar Vučić refused to join Western sanctions against Russia while allowing Moscow propaganda outlets such as RT and Sputnik to spread their narrative throughout the Balkans.

The current Serbian government is not a member of the EU but has requested a formal bid to join the Union.

Of course, the tyrants and globalists running the EU will not stand for such irreverent treatment from a future member state.

So what does the EU and Washington do when a smaller, weaker, and independent country gets out of line? They run a coup and eliminate the current regime, of course.

The US has plenty of experience overthrowing and replacing regimes with more compliant leaders.

This Saturday – just hours from now – protests are planned in Serbia against the sitting, democratically elected government. The protesters do not approve of the current leadership’s positions especially its standing on the Ukraine-Russia War.

Serbian News B92.net broke an explosive report on the planned protests tomorrow in Belgrade, Serbia.

B92.net is reporting the opposition politicians and students are plotting a secret coup that may erupt into civil war!

The Serbian news outlet B92.net posted exclusive photos of the opposition protesters as they plot their coup against the current independent regime.

NPR Complains Trump Budget Cuts Hurt a Kansas College, Turns Out It’s a “Dropout Factory” with a Prior 9% Graduation Rate

It should come as no surprise that National Public Radio has been propagandizing its aging leftist listeners against the Trump budget cuts, highlighting supposed abuses.

One such recent example is a profile of the Women’s Basketball team at Haskell University, a small college for Native Americans in Kansas. The coverage of the controversy complains about an alleged quarter of its staff who are laid off because they are probationary employees of the federal government.

NPR’s coverage of the University highlights its positives, but omits key details and context that would give its readers a better perspective on why these cuts might be in the best interests of taxpayers and even the students involved.

A lawsuit has been filed to force Trump to fund the Indian college. The federal government funds the college as part of an 1884 Indian treaty.

The case is styled as Pueblo of Isleta et. al v. Secretary of the Department of the Interior, et. al, case number 1:25-cv-00696-AHA  . The student plaintiffs are Ella Bowen, Kaiya Brown, Danielle Ledesma, Victor Organista, and Aiyanna Tanyan. Their attorney is Matthew Lee Campbell of the Native American Rights Fund, out of Boulder, Colorado. Two other attorneys have applied to enter the case Pro Hac Vice: Jacqueline De Leon and Malia Gesuale. The case has been assigned to federal Judge Amir Ali, a 2024 Biden appointee.

The complaint primarily concerns the fact that the various Indian tribes were not consulted prior to the budget cuts.

NPR makes it seem like this is another step in the trail of tears for America’s native population.

“That it would be affected by these executive actions and cuts in budgets, you know, add it to the list of broken promises,” said Bo Schneider, a member of the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes, to National Public Radio.

The 54 page, 8 count legal complaint, which includes four students as plaintiffs, complains that they aren’t able to make progress towards their degrees.

However, public records and data suggest that few were likely to ever graduate, because the college has such an awful academic record that 9-30% of the students are likely to graduate.

Rutte Confirms NATO Membership For Ukraine Off The Table, Hints At Future Normalization With Russia

In fresh comments NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte confirmed that NATO membership for Ukraine is off the table when it comes to negotiations with Russia to end the war.

Rutte in an interview Friday was asked by Bloomberg TV’s Annemarie Gordern if Trump has definitely removed the issue of Ukraine’s accession to NATO from the negotiating table. Rutte answered “yes” and nodded in the affirmative when pressed.

The issue of NATO constantly expanding right up to Russia’s borders, which especially ramped up in the mid-2000s during the Bush era, has been consistently identified by President Putin as a key motive in his ordering hundreds of thousands of Russian troops into Ukraine in February of 2022.

Russia sees this as a continuation of a war in Donbass that was already burning since 2014, which saw CIA and Western intelligence assist Kiev in seeking to push back Russian influence. But the reality has always been that natives on the Donbass are overwhelmingly Russian-speaking and pro-Moscow.

Rutte’s predecessor Jens Stoltenberg made a bombshell admission in a televised 2023 speech stating that the bloc’s refusal to stop expanding east as a key reason for why the Ukraine war started.

“President Putin declared in the autumn of 2021, and actually sent a draft treaty that they wanted NATO to sign, to promise no more NATO enlargement,” Stoltenberg said at the time. “That was what he sent us. And [that] was a precondition for not invade [sic] Ukraine. Of course we didn’t sign that.”

Previous to those words, this was considered a ‘pro-Kremlin talking point’. NATO chief Stoltenberg had even emphasized in the remarks that Putin “went to war to prevent NATO, more NATO, close to his borders.”

But apparently no lessons have been learned, and mainstream Western media has still by and large failed to feature the Stoltenberg admission as part of the narrative on the build-up to war.

As for Rutte, he explained in the new Friday Bloomberg TV interview Europe could normalize ties with Russia when the war is over. “It’s normal if the war would have stopped for Europe somehow, step by step, and also for the US, step by step, to restore normal relations with Russia,” he stated.

Rep. Biggs Seeks FBI Probe Of Democrat Fundraising Platform ‘ActBlue’ Over Foreign Influence, Fraud Claims

GOP Arizona Representative Andy Biggs sent a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel requesting that the FBI investigate ActBlue, the top fundraising arm of the Democrat Party.

In his letter, Biggs (R-Ariz) highlighted how the Treasury Department discovered “hundreds of suspicious transactions with ActBlue, reported by banks” under former Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration.

“In 2024, President Biden’s Treasury Department found hundreds of suspicious transactions with ActBlue reported by banks,” Biggs wrote on Thursday, noting that the platform has been able to raise over “$16 billion for progressive causes since 2004. However, it appears the platform has been used to skirt the integrity of federal campaign finance laws.”

Reality Check: Towns And States Don’t Want Green Energy

Trump Administration actions to scale back renewable energy capture headlines, but citizens are also pushing back. Efforts to deploy wind and solar systems face a rising tide of opposition in towns, counties, and states. Mandates for electric vehicles and electric home appliances are being challenged. The combination of rising local opposition and Trump funding cuts threatens to end the transition to green energy.

The green energy revolution in the United States has run almost unopposed for the last two decades. Driven by the fear of human-caused global warming, federal regulators enacted an expanding array of incentives for renewables in the form of mandates, tax credits, loans, and subsidies. States added incentives to push for the adoption of wind, solar, electric vehicles, heat pumps, green hydrogen, and carbon dioxide (CO2) capture systems.

Twenty-three states have laws or executive orders requiring Net Zero electricity by 2050. Power companies have been forced to comply with state mandates. Since 2000, wind and solar have grown from near zero to about 16% of US power generation in 2024, wind (10.5%) and solar (5.1%).

Twenty-two states have electric vehicle (EV) mandates, requiring all sales of new cars to be EVs by a future date, such as 2035. Tightening CO2 emission standards from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) force manufacturers to sell an increasing share of EVs. Plug-in EV sales grew from zero two decades ago to 8% last year.

Climate policy advocates want homeowners to switch from natural gas and propane appliances to heat pumps and other electric appliances. In 2019, Berkeley, California became the first city to prohibit natural gas in new residential construction. Cities and counties in seven states now ban gas in new construction, including a statewide ban in New York.

The wave of renewable energy programs promoted and subsidized included electric vehicle charging stations, CO2 pipelines, and green hydrogen production facilities. But it’s becoming clear that many towns, counties, and states no longer support the green energy movement. A rising tide of opposition threatens the deployment of renewables.

Last month, the State House of Arizona passed legislation that would prohibit construction of wind systems on more than 90% of state land. The legislation would force new wind projects to be at least 12 miles from any residential property. The bill is being considered in the Arizona Senate.

Oklahoma is the third largest generator of electricity from wind in the US. But attendees at recent rallies at the state capitol call for bans on new wind and solar projects. Local residents voice economic, environmental, and health concerns about renewable systems.
