This New Tax Could Stop Illegal Immigration And Keep Money From Cartels

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Each year, migrants send tens of billions of dollars out of the United States — often landing in cartel coffers.

That may be good for migrants and drug lords, but it’s bad for the American economy. That’s why Congress is considering a new tax on money flowing out of the country. Advocates say the tax would penalize illegal immigration, impose new costs on criminal networks, and increase government revenue, all without impacting Americans’ wallets.

Remittance outflows from the United States — when migrants send money back to their countries of origin — have steadily increased in recent years. Data from the Migration Policy Institute reveal that just over $66 billion was sent out of the American economy in 2020. That number climbed to $73.7 billion in 2021 and $81.6 billion in 2022. By 2023, remittance outflows hit nearly $86 billion.

Now, a five percent remittance tax, which is included in President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” could penalize illegal immigration, punish cartels, and create a new revenue stream for the American government.

Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) Media Director Ira Mehlman told The Daily Wire that a tax on remittances would recoup some of the money that is, in effect, exported out of the American economy.

Biden Didn’t Recognize This Megastar — and Huge Supporter — in Shocking Memory Lapse That Left Celeb ‘Shaken to His Core’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A rapidly aging Joe Biden couldn’t even recognize George Clooney at a Democratic fundraiser in Los Angeles during the 2024 campaign — leaving the Hollywood star “shaken to his core,” a bombshell new book claims.

The troubling incident, which unfolded at a June 13, 2024, star-studded fundraiser co-hosted by Clooney, was laid bare in the forthcoming book “Original Sin” by Alex Thompson and Jake Tapper, which chronicles the attempt to cover up Biden’s decline while in office.

“It was obvious to many standing there that the president did not know who George Clooney was,” the authors wrote, according to an excerpt obtained by The Post.

“Clooney was shaken to his core. The president hadn’t recognized him. A man he had known for years.”

The book detailed how a “severely diminished” Biden, then 81 years old, had hobbled into the event with an aide guiding him by the arm — with the president repeatedly thanking guests as he walked by.

Inside Jeffrey Epstein’s Infamous Island: Shocking Footage Revealed

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A video released by O’Keefe Media Group has disclosed images inside convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s residence on his private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The defendant, previously convicted of sex crimes, was in jail in New York awaiting further court action on new allegations when he purportedly committed suicide.

The video comes from OMG and reveals “the first on-site images from within the now-infamous compound since his arrest in 2019 and subsequent death.”

James O’Keefe promised that there will be more video images appearing soon.

He reported the video was taken after Epstein’s 2019 arrest but before authorities sealed off access to Epstein’s lair in the ocean.

“The footage shows Epstein’s kitchen in what has been identified as the island’s ‘main mansion.’ The footage depicts a minimalistic room with white walls, stainless steel appliances, and few decorations. (Read more from “Inside Jeffrey Epstein’s Infamous Island: Shocking Footage Revealed” HERE)

Trump’s ‘One Big, Beautiful Bill’ Gets ‘No Tax’ On Tips And Overtime

/3 Comments/in , , /by

Two of President Donald Trump’s major tax-related campaign promises that will impact millions of American workers have made it into legislation proposed for the so-called “one big, beautiful bill,” albeit only for a period that would not last beyond his second term.

“No Tax On Tips” and “No Tax On Overtime” appear in a 389-page measure released by the House Ways and Means Committee on Monday, with provisions saying the deductions would expire at the end of 2028.

Another of Trump’s priorities, no tax on auto loan interest, made it into the legislation.

Trump had also been pushing for an end to taxes on Social Security for seniors, however Bloomberg reported that it could not be included due to the “special budget process that Congress is using to advance the tax package.”

Instead, the measure has a section that would allow middle-and low-income seniors to deduct an extra $4,000 for each taxable year. (Read more from “Trump’s ‘One Big, Beautiful Bill’ Gets ‘No Tax’ On Tips And Overtime” HERE)

Doctors Discover Drug Already on the Market ‘Could Prevent 1 Million New Cases of Alzheimer’s’ a Year

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Alzheimer’s affects nearly 7 million Americans, a number that’s expected to spike to 13.9 million by 2060.

Given the devastating effects of this incurable disease, the hunt is on for a drug that could help prevent or slow its progression.

Now, a new study has found that nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) — a common class of medications for HIV — could dramatically decrease the risk of developing this neurodegenerative disorder.

Analyzing data from over 270,000 patients aged 50 and older, researchers observed that the risk of Alzheimer’s decreased by 6% to 13% for each year the patients were on NRTIs.

These results are — to say the least — incredibly promising.

“It’s estimated that over 10 million people around the world develop Alzheimer’s disease annually,” said Jayakrishna Ambati, founding director of the University of Virginia Center for Advanced Vision Science.

Trump to Sign ‘One of the Most Consequential Executive Orders’ in History

/2 Comments/in , , /by

After teasing that his next message on Truth Social would be “one of the most important and impactful I have ever issued,” President Donald Trump on Sunday announced he would sign an executive order Monday morning designed to cut prescription drug and pharmaceutical prices “almost immediately, by 30% to 80%.”

“For many years the World has wondered why Prescription Drugs and Pharmaceuticals in the United States States of America were SO MUCH HIGHER IN PRICE THAN THEY WERE IN ANY OTHER NATION, SOMETIMES BEING FIVE TO TEN TIMES MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE SAME DRUG, MANUFACTURED IN THE EXACT SAME LABORATORY OR PLANT, BY THE SAME COMPANY???” Trump began, having made people wait nearly four hours for his post.

“It was always difficult to explain and very embarrassing because, in fact, there was no correct or rightful answer. The Pharmaceutical/Drug Companies would say, for years, that it was Research and Development Costs, and that all of these costs were, and would be, for no reason whatsoever, borne by the ‘suckers’ of America, ALONE.

“Campaign Contributions can do wonders, but not with me, and not with the Republican Party. We are going to do the right thing, something that the Democrats have fought for many years.

“Therefore, I am pleased to announce that Tomorrow morning, in the White House, at 9:00 A.M., I will be signing one of the most consequential Executive Orders in our Country’s history. Prescription Drug and Pharmaceutical prices will be REDUCED, almost immediately, by 30% to 80%. (Read more from “Trump to Sign ‘One of the Most Consequential Executive Orders’ in History” HERE)

Police: Councilwoman Incites Mob, Assaults Officers to Stop Arrest of Violent Illegal Alien

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Police are calling for an official investigation and charges against a city councilwoman for allegedly assaulting officers and inciting a violent mob trying to stop the arrest of an illegal alien criminal suspect in Worcester, Massachusetts.

It is another in a slew of incidents where government officials have stepped in to try to block immigration enforcement as the Trump administration cracks down on aliens with criminal records in the U.S.

A local police union argued over the weekend that Etel Haxhiaj, who represents Worcester’s District 5, helped incite the mob into assaulting ICE officers and cops during the Department of Homeland Security operation that escalated out of control Friday. The Worcester Police Patrolman’s Union made the allegations in a statement released Saturday.

The protest by more than two dozen bystanders chanting “no warrant!” and “not the mother!” resulted after authorities came to arrest Ferreira de Oliveira. She is an illegal alien whom local police recently arrested for assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and assault and battery on a pregnant victim, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

It was unclear how many of the bystanders were just a spontaneous outpouring of “neighbors,” as some news outlets reported, or if the gathering was engineered by anti-deportation activists who got a heads up on the apprehension operation.

Archaeologists Stunned by Royal Discovery Behind ‘Massive’ Granite False Door

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Archaeologists confronted by a false door at an excavation site were stunned to find that it led to the tomb of Egyptian royalty.

The Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities announced the discovery in a recent Facebook post in April.

The tomb was found at the Saqqara archaeological site in the Giza Governorate of Egypt.

The tomb belonged to a prince named “Userefre” or “Waser Ef Ra,” the son of King Userkaf.

Userkaf was the founder of the Fifth Dynasty, which lasted from the early 25th century B.C. until the mid-24th century B.C.

The tomb was concealed by a “massive false door,” according to Egyptian officials, and was made of pink granite. (Read more from “Archaeologists Stunned by Royal Discovery Behind ‘Massive’ Granite False Door” HERE)

Department of Homeland Security Investigating State Over Providing Benefits to Illegal Aliens: ‘The Gravy Train Is Over’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security is investigating California over allegations of providing federal benefits to illegal aliens at the taxpayer’s expense.

The department made the announcement on Monday.

“Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Los Angeles Field Office issued a Title 8 subpoena to the State of California’s Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants (CAPI),” the press release reads, noting that the CAPI program “provides benefits to aliens who are ineligible for Social Security benefits because of their immigration status.”

As a result, authorities will receive records — which include applications — from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Social Services and investigate to see if illegal aliens received these federal benefits over the course of former President Joe Biden’s tenure.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in a statement that “radical left politicians in California prioritize illegal aliens over our own citizens, including by giving illegal aliens access to cash benefits.” (Read more from “Department of Homeland Security Investigating State Over Providing Benefits to Illegal Aliens: ‘The Gravy Train Is Over’” HERE)

Over 7,750 Baptized at Huntington Beach in Largest Single-Day Baptism in US History

/6 Comments/in , , /by

More than 7,750 people were baptized in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Huntington Beach, California, on Saturday, an event organizers say marked the largest single-day baptism in American history.

Hosted by Oceans Church and led by Pastor Mark Francey, the event dubbed “Baptize California” drew approximately 30,000 attendees from more than 300 churches across the state.

Participants of all ages publicly professed their faith through baptisms, either in the ocean or in portable baptisteries positioned along the beach.

“You were part of the largest water baptism in American history,” Francey told the crowd. “Who thinks that God could do it in the other states of America?”

The mass baptism, now in its second year, exceeded last year’s turnout of 6,000 and is seen by organizers as a spiritual catalyst for an even larger national event planned for next month. Called “Baptize America,” the initiative aims to unite thousands of churches across the United States in what is described as “the largest synchronized baptism in history.”

The next event will be held on June 8 and falls on Pentecost Sunday, a date that commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles in the Christian tradition. Organizers believe the timing is symbolic and strategic, pointing to revival and national spiritual renewal.
