🚨 WOMAN BREAKS DOWN TRUMP’S $2,000 STIMULUS CHECKS FOR EVERY AMERICAN - AND THE MATH IS WILD “Well, Trump just announced today that he was giving every U.S. citizen who is not a high-income earner a $2,000 dividend check.” “He said, quote, ‘A dividend of at least $2,000 a person, not including high-income people, will be paid to everyone.’” “Where’s the money coming from, you ask? It’s coming from the tariff revenue.” “Is the tariff revenue just us getting our own money back you ask? Yes.” She breaks it down: “$1,300 is the projected extra spending per U.S. household in 2025 versus 2024 due to the tariffs.” “An average household includes 2.5 people, which is $520 extra per person per year.” “Since the checks we’re each getting are $2,000, that means you’re being paid back what you paid into the tariffs plus another $1,480.” And she clarifies: “Just to be clear, this is every person in the household including kids.” “So if you’re a family of four, you’ll be getting $8,000.” Then she finishes with the line that’s making both sides react: “So for all the Trump supporters out there, enjoy. And for all the Trump haters out there, maybe you should donate yours to a charity because surely you can’t take money from an evil, hateful felon.” $2,000 per person. $8,000 for a family of four. Is this an economic plan or a political payoff?

WOW: Bessent reveals U.S. has already pulled in over $100 billion from tariffs on other countries just over the past few months. This is huge. Staggering numbers from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent at Trump’s cabinet meeting today. He laid out just how much tariff revenue has come in so far: “We've taken in about $100 billion in tariff income thus far this year. And that's with the tariffs—the major tariffs not having started until the second quarter.” “So we could expect that that could be well over $300 billion by the end of the year.” And looking down the pipeline? “We don't agree with CBO scoring. But for those who do, the CBO scored tariff income over the next 10 years at $2.8 trillion, which we think is probably low.”

BREAKING: Treasury Secretary CONFIRMS Trump’s plan to swap income tax for tariffs — “There is a good chance we’ll see it in the upcoming tax bill.” In a bombshell moment during the White House press briefing, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent just confirmed that tariff revenue could immediately fund tax relief for working Americans. Asked whether the U.S. would prioritize long-term tariff revenue or future trade deals, Bessent said: “I think it is a combination of both.” He explained that talks are already underway with 17 of America’s 18 key trading partners—and many are already flying into Washington. But the biggest news? “What President Trump is referring to is the ability for tariff revenue to give income tax relief,” Bessent said. “I think there is a good chance we will see this in the upcoming tax bill.” Trump’s vision: – No tax on tips – No tax on Social Security – No tax on overtime – Restored auto loan interest deductibility (for American-made vehicles) According to Bessent, tariff income could cover those tax cuts right away. When asked if tariffs will play a long-term role in U.S. fiscal policy, Bessent didn’t hesitate: “Tariffs will bring back American manufacturing and generate substantial revenues.”

I don't wanna send checks to people. I wanna use those dollars to reduce the national deficit. Sending checks to people is inflationary. What we need long-term is to reduce deficits. So, forget about the $2,000 sent out to everybody and just apply it against the deficit of the country. We have massive, massive debt. We don't have a balanced budget yet even if we're bringing in all this money on tariffs.

Trump says that we may be a “substantially enlarged country in the not too distant future”. He then hinted at abolishing income tax and moving back to tariffs. It sounds like Trump’s plan is to absorb Canada and Greenland, to become a self-sustaining empire and one of the largest producers of oil and natural gas on Earth, then move back to a tariff-based system that incentivizes the purchase of US goods, and abolish income tax after DOGE trims all the fat. Whether or not he will be able to accomplish this is one thing, but that appears to be his plan. He has been hinting at it for weeks now. So long as it’s done diplomatically, all parties agree, and there is no more income tax, I can get behind this idea. I understand this sounds impossible, but Trump has a knack for the impossible.

Trump promises to abolish the Income Tax, which this economy professor says is going to put an average of $30,000 a year in the pockets of American families. #Agenda47 Here’s how: 1. The current income tax costs the American people $2.4 trillion a year. 2. Trump proposes to replace the income tax with tariffs: - 20% tariff on everybody except China - 60% tariff on China 3. The tariffs are expected to bring in about $900 billion a year. 4. This tariff system is predicted to: - Grow the American economy by 20% in the near term - Provide a $15,000 raise for the typical American family - Save the typical American family $18,000 in income tax - Result in a net additional income of about $30,000 for the typical American family 5. The economic growth under this system could potentially double, reaching 5% annual growth as the new normal. 6. Comparing to countries like Singapore, the U.S. could save around $2 trillion or more. 7. There is an expectation of strong Congressional support for this proposal due to the significant economic benefits and potential for voter approval. 8. The proposal includes action items for the President, economic team, trade team, finance team, and policy team to implement and analyze the impacts of the tariff system.

So the Republican Chairman of Oversight gets to personally decide what to black out in the Epstein files before you ever see them with this new bill?… No checks. No balance. Just one man from Kentucky deciding what you get to know… Imagine if Trump’s name really is in the Epstein files, he could just get rid of it. Well, we offered a fix. He said no, “the bill is fine.” Wonder why? 👀

Let's set the record straight on who gave out bigger stimulus checks aka stimmys- #BidenHarris. Not only did they give out bigger stimulus checks amounting to $401.5 Billion, millions more people received them (167 Million payments). Furthermore, the American Rescue Plan (ARP) included a child tax credit totaling $92 billion cash that was NOT included in the stimulus bills passed during Trump’s term; as well as more direct economic assistance. While the Dem House majority made it possible for stimulus bills during Trump, ZERO Republicans voted for the hundreds of billions in direct economic payments from the ARP that rescued the economy and gave relief to 100s of millions of Americans. Remember *that* and not just the smaller stimmys you got in 2020. #reeciewiththereceipts #reeciecolbertshow #election2024

The Income Tax has been deemed Unconstitutional “There's no income tax in America until the Civil War. An emergency one Lincoln pushed after the Civil War, it's repealed 1892. They try to have a peacetime income tax, it’s declared unconstitutional Woodrow Wilson pushes through the income tax, the 16th Amendment in 1913. It's a 1% tax on the top 1% richest people in the country. It's not to tax the people, it’s to go after those robber barons. The Rockefellers, Carnegies, J. Paul Getty's, the Astors. It would be sort of like today that only Warren Buffett and Bill Gates and George Soros, that's what the tax is for. And so you have Taft, pushing through a corporate income tax. And only the extreme wealthy owned corporate stock, so it was a backdoor way to get at them. Teddy Roosevelt was responsible for inheritance tax, because only the extreme wealthy had an inheritance worth leaving. But finally, Woodrow Wilson pushes through the income tax, which is the 1% tax on the top 1% richest people.” And today this is all applied to everyone It’s time to abolish the income tax

This might be one of the most insane things I’ve ever heard Nate Friedman interviews a woman who says she is racial’gender equity specialist for the last two mayors of Atlanta She explains what we should replace ICE with “With immigrants that can actually help us learn how they got into the country in the most safest way possible and how we can allow them to keep coming into this country safely and possibly. Let immigrants be in charge. Let them take over that role. Let them be in charge of Border Patrol”

Bessent: Don’t Need Trade Deal with China, We Make Revenues Off Tariffs, ‘It’s Not Broke’ | Ian Hanchett, Breitbart News On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Ingraham Angle,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent responded to a question on whether or not a trade deal with China is needed by stating that “China is, right now, the biggest revenue line in the tariff income” and remarking, “if it’s not broke, don’t fix it.” But Bessent also said there have been “very good talks with China” and he thinks there will be further discussions with them. Host Laura Ingraham asked, [relevant exchange begins around 8:30] “When do you expect that we will see movement on the China talks, and do we need a trade agreement with China, given how well the tariffs are working out?” Bessent answered, “Look, we’re very happy is — we had 20% — about 20, 25% tariffs in President Trump’s first term. We’ve added 20% fentanyl tariffs, 10% baseline tariffs. So, we’re at 50 or 55%. China is, right now, the biggest revenue line in the tariff income. So, if it’s not broke, don’t fix it. We have had very good talks with China. I imagine we’ll be seeing them again before November. They have a 10% tariff on us. They have started shipping the rare earth magnets, which we agreed to. We had put some countermeasures on them that we’ve taken off. So, I think, right now, the status quo’s working pretty well.”

This is heartbreaking. RFK Jr. just exposed that the Biden administration was releasing migrant children to random adults—without background checks or identity verification. “The Biden administration lost track of all those children because they were emphasizing speed over security.” “They wanted to get the kids out of US custody, so they were handing them off to anybody.” “I've watched horror stories of the same person picking up child after child after child using different names and different addresses.” “One of the addresses was a strip club.” “One of the addresses was a parking lot.” “One of the addresses was an empty lot that was filled with shipping containers.” “This character was getting all these kids.” “One person got 42 kids to one address.” “What we're doing now is DNA testing on every sponsor, we're doing personal identification, we're doing background checks, and we're doing income verification.”
