One week into his presidency, Trump moving fast to cleanup Biden’s mess

Posted on January 27, 2025 by | 4 comments

Is your head reeling yet from trying to keep up with President’s Trumps actions and executive orders in the first week of his presidency? He’s out of the gate this term and is ready to Make America Great Again.

To help keep up, the White House has a list of Trump’s historic actions in his first 100 hours. A portion of the list:

  • President Trump is already securing the border and arresting criminal illegal immigrants.
  • The Border Patrol is reporting a significant drop already in attempted illegal crossings.
  • The Trump Administration immediately shut down the CBP One app, which “paroled” over 1 million illegal immigrants.
  • Deportation flights have already started and the military is assisting with the effort.
  • President Trump signed a series of executive orders ensuring the elimination of discriminatory DEI practices and ensuring merit-based hiring.
  • DEI staff are being placed on leave.
  • The Federal Aviation Administration must now return to merit-based hiring.
  • President Donald Trump signed an executive order telling agencies to stop remote work practices and directing workers to return to the office.
  • President Trump withdrew the United States from the disastrous Paris Climate Agreement that unfairly ripped off our country.
  • President Trump paused all new federal leasing and permitting for massive wind farms that degrade our natural landscapes and fail to serve American energy consumers.

There’s much more! Read the whole list provided by the Trump Administration here.

Over the weekend, Trump’s administration was busy playing hardball.

Border Czar Tom Homan

First, they targeted the members from the violent Venezuala TdA gang. From Twitchy:

“In a joint operation with the ATF, ICE, and local law enforcement, DEA agents raided a party in a suburban Denver warehouse. Agents seized drugs, weapons, and cash and took nearly 50 suspected illegal gang members into custody. The federal party crashers said the warehouse was being used as a makeshift nightclub where the notorious Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua, or TdA, was hosting an invitation-only party.”

Read the details about that raid here.

Next, Columbian President Gustavo Petro learned real quick that President Trump is not going to rollover.

Early Sunday, Petro tried denying entry to US military deportation flights carrying Columbia citizens (including illegal criminals) removed from the US. Swiftly, President Trump issued a harsh response to Petro that included:

  • Emergency 25% tariffs on all goods coming into the United States. In one week, the 25% tariffs will be raised to 50%.
  • A Travel Ban and immediate Visa Revocations on the Colombian Government Officials, and all Allies and Supporters.
  • Visa Sanctions on all Party Members, Family Members, and Supporters of the Colombian Government.

Within an hour, Petro reversed course by sending Columbia’s presidential plane to collect Colombian deportees earlier barred from landing. Read the all the details about this here.

And last night Border Czar Homan was on the ground with ICE in the sanctuary city of Chicago to arrest an illegal alien child sex offender. Dr. Phil was along for the arrest, apparently to film this for some future show for his  MeritTV.

What a difference one week under President Trump makes compared to the feckless incompetence of the last four years. America is back, baby!

I can hardly wait for what may happen this week!

Denver democrats prioritize illegal aliens over citizens’ safety

Posted on April 18, 2024 by | 2 comments

There’s a valid reason why many say “liberalism is a mental disorder.”

For over fifty years Denver residents have elected a democrat mayor. In 2023 the residents continued that tradition by electing Mike Johnston.

Mayor Mike Johnston: Y’all got suckered!

One of Johnston’s stated goals when he was running for mayor? He planned to spend $20 million to hire an additional 200 first responders to address violent and property crime.

Fast forward less than a year after he assumed office and this is the reality (via Daily Mail):

Denver city council approves defund the police cuts – the largest ever in city’s budget – to pay for migrant crisis

Details:

“Denver City Council’s Finance and Governance Committee has approved plans to defund the police to pay for the migrant crisis that is costing the democrat-led city about $89.9 million. 

The finance committee determined that $41 million in cuts from multiple city departments is needed to house migrants on Tuesday, reported KDVR. 

The police department is expected to experience $8.4 million budget cuts, the sheriff’s office could see a $3.8 million cut and the fire department is expected to cut $2.4 million. 

The sanctuary city’s progressive Mayor Mike Johnston unveiled the budget proposal last week, allocating $89.9 million to assist incoming undocumented migrants, whom he refers to as ‘newcomers.’

The amount will be drawn from approximately $45 million that’s used for public programs and services, the rest is coming from city wide budget cuts.

‘After more than a year of facing this crisis together, Denver finally has a sustainable plan for treating our newcomers with dignity while avoiding the worst cuts to city services,’ Johnston said at the press conference discussing ‘Newcomer Operations and 2024 Budget.’

‘So many times we were told that we couldn’t be compassionate while still being fiscally responsible. Today is proof that our hardest challenges are still solvable, and that together we are the ones who will solve them.’

The proposed budget cuts will now go to the full city council for a vote on April 22, and if passed could go into effect by May 10.

Denver plans to spend the $89.9 million on various migrant assistance programs in 2024, including $3 million to ‘Program Administration,’ $51.7 million to ‘Shelter and Housing,’ $9.7 million to ‘Supportive Services,’ $9.5 million to ‘One Time Capital Costs’ and $10 million to ‘Contingency.’

‘Kinda crazy how much of an insult this is to Colorado’s residents. You’ve got money for migrants but meanwhile homeless people have ruined downtown and every piece of infrastructure needs attention,’ said Spencer Davis on Facebook.

‘What about our local homeless, veterans that really need help,’ said Michele Santi.

‘Put that 89 million into the schools instead,’ said Quin Williams. “

Y’all gotta learn the hard way:
