President Donald Trump is calling for a temporary suspension of the federal tax on gasoline. Currently the tax is 18.4 cents per gallon. Trump doesn’t want to get rid of the tax, simply to suspend it for a period of time until the Iranian War gets resolved.
Already, Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri has said he will introduce legislation to accomplish the gas tax suspension Trump has in mind.
This proposal squarely puts the Democrats in a bind. They cannot oppose it without appearing to want to stick it to the consumers. But if they suspend the tax, will they agree to cuts in federal spending matching the new loss in revenue?
They’re caught between a rock and a hard place! Here’s more from Trish Regan.
How much fraud did the Southern Poverty Law Center fabricate? Would you believe they spent $3 million on individual false flags aimed at showing rightwing violence? In other words, there was little actual rightwing violence involved — only a sham show orchestrated by the leftist SPLC.
U.S. Justice Department under Todd Blanche has indicted the SPLC, actually slapping the group with 11 counts of criminal misconduct including wire fraud, bank fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering. The indictment charges the SPLC, based in Montgomery, Alabama, wasn’t “dismantling extremism but funding it.”
Among the groups funded by the SPLC: the Ku Klux Klan, the Nationalist Socialist Party of America and other fringe white supremacy groups. Field agents paid by the SPLC organized the 2017 Unite The Right rally in Charlottesville, Va.
In a startling sidenote, top brass at the Joe Biden White House knew all about this chicanery, and so did administrators linked with Kamala Harris! You have to wonder: Did the SPLC plot all of this chicanery or did the Democrats hatch the mess themselves?
In building its case, the Justice Department drew upon research done by the FBI, under Kash Patel. Here, Trish Regan explains how the shenanigans worked, and what a preposterous con job it all was.
President Donald Trump is preparing to pull 13,000 American troops out of Italy. This comes after he had already closed down the two remaining American bases in Spain.
So it appears Trump has, in effect, begun to withdraw American support for NATO. Italy and Spain will be the first closures, but others likely will follow over the months, or years, ahead.
Spain, in particular, outraged Trump by refusing to allow American planes and ships headed toward Iran to transit through Spanish territory. Spain’s Socialists made a lot of political hay over the issue, but now, they are sucking sand and having to underwrite the full costs of their military bases. Here’s more from Trish Regan.
President Donald Trump is now weighing his options as far as possible closings or downsizings of American military bases across Europe. Where will he pull troops from first?
It’s looking like that might happen in Spain, after the socialist government there ridiculed Trump’s requests for assistance in the Iran War and closed off Spanish airspace to American flights.
The U.S. formerly operated full-scale bases in Spain, but now does not. However, there are Naval and Air Force troops stationed at two bases under Spanish control — the Rota Naval Base outside Cadiz and the Moron Air Force Base near Seville. Don’t be surprised if those arrangements come to an end. Here’s more from Trish Regan.
Vice President J.D. Vance says U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar committed immigration fraud and ought to be deported back to Somalia.
This comes after Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez also is charged with ethics violations, centering around a payment of more than $19,000 to a “ketamine” doctor. Records from the Federal Election Commission show that AOC spent campaign contributions to hire a ketamine doctor — a Boston-based psychiatrist Brian Boyle — to conduct a leadership training session. Boyle specializes in ketamine therapy as well as treatment for depression and narcissistic personality disorders.
Likely the bigger bombshell, though, involves Vance and Omar. We will have to see if the charges lead to an actual deportation hearing. Or is this just the usual political kabuki? Here’s more from Trish Regan.
Here, Vance tells Benny Johnson that part of the problem arises because the federal government has not been prosecuting fraud cases involving amounts less than $1.5 million. Sometimes, says Vance, you need to go after the little fish and fraudsters so they will lead you to the bigger whale-like fraudsters.
Vance says the U.S. Justice Department is working to revise its policies so they stand a better chance to prosecute any and all fraud — large and small. Here’s a clip of the Vance-Johnson interview from M.J. Truth.
Ilhan Omar panics as foreign records reveal a global paper trail, implicating her in money laundering.
The allegations center on transactions in Dubai, Somalia, Kenya and South Africa, sometimes involving Tim Mynett, Omar’s husband since 2020. Here’s more from Trish Regan.
Never mind what the lowly Democratic windbags say, or Trump critics from the right, like Tucker Carlson. President Donald Trump is demonstrating stronger support among his own base than any other recent president. His approval numbers for his second term dwarf those of Barack Obama and George Bush at comparable points in their 2nd terms.
Here, former Fox News host Trish Regan looks at the recent poll numbers and wonders aloud: Who is Tucker Carlson trying to reach? Is he hoping to poach viewers off Don Lemon or Jim Acosta? Because Tucker is clearly alienating many Republicans with his bristling Trump criticism, Regan asserts.
Why are the leftists growing more desperate and crazy? Because reality is beginning to set in. Even their cherished fake news outlets are spelling out the truth: The leftists are heading toward long-term disaster!
A case in point. The top five states now gaining population all were carried by Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election. They include Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Georgia and Arizona. Meanwhile, the five states reporting the biggest population losses were all states carried by Kamala Harris in 2024: California, New York, Illinois, New Jersey and Massachusetts.
The next time states get reapportioned by the U.S. Census Bureau, after the 20230 census, the pickings will be getting slimmer for the leftists! Here, Trish Regan comments on this phenomenon, raised as a talking point by pollster Harry Enten at CNN.
Joy Reid, the former MSNBC “news” host, discusses the nationwide anti-ICE protest movement and how political messaging is drawing suburban soccer moms into activism.
This trend has become amplified after the fatal Minneapolis ICE shooting that rocked the country. Here’s more from Trish Regan.
As Democrat poll numbers crater, party leaders refuse to release a damning internal audit—fueling accusations of a full-blown cover-up and frantic damage control. Here’s more from Trish Regan.
