House Republicans unveil blueprint to advance Trump’s agenda

The rollout of the budget resolution comes one day before the House Budget Committee is scheduled to debate and advance the resolution, which is the first step in the budget reconciliation process. The panel is set to consider the measure on Thursday at 10 a.m.

Republicans are looking to use the budget reconciliation process to pass Trump’s domestic policy priorities — including border funding, energy policy and an extension of the 2017 tax cuts — which would allow the party to circumvent Democratic opposition in the Senate.

The budget resolution acts as an outline for the reconciliation process, mandating minimums for spending cuts each committee will be tasked with making over the next 10 years, and a cap for how much the Ways and Means Committee will be allowed to increase the deficit through tax cuts over the coming decade.

Yesterday, I liked What I Was Seeing – Today, I LOVE What I Am Seeing

Last two paragraphs from yesterday. “The next tell, will be a selloff and recovery to higher dailey highs, all in the same day. That may occur as early as today, but with Powell testimony today and tomorrow, not sure.

Still feel there is a real good chance of $35 comes Friday.”

Today’s slam came courtesy of the CPI number and as I was looking for, we have just taken out the highs from early this morning on spot silver. That is the reversal I have been looking for to release the slingshot and propel up towards the $35 target for Friday. It will probably be very volatile with wild swings but working higher from now on. Hi Ho Silver Away!

Tariffs atop tariffs? White House says levies on Canada would be cumulative

If the U.S. were to proceed with all the tariffs it’s threatening next month, there’s no way they’d all be compounded atop each other into one astronomical total, right? Wrong, says the Trump administration.

The White House said Tuesday that should all its trade actions take effect in March, it would indeed pile tariff on top of tariff, to reach the larger number of 50 per cent on some items.

White House fires USAID inspector general following critical report

USAID’s Inspector General Paul Martin was reportedly fired around 6 p.m. local time. No reason was given for his termination, the source added.

Martin’s office published a 6-page report on Monday outlining how the recent State Department’s pause on foreign assistance programs and cutting down the USAID’s staff created “risks and challenges to the safeguarding and distribution of USAID’s $8.2 billion in obligated but undisbursed humanitarian assistance.”

22 Blue States Signed Secret Pact To Defy Trump Immigration Efforts, Coordinate Legal Strategies

“The Parties have agreed that they have a common interest in developing potential litigation to challenge executive action…”

According to an investigation by the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project, the 22 AGs agreed to legal collaboration and communication to defy Trump’s immigration enforcement initiatives, including any deemed confidential or privileged.

All shared information would be used to coordinate various legal schemes, as well as pre-lawsuit investigations, litigation strategies, complaints, dispositive motions, merits briefs, and amicus briefs. The agreement also bars third parties from accessing any of this shared information, which is defined as all documents, materials, information, and communications exchanged between the attorneys generals’ offices prior to the agreement.

The agreement does allow for public records requests, but requires any AG to give five days’ notice to the other AGs about the request before it was due.

As AZ Free News notes further, the other attorneys general to enter the secretive agreement oversaw California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, as well as Washington, D.C. The city and county of San Francisco, California also joined the agreement last month.

Busted Fentanyl Super Lab In Canada Makes “Breaking Bad Look Minor League”: Former Trump Official

“Canada has “very little border enforcement … most of the drugs are going from Mexico to Canada and then being brought south into the northwest United States on ships. You have almost no port enforcement…”

Asher claimed that the fentanyl super lab was “definitely” connected to Chinese organized crime and also pointed to possible connections with Iran and even rogue biker gangs.

California homeowners will have to fund half of high-risk insurer’s $1 billion ‘bailout’

After saying it would run out of funds by March, California’s last-resort fire insurance provider will impose a special charge of $1 billion on insurance companies — which will in turn pass the costs along to homeowners — the first such move in more than three decades.

While there ARE articles from other sources on the internet confirming the above, there has been no official German announcement or confirmation. This tourist site does not usually open to the public until late spring so Germany has several months to confirm/deny this report. In addition to the above, Russia’s PRAVDA & EADaily both confirmed the sale to Zelensky.

New NARA (National Archives) emails further confirm that the classified documents case against President Trump was a sham prosecution that involved the Biden White House from the start — long before NARA’s official referral of classified documents to DOJ for investigation.

ASSANGE ON USAID: ‘CIVIL SOCIETY IS A FABLE’

Assange exposed how NGOs have been co-opted into political weapons, arguing that civil society is no longer independent but a “buyer’s market” for influence:

“The last forty years have seen a huge proliferation of think tanks and political NGOs whose purpose, beneath all the verbiage, is to execute political agendas by proxy.”

He singled out USAID, Freedom House, and ‘civil society’ events as vehicles for Western political interests masquerading as grassroots activism.

WTF IS JORDAN

So Trump met with the “King” of Jordan today and I was curious …an Arab Country with a King ?

Iran is ruled by a “Supreme Leader ” amongst the Mullahs

Saudi Arabia is ruled by a “Crown Prince”

Syria was ruled by a “President” ( nobody knows what they are “ruled” by today )

Lebanon is ruled by a “President” (By convention, the president is always a Maronite Christian ) Huh ?

Now Jordan which is probably the least talked about Country in the “Neighborhood ” has quite an interesting and very brief History

I found this video of an interview with a Palestinian Leader who lived in Jordan and was Exiled and now is in the UK. He explains the History of the Palestinians and the History of the Country of Jordan

This is eye opening . I am guessing that Jordan will soon become center stage in the Middle East Conflict …But I am still wondering how a Backwater Arab Country is Ruled by a King !

Here is the interview 7 minutes

Breitbart profiles 7 lawfare (federal) judges trying to stop Trump…….Lawfare Judges Making Unprecedented Efforts to Shut Down Trump’s Agenda

Three weeks into President Donald Trump’s second term and the Democrat Party is rudderless. They lack compelling, charismatic leadership. They are rapidly losing ground in the culture war that they dominated for so long. They don’t have any favorable issues or narratives that are breaking out into the broader cultural consciousness. Their tried-and-true tactic of public shaming and cancelation couldn’t even keep the young DOGE employee known as “Big Balls” out of a job.

However, there is one element of the activist left that still poses a significant threat to the Donald Trump and his agenda, and that is lawfare. Many of the same elements of our system of justice that were used to harass, bankrupt, and even try to jail President Trump in years past are still in place and are already being weaponized against MAGA right now.

Yemen’s Houthis Warn Israel

Yemen’s Houthis have announced they are ready to attack Israel if it reneges on its ceasefire deal with Hamas and resumes its assault on Gaza.

Leader Abdel-Malik al-Houthi said in a televised speech on Tuesday that the group was “ready to launch a military intervention at any time in case of escalation against Gaza”.

“Our hands are on the trigger,” he said.

The Houthis, who control most of western Yemen, including capital city Sanaa, have launched attacks throughout the Gaza war in stated solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.

Since November 2023, the group has carried out more than 100 attacks on commercial and military ships in the Red Sea and launched missiles and drones towards Israel. It said it would limit attacks after Israel and Hamas reached a ceasefire deal aimed at ending the war last month.

But the fragile deal, still in the first of three phases, is looking increasingly shaky amid Israel’s repeated violations of its terms.

The first phase of the deal involves captive swaps, a partial withdrawal of Israeli troops and a surge of aid into the enclave. The second phase, the details of which have not yet been agreed to, would bring about a complete end to the war. An eventual third phase is meant to address reconstruction in the devastated Palestinian enclave.

On Monday, Hamas said that it would stop releasing Israeli captives over the violations, which include killings, restrictions on allowing wounded people to leave Gaza for treatment, and a failure to allow in sufficient aid. The group said it would continue to honour the terms of the agreement if Israel comes into compliance.
