Yep. I’ve said this in multiple deleted threads.


JD is a USMC !

That means for the rest of his life he is a dangerous man.

President Trump is a graduate of New York Military School, which is a small high school just a little bid North of West Point.

I don't know if it is an Honor Military which allows Graduates that were officers to enlist in some States National Guard Units as Officers. Not exactly Marines...

Crazy to see this chart.


Find out where Nuke plants have been closed or stopped construction and see how many are in blue areas or close by for transmission.

I can think of 2 in Penn, 2 or 3 in NY, 1 in NJ, 3 in State of Washington. That's a HUGE amount of available power to help keep rates down.

Electric rates are set in 1 hour segments; 24 x 7, by cost to generate electricity and demand. For example; Nuke rates in the summer, hot days can reach ABOVE .10 cents kilo watt charges, the same power bought at midnight on a cool night could be .01 cents for the same Nuke plant.

I have no insider knowledge of what this administration is doing, but there is a lot of investigating/ law enforcement needed by the DOJ. I asked AI if there is money added to the BBB(that goes into affect in 2026). Biden's solution was to hire 60k IRS agents to collect more money from taxpayers to fund corruption.

Here is that answer fro AI:

Yes, the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (H.R. 1, signed into law by President Trump on July 4, 2025) — a major budget reconciliation bill often referred to as the "big beautiful bill" — included significant additional funding for the Department of Justice (DOJ) related to immigration enforcement and activities that protect U.S. taxpayers from costs associated with illegal immigration.Key provisions:
  • $3.3 billion allocated to the DOJ, including funds for the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) to hire more immigration judges and staff, as well as to investigate and prosecute immigration-related matters (e.g., cartel/gang crimes, human trafficking, and illegal voting).
  • $3.5 billion for a reimbursement fund (called the "Bridging Immigration-related Deficits Experienced Nationwide" or BIDEN Reimbursement Fund) administered by the DOJ. This provides grants to state and local agencies for costs incurred in assisting federal immigration enforcement, such as apprehending, prosecuting, transporting, and detaining individuals involved in illegal immigration — directly offsetting burdens on U.S. taxpayers at the state/local level.
These funds support combating illegal immigration and related fraud/costs to taxpayers, as part of a broader ~$170 billion investment in border security and interior enforcement. Sources include analyses from the National Immigration Forum, American Immigration Council, Senate Judiciary Committee, and America First Policy Institute. No recent December 2025 funding bill matches this description or scale for DOJ immigration efforts.

Is this Administration afraid the country is such a mental tenderbox right now that they won’t charge/prosecute Democrats, who have clearly committed fraud, because it could be a final excuse for the Left to start burning stuff and running amok? I mean there is so much fraud they’ve found and Minnesota politicians are walking free. This isn’t a political enemy situation. This is defrauding the US taxpayer and supporting terrorist organizations type stuff. IOW clearly criminal.

No doubt the joker supports this fraud. Why? Because it has nothing to do with Trump.


Whodathunkit? Pirates plunder whether on land or on sea. That’s all they are. A nation of low iq fraudster Pirates and our government, including compliant Republicans, gleefully imported a giant mass of third world criminals with no desire to assimilate into the US culture.
