Week 14 of President Trump’s second term in office held many significant breakthroughs. America in the hands of the Trump Administration has made solid progress with expanded growth in foreign policy and trade deals, significant drop in border crossings with a sharp increase in arrests of violent criminal illegal aliens. There were significant strides in improvements to America’s health and food standards, while lots more all important cost cutting of waste, fraud and abuse were made across the board. FBI Director Kash Patel and AG Pam Bondi are working diligently and carefully on cases of those who committed crimes against America. So let’s take a look at this incredible week–

4/24/2025 Luncheon and Meeting with the Prime Minister of Norway

The PM of Norway is graciously assisting with the Peace Mission in Ukraine. He spoke boldly and confidently about President’s Trump’s efforts on establishing new trade opportunities as well as bringing lasting Peace to the region.

This thread by NNN gives great highlights.

4/23/2025 President Trump Executive Order Signing in Oval Office with Press Questions

Secretary Rubio’s plan to reorganize the State Department will make it more nimble, dynamic, and effective for the 21st century.

USAID will be folded into the State Department. I think this plan sounds very reasonable. If you can recall, USAID was discovered to be rife with waste, fraud and abuse by DOGE (They say Medicare and Medicaid are worse- yikes) You can read the Op-Ed opinion piece on the new reorg here.

Marco Rubio, as Secretary of State, announced he is now the acting director of USAID, aiming to align the agency with an “America First” foreign policy agenda.
The Trump administration froze most U.S. foreign aid, initiating a review to ensure alignment with national interests, which led to USAID’s integration into the State Department.
USAID’s independence is being stripped, with plans to bring its remaining programs under State Department control, following the closure of 83% of USAID’s programs.
Rubio noted that 900 of USAID’s 6,000 programs will continue under State Department oversight, addressing past criticisms of USAID operating independently.
The reorganization includes issuing waivers for State Department programs, with Rubio stating emergency food assistance and life-saving humanitarian aid are exempt from the freeze.

Biden’s Student loan policies end on May 5th. None have gone to collections since March 2020.
POTUS’ America First economic approach, investments continue to pour into our country.
The U.S. will make pharmaceuticals here in the U.S again.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection recorded its lowest southwest border crossings in March under President Trump. Border crossings have dropped 99.99%.
The U.S. must get fiscal house in order.

They will be meeting with 34 countries this week to discuss more.
Countries have been ripping off America for a long time.

The president stands strongly behind Secretary Hegseth and the change that he is bringing to the Pentagon.
Special Envoy Steve Witkoff is heading to Moscow for talks.

Question from Tim Poole: “Many news organizations that are represented in this room have marched in lockstep on false narratives… Now there is what is being called the ‘Maryland Man’ hoax.”

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: “The press in this room have the story wrong… The President was always on the right side of this issue to deport this illegal criminal from our community.”

MAHA

This week, Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. focused on advancing the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) agenda through several key activities:

International Collaboration: Met with Argentina’s Minister Mario Lugones to discuss joint efforts to combat the chronic disease epidemic, emphasizing global health improvements.
Military Health Initiatives: Visited the Pentagon to implement MAHA measures for service members, aiming to ensure healthier and fitter warfighters, as highlighted by Secretary Hegseth.
Public Engagement: Continued promoting the MAHA movement, with momentum noted for broader policy changes like ending petroleum-based food dyes, signaling a push for cleaner food systems.

These actions reflect Kennedy’s commitment to nutrition, transparency, and chronic disease reduction, aligning with the MAHA mission.

Secretary Kennedy- We were once the Healthiest People in the World

CMS is targeting waste, fraud and abuse in healthcare- they’re going to start by not paying for bad healthcare. Empowerment for patients and their families. There will be tools available for families to have some power against poor care, where they can get justice from healthcare providers where it hurts, their pocketbook.

Let me show you where this is going to matter. With all we have discovered about Covid- its origins and the misrepresentations for profit. Hospitals were incentivized to mark as many deaths as possible as Covid, so they could receive money from the federal government.

He met with the Pope on Easter Sunday. The Pope died suddenly Easter Sunday night. His was in failing health.

Apparently the Pope was a supporter of the World Economic Forum and their global agenda, whose leader consequently Klaus Schwab has resigned. This is good news for the future.

President Trump: “I just signed an executive order putting the flags of our country…at half mast in honor of Pope Francis. He was a good man…It’s an honor to do that.”

Peace and Trade

Russia and Ukraine

The situation in Ukraine has become complicated because there are so many parties backing Ukraine’s side, that even if Zelenskyy wanted peace, they all seemed to have a say in it because they had deals to get something out of it. President Trump is offering them something more interesting, more sustainable and will make them all look like heroes— if they have the heart ad the vision to make the intelligent choice. President Trump hinted at creating opportunities for growth and prosperity in Europe. God Bless leader Giorgia Meloni and the Prime Minister of Norway for their leadership. They are both championing for Peace to happen, and have committed to helping work to make sure it is a success.

Israel

President Trump’s conversation with Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu: “Gaza came up and I said, ‘You got to be good to Gaza.’ Those people are suffering … There’s a very big need for food and medicine, and we’re taking care of it … We’re pushing people very hard.”

China

China has announced that it is open to trade deal discussions with the United States. Karoline Leavitt says Trump will NOT reduce tariffs on China. The onus is on China to make a deal with the U.S.

President Trump has at least 18 trade and tariff proposals in front of him and 34 countries in active negotiations with the Trump Team. Don’t listen to fear mongers. Great things are happening for America and the world. This thread by NNN on China coming around to trade negotiations with America.

Africa

President Trump is a true Peacemaker and is working hard to bring Peace to the world.

Law and Order

DNI Tulsi Gabbard officially designates Adam Schiff and John Brennan as domestic enemies of the United States who were responsible for the attempted overthrow of the United States government in 2016 and the overthrow of the United States government in 2020.

Andrew Cuomo officially referred to Attorney General Pam Bondi for criminal prosecution by Oversight Chairman James Comer.

Arrests of judges that are aiding and abetting illegal alien criminals has begun.

Pam Bondi explains to us about the WI Judge who was arrested (on Right).

Rogue Judges being reined in. Congress passed a Bill that limits Districts Courts from having nationwide injunctions and limits them to their own district, which is how their job is supposed to function. They were acting as if they were an alternative president and doing what they wanted, not following the Constitution.

Manufacturing in America

The Golden promise of American manufacturing is shining strongly by the minute. Big corporations continue to pledge millions and billions of investments in the American workforce creating economic growth worldwide.

Cyclic Materials to invest $20 million in American plant for recycling Rare Earth Permanent Magnets.

The Road to Prosperity is better skills and more fulfilling jobs that bring growth and accomplishment. American craftsmanship is returning. That careful thought and creative problem solving that used to be the hallmark of American made quality. It is coming back.

President Trump signs an Executive Order to uplevel and upskill Federal workforce programs to provide Americans with the training and skills for the many highly skilled jobs that are coming. The plan expands 1 million new apprenticeships and to integrate systems and realign resources to address critical workforce needs and in-demand skills of emerging industries and companies investing in the United States. This is exciting news for the American worker.

The Executive Order can be found here.

The National Energy Dominance Council was formed by Executive Order on February 14, 2025 and headed by Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum and Vice Chair Chris Wright. Energy has been unleashed!

How are we doing? In just 14 weeks, America has made great strides toward energy dominance in the world market. The U.S. has become the world’s top oil and gas producer and a net energy exporter, driven by the shale revolution and innovations like hydraulic fracturing. This article by Rod D. Martin explains it:

Energy Independence: The U.S. has shifted from heavy reliance on foreign oil to self-sufficiency, with net oil imports dropping to historic lows (below 2.5 million barrels/day by October 2017).
Economic and Geopolitical Benefits: Abundant energy resources lower costs for Americans, boost economic growth (e.g., $1.8 trillion contribution from oil and gas), and weaken adversaries like Russia and Iran by reducing their energy leverage.
Policy Shifts: Trump’s administration, through actions like Secretary of Energy Chris Wright’s orders, prioritizes fossil fuels, nuclear, and technological breakthroughs (e.g., fusion, AI) over net-zero policies, which the article claims raise costs and achieve little.
Global Impact: U.S. energy exports, particularly LNG, enhance trade negotiations and support allies, positioning America as a counterweight to competitors like China in the global energy market.

All this careful work leads to American prosperity. How does that benefit Americans and what relief will we see first? Taxes will be lowered.

President Trump says “taxes are going to be substantially lowered” for Americans because of tariffs.
A proposal to eliminate federal income taxes for individuals earning less than $150,000 annually, per Howard Lutnick.
President Trump is considering increasing taxes on Americans who make over $1 million a year, per WaPo.
President Trump says a $5,000 “baby bonus” for every new mom after delivery, is “a good idea.”

This article by the White House describes what American businesses are saying about the tariffs being put in place by the Trump Administration. Businesses in the field of molds, die-cast, metals, engineering, steel, plastic, automation machinery and manufacturing, all weigh-in on how their businesses are really doing with these new Trump Administration policies. “Thanks to recent tariff policies, we’re seeing a renewed interest in U.S.-based manufacturing” said one. Another said, ““Who knew about the tariff imbalances before President Trump brought them to light? As a small businessman competing in a world market, these things matter.” Read the article here: https://x.com/WhiteHouse/status/1915853041011507391

Senator Rand Paul opposes the tariffs that President Trump is applying to inequitable trade with other countries. The text of the resolution is here.

President Trump is bringing back respect and fairness to America with equitable trade deals. Reciprocal tariffs force other countries to pay for our goods and services in the same amounts that they are charging us. Americans have strong buying power. They need us more than we need them.

South Korea is the first to make new trade deals with the U.S. The Korea-U.S. Free Trade Agreement (KORUS), effective since March 2012 and revised in 2018, is a cornerstone of South Korea’s trade strategy. Recent trade talks in April 2025, prompted by U.S. tariffs of 25% (later reduced to 10% for 90 days), aim to renegotiate or expand aspects of this deal. Both parties agreed to work toward a “comprehensive tariff-liberalization package” by July 8, 2025, with discussions covering energy, renewables, and battery supply chains. The benefits for South Korea include:

Tariff Relief
Strengthened Alliance to enhance bilateral cooperation. This includes potential collaboration in shipbuilding, energy (e.g., U.S. LNG imports), and semiconductors.
Market Access Preservation: South Korea aims to protect its $77.5 billion goods export market to the U.S. (2019 data), especially for autos, electronics, and machinery, by countering tariff threats through concessions like increased U.S. imports.
Economic Stability
Protection for South Korea’s Semiconductor Industry to be able to compete with China.

America is about to enter a boom-era of prosperity (and that’s not just being hopeful, it’s really happening.) Here is a great article about stalled American mining projects being revamped and rebooted.

A Baby Boom

The Trump Administration is pushing for higher birth rates to address economic, cultural, and national security concerns, aiming to boost the labor force, sustain social safety nets, and reinforce traditional family values. JD Vance and Elon Musk have spoken about the need to have more babies to correct the declining birth rate. Policies like a proposed $5,000 baby bonus and expanded IVF access incentivize family growth, particularly in communities where healthy family values matter, while countering the population decline.

News Media

The news media is not telling us about how strong President Trump and his team are making America. This thread gives us an idea of just how strong America is becoming with the careful groundwork President Trump has been laying out. His team’s amazing work has built an astonishing framework for a durable, lasting prosperity the world has never seen. Ancient Greece, Rome will pale at America’s transformation into greatness, and the mainstream media is completely missing the mark and not informing you, which is what their job is supposed to be.

Justice

Mike Davies says that justice is coming and arrests will be happening.

El Salvador’s Promise

El Salvador cleaned up their government and has the lowest crime of any country. President Bukele is a hero to his people and the world.

The Missing Children

Please make calls to your Representatives. They were lured from their families under false pretenses and smuggled into America while being abused the entire way. When they get to America they were placed with unvetted ‘sponsors’ who turned out to be MS13 and Tren de Aragua gang and cartel members who were really traffickers. They were sold into slavery- mostly s*x slavery. The ICE efforts going on now are rescuing the children while arresting and prosecuting the criminal predators. This is why we need to support all efforts going on right now to catch the illegal alien criminal traffickers. They have been legally designated as foreign terrorists, and they are. 8 million children are trafficked in America every year, mostly through the CPS and Foster Care system. These networks have to be shut down. Child trafficking and exploitation has to be ended. See my post here for the larger picture of what has been happening to them. Please make the calls to save children. Demand it. For tips on calling, see my post here.

If we don’t fight for the children, who will?
