TRUMP TAX CUTS TURN SEVEN – This past week marked the 7^th anniversary of the Trump Tax Cuts.

President Trump’s tax cuts lowered taxes for every income bracket, with an average tax cut of $1,260 in 2018. About 90% of Americans saw their take-home pay INCREASE in 2018, and Americans’ real median income grew by $5,000 in both 2018 and 2019.

When he is back in office, President Trump will bring economic relief by making his middle-class tax cuts permanent and will cut taxes even more by eliminating taxes on tips, seniors' Social Security benefits, and overtime. President Trump's plan also calls for expanded R&D tax credits, 100% bonus depreciation, expensing for new manufacturing investments, and lowering the business tax rate from 21% to 15% – but only if you make your product in the USA.

Make America Wealthy Again!

“THE UNITED STATES CANAL” – President Trump issued the following statement on the Panama Canal, which is critical to the national and economic security of the United States.

“PETE HEGSETH IS EXACTLY WHAT THE UNITED STATES MILITARY NEEDS” – Tiffany Smiley recently penned an op-ed in support of Pete Hegseth for Defense Secretary.

Some highlights:

• “As a veteran who served in the Minnesota National Guard in Afghanistan, Iraq, and at Guantanamo Bay, as well as the CEO of Concerned Veterans for America, Pete has worked to bring our military back to its former glory as the greatest fighting force in history. Pete has fought for our country; he’s fought for our armed service members and he’s a strong advocate for our country.”
• “My own service and dedication to our veterans began in April 2005, when my husband Scotty was left blind by a suicide bomber in Iraq. I booked a one-way flight to Walter Reed Medical Center to care for him and began a life-long commitment to help America’s heroes: our nation’s veterans. I know that the most important trait in a Secretary of Defense is one’s unwavering support for our military and veterans, which is something I saw firsthand when Scotty was injured in combat.”
• “As is his character, Pete was a friend and ally who helped me advance my fight for our veterans even when it wasn’t flashy, cool, or drove television ratings; he did it because it was the right thing to do. He’ll do the same thing as our next Secretary of Defense.”
• “Today, America’s military is at a fundamental crossroads. Where once there was strength, respect, and honor, we now face the rise of woke ideologies that weaken our military’s identity and capability. Gender and race ideologies have been prioritized in training and recruitment instead of honor, valor and warfighting. As a result, our military is now facing recruitment shortages and a loss of respect on the world stage. Pete made it his mission to restore America’s military by returning to the foundational principles of valor, freedom, and selfless service.”
• “Now more than ever, Washington is in desperate need of leaders like Pete to get our country back on track…Pete Hegseth is exactly what the United States military needs to put America’s defense back on top, and I look forward to seeing him fight for our military as Secretary of Defense.”

“NOEM BOASTS OUTPOURING OF POLICE, BORDER UNION SUPPORT” – Law enforcement groups across the country are supporting Kristi Noem for DHS Secretary.

Fox News has the details:

• “Law enforcement organizations and unions nationwide are throwing their support behind Republican South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem as Department of Homeland Security chief, citing her as the ‘best leader to restore justice’ and tackle immigration woes left over from the Biden administration.”
• “Law enforcement groups that have endorsed Noem include: the National Fraternal Order of Police, the largest organization of sworn law enforcement officers in the U.S.; the National Association of Police Organizations; the International Union of Police Associations; the Toledo Police Patrolman’s Association; International Union of Police Associations Local 6020; the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association; the Police Officers Association of Michigan; and the National Border Patrol Council.”
• “The Police Officers Association of Michigan – the Great Lakes State’s largest law enforcement group – endorsed Noem in a letter to Paul this month, lamenting that, under the Biden administration, police have faced a more difficult job as illegal immigration moved north and rocked the state.”
• “The National Border Patrol Council, a union representing about 18,000 Border Patrol agents, called on Paul and his Senate colleagues to ‘quickly’ consider Noem’s confirmation.”
• “Fraternal Order of Police President Patrick Yoes wrote in his letter to Paul that his organization also looks ‘forward to working with [Noem] to secure our border.’”

DEMOCRATS STILL PANICKING – A new report by Politico shows that “Democrats conducting post-mortems on their sweeping losses in 2024 are finding more reason for alarm.”

As detailed by the article, recent focus groups of voters have not been pleasant for Democrats – even among voters who previously backed them. Here are some of the ways voters describe Democrats:

• “They’ve got their heads in the sand and are absolutely committed to their own ideas, even when they’re failing.”
• “Not a friend of the working class anymore.”
• “I think what the Democratic elites and their politicians believe is often very different from what the average Democratic voter is…The elites that run the Democratic Party – I think they’re way too obsessed with appealing to these very far-left social progressivism that’s very popular on college campuses.”
• “Inauthentic.”
• “Very dishonest.”

Americans handed President Trump a historic mandate, with gains made across the country and across demographic groups. In the words of President Trump, “in the Election of 2024, our MOVEMENT not only won a MANDATE – WE built a New American Majority that will define our Country’s future for generations to come!”
