Just a reminder that the ICE thug squad in NYC was dressed in construction costumes and masks to conceal the fact that they were law enforcement, and shot into a car with a child in it (on a crowded street where school had just let out). So the “orders” this guy supposedly didn’t follow were basically from street attackers, and he had his kid in the car.

American citizenship is not for sale. But elaborate birth tourism rings are profiting off the exploitation of America's laws- coaching foreigners to defraud the U.S. visa system, arranging travel and housing, and even forging documents, all to enable foreign nationals to obtain citizenship for their children. The State Department established a Birth Tourism Prevention Task Force to review the activity of visa holders, dismantle illegal birth tourism networks, and put an end to this heinous abuse of our nation's laws. In just one month, the Birth Tourism Prevention Task Force has taken action to revoke more than 600 visas from foreign nationals across the globe and will continue to safeguard our nation from this abuse. The State Department will use all available tools to dismantle birth tourism networks and defend the integrity of U.S. citizenship.

While the post states "American citizenship is not for sale," the U.S. government offers the "Gold Card" program. Under Executive Order 14351, foreign nationals can obtain U.S. residency and a pathway to citizenship for a $1 million to $2 million gift. whitehouse.gov/presidential-a… trumpcard.gov

Washington is already drawing the wrong lessons from the Iran fiasco.🤦🏼‍♀️ The answer isn’t just “build more interceptors.” The U.S. needs to DO LESS WAR. News coverage over the past week is focusing on how the U.S. needs to rebuild stockpiles quickly after Trump squandered them — without explaining what interceptors do and why stockpiles were modest to begin with. Interceptors were designed to be used for point defense of highly valuable targets, not area defense over vast stretches. That’s because interceptors are always cost-inefficient compared to the munitions they are knocking down. Each interceptor costs more individually — up to $5 million per Patriot and $15 million per THAAD, compared to Iranian missiles that cost $1-2 million, or heaven forbid, drones that cost $7,000, if the interceptors are used so foolishly. The U.S. also typically fires 2-3 interceptors per target to ensure a kill. That makes the cost-exchange math inescapably brutal for the tactical defense. Many of the people advocating to build more interceptors are the folks who want to take the U.S. into unnecessary wars and not suffer any casualties from them. They are the same people who lobbied the U.S. government to attack Iran to begin with. Building a boatload of new interceptors without strategic reflection just enables new forever wars. Yes, the U.S. should replenish its interceptor magazines, but it must also come to grips with the inherent strategic limitations of missile defense. Interceptors are just highly inefficient for bulk shielding and will never make sense for that strategy. The U.S. needs other options for that — namely, the strategic pragmatism not to start extracurricular wars in the first place. The reason the Trump administration depleted such a large portion of the stockpile wasn’t that the stocks were insufficient for reasonable contingencies — it’s that Trump used them for a purpose they weren’t meant for: defending large civilian areas from sustained retaliation, as opposed to defending the most valuable U.S. military targets for a SHORT period until a specific tactical objective is achieved. The bottom line is that Trump used U.S. missile interceptors irresponsibly. If the U.S. repeats Trump’s game of indefinitely hiding behind air defenses to avoid admitting defeat, it will face a world of hurt in future conflicts. The true answer to avoiding stockpile depletion is to start wars only as a last-resort option, with full awareness of the potential consequences, and only when urgent security threats require it.

In the US the total routine injections by age 2, is 13. They are: Hep B, Valexis (DTaP, IPV, Hib), PCV, Valexis dose 2, PCV dose 2, Vaxelis dose 3, PCV dose 3, PCV booster, MMR(V), Hib booster, Hepatitis A #1, DTaP booster, Hepatitis A #2 In Denmark, by age 2 it is 11 doses because they combine their hepatitis boosters with the MMRV doses. Even with voluntary inoculations, no child in the US has 72 injections. The average American who is not diabetic, will take 53~ years to reach 72 injections, assuming they get an annual flu shot. There also is no blanket “European Standard” of inoculation, it varies by country with Denmark being the lowest because they have approved combination doses. A child in Denmark still gets all the same vaccines that a US child did before Trump’s proposed changes. They just think you’re too stupid to look.
No longer! Thank you, President Trump and @SecKennedy!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Image is deliberately misleading. 72 is the potential number of doses--not vaccines--if someone got every booster shot every year through age 18; it is not vaccinations for an infant. The US schedule traditionally recommended twelve vaccinations for 0-6 mos. aafp.org/clinical-insig…

Wolf: If Mamdani put price controls on product like pharmaceuticals, if he bailed out farms, if he took stakes in private companies, if he said the energy companies are making too much money, if he proposed credit card caps—you would all go apoplectic, as would your viewers.  That's what President Trump is doing. You could argue he is the most powerful socialist in the country today.

THIS IS INSANE There is now a 35% chance that US national debt will hit $50 trillion by 2028, before the end of Trump’s current term. If that happens, Trump will be solely responsible for adding approximately 43% of the total US debt across his two terms.

Since President Trump's re-election, the vast majority of job growth has been in health care and education. Despite promises to re-shore industry through tariffs, over 100,000 manufacturing jobs have been lost.

BREAKING: Look at this. The day before Trump paused tariffs, triggering a historic 10% market rally, his accounts purchased 327 stocks worth up to $12.8 million. The trades were disclosed more than a year late, resulting in a $200 penalty. Unusual.
