Winning.

You want to know what President Trump has been up to the past  week?

The White House Press Corps received a reality check to wrap up this week’s news.

Daily Caller White House Correspondent Reagan Reese posted to social media platform X Friday a 3-page document that was handed out that day listing all of President Donald Trump‘s accomplishments for the week.

If Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and her team always plan to bring their A-game, unlike her predecessor and apparent diversity hire Karine Jean-Pierre, the press needs a report like this every week.

Let’s look at DOGE. And who started firing employees. Clinton, Gore, Obama.

They started it. Left to right: Former US Vice President Al Gore and former US President William Jefferson Clinton arrive on Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland for the National Prayer and Reconciliation Service at the National Cathedral in Washington D.C.

Let’s look at DOGE. And who started firing employees. Clinton, Gore, Obama.

Remember that Trump didn’t start the cutting out of deadwood employees and government waste. Also DOGE was already in place.

Let’s look at what happened under Clinton/Gore.

  • Reduced the size of federal civilian workforce by 426,200 positions between January 1993 and September 2000.1   Thirteen of 14 departments reduced in size. Closed nearly 2,000 obsolete field offices and eliminated 250 programs.
  • Cut government by eliminating what wasn’t needed bloated headquarters, layers of managers, outdated field offices, obsolete red tape and rules. For example, cut 78,000 managers governmentwide.
  • And who created DOGE?
  • Trump didn’t create a new Cabinet-level department with DOGE, but rather renamed the previously existing United States Digital Service, which was created under former President Barack Obama.That office launched in 2014 to improve the federal government’s digital capabilities following the rocky rollout of the HealthCare.gov website.

You got the Tariffs, Don’t do what you did the last time. Steel and Aluminum.

You got the Tariffs, Don’t do what you did the last time. Steel and Aluminum.

The last time President Trump placed the Tariffs on Steel and Aluminum, the American companies raised their prices. This was wrong and let us hope that someone in government keeps an eye on this.

Canada, Brazil, Mexico, South Korea and Vietnam are the biggest sellers of steel into the U.S., according to American Iron and Steel Institute data, while Canada is the dominant supplier of imported aluminum.

Why Conservatives and the majority of Americans are on the 80% of all issues.

Government working with a hate group.

Why Conservatives and the majority of Americans are on the 80% of all issues.

This morning I heard the perfect breakdown of what’s called 80 20. Take all the issues of today and what’s President Trump is doing is supported by the 80.

Democrat politicians supporting Illegals, Transgender, Wasteful Spending, Hollywood, Silicon Valley, and finally old men and women being guided by the 20 and 30 something crowd.

The 2024 elections gave President Trump a mandate. He was open about what he was going to do and he was also open about Musk. The President said a sledge hammer would be used to fix things. Promises made, Promises kept.

Yes Virginia, Americans cared about the economy, inflation, not J6.

Much to do about nothing.

Yes Virginia, Americans cared about the economy, inflation, not J6.

Americans looked at J6 and saw what I saw. Much to do about nothing. J6 was about a protest that thanks a city that refused Trumps help, let a protest get out of hand.

This from a CNN Analysist.

“People, simply put, didn’t care as much about the attack on the Capitol,” Enten continued. “Look at this, ‘January 6th is your biggest memory of Trump’s first term.’ By the time of 2024, look at this. It was just 5%, just 5% of Americans, and among Republicans it was just 2%. So the bottom line is, fewer Americans faulted Donald Trump, thought he was greatly responsible for the January 6 attack, and more than that, when it went in the rear view mirror, far fewer folks thought that it was their number one memory.”

Pass few bills, but put a lot in them.

Pass few bills but put a lot in them.

The House needs to combine numerous items in one large reconciliation bill. Some in Trumps inner circle want several, but Speaker Johnson has stated that the President wants one large bill.

That bill will cover border security, energy, and an extension of Trump’s 2017 tax law.

Reconciliation allows Congress to pass party-line policies on taxes and spending with simple majority votes, bypassing the Senate’s standard 60-vote requirement for legislation. Marshaling Trump’s policies into one bill would allow the incoming administration to advance their agenda.

How we get around the 60 vote. Reconciliation.

December 11, 2024 Anne Dwyer, Kelly Whitener

How we get around the 60 vote. Reconciliation.

Just as they have done in the past, the Democrats in the Senate are already claiming that they will derail the Trump train. Many bills take a 60 vote to pass. How to respond?

Reconciliation. Reconciliation allows some tax and spending bills to pass with a simple majority vote. Republicans plan to use this process to increase spending on border security and cut taxes, and are currently deciding whether to handle them separately or roll them into one gigantic package.

So why so Surprised? California businesses are now shouldering the state’s federal unemployment debt with higher payroll taxes.

You voted for this.

So why so Surprised? California businesses are now shouldering the state’s federal unemployment debt with higher payroll taxes.

Business owners are acting like they’re shocked that the taxes went up. Why? This is California, why not? You get the government that you voted for, so live with it. From our friends at KCRA3.

The state failed to repay on time its $20 billion loan from the federal government that helped with California’s unemployment costs during the pandemic. The state forced businesses to close during COVID-19, leaving many jobless and in need of unemployment pay. State officials have said California ended up paying more than $200 billion in benefits. More than $32 billion of was the subject of fraud, according to nationally recognized fraud experts. Officials for California’s Employment Development Department have disputed this, stating the amount of fraud was $20 billion with $6 billion of it recovered.

Now will the business owners wake up and work to get a government for the people? Or will they leave the state or shut up and pay the taxes they voted for?

Hey the state is trillions in debt so the politicians just pass along that debt to you. But not to worry. The undocumented will have a very Merry Christmas.

One law. One Page. Part 23. EV’S.

Pass a law that bans any electric battery not made in the USA. Give companies two years to comply. Until the mining of minerals can be be done here, allow the minerals from non Communist/Socialist countries.

Use what’s left of Biden’s $7.5 billion plan to build charging stations and shifting the money to battery-minerals processing and the “national defense supply chain and critical infrastructure.”

Finally give the $7,500 tax credit to those who buy American made hybrid or gasoline fueled cars.

Another reason to shop for food bargains. Wholesale Food Prices surge.

Now should show folks why changes had to be made. Wholesale prices climbed 3% in November, the sharpest year-over-year rise since February 2023. Americans weren’t buying the lefts claim that things were rosy and prices were coming down.

Now when Wholesale prices go up, corporations profits are effected and usually that means those increases are passed on.

The wholesale price report comes a day after the government reported that consumer prices rose 2.7% in November from a year earlier, up from an annual gain of 2.6% in October. The increase, fueled by pricier used cars, hotel rooms and groceries, showed that elevated inflation has yet to be fully tamed.
