Trump’s GDP has hit 3.8%, the economy is on fire even without the Fed lowering the rates the way Trump wants. The [DS] is now trying to stop Trump’s economy. They have now created another event which they are trying to use to stop Trump’s economy, this will fail just like everything else. The [DS] is holding steady on the shutdown. The cover story is that they want money for illegal medical insurance, this is falling apart. They know they don’t have the people so they are using this to distract from the push to WWIII and they are hoping that ICE, NG will cease their operations. Trump is using this to drain the swamp, expose the D’s.  This is a no win situation for the [DS]. Trump knows the playbook and most likely he is using backchannels to speak to Putin. No war, no civil unrest, clean and swift.

Treasury Sec. Bessent: Dem Shutdown to Cut Trump’s GDP Growth

  • The Democrats’ government shutdown could reduce gross domestic product (GDP) growth that has emerged under President Donald Trump, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Thursday.
  • “We were left with a mess [by the Biden administration]. It was the largest deficit when we weren’t in a recession, weren’t at war, and [now] we are fixing the deficit,” Bessent said. “There could be a discussion, but this isn’t the way to have a discussion — shutting down the government and lowering the GDP.”
  • “We could see a hit to the GDP, a hit to growth, and a hit to working America.”

     this Salvadoran man is not going to be able to remain in our country. He will never be allowed to prey on innocent Americans again. Never forget the Democrats flew to a foreign land on the US taxpayer’s dime to break bread with this terrorist gang member and visit him in prison. While they continue to fight for criminal illegal aliens, we will continue to put the safety of the American people FIRST.

    Federal Court Rules Bans on Carrying Firearms in Post Offices Are Unconstitutional, Democrats Hardest Hit
    • In a win for the Second Amendment and law-abiding gun owners across America, a federal court has ruled that bans on carrying firearms in U.S. Post Offices are unconstitutional.
    •  , Chief United States District Judge Reed O’Connor handed down an opinion on Firearms Policy Coalition Inc, et.al. v. Bondi. FPC was joined by the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) in challenging the federal law.
    • The ruling also applies to carrying firearms on property surrounding post offices.
    • Here’s more, via Bearing Arms:

      • O’Connor wrote that the law “is unconstitutional under the Second Amendment with respect to Plaintiffs’ (and their members) possession and carrying of firearms inside of an ordinary United States Post Office or the surrounding Post Office property.” There’s nothing in the order limiting it to Texas and applies to all members of the Second Amendment Foundation and Firearms Policy Coalition.

      The complaint was originally filed in June 2024 and the named defendant was then-Attorney General Garland. “So if the government seeks to restrict firearms in a particular location as a ‘sensitive place,’ it must prove that its current restriction is sufficiently analogous to a ‘well-established and representative historical analogue,’” the complaint said.

      Big: Trump Calls for Non-International Armed Conflict on Cartels in Memo to Congress 
      •   Trump has called for a formal “non-international armed conflict” against Venezuelan drug cartels. The War Department has been engaged in interdicting and destroying suspected Venezuelan drug smugglers in the open ocean, and this would seem to place an official approval for those actions – or, at least, an official notification to Congress.

        • A Fox News piece on the matter has only a few more details:

        “The President directed these actions consistent with his responsibility to protect Americans and United States interests abroad and in furtherance of United States national security and foreign policy interests, pursuant to his constitutional authority as Commander in Chief and Chief Executive to conduct foreign relations,” the memo states. 

        • The Trump administration would seem to be wandering into uncharted waters here. While the drug cartels may have the eye-wink approval of the Venezuelan government, they are not an official branch of Maduro’s dictatorship, merely a criminal organization to which it’s in El Presidente’s interest to turn a blind eye.
        • There may be a historical precedent, though, back in the very early years of our republic, when Thomas Jefferson was president: The Barbary pirates. These were pirates and slave-traders, operating out of Tripoli in what is now Libya. They were in the habit of collecting monetary tribute from ships passing through the Mediterranean, and when President Jefferson, in 1801, told them where to stick their tribute demands, the pasha of Tripoli declared war on the United States.
        •  he sent a squadron of U.S. Navy ships to the Mediterranean to show the pirates the “or else.” The fighting went on until 1804, when a young American lieutenant, Stephen Decatur, led a detachment into the harbor of Tripoli to destroy the captured U.S. frigate Philadelphia. It is from this episode in American history that the Marine Corps anthem derives the line, “…to the shores of Tripoli.” 
        •   Trump has not, as yet, invoked this as a precedent or justification,
          • But the Supreme Court found that the conflict with Al Qaeda was a real war. It blessed as lawful the Bush administration’s use of the wartime power to hold captured Qaeda members in indefinite detention without trial, while also saying the government was bound by the Geneva Conventions to treat such prisoners humanely and not torture them.
          • This will likely be taken to the courts, and again, may proceed to the Supreme Court, as did the Al Qaeda case. But one would think at the very least, the actions of the cartels would be akin to piracy, aggressive actions against a target nation by a non-state actor, and therefore the cartels are eligible to be placed in the crosshairs of the United States armed forces.

            Thousands protest in France against spending cuts 

            • Tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets of French cities on Thursday, responding to trade unions’ calls for action against proposed deep spending cuts in next year’s budget. The unions aim to maintain pressure on President Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu, who are working urgently to resolve a deadlock in budget negotiations with political opponents before the parliamentary deadline. France24 Reporter Clovis Casali reports the latest from Paris.
