Excellent News Is Coming Out of Switzerland From US-China Trade Talks

Day one of the critical trade talks between the United States and China in Switzerland is over. Progress has been made, though some in the media seem to be cheering for a total collapse of these negotiations. Politico especially is insufferable, with the headline “the US-China trade meeting’s low bar: Progress.” That’s a good thing, you guys. The real low bar is no one walking out and an ending the talks on the first day:

TIPSHEET
Trump Cuts National Debt Growth by 92 Percent
Sarah Arnold | May 10, 2025 4:00 PM

President Donald Trump is making good on his campaign promises. New fiscal data shows that under Trump's leadership, the growth of the national debt has slowed by a staggering 92 percent compared to the Biden era, undermining the narrative pushed by Democrats and the mainstream media.
According to a recent report, public debt rose by nearly $37 billion between January 22 and May 6. In contrast, during the same period in 2024 under Biden, the debt surged by over $478 billion. This marks a 92 percent reduction in the rate of debt growth, primarily reflecting Trump’s successful efforts to rein in federal spending through the Department of Government Efficiency.
While a $5.5 billion reduction in a $26.2 trillion national debt may seem small, the decrease in debt financed through instruments like Treasury bonds, rather than internal government transfers, shows that Trump’s second term has led to meaningful cuts in federal spending.
More from the report:
From Inauguration Day to May 5, debt held by the public rose by $37,238,323,646.66. Because this accounts for an influx of revenue around April Tax Day, the comparable window to compare Trump’s performance to that of his predecessor is not Trump’s first 104 days with the last 104 days of Joe Biden (when debt held by the public rose by $521,984,501,224.88), but to the same window in 2024.
From Jan. 22, 2024, to May 6, 2024, debt held by the public rose by $478,402,286,425.95.
Still, that means that the growth in our outstanding national debt fell by an astounding 92%. Part of this is indeed due to the federal revenue generated by the early Trump business boom and the subsequent tariff regime, which may have scared markets but has slightly increased Uncle Sam’s coffers: Relative to the same 104 days in 2024, the federal government collected $21 billion more in corporate tax revenue, or a 15% increase, and nearly $6 billion in tariff revenue.
But a significant portion is due to early successes at slashing spending.

It's Time to Stop Counting Illegal Aliens in the Census

During his first term, President Donald Trump issued an executive order directing the Census Bureau to add a question about citizenship status to the 2020 national survey.
There was good reason for this. The Census is used to count the population. Population numbers are then used to determine how many congressional seats are allocated to each state. Given illegal aliens aren’t citizens and ineligible to vote, they should not have representation in Congress and Democrats shouldn’t benefit from additional congressional seats based on an illegal population.
“If unauthorized immigrants were excluded from the apportionment count, California, Florida and Texas would each end up with one less congressional seat than they would have been awarded based on population change alone. California would lose two seats instead of one, Florida would gain one instead of two, and Texas would gain two instead of three, according to analysis based on projections of Census Bureau 2019 population estimates and the Center’s estimates of the unauthorized immigrant population,” Pew research details. “Alabama, Minnesota and Ohio would each hold onto a seat that they would have lost if apportionment were based only on total population change.”
“In addition to these states, 11 more would gain or lose seats based on population change alone, whether unauthorized immigrants are included or excluded. Five states would gain one seat each: Arizona, Colorado, Montana, North Carolina and Oregon. Six states would lose one seat each: Illinois, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and West Virginia,” Pew continues
Democrats, whose congressional power is threatened by the citizenship question, sued in partnership with their leftist allies and the case made its way to the Supreme Court.

Bill Gates Cannot Rescue Himself by ‘Closing’ His Foundation
Peter Flaherty | May 10, 2025
The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.
Justin Tallis/Pool via AP
Bill Gates’ unexpected announcement that he will spend down the assets of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation over the next twenty years is recognition by Gates that it is no longer his protection blanket. These days, Gates is more likely to be associated with Jeffrey Epstein or the botched COVID response.
Gates dropped the news through the New York Times, which emphasized that Gates is “giving away” most of his fortune. But is this really charity?
Gates gives to his own Foundation. It has functioned as the biggest public relations firm in the world, with everything calculated to make Gates look good. It also spends money on what Gates personally believes is important, not on what is necessarily in the public interest. He did, of course, put up the money but he also received significant tax advantages.
Despite its enormity, the Gates Foundation board for years consisted of only three people — Gates, his now ex-wife Melinda, and Warren Buffett, who contributes roughly half the Foundation’s assets. This close oversight suggests that the money was never really “given away,” not at least in the minds of the donors. Instead, the money was kept close to home, under their control. Buffett only resigned in 2021 at the age of 90.
Gates is blaming who else but Donald Trump for the imperative to spend all the money, citing the cuts to foreign aid and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The only problem is that the sheer size of the Gates Foundation makes it impossible for it to simply “close up shop,” as the New York Times put it. The reality is that the Gates Foundation will continue to play an outsized and malevolent role worldwide, and especially in American domestic politics.
Neither Gates nor Buffett ballyhoo it, but the Gates Foundation at times has been the biggest contributor to a network of “dark money” organizations associated with Arabella Advisors. The money is distributed to a host of activist groups that force the domestic political debate to the far left, doom “moderate” candidates, and poison the well of civil discourse.
Bill Gates claims that his foundation has saved millions of lives, but that claim should not be taken at face value. It has a giant presence in developing health policies worldwide, easily outstripping the influence of any single government. Anyone who might take differing approaches to a range of health issues — especially vaccinations — is outflanked by Gates’ grantees, who can smother alternatives in the cradle. And of course, Gates gives to so many media outlets that he has his own echo chamber, dominating coverage of health issues.
Gates gets his way, and he is often wrong. This became all too obvious during COVID, when policies that Gates pushed, from masking to lockdowns, had devastating consequences.
Gates has said nothing about the reasons for the antipathy toward USAID. The agency had for many years been part of an American bulwark against communism, enjoying bipartisan support. After the fall of communism, the mission drifted to interfering in the internal politics of democratic countries, including the United States. We still don’t know the whole truth about the role of US government agencies in the internal politics of Ukraine for the past twenty years, but we do know that they were partisan, likely facilitating Biden family corruption and the framing of President Trump, resulting in his impeachment.
In this respect, USAID operates just like the Gates Foundation. Gather billions in resources and proclaim a noble mission, but bring with it a political agenda that permeates all that you do. Take for instance the Gates Foundation “Gender Identity Toolkit,” which serves as a guide for any entity accepting Gates money worldwide. This “Toolkit” asserts that gender results not from biology or genetics, but from social and cultural attitudes. So, if you are running an anti-hunger or health program in a Third World country, the money is laced with First World, “woke” ideology.
It is not clear that Bill Gates can save himself from himself. No amount of Trump-bashing or inflammatory claims about millions of dead children is going to rescue his reduced public standing.

Here’s How Kash Patel Responded When Sen. Kennedy Questioned Epstein’s Cause of Death
Sarah Arnold | May 09, 2025 10:00 PM

In a striking exchange before Congress, Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) directly questioned FBI Director Kash Patel about the official narrative surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s death. Kennedy’s pointed inquiry, whether Epstein truly died by suicide, reflects persistent concerns among lawmakers and citizens alike about the integrity of investigations involving high-profile individuals with deep political and financial ties.
This week, Patel testified on various topics before the Senate Appropriations Committee’s Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies. However, Kennedy’s questions about Epstein’s death caught the most attention.
“Did Jeffrey Epstein hang himself or did somebody kill him?” Kennedy asked.
“Senator, I believe he hung himself in a cell in the Metropolitan Detention Center,” Patel responded.
Kennedy pressed for transparency, asking if all information about Epstein’s death would be released. Patel responded that the matter is currently being reviewed in coordination with the Department of Justice. The FBI Director said he hopes to have those files soon.
“Like before I die?” Kennedy asked Patel, who said, “Senator… we are, we’ve been working on that and we are doing it in a way that protects victims and also doesn’t put out into the ether information that is irrelevant for production for the public, such as CSAM [child sexual abuse material].”
Epstein, who had previously pleaded guilty to sex-related offenses in 2008, died by apparent suicide in 2019 in a New York City jail cell while in custody awaiting trial on a new set of federal charges.

Trump 'Disruptions' Long Overdue, Heartily Welcomed
(Ginettigino/Dreamstime.com)
By Larry Bell
Friday, 09 May 2025 10:28 AM EDT
Current | Bio | Archive
President Donald J. Trump has been broadly regarded as a politically out of favor "disrupter" from the time he was first elected to the White House without mainstream media and elite GOP establishment "permission," and/or endorsements.
It became even worse for our now nation's 47th commander in chief — and his supporters — (no) thanks to two impeachments, an armed FBI raid on his personal home, endless lawsuits attempting to seize his Trump Tower property, bankrupt and imprison him on beyond vacuous, phony charges, and two bold assassination attempts.
The first of these was on July 13, 2024, during a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, during which firefighter Corey Comperatore, in attendance with his wife and two daughters, lost his life while trying to shield them.
The second, while Trump was innocently playing golf at the resort-club he owns in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Sept. 15, 2024.
Remarkably, all these efforts to permanently disrupt Trump made him definitively and defiantly stronger, as well as more popular to become the second president elected to serve a non-consecutive term of office since Grover Cleveland in 1885 and 1893.
Since then, there’s no sign they’ve slowed him down in the least.

Democrats' Playbook: Weaponize Tragedies to Get Trump
(Stephanie Keith/Getty Images)
By Jim Thomas | Friday, 09 May 2025 09:16 AM EDT
When George Floyd died beneath a police officer's knee in 2020, Democrats quickly elevated the national outrage, morphing his death into a symbol of systemic racism — and mainstream media followed suit, amplifying the party's message with wall-to-wall coverage and emotional storytelling.
Five years later, the same pattern is playing out with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a citizen of El Salvador who was deported by the Trump administration despite a court order.

During the interview that Joe Biden did with the BBC, he attacked President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance over the meeting they had with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the White House in February, saying that it was "beneath America" the way the meeting was conducted.
On Thursday, Fox's Martha MacCallum asked Vance during an interview about Biden's remark and what he would say in response. Vance's reply was textbook.

New Poll: Democrats Want to Jail Elon Musk for Fixing Government
Justin Haskins | May 09, 2025
The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.
AP Photo/Evan Vucci
Elon Musk has done many things that should have earned him praise from both the left and right: He helped revolutionize electric cars, pushed the limits of space exploration, and championed free speech for all people, not just the ideological factions with whom he agrees. But after briefly serving in the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—a bold attempt to eliminate waste and rein in the bloated federal bureaucracy—Musk has now become Public Enemy No. 1 for the modern left.
A stunning new poll conducted by The Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports reveals just how far Democrats are willing to go to silence those who dare to challenge the administrative state in Washington, D.C. An astonishing 71 percent of likely Democratic voters say they would support a hypothetical law that would imprison Elon Musk for his role in DOGE.
Yes, you read that correctly. Seven in ten likely Democratic voters want to imprison Musk for trying to make government more efficient.
This isn’t satire. This is the modern Democratic Party, where liberalism has evolved into authoritarianism dressed in the clothes of compassion and equity.
It Gets Worse
Incredibly, the numbers are even worse for those who identify as “liberal” in the survey. This includes ideological liberals in all political parties, not just the Democratic Party. Eighty percent of liberals say they want to jail a private citizen for working in a government department whose sole mission was to cut waste.
That’s not all. In a separate question included in the survey, respondents were asked if they would support a law to keep Elon from serving in government again, in any capacity. This, of course, would be an overt violation of constitutional rights. However, that didn’t stop nearly 70 percent of Democrats from supporting the proposal.
The poll also found that 80 percent of Democrats have either a “very” or “somewhat” unfavorable opinion of Musk. That might not be surprising given the coordinated media campaign against him. Since taking over X (formerly Twitter) and allowing dissenting voices back onto the platform, Musk has been relentlessly demonized by the same people who once championed him as a climate hero.

Poetic Justice Came for Letitia James, and It's Glorious
Matt Margolis | 9:18 AM on May 09, 2025
AP Photo/Bebeto Matthews
On Thursday, we reported that federal authorities have launched a criminal investigation into New York Attorney General Letitia James over allegations of mortgage fraud. Later, during a Fox Business interview about these charges, George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley told host Elizabeth MacDonald that "the karma is crushing here."
During the segment, Turley pointed to contradictions in James' defense strategy that he believes mirror accusations she previously made against former President Donald Trump.
“These all have to be combed out,” Turley explained when asked about the seriousness of the charges. "The James defense team is saying that there were contradictions that were corrected, that, for example, that home was the primary residence of the other signatory.”
According to the referral from Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William Pulte, James is accused of falsifying records to obtain favorable loan terms on two properties: a Brooklyn brownstone she’s owned since 2001 and a Virginia home purchased in 2023. The case is now being handled by U.S. Attorney John Sarcone III, whose office in New York’s Northern District is leading the investigation. Pulte stated that James “appears to have falsified records” to meet lending requirements and secure better mortgage terms.
Turley noted that James' defense relies on an argument that financial institutions should have conducted their own due diligence, a standard she outright refused to grant Trump in her own case against him.
"It's an ironic defense because they're saying, 'Look, if the bank simply looked into this on their own, they could see that these were more units than just four, that this was not the primary residence of James,'" Turley stated.
He continued, "That's a type of understanding and leeway that she refused to allow to Donald Trump. She insisted that everything that was... signed in his name... really are bound legally to him. And so, they said you have an obligation to make sure everything filed was absolutely accurate."
