Trump to Sign New Order: Americans to Pay 'Lowest Price Anywhere in World' for Pharma

By Eric Mack and Jim Mishler | Sunday, 11 May 2025 06:49 PM EDT


President Donald Trump announced he will be signing an executive order Monday to ensure the Americans pay the "lowest price anywhere in the world" for prescription drugs and pharmaceuticals.

"I will be instituting a most favored nation's policy whereby the United States will pay the same price as the nation that pays the lowest price anywhere in the world," Trump announced.


His full post Sunday night:

For many years the World has wondered why Prescription Drugs and Pharmaceuticals in the United States of America were SO MUCH HIGHER IN PRICE THAN THEY WERE IN ANY OTHER NATION, SOMETIMES BEING FIVE TO TEN TIMES MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE SAME DRUG, MANUFACTURED IN THE EXACT SAME LABORATORY OR PLANT, BY THE SAME COMPANY???

It was always difficult to explain and very embarrassing because, in fact, there was no correct or rightful answer. The Pharmaceutical/Drug Companies would say, for years, that it was Research and Development Costs, and that all of these costs were, and would be, for no reason whatsoever, borne by the "suckers" of America, ALONE.

Campaign Contributions can do wonders, but not with me, and not with the Republican Party. We are going to do the right thing, something that the Democrats have fought for many years.

Therefore, I am pleased to announce that Tomorrow morning, in the White House, at 9:00 A.M., I will be signing one of the most consequential Executive Orders in our Country's history.

Prescription Drug and Pharmaceutical prices will be REDUCED, almost immediately, by 30% to 80%. They will rise throughout the World in order to equalize and, for the first time in many years, bring FAIRNESS TO AMERICA!

I will be instituting a MOST FAVORED NATION'S POLICY whereby the United States will pay the same price as the Nation that pays the lowest price anywhere in the World.

Our Country will finally be treated fairly, and our citizens Healthcare Costs will be reduced by numbers never even thought of before. Additionally, on top of everything else, the United States will save TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Harrison Fields to Newsmax: Activist Judges Must Stop

By Sandy Fitzgerald | Sunday, 11 May 2025 01:23 PM EDT


The upcoming Supreme Court case over President Donald Trump's push to end birthright citizenship is expected to also determine the rights of district courts to make rulings that dictate whether his orders should stand nationwide, and White House deputy press secretary Harrison Fields told Newsmax on Sunday that the high court call will be "extremely important."

"You have district courts in Hawaii dictating what the entire nation should be doing," Fields said on Newsmax's "
Sunday Report." "Why should a court in Hawaii have anything to do with what's going on in Maine? We need to end this once and for all."

He pointed out that in less than 150 days since Trump took office, there have been 37 nationwide injunctions, whereas under former President Barack Obama, there were only 12 such injunctions in eight years, and under former President George W. Bush, only six in his two terms.

"We have a situation where the Democrats are trying to take away the constitutional authority of the chief executive, running to the nearest liberal judge to completely hamstring not just the president of the United States, but the 77 million Americans that voted for his agenda," Fields added. "It's absolutely absurd."

Pope Leo XIV Identifies AI as a Main Challenge for Humanity

Sunday, 11 May 2025 08:13 AM EDT


Pope Leo XIV laid out the vision of his papacy Saturday, identifying artificial intelligence as one of the most critical matters facing humanity and vowing to continue with some of the core priorities of Pope Francis.

But in a sign he was making the papacy very much his own, Leo made his first outing since his election, traveling to a sanctuary south of Rome that is dedicated to the Madonna and is of particular significance to his Augustinian order and his namesake, Pope Leo XIII.

Townspeople of Genazzano gathered in the square outside the main church housing the Madre del Buon Consiglio (Mother of Good Counsel) sanctuary as Leo arrived and greeted them. The sanctuary, which is managed by Augustinian friars, has been a place of pilgrimage since the 15th century and the previous Pope Leo elevated it to a minor basilica and expanded the adjacent convent in the early 1900s.

After praying in the church, Leo greeted the townspeople and told them they had both a gift and a responsibility in having the Madonna in their midst. He offered a blessing and then got back into the passenger seat of the car, a black Volkswagen. En route back to the Vatican, he stopped to pray at Francis' tomb at St. Mary Major Basilica.

The after-lunch outing came after Leo presided over his first formal audience, with the cardinals who elected him pope. In it Leo repeatedly cited Francis and the Argentine pope's own 2013 mission statement, making clear a commitment to making the Catholic Church more inclusive and attentive to the faithful and a church that looks out for the "least and rejected.”

Leo, the first American pope, told the cardinals that he was fully committed to the reforms of the Second Vatican Council, the 1960s meetings that modernized the church. He identified AI as one of the main issues facing humanity, saying it poses challenges to defending human dignity, justice and labor.

Trump Teases 'Impactful' Announcement

By Jim Mishler | Sunday, 11 May 2025 03:37 PM EDT


President Donald Trump is teasing a major announcement coming amid peace talks and a potential trade deal with China.

"My next TRUTH will be one of the most important and impactful I have ever issued. ENJOY!" he wrote on his Truth Social platform.

In a preceding post, Trump
promoted the success of his tariffs that he credits for bringing China to the table. "IN JUST THREE MONTHS, TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS (and therefore, record numbers of JOBS!) HAVE BEEN POURING INTO THE USA. THIS IS BECAUSE OF MY TARIFF POLICY, and our great November 5th Election WIN!"

Trump then poked at political detractors, posting "The very STUPID Democrats are doing everything within their power to disparage what is happening. They are totally unhinged, and have lost all levels of Confidence. It is a financial REVOLUTION, and they are being Crushed. MAGA!!!"

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Sunday
reported "substantial progress" in U.S. talks with China's top economic officials to de-escalate a trade war, but offered no details of an agreement reached as two days of negotiations wrapped up in Geneva.

Bessent told reporters that details would be announced Monday and that Trump was fully aware of the results of the "productive talks."

Next Pope Must Be Unafraid, Understand His Mission


Black smoke is seen from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel meaning a new pope is not yet elected and voting will continue. (Christopher Furlong/Getty Images)

By Laura Hollis
Thursday, 08 May 2025 08:58 AM EDT
Current | Bio | Archive


The College of Cardinals of the Catholic Church has begun the conclave in Rome to elect the next pope. At this writing, the first vote has already been taken (without producing a replacement for the recently deceased Pope Francis), and by the time this column is published, the second vote will have been completed as well.

Whether or not the conclave will have chosen a new pope before my column appears in print, it is worth considering what the church — and the world — needs in the next pontiff.

The pope of the Roman Catholic Church is said to sit on the Throne of St. Peter; the successor of the man to whom Jesus Christ said, "Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I shall build My Church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it" (Matthew 16:18).

Two thousand years of history have since been filled with the political machinations and intrigues of Catholic popes (and lesser clergy) in the affairs of state of Europe, the Middle East and South America, not to mention other nations and territories around the world.

Indeed, the Pilgrims and Puritans who fled to what became the United States of America did so to be able to practice their faith without fear of the religious wars and political persecution of Protestants and Catholics alike that had become rampant in Europe.

In the modern era, some popes have certainly been more politically engaged than others. Pope St. Pius X decried "modernism" in all its forms, political and religious, while Pope Pius XII has been accused of not being "political" enough, and failing to condemn the Nazi slaughter of millions of European Jews.

Pope St. John XXIII convened Vatican II, the council that significantly modernized Catholic liturgy and practice, but it was his successor, Pope St. Paul VI, who presided over Vatican II, despite being a quieter, less overtly political figure.

Pope St. John Paul II had strong political views, having grown up in then-communist Poland, and played an enormous role in resistance to communist regimes around the world during his pontificate, while Benedict XVI, who followed him, was more scholarly and contemplative.

So, it is probably pointless to hope that the next head of the Catholic Church will be apolitical. But perhaps it is not too much to hope that he will be better informed and less careless than his predecessor, Pope Francis.

Among Francis' greatest skills was his ability to connect with individuals on the margins of society; his 12-year pontificate included many moments that showed Francis' great love for the disabled: his embraces of Vinicio Riva, a man suffering with horrible disfiguring neurofibromatosis; of Dominic Gondreau, an 8-year-old with cerebral palsy, and of Everly Tshakapesh, a baby with 3M syndrome, are just three examples.

But Francis' affinity for speaking off the cuff, coupled with his decidedly left-leaning views on some of the most contentious issues of our time, tended to create the impression that his personal beliefs about — for example — anthropogenic climate change and free-market capitalism were matters of Catholic dogma.

This was no doubt exacerbated by widespread ignorance about the doctrine of papal infallibility. (Popes are only considered "infallible" when they speak ex cathedra on matters of faith and morals.

Every opinion a pope expresses is not considered infallible, nor does it oblige agreement or obedience by the faithful.) Furthermore, some of his opinions were scientifically questionable and morally inconsistent, to say the least.

Notwithstanding his papal encyclical on the environment, "Laudato Si," there is significant scientific disagreement about whether human activity is a primary driver of climate change.

And government mandates of COVID-19 inoculations were already problematic from the standpoint of human rights; that some were derived from cell lines of aborted fetuses was yet another legitimate reason for persons of faith to decline them.

Still, even some progressives who considered Pope Francis to be brave and forward-thinking believe his papacy did not go far enough. As it always has, the world wants religious leaders who play by earthly rules.

Thus, many hope that the next Catholic pope will be even more "progressive" and more "modern," will validate deeply felt personal choices about sexuality, gender, contraception and divorce, and will yoke his message to the popular political policies of the day.

But what the Catholic Church (and the world) needs is a pope who is truly brave. That means a man who is humble enough to proclaim not "your truth" or "my truth" but Christ's Truth, and one who understands that the pope's primary responsibility is not earthly politics but individual salvation. He is to be, to use the common expression, "in the world, but not of it."

In that vein, we can consider the words of two leaders among modern-day Catholic clergy.

Cardinal Robert Sarah of Guinea — considered by some to be papabile, or a serious contender to be elected pope — has said: "The Church is not a humanitarian organization; she is not an NGO. The Church is not a political party; she is not an ideology. She is the continuation of Christ."

And while "inclusion" is a popular contemporary buzzword, it means not unconditional acceptance but something else entirely in the context of Christianity.

American Bishop (and bestselling author) Robert Barron was paraphrasing Cardinal Francis George, former president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, when he wrote, "As Cardinal George once put it, commenting upon the famous liturgical song 'All Are Welcome,' all are indeed welcome, but on Christ's terms, not their own."

May the work of the conclave produce a leader with the proper understanding of his mission.

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


AP Photo/Jose Luis Magana


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

Katie Pavlich | May 09, 2025

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.

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.

OPINION

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

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

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."

Would the Left Finally Explain the Inexplicable?

Somewhere between 10 and 12 million illegal aliens were invited into the United States by the Biden administration.

As far as logistics go, former President Joe Biden could not flee Afghanistan without getting 13 Marines killed and abandoning to the terrorist Taliban $50 billion in munitions, a billion-dollar embassy, and a $300 million retrofitted huge airbase.

But Biden and his handlers proved far more logistically capable when their target was fellow Americans.

After all, they somehow managed to stop the congressionally approved continuance of the border wall, to subvert federal immigration law, to emasculate the border patrol, and to ensure that millions of people around the world could simply walk into the U.S. illegally, unaudited and with impunity.

But why did Biden or his puppeteers do something so anarchic, so injurious to their fellow Americans?

Why cost the nation hundreds of billions of dollars in massive new entitlements? Why swamp the social services of our own poor citizens?

Why turn loose half a million criminal aliens and gang members to prey on our own weak and defenseless?

Was the idea to alter the demography in one fell swoop? To grow the dependent class, thereby expanding government?

Was it pure spite born of hatred of half the country?

Was it to ensure future constituencies, given that the Democratic agenda no longer appeals to most Americans?

Was it a globalist gambit to demonstrate borders are anachronistic?

Was it to fast-track new voters under the laxity of post-2020 early- and mail-in voting protocols?

Those who perpetrated the greatest ruse in American presidential history by staging the Biden presidency will never tell us what their ultimate agenda was.

COMMENTARY_ China blinks on trade war

THE WASHINGTON TIMES

China blinks on trade war

Trump's tariff strategy works, brings two countries together with no U.S. concessions


U.S. tariffs on China illustration by Alexander Hunter/The Washington Times more >

COMMENTARY

By Kelly Sadler - The Washington Times - Thursday, May 8, 2025

OPINION:


After months of flexing, showing no indication that China would back down in a potential trade war with the U.S., Xi Jinping blinked. U.S. and Chinese officials will meet in Switzerland this weekend for bilateral tariff talks.

While the U.S. media focuses on the pain the American consumer will feel in an extended fight with the Chinese because of President Trump’s 145% tariffs imposed on Chinese goods, little has been discussed regarding the economic hardships Beijing would experience and just how much leverage the U.S. can exert on the communist nation.

Mr. Trump understands the U.S. power in this relationship and has been merciless in applying it to squeeze the Chinese leader into better trade deals for the American public. Almost every foreign action Mr. Trump has undertaken — whether it be reclaiming the Panama Canal, talks of conquering Greenland or enacting secondary sanctions on Iran — has been aimed at lessening Chinese influence around the globe.

Overall, exports account for about 13% of
China’s gross domestic product. The U.S. is estimated to represent about 3% of China’s GDP. Goldman Sachs calculates that 10 million to 20 million manufacturing jobs in China depend on U.S. purchases.

This week, Radio Free Asia reported unrest among Chinese factory workers, who are demanding back pay and the reinstatement of unfair dismissals after the closure of manufacturing plants because of Mr. Trump’s tariffs. Protests erupted in the streets, and construction workers threatened to throw themselves off buildings last month if their demands weren’t met.
China quickly moved to censor these reports from the internet.

In April,
China’s factory activity showed its steepest contraction in 16 months, while new export orders fell to their lowest levels since 2022 during the COVID-19 outbreak. Additionally, U.S. cargo bookings out of China have fallen 60%, according to San Francisco-based Flexport, which helps companies ship cargo around the world.

Last week, Capital Economics said the Chinese economy was likely weaker in the first quarter than its official growth figures suggested. It expected the economy to expand by 3.5% in 2025, well short of Beijing’s target of about 5%.

It has become so bad, The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday, that the Chinese government has “stopped publishing hundreds of data points, including land sales, foreign investment, and unemployment figures,” making it harder for outside economists “to know what’s going on in the country.”

Strategic nuclear collaboration by China, Russia, North Korea weakens U.S. deterrence

In this June 20, 2019, file photo released by China’s Xinhua News Agency, visiting Chinese President Xi Jinping, left, and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un wave from an open top limousine as they travel along a street in Pyongyang, … more >

By Bill Gertz - The Washington Times - Friday, May 9, 2025


China, Russia and North Korea are rapidly expanding their nuclear forces and increasing joint strategic collaboration, undermining the U.S. ability to deter a nuclear war, according to senior Pentagon officials.

Compounding problems of maintaining nuclear war deterrence, the urgently needed U.S. strategic modernization program is behind schedule and over budget. As a result, the U.S. might need to expand its nuclear arsenal and forces to meet the new challenges, the officials told a House panel.

Brandi Vann, acting assistant defense secretary for nuclear deterrence, said the U.S. is facing one of the most unprecedented strategic environments in American history.


China and Russia are modernizing and diversifying their nuclear forces at a breathtaking pace, and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea continues to demonstrate its ability to execute a strategic attack,” she told the House Armed Services strategic forces subcommittee on Wednesday.

“Additionally, our adversaries are increasing their level of coordination and cooperation, which also raises the possibility of simultaneous conflicts with multiple nuclear-armed adversaries.”

Iran continues to build long-range missiles and expand its nuclear program, raising the prospect of a future nuclear-armed state with intercontinental ballistic missiles.

All current U.S. nuclear forces – missiles, bombers and missile submarines – are being modernized as part of President Trump’s proposed $1 trillion defense budget for fiscal 2026.

Ms. Vann warned that the modernization may be insufficient for “the realities of the security environment we will face in the future.”

Pope Leo XIV Addresses Cardinals in English at First Mass

Friday, 09 May 2025 06:43 AM EDT


Pope Leo XIV, history’s first North American pope, celebrated his first Mass as pontiff on Friday, presiding in the Sistine Chapel with the cardinals who elected him to succeed Pope Francis and follow in his social justice-minded footsteps.

Wearing white vestments, Leo processed into the Sistine Chapel and blessed the cardinals as he approached the altar and Michelangelo’s “The Last Judgment” behind it. He delivered the opening prayers and hymns in Latin, and women read the initial Scripture readings.

Addressing the cardinals in English, he said “you have called me to carry the cross and to be blessed” and asked for their help to spread the Catholic faith. It was the first time Leo made public remarks in English, after he spoke in Italian and Spanish only in his first comments from the loggia of St. Peter’s Basilica on Thursday.

Leo, the Chicago-born Augustinian missionary Robert Prevost, was elected Thursday afternoon as the 267th pope, overcoming the traditional prohibition against a pope from the United States.

Trump Floats Cutting China Tariffs to 80 Percent From 145 Percent

The announcement comes as White House officials are set to meet with high-level Chinese authorities.

5/9/2025 Updated: 5/9/2025


President Donald Trump on Friday signaled that he may cut tariffs on China from 145 percent to 80 percent ahead of a meeting between the White House and top Chinese regime officials over the weekend.

The meeting is scheduled to take place in Switzerland, marking the first talks between the two major economies, coming weeks after Trump announced 145 percent duties on Chinese imports and Beijing responded with 125 percent tariffs on U.S. imports.

An “80 percent Tariff on China seems right! Up to Scott B,” Trump
wrote on his social media account on Friday morning, referring to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

The Republican president also suggested in a separate Truth Social
post on Friday that China open its markets to the United States and its businesses, writing in all caps: “Would be so good for them!!! Closed markets don’t work anymore!!!”

Trump previously stated that he wouldn’t lower the tariffs on Chinese products to hold trade talks. But on Thursday, when he was asked about the tariffs, the president said he may lower the rates if the negotiations over the weekend are productive.

“We’re going to see,” Trump told reporters. “Right now, you can’t get any higher. It’s at 145 [percent], so we know it’s coming down.”

President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on May 8 unveiled the broad outline of a new trade agreement hailed by Trump as a “great deal for both countries.”

It was the first trade deal announced after Trump imposed sweeping tariffs on nearly all countries on April 2.

OPINION_ Lower Drug Prices: A Great Deal for America

THE EPOCH TIMES

Lower Drug Prices: A Great Deal for America


Joe Raedle/Getty Images

By Steve Cortes
5/8/2025 Updated: 5/8/2025

Commentary


In November 2024, Americans sent a clear election message and delivered President Donald Trump a clear mandate: Prices are way too high. While inflation has hit our grocery stores (up by 23.6 percent since 2020) and housing costs (up by 30.9 percent since 2020), there’s another cost outpacing the rest when it comes to price hikes. Prescription drugs have jumped by 46.2 percent since 2020, forcing Americans to pay the highest price in the world for life-saving medications. No wonder citizens are angry.

In 2022, Congress passed legislation that gave the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) the authority to negotiate lower drug prices on behalf of Medicare beneficiaries for the first time. As this administration targets cost-saving measures across government, this program is projected to save billions of dollars, with an estimated $1.5 billion in savings for seniors next year alone and $100 billion in total taxpayer savings over 10 years.

Thankfully, Trump knows how to negotiate. With his leadership, Medicare negotiation could be just the start of a larger effort to earn a better deal for Americans on prescription drugs. This issue presents an enormous opportunity for the president to bolster his legacy by protecting and expanding the government’s ability to crack down on corrupt lobbyists and special interests and allow the government to negotiate directly with drug manufacturers to lower prescription drug prices for the American people.

This issue is not new to Trump, who has long railed against the corruption and greed in the pharmaceutical industry. He recognizes that “we pay, as a country, so much more for drugs because of the drug lobbies,” whom he says are “getting away with murder.” Trump’s solution?

“Tougher negotiation [and] more competition [will lead to] much lower prices,” he said.

US_ Where Pope Leo XIV Stands on Abortion, Gender Ideology

Where Pope Leo XIV Stands on Abortion, Gender Ideology

By Mark Swanson | Thursday, 08 May 2025 08:38 PM EDT


Newly elected Pope Leo XIV has a documented record on many controversial issues that could indicate where he'll try to position the Roman Catholic Church in the years to come, the New York Post reported Thursday.

Pope Francis rocked the church in December 2023 when he issued formal permission to Catholic priests to bless same-sex couples, provided it's not the rite of marriage.

Based on a 2012 address to bishops, Leo would likely bring the church back in line. In that speech, Cardinal Robert Prevost accused the media of fostering "sympathy for beliefs and practices that are at odds with the Gospel." He cited the "homosexual lifestyle" and "alternative families comprised of same-sex partners and their adopted children," according to the Post.

Also, Prevost shot down a government initiative to promote gender ideology in schools while he was bishop of Chiclayo in northwestern Peru.

"The promotion of gender ideology is confusing, because it seeks to create genders that don't exist," he told media outlets at the time.

On abortion, Prevost posted a photograph from a March For Life event in Chiclayo with the exhortation, "Let's defend human life at all times!" That includes a push against euthanasia, based on a 2016 repost of a tweet against assisted suicides in Belgium, according to the report.

In regards to capital punishment, Prevost said in a 2015 post, "It's time to end the death penalty."

The new Pope is aligned with the previous Pope on climate change. In November, Prevost said it is time to move "from words to action" on the "environmental crisis," the Post reported. "Dominion over nature" should not become "tyrannical," Prevost added.
