The SAVE Act of 2025

The House just passed The SAVE Act.

Democrats have been sending out scary messages claiming this would make it impossible for married women to vote, because our birth certificates don’t match our married names. This is a Big Fat Lie!

The SAVE Act specifies a long list of acceptable forms of “documentary proof of United States citizenship” that will be acceptable for a voter to register. The number one is a driver’s license. Note: Every state has a procedure for getting a new driver’s license after a legal name change.

Only four Democrats voted in support of the bill, including Rep. Henry Cuellar (TX), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA), Jared Golden (ME), and Ed Case (HI). The photo above provides inside information into why Dems don’t want to limit us to “one living citizen, one valid vote”

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We ask today for an extra dose of courage. Whatever challenges we face, keep us strong in faith, trusting in Your power and Your love to carry us through. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

BORDER: The Supreme Court has lifted a court order blocking President Trump from deporting Venezuelans under rarely used 1798 wartime law.

DOGE: The US African Development Foundation has terminated $51 million in grants, including: $229,296 for marketing 100% organic shea butter in Burkina Faso; $84,059 for a business incubator for spa & wellness entrepreneurs in Nigeria; $239,738 for marketing pineapple juice in Benin; $246,217 for mango drying facilities in the Ivory Coast; $99,566 to increase yogurt production in Uganda; $48,406 for a WhatsApp marketing chatbot in Kenya; and $50,000 to train farmers to grow dragonfruit in Senegal.

I saw some comments about these being worthy causes. The problem is that, when you’re in debt, your extra money belongs to your creditors. It is not yours to give away, regardless of how worthy the cause. The USA is trillions of dollars in debt.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We ask you for the wisdom to know what You want us to say, the courage to speak when what You want said may be unpopular, and the serenity to keep our pie holes shut when now is not Your time. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

ELECTION INTEGRITY: Thanks to years of work by Judicial Watch, more than five million ineligible voter registrations have been removed from the rolls in California, Colorado, Kentucky, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Other voter roll clean-up lawsuits by Judicial Watch continue in Illinois, Oregon, and California.

FIGHT: [9:10] – “Fight is the backstage story of bloodsport politics in its rawest form—the clawing, backstabbing, and rabble-rousing that drove Donald Trump into the White House and Democrats into the wilderness. At every turn, the combatants went for the jugular, whether they were facing down rivals in the other party or their own.”

IGNORANCE: Grandpa is rolling in his grave that his offspring think Trump is a fascist. Grandpa also knew how to spell “fascist.” But hey, kudos for the cute reference to Harry Potter.

J6 COMMITTEE: Biden gave them all a presidential pardon. If they did everything right, why did they need to be pardoned?

JOBS: During Biden’s years, the jobs reports were consistently lower than the predictions. Then, later on, they had to revise their reported numbers down even more, because they had inflated the reports. The opposite is now true. The newest March jobs report exceeded expectations by more than 50%. And they didn’t even need to fudge the numbers to do it.

SCOTUS: The Supremes have granted Trump permission to continue withholding $250 million in Department of Education grants that would fund diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.

GRAMMY NOTES: My heart breaks for this little one. My mother couldn’t get 3 seats together on a flight, so decided I (age 11) should sit alone with a stranger while she enjoyed the company of her favorite child (age 21). The stranger spilled boiling hot coffee on me and said nothing except to demand a refill from the attendant. I am 70 now and this memory still hurts. I can’t imagine how this little girl felt, riding all alone in the BAGGAGE CAR! I can only hope she had a kind attendant like the one who put cold water on my burned leg and helped me feel better.

This week at DOGE

DOGE: The savings live tracker is a very welcome change from the anxiety-inducing Debt Clock!

MARCH 28, 2025: Over the last 3 days, agencies terminated 121 wasteful contracts saving We The Taxpayers $156 million. These included a $1.6 Million DEI contract for “strategies for implementing ‘social emotional’ learning” and a $143,000 DOT contract for “social media support services.”

MARCH 31, 2025: A 2023 IG report (title page above) pointed out that nearly $5 Billion in COVID era funds remained unused. Nobody did anything about it. DOGE recently recovered $1.4 Billion and it to the Treasury general account. The team is moving urgently to get the rest.

MARCH 31, 2025: Today, agencies canceled 109 wasteful contracts, saving We the Taxpayers $420 million. One of these was a $2.7 Million Commerce Department contract for “marketing consulting services outreach and engagement support services.”

EPA: CLICK https://x.com/epaleezeldin/status/1906776086412767560 [2:10] to hear how much money the Biden administration wasted on one extraordinarily stupid project. CLICK the Wikipedia link below to read about the man the museum lionized.

USIP: Each year, the United States Institute of Peace (USIP) receives $55 Million in congressional (taxpayer) funds. According to DOGE, they would sweep millions of this money into a private endowment over which there was no congressional oversight). Trump vowed to dismantle the agency and sent DOGE in. A private accountant to whom USIP had paid $2,232,500 attempted to delete over 1 Terabyte of accounting data after DOGE entered the building. DOGE has recovered the data which allowed them to learn how much waste and fraud they wanted to hide. Among these was $13 Million spent on private events and travel.

SOCIAL SECURITY: DOGE has been cleaning out the data base. The graphic shows the people over 120 years who had been correctly marked as deceased as of March 31. Two million more to go.

APRIL 2, 2025: Today, agencies terminated 80 wasteful contracts, saving We the Taxpayers another $139.1 Million. One of these was $2.1 Million State Department management consulting contract for a “senior advisor” in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

VETERAN AFFAIRS: Until recently, the VA was paying ~$380,000/month for minor website modifications. That contract has not been renewed and the same work is now being performed by one internal VA software engineer who needs about ten hours per week to keep the website up-to-date.

APRIL 2, 2025: Today, agencies cancelled 47 wasteful contracts, saving We the Taxpayers another $30.2 million. One of these was a $3.4 million State Department management consulting contract for “aviation advisors” in Kenya.

LABOR DEPARTMENT: On April 3, Acting Secretary Sonderling announced the cancellation of wasteful DEI contracts that will save We the Taxpayers $15 million. Among these were:

  1. $6.7 Million for the California State Library to “enhance equitable library programs”;
  2. $1.5 Million for the Connecticut State Library system to “integrate social justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion” into their daily work;
  3. $400,000 for the University of Tennessee to study “LGBTQ+ library users’ metadata”;
  4. $265,000 for Queens College in New York to research “why BIPOC teens” read Japanese comic books;
  5. $250, 000 to erect “LGBTQ+ historical markers” across Ohio;
  6. $140,000 for the University of South Carolina to create “safe spaces for LGBTQIA+ individuals” in libraries; and,
  7. $105,000 to California Association of Museums to address “systemic racism” in museums.

APRIL 4, 2025: The DOGE IT team just saved We the Taxpayers $1 million per year by converting 14,000 magnetic tapes (70 yr old technology for information storage) to permanent, modern digital records.

Tariffs

Trump’s tariffs are causing a temporary dip in the stock market. If tariffs are so bad, why aren’t they upset about all these nations that impose them on our products? In other news, Trump’s plan is already working as intended. Israel, India, the EU, Japan, Vietnam, and Cambodia all plan to drop tariffs if Trump agrees to do the same.

Liz Wheeler posted the following on X –

Maybe just maybe you’ve been propagandized about tariffs by the same uniparty elitists who imposed deadly open borders on you.

If your reaction to tariffs is “oh no, it’s basically a tax, stuff is gonna get more expensive” — then buckle up.

Here’s the truth about tariffs.

At the onset of “global free trade” we were told three things:

  1. Trading with China, NAFTA, & globalization would promote “democracy” around the world.
  2. Products would be cheaper.
  3. Life would be better.

Well, the first thing sure didn’t happen. The communist Chinese are as despotically authoritarian & inhumane as ever. And look at the EU crackdown on speech, or our own govt weaponized against us—sheesh.

Products did get cheaper—what at what cost?

We were promised that our qualify of life would be improved by cheap products— but did it? Nope. The opposite happened.

In fact, millions of Americans lost their jobs. To be specific, between 2000 and 2017, 5.5 million American manufacturing jobs left the country.

That means millions of Americans—mostly men—were suddenly out of work.

And what happened? What happens when the jobs are gone? When men want to provide for their families but can’t? When men lose the dignity of work?

As we soon found out, many of these men turned to drugs—drugs that are readily available in this country thanks to the “free trade” politicians who deliberately left our borders open & then turned a blind eye to the trafficking of deadly fentanyl across our border from the very countries—China, Mexico, Canada—we were supposed to benefit from trading with.

Between 1999 and 2021, more than 640,000 Americans died from an opioid overdose.

Why?

Because entire communities — places like where Vice President JD Vance is from — were hollowed out as their manufacturing jobs were shipped overseas. And then the same countries who stole our jobs sent fentanyl across our borders to kill us.

Tariffs not only stop impertinent countries from taking advantage of us—which is a big deal. Tariffs will stop the flow of fentanyl into our neighborhood—which is a moral imperative. If countries don’t stop sending drugs—they get slapped with crushing tariffs.

President Trump understands leverage and knows these tariffs will force such countries to crack down.

And let’s talk about cheap products. Is the trade—pun intended—worth it? Is a lead-poisoned purse from SHEIN for two bucks worth surrendering our supply chains to foreign nations that hate us? Do you want to rely on China for antibiotics? Do you think it’s smart to rely on Taiwan for semiconductors? Think of the empty shelves in grocery stores during Covid. Our supply chains are FRAGILE. It’s a national security threat to rely on foreign countries for things our families need. Tariffs help bring back manufacturing & reliance to our own country, our own states, our own communities.

Other countries will cave. They have to. They rely on the American economy too much to refuse Trump. And they can’t wait him out—he’s President for four years.

Trump is the perfect person to use tariffs as the means to an end—an actual better quality of life, security and prosperity for the American people that we were promised by the lying elitists that Trump is now reclaiming for you.

In summary, I love tariffs. Stop freaking out. This is gonna be awesome.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We pray that one day all people come to faith in Yeshua Messiah. Amen.

FAKE NEWS: Heads up, friends. The entire “Elite Stories” YouTube channel @ https://www.youtube.com/@EliteStoriesYT is FICTION that is presented as serious “news” type reporting of “real” events. It seems to be designed specifically to spread fake news to conservatives, maybe so we’ll mindlessly pass it around and then get called on how “stupid” we are. Or maybe it’s just click bait made by some basement-dweller while noshing on Cheetos and sucking down Red Bull.

JUDGE BOASBERG: U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg is so dirty! – Boasberg is the judge who is trying to stop Trump’s deportation efforts. CLICK https://www.facebook.com/reel/656603713525344 to hear two reasons why he should have recused himself from this case.

Boasberg, the chief judge of the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., was appointed to the bench nearly 15 years ago by President Barack Obama. During his tenure on the FISA court, he authorized surveillance of certain members of Trump’s 2016 campaign.

After returning full-time to the federal bench, he declined to recuse himself from the sentencing of former FBI attorney Kevin Clinesmith, who had pleaded guilty to doctoring a 2017 email asking to extend FISA permission for the wiretapping of a member of the Trump campaign. Boasberg sentenced him to 12 months of probation and 400 hours of community service.

It will come as no surprise that he clerked for the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals before later joining the Justice Department as a federal prosecutor in Washington, D.C.

JUDGE REYES: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth joined the mounting criticism of federal judges by President Donald Trump on Saturday, mocking the judge who blocked a ban on transgender troops in the U.S. military and suggesting she had exceeded her authority.

NASA: A NASA spokesman said the astronauts who were trapped at the International Space Station since June 2024 have been classified as ‘on official travel orders as federal employees’, which got them a whopping $5 per day extra in their pay packets. CLICK https://x.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/1903117558498066781 [1:27] to hear Trump promise that, if NASA won’t give appropriate compensation, he’ll pay them out of his own pocket.

DAILY PRAYER: Lorelai is a relative of a relative. I’ll keep you posted as much as possible about her progress.

AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE: It’s too often true that the name Democrats give their bills tell us the opposite of what its provisions do if they are made into law. According to a new report by CBS News, “Health care is so expensive that 31 million U.S. adults, or 12%, had to borrow a total of $74 billion last year to obtain medical care, new data shows. That includes people with health insurance, making such numbers even more troubling.”

AIR: There are reasons why air crews should not be DEI’d by gender. Pilots should be predominantly male, because they are better at spatial awareness and single-mindedness; flight attendants should be predominantly female, because we are better at nurturing and multi-tasking.

AL GREEN: The House voted 224-198 to censure Texas Rep. Al Green for disrupting President Trump’s address to Congress by yelling and angrily shaking his cane. Security guards had to forcibly remove Green and 10 Democrats rightfully joined Republicans in the vote to censure.

But then the corrupt Democrats decided to sing “We Shall Overcome” to show their support for Green’s bad behavior. That song is about overcoming violence via peaceful protest. The second verse says, “We’ll walk hand in hand.” The third verse says, “We will live in peace.”

Breitbart says 80% of speech viewers polled also disapproved of his behavior. The Dems’ own John Fetterman (PA) called his colleagues put on “a sad cavalcade of self owns and unhinged petulance” that only made “Trump look more presidential and restrained.”

CATHOLIC: ❤ this!

DEMS: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/reel/2054254008329453 for a quick explanation of why these same people are so very angry at Elon Musk.

Trump v Zelenskyy – FAFO

CLICK https://www.theepochtimes.com/epochtv/live-trump-receives-zelenskyy-at-the-white-house-5817950 to see the full meeting.

As I understand it, Zelenskyy told Rubio he was ready to sign the mineral deal. Then, when he got to the Oval Office, he was disrespectful and demanding more, more, more. We gave him billion$ and he sneers and demands more? ::smh::

Speaking of disrespect … since when does a world leader show up at the Oval Office looking like it’s Casual Friday?! When one of my kids got the chance to meet Marine One on the South Lawn … a greet and grin that lasted less than ten minutes … she and her companions sweated bullets over getting their dress blues looking exactly right.

His dress was definitely an issue for others, too. When Zelenskyy arrived at the White House, Trump noted, “You’re all dressed up today. … He’s all dressed up today.” Later, a reporter asked, “Why don’t you wear a suit? Do you own a suit? You’re at the highest level in this country’s office and you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting this office.” Zelenskyy responded confidently, saying, “I will wear a costume when this war finishes. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.”

Apparently, Zelenskyy wears his “combat gear” everywhere, including to the re-opening of Notre Dame Cathedral. Methinks that is the “costume.” After the reporter’s comments, the ever-gracious Trump both said that he thinks the reporter is a good guy and that Zelenskyy’s outfit was fine. But … that was before Zelenskyy made it clear he was not there to sign a mineral trade agreement, but to demand more money and even troops!

The body language in these photos is very interesting. Top: Biden is tense, angry, and protecting his privates. I can only imagine that the real message Zelenskyy was delivering was, “We gave your useless, crack-head son million$ and we have the receipts. Pay up or we make it all public.” Bottom: Zelenskyy is angry and protecting himself, while Trump and Vance let him know, in no uncertain terms, that he hasn’t got diddly squat on them (and they don’t give a toot if he shows the world his receipts on the Biden crime family).

And speaking of body language, CLICK https://x.com/nicksortor/status/1895536974892843162 to see Ukraine’s ambassador. Ouch.

MAHA: The porky governor of Illinois tweeted, “RFK Jr’s views are dangerous, misguided, and deeply disturbing. Frankly, his policies will hurt people. I will push back on any attempts to disrupt the health and safety of Illinoisans.” Best response: “You don’t have to exert yourself to pushing back. You can just lean against it, that’ll suffice.”

MAINE: After Republican Rep. Laurel Libby sent out a social media post about the high school track team that only won the state championship because of the male who competed as a female, the Maine House’s Democratic majority voted to censure her. Libby is now no longer allowed to speak on the house floor or vote until she issues an apology. She says she does not plan to apologize.

Wikipedia’s article says about this incident: “Libby gained national attention after posting an unblurred photo of a transgender teen on Facebook criticizing both the underaged girl and the school for allowing her to participate with other female players.” The “girl” in question is 100% dude. He doesn’t look like he’s even socially transitioned, much less taken hormones!

The very first sentence in Wikipedia’s article on Libby says, “Laurel Dawson Munsell Libby is an American anti-vaccine activist, Republican politician.” Her big “anti-vaccine” position? Opposing a 2019 Maine law eliminating religious and philosophical exemptions for childhood vaccinations. She has also spoken out against COVID mandates (gasp) and even participated in a mask-mandate protest during which she and several of her colleagues entered the capitol building (double gasp) without masks.

PRESIDENTIAL APPROVALS: [26:18] – If you’ve heard about how Trump’s approvals are crashing, you might want to watch this. Keep in mind that Rasmussen had the best numbers during the campaign. Also, keep in mind that polls asking approval for what Trump has done so far with the border and government spending – the two biggest things he’s been working on – are polling at plus 70.

SOCIAL SECURITY: The SSA has made moves to eliminate DEI, waste, and fraud. The Office of Transformation and ties with DEI research centers are gone, moves that will save approximately $15 million. In addition, the Office of Analytics, Review, and Oversight into other existing parts of the agency.

Trump assured us that Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid benefits won’t be touched by his administration “other than if there’s fraud or something.” However, they are clearing the roles of people who are dead or here illegally.
