Winning Bigly: Tariff Receipts Top $16
Billion in April
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 5/12/2025 7:23:50 PM
No, we're still not tired of winning yet. The numbers are in, and we learned on Monday that April's income from customs duties - mostly tariffs - is breaking records, topping $16 billion. That is, as someone once said, a big freaking deal. Receipts from U.S. tariffs hit a record level in April as revenue from President Donald Trump’s trade war started kicking in. Customs duties totaled $16.3 billion for the month, some 86% above the $8.75 billion collected during March and more than double the $7.1 billion a year ago, the Treasury Department reported Monday.

Carrier announced on Tuesday that it plans to invest $1 billion in U.S. manufacturing over the next five years, which is expected to create about 4,000 jobs.
Carrier, described as a “global leader in intelligent climate and energy solutions,” announced the additional investment in a press release, which includes an expansion of “manufacturing, innovation and workforce expansion.”
“The investment is expected to create 4,000 highly skilled jobs in R&D, manufacturing and field service,” the press release revealed.
An illegal alien is linked to a violent gang rape of a 16-year-old girl in Harris County, Texas, in 2022, the United States Marshals Service has revealed.
David Argueta-Marquez, a 29-year-old illegal alien from El Salvador, has been arrested by U.S. Marshals in Kimper, Kentucky, on charges of aggravated kidnapping and aggravated sexual assault of a child.
“The U.S. Marshals Service for the Southern District of West Virginia is proud to be part of the collaborative effort to remove violent, illegal aliens from our country,” agency official Michael Baylous said in a statement.
Democrat Rep. Shiri Thanedar (MI) has introduced a resolution to force a chamber-wide impeachment vote against President Trump.
Thanedar introduced “his impeachment resolution as privileged on Tuesday afternoon, meaning leaders have two days of the House in session to take up the legislation,” per Fox News.
No House Republicans have signaled support for the measure, and leaders could potentially keep lawmakers from voting on impeachment at all.
When deeming his resolution privileged, Thanedar said the president “has unlawfully conducted himself, bringing shame to the presidency and the people of the United States,” while calling the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) a “flagrantly unconstitutional creation.”
Democrats have not backed the impeachment resolution,
Outgoing Acting US Attorney for DC and now incoming Pardon Attorney, Ed Martin said on Tuesday that the Justice Department is reviewing Joe Biden’s last-minute pardons amid the growing autopen scandal.
Per CBS News: In news conference just now, outgoing U.S. Attorney for DC Ed Martin says Justice Dept is reviewing some of the last minute pardons issued by President Biden.
Martin wouldn’t comment when asked if he’d launched investigation into members of House Jan 6 Select Cmte, but said pardons “need scrutiny”
Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) has quickly become one of America’s top members of Congress thanks to his outstanding voting record and humorous put-downs of leftist anchors during hostile interviews. He once again went viral today after a liberal tried to ambush him on the streets of D.C. regarding the massive piece of legislation introduced yesterday by Congress that will enact a considerable chunk of President Trump’s agenda.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, House Republicans on the Ways and Means Committee—led by Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO)—released the text of a monumental new tax reform package titled “The One, Big, Beautiful Bill.”
The rate at which President Trump is moving his agenda forward and taking executive action is astounding. Trump is regularly accomplishing in one week what a White House used to be satisfied with accomplishing in one month. This past week is a perfect example. President Trump announced a new trade deal with both the U.K. and China, brokered an in person meeting between Russia and Ukraine, de-escalated a possible catastrophic war between India and Pakistan, secured the release of the final American being held hostage by Hamas, and is taking on big pharma in an effort to lower drug prices.
President Trump is setting a new standard
Former Hawaii Rep. and current Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard—who left the Democrat party in October ’24 to become a Republican and join the Trump train—continues to make her mark as she on Tuesday fired the top officials leading the National Intelligence Council because she alleges they are fierce Dem partisans.
Whistleblowers describe the officials as "radically opposed to Trump" who go out of their way to block his agenda.
Gabbard fired Mike Collins, who was serving as the acting chair of the National Intelligence Council, and his deputy, Maria Langan-Riekhof, Tuesday, senior intelligence officials told Fox News Digital.
We're still not tired of winning. In the latest, a Turkish company, Mega Metal, is planning to open a 91,000 square foot facility in South Carolina to manufacture a specific, specialized copper wire used in electronics and semiconductors.
The plant is expected to employ more than a hundred local workers.
A Turkey-based copper wire manufacturer announced on Tuesday it is investing $34 million in South Carolina to establish a 91,000-square-foot facility that will manufacture superfine electrolytic oxygen-free (EOF) copper wire in Fairfield County.
Mega Metal, which has more than 700 employees and distributes products to more than 30 countries, said the project will create 135 new jobs.
There's petty...and then there's party. The Democrats, as much as they may be in disarray of late, are nothing if not pros at lock-step voting, and they've shown that once again, blocking the confirmation vote of President Donald Trump's nominee as Ambassador to the Vatican.
Trump announced he would nominate CatholicVote president Brian Burch for the role in late December. In early May, Burch cleared the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations on a party-line vote, setting up a vote by the full Senate.
In the meantime, Pope Leo XIV was named as the successor to Pope Francis, and his installation is set for this weekend.
Did he just say that? Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), the leader of House Democrats who are really Temu Obama, appears to have threatened federal law enforcement when asked about potential charges being slapped against his members over a failed attempt to storm an ICE detention facility in Newark, New Jersey last week.
He said that law enforcement will “find out” if the Department of Homeland Security does proceed to arrest these House Democrats. What does that mean, sir? Also, if a Republican said this during Biden’s term, the National Guard would’ve been deployed.
The days of rogue district court judges hijacking executive authority may finally be numbered. On Thursday, the Supreme Court is set to hear arguments in a consolidated case, Trump v. CASA, which challenges lower court rulings that blocked President Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to illegal immigrants. Despite the constitutional authority granted to the executive branch on immigration matters, three district judges issued sweeping nationwide injunctions halting the order. Now, the highest court may have the chance to rein in judicial overreach and restore balance between the branches of government.
Since President Trump began his second term,
In 1974, President Richard Nixon gifted Egyptian President Anwar Sadat a Sikorsky VH-3A Sea King helicopter similar to Marine One. After chain-smoking first lady Pat Nixon asked Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai for a cigarette and commented on how cute the pandas were in his special pack, Zhou gifted them two giant pandas. The Nixons also received a set of crown jewels. Azerbaijan gifted Hillary and Bill Clinton a priceless handmade rug with their images on it. President Reagan received a white horse from Mexico. And on and on it goes.
Now, everyone is having a conniption fit over President Trump possibly receiving a 747 jetliner

LOS ANGELES — Democratic National Committee Vice Chair David Hogg said Friday that Democrats have to figure out how to grow their party in order to help younger people pay their bills and focus on having fun and sex. He told comedian Bill Maher during an appearance on the “Real Time” show that assisting younger people with getting by will allow them to “focus on what young people should be focused on.” (snip) “Young people should be able to focus on what young people should be focused on, which is how to get laid and how to go and have fun,” the vice chair continued.
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has taken steps towards removing gun control activist and Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting survivor David Hogg as vice chairman.
On Monday, the credentials committee of the DNC voted 13-2 to void the election results from February in which Hogg and Pennsylvania state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta (D) were elected to serve as co-vice chairmen of the DNC, according to the New York Times. The vote comes as Hogg is reportedly planning to “spend up to $20 million” to fund “primary campaigns against incumbent Democrats.”
Per the outlet, the decision from the credentials committee came after “three hours of internal debate and one tie vote,”
Restaurants on Lower Broadway have shut down due to fears of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)’s presence in Nashville.
Fox 17 reported that at least two restaurants closed last weekend due to the rumored presence of law enforcement.
“It’s just creating this general sense of fear all the time,” said a manager to Fox 17. “There were rumors flying around about ICE being on Lower Broadway. It was credible enough that we had to close the restaurant because back-of-house staff had to leave. Everyone split.”
Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg held a town hall in the influential early-contest state of Iowa on Tuesday, potentially fueling added speculation about another presidential run for the prominent Democrat. Buttigieg held the town hall with VoteVets, a progressive political action committee advocating on issues like national security and veterans’ care, in Cedar Rapids, marking the first time he’s been back to Iowa since the end of the Biden administration. The former 2020 presidential candidate noted that he’s not currently a public official, nor is he actively running for office and called on officials to take part in more events

David Hogg, who emerged as a gun control advocate and political activist after he survived the horrible 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Florida, has shaken up the Democrat party and caused intense navel-gazing and infighting among the ranks. You see, after the 25-year-old was voted in as vice chair of the Democratic National Committee, he continued to agitate and raise money for party candidates who were challenging Dem incumbents—in effect, going directly against the DNC’s core mission.
Now some want him gone, and on Monday night, they took action [snip] Hogg isn’t taking it well
In his latest proposal to end the war in Ukraine, former President Donald Trump reportedly offered Vladimir Putin a dangerous concession: de jure recognition of Russia’s annexation of Crimea. The proposal appears to accept the idea that Crimea was once part of Russia and that returning it to Russia would restore historical justice.
This logic is not just politically reckless, it is historically and legally indefensible. It echoes the imperial narrative Putin himself has long advanced: that modern Russia is the rightful heir to the entire Russian Empire[snip]
Crimea was never part of Russia, and the Russian Federation is not a successor to the entire Russian Empire.
An incendiary trend involving laptops and fueled by social media has gripped various school kids across the U.S., sparking fires, warnings, and juvenile criminal charges. Several teenagers have been tampering with their school-issued Google Chromebooks by inserting objects capable of conducting electricity into the laptops’ charging ports, causing the laptops to short-circuit and burn, according to authorities. The illegal act is also a social media trend, they said.
Joe Biden Was Senile? Who Knew?
13 replies
Who didn’t? I was on Australian television during the 2020 election campaign, and casually mentioned that Joe Biden was senile. Rita Panahi was startled and said, “Wait, what? Joe Biden is senile?” I explained that this was why he was running a basement campaign rather than putting on campaign events like Donald Trump did. It seemed obvious at the time.
Biden’s debility became increasingly clear over the four years of his term. The videos of Biden being unable to speak without a teleprompter, being unable to read a teleprompter, falling down, wandering about, speaking inappropriately in various ways, were legion.
Oh, my GAWD -this is getting so good.
I mean, to the point where there's no 'Republic of Alberta...YET,' good.
The morning after the country went to the polls, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith laid down the law to newly elected Canadian Prime Minister and WEF/Davos climate cult toadie Mark Carney that she - meaning Alberta - wasn't going to stand for any NetZero nonsense out of Ottawa. They'd quite had their fill, thank you.
Last week, President Donald Trump fired Dr. Carla Hayden as Librarian of Congress. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt explained why in a press briefing: [video]
One of Hayden’s moves was to allow entertainer Lizzo to play James Madison’s crystal flute in 2022. At the time, Lizzo was wearing next to nothing, and she twerked while holding the 200-year-old musical instrument. [Video]
On Monday, staff prevented Assistant Attorney General Todd Blanche, Trump’s appointee to head the Library of Congress, from doing his job. The Post Millennial reports:
Blanche sent two Justice Department Officials over to the Library of Congress on Monday with a letter
In the weeks surrounding President Trump’s inauguration, America’s propaganda press relentlessly cited leftist claims that 15,000 trans-identifying individuals would be booted from the military under the new commander-in-chief. The insinuation, of course, was that such a move would harm “military readiness” and the country’s national security.
In a statement to The Federalist, a Defense Department official said that, as of February, there are “approximately 4,200 Active-duty, Guard and Reserve service members currently serving diagnosed with gender dysphoria” throughout the armed forces. The total is roughly the same that was announced by the agency in February.
