SOMEONE’S GOING TO HAVE TO PAY A LOT FOR YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY (The Daily Signal)
In just nine years, the oldest Gen Xers will reach Social Security’s normal retirement age of 67. But they will have a rude awakening when they learn that the program’s trust fund is empty, leaving… pic.twitter.com/j3l0osvxc2
, leaving it able to pay out only as much in benefits as it takes from the paychecks of those then working. That’s straight from the Social Security trustees 2024 report.
It also notes that without congressional action, benefits will have to be cut by 21% across the board—including for those already retired—beginning in 2033. Cuts or Taxes For the average beneficiary, who receives about $22,000 a year from Social Security, that 21% cut will translate into a loss of $4,600 per year.
As Social Security benefits will grow faster than payroll taxes for the foreseeable future, benefit cuts will reach 31% at the end of the trustees’ 75-year projections. Simply maintaining currently scheduled Social Security benefits would require large tax increases.
The program’s trustees estimate that payroll taxes would have to rise immediately from 12.4% to 15.7%, adding $2,500 to the median household’s annual Social Security taxes. Even that projected hike may be too conservative.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates that a 17.5% tax, or an extra $3,800 per year for the median family, is necessary to maintain current Social Security benefits. Full article:
BREAKING: April CPI inflation rate falls to 3.4%, in-line with expectations of 3.4%.
Core CPI inflation was 3.6%, in-line with expectations of 3.6%.
This marks the 37th consecutive month with inflation above 3%.
Can the Fed really cut rates now?

Case in point: monthly mortgage payment on a median price home is up an eye-watering 114.5% from Jan '21 – that's an extra $13,300 per year for the same house; over a 30-yr mortgage, that's almost $400k; if you didn't get a monster raise, have fun renting forever… https://t.co/TiQlxUv8TFpic.twitter.com/yZ5lHpUnO4
So the next calculation will probably bring inflation down because they are leaving out coffee, it will effect the calculation, they need to show the people that inflation is coming down, so this will lead up to the rate cut. In reality inflation isn't actually coming down, people will see this.
BlackRock positioned massive investment assets inside Chinese auto manufacturers, MG, BYD, and Chery. The three Chinese companies are in the process of moving North American auto manufacturing to Mexico, specifically to make EVs. The Chinese EVs made in Mexico will come into the U.S market tariff free under the USMCA trade agreement. China and BlackRock will make billions.
Today, Joe Biden announced a series of tariffs against China in the EV industry. [SEE HERE] The Chinese EVs are not being made in China. The tariff regime is a farce – a total joke.
WHITE HOUSE […] To further encourage China to eliminate the acts, policies, and practices at issue – and to counteract the burden or restriction of these acts, policies, and practices – the Trade Representative shall modify the two actions to increase section 301 ad valorem rates of duty for the following products from China:
Battery parts (non-lithium-ion batteries): Increase rate to 25 percent in 2024
Electric vehicles: Increase rate to 100 percent in 2024
Lithium-ion electrical vehicle batteries: Increase rate to 25 percent in 2024
Lithium-ion non-electrical vehicle batteries: Increase rate to 25 percent in 2026
Natural graphite: Increase rate to 25 percent in 2026
Other critical minerals: Increase rate to 25 percent in 2024 (read more)
.
None of this stuff is coming from China. It is all coming from Mexico via transnational shipping and Chinese manufacturing in Mexico. [Check Date]
Mexican built Chinese EVs would pass into the USA market under current USMCA trade rules and regulations, as long as they technically meet the material origination rules. This can make tariffs against the Chinese imported EVs a moot point, because China will be making them in Mexico (North American trade agreement).
One of the reasons President Trump said the U.S. auto industry would suffer a “bloodbath,” is specifically because the current Chinese auto companies are targeting these EVs in the $10,000 or less range. If you want to see what it looks like when cheap Chinese EVs start to flood a consumer market, visit Russia – the Western sanctions have only increased this flow. I can see it clear as day.
China plans to pump out thousands of cheap, what I would consider semi-disposable, electric cars into the USA market. That’s why they have invested so heavily in Mexico. Keep in mind, BlackRock (a Biden benefactor investment firm) is enmeshed with this Chinese move.
This tariff claim, by the Biden administration on “import Chinese EVs”, is optics only for political benefit. Whereas, the 100% tariffs proposed by Donald Trump specifically target Chinese EVs made in Mexico.

Two months ago, Special Counsel Dave Weiss retaliated against Hunter Biden IRS whistleblowers Supervisory Special Agent Gary Shapley and Special Agent Joseph Ziegler by falsely suggesting they were under investigation by a government agency.
Weiss began retaliating against the whistleblowers in 2022, however, the special counsel filed a court document two months ago and falsely claimed Shapley and Ziegler were under investigation for potential misconduct.
Dave Weiss redacted information related to his claims against the whistleblowers under the guise of an “ongoing investigation.”
Mayor Eric Adams has once again ignited controversy with his latest comments on the city’s lifeguard shortage. The mayor has suggested that illegal immigrants could be the solution to New York City’s staffing woes, specifically because “they’re excellent swimmers.”
“How do we have a large body of people that are in our city, our country, that are excellent swimmers and at the same time we need lifeguards — and the only obstacle is that we won’t give them the right to work to become a lifeguard,” the mayor said. “That just doesn’t make sense.”
Mayor Adams didn’t stop at lifeguards. He extended his unconventional recruitment strategy to the healthcare sector, suggesting that any illegal alien who claims nursing experience should be fast-tracked into hospital positions to combat the city’s nursing crisis.
Kinney County, Texas, one of several American border communities, has seen criminal prosecutions explode as illegal immigration has hit record levels on President Joe Biden’s watch.
During a House Budget Committee hearing last week, Kinney County Attorney Brent Smith told lawmakers that in 2020, under former President Donald Trump, the county reported just 134 criminal charges for prosecution.
After Biden “issued multiple executive orders, revoking numerous border security policies,” Smith said criminal charges for prosecution skyrocketed in 2021 to nearly 3,000, roughly 6,800 in 2022, and more than 5,800 in 2023.
This indicates that from 2020 to 2022, Kinney County saw criminal charges for prosecution increase by almost 5,000 percent, and from 2020 to 2023, increase by more than 4,200 percent.
“Kinney County normally operates within a $6 million-dollar annual budget,” Smith told lawmakers:
However, the open border policies enacted by the Biden administration has required the county to significantly expand the capacities of our local criminal justice system, costing Texas taxpayers an additional 10.5 million dollars. [Emphasis added]

He doesn't even know what he's wearing …
He's protesting with a mask on and has no idea what's going on.
National Students For Justice in Palestine (NSJP) and allied organizations used an encrypted messaging app to distribute a document instructing protesters on how to use physical force to stop police officers from making arrests, the Daily Caller News Foundation found.
“Popular University 4 Gaza” is a Telegram channel with over 8,000 subscribers and is run by members of NSJP, Palestinian Youth Movement and Writers Against the War on Gaza, according to a post on X, formerly Twitter. The channel’s admins distributed a document called the “De-Arrest Primer” on April 26 that provides tactics for resisting arrest, sometimes through violent means.
One tactic for obstructing arrests laid out in the document requires “pulling/pushing an officer off an arrestee and/or breaking their grip.” The document warns readers that the tactic can be “risky as it requires physical contact with an officer which could lead to assault on an officer charges.”
Freeing protesters from arrest can often be “well worth the risks,” as being arrested “can have drastic negative life altering affects [sic.], especially for targeted populations like people who aren’t white, Muslims, LGBTQ people and certain radicals,” the document argues.
Protesters are also taught to “hug” an arrestee from behind to pull them away from law enforcement, wrestle with police officers, open patrol car doors to free detained suspects and surround officers to demand they let arrested protesters go free.
“Who keeps us safe? We keep us safe! Learn these tactics to protect your comrades,” the text accompanying a link to the guide reads. It is unclear who authored the document.

No longer would white and Asian applicants be passed over because they didn’t meet an organization’s arbitrary criteria for diversity, nor would unqualified applicants be admitted or employed and immediately fail afterward because they lacked the prerequisite skills and experience.
Sadly, affirmative action wouldn’t go away that easily. As a recent report from Renu Mukherjee at the Manhattan Institute shows, the American Bar Association (ABA) and New York State Bar Association (NYSBA) have flouted the SFFA by encouraging “law schools and law firms to ignore the Court’s holding” and “continue granting admissions preferences to black and Hispanic applicants using methods that are race-neutral in theory but race-conscious in practice.”
To this end, the ABA and NYSBA proceeded to launch a series of online workshops that would help guide law schools in identifying minority applicants in order to “foster racial and ethnic diversity in the absence of affirmative action.” According to Mukherjee, the main way to do this was “tying [the applicant’s race] to ‘a non-racial goal or value being pursued by the university’” so that “if the school faces a legal challenge, administers can argue that any preference granted to URMs [underrepresented minorities] is not based on race itself but instead on their ‘lived experiences.’”
For those familiar with the application process, none of this is exactly subtle. There are a number of ways to determine a person’s race without asking him directly, and it doesn’t take a DEI expert to spell it out. For law schools and colleges, it’s primarily a matter of ditching test scores and asking applicants to write essays about their personal backgrounds.

Democrat Manhattan Judge Juan Merchan, who donated to Biden and another anti-Trump cause, must recuse under New York law (per a former Clinton federal judge in New York).
Merchan's adult daughter Loren Merchan, a top Democrat fundraiser and consultant, has raised millions of dollars off her father's unprecedented trial of Trump. Judge Merchan has threatened to jail Trump for mentioning this.
The prior Manhattan DA, the Manhattan U.S. Attorney, the Federal Election Commission, and even current Soros-funded Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg himself declined to bring charges against Trump based upon this bogus legal theory–which they will not even tell the criminal defendant four weeks into his trial.
Then Matthew Colangelo, a senior Biden Justice Department political appointee and former DNC political consultant and Obama White House and Justice Department political appointee, got deployed to Bragg's office to bring charges against a former and likely future President for the first time in American history.
Judge Merchan has threatened to jail Trump for mentioning this. Disbarred attorney, serial perjurer, and convicted Michael Cohen, who is angry Trump didn't make him a senior White House official, is peddling Cohen's new book and getting paid by TikTok to trash a criminal defendant.
When Trump responded, Democrat Manhattan Judge Juan Merchan–whose daughter is profiting from the trial–held Trump in contempt. And threatening to jail Trump for mentioning this. Bimbo porn star Stormy Daniels, who is peddling her porn site on Twitter, changed her story again, testified she hates Trump, and has trashed him regularly online during the trial.
If Trump responds, Judge Merchan has threatened to jail him. Bragg, Colangelo, and Merchan rigged the jury-selection process. The Manhattan jury pool voted 87% for Biden. They asked potential jurors if they follow Trump on social media. But they didn't ask if they follow Biden. Judge Merchan has threatened to jail Trump for mentioning this.

Q
(America First Report)—Joe Biden’s handlers trotted him in front of the camera to play one of his standard roles. They rolled out the angry old man on stimulants to sound tough so they could piece together tiny snippets into a debate challenge.
The dates proposed were June and September. Having the first debate next month is conspicuous and bodes ill for Biden.
Trump expressed his readiness for the debates, criticizing Biden’s debating skills and presidency. He also mentioned his willingness to participate despite concerns about the commission’s impartiality.
The Biden-Harris campaign suggested the first debate take place in late June, after Trump’s New York trial and Biden’s G7 summit visit. A second debate was proposed for early September, prior to the start of early voting, with a vice presidential debate in late July following the Republican vice presidential nomination.
It’s a Trap!
there is no viable reason for an incumbent resident to want an early summer debate. There are usually three fall debates to maximize viewership,
For Trump, the dates work to fit around the lawfare being waged against him. This makes sense even as the trials themselves do not. But for Biden, the reason to propose such an early debate is ominous.
If they’re able to pump him full of enough stimulants to make him appear lucid for an hour or two, then there’s a chance he could actually continue to be the Democrat nominee. But in the likely event that he bombs from his severe lack of mental acuity, Democrats will have the predicate to replace him and the time to get their new candidate on most ballots.
In other words, Joe Biden is walking into what will likely be his political swan song. Whether he knows it or not, he’s being tested and he’s not expected to pass.
