Bongino Sends Another Message,MAGA Is Gaining Support, Bigger Than Anyone Can ImagineClick On Picture To See Larger Picture

Thousands of workers at the IRS combined owe a total of nearly 50 million in overdue taxes. Trump’s tariffs are working, China is panicking and now they are making fun of American’s. Big Fail. Trump confirms the economic target,the Federal Reserve, it is time to end the endless. The [DS] says the quiet part out loud, they are working with AG to try to keep Trump in court for the next four years. Their plan is now failing which means they will be moving to the next phase. Trump’s counterinsurgency is building, the MAGA movement is gaining support. Bongino sends another message letting everyone know they are working behind the scenes. This is bigger than anyone can imagine.

 

Economy

  •  2,484 IRS contractor employees owed taxes, with 1,729 not on payment plans.
  • Despite the IRS’s authority to terminate employees who willfully fail to pay taxes, only 20 of the 70 agents identified as willfully avoiding taxes were terminated. And: Between 2004 and 2024, the IRS identified 1,650 IRS employees who willfully violated tax laws.
  • Offenses included improperly claiming dependents, repeatedly failing to file timely tax returns, and falsely claiming tax credits.
  • Despite a 1998 law mandating termination for such violations, only 39% of the 1,580 employees caught evading taxes between 2004-2013 were fired, resigned, or retired, while 61% received lesser penalties such as suspensions or reprimands. This, as Democrats demanded $80B for 87,000 more agents and workers to audit you to pay for record government overspending.
  • That’s now been cut to $38B.

      Canada has announced a temporary six-month relief from counter tariffs on U.S. goods used in manufacturing, processing, and food and beverage packaging, effective as of April 15, 2025. This measure aims to ease supply chain pressures and support Canadian industries by reducing costs for businesses reliant on these imports. The relief applies to goods that cannot be sourced domestically or reasonably from non-U.S. suppliers, and in cases where exceptional circumstances could severely impact the Canadian economy. 

     

    No, A 50% Tariff Doesn’t Mean A 50% Price-Hike

  • The tariff doomsday machine is roaring again.  This time, it’s over talk of a 50% tariff on certain imports.
  • Predictably, the panic-peddlers are out in force, warning that such a tariff means retail prices will skyrocket 50%.
  •  
  •   a tariff applies to the transaction value, not the final retail price.  The transaction value is what the importer pays the exporter, plus freight and insurance.  That cost is just the first step in a long supply chain.  By the time a product reaches the consumer, it’s been marked up to cover domestic shipping, warehousing, employee wages, utilities, sales tax, and profit margins for every hand it passes through.  The tariff is just one input among many.
  • Take a simple example.
  • A retailer imports a widget with a $100 transaction value.  Add a 50% tariff, and the cost to the importer becomes $150.  That importer then sells it wholesale — perhaps at $200 — to a retailer, who marks it up again to $300 for sale.  That $50 tariff is now 16.7% of the retail price.  Even if every penny of the tariff is passed along, you’re not looking at a 50% increase in retail price — you’re looking at something closer to 17%.
  • But   tariffs are not always fully passed on to the consumer.  Importers and retailers know they can’t raise prices beyond what the market will bear.  Sometimes they absorb part of the cost, cut expenses, renegotiate contracts, or shift to different suppliers.  The market reacts; it doesn’t just lie down and take it.
  •  Look at the real-world data.
  • The National Bureau of Economic Research analyzed the 2018–2019 U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods.  They found that for every 10% tariff, retail prices rose 1–2%.  So even a 50% tariff, if applied, might cause retail prices to edge up 5–10% — not 50%.  That’s a far cry from the alarmist headlines.

    •   didn’t enforce it. China largely reneged on the deal (although they behaved during the Trump Administration), only buying a portion of what they agreed to buy. They had ZERO respect for the Crooked Biden Administration, and who can blame them for that? Interestingly, they just reneged on the big Boeing deal, saying that they will “not take possession” of fully committed to aircraft. The USA will PROTECT OUR FARMERS!!!

    Arkansas Senate passes bill allowing gold to be used as a transactional currency for state matters

  • The Arkansas state Senate on Monday unanimously approved a bill that would allow the state to store gold and silver in a depository, which would be used as backing for electronic transactions.
  •  
  • The House bill, which has now passed both chambers, still needs to be signed by Arkansas GOP Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders. If Sanders does sign the bill, Arkansas would be the first state to formally accept gold and silver as electronic state currency.
  • A similar bill passed the Utah legislature, but was vetoed by Gov. Spencer Cox last week. Sanders is expected to sign the measure.

    DHS to Revoke Temporary Protected Status for Afghans, Cameroonians in US

  • Thousands of Afghans and Cameroonians living in the United States will have their temporary protected status (TPS) revoked in the coming months, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said on Monday.
  • DHS Secretary Kristi Noem has terminated TPS designations for Afghanistan and Cameroon as she determined that the countries’ current conditions no longer warrant protections, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in an emailed statement to The Epoch Times.
  • The decision will affect about 14,600 Afghans, who are set to lose their legal status in May, and approximately 7,900 Cameroonians, whose protected status will expire by June.
  • One of the student leaders of the pro-Hamas protests across the college campuses received a nasty surprise on Monday in the process of trying to become a U.S. citizen.
  •  , Columbia University student Mohsen Mahdawi, a U.S. permanent resident who was born and raised in the West Bank, was detained on Monday by the Department of Homeland Security during a citizenship interview in Vermont according to his lawyer Luna Droubi.
  • Mahdawi is accused of supporting Hamas terrorists and harassing people solely on their faith.
  • Droubi has filed a temporary restraining order, which details that Mahdawi moved to the United States in 2014. The filing also acknowledges Mahdawi, the co-founder of Columbia’s Palestinian Student Union, is a vocal critic of Israel defending itself against Hamas and organized protests at Columbia University until March 2024, before he stepped away for an unspecified reason.

    — knowing the massive mobilization of resources and enforcement operations to remove them would be extraordinarily daunting

    — while simultaneously relying on heavily funded leftwing legal groups and activist courts to delay, obstruct and impede deportations at every possible turn. And, of course, counting on legacy media to run interference for it all. Making it extraordinarily difficult to carry out mass removal of illegal aliens

    Envoy Steve Witkoff Gives Topline Review Following 5 Hour Meeting with Vladimir Putin

  • President Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff traveled to St Petersburg (interesting venue), and spent approximately 5 hours in discussion with Russian President Vladimir Putin and his top two advisors. 
  • First, President Putin would never give this much time to a non-principal in any geopolitical conversation, unless Putin felt he was directly talking to the principal through the voice in front of him.  In essence, Trump has told Putin that Witkoff is his mouth and ears,  the envoy of President Trump noted both Putin and Trump understand the core issues and are aligned to solve the problem despite the CIA and SSCI efforts to keep wedging them apart.  Additionally, Trump and Putin see a future where geopolitical and economic alignment can be very beneficial for both Russia and the United States; they just need to find a way to navigate the complex politics on the U.S/NATO side of the mess.
  •  the CIA apparatus is not going to give up power or control to President Trump without a fight.  Recently the CIA operated rotor wing (helicopter) drones to attack Moscow in order to provoke a useful response from Putin.  Despite the efforts of Donald Trump and Marco Rubio, both the CIA and State Dept embeds are operating to maintain their control in Ukraine.
  •   Putin is willing to go providing Trump room to negotiate these political land mines is increasingly clear within Putin’s nonresponse to the ongoing CIA provocations.

    Unsealed Crossfire Hurricane Docs Further Prove Russiagate Was A Hoax All Along

  •  The newly unsealed Crossfire Hurricane files indicate the FBI did this despite knowing such claims were unverified.
  •  the federal intel agencies launched one of the greatest witch hunts in U.S. history to cripple a dually elected president and undermine the will of the American people. And despite their best efforts, there is no amount of lying and whitewashing Democrats and complicit “journalists” can do to change that.

     -Dan- ensure the safety of the Homeland, continues.

    -I posted this last week but I want to reiterate it. The Director and I are working on a number of significant initiatives to ensure that the mistakes of the past are never repeated, and that many of your open questions are answered. We fully understand that some of the actions and initiatives we’ve taken may not immediately appear to fit into the puzzle. And that leaves a vacuum at times, filled by others. But accountability requires information, and people WITH information. I’ll say again, I’m NOT asking you to “trust me,” because I’m not in the “trust me” business. I’m in the “show me results” business.

    -Actions that aren’t immediately visible do not equate to inaction. And I’ll be candid here, it’s tough not being able to respond to critical or laudatory comments.

    But, that’s what I signed up for as an employee of the tax payer. I need to let the results speak for themselves on many of these matters because that’s what you’re paying me to do. I know you’ve been let down in the past. You’re owed better. And we’re going to produce it. God bless America, and all those who defend Her.

  • clandestine – He reiterates how things we cannot see are going on behind the scenes, and that he is frustrated about “not being able to respond to critical or laudatory comments”. Bongino is telling us as much as he can without telling us. He is letting us know that he hears the public backlash and outrage, and that he is going to deliver. He hears you. He knows the People demand accountability. He knows you want to know about Epstein, Butler, election fraud, Vegas, J6, Russiagate, and everything in between. Trump and his team are telling us that they are getting their ducks in a row. Whether you believe them or not is irrelevant. We all have no choice but to wait and see.
