The [DS]/[CB] green agenda is falling apart, everything they said the opposite is happening. Another solar company goes belly up. China is trying to skirt the tariffs, this will fail. The tariffs are working, companies are moving back. Trump messages that we are in a transition and soon the people will see the gold. The [DS] is going down the path that trump sent. They are now exposing their infiltration and people can now see the entrenched enemy. Trump and the patriots are playing the game and it had to be this way to show the people the criminal syndicate.

European Union To Ban Anonymous Crypto & Privacy Tokens By 2027

 

  • The European Union is set to impose sweeping Anti-Money Laundering (AML) rules that will ban privacy-preserving tokens and anonymous cryptocurrency accounts from 2027.
  • Under the new Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR), credit institutions, financial institutions and crypto asset service providers (CASPs) will be prohibited from maintaining anonymous accounts or handling privacy-preserving cryptocurrencies, such as Monero and Zcash.
  • “Article 79 of the AMLR establishes strict prohibitions on anonymous accounts […]. Credit institutions, financial institutions, and crypto-asset service providers are prohibited from maintaining anonymous accounts,” according to the AML Handbook, published by European Crypto Initiative (EUCI).

    •  

  • The regulation is part of a broader AML framework that includes bank and payment accounts, passbooks and safe-deposit boxes, “crypto-asset accounts allowing anonymisation of transactions,” and “accounts using anonymity-enhancing coins.”

    China Reroutes Targeted Goods to Friendly North American Partner to Avoid Tariffs

  • As if on cue, a short article from the Chamber of Shipping notes that cargo from China is being rerouted to avoid tariffs.
  • The destination of the cargo is,   CANADA!
  • USCoS –  experts caution that prolonged storage costs—estimated at $1,750 per container per week—and limited warehouse capacity could force sellers to offload discounted goods into the Canadian market, potentially disrupting domestic manufacturing. Others warn the strategy is risky and unsustainable, especially if the trade conflict drags into next year’s U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement negotiations. (link)

    • This will not end well….

  • American importers front loaded inventory in February and March with a 50% increase in orders.  Now, in addition to those factories going quiet, the de minimis rule kicks in.
  • (Via CNBC) – Chinese bargain retailer Temu changed its business model in the U.S. as the Trump administration’s new rules on low-value shipments took effect Friday.
  • In recent days, Temu has abruptly shifted its website and app to only display listings for products shipped from U.S.-based warehouses. Items shipped directly from China, which previously blanketed the site, are now labeled as out of stock.
  • Temu made a name for itself in the U.S. as a destination for ultra-discounted items shipped direct from China, such as $5 sneakers and $1.50 garlic presses. It’s been able to keep prices low because of the so-called de minimis rule, which has allowed items worth $800 or less to enter the country duty-free since 2016.
  • The loophole expired Friday at 12:01 a.m. EDT as a result of an executive order signed by President Donald Trump in April. (more)
  • The de minimis loophole comes from back in the 1930s. The idea back then was, say you went on a vacation to Paris, you shouldn’t have to file customs paperwork or pay taxes if you decided to ship some little Eiffel Tower statues to your friends back home.
  • Congress in 2015 then raised the de minimis threshold from $200 to $800. However, the e-commerce world exploded, and Chinese companies began using the de minimis loop

    Trump close to securing first tariff-forced trade deals. One with India could be game-changing

  • Just a month into his tariff policy, President Donald Trump could unveil his first new trade deals with allies as early as this week as his negotiators press for handshakes and signatures that could further calm markets and empower a brighter future for American workers, officials tell Just the News.
  • Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick hinted at an approaching announcement last week when he revealed he has a trade deal with an unspecified country, pending approval of its conditions. Administration officials said as many as two or three deals could be unveiled in the coming days.

      With $19 million in financing from JPMorganChase, the plant aims to start scaled production by early July 2025, using robotic welding, laser-cutting tech, and domestic steel and aluminum. Over 97% of U.S. bikes are currently imported, so this move could reduce reliance on foreign supply chains and create high-skill jobs. The timeline suggests production ramps up around late June or early July 2025

  • How It Could Happen: Crude oil accounts for ~50-60% of gasoline prices. To hit $1.98 per gallon, crude oil prices would need to plummet to levels not seen since the early 2000s. Using your earlier calculation (1 barrel = 47 gallons, though typically 42 gallons with ~20 gallons of gasoline), let’s estimate:
  • At $1.98 per gallon, crude oil might need to cover ~$0.99-$1.19 of the cost (50-60%).
  • Other costs (refining, taxes, distribution) add ~$0.79-$0.99 per gallon.
  • For crude to cost $0.99 per gallon: $0.99 × 47 gallons = ~$46.50 per barrel. For $1.19: ~$55.90 per barrel.
  • Thus, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude would need to fall to $40-$50 per barrel, a 25-40% drop from today’s $66-$67.
  • What Could Cause This:
  • Global Oversupply: OPEC+ drastically increases production beyond current plans (e.g., fully reversing 2.2 million bpd cuts), flooding the market. Combined with high U.S. output (13.55 million bpd), this could crash prices.
  • Demand Collapse: A severe global recession, worse than 2008 or 2020, slashes oil demand. For example, China’s slowing economy and Trump’s tariffs (10-20% on imports, 60% on Chinese goods) could trigger a demand shock.
  • Geopolitical Stability: Resolution of conflicts (e.g., Middle East tensions) removes risk premiums from oil prices. 
    • 2. Massive Subsidies or Tax Cuts
  •   Federal and state taxes make up ~$0.50-$0.70 per gallon (18.4¢ federal, plus state taxes averaging 31¢). Eliminating or heavily subsidizing these, combined with lower crude costs, could push prices toward $1.98.
  • Example: At $67 per barrel ($1.43/gallon crude), remove $0.50 taxes and cut refining/distribution costs (e.g., via subsidies) by $0.20-$0.30. This could bring prices to ~$1.93-$2.03.
  • What Could Cause This:
  • Trump Policy: Trump declares a national energy emergency, suspends federal gas taxes, and pressures states to follow. He could also subsidize refiners or retailers via executive action or new legislation.
  • Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR): Release large volumes of SPR oil to flood the market, temporarily lowering crude costs.
  •  Trump’s “drill, baby, drill” policy massively expands U.S. oil production, flooding the domestic market. If production exceeds demand, prices could collapse.
  • U.S. produces 13.55 million bpd, near capacity. Doubling output to, say, 20 million bpd could crash domestic crude prices to $30-$40 per barrel, pushing gas toward $1.98.
  • What Could Cause This:
  • Open federal lands (e.g., Arctic National Wildlife Refuge) and offshore sites.
  • Slash environmental regulations (e.g., methane emissions rules) to lower drilling costs.
  • Fast-track permits, bypassing legal challenges.
    • The most realistic scenario combines moderately lower crude prices ($50-$55 per barrel) with tax suspensions and minor subsidies. For example:
  • OPEC+ oversupply and weak demand drop WTI to $50 (~$1.06/gallon crude).
  • Suspend federal tax (18.4¢) and some state taxes (~15¢ average).
  • Subsidize refining by $0.10-$0.20 per gallon.
  • Total: $1.06 (crude) + $0.50 (refining) + $0.30 (distribution) + $0.15 (reduced taxes) = ~$2.01, close to $1.98.
    • Timeline: 6-12 months,  
  • The Trump administration on Friday said the federal steering council will work to help expedite 10 critical mineral projects through the complicated permitting process in response to an executive order President Donald Trump signed in March calling for boosted domestic production.
  • “The Permitting Council is excited to grow our portfolio of critical mineral production projects with this latest tranche,” Manisha Patel, the Permitting Council’s acting executive director, said in a statement.
  • “The transparency that these projects will receive as a result of being featured on the Federal Permitting Dashboard will be transformative, allowing stakeholders across government and industry the ability to track the progress of these projects, ensuring a level of accountability in environmental review that is often missing from the traditional process.”
  • The newly added projects include: NorthMet, La Jara Mesa, Roca Honda, Greens Creek Surface Exploration, Stillwater Mine, Polaris Mine, Becky’s Mine Modification, 3PL Railroad Valley Exploration, Grassy Mountain Mine, and Amelia A&B.

    “New Federal Reserve News Agency”: Non-farm data reduces the possibility of a rate cut in June

  • Timiraos pointed out that Federal Reserve officials generally indicated that a clear sign of rising unemployment would be needed for interest rate cuts. Since the April employment report showed little evidence of a widespread decline in job positions, Federal Reserve officials are likely to adopt a wait-and-see approach at next week’s policy meeting, including making almost no comments suggesting readiness to cut rates at the mid-June meeting

    Tariffs Start Washing into the Government Checking Account 
  •  
  • Collections from customs and excise taxes spiked by 81% in April from March, to $17.4 billion, more than double the average monthly collections in 2023 and 2024, according to Treasury Department data today.
  • And in March, collections from customs and excise taxes ($9.6 billion) had already increased by $1 billion from February ($8.9 billion). Over those two months, collections nearly doubled (+95%).

  • This $17.4 billion in Customs and Excise Taxes was just the initial shot.

    New CEO of California High-Speed Rail Project Hopes it Might be Finished by… 2045

  • California High-Speed Rail Authority
  • California’s high-speed rail project is a lesson in the inefficiency of big government. The project was started nearly twenty years ago and they have not even started laying down tracks.
  • One of the reasons it’s in the news right now is because it has gone way over budget and the people in charge are looking for alternate forms of funding.
  • The current CEO, who came on board last summer, is now claiming that the project might be finished in twenty years. That would be the year 2045.

  •  , Trump posted on Truth Social that he will be taking away far-left Harvard University’s tax-exempt status after the school refused to comply with five key demands from his administration and sued instead.
  • “We are going to be taking away Harvard’s Tax Exempt Status,” Trump wrote. “It’s what they deserve!”
  • As The New York Post notes, Harvard’s tax exemptions have played a key role in helping the school amass the largest university endowment in the entire country. It currently stands at roughly $53 billion, with $2.4 billion ‘earned’ in the 2024 fiscal year.

    ICE Responds to Accusations of Illegal Raid: “WRONG!”

  •  
  • After Democrats accused ICE of raiding the wrong house and terrorizing a U.S. citizen family in Oklahoma, the Department of Homeland Security fired back, beginning their official statement on X with a blunt response: “Wrong.”
  • What actually happened was that ICE conducted a lawful, court-authorized search targeting a property long tied to a human smuggling network, not specific individuals. Surveillance conducted the day before the raid confirmed that a member of the Lima Lopez Transnational Criminal Organization was still paying utility bills at the home, which remained legally owned by an indicted smuggling suspect. The warrant, based on an 84-page affidavit, authorized the seizure of evidence regardless of who was present. As DHS stated, “This is an ongoing investigation, and we have not ruled out current occupants’ involvement in the smuggling ring.”
  • Federal agents executed the search warrant on April 24 at a single-family home in northwest Oklahoma City. According to DHS, the property had been used as a stash house for human and drug smuggling involving individuals from Guatemala, Mexico, Colombia, and China. When agents entered the home, they encountered a naturalized U.S. citizen originally from Guatemala and her three daughters, the youngest of whom was 17. Although none of them were detained, DHS emphasized that the investigation is ongoing.

    • Trump White House Catches The New York Times Making a Damning Omission Regarding Story About Suspect Allegedly R*ping a Male Corpse on NYC Subway 

  • The New York Times was caught by the White House on Saturday making a damning omission in an absolutely horrifying incident that happened on the New York City subway last month.
  • As the New York Post reported, 44-year-old Felix Rojas has been accused of repeatedly r*ping the corpse of 37-year-old Jorge Gonzalez as he robbed him on a subway back on April 8 around 11:45 p.m.
  • Per the New York Post, here are the full details from prosecutors regarding Rojas’s disgusting actions.

    • Surveillance footage showed Rojas first rifle through Gonzalez’s pockets to allegedly rob him, then return to sexually assault the man’s corpse, prosecutors said.

     

    But when the far-left New York Times finally reported on the story, they led with this:

A combination of deadbeat members and mad budget rules have led to a liquidity crisis.

    DOJ Launches Investigation Into Soros-Backed Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty Over Radical Race-Based Plea Deal Policy

  • The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has initiated an investigation into Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty’s controversial new policy that mandates prosecutors to consider a defendant’s race when negotiating plea deals.
  • Soros-backed Hennepin County District Attorney Mary Moriarty has implemented a radical new policy requiring prosecutors to consider a defendant’s race when negotiating plea deals and pursuing sentence reductions.
  • This blatant push for race-based justice, which took effect on April 28, 2025, is being slammed by critics as unconstitutional, divisive, and a dangerous step toward undermining the rule of law.
  • The internal document, titled “Negotiations Policy for Cases Involving Adult Defendants,” instructs prosecutors to factor in a defendant’s “racial identity and age” when crafting plea agreements, according to reports from KSTP.
  • While the policy claims that race and age are not grounds for departing from Minnesota Sentencing Guidelines, it paradoxically demands that prosecutors view defendants as “whole persons,” with race explicitly listed as a key consideration.
  • The document reads in part:

    NEW: DC Court Smacks Down Federal Judge After He Ordered Trump Admin. to Rehire Liberal Voice of America Staffers – Legal Expert Reveals Why Ruling Will Have Widespread Impacts on Other Trump Cases

  • The liberal DC Circuit Court of Appeals handed President Trump a massive win on Saturday after a district court judge ordered him to rehire staff from far-left Voice of America that will have impacts lasting beyond just this one case, according to a legal expert.
  • Legal Professor Margot Cleveland analyzed the decision and explained in detail why this ruling will have widespread implications.
  • “The Court of Appeals decision is based on fundamental issue of “jurisdiction,” she explained. “This conclusion should have wide-spread ramifications because many of challenges to Trump Administration are about employment decisions which CONGRESS said are NOT for district courts to decide.”
  • Cleveland went on to add that Lamberth made another fundamental error, as the Court of Appeals pointed out: that the district court lacked jurisdiction to restore grants because Congress gave that authority to the Court of Claims. The Court of Appeals also stated how the SCOTUS decision compels that result, yet Lamberth ignored the SCOTUS.
  • The DC Circuit Court also noted that Voice of America was not being shuttered and that “with no bond, the harm to government is irreparable.” Moreover, the Court made clear that the Judiciary Branch, following the law, was not an option.
  • Cleveland summed up her analysis of the massive decision by noting Trump achieved a big win that will apply to other cases brought against him for three key reasons: First, courts have no jurisdiction over firings; second, they have no jurisdiction over grant terminations; and third, judges can use creative ‘loopholes’ to get around Congress.
  • “In sum, this opinion is a HUGE win for Trump because it establishes 3 key principles that apply to many of the other cases being brought against Trump Administration: a) no jurisdiction over firings; b) no jurisdiction over grant terminations; c) you can’t get around Congress limiting district court jurisdiction by creative pleading of claims under other theories

These Congressmen stated that, they didn’t know why they would Impeach me but, “We just want to do it.” The Republicans should start to think about expelling them from Congress for all of the crimes that they have committed, especially around Election time(s). These are very dishonest people that won’t let our Country heal! Why do we allow them to continuously use Impeachment as a weapon against the President of the United States who, by all accounts, is working hard to SAVE OUR COUNTRY. It’s the same playbook that they used in my First Term, and Republicans are not going to allow them to get away with it again. These are total LOWLIFES, who hate our Country, and everything it stands for. Perhaps we should start playing this game on them, and expel Democrats for the many crimes that they have committed — And these are REAL crimes. Remember, “Shifty” Adam Schiff demanded a Pardon, and they had to use the power of the Auto Pen, and a Full Pardon, for him and the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, to save them from Expulsion, and probably worse!

    Trump posted himself as the Pope — My thoughts…

    “Godfather III” is mentioned in Q drops quite a few times…

    The Godfather III’s plot revolves around Michael Corleone discovering the Vatican Bank’s ties to organized crime, symbolizing real-world allegations of money laundering by the Vatican for globalist elites.

    The surrounding context of “The Godfather” mentioned throughout the Q drops Implies the Pope (or Vatican leadership) is complicit in a secretive global power structure, potentially linked to intelligence operations (e.g., CIA, 9/11 financing) or elite families controlling global events.

    Paired with phrases like “It’s going to be Biblical,” suggests the Vatican’s exposure is a pivotal, divine judgment to dismantle the deep state.

    God uses the most flawed people for his glory. For those saying what Trump posted is blasphemous, remember The Pope was a very sick man and the walking epitome of blasphemy. Trump is trolling them.

    This is not supposed to be funny.

    President Trump just told you he ended this evil power structure and took over the Vatican Bank.
