We are eight months into the Trump administration so I thought it would be a good time for a few observations.
I did vote for Trump and, like many, I’m suffering buyer’s remorse.
I’ll start off by saying the alternative was a nonstarter. Kamala Harris was not a serious candidate, and I believe the globalists threw her against Trump as part of their master plan to make sure Trump got a second term in office. I would not be a bit surprised if the power elites in this country have at least a 12-year hidden plan where they have their people already selected. That means they already have the next president and likely the one after that in their sights.
When we voted for Trump we voted for a secure border, an end to the foreign wars and Washington’s constant agitation and bullying of other sovereign nations. All of which is causing great instability around the world and prepping it for World War III. We wanted Trump to concentrate on bringing back the American economy, bringing home most of our overseas troops, lowering the debt and the cost of living.
Let’s look at what we have actually gotten eight months in from an administration that promised to do a lot, “and very quickly,” as Trump likes to say.
On the growing surveillance state
I’ll admit, dismantling the police state/surveillance state was never something Trump seriously campaigned on, but he did make enough vague references about cleaning house in the FBI, ATF and IRS to give people the impression that he wanted to downsize the federal footprint. In reality, Trump has always had an obsession with the military and law and order so we should have seen his expansion of the police state and the whole federal apparatus as a given.
When the government farms a data-collection program out to a private entity like Palantir, to be activated in running all levels of government, including the new Department of War…. then sends the Department of War into our cities…well, Houston, we have a problem. No one is safe. They know all. They see all. They hear all. Who’s watching the watchers? When’s the last time you heard Trump make any sort of reverent comment about the Constitution or the constitutional rights of all Americans? I’ve noticed an eerie silence in that area and when combined with his actions, it looks like martial law could be in our future with the most constitutionally questionable surveillance tactics farmed out to Big Tech. I don’t believe anyone voted for that.
On the border
This is the one area where I give Trump a passing grade. He has delivered fairly well on the border situation, but even here, there’s more talk than action. The number of illegals coming across the border has slowed to a trickle, but the numbers of illegals actually being deported doesn’t line up with the rhetoric.
Trump announced he’s approved 600,000 visas for Chinese students. I don’t believe we voted for that.
And what happened to those 100,000 Chinese men of military age that we were told slipped across the border during Biden’s term? Have they been rounded up? Is there any effort ongoing to find them? Crickets from the administration.
Jacob Thompson at The Winepress notes that:
“Per a recent Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, Newsweek reports that since President Trump took office on January 20th, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had deported 145,419 illegal immigrants from its detention centers, peaking in June with a total of 27,970. This number includes self-departures.”
However, Disclose.tv noted that at the current pace, the Trump administration will deport 1.1 million illegals over four years.
Thompson writes:
“Interestingly enough, government data shows President Barack Obama deported more illegals than Trump did during his first term, and even President Joe Biden was executing similar numbers to Trump, save for 2021 and 2022. Based on the current trajectory from the currently reported data, per the most recent FOIA, Trump 2.0 is set to deport even fewer annually than the first time.”
According to Jessica Vaughn at Center for Immigration Studies, under Trump, ICE has removed nearly double the number of aliens with criminal convictions or pending criminal charges, which will result in safer communities across the country. So that’s positive, but the bit about “mass deportations” so far hasn’t materialized.
Inflation and the rising overall cost of living
Next up, let’s look at the economy. Where is this new Golden Age of peace and prosperity that Trump speaks of?
We are eight months in and all I see is growing economic misery. The cost of almost everything is up, but the real killers are food prices, the soaring costs of insurance for homeowners and car owners, car parts and car repairs, and rapidly rising local property taxes, to the point of forcing people out of their homes.
Hiring was moribund under Biden and I don’t think anyone can make the argument that job opportunities have increased since Trump took over. Amazon just announced that it plans to replace almost all of its workers with AI by the year 2030. Is that what the new “Golden Age” will look like?
I voted for a lower cost of living. What did we get? Trump’s Stargate project aims to blanket America with massive AI data centers. Electricity costs are already soaring, and they’ve just gotten started. Trump wants thousands of these power-hogging data centers. Some analysts predict they could cause electricity rates to double or even triple over the next three to five years, as the data centers soak up more and more of the available electric power capacity. The same goes for water rates.
I also voted for lower gas prices. By low, I mean at or below $2 a gallon. I’d settle for $2.25. Where are they? Trump promised to slash energy prices in half. He pounded the slogan, “drill baby drill.” Eight months have passed. Are we drilling? And if so, why haven’t prices come down? Because they aren’t drilling, that’s why. It was all a smokescreen and voters lapped it up.
Oil and gas producers worldwide are bracing for a prolonged downturn, with job losses and investment cuts spreading through the industry, according to a new report from the Financial Times.
ConocoPhillips, Chevron, and BP have all announced large-scale layoffs, while others are shelving or selling projects to conserve cash.
Kirk Edwards of Latigo Petroleum told the Financial Times:
“This isn’t just a Conoco problem. It’s a flashing red warning light for the entire US oil and gas industry.”
Trump also said there would be no CBDC in our future. Yet, he gave us one by another name. It’s called Stablecoin. It will replace the faltering U.S. paper dollar when it finally collapses. That’s a whole other article.
Endless War in Ukraine and Middle East
To get our minds off of the imploding economy, Trump seems to enjoy engaging in threats of war against various sovereign nations, and against various mayors of cities he doesn’t like.
The self-described “Peace President” has become the War President. He even changed the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War, admitting that he’s enamored with the idea of initiating offensive wars against countries or leaders he doesn’t like.
He’s also putting troops from the War Department on the streets of U.S. cities, starting with Chicago. I didn’t vote for that. Let’s be honest. As much as we don’t like Democrats, this is a dangerous provocation that could lead to civil war. My guess is it’s more rhetoric than actual policy, but why inflame the already gaping divisions in American society, unless the goal truly is civil distress, chaos, confusion and ultimately civil war?
Trump has ordered Putin to stop fighting Ukraine while continuing to send weapons to Putin’s enemy, Ukraine.
Is Trump, or any U.S. president, in a position to dictate the terms of a peace deal to nuclear-armed Russia? I don’t think so. Attempting to do so will at some point backfire on Trump and America. Now there’s talk that Trump wants to force the EU into joining his secondary sanctions on countries buying Russian oil, namely China and India, and that Trump wants to see European troops deployed in Ukraine to enforce his proposed peace deal. He’s playing with fire here (as in Russian firepower).
Amid all his demands for other countries to stop fighting each other, there’s one country he tells to keep fighting. That’s Israel, which looks like it has a blank check to attack anywhere in the Middle East anytime it wants. Trump even participated in one of the attacks, that being the one on Iran. I support Israel’s right to defend itself but I think its government has gone off the rails when it feels free to openly hunt its enemies and send missiles into the residential areas of foreign countries. I don’t believe that’s a wise policy for any country as it will only create new enemies as fast as the old ones are wiped out.
Now Venezuela is in Trump’s sights. Does anyone believe that’s all about going after drugs? Venezuela is rich in oil and gas. I think it’s the resources, not the drugs.
I see a lot of war and threats of more. Where is all this peace he talks about?
Col. Douglas MacGregor noted in a recent interview with Judge Andrew Napolitano that, if we continue on our current trajectory with Russia, we are being dragged into a war over a piece of land that is of no strategic value to our country. “That ends in thermo-nuclear war,” MacGregor said.
So Trump has a decision to make. Does he continue down this path to World War III and nuclear war or does he look for an off ramp? We better start praying someone talks some sense into the man.
Gun control
No GOP administration should be talking about restrictions on our Second Amendment, period. Any restriction, even against a hated enemy, can and will be turned around on us at a later date. Yet, the Trump-led DOJ announced last week it is considering banning transgenders from owning firearms. If a GOP administration can ban those on its enemies’ list from owning firearms, why can’t the Democrats do the same thing when they occupy the White House? Are you ready to turn your guns over to Gavin Newsom because you happen to be a conservative Christian? I didn’t think so.
On vaccines and mRNA technology
On vaccines, I didn’t vote for Trump to defend vaccines. Although I did know that Trump was terribly weak on this issue and that his chief of staff Susie Wiles was sold out to Big Pharma, I had some fleeting hope that his choice of RFK Jr. to lead HHS would make Trump at least a little less enthusiastic about poisonous death shots. I was wrong.
Four new mRNA Covid shots have been approved under Trump’s watch with various others in the pipeline.
Trump gave vaccine-obsessed billionaire Bill Gates a seat of honor at a White House dinner last week. Then, during a press conference in the Oval Office last Friday, Trump told reporters that “you have some vaccines that are so amazing. The polio vaccine, I happen to think is amazing. Some people think the Covid vaccine was amazing.”
The president also noted that “you have to be very careful when you say that some people don’t have to be vaccinated … It’s a very tough position.”
After pissing off his base and taking a lot of heat, Trump, in typical fashion, flipflopped two days later and said all vaccines are poison. I don’t think anyone with a brain takes this seriously.
Before it’s all said and done, I think Trump will throw RFK Jr. under the bus, sidelining him from facilitating any meaningful change in the government-Big Pharma-biosecurity-corporate media complex.
On dissolving the IRS
I voted for defanging the IRS. Trump said he would eliminate the federal income tax and drastically reduce the role of the agency that collects this tax, if not outright eliminate it. Instead, he’s expanding it. The news hit last week that Trump is rehiring the IRS agents that Biden hired and he initially fired. You can’t make this up, folks. Ending the federal income tax? I’m still waiting.
All else aside, there are some other nagging questions.
What happened to the Fort Knox gold that Trump said he would personally go in to inspect?
What happened to the arrests of Fauci, Mayorkas, James Comey, Brennan, Clapper and the Russiagate collaborators?
What happened to those Epstein files Trump promised he would release to the public? We are sick of being gaslit and told we are stupid and weak for not wanting to memory-hole the Epstein files.
What ever happened to DOGE and all those budget cuts it recommended?
What happened to draining the swamp and closing down the Department of Education, the IRS and FBI? Instead, we got an enthusiastic endorsement of Lindsey Graham, the prince of the Swamp Creatures!
BOTTOM LINE: We aren’t going to change Washington or the man supposedly in charge of running it. He is who he is. Gerald Celente, publisher of the Trends Journal, described Trump, accurately in my view, as “a spoiled daddy’s boy with a bad attitude,” adding that Trump “was born on third base and told he hit a homerun.”
The government is what it is. But it’s time we start looking at things as they are, as opposed to how we’d like them to be.

Revealed: Keir Starmer altered the manual on interpreting human rights laws that prevent deportations
” because he and the jews wants them here ”
Story by Harriet Line • 6h • Sir Keir Starmer altered the manual on how to interpret the human rights laws that are preventing Britain from deporting migrant spongers.
The Prime Minister, the biggest tritor since Tony Blair altered the Human Rights Act 1998 and the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) in 1999 when he was a human rights lawyer. Tony and Cherie Blair assisted in this criminal act. A copy of the book revealed Sir Keir hailed the Human Rights Act as having ‘enormous potential’ and representing a ‘new way of thinking’ about the law.
It came as the Attorney General yesterday ruled out leaving the ECHR and claimed it would be counterproductive for Britain to leave the Convention to tackle i mass migration.
Appearing before the Lords constitution committee, Lord Hermer said ministers would leave ‘no stone unturned’ on the issue.
When a government obeys the will of the people it is a democracy
when the government ignores the will of the people it is a dictatorship
The Prime minister has been absolutely crystal clear that we will not be sending any migrants home

Labour former Northern Ireland secretary Lord Hain also criticised his own front bench, arguing that police should be tackling “real crime” rather than being “forced to frog-march” peaceful old ladies to court for holding up ” free palestine ” placards.
Palestine Action was outlawed as a terrorist group in July after it claimed responsibility for painting slogans on two war planes at RAF Brize Norton,

MANDELSON GONE
Starmer Faces Pressure Over Fresh Mandelson-Epstein Links
Fact checked by The People’s Voice
Britain’s prime minister Sir Keir Starmer is facing mounting pressure to sack US ambassador Lord Mandelson, after the emergence of fresh revelations about his links to the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein .Mandelson’s future as US Ambassador now appears to be hanging by a thread after new emails emerged revealing his close ties with Jeffrey Epstein
and the ” boy-nobbing ” parties
MPs from both the Conservative and the Labour parties have called for Mandelson to be sacked but the prime minister has so far stood by his fellow homosexual jew.
UPDATE: The Foreign Office has just confirmed Peter Mandelson has been sacked by Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
But he soon faced calls to dismiss the peer following reports he had supported Epstein when the banker was being investigated for child sexual offences.
Mandelson esc aped a prison sentence after being named my mosiac mag
for visiting boys homes with Greville Janner
On Thursday morning, Home Office minister Mike Tapp admitted Lord Mandelson’s messages to Epstein were “disturbing and disgusting”.
The ambassador reportedly told the child sex offender to “fight for early release” shortly before he was sentenced to 18 months in prison, and said “I think the world of you” the day before he began his sentence in 2008.
This was all exposed before by Carl Beech.
Asked for his reaction, Mr Tapp told BBC Breakfast the emails made him “shudder”.
He added: “I find it disturbing, those sorts of emails in honesty… we have to just look at what Peter Mandelson saying around his regret and what he knew at the time about the abuse of little boys.”
Reports i both The Sun and Bloomberg revealed emails in which Lord Mandelson told Epstein he was “following you closely and here whenever you need” and urged him to “remember the Art of War” when dealing with prosecutors.
They prompted calls for the ambassador to be sacked from both Conservative and Labour politicians and the general public
Tory leader Kemi Badenoch described the abuse revelations as “sickening” and said Lord Mandelson’s position was “untenable”
Drumph claims the attack on the boat down Venezuela way was for drug interdiction. If that were true, why has he NOT gone after the biggest drug smuggler, the CIA??
It certainly appears that the skumbags that got DJT elected and controlled by the Rothschilds Khazarian Mafia (RKM) – that controls Israel and their baby sitters around the politics in DC and every other branch in government. The key issue is the Mossad has the Epstein files and hold, most of the parrots in government, their feet to the fire and also appears why there has been a complete reversal in the Republican also Democratic parties. The Dems in my opinion are Marxists – also controlled by the RKM. The USSA is basically screwed to the wall, and it certainly appears there will be a tsunami or debt devouring the country – then the RKM will enter and buy it up for pennies on the shekel.
PALESTINIAN HOLOCAUST
Ursula von der Leyen has begged all EU governments to punish Israel over its “man-made famine” and mass murder in Gaza.
The European Commission president said that deadlocked member states must “find majorities” to suspend trade with Israel and sanction its “extremist” ministers and settlers .Man-made famine can never be a weapon of war. For the sake of the children, for the sake of humanity – this must stop,” Mrs von der Leyen said in her annual State of the Union speech on Wednesday.
She warned that the EU could “not afford to be paralysed” in the face of starvation on the Strip caused by restrictions on aid and Israeli attempts to undermine a future two-state solution.
She said Brussels would “do all that it can on its own” by freezing some of its funding to Israel, which carried out air strikes on Hamas in peace talks in Qatar on Tuesday.

We wanted secure borders, an end to the illegal migration, yes. But what we get instead is T2’s thuggish Ice raids on tomatoe pickers, arresting and shooting of migrant workers who’ve been working here for years and years; Then he has to go yell at South Koreans working at some car plant, displaying the absurdity of T2’s shenanigans; so we get higher prices for tomatoes now, oh boy, and Ice gets more funding, along with more “random” police traffic stops by local cops.
Question: What is really going on with Trump and the deep state?
Answer: “Yep, they plan decades in advance. The deep state running things in the US is made up of the most powerful entities of the American empire. They have to control their many acquisitions abroad supposedly bringing advanced Western civilization to an otherwise backward world while ensuring there is enough green stuff falling from the heavens to pay off all their puppets and stooges, as well as ensuring that their corporations keep exploiting and flourishing.
At the same time, they have to carefully control the American masses, using left and right regimes and a host of psyops to advance their master plans. It is also largely Jewish led and owned just like what happened to the British Empire in the 19th century with the Rothschild financial and asset usurpations. But for those controls there never would have been a Boer War, a WWI or a WWII.
Cui bono? Britain had lost its Christian soul by the 19th century as starkly witnessed by the Opium Wars in China whereby both the House of Hanover (under Victoria) and the House of Rothschild made huge fortunes, along with the Baghdadi Jewish Dynasty who procured the stuff. So, who was in control? Who really gained?
The Boer War (899–1902), was fought between the British Empire and two independent Boer republics in southern Africa, and its main objective was actually not really for more British pink on the world map, although they wanted control the tip of Africa, but mainly for the vast gold and diamond deposits. Who ended up in control of the vast wealth? The House of Rothschild through their various assigns and agents.
At the start of WWI, the same Jewish money power was in control of GB, France, and also in control of the USA, plus many other nations with their central bank system. At the beginning of that century some estimates say that the House of Rothschild controlled at least half of the assets in the world. By the end of that war, it was also in control of Russia, Germany, Austria, and Hungry.
WWII? By the end of that war the tentacles of the same dynasty added every single nation of Europe to its map, and it began its final conquest with establishment and control of the communist government in China, the state of Israel, and the systematic takeovers of finances and governments in every other nation they could extend their dept-rigging grasp, or conduct some sort of regime-change operation with economic destabilizations, national bankruptcies, coups and wars.
Today, the power elites of all nations get a choice. They can either work directly for a globalist totalitarian and nation-deconstructing government in which the House of Rothschild controls credit and debt of the entire globe, giving the favors to their chosen, as is clearly the case with the government handouts and major bank loans in the US in particular, or they can assert their nationalism in ways to support the largely Jewish-UK-US-controlled multinational globalist interests, and support the state of Israel, despite its nefarious objectives. In any case they must support all efforts to knock out the remaining independent nations. No matter if the people elect a globalist government or a more populist one, the elected governments have to support the grand globalist plans from Rothschild agents working under the central directives.
The milking of the West for trillions through flogging LC (low-cost) Chinese goods on unprotected Western markets, was as planned as the global-warming scam, 9/11, the Iraqi war, the 2008 economic crash, the war in Syria, Covid, the war in the Ukraine, and Gaza.
Recent sensational shootings in the US are deep state operations, and despite Trump’s support from the US gun-owners, the main function of these psyops is to further the globalist effort to disarm citizens, and especially in the US where it is expected the globalist totalitarian control operations will likely run into the most resistance.
Having conquered virtually every nation and major institution on the globe, the only remaining enemy of organized Jewry under Rothschild money-power dominion, is us.
The projectile was within Kirk’s vest under his shirt.
would be great if those “artists painting Donny” orange would not forget his ears!
The Jews aren’t letting go, man. They want the Muslims and the Christians to annihilate each other and it’s all being set up right now in all the Western Nations ; Kalergi, here we go !!
Trump is actually doing the best he can for ONE person. The Jews are like gutter rats biting and gnawing at everything Trump tries to achieve.
Hang in there and support our POTUS. It’s hard to fight the real source of all our problems ; the Jews, because every politician has to take an oath to Zionism above all else, America comes second, if at all.
But remember that the Jews always use others to do their dirty work for them cause they’re all cowards, and so the Kalergi infestation fits the bill perfectly.
Get ready for HELL ON EARTH, cause you can see it coming.
