Americans are well aware of the issues that stem from allowing large numbers of illegal aliens into the United States, from cheap foreign labor to abuse of welfare systems and legitimate concerns about illegal voting. But there is another glaring issue that illegal immigration causes, and President Donald Trump and his administration are proposing a way to fix it before 2030.
Illegal aliens are currently counted in the United States Census — the census count that is used to form a population baseline for each state and allocate U.S. House seats and Electoral College power among the 50 states every ten years.

Congress could pass a law that converts the treasuries into marketable treasuries, and then are sold to the Federal Reserve or phased through Treasury or a new government vehicle in exchange for cash that is delivered to the Treasury — which are then used to buy a non-voting stake in the S&P 500.

President Donald Trump is asking the Senate to abolish the Senate filibuster and adopt the SAVE America Act to get illegal aliens off of the voter rolls and to require proof of citizenship to register to vote from now on, citing over 250,000 non-citizens are illegally registered to vote in California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Nevada alone. So far, the Senate is saying there aren’t the votes to abolish the filibuster.

Rental prices for the 46 million Americans who rent their homes are finally reversing, and there’s speculation President Donald Trump’s border security and deportation policies are a driving factor. With over three million illegal aliens either voluntarily leaving the country or deported since President Trump took office according to the Department of Homeland Security, rental homes are freeing up for U.S. citizens across major metro areas.
According to the latest Apartment List National Rent Report released May 27, rental prices are down 1.5 percent nationally compared to one year ago. This is the lowest year over year rent increase since 2017. For comparison, the year over year rent growth in 2022 during the Biden Administration was 17.7 percent.

With eight Democrats plunging forward in California’s crowded gubernatorial race, Republicans have a shot at occupying the governor’s seat for the first time since 2011 when former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger departed the governor’s mansion.
Should Republicans manage to take control of the governor’s mansion, it is possible Democrat turnout in down-ticket races will be slightly depressed, opening up an opportunity for Republicans to put up a fight in at least four competitive U.S. House seats and possibly lowering Democrat turnout in other races across the state too.

A month into the partial government shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) — thanks in no small part to separating DHS funding from the rest of the government combined with an unwillingness to address Senate filibuster rules — there have been two Islamist terror attacks on U.S. soil in Austin, Texas and New York City as the war in Iran rages on.

While the recent conflict between the U.S. and Iran is front and center in early March and will no doubt have a massive impact on the midterm election cycle, domestic issues must continue to be addressed, and President Donald Trump is doing exactly that on healthcare policy.
As unflashy of an issue as healthcare is, it repeatedly polls in the top three to four issues for voters. In the latest Economist/YouGov survey from Feb. 27 – March 2, healthcare comes in as the third most important issue to voters, with 11 percent of Americans ranking healthcare as their number one priority. Twenty-two percent rank inflation/prices as their top priority and 14 percent rank the economy as their top priority.

Republicans are a little spooked after losing a Texas Senate seat in District 9 in a special election that President Donald Trump had carried in 2024 by more than 17 points, 58 percent to Kamala Harris’ 40.6 percent, with Democrat Taylor Rehmet defeating Republican Leigh Wambsganss 57.2 percent to 42.8 percent the second-round runoff on Jan. 31.
That’s quite a drop off of support for the Republicans amid the curious nature of Texas’ special election system which runs akin to a jungle primary where multiple candidates from each party can run in the special election, and if no one gets above 50 percent, it goes to a runoff. Why not just do a primary prior to the Election Day?

President Donald Trump’s overall approval rating took a hit this month, but one area where the President’s efforts have paid off already is his massive turnaround of the illegal immigration crisis. With illegal border encounters at their lowest number since the 1970’s according to the latest U.S. Customs and Border Protection data Americans have a lot to celebrate, and President Trump to thank for a significantly more secure country.
President Trump’s refusal to accept a porous border open border and move to deport illegal criminals is his most popular policy to voters. In the latest Cygnal survey from Nov. 5-6, voters strongly credit Trump for his work to quell the illegal immigrant crisis, support deportation, and say immigration is being resolved but needs more work to be completely solved.

The Democratic Party is in crisis as Congressional Democrats struggle to establish credibility on the illegal immigration crisis, unchecked crime and political violence, and the contentious government shutdown in which Democrats are demanding a permanent expansion of Obamacare and the of repeal sections of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that keep taxpayers from subsidizing Medicare for illegals. Conservative priorities like rooting out government waste, tackling rising crime, and securing the border are receiving a wave of support from the American people, and two-thirds of Americans identity as either conservative or moderate, while just 28 percent say they are liberal today.

While prominent Democrats have become crime-apologists — arguing for defunding the police, allying with disruptive protestors, releasing criminals into American cities, and attempting to block President Trump’s deportations of illegals — Americans agree with the President’s characterization of major cities as “overtaken by violent gangs and criminals”. This is particularly true of Americans living in high-crime regions themselves, with a plurality of urban voters agreeing with the president’s characterization of major cities like Washington, D.C., Baltimore, and Chicago as being overtaken by violence and criminal behavior.

If you listen to the left, over half the country voted for President Donald Trump due to ‘misinformation’ — the left’s favorite term for dodging the mainstream news — or bigotry. Modern Democrats vilified Trump voters when President Trump won the popular vote, aghast that voters elected a president to secure the border, deport illegal aliens, tackle rising crime, and renegotiate trade deals in our favor.

After President Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election, then-President Barack Obama directed U.S. intelligence agencies to produce a new intelligence assessment of Russian activities interfering with the 2016 election that would ultimately conclude that Russia had been trying to help Trump get elected, a new memorandum from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard shows.
The January 2017 assessment differed from pre-election assessments produced by the intelligence community that “foreign adversaries do not have and will probably not obtain the capabilities to successfully execute widespread and undetected cyber attacks on the diverse set of information technologies and infrastructures used to support the November 2016 U.S. presidential election.”

Federal spending outlays will increase a whopping $3.38 trillion from their 2024 level of $6.87 trillion to $10.2 trillion by 2034, according to former President Joe Biden’s last budget submitted to the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
The estimates are a year old, and we still await President Donald Trump’s first full budget that will adjust the baseline, hopefully taking into account the impacts of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, but it is still instructive about the dire fiscal trajectory the American people find themselves on.

The final votes were 51 to 50 in the Senate, with Vice President J.D. Vance casting the tie-breaking vote, and 218 to 214 in the House after weeks and months of preparation, drafting and debate. Now the work is done. The job is finished.

But that’s the case with the proposed combination of Charter and Cox Communications.
