'United States Canal!' Trump suggested in a lengthy Truth Social post on Saturday that the Panama Canal, over which communist China is increasingly exerting influence and where fees are high and capacity is limited, "is considered a VITAL National Asset for the United States, due to its critical role to America's Economy and National Security."

"The United States is the Number One user of the Canal, with over 70 percent of all transits heading to, or from, U.S. ports. Considered one of the Wonders of the Modern World, the Panama Canal opened for business 110 years ago, and was built at HUGE cost to the United States in lives and treasure — 38,000 American men died from infected mosquitos in the jungles during construction."

"If the principles, both moral and legal, of this magnanimous gesture of giving are not followed, then we will demand that the Panama Canal be returned to us, in full, and without question," added Trump. "To the Officials of Panama, please be guided accordingly!"

Trump threatens Panama over exorbitant fees

Trump Threatens to Take Back Control of Panama Canal

President-elect Trump took issue with fees charged to use the Panama Canal, a vital shipping route, on Saturday night, claiming that he will demand oversight of the waterway be given back to the U.S. when he returns to office if it’s not changed.

“The fees being charged by Panama are ridiculous, especially knowing the extraordinary generosity that has been bestowed to Panama by the U.S,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “This complete ‘rip-off’ of our Country will immediately stop….”

Panama charges tariffs for boats and ships to pass through its canal. Fees vary based on the size and purpose of vessels, and the charges range from as low as $0.50 to as high as $300,000.

“If the principles, both moral and legal, of this magnanimous gesture of giving are not followed, then we will demand that the Panama Canal be returned to us, in full, and without question,” Trump continued. “To the Officials of Panama, please be guided accordingly!

The U.S. uses the Panama Canal more than any other country. Control of the canal was transferred from the U.S. to the Central American country in 1999 as a result of a 1979 treaty under President Jimmy Carter, which Trump said was a foolish decision.

Trump represents a political realignment--Defined by Working Class Populists

Financial Times Awards Trump Person Of The Year

"It’s official: Donald J. Trump has been named “Person of the Year” by both TIME Magazine and the Financial Times for 2024. And let’s be honest—it wasn’t even a contest.

Trump’s political resurgence is nothing short of historic. After being counted out by every mainstream pundit, written off as a political relic, and relentlessly hounded by legal battles and media smear campaigns, Trump not only survived—he thrived.

The Financial Times got it right when they called 2024 “the age of Trump.” This isn’t just another election win—it’s a political earthquake. Trump didn’t just win back the presidency; he reshaped the political landscape along the way.

The 2024 campaign was classic Trump: bold, unapologetic, and laser-focused on the issues that actually matter to Americans. Inflation, border security, energy independence—these weren’t just talking points; they were promises backed by four years of proof from his first term."

Pete Hegseth

The tide is turning in Pete Hegseth’s confirmation fight

Pete Hegseth is fighting off a vicious smear campaign to get confirmed and no group of people do it better than Democrats--they lie with inpunity but it all did catch up with them in the General Election this year.

The momentum is beginning to shift.

And Pete Hegseth heard one secret from a Republican Senator that wrecked Democrats. RINO U.S. Senators Joni Ernst (R-IA) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who were working to kill his confirmation behind the scenes, flipped. They now support him and reject the false smears against Pete.

Republicans have a 53-47 majority in the Senate. Hegseth can only afford to lose three Republican Senators if every Democrat votes against him.

The spy has been photographed with key political figures such as former Prime Ministers Theresa May and David Cameron, which has raised questions about the depth of their infiltration.

Lake Worth Beach to Demolish north Water Tower

Tanks for the memories: LWB’s north water tower is coming down after 78 years

"A LONGTIME LANDMARK on the north end of Lake Worth Beach is about to disappear.

The old water tower rising 110 feet above the southeast corner of 22nd Avenue North and North D Street will be dismantled on Jan. 6, ending a 78-year run of providing both water and a reference point for residents.

Built in 1946 and topped with a 300,000 gallon tank, the tower has been out of commission since August 2023 because of adverse effects on water quality, said Vaughn Baker, the city's water utilities director. Corrosion is causing the tank’s wind rods to fall apart, she said.

The city has no plans to use it again and can rely on its other water tower, built in 1991 next to Interstate 95 near Sixth Avenue South.

To save on maintenance costs and eliminate a potential safety hazard, officials decided to remove the north tower and make the footprint space available for other public uses. The land is part of the city’s Northwest Park."

Woman accused of trying to register dead people to vote! Well, we knew this was going on and that's why Trump lost 2020.

Donald Trump's been vindicated. When he claimed there may have been voter fraud in America's election, liberals BLASTED him and insisted that voter fraud NEVER happened and that everything that goes on with our elections is totally on the level.

A slew of arrests related to election fraud have proven that to be a complete lie. Woman in Pennsylvania is charged for registering dead and even nonexistent (!!!) people to vote. She’s employed by New PA Project, an org Democrats started in 2021.

Cancer vaccine developed in Russia

Russia says it's developed a free cancer vaccine

The Daily Mail reported: "Andrey Kaprin, who heads the Radiology Medical Research Center of the Ministry of Health, said the shot will launch in early 2025, according to state-run media.

The vaccine will apparently be used to treat cancer patients, rather than being given to the general public to prevent tumors from forming in the first place.

Previous comments by Russian government scientists suggest each shot is personalized for the individual patient, which is similar to cancer vaccines being developed in the West.

It is currently not clear which cancers the vaccine is designed to treat, how effective it is or how Russia plans to roll it out. The name of the vaccine has not been revealed.

Personalized cancer vaccines are designed to teach the immune system how to recognize and attack proteins specific to that patient's cancer. To do this, vaccines use genetic material called RNA from a patient's own tumor.

Chip Roy Slams GOP

Chip Roy Takes on His Own Party: Calls Out GOP for Betrayal

Republican Representative Chip Roy (R-TX) exploded on his GOP colleagues during a crucial vote on a continuing resolution aimed at preventing a government shutdown.

Not mincing words, Roy lambasted his party for abandoning fiscal responsibility and betraying conservative principles.

In a fiery speech on the House floor, Roy railed against the bill, which he said would increase the national debt by a whopping $5 trillion. He also called out his fellow Republicans for adding $110 billion in unpaid-for spending and suspending PAYGO, a measure designed to enforce budgetary discipline.

Speaker Mike Johnson defies Trump

With his job on the line, Mike Johnson cancels appearance at conservative event

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) backed out of an event with Donald Trump on Friday as Congress scrambled to pass a spending bill to stop a government shutdown.

Johnson had been scheduled to appear at a Turning Point USA event Friday with Trump and Tucker Carlson, but Johnson's plans were changed by the spending fight, which has placed Johnson's job in jeopardy.

After three days of legislative drama, Johnson passed a bill Friday to keep the government open - but the bill importantly did not include Trump's demands to raise the debt limit.

Earlier in the week, Trump had killed Johnson's first spending bill, a bloated 1,500-page compromise with Democrats that sparked ire from the right while raising doubts about Johnson's future. Trump urged Johnson to get a better deal, which Trump said must include a suspension of the debt limit.

The final deal passed 366-34 and funds the government until March, with $100 billion in disaster aid for hurricane victims and $10 billion for farmers. While smaller than Johnson's original bill, it does not include the debt limit suspension that Trump wanted.

Biden enforcing its radical Climate Agenda

California’s Gas Car Ban: The Left’s Last Futile Stand Against Trump

The Biden administration, in what can only be described as a final “Hail Mary” to enforce its radical climate agenda, has weaponized the EPA to approve California’s infamous gas car sales ban.

This last-minute maneuver is conveniently timed just before President-elect Trump takes office, ensuring maximum chaos for the incoming administration and everyday Americans.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) granted California two waivers under the Clean Air Act, allowing the state to phase out gas-powered car sales by 2035. Of course, this affects far more than California.

Thanks to California’s self-appointed role as the de facto ruler of U.S. emissions policies, the other 17 states that blindly follow its lead—and effectively the entire country—are being dragged into this electrified dystopia.

This sweeping mandate doesn’t just target California; it will force automakers nationwide to cater to these rules since no car manufacturer can afford to design vehicles for just one state.

The Racist, Al Sharpton

Al Sharpton rages over Vance inviting Daniel Penny to the football game

Reverend Al Sharpton raged over Penny being a guest of Vance at the Army-Navy during a segment on MSNBC.

“It is amazing to me that you would have someone that choked to death an unarmed man who had mental problems and act as though he’s some kind of hero,” Sharpton ranted. “The clear message is that you are now giving legitimacy to vigilanteism, and it could make others feel that they can take the law into their own hand.”

Sharpton played the only card he knew, the race card.

“He’ll make this guy, whose only claim to fame is that he choked to death an unarmed man with mental issues,” Sharpton raved. “It ought to be insult to all Americans beyond race. If the race was the other way around, would the reaction be the same? I think Donald Trump is clearly sending a racial signal here. I think a lot of those that have fell in line are comfortable with that. That’s frightening.”

Penny was acquitted by a jury of his peers in Manhattan because they didn’t fall victim to Sharpton’s hysteria.

A bombshell report by the House Administration Oversight Subcommittee recommended Liz Cheney face criminal prosecution for allegedly tampering with January 6 Committee witness Cassidy Hutchinson.

“This secret communication with a witness is improper and likely violates 18 U.S.C. 1512. Such action is outside the due functioning of the legislative process and therefore not protected by the Speech and Debate clause,” the report stated.

Hutchinson falsely testified that Trump attacked a Secret Service driver and attempted to seize control of his vehicle after his protection detail refused to take him to the Capitol following his rally speech.

Biden 's Student Loan Forgiveness - Merry Christmas to American Taxpayers

Biden Withdraws Student Loan Forgiveness Programs

Of the two initiatives withdrawn on Dec. 20, one sought to “waive all or part of any student loan debts owed to the Department based on the Secretary’s determination that a borrower has experienced or is experiencing hardship related to such a loan.”

The other would have allowed the secretary of education to waive repayment of various categories of outstanding amounts.

The decision was made during the waning days of the Biden administration as it faces a court battle over the president’s student debt relief efforts. In 2023, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down one of Biden’s debt relief plans in the case Biden v. Nebraska.

Also on Dec. 20, the administration announced it was canceling debt for 55,000 public service workers. According to the Education Department, the additional relief amounted to $4.28 billion.

America First Legislation

Congress Passes Revised Funding Plan, Averting Government Shutdown

The bill heads to Biden’s desk. It includes $110 billion in disaster aid, $30 billion in farm aid, and extends the farm bill for one year.

Both chambers of Congress on Dec. 21 passed a last-minute funding package that would extend government funding to March 14, sending it to President Joe Biden’s desk.

The legislation, dubbed the American Relief Act, passed the Senate in a late-night 85-11 vote that wrapped up not long after the midnight shutdown deadline on Saturday. The House of Representatives passed the same bill in a 366–34 vote earlier in the afternoon on Dec. 20.

The passage of the legislation by both chambers of Congress caps off a week of uncertainty as lawmakers sought to reorganize following the collapse of a previous funding agreement due to opposition from President-elect Donald Trump and other Republicans.

Nancy Mace slams Trey Gowdy

Sit Your Ass Back Down” – GOP Rep. Slams Trey Gowdy in Epic Tirade

Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace from South Carolina slammed former Congressman and Fox News contributor Trey Gowdy over his recent appearance on Bret Baier’s Special Report. During the segment, Gowdy criticized Mace for voting against the government funding bill and for her support of former President Trump.

In response, Mace told Gowdy to “Sit Your Ass Back Down,” and reminded him of his failure to hold Hillary Clinton accountable for the Benghazi attack during his time as chair of the House Committee on Benghazi.

Mace also pointed out that Gowdy recently attacked Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz, calling him “corrupt” and “dumbfounding” for his role in the efforts to oust House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.

But Mace didn’t stop there. She also took a jab at Gowdy’s appearance, asking “Which bathroom do we think Trey Gowdy uses?” Along with a picture of Gowdy, who some say resembles the controversial lesbian soccer player Megan Rapinoe.
