Big Tech's Billion-Dollar Loophole

Trump Just Told Peter Navarro to Make Meta Pay for Something It Quietly Shifted Onto Your Bill

Your electricity bill went up again last month.

And while you were opening that envelope, Meta – a company worth $1.6 trillion – was quietly letting you cover one cost of powering it all.

Peter Navarro just went on Fox News and said the White House is done letting that happen – and what he described is the kind of accountability Big Tech hasn't faced in decades.

Here's how the loophole works:

• When Meta or Google or Microsoft builds a massive data center – a building that consumes as much electricity as a small city – utilities have to build new power lines, new transformers, and new generating capacity to feed it.
• Under rules designed a century ago for a very different world, those infrastructure costs get spread across every ratepayer in the region.
• That means you.
• Not Meta.
• Not Google.
• You.

And the numbers aren't small.

Minnesota Fraud Tab: $18 Billion Out the Door, $203 Million Back to You

Walz and Frey Just Sent American Taxpayers a $203 Million Bill for the Mess Minnesota Created

ICE spent months cleaning up a state that allowed $18 billion in fraud to walk out the door to Somalia.

Now the men who let it happen want you to pay for their feelings.

Tim Walz and Jacob Frey – two loser Democrats under active federal criminal investigation – just demanded the federal government reimburse them for the cost of Operation Metro Surge, the largest immigration enforcement deployment in American history.

Frey put his city's tab at $203 million – $47 million in "lost wages" for people too afraid to leave home, $81 million in small business losses, and $4.7 million from hotel cancellations.

Walz went further, calling on Congress to cover costs and telling reporters the federal government "needs to pay for what they broke here." "You don't get to break things and then just leave without doing something about it," he said.

Here's the number neither man mentioned: $18 billion.

Democrats count non-citizens for House seat apportionment

They owe us 18 seats

That's right, true to form and keeping on-brand, the Democrats have been caught stealing again.

More specifically, they have robbed Republicans of 18 seats in the United States House of Representatives by counting non-citizens in the U.S. Census.

This is expressly why Joe Biden, Barack Obama (the man behind the curtain making the Corpse of Biden dance) engineered the illegal entry of 12-20 million illegal aliens in his disastrous four-year run.

Federal law currently bases House seat apportionment on total population instead of citizenship, meaning illegal aliens and other non-citizens are included in the numbers used to allocate seats and Electoral College votes.

This system has shifted dozens of House seats over time, redistributing political power toward states with larger non-citizen populations. Republican legislators have warned that counting illegals “destroys equal representation” and gives disproportionate influence to states that give them "sanctuary." But congress has done nothing to fix it.

The right to representation belongs to American citizens, not foreign nationals who have no legal right to vote.

Until Congress ends this insanity and ensures only citizens are counted for purposes of representation, the voice of every lawful American voter will remain muted by a system that rewards illegal presence and effectively cancels out citizenship. [Strictly Speaking]

It's no wonder that many blue states want the Popular Vote law that will guarantee the Presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia...California, New York and states where most illegals are, will control our country and its policies.

The Affordability Crisis

Democrats "affordability" Crisis

Mamdani ran on affordability. He told New Yorkers he would make the city work for working people.

His solution to that promise is a 9.5 percent property tax hike that will land squarely on landlords, who will pass it directly to renters, and a wealth tax scheme designed to chase out the very tax base that funds the city's services.

This is the progressive governance feedback loop in its purest form:

• Spend beyond your means.
• Blame the previous administration.
• Propose taxes that punish productivity and reward government expansion.
• Watch the tax base flee (to Florida).
• Blame the fleeing tax base for the revenue shortfall.
• Repeat.

California has run this cycle for years. Illinois knows it well. New York City, under Mamdani, appears eager to sprint through it.

Crime City of Lake Worth Beach

Lake Worth Beach, FL, experiences a mix of crime levels, with a 2026 overall B+ grade in the 33460 zip code, indicating average crime levels for the region.

While some areas like Parrot Cove have very low crime (Grade A), neighborhoods like Pineapple Beach (Grade C) and Royal Poinciana (Grade C+) see higher, above-average crime, according to DoorProfit.

Lake Worth Beach has a violent crime rate of approximately 6.8 per 1,000 residents and a total crime rate of 31.52 per 1,000 residents. While some, like this source from Nextdoor, report a lower overall rate than the national average, others note that crimes like robbery and theft are above average in specific neighborhoods, with rates such as 359.5 robberies and 2,439.3 thefts per 100,000 residents.

"The Department of Veterans Affairs announced a major new step to protect Veterans' Second Amendment rights. Effective immediately, VA will not report Veterans to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's National Instant Criminal Background Check System as 'prohibited persons' only because they need help from a fiduciary in managing their VA benefits."

Read that carefully. The prior policy treated a veteran who needed someone to help manage benefit payments the same way the federal government treats convicted felons and the adjudicated mentally ill. The veteran didn't commit a crime. The veteran wasn't found by a court to be a danger. The veteran asked for help writing checks.

The practice had been in place for decades. A veteran could lose a limb, suffer a traumatic brain injury, or return home with PTSD, and the moment the VA appointed a fiduciary to help manage that veteran's benefits, the government quietly added a name to the same database used to stop felons from buying guns.

No law was passed with their names on it. A bureaucratic process simply treated financial assistance as evidence of mental deficiency, and NICS did the rest. Pam Bondi stopped it. [VA News]

The top destructive lie by Democrats --the border is secure

ESPN’s Smith Says Trump Was Right to Secure Border

Calls Out Biden for Lying About Crisis

For years, conservatives were warning anyone who would listen about the catastrophe unfolding at our southern border. For years, the mainstream media and Democratic politicians dismissed them as xenophobes and fear-mongers.

Nothing to see here, they insisted. The border is secure said Biden and Biden's Border Czar, Kamala. Go back to sleep, America.

Funny how things change. Now, one of the most recognizable personalities in sports media is saying something that might make his ESPN colleagues choke on their lattes. And what he’s admitting should make every American who was gaslit about this crisis feel more than a little vindicated.

From Breitbart:
“The borders needed to be closed. [Trump] was right to do that, but only because Biden opened them. Had Biden followed Barack Obama’s method and his plan, and what he did in deporting even more people than Trump did in his first term, you wouldn’t hear me saying that.

“But when you let anywhere from 12 to 15 million people cross the border illegally, swearing in our face, spitting in our face, while telling us it’s raining, figuratively speaking, by telling us there was no border crisis when clearly there was, emergency efforts were necessary.”

Stephen A. Smith is a man who has spent decades swimming in the mainstream media current just declared that President Trump was correct to secure the border. He also accused the Biden administration of flat-out lying to the American people about the mess they created.

Woman arrested by ICE - Overstayed her Visa by 10 years

On 18 March, 2025, Lashar Smith was apprehended by ICE agents at Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood International Airport for staying in the U. S. beyond her visa expiration date by more than ten years.

She was subsequently transferred to a detention facility in Baker County, Florida, and faced deportation proceedings under U.S. immigration law. Her partner, James Walkine, in a statement to the media, said that they were attempting to adjust her status through legal channels, but the process was hindered by bureaucratic delays.

I couldn't find any mainstream news sources which provide confirmation of the deportation outcome beyond the initial detention. Without official records (which for privacy reasons is not available to the public in individual immigration cases like this one), the facts at hand suggest that she might have been deported back in 2025. However, this is not confirmed.

As it turns out, her partner was also here illegally staying here beyond his Visa expiration date.

10% Global Tariff imposed on all countries

Trump Signs Order Imposing 10 Percent Global Tariff

President Donald Trump announced Friday that he has signed an executive order imposing a 10% global tariff on all countries, saying the measure will take effect "almost immediately."

Posting on Truth Social, Trump said it was his "Great Honor" to sign the order from the Oval Office, describing it as a "Global 10% Tariff on all Countries."

The move comes just hours after the Supreme Court struck down his earlier attempt to implement tariffs under emergency authorities.

In a second post, Trump sharply criticized the justices who ruled against his prior tariff plan.

"Those members of the Supreme Court who voted against our very acceptable and proper method of TARIFFS should be ashamed of themselves," he wrote. "Their decision was ridiculous but, now the adjustment process begins, and we will do everything possible to take in even more money than we were taking in before!"

Kavanaugh's Dissent: A Defense of Presidential Power

S

Supreme courts' ruling on tariffs--6/3

But the story doesn't end with the majority's gavel. A powerful counterargument roared from the minority. Justice Kavanaugh didn't just disagree; he demolished the majority's reasoning with precision. In his view, the tariffs align perfectly with statutory text, history, and precedent.

He argued that Trump acted within his authority under the 1977 law to regulate importation, a power historically tied to tools like quotas, embargoes, and, yes, tariffs.

Statutory text, history, and precedent demonstrate that the answer is clearly yes: Like quotas and embargoes, tariffs are a traditional and common tool to regulate importation.

Kavanaugh went further, suggesting this ruling won't be the final word. He noted that presidents could still impose similar tariffs under other laws, such as the Trade Act of 1974. His dissent framed the issue as a matter for voters and lawmakers, not judges, to wrestle with.

The tariffs at issue here may or may not be wise policy, but as a matter of text, history, and precedent, they are clearly lawful, it was said.

Closing his argument, Kavanaugh stood firm with a respectful but pointed conclusion: "I respectfully dissent." His words echo a broader conservative frustration with judicial overreach into policy domains.

Progressive criminal justice experiments were sold as compassion. In practice, many Americans see something else: collapsing clearance rates, repeat offenders cycling through the system, and victims left wondering where accountability went.

In several major cities, murder solve rates hover near coin-flip territory. Cash bail reforms, sentencing reductions, and overwhelmed courts have reshaped outcomes in ways critics argue prioritize ideology over deterrence.

The result, they say, is a two-track system — one lenient toward violent offenders, another aggressive toward political dissidents. Whether or not it is overstated, public confidence in equal enforcement of the law is undeniably eroding.

Defund the police--Half of all murders are not solved. If you kill someone, flip a coin if you will even get identified and arrested.

Police departments are overwhelmed and understaffed. They will have difficulty gathering evidence to present a case against you. Most of them are worried about hurting you because they could get thrown in prison for it.

Catch and release with no cash bail or bail funds--If you are somehow arrested, don’t worry. Criminal justice reforms will have you back on the streets in no time.

Many blue states and cities have eliminated cash bail. For jurisdictions that still have bail, Democrat dark money slush funds will post it for you. Then your crime spree on innocent civilians can continue. Felonies are routinely downgraded to misdemeanors and misdemeanors are almost never caught. [Luthmann]

Voter ID makes sense

But anything that makes sense is difficult to pass these days.

McConnell Blocks SAVE Act — What Happened?

What happened on the Senate floor--

Senator Mitch McConnell declined to bring the SAVE Act up for a Senate vote. The bill would have required voters to show an ID when voting, a change supported by large majorities of Americans. Conservative lawmakers and many grassroots activists are angry because the measure never got a fair vote.

Critics say McConnell and his team quietly kept the bill off the calendar instead of letting senators cast their ballots and let the public see where everyone stood.

Republican voters and several House members quickly criticized McConnell for blocking the bill. They say the move protects the old guard and big donors rather than voters.

Rep. Tim Burchett and other conservatives pushed back hard, saying voters deserve election reforms that build confidence in the system. These reactions came fast and loud on social media and at town halls, where activists demanded accountability.

What Planet is Schumer living on?

Senator Mike Lee Calls Schumer’s ‘Jim Crow 2.0’ Attack on Voter ID Bill ‘Paranoid Fantasy’

Every American knows the drill. You show ID to board a plane, buy a beer, pick up a prescription, or walk into a federal building. Try cashing a check without one. Good luck. Try starting a new job without proving who you are—your HR department will show you the door before you find your desk.

These requirements exist because identity verification matters. Nobody seriously argues otherwise.

Yet when it comes to voting—the very foundation of our constitutional republic—suddenly Democrats discover that proving you are who you say you are constitutes an unconscionable burden. Funny how that works.

The Senate is currently locked in battle over the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act. The legislation would require photo ID to vote in federal elections and proof of citizenship to register.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has branded this common-sense measure “Jim Crow 2.0,” dragging out the darkest chapter of American segregation to describe a bill that simply asks voters to do what they already do at the DMV.

The comparison isn’t just wrong. It’s an insult to the Americans who actually suffered under Jim Crow laws.

Criminals are stealing $115 million an hour from American taxpayers

Expert Told Congress the Government Loses $115 Million Every Hour

And Says the Real Number Is Worse Than That

You already knew the Biden years were a disaster for the federal budget.

Now a fraud expert just testified before Congress with a number so big it makes every other Washington scandal look like a rounding error. He told senators the government is bleeding $1 trillion a year – and then turned around and said that figure is probably too low.

Haywood Talcove isn't a politician or a pundit. He's the CEO of LexisNexis Risk Solutions Government – the man who works with more than 9,000 federal, state and local agencies to stop fraud before it happens. He's been doing this for two decades.

When he sits down in front of Congress, members listen. At Senator Josh Hawley's Homeland Security Subcommittee, Talcove put a number on it: criminals are stealing $115 million every single hour from American taxpayers – roughly $1 trillion a year, nearly 14 percent of the entire federal budget.

Hawley asked him where that money actually goes.

Talcove's answer was blunt: "It goes to terrorism, it goes to child trafficking, it goes to drugs – and then it's used to purchase luxury items, cars, purses, homes. That's all funded by people like me that pay taxes."
