I want to tell you something you’re missing entirely if you only get your news from cable TV or the regular channels – ABC, NBC, or CBS. I’ve been watching the news all night, and at the same time watching X, having logged onto it 3 or 4 times tonight.
Right now, “Illegal Aliens” is trending on X, with 256,000 posts, although to me it seems more like millions of posts and comments. There has been a fury of posts about the Big Beautiful Bill and the ensuing fury of the people over the fact that the Senate GOP allowed Medicaid for Illegal Aliens to be kept in the bill.
The people are furious! And absolutely disgusted. That the Senate so-called “Leader,” John Thune, hid behind some out-of-nowhere woman, who is a staff member of the Senate – not an elected official – and allowed her to cut the ban on “Medicaid for Illegals” which puts the Medicaid for Illegals back into the bill. The House bill had cut all Medicaid and Food Stamps from being allowed to be issued to Illegal Aliens. The Senate put Medicaid Health Care AND Food Stamps for Illegals back in. Now, I guess Food Stamps came back out but Medicaid Health Care is still in for Illegals. This “Parliamentarian” – who no one’s ever heard of and literally no one voted for – is apparently running the show. And John Thune is letting her.
Someone in a position made up by Harry Reid in 2012. Ghost of Senate past.
And it’s war on X. In fact, that’s a misnomer. There’s no war because there’s no one opposing the fury. It’s the one thing everyone agrees on!
By the way, “Big Beautiful Bill” is also Trending with 332,000 posts, and “We the People” is Trending with 395,000 posts.
Here’s a little taste of what’s going around like wildfire. (And, I’ve only seen one story about this today on cable news on the Carl Higbie Show on Newsmax. Watched Fox all night – nothing.)

US Senate is a disgrace! The parliamentarian should be removed for making it 60 votes! Keeping illegal aliens on Medicaid is not putting America and Americans first!!!! pic.twitter.com/pRMlqOG9qI
The American people voted for Trump's agenda. We did NOT vote for millions of illegal aliens to get taxpayer funded healthcare.
With Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski voting with Democrats and Ron Johnson going on Fox to fundraise, it's becoming clear that the GOP doesn't give a… pic.twitter.com/djz21zHA0X

Remove JOHN THUNE TODAY. Not because he bows to the appointed communist Parlimentarian, but because he didn't remove her the day he became leader. THUNE MUST GO. HES AN ENEMY pic.twitter.com/Vk0C0Z3ego
This is the guy that could fire her and doesn’t. He wants the provision left in the bill and for her to get the blame. This is on completely on Senate Leader John Thune. pic.twitter.com/zERKu8SLkY
John Thune is a disgrace. I know some in DC will be mad at me for saying so but frankly I don’t give a damn. @johnthune’s letting Harry Reid’s hand picked left wing operative make a fool of him. Also, we don’t have 60 Senators willing to cut illegals off from Medicaid. Sickening. https://t.co/UnjVwXlr0k
As the mainstream media, the Wall Street Journal (which is part of the mainstream media), Wall Street investors and world leaders freak out about President Trump’s tariffs, the rest of us in middle America just watch you all and scratch our heads. Again.
What are you all freaking out about? Do you really think We the Sane are worried about this? After what we’ve all been through for the last four years? We have a lot more to worry about than whether or not your Dow Jones Investments stay at a 100% profit for you. And…a tariff war? I doubt it.
This is about class. And you don’t have any.
The top 10% in wealth and income in the United States owns 93% of the stock market. That’s a fact.
The lower 50% of earners in the U.S. own 1% of the stock market, mostly in their 401(k)s. So stay calm and stop whining and freaking out, because you 10%-ers don’t represent the rest of America. We realize the Stock Market is important and we all want to succeed, but your panic is not justified.
When Donald Trump came into office in 2017, the Dow was at 19,000-ish. Even with Covid lock downs, it increased in value a whopping 65% under Trump’s first Administration. Under Joe Biden, it gained another 15,000 points. So, since 2017, investors in the Dow have doubled their investment values – the Dow going from 19,000 pts. in 2017 to it’s current value today of almost 38,000 pts. And now you want to freak out because your profits are down to 90% of what they were before the tariffs went into effect a few days ago.
Forgive us if we choose to sit this panic cycle out.
Middle America may empathize with you, but we hardly think it’s time to have a breakdown. We recognize this sort of frenzy by now. It’s self-induced. So please sit down and stop screaming.
President Trump is doing what no other president in our history has been willing to do for us – the Middle Class. You know, the backbone of the American economic engine? Remember us?
What he is doing is imposing RECIPROCAL TARIFFS. Reciprocal. Every country in the world has been living off of our backs. And finally, he is protecting us. If Europe and their $500 Billion trade surplus wants to continue to charge us for importing our goods, then we will do the same to them. Canada’s trade surplus with the U.S. is $100 Billion. Mexico has a $177 Billion surplus, not including the $63 Billion/year in remittances – the money Mexican migrants make here, then send home to their families in Mexico, many of whom do so while on government assistance here:
We are $37 TRILLION in debt. $7 Trillion of that was spent by the Biden “Administration” (The Regime). And finally – FINALLY – someone is willing to uncover all the corruption and at least cut the reckless spending-ad-nauseum. I mean, if you want something to freak out about – there you go! As Congress has obsessively spent our money like a bunch of maniacal, drugged-out sailors on meth!…I’ve been freaking out about that! And so has the rest of middle America. We are sick and tired of you serial spenders, addicted to spending money out there in D.C. as the average American worker has to work January through April for “free” – just to pay for your insanity. Just stop it, already. You’re sick and you need help. And the chemotherapy America needs to save itself from you is: Donald Trump.
And now you want the rest of us – the workers who have slaved to make you rich – to feel sorry for you or believe in your hysteria?
That’s just laughable.
President Trump has secured some $4-5 Trillion in new investments in the United States. This will produce hundreds of thousands of new American jobs. Here are some of the committments made since Trump took office:
From Newsweek, Nick Mordowanec, March 21, 2025:
“Multiple companies are still putting big money into the U.S. economy.
Nvidia: On Thursday, the White House announced that chipmaker Nvidia would invest hundreds of billions of dollars over the next four years in U.S.-based manufacturing operations.
Johnson & Johnson: On Friday, Johnson & Johnson announced manufacturing, research and development, and technology investments of more than $55 billion in the U.S. over the next four years. They say it represents a 25 percent increase in investment compared to the previous four years under President Joe Biden, crediting an increase in investment levels to the 2017 Tax Cuts & Jobs Act. Also on Friday, the company broke ground on a 500,000-square-foot biologics manufacturing facility in Wilson, North Carolina.
SoftBank: On Monday, SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son visited Trump at Mar-a-Lago and announced a $100 billion investment over the next four years with a promise to create 100,000 jobs focused on artificial intelligence and related infrastructure, according to CNBC.
United Arab Emirates: After a meeting with Trump, the United Arab Emirates committed to a 10-year, $1.4 trillion agreement with the U.S. that will sustain existing investments in AI infrastructure, semiconductors, energy, and American manufacturing, according to Reuters.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company: Semiconductor giant TSMC announced earlier this month in response to Trump’s tariffs threat on foreign chips that it would invest another $100 billion into its U.S. operations. The anticipated new chip fabrication plants, two advanced packaging facilities, and a new research and design center will increase the company’s total investment in Phoenix to $165 billion—the largest foreign direct investment in U.S. history.
In January, Trump announced a $500 billion private investment in AI infrastructure led by OpenAI, Oracle and SoftBank.
Apple: Tech giant Apple announced a $500 billion investment.”
______________________________
In addition to penalizing countries who had pre-existing tariffs on our goods, discouraging their nations from buying from us, President Trump has secured the commitments from the above list of companies for business investments inside the U.S., creating new American jobs. It also helps us bring the supply chain back to America for especially necessary goods like pharmaceuticals. We currently buy 90% of our pharmaceuticals from India and China. And if there’s one thing we’ve learned through Covid, it’s that we cannot trust China with our critical needs.
…and here is a chart from the site of how our dependence on imports for our pharmaceuticals has been increasing and how that endangers our national security. Which is another thing that we FINALLY have someone in the White House caring about:
So, in addition to finally charging other countries reciprocal tariffs – matching what they have been charging us for a long time – which will increase our income, reduce our hideous national debt, bring back supply chains for all types of goods, and create hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of new American jobs; we also have a president who is taking Congress to task on their reckless spending spree, announcing it’s over, as well as a team who is simultaneously revealing and cutting all of the insane government corruption and wasteful spending.
The horror!
So, no, Wall Street Journal and mainstream media – we don’t cry for you and your self-inflicted panic at only having a 90% profit increase instead of having your profits doubled. Sorry.
I know President Trump is only trolling Canada (and it is funny) about becoming a 51st state, but I’m still gonna say it:
No thanks! Let’s take a hard pass on that one!
That would be like adopting another California, only without anywhere near the GDP or income, or natural resources, or any of the other good things about California. And when it comes to the lunatic-liberals that dominate the political landscape there – it would be just like adopting them, only, again – without any of the benefits that California has.
Let’s look at their population – it is comparable to California’s. About 40 million.
Meet Justin Trudeau’s replacement: Mark Carney. Another liberal. Meet the new boss; same as the old boss. I guess their parliament just decides who will be their Prime Minister.
And now, they’re mad.
Canada has about a $50 billion trade surplus with the United States. In his usual style of protecting the American taxpayer (what a concept!!!!!), Donald Trump announced a 25% tariff would go into effect on April 2nd, in an effort to even that deficit/surplus out, making it more to our advantage. That’s what made them mad!!! The audacity!
So, like Europe, Canada believes they are entitled to these surpluses while we are running a national debt of $36 trillion. No biggie.
Also, Canada is a member of NATO. And just like nine countries in Europe (and it was many more until Donald Trump called them all out about it), they are obligated to pay a mere 2% of their GDP toward their defense. However, just like Europe, they don’t. Canada is still paying into NATO only about 1.3% of its GDP.
They are subsidized by us through the NORAD shield: meaning, they know that in the event that they were invaded or attacked by another country, the U.S. would protect them in order to protect ourselves. So, I’m assuming Canada thinks, ‘Who needs NATO? Who needs to honor our commitments to NATO by paying our full duty? Why bother? The United States will protect us.’
And then, once the tariffs were announced, the Premier of Ontario, Doug Ford, announced that he would “shut off the electricity” of Minnesota, Michigan and New York states, and that he would do it “with a smile on his face.” Don’t blame me, those were his exact words.
Can someone tell me exactly how petulant a person must be to get mad that someone finally has the backbone to stand up to your pillaging of our money, sets out to stop you from taking advantage of us any longer, and you’re mad about that? Mad enough and immature enough to threaten to turn off the electricity to three states? What is wrong with your head??? Pop. of Michigan: 10 million. Pop. of New York: 19.5 million. Pop. of Minnesota: 5.7 million. Now you’ve made 35 million people not only mad, but determined to take back our energy industry and supply it to ourselves. We know we can’t rely on you for anything, Canada, except your decades-long abuse of our economy. You are only parasitic in your character and nature, sucking the life out of us like much of the rest of the world. And for too long our so-called “leaders” have let you eat us alive.
How stupid can you be? Zelenskyy, Trudeau, Macron, Ford, Biden, Harris, etc., etc.
You are all the same: Un-American.
And so, President Trump announced yesterday that he would double the tariffs on all Canadian goods coming into the U.S., effective tomorrow (today, March 12, 2025). A few people in Michigan and New York were worried that their electricity would either be shut off or double in price, but for the most part, they didn’t care. It would be worth it in a trade war with the audacious, spoiled, and whiny Canadians. They are, after all, not Americans. They lack the fortitude and willingness to sacrifice, as many Americans have, time and again, in the way of blood and treasure to save and secure the world. You’re welcome, Canada, Europe, and the rest of you ingrates, for all the years of letting you suck the blood out of us while we do nothing but protect you.
You are all un-American.
Good job!
Next? Ontario’s Doug Ford apologized to the American people. I’m sorry, not sorry, that we are finding this all funny at my house. Very funny. 🤣😆😂
From the New York Post:
Ford made assurances that a trade deal would be settled between the two North American nations prior to the April 2 deadline during an interview on WABC’s “Cats & Cosby” — and added a very Canadian “Sorry, eh,” directed toward US citizens.
“I want to apologize to the American people. I spent 20 years of my life in the US, in New Jersey, in Chicago. I love the American people. I absolutely love them,” Ford told hosts John Catsimatidis and Rita Cosby.
Well, you just revealed just how much of a man-child you are, Mr. Ford, now, didn’t you? 🤣😆😂
They also give us an open border, by the way.
Open border, trade surplus, not paying obligations; haughty and immature leaders.
Now, if we were to adopt them into our beautiful land, they would get 2 Senators who would undoubtedly be democrats. And they’d get – how many U.S. House of Representatives does California have? – 52. I had to look it up. It’s 52. 43 are Democrats and 9 are Republicans.
With the same demographic as California and the same pervasive liberalism, Canada would get some 50-52 members of the House of Representatives, of which most would undoubtedly be democrats.
So, no thanks.
They’re just too Canadian to be Americans. And they don’t know it, but that’s the biggest insult you could ever suffer coming from an American.
