Senate PASSES President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” Despite Three GOP No Votes – VP JD Vance Breaks the Tie:

The Senate has passed President Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill,” sending it one step closer to becoming law.

The vote was 51-50. As expected, two of the GOP no votes came from Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky and disgraced RINO Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina.

The other no vote came from Susan Collins of Maine.

The passages came after the Democrats stalled progress for hours this weekend by forcing the poor Senate clerks to read the 940-page bill. After that, the Senate embarked on a massive vote-a-rama which ended late this morning.
The legislation accomplishes several critical policies, including making the Trump tax cuts permanent, eliminating taxation on tips and overtime, locking down the border, and taking an axe to Joe Biden’s green energy scam.
Before the vote, Chuck Schumer was able to strike the name “Big Beautiful Bill” from the bill’s text. How childish and pathetic on his part.

UPenn Strikes Landmark Deal With Trump Admin Stripping Men Of Women’s Medals, Signing Apology Letters To Female Athletes:

After the University of Pennsylvania faced significant funding cuts from the federal government for allowing biological males to compete in female sports, UPenn has agreed to a landmark deal with the Trump administration to end the unfair practice and reverse the resulting damage.

As part of the deal, the University has agreed not to allow biological men in the future to compete against women or share “intimate facilities.” According to the Daily Wire, UPenn will also “adopt ‘biology-based definitions’ for ‘male’ and ‘female’ that comply with Trump’s executive orders on the issue.”

For the women who have previously been affected by the unfair playing field, the University has promised in the agreement to strip male swimmer “Lia Thomas” of the titles, giving them instead to the female athletes he competed against. They will also be writing a “personalized letter of apology to each impacted female swimmer.”

Legacy Unlocked: Trump’s Big, Beautiful Bill Clears Final House Hurdle En Route to White House:

President Donald Trump’s big, beautiful bill is en route to the White House, the culmination of months of work by the President and his team and the realization of scores of campaign promises.

Republicans successfully met Trump’s Independence Day goal – belittled as unrealistic by the establishment media – clearing the path for a bill signing ceremony Friday that undoubtedly will be one for the ages.

Trump, in a Thursday morning Truth Social post, accurately called the legislation “one of the most consequential bills ever.”

The bill, which codifies into law much of what Trump has done through executive action and unlocks much more that required Congressional approval, may be considered by history as Trump’s crowning achievement.

Trump’s steadfast determination and tireless efforts to pass the bill and deliver on his campaign promises paid off. And the legacy of a historic presidency that has redefined the office itself will be richer for it.

Inspector General: Migrants Bribed New York Officials to Get Drivers’ Licenses:

A Queens driving school reportedly conspired with three Staten Island Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) workers in a driver’s license fraud scheme, the district attorney and New York State Inspector General’s Office said.

The T&E Driving School in the Flushing neighborhood of Queens conspired with DMV employees who administered road tests on Staten Island, so that customers could pay the school up to $2,000 to illegally secure a driver’s license, prosecutors said, according to a report by NBC 4 New York.

The driving school and DMV employees allegedly worked together to schedule road tests with a male or female imposter, who would then take the tests on behalf of the customers while the scheming DMV staffers received kickbacks in cash.

Richmond County District Attorney Michael McMahon said on Tuesday that there could be hundreds or even thousands of drivers who received their licenses without ever taking the required road test.

“Too many people have gotten driver’s licenses because of corruption, because of theft,” McMahon said. “Countless individuals are driving on our roads without demonstrating the skills necessary to do it safely.”

Investigators are now working with the DMV to track down the drivers who are currently behind the wheel with fraudulent licenses.

“We think this is just the tip of the iceberg, to put it simply,” McMahon added.

Meanwhile, the three DMV employees, along with four others associated with T&E Driving School, are facing charges including falsifying business records, tampering with public records, and identity theft, NBC 4 New York reported.

"T&E used social media and strategic advertising to exploit members of the Chinese community and get licenses regardless of immigration status, language, and ability to operate a vehicle,” George Ioannidis, of Homeland Security Investigations, said.

Driver’s license fraud schemes are not isolated to New York City.

As Breitbart News reported last month, Florida police arrested a group — two DMV workers and six others — selling driver’s licenses, including commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs), to nearly 1,000 illegal aliens for cash.

Probably we, the taxpayers, do in some form or other.  

But, it does explain why some people drive the way they do!
