Exclusive: FEMA Redirects Nearly $1 Billion from Woke Infrastructure Program to Disaster Relief:

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on Friday announced it would redirect $895 million from a woke infrastructure program to aid disaster relief, Breitbart News has learned exclusively.

“The BRIC program was yet another example of a wasteful and ineffective FEMA program. It was more concerned with political agendas than helping Americans effected by natural disasters. Under Secretary Noem’s leadership, we are committed to ensuring that Americans in crisis can get the help and resources they need,” a FEMA spokesperson told Breitbart News in a written statement.

Victor Reacts: Wait a Minute—Didn’t Democrats Say Tariffs Would Only Hurt Us?

 

Democrats told us that tariffs would ONLY hurt the United States, so why are other countries lining up to drop their tariffs and come to the table?

 with The Gateway Pundit reported, ...many countries are already offering the U.S. concessions:

Vietnam — Following the announcement of a nearly 50 percent tariff on their imports, Vietnam has immediately entered negotiations with the White House.

India — India has initiated discussions with the U.S. to address the trade barriers.

Israel — Israel wants to negotiate terms and potentially secure exemptions or reductions and has already agreed to scrap all its tariffs on U.S. imports.

European Union (27 countries) — The EU has proposed lowering car tariffs and increasing purchases of U.S. energy and military equipment in an effort to negotiate exemptions and reductions.

Japan — Japan has signaled a willingness to negotiate by pledging increased imports of U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) and investments in artificial intelligence.

South Korea — South Korea is looking at possible trade concessions that would involve leveraging strategic sectors like semiconductors to reach a favorable agreement.

Thailand — Facing the prospect of billions in losses, the Thai government is planning to increase imports from the U.S. and reduce tariffs on American products to address the trade imbalance.

The American worker has been getting taken advantage of for decades and our so-called leaders have been allowing it to happen. That ends now. All it took was one president that was willing to put America first.

And one final note, if Tariffs don’t work, why did all these other countries put such steep tariffs on us?

Nolte: Media Fail — Trump Job Approval Rises 4 Points to 53%:

President Donald Trump’s job approval rating rose four points during Tariff Week, from 49 percent to 53 percent. 

Since March 7, Trump’s job approval from young voters between 18 and 29 jumped 13 points.  Among Independents and Democrats, Trump enjoyed a six-point increase.  Most telling, support from black voters jumped 17 points in a single week.

The poll was taken by DailyMail.com/J.L. Partners of over 1,000 registered voters between March 31 and April 3.

Finally, more people support than oppose Trump’s tariffs on foreign countries by a margin of 39 percent support and 37 percent oppose. Twenty-four percent were unsure.

During the week of the poll, Trump was also getting crucified nightly by the Legacy Media for even considering these reciprocal tariffs. The doomsday-speak was everywhere. Still, it did not have any effect other than to boost Trump’s approval in their poll, which makes you wonder why.

My guess is that Normal People understand the corporate media are deliberately turning everything up to 11 to damage his approval ratings....

Secondly, I think Normal People admire Trump standing alone against the storm refusing to bend. People want a leader and that’s what a leader does. Finally, and I think this is everyone’s biggest mistake, Normal People do not care about the Stock Market, they do not care about elite opinions and concerns.

Normal people get it now. They get that the media only lie to manipulate them. They get that the Democrat Party is more interested in queering their kids, ruining women’s sports, and importing terrorists than creating jobs. They get that “free trade” is not really free when the other side is jamming us with tariffs. They get that if tariffs did not ruin the economies of so many other countries, it’s bizarre to claim it will hurt ours. They get that the ramifications of allowing our manufacturers to move overseas have turned America into a Service Economy and that if a war starts we need to be able to build things and not count on China for steel and medicine.

The deep state cabal that LIED about Hunter Biden's laptop:

“The FBI wasn’t just quiet about the Hunter Biden laptop story before the 2020 election, they actually told their own people not to talk about it,” Jill Savage of “Blaze News Tonight” reports, noting that a top FBI lawyer even issued a gag order on an agent who accidentally confirmed the story’s validity.

“We always knew this is what was going on,” Bedford says. “We knew that this was crooked, we knew it was corrupt, we knew that top levels of the U.S. government and alumni of the intelligence community were involved.”

Bedford believes that the Hunter Biden laptop story has always been “way bigger than Hunter Biden” and the “presidential family corruption” itself.

“This whole thing exposed just how corrupt the federal government was, the intelligence services were, the people who protect them were,” he continues, adding, “Never forget what they did.”

Why borders are biblical — no matter what the left says:

Even in God’s perfect eternal kingdom, there is restricted access.

There are many far-left (so-called) scholars who distort scripture to argue for open national borders, extrapolating the biblical concept of compassion entirely out of context.

1. God established national borders.

“And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place” (Acts 17:26).

2. The New Heaven and New Earth have guarded boundaries. Only those whose names are in the Book of Life can enter.

I’ve heard people claim, “If Jesus were president, He would support open borders.” But what biblical foundation do they have for such a bold assertion? In reality, scripture gives us clear insight into what Jesus will do when He governs a geographical kingdom — and it’s the opposite of what many assume.

“But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life” (Revelation 21:27).

Even in God’s perfect eternal kingdom, there is restricted access....

9. The principle of private property in scripture presumes defensible boundaries.

“You shall not move your neighbor’s boundary mark, which the ancestors have set” (Deuteronomy 19:14).

10. Babel was a judgment against one-worldism and globalism.

“And the Lord said, ‘Behold, they are one people, and they all have the same language. ... Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another’s speech’” (Genesis 11:6-7).

God divided nations at Babel to prevent global tyranny and man’s rebellion. Open-border ideology often leads toward a one-world government, contrary to God’s intention for separate nations.

Rubio says America can no longer supply the bulk of global humanitarian aid:

In a striking statement delivered on April 4, 2025, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared that the United States can no longer shoulder the majority of the world’s humanitarian aid burden.

Speaking to reporters at NATO headquarters in Brussels, Rubio called on other wealthy nations to step up their contributions, particularly in the wake of a devastating earthquake in Myanmar.

This announcement, reported across multiple news outlets, marks a significant pivot in U.S. foreign policy under the current administration and has sparked widespread discussion about the future of global humanitarian efforts.

According to Reuters, Rubio emphasized that the U.S. would continue to provide humanitarian assistance but would no longer bear 60-70% of the global load, as it has historically done.

“We’ll do it the best we can,” Rubio said, “but we also have other needs we have to balance that against.”

Trump Threatens China with Additional 50% Tariffs for Imposing Retaliatory Tariffs on U.S.

Last week, during a speech in the Rose Garden, Trump announced reciprocal tariffs on countries that have historically imposed high tariffs on the United States. Among those countries is China, which Trump slapped a 34-percent tariff on in addition to the tariffs that have been in place on China since Trump’s first term that former President Joe Biden did not end.

Trump wrote on Truth Social:

Therefore,if China does not withdraw its 34% increase above their already long term trading abuses by tomorrow, April 8th, 2025, the United States will impose ADDITIONAL Tariffs on China of 50%, effective April 9th. Additionally, all talks with China concerning their requested meetings with us will be terminated! Negotiations with other countries, which have also requested meetings, will begin taking place immediately.

U.S. free trade with China, which started at the end of the 1990s when China was allowed to enter the World Trade Organization (WTO) and given Most Favored Nation (MFN) status by Congress, has devastated America’s working and middle class for nearly three decades.

A 2018 report from the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) found that the U.S. trade deficit with China, between 2001 and 2017, eliminated American jobs in all 50 states and in every single congressional district across the country — a loss of 3.4 million American jobs.

The vast majority of those jobs lost to China were in the manufacturing sector, making up 74.4 percent of all jobs lost and amounting to 2.5 million American manufacturing jobs lost. This total includes the 1.3 million American jobs lost since 2008.

Ex-official says he was forced out of FDA after trying to protect vaccine safety data from RFK Jr.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Shortly before he was forced to resign, the nation’s top vaccine regulator says he refused to grant Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s team unrestricted access to a tightly held vaccine safety database, fearing that the information might be manipulated or even deleted.

In an interview with The Associated Press, former Food and Drug Administration vaccine chief Dr. Peter Marks discussed his efforts to “make nice” with Kennedy and address his longstanding concerns about vaccine safety, including by developing a “vaccine transparency action plan.”

Marks agreed to give Kennedy’s associates the ability to read thousands of reports of potential vaccine-related issues sent to the government’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, or VAERS. But he would not allow them to directly edit the data.

“Why wouldn’t we? Because frankly we don’t trust (them),” he said, using a profanity. “They’d write over it or erase the whole database.”

On the day he was forced out of his post, Marks said he was summoned to a meeting at HHS headquarters.

After an awkward silence, Marks said, one of the officials told him: “Look, he wants you gone.” According to Marks, it was an obvious reference to Kennedy.

“It was pretty clear that either I was going to resign, or they were going to fire me,” Marks said.

He submitted his resignation later that day, citing Kennedy’s support for “misinformation and lies” about vaccines.

Angel Families ‘Forever Grateful’ for Trump as DHS Reopens Office for Victims of Illegal Alien Crimes Closed by Biden:

Angel Families are thanking President Donald Trump for reopening the Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Victim Of Immigration Crime Engagement (VOICE) office, which services the American victims of migrant crime and which former President Joe Biden shuttered during his administration.

This week, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem and Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons announced the reopening of VOICE — the agency’s sole victims unit office that helps Angel Families track their cases against illegal aliens accused of victimizing their relatives.

“We are announcing the reopening of the VOICE office. The VOICE office began under the first Trump administration … the Biden administration shuttered this office,” Noem said:

There was no reason to do so other than a complete disregard for the tragedy that these families have had to live with.They shut down the only resource that these families had to have a victim’s voice be heard and their families be listened to.Biden prioritized foreign criminals and undermined our national sovereignty and violated our laws and then closed an office that served the victims that were impacted by it.[Emphasis added]
