White House Dossier's

Trump’s MAGA means commonsense policies, not extremism . . . By Peter Navarro. At the top of the list of Mr. Trump's MAGA principles during his 2016 campaign was fair trade rather than simply free trade.
Trump was the first president to expose massive unfair trade practices worldwide, not just those of China. He rightly called out the corrosive cheating of countries including Germany, India, Brazil and Vietnam.There was nothing extreme about Mr. Trump imposing tariffs on these trade cheaters to level the globalist playing field and protect American workers and factories.

As a second MAGA principle, “build the wall,” Mr. Trump embraced secure borders. Today, under the open-border policies of the Biden regime, America is undergoing the worst invasion in our history — more than 2 million illegals a year. While President Biden’s Democrats think every new immigrant will help turn the red states purple or blue, 

Mr. Trump’s supporters know this: Illegal immigrants depress the wages of Black, brown and blue-collar Americans; import crime, disease and drugs; crowd our schools and emergency rooms; and threaten our national security. Consider here that the latest Biden wave of illegals includes national security threats including Chinese military infiltrators, Islamic extremists, drug cartel kingpins and human traffickers. There is nothing extreme about securing our borders from such assaults.

As a third core MAGA principle, Mr. Trump has promised to end the kind of endless wars propagated in places like Iran and Afghanistan by RINOs like former President George W. Bush. Washington Times

Donald Trump: I Will Make America Great Again for Young People . . . By Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States. During the first Trump administration, we created the strongest and most prosperous economy in the history of the world. Under my leadership, annual incomes went up by more than $6,000, inflation was under 2 percent, and we had gasoline down to $1.87 per gallon. Household net worth reached an all-time high, with the bottom 50 percent of American households seeing a 40 percent increase in their net worth.

The U.S. economy had never been better for young Americans, but for the past three years, young people have borne the heavy costs of the failed Biden agenda: crippling inflation, soaring prices, skyrocketing interest rates, unaffordable housing, and escalating crime. Over the course of the Biden administration, real incomes have gone down by $7,400 per family. Gas prices reached as high as $7 a gallon in some places. Cumulative inflation is 18 percent. And mortgage rates are pushing a brutal seven percent—making home ownership out of reach for countless young Americans. Newsweek

BLM leader endorses Trump for 2024, accuses Dems of 'racist' policies: 'We're not stupid' . . . A Black Lives Matter (BLM) leader threw his support behind former President Trump in the 2024 race for the White House, accusing Democrats of racist policies that are working against the Black community. Mark Fisher, who is the co-founder of Black Lives Matter Rhode Island, joined ‘FOX & Friends’ to discuss why some Black voters are leaving the Democrats as they contemplate who they will vote for in the 2024 presidential election. "It's the duplicity of the Democrats, the hypocrisy," Fisher told Lawrence Jones Tuesday. "We're not stupid. The brothers are not stupid. We understand when someone's for us and when someone is not, and it's obvious that the Democratic Party is not for us." Fox News

Is this why the Left is so afraid of Trump?

DeSantis-Supporting Key Early State Lawmakers Blast Haley Endorsement By Koch-Backed Group . . . Several Republican lawmakers from the key early nominating states of Iowa and New Hampshire who support Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for president slammed Americans for Prosperity (AFP) Action’s endorsement of former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley in statements exclusively provided to the Daily Caller News Foundation on Tuesday. AFP was started by billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch, the sons of Fred Koch, who founded the multibillion-dollar holding company Koch Industries — the second largest private corporation in the country. Three state legislators from New Hampshire and three from Iowa blasted AFP’s political arm for endorsing Haley, arguing it will only help former President Donald Trump in the primary, and encouraged voters to buck the establishment in 2024, they told the DCNF.

Ron DeSantis leads Donald Trump and Joe Biden in $250mn 2024 election advertising race . . . Ron DeSantis and his backers have outspent Donald Trump, Joe Biden and other US presidential candidates, fuelling a political advertising battle that has already cost $250mn with almost a year left to go before the election. The Florida governor is in an upper echelon of spending with fellow Republicans Trump and Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor, as well as their would-be Democratic opponent, Biden.

North Korea says new spy satellite snooped on the White House, Pentagon . . .  North Korea’s newly launched reconnaissance satellite has captured photos of the White House, the Pentagon and a key U.S. mainland naval base, Pyongyang’s state media claimed Tuesday. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un reportedly viewed the photos of U.S. installations as part of a briefing on the satellite’s operations from the Pyongyang General Control Center of the National Aerospace Technology Administration, or NATA, the state-controlled Korean Central News Agency​ said in a report. Washington Times

I wouldn't worry about that. China and Russia have much more powerful satellites and other spying capabilities that target our key installations. Those are the ones to be concerned about.

Meet the Senior CIA Official Who Posted Pro-Palestinian Images to Social Media . . . The senior CIA official who posted a pro-Palestinian image on Facebook in the wake of Hamas’s deadly attack on Israel is associate deputy director for analysis Amy McFadden, the agency confirmed. Her Facebook banner image was a picture of a man waving a Palestinian flag. McFadden’s LinkedIn page revealed expressions of support for the anti-Israel International Crisis Group, once headed by disgraced former White House official Robert Malley. Washington Free Beacon

This lady is in charge of the production of analytic intelligence reports at the CIA. Think about that.

U.S. Urges Israel to Change Tactics in Gaza . . . The U.S. is pressing Israel to modify its plans for the next phase of its campaign in Gaza to better protect civilians and rebut criticism that the White House has given Israeli forces carte blanche to wage its war with Hamas. The U.S. push to have Israel fight a more targeted war signals a shift away from President Biden’s full-throated support at the outset for the campaign to oust Hamas, and is the focus of intensive consultations between Biden and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on how to handle the conflict—one that Washington has worked with Arab allies to prevent from broadening beyond Gaza.

How the Kremlin keeps dodging tough sanctions . . . The bloc’s long-awaited package of new sanctions is the twelfth it will have imposed on Russia in the past year and a half. A draft document seen by POLITICO revealed that key demands from Kyiv — lowering the $60 oil price cap to $30 per barrel, banning fuel refined from Russian oil in third countries, and ending the purchase of Moscow’s nuclear fuel — have struggled to find consensus in Brussels. That’s creating headaches in Washington, which wants its partners to move faster on cutting off Moscow’s flow of cash, but is loath to be seen to intervene politically on the other side of the Atlantic. Now, the State Department is taking unprecedented steps that could have a profound impact for European firms still doing business in Russia. Politico

If you can't even stop your own food industry from lacing food with sugar or the big pharma from pushing addictive drugs like Oxycodone on people, or smoke industry (or whatever you call it) from marketing glitzy-looking, fruity-smelling vaping devices to children, or shipping industry (and Amazon) from distributing fentanyl, even though all of those things kill Americans, how in the world would you stop Russians and the Europeans from doing business with one another, if this is what their economies have depended on for decades?

Who cares what the Russians and Europeans do? Sanctions have not and WILL NOT change Putin's behavior. Russia's security fears economic concerns. They are two separate things.  Can't our leaders start prioritizing critical needs of Americans? 

The Death of the Old Europe—and the Rise of the Right . . . Europe is in shock. Geert Wilders—variously called “far-right,” an “anti-Islamist populist,” and the Dutch Donald Trump—won last Wednesday’s election in the Netherlands. His party is now the biggest in the Dutch parliament. For years, Wilders has been an outcast, considered too toxic by mainstream politics and too extreme by the overwhelmingly liberal media. And yet he has won—and not by a small margin.  Europe is in shock. We are not.  That is because we are both Dutch—and because we both left the Netherlands because of the phenomena that have now brought Wilders to power.  What we have witnessed will tell you not just about how Wilders could win a landslide victory in one of the most liberal countries in Europe, but about what could soon be coming to countries like France, Germany, and other liberal democracies who fail to grapple with the dual challenge of mass migration and assimilation and ignore the very real concerns of their citizens.

Here’s How Much Regulations Cost Average American Family—and How Biden Is Making It Worse . . .  Americans expect to pay federal taxes, but the federal government also picks their pockets in more hidden ways, and President Joe Biden is making the problem worse in pursuing his political agenda, according to the Competitive Enterprise Institute “American households pay at least $14,000 in hidden regulatory costs every year,” Wayne Crews, the Fred L. Smith fellow in regulatory studies at the institute, says in a new video provided exclusively to The Daily Signal. “Instead of finding ways to cut those costs for Americans, President Biden’s whole-of-government policymaking framework prioritizes political causes like climate change and equity in the regulatory process.”  Daily Signal

Internal docs show Biden admin waived taxpayer safeguards to boost offshore wind project . . . The Biden administration quietly granted a request from an energy firm developing an offshore wind project off the coast of Massachusetts to waive development fees designed to safeguard taxpayers, according to internal documents reviewed by Fox News Digital. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) informed Vineyard Wind that it had waived a financial assurance for decommissioning costs fee in a June 15, 2021, letter obtained by watchdog group Protect the Public's Trust (PPT). Federal statute mandates that developers pay that fee prior to construction on their lease, a potentially hefty fee designed to guarantee federal property is returned to its original state after a lessee departs its lease.

Republicans vow to oppose Israel, Ukraine package if it lacks U.S. border security measures . . .  Sen. Marshall: "Senator Schumer, empty threats to force the Senate to work a full week does not scare us. The invasion at our border does." Schumer said he would discuss the border issue with Biden and Democratic leaders but he plans to hold a vote on a foreign aid package even if there isn't an agreement with Republicans on border security funding.

Why Republicans are souring on Ukraine . . . When Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, American politicians responded with near unanimous condemnation of Moscow’s illegal assault on a neighboring country. A year and a half into the war, Ukraine’s supporters in Congress are struggling to advance Biden’s request for some $60 billion in Ukraine funding, and the broader political mood appears to be souring — for the moment, at least — on the war. In polls, the Ukraine dichotomy is largely split along party lines. The Hill

The job of US leaders and especially those in national security is not to act out of emotions but to assess the situation soberly and realistically. Assuming they are qualified for their jobs to begin with.The country of Ukraine is destroyed because they didn't believe that Putin will do what he had said he was going to do. They didn't devise a deterrence strategy and failing that didn't settle for a common sense solution. They know that they don't have to use their brain because the US tax-payers' earnings are always there to bail them out. 

I've got a piece coming out today at 2:00 PM on the Fox News website, explaining in detail why Ukraine's victory was never in the realm of the possible. In the meantime, check out my appearance on Fox Business from last March.

Biden Ed Secretary’s Reagan Misquote Perfectly Illustrates Ignorance of Our Failed Ruling Class . . . In the future, when I think about the textbook definition of America’s failed pseudo-elite, I’ll think of Education Secretary Miguel Cardona. In a Nov. 8 speech to Western state governors in Wyoming that was unearthed Monday, Cardona delivered this line about delivering technical assistance to states. “As, I think it was President Reagan, said—‘We’re from the government, we’re here to help,’” he said. In case you don’t believe me, here’s a clip of the quote. Daily Signal

This is deeply troublesome. Even I who wasn't born in this country, know this quote very well. It means a lot to me, perhaps precisely because I am a immigrant from the USSR and know first hand what kind of destruction government apparatchiks are capable of.

Law enforcement agencies issue warnings after latest Apple iOS release . . . Law enforcement agencies across the U.S. are warning iPhone users about a feature released with the newest software update called NameDrop. "With iOS 17.1 and watchOS 10.1, you can use NameDrop to quickly share contact information with a nearby iPhone or Apple Watch," tech giant Apple says on its website. The ease and quickness of sharing information from phones has police sounding security alarms, while others believe the message is not necessary.

FOX 35 Orlando reported that police departments are warning parents to check their children's phone settings because an update to iOS 17 automatically turns the feature on. Fox Business

How (and why) to stop yelling at your kids . . . Even the most gentle, positive or responsive of parents aren’t immune to yelling at their children, especially when confronted with less-than-agreeable behavior or a failure to follow directions. But as Laithland experienced, yelling can often make parents and children feel worse, leading parents to search for more effective communication methods that still deliver the desired result. 

When parents recognize that yelling is often a response to something deeper than the child’s behavior, it can help them modify their reactions, especially in times of stress, said Lisa Weed Phifer, a trauma-informed social emotional learning specialist in Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia. She’s also co-author of “Parenting Toolbox: 125 Activities Therapists Use to Reduce Meltdowns, Increase Positive Behaviors & Manage Emotions.” “It’s important to figure out what’s driving that yelling,” Weed Phifer said. “Is it some kind of communication issue between yourself and your child? Is it work stress coming out at home as yelling? We yell as our emotional response to stress. Thinking about what it is in your environment or in your life that’s creating that stress can help you get a better grasp on it.” Washington Post

My husband and I are totally guilty of that. But it seems like you can't get a response from the child unless you scream. They just totally ignore you. I wish spanking were legal in this country. This is what my Mom did to me and my sister when we misbehaved or didn't follow direction. We still adored her.
