Was this the first stage of the [CB] trying to hurt the economy? Trump&#8217;s economy is accelerating, the job numbers don&#8217;t reflect it because of the manipulation calculation and the jobs that he is removing from Gov. Trump is winning against the [CB]. The [DS] agenda is failing. The D party is on the wrong side of history and everyday that passes the people are waking up to this fact. The only way out is a war and this is why the [DS] is continually pushing back on Trump&#8217;s peace plan. Putin has agreed to it, [DS] is fighting it. Trump&#8217;s message is clear, we are taking back the country and in the end the D&#8217;s and the [DS] will cease to exist.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <hr /> <p>Economy</p> <div class="a-single a-52"><div id="ld-8599-9832"></div><script>(function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:18510697282300316,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-8599-9832"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="https://cdn2.decide.dev/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs");</script></div> <p class="page-title"><a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-ne/pr/tren-de-aragua-members-and-leaders-indicted-multi-million-dollar-atm-jackpotting-scheme"><span class="field-formatter--string">Tren De Aragua Members and Leaders Indicted in Multi-Million Dollar ATM Jackpotting Scheme </span></a></p> <div class="node-body"> <div> <div class="field-formatter--text-default field-text-format--wysiwyg text-formatted field_body"> <ul> <li><strong>December 18, 2025 &#8211; United States Attorney Lesley A.

The indictment also alleges that Tren de Aragua (“TdA”) has used jackpotting to steal millions of dollars in the United States and then transferred the proceeds among its members and associates to conceal the illegally obtained cash.</strong></li> <li><b> </b></li> </ul> <p><strong>Source: .justice.gov </strong></p> </div> </div> </div>

Total spending on border construction: $8 billion so far. The full plan: 1,418 miles of &#8220;Primary Smart Wall,&#8221; 536 miles of waterborne barriers, and 708 miles of secondary barriers. Funded through Trump&#8217;s &#8220;One Big Beautiful Bill Act&#8221; passed in July &#8211; $46.5 billion allocated specifically for border wall completion through 2029. The &#8220;Smart Wall&#8221; isn&#8217;t just rebranded concrete. It&#8217;s steel bollards combined with patrol roads, cameras, lighting, advanced detection sensors, and in some locations waterborne or secondary barriers. CBP calls it an integrated border security system &#8211; not just a physical barrier but surveillance infrastructure covering gaps where terrain makes construction impractical. Here&#8217;s the funding story: Biden canceled wall contracts when he took office in 2021. The appropriated money &#8211; FY2021 funds &#8211; never expired. Trump returned in January 2025 and immediately restarted construction using those leftover billions. Then Congress passed his budget package allocating $46.5 billion more for multi-year construction. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem issued nine waivers since October to fast-track construction by bypassing environmental review requirements. The contracts are moving &#8211; $4.5 billion awarded in September, $3.3 billion now, with more queued through 2029. The system includes 536 miles where physical barriers won&#8217;t be built due to terrain &#8211; those sections get detection technology instead. Another 549 miles will add tech to barriers Biden left incomplete. Trump built 455 miles in his first term, mostly replacing existing fencing. This time the scale is bigger and the tech integration is real. Whether it achieves the enforcement outcomes CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott is promising remains to be seen, but the construction is happening and the funding is locked in. </strong></p> <p>https://twitter.com/EndWokeness/status/2001837612487840164?s=20</p> <p>Import IsIamists.

These will be changes that you may not have read about in the media over this last year &#8211; but they’re just as important for the new FBI. December 18: The FBI reporting structure. When Deputy Bongino and I arrived, FBI leadership was constructed to have all 50+ field offices report to one office in Washington D.C. This created inefficiencies and bureaucracy through no fault of the agents working hard in the field. When we got here, we sent personnel out to the field and then broke down the reporting structure giving a team of Operations Directors regional authority over each office. This allowed us to much more effectively manage each field office and get them the resources they need to do the job and protect the American people. The results speak for themselves: 100% increase in violent crime arrests, 35% increase in espionage arrests, 31% increase in fentanyl seizures, 500% increase in NVE arrests, and more. Making FBI leadership more responsive to the field allowed for the field to be more responsive to the American people &#8211; who we work for.</strong></p> <p>https://twitter.com/KanekoaTheGreat/status/2001754813034533328?s=20</p> <p>https://twitter.com/Rasmussen_Poll/status/2001699622553592254?s=20</p> <p>https://twitter.com/Peoples_Pundit/status/2001817750952440044?s=20</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/2001837345113542864?s=20</p> <p>https://twitter.com/KariLake/status/2001723271771726246?s=20</p> <div> <p><strong><span class="css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1adg3ll r-1g7jtus r-1x3r274"><span class="css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3"><span class="css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1x3r274"> the center is not officially renamed solely based on the board&#8217;s vote.

Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts was established and named by an act of Congress (Public Law 88-260 in 1964, codified in 20 U.S.C. § 76h et seq.), making its official name part of federal statute. While the Board of Trustees can vote to recommend or propose a name change—as they did unanimously on December 18, 2025, to add &#8220;Trump&#8221; to the name—the actual renaming requires legislative action to amend the law.</span></span></span><span class="css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-adyw6z r-135wba7 r-b88u0q"><span class="css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3"><span class="css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1x3r274">The Process:</span></span></span></strong></p> <ol dir="ltr" start="1"> <li><strong><span class="css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3"><span class="css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-b88u0q r-1x3r274"><span class="css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1x3r274">Board Proposal</span></span><span class="css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1x3r274">: The Kennedy Center&#8217;s Board of Trustees (which includes presidential appointees, congressional ex officio members, and others) can discuss and vote on a proposed name change. In this case, the Trump-appointed board voted to rename it the &#8220;Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts,&#8221; citing Trump&#8217;s contributions to renovations and fundraising.</span></span></strong></li> <li><strong><span class="css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3"><span class="css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-b88u0q r-1x3r274"><span class="css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1x3r274">Congressional Legislation</span></span><span class="css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1x3r274">: To make the change official, Congress must pass a bill amending the relevant statutes.
