President Trump's Tax Cut$$$ Are Working!

Millions of American workers, families, and small business owners are seeing the real results of President Donald J. Trump’s signature Working Families Tax Cuts law. This landmark legislation is putting more money back into the pockets of hardworking Americans, boosting refunds, increasing take-home pay, and rewarding the American way of life.
 
Of course, every single Democrat in Congress voted against it.
 New data shows the law is delivering record-breaking benefits:
  • The average tax refund is up significantly this year (nearly 11%), with average refunds exceeding $3,700 — while millions more Americans will see an immediate boost in their paychecks as they adjust withholding for the lower tax rates made permanent by the legislation.
     
  • Nearly 20 million taxpayers have claimed the No Tax on Overtime provision, giving these essential workers — from factory employees and linemen to police officers and nurses — a powerful new break on their hard-earned extra hours.
     
  • Over 4.6 million taxpayers have benefited from No Tax on Tips, providing meaningful relief to service workers who rely on gratuities.
     
  • Nearly half of all filers so far have claimed at least one of the law’s landmark new tax cuts.
     
  • Nearly 12 million small business owners are seeing an average tax reduction of nearly $7,000, while the permanent extension of the 20% Qualified Business Income deduction is delivering $4,600 in average relief to eight million entrepreneurs.
     
  • Restoration of immediate deductibility for research and development expenses — applied retroactively — is freeing up $100 billion in prior-year deductions for tens of thousands of businesses, while full expensing allows companies to write off investments immediately, improving cash flow and fueling expansion.
     
  • Parents of more than four million children have already claimed Trump Accounts on their returns.
The Trump Administration believes in rewarding hard work, not punishing it — and this tax season proves it.

President Trump and Republicans fought for these pro-worker, pro-family, pro-growth policies. Democrats stood in the way.

Absolutely Unprecedented And Historic!


 

It's Certainly Worth Remembering THIS!

Two years ago today, the Biden Administration desecrated Easter Sunday with a “transgender” message that elevated radical leftist ideology over faith, family, and biological truth. This Easter season, the Trump Administration is celebrating a decisive victory: the swift and unrelenting dismantling of subversive, woke policies that endangered children, eroded women’s rights, assaulted common sense, and dragged America toward moral and cultural decline.

Under President Trump, the era of government-sanctioned delusion is over:
  • President Trump declared it the official policy of the U.S. Government that there are only two immutable sexes: male and female.
     
  • President Trump banned federal funding, sponsorship, or promotion of the chemical and surgical mutilation of minors — protecting children from irreversible harm and directing agencies to defund institutions engaged in these practices.
  • The Trump Administration ended the un-American indoctrination of schoolchildren by terminating federal support for “gender ideology” and “equity” curricula — enforcing parental rights and putting states on notice to remove such content or lose funding.
     
  • President Trump ended the unfair, demeaning practice of forcing women to compete against biological men in sports — which resulted in both the NCAA and the International Olympic Committee, as well as multiple state high school athletics associations, to realign with biological reality.
     
  • The Department of War reinstated standards requiring service members to serve according to their biological sex, banned transgender individuals from military service where it conflicts with readiness and cohesion, and prohibited taxpayer funds for sex change procedures — restoring the military’s focus on excellence, not ideology.
     
  • The Department of Health and Human Services conducted a comprehensive review of so-called “gender-affirming care” and confirmed the lack of medical or scientific evidence supporting its irreversible effects on minors.
     
  • The Trump Administration — including across the Department of War and the Department of Veterans Affairs — ceased all funding for sex change surgeries and related procedures.
     
  • President Trump eliminated radical gender ideology from U.S. service academies and training programs.
     
  • President Trump directed enforcement to protect single-sex spaces designed for women and girls — including bathrooms, locker rooms, and shelters — based on biological sex.
     
  • The Trump Administration axed billions of dollars in grants that had been used by states to perpetuate radical gender ideology and related propaganda.
     
  • The Trump Administration ended the practice of allowing gender self-identification on federal documents — including passports — restoring biological sex as the sole basis for official records.
These bold actions have shattered years of Democrat extremism, rescued a generation of children from irreversible harm, restored biological truth, and reclaimed America’s commitment to fairness, science, and sanity.
 
In the Trump Administration, truth, strength, and moral clarity are once again guiding our nation forward.

Are These The Cleverist Broadway Lyrics Ever?

If driving fast cars you like

If low bars you like

If old hymns you like

If bare limbs you like

If Mae West you like

Or me undressed you like

Why, nobody will oppose

When ev'ry night the set that's smart is

Intruding at nudist parties

In studios

Anything goes 


-Cole Porter for Anything Goes, 1934

Yes, these lyrics were written 92 years ago!

Who Are The REAL Kings In This Drama?

Excerpts from a recent post by Ken Blackwell on facebook:

No Kings explained for people who think they're fighting fascism.
500 groups. Three billion dollars in revenue. Pre printed signs stacked and shipped before you even knew what you were supposed to be mad about.
That is not a spontaneous uprising. That is infrastructure.
That is planning. That is money. That is message discipline.
And that is what you walked into on Saturday.
You looked around, saw the crowd, saw the slogans, felt the energy, and told yourself this was democracy. “No Kings.” It sounded clean. It sounded righteous. It felt like you were part of something organic.
But the signs were ready before your outrage was.
That should bother you.
Because you are not living under a king. You are living in a constitutional republic with elections, term limits, and a press that has spent years attacking the most powerful figures in the country without consequence. No one is being arrested for calling a president a fascist. No one is being silenced for dissenting.
That is not tyranny.
And yet you are being told it is.
You are being trained to see normal functions of a country as authoritarian. Loving your country becomes suspicious. Wanting a secure border becomes immoral. Believing parents should have a say in their children’s lives becomes dangerous. Asking basic questions about elections becomes taboo.
That is not clarity. That is conditioning.
Every country on Earth enforces its borders. Most require identification to vote. That is not controversial anywhere else. It is only controversial here because you have been told it should be.
And you believed it.
Meanwhile, look at the people who actually hold power and how long they have held it:
Chuck Schumer. 46 years. Longer than Stalin.
Steny Hoyer. 45 years. Longer than Mao.
Mitch McConnell. 42 years. 5x more than Napoleon.
Nancy Pelosi. 39 years. Longer than Henry VIII.
Maxine Waters. 35 years. Longer than Mussolini.
Bernie Sanders. 35 years. Triple Hitler’s entire reign.
That is what entrenched power looks like.
Decades. Not months. Not a single term. Decades.
But you are told the threat to democracy is the outsider who disrupted that system for a brief window of time.
You are told he is the king.
No. What you are reacting to is not monarchy. It is loss of control.
You do not hate kings. You hate kings that are not yours.
Because when power consolidates on your side, you justify it.
A sitting president steps aside. Within days, a replacement is effectively crowned without a real contest, without a meaningful debate, without voters having a say in a process that is supposed to belong to them.
No primary. No debate. No ballot.
And you said nothing.

A Very Happy Passover To All!


 

Trump Acts And Airport Lines Begin To Ease!

Thanks to President Donald J. Trump’s decisive leadership, chaos at airports across the nation is beginning to ease as TSA officers receive long-overdue pay amid the Democrat DHS Shutdown. Now in its 45th day, the Democrat DHS Shutdown — driven by Democrats’ refusal to fund programs critical to our national security — has led to weeks of strain on Americans across the country.
President Trump took action where Democrats would not:
  • Emergency action to pay TSA officers: President Trump declared a national emergency to pay TSA officers, with their first paychecks in weeks reaching workers as early as today, already reducing absenteeism and improving staffing levels.
     
  • ICE support at airports: To ease the burden on TSA personnel, President Trump deployed ICE officers to major airports, where they’re assisting with crowd control, logistics, entrance and exit security, and identity verification — helping maintain order and keep travelers moving safely. 
Media outlets are already reporting measurable improvements:
  • CNN: “Abysmal wait times at airports shrank Monday morning as tens of thousands of Transportation Security Administration workers started getting back pay after more than a month without income — apparently prompting fewer to call out.”
     
  • Associated Press: “After weeks of chaos in U.S. airports, the Transportation Safety Administration said the first paychecks in weeks are being sent as early as Monday to its workers, giving the beleaguered aviation system a boost of optimism. Wait times at some TSA security bottlenecks, such as the airport checkpoints in Atlanta and Houston, improved significantly Monday morning.”
     
  • NOLA.com: “Early morning travelers reported another round of long lines at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport on Monday, but, as on Sunday, lines moved faster than the ones that had snarled the airport in previous weeks.”
     
  • WBAL-TV (Baltimore, MD): “After a congested and contentious spring break weekend, with some passengers stuck in queues for four or five hours, security wait times at BWI Marshall Airport have stabilized going into the workweek.”
While President Trump’s actions are providing critical short-term relief, the underlying crisis created by Democrats persists as tens of thousands of other DHS workers continue to go without pay. Democrats in Congress must immediately end their shutdown, pass responsible funding legislation, and stop putting political demands over the safety, security, and livelihoods of the American people.

The State Of Air Travel In The USA . . .

We don't always agree with everything that Matt Walsh writes on X, but we do agree with this one, which is why our recent trips to Europe have been via ocean vessel and why we motor or take the train whenever we can. From Walsh:

Flight delayed on tarmac. Missed our connection. Based on the other flights available, which were also delayed, and the fact that taking a flight tomorrow would require getting back into a security line stretching seemingly for miles, we decided to get a car and drive five hours to our destination. That’s how bad air travel is right now. Driving is faster. Air travel is awful in this country. People don’t realize just how much it sucks unless they have to do it a lot. It’s not just TSA. Flight delays. Air traffic control issues. Service is even worse than usual. Every airport is crowded and slow and worn down and dirty. Everyone brings their dogs. The term “service animal” doesn’t mean anything anymore. Air travel used to be luxurious. People used to wear suits. Working for an airline was prestigious. The employees took it seriously. It sucks now. It’s terrible. This is the kind of thing our leaders should be fixing. Because the most frustrating thing is that it is so eminently fixable. If only anyone bothered to try.

They Can't Get It Through Their Thick h=Heads!


 

Is This Italian Food Mecca Headed Our Way?

This festival of Italian food has one all-pervading moto: Mangia bene, which simply means eat good!

And if you're at Uncle Giuseppi's, you're eating good from the moment you walk into one of its capacious Italian supermarkets. Yes, we did say supermarkets, because Giuseppi's stores now encompass up to 55,000 square feet and they are filled with every sumptuous Italian dish, delicacy and dolcΓ© you could possibly think of and you'll be sampling the food as soon as you arrive.

In 2001, Giuseppi's opened in East Meadow, Long Island, NY, and they've been growing ever since. Now, 25 years later, they have a dozen stores (known as Marketplaces) with several more on the way. And here's the most intriguing part: scuttlebutt has it that Uncle Giuseppe’s Marketplace may have plans to open in the Cherry Hill area, which would be the company's first foray into the South Jersey/Philadelphia region.

Well, we're so excited by all this that we took a ride up to the Giusepp'is location nearest us in Tinton Falls, NJ and were absolutely delighted with what we found. In fact, in every department and every aspect of the store, Uncle Giuseppi's exceeded our expectations -- and we're very discriminating customers.

The shopping experience at Uncle Giuseppe’s Marketplace is designed to mirror the way our grandparents used to shop—but on a much bigger scale, of course. Giuseppi's makes many of their products from scratch—their own pasta, mozzarella, lasagna, sausage, baked goods, pastries, and lots more. And the store is divided into shops where you can watch the food being prepared. Then, you can purchase a prepared food item, take it home, heat it up and—dinner's ready! Plus, Giuseppi's has combined this with a full-service supermarket to give you a total food shopping experience at the best value, where you can buy all of your weekly groceries at competitive prices.

And Giuseppi's staff is large, knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. The whole idea is that food shopping should be a pleasant experience.

Enjoy these photos from our visit and take a look at the marvelous culinary creations in Giuseppi's various departments including pastascheesespizzabreadspastriessandwiches 

and prepared foods. The place is gastronomic heaven. Pray that it's headed our way!
