Beter Off Under Trump? The Facts Say 'YES!'

Did you know?

America's household income reached a record high in last year (the first year of President Trump's second term) while the poverty rate fell to it's lowest level ever! It's true, and verified by recently-released by US census data.

And the details are even richer. Real median household income jumped to $87,460, the highest inflation adjusted level ever recorded, since records began. And this beat the previous record high reached in 2019, also a Trump year!

Not only did the US poverty rate fall to it's lowest level ever under Trump but it fell for all groups, especially the most vulnerable. For children, the poverty rate also fell to an all time low. Ditto for African Americans and Hispanics.

In fact, just during Trump's first 18 months in office, real media income is up an additional $2,000 above inflation. AND during Trump's entire first term, it jumped by more than $6,000. During Biden's entire four year term, it rose a paltry $500.

401K wealth soared by nearly $9,000 so far under President Trump. Under Biden it actually dropped by nearly $25,000!

During President Trump's time in office, the stock market has reached a new high 80 times -- another record, representing an astounding period of economic growth.

Yes, gas prices are too high at about $4 per gallon, though they're dropping once again. But under Biden they reached $5.11 -- or have you forgotten?

Botton line: The facts speak for themselves. You're better off under President Trump! Don't gamble with a good thing!

Italian American Heritage Month: Fiorello LaGuardia

We’re kicking off the third day of Italian American Heritage Month by highlighting Fiorello LaGuardia, New York City’s 99th Mayor and the city’s first Italian American mayor. 

Serving three terms from 1934 to 1945, LaGuardia was known for his froward-thinking leadership and opposition to political corruption. He also served in Congress and earned the Italian Cross for his World War I service. LaGuardia left a lasting mark on the city, including advocating for aviation and the creation of what would become LaGuardia Airport. 

He was also the driving force behind the construction of  Manhattan's beautiful City Center for the performing arts and the city's high school for the performing arts ist named after him. Like many of New York's most impactful mayors, he was quite a colorful character.

And perhaps his most memorable moment? During the 1945 newspaper strike, LaGuardia read comic strips aloud over the radio for New York’s children. Today, LaGuardia rests at Woodlawn, where his legacy remains part of New York City’s history.

As Entrenched Scoundrels Continue To Scheme . . .

Another Fascinating New Jersey Story!

During Italian American Heritage Month . . .

O'Scanlon Hits State On Newark Schools Spending

New Jersey State Senate Republican Budget Officer Declan O’Scanlon (R-Monmouth) issued the following statement yesterday regarding the State Auditor’s latest audit of the Newark School District, which identified millions of dollars in questionable and wasteful spending:

“Today, the State Auditor identified another round of wasteful spending in the Newark School District. It identified tens of millions of dollars of waste on everything from millions for a “museum” that remains a bombed out, fenced off building, a gym in an administrative building; senior trips with no educational components; and overpaying for health care.”

“That’s on top of past waste on trips to exotic islands, balloons, parties… and future colossal waste on a half billion dollar lease for a new building that costs more per student than total per pupil spending in other school districts.”

“State taxpayers fund about 85 percent of every dollar wasted in Newark while other schools are left grossly underfunded. It’s disgusting. State taxpayers and children in Newark deserve better. Getting state taxpayer money back and fixing the school funding formula is way overdue.”

Pictured: As of May 2026, Newark School District’s museum project remains incomplete despite being a year past the contractual completion deadline. Additional photos on page 14 of the State Auditor’s report.
