Confiremd: Trump Delivers Record Drop In Crime!

President Donald J. Trump is delivering on his promise to restore law and order. According to the DOJ’s National Crime Victimization Survey, violent crime PLUMMETED in 2025 under President Trump compared to 2024 and the lawlessness Americans witnessed during the Biden Administration. Under President Trump, Americans have seen the largest one-year reduction in violent crime in the report’s history. 

This is the direct result of having President Trump at the helm— a leader who respects LAW AND ORDER and puts the safety and security of the American people first.  After securing the border, deporting dangerous criminal illegal aliens, respecting our law enforcement officers, and cracking down on drug trafficking, crime is dropping at a historic rate. 

Meanwhile, as President Trump makes our communities safer, Radical Democrats continue to put criminals over law-abiding Americans, backing policies like cashless bail, abolishing prisons, open borders, and dangerous sanctuary city policies that threaten public safety. 

The results prove that President Trump and Republicans are delivering safer streets, where Radical Democrats delivered lawlessness, open borders and no respect for the rule of law in this country. 
 

CRIME PLUMMETS ACROSS AMERICA UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP:

•    NON-FATAL VIOLENT CRIME DOWN 25% 
•    AGGRAVATED ASSAULT DOWN 31%
•    ROBBERIES DOWN 27% 
•    BURGLARY AND TRESPASSING DOWN 25% 
•    MOTOR VEHICLE THEFT DOWN 30% 
•    PROPERTY CRIME DOWN 19% 


These dramatic declines demonstrate the impact of President Trump’s commitment to cracking down on crime, holding criminals accountable, and making American communities safer. 

Italian American Heritage Month: Giulianna Tesoro

Did you know that there was a famous woman inventor who obtained more than one hundred and twenty-five patents? Her name was Giuliana Cavaglieri Tesoro, and she helped to make great strides in the field of fiber and textile chemistry. Many of the fibers you use today and textiles you wear would not have been possible without her.

With a Ph.D. in organic chemistry from Yale University, she was able to work in many areas of chemistry for industrial companies. She also held a position as a research professor at Polytechnic University in Brooklyn, New York.

Through her work and research, she developed processes to prevent static accumulation in synthetic fibers, designed flame-resistant fibers, pioneered improved permanent press properties for textiles and discovered ways to make new manufacturing projects run at peak operation and efficiency. Tesoro held her more than one hundred twenty-five patents in areas related to organic compounds and textile processing.

Like many women working in technical fields during her time, she entered a profession that was often male-dominated. Her accomplishments demonstrate persistence, expertise, and the ability to succeed through dedication to research and innovation.

Rush Was Right Then, And He's Right Now As Well!

Italian American Heritage Month: Alicia Keys

Before the world knew her as Alicia Keys, she was Alicia Augello Cook — born in Manhattan on January 25, 1981. Through her mother, Teresa “Terri” Augello, her family roots reach Sciacca, a seaside town in Sicily’s province of Agrigento. Her maternal ancestry also includes Calabria: an Italian connection woven into her African American and European heritage.

Raised by her mother in New York’s Hell’s Kitchen, Alicia began piano lessons at seven. Her mother worked hard to support them while encouraging her daughter’s love of music and performing — helping a childhood passion become a lifelong calling.
Her breakthrough came in 2001 with Songs in A Minor. Blending classical piano, soul and R&B, the album introduced a remarkable young songwriter to the world. “Fallin’” became her signature breakthrough, and in 2002 she took home FIVE Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist and Song of the Year.
Then came songs that became part of so many people’s lives: “If I Ain’t Got You,” “No One,” “Empire State of Mind” with Jay-Z, and “Girl on Fire.”
Today, her achievements include 17 Grammy Awards. In 2025, she also received the Recording Academy’s Dr. Dre Global Impact Award, recognizing her influence beyond music. Her creative journey has even reached Broadway through Hell’s Kitchen, inspired by her own New York upbringing. ✨
From a little girl at the piano to an artist heard around the world, Alicia’s story brings together talent, determination and the many roots that shape an American life — including a family connection to Sicily

As Trump Stumps, States Reap The Benefits . . .

President Donald J. Trump is delivering an America First surge of manufacturing, energy, agriculture, semiconductor, shipbuilding, and national security investments that are bringing production home, expanding domestic capacity, and locking in American jobs. These commitments build on the trillions in private investment the Trump Administration has secured since taking office — proving that when America puts itself first, results follow.

As the Administration moves across the country, it is delivering concrete wins for American communities:

  • GEORGIA: Audi is investing $4.2 billion to build its first-ever U.S. production site near Macon — a direct result of President Trump’s trade agenda. The plant will create 4,500 jobs and have an annual production capacity of 200,000 vehicles, strengthening American dominance in auto manufacturing. (Watch)
     
  • FLORIDA: The Trump Administration is investing $275 million to recruit, hire, and retain at least 5,000 new nurses in elder care facilities nationwide, expanding the workforce that serves American seniors. (Watch)
     
  • IOWA: The Trump Administration is invoking the Defense Production Act to release $150 million to expand U.S. refining capacity — boosting domestic production of diesel and gasoline to strengthen energy security and lower costs. (Watch)
     
  • NEBRASKA: The Trump Administration is investing $1.3 billion in domestic fertilizer manufacturing, with TalusAg opening two facilities in Nebraska to deliver lower-cost, American-made fertilizer to farmers. (Watch)
     
  • NORTH CAROLINA: The Trump Administration is investing up to $1.5 billion to expand semiconductor production, while Sibelco  expands production of high-purity quartz and related materials essential to semiconductors in Mitchell County — advancing America’s semiconductor supply chain. (Watch)
     
  • KANSAS: The Trump Administration is launching the Harvest Fuel Relief Program, providing farmers with up to $8 billion in support to offset elevated diesel costs during the current harvest season and protect American agriculture. (Watch)
     
  • MONTANA: The Department of War is establishing a new super range for testing advanced weapons and technologies — including autonomous weapons, space and electronic warfare capabilities, supersonics, and hypersonics — to ensure American military superiority. (Watch)
     
  • KENTUCKY: The Department of War is advancing an $80 million investment to revitalize pharmaceutical manufacturing with Antheia at a facility in Winchester, restoring critical drug production to American soil. (Watch)
     
  • ALASKA: Taiwan is investing $4.4 billion in Alaska’s mega-gas project, while the Federal Communications Commission is investing an additional $162 million to expand high-speed internet across the state. (Watch)
     
  • OHIO: Cleveland will be the home of the new U.S. Submarine Component Repair Center, strengthening America’s undersea naval industrial base. (Watch)
     
  • MARYLAND: The Navy and Anduril are investing $6.6 billion to build Arsenal-2, a new software-defined shipyard in Baltimore — the largest new American shipbuilding push in generations. (Watch)

These investments demonstrate the Trump Effect in action: bringing jobs and production home, supporting American workers and farmers, strengthening energy and national security, and expanding the skilled workforce America needs. The Trump Administration will continue delivering results that rebuild American industry and put America First.
