For America, The Wins Are In The Numbers!

Since returning to office, President Donald J. Trump has unleashed a bold America First agenda that is crushing bureaucracy, restoring fairness, and rebuilding American dominance. Through sweeping deregulation, pro-growth policies, and decisive enforcement, the Trump Administration is slashing waste, protecting American workers, and stacking victory after victory.

Here are a few recent wins you may have missed:

🍎 Food stamp dependency is plummeting. More than 4.3 million fewer Americans are on food stamps since President Trump signed the landmark Working Families Tax Cuts Act. Illegal aliens have been removed from the rolls and requirements restored for able-bodied adults — safeguarding benefits for Americans who truly need them.

🎓 Foreign student enrollment is collapsing. New data reveals a 20% drop last spring after the Trump Administration dramatically tightened international visas. This multi-year decline is freeing thousands of spots for American students at colleges and universities across the country.

📈 Economic fundamentals are roaring with strength. The U.S. economy added 172,000 jobs in May, crushing expectations. Manufacturing and construction are booming, government employment has fallen for 17 straight months, small business hiring is up for the third month in a row, and job openings are near a two-year high. Manufacturing has expanded for the fifth straight month at the fastest pace in four years. The services sector has grown every month since President Trump’s return. New home construction is surging, home prices are falling in over half the country, and income growth is outpacing rents — restoring housing affordability to near pre-pandemic levels.

📋 Health insurers are slashing red tape. UnitedHealthcare has eliminated prior authorization requirements for 30% of procedures — the latest major insurer to act after commitments secured by the Trump Administration. Overall prior authorizations at the nation’s largest insurers have dropped 11% from last year, sparing 6.5 million procedures from bureaucratic delays.

🏠 Immigration and visa enforcement are driving down housing costs. Aggressive crackdowns on illegal immigration and H-1B visa abuse are slashing housing demand (and costs) across the country — especially in high-immigration tech hubs — delivering real relief where costs had surged the most and helping bring housing back within reach for American families.

💊 Drug prices are actually falling. President Trump is the first President to actually bring down overall prescription drug prices, and the data is only starting to show up — with President Trump’s landmark Most Favored Nation initiative projected to save Americans $500 billion over the next decade while protecting innovation and expanding access. Meanwhile, TrumpRx continues rapidly adding discounted prescriptions — including hundreds of new generic medications — to its platform, saving Americans hundreds of millions of dollars already.

🏗️ Steel imports are collapsing as American production surges. Thanks to President Trump’s strong tariffs protecting U.S. steel and aluminum, steel imports have dropped 30% this year while domestic mills have added nearly five million tons of production — putting American steelworkers first after years of foreign exploitation.

The Remarkable Story Of Jewish Resurrection

Excerpted from "The Iron Lady of The American Jewish Right" an extraordinary interview with Ruth Wisse in this wekend's Wall Street Journal:

Much of her extended family was murdered by the Germans, but “the investment in Holocaust education has been a huge mistake,” she says.

“We should remember it every day of our lives, and we do. We still mourn the Temples of Jerusalem.”

She sees the public Holocaust education effort, however, as a Jewish gesture to Christians: “Show them the crucifixion of the Jews, as if it could be redemptive for the rest of us.”

Even accepting the Christian framing, Ms. Wisse says, “we left out the resurrection. Not in three days, but in three years.”

From the end of the Holocaust in 1945 to Israel’s 1948 founding, “the Jewish nation resurrected itself— and that is a miracle.

“It’s not that the waters parted,” she says. “The Jews had to part them.” The Arabs had succeeded in choking off the Jewish escape from Europe to Palestine when it counted most, and then rejected the U.N. partition plan for a Jewish and an Arab state. After nearly 2,000 years of exile, the Jews had to fight off the invasion of five Arab armies to win independence.

“The resurrection of the Jews is the greatest story ever told,” Ms.

Wisse says, “and while our enemies were hard at work uglifying it, we told the story of the Holocaust.”

What The Hell Happened To Penn State?

It's been reported that in a mandatory anti-racism class, Penn State told first year law school students they must "acknowledge the reality of systemic racism" and "dismantle systems that racialize, subordinate, and oppress." Listen to the recording!

Is This Imbecilic, Or WHAT? Academia Gone Mad!


















From Fox News:

The student newspaper of Loyola University Chicago has issued an editor’s note apologizing for calling the alleged killer of 18-year-old student Sheridan Gorman an "illegal immigrant," saying it didn't align with their style guide or values.
The editor's note reads: “No human’s existence is illegal, and we quickly changed our wording to reflect that. We acknowledge the harm such language can cause and the power and importance of the words we choose to use.”

Senate OKs Testa Bill On Full Epinephrine Access

The New Jersey Senate passed legislation sponsored by Senator Michael Testa (R-1) that would expand epinephrine administration mechanisms permitted in schools, institutions of higher education, and youth camps.

“When a student is experiencing a life-threatening allergic reaction, every second counts,” said Sen. Testa. “This legislation ensures that schools, institutions of higher education, and youth camps aren’t limited to only one type of epinephrine auto-injector and instead, can use any single unit dose epinephrine mechanism immediately to save a child’s life.”


Specifically, the bill amends current law requiring the use of a prefilled auto-injector mechanism to administer epinephrine in a school setting to allow any FDA approved epinephrine administration mechanism to be used during an in-school anaphylaxis emergency.

Don't Be Fooled By Notre Dame's Semantics!

A special message from the Cardinal Newman Society:


They say the problem’s fixed. Not so!


Instead, Notre Dame’s leaders are up to the same old tricks. Catholic families shouldn’t be duped.


Last month, Notre Dame invited a barrage of criticism by dropping “Catholic mission” from its “Notre Dame Values”—standards which every Notre Dame employee must uphold.


Now the university’s leaders have restored the words “Catholic mission,” but it’s no reversal. It’s a sleight of hand.


The new language reads:


“Catholic Mission: Be a force for good and help to advance Notre Dame’s mission to be the leading global Catholic research university.”


Compare that to the language deleted last month:


“Leadership in Mission: Understands, accepts, and supports the Catholic mission of the university and fosters values consistent with that mission.”


The reference to Catholic “values” is gone. It’s replaced by the admonition to “be a force for good,” which would satisfy any atheist. It has all the Catholic piety of “happy holidays.”


It certainly offers no hope that Notre Dame will enforce Catholic values on marriage, sexuality, gender, human dignity, and the sanctity of human life—and that, we believe, is precisely what Notre Dame wants to avoid.

Support FAITHFUL Catholic Education

Requiring employees to uphold Catholic morals would be hypocritical:

  • Notre Dame covers contraception in its employee health plan.

  • Same-sex "spouses” are awarded employee benefits.

  • The university protects professors who promote abortion and same-sex marriage.

  • It honors pro-abortion politicians and Catholic dissidents, such as former President Barack Obama in 2009 and Vice President Joe Biden in 2016.

  • It welcomes campus speakers who openly oppose Catholic teaching.

Imagine Notre Dame fighting an employee lawsuit, claiming it must enforce the same Catholic values it already flouts! We suspect attorneys made the call: better to drop all reference to Catholic values, lest someone take them seriously.


Instead, under the guise of “Catholic Mission,” Notre Dame now admonishes employees to “help to advance Notre Dame’s mission to be the leading global Catholic research university.” Since when does “Catholic mission” mean secular prestige?  


The haughty ambition of Notre Dame’s leaders is irrelevant to the Catholic formation of students. The new language treats “Catholic” as nothing more than a brand, without reference to Christ and salvation.  


Employees no longer are required to “understand,” “accept,” or “support” Notre Dame’s Catholic mission. This is a far cry from the hope of Father Edward Sorin, C.S.C., that his university would be “the home of innocence and virtue.”


It’s high time Catholics break free of Notre Dame’s storied reputation. That reputation was earned decades ago, when the university was a shining example of Catholic education. The luster is gone.  


Catholic families should instead entrust their students to Newman Guide Recommended colleges. These colleges provide education that forms students in knowledge, wisdom, and virtue, in the light of our Catholic faith. That’s Catholic mission.


Sincerely,

Patrick Reilly
