The following is an installment of Trump-Vance team accomplishments (each article is linked for further info):
1. President Trump Sent DIRE Warning to Iran Concerning Their Houthi Terrorists
President Trump warned the Ayatollahs in Iran concerning the Houthi terrorists which they fund, arm, and control, warning them of dire consequences if the Houthis continue their attacks.
Trump wrote:
Every shot fired by the Houthis will be looked upon, from this point forward, as being a shot fired from the weapons and leadership of IRAN, and IRAN will be held responsible, and suffer the consequences, and those consequences will be dire!
Here is this full announcement:
Let nobody be fooled! The hundreds of attacks being made by Houthi, the sinister mobsters and thugs based in Yemen, who are hated by the Yemeni people, all emanate from, and are created by, IRAN. Any further attack or retaliation by the ‘Houthis’ will be met with great force, and there is no guarantee that that force will stop there.
Iran has played ‘the innocent victim’ of rogue terrorists from which they’ve lost control, but they haven’t lost control. They’re dictating every move, giving them the weapons, supplying them with money and highly sophisticated Military equipment, and even, so-called, ‘Intelligence.’ Every shot fired by the Houthis will be looked upon, from this point forward, as being a shot fired from the weapons and leadership of IRAN, and IRAN will be held responsible, and suffer the consequences, and those consequences will be dire!
DONALD J. TRUMP,
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
2. Affordable Energy Win: Team Trump Brings Relief from Onerous Obiden-Era Tax
The Obiden Regime took steps to make energy more expensive, thus making everything more expensive. This initiative was all part of diminishing the power of America and bringing our beloved country to its knees.
One of the ways The Regime went about this was with the Waste Emissions Charge, which was a tax on natural gas. You know, that clean-burning fuel that heats many of our homes and cooks our food. But now, thanks to the Congressional Review Act and President Trump, that tax has been sent packing.
America’s natural gas industry celebrated Monday after President Trump signed into law a resolution repealing Biden-era fees on methane emissions.
The Waste Emissions Charge, which Republicans say is the equivalent of a natural gas tax, was authorized by the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act and implemented by the Environmental Protection Agency in November 2024.
The resolution rescinds that regulation under the Congressional Review Act. The CRA legislation gives Congress the authority to repeal regulations issued during the final months of a previous administration.
House Committee on Energy and Commerce Chairman Brett Guthrie (R-KY) called the repeal ‘a victory for the American businesses and families who would have been forced to bear the cost of the [Obiden Regime’s] natural gas tax.’
‘It’s time to restore American energy dominance by harnessing innovation and producing the natural gas needed to support our electric grid,’ Guthrie added.
This is an unmitigated good result. The cost of energy affects everything in the economy; it is factored into everything we do. High energy costs are one of the most damaging things to a country, prosperity-wise, and The Obiden Regime was determined to raise energy prices and keep them high, mostly using regulations and fees—like the Waste Emissions Charge.
Energy experts who testified before Congress in February said the high energy prices during Joe Biden’s presidency directly resulted from increased environmental regulations on energy production. ‘The regulations slowed down domestic energy production and consequently led to increased costs,’ they said.
This is belaboring the obvious, of course. This was done in the nebulous cause of climate change, for which The Regime was willing to sacrifice American prosperity, not to mention our comfortable, technological lifestyle.
3. Trump Was Right Again—HHS: Maine’s Transgender Athlete Policy Violates U.S. Law
The department’s Office for Civil Rights sent a letter to the Maine Department of Education, the Maine Principals’ Association, and Greely High School warning them the matter may be referred to the U.S. Department of Justice if not resolved within ten days.
Its determination follows a compliance review announced shortly after President Trump clashed with the communist/globalist governor of Maine, Janet Mills, last month. Trump, a Republican, threatened to withhold federal funds from the northeastern state over transgender athletes participating in girls’ and women’s sports.
During her altercation with Trump in February, Mills said:
We’re going to follow the law, sir. We’ll see you in court.
Maine’s Education Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Monday’s HHS decision.
The review initially focused on the Maine Department of Education, before expanding to include the Maine Principals’ Association and Greely High School in Cumberland, Maine, just north of Portland.
Anthony Archeval, acting director of the HHS civil rights office, said:
We hope the Maine Department of Education, the Maine Principals’ Association, and Greely High School will work with us to come to an agreement that restores fairness in women’s sports.
Trump, after campaigning against transgender athletes ahead of the November 2024 election, signed an executive order banning trans athletes from playing women’s sports after taking office in January.
Supporters have praised the order and say it will restore fairness, but critics say the directive infringes on the rights of a tiny minority of athletes.
NOTE: Out of 510,000 athletes competing at the collegiate level, fewer than 10 publicly identify as transgender, National Collegiate Athletic Association President Charlie Baker said in January.
4. President Trump Said He Will Release 80,000 JFK Assassination Files Tuesday
President Trump, 78, made the remark while standing in front of a large bust of his predecessor inside the Kennedy Center, a performing arts facility along the Potomac River that the current president now chairs.
Trump said:
While we’re here, I thought it would be appropriate there tomorrow, announcing and giving all of the Kennedy files.
Further:
We have a tremendous amount of paper. You got a lot of reading. I don’t believe we’re going to redact anything.
And:
They’ve been waiting for that for decades. And I said during the campaign I’d release them and I’m a man of my word so tomorrow you have the JFK files.
The president, who was 17 years old when Kennedy, 46, was fatally shot in Dallas, said the files would be “very interesting.”
Prime suspect Lee Harvey Oswald was murdered two days later by nightclub owner Jack Ruby, spurring debate about whether Oswald was a patsy in a larger conspiracy.
Oswald defected to the Soviet Union four years before the assassination and later returned to the US. The Marine Corps veteran also visited the Cuban Consulate in Mexico City and contacted the Soviet embassy there in late September 1963.
5. President Trump Announced U.S. Forces Killed ISIS Second-in-Command in Iraq Airstrike
Iraqi and American intelligence services have maintained vigilance, understanding that terrorist threats require constant attention. Imagine, these terrorists actually believe they can hide from American and Iraqi intelligence.
Then came the breakthrough for which security experts had been waiting.
President Trump announced Friday U.S. forces, in coordination with Iraqi intelligence, successfully eliminated ISIS leader Abdallah Maki Mosleh al-Rifai, also known as Abu Khadija.
Trump posted on Truth Social:
Today the fugitive leader of ISIS in Iraq was killed. He was relentlessly hunted down by our intrepid warfighters. His miserable life was terminated, along with another member of ISIS, in coordination with the Iraqi Government and the Kurdish Regional Government.
General Michael Erik Kurilla, commander at CENTCOM stated:
Abu Khadijah was one of the most important ISIS members in the entire global ISIS organization.
Further:
We will continue to kill terrorists and dismantle their organizations that threaten our homeland and U.S., allied and partner personnel in the region and beyond.
Following the strike, U.S. and Iraqi forces examined the site and confirmed both targets were wearing unexploded suicide vests and carrying multiple weapons. DNA testing confirmed Abu Khadija’s identity using samples collected during a previous raid where he narrowly escaped capture.
So much for second chances!
