Quick Takes from the Past 24-48 Hours

The following is an installment of Trump-Vance team accomplishments (each article is linked for further info):

1. “Thank You President Trump!”—Former Hamas Prisoner Edan Alexander Holds Up a Sign Thanking the President Upon His Release from the Bloodthirsty Killers

Alexander, a U.S. and Israeli citizen, was held by Hamas for 584 days. Edan thanked President Trump for his release. His mother is in the picture behind him smiling.

Here is the moment Edan’s mother reunited with her son:

President Trump posted on TRUTH social about Edan’s release.
What wonderful news!

2. Trump’s Tariffs Are a Global War on Slave Labor

President Trump did not wait for approval from Ivy League economists to act: He chose not to compete with slave labor, he chose to crush it. China sells us a toaster for $30 and still makes a profit. This is not innovation—it is exploitation.

On April 2, 2025, Trump declared “Liberation Day” and imposed reciprocal tariffs on dozens of foreign countries, in part to stop America from turning a blind eye to countries which take advantage of the U.S. market by destroying domestic competition in favor of cheap imports.

Trump’s tariffs were not just economic, they were moral.

Rather than relying on foreign countries, particularly China, that benefit from abusive labor practices, Trump put America first by deciding the U.S. must stop pretending inexpensive products come with no human cost.

China forced many of its religiously and ethnically targeted workforce to toil away in factories, making products distributed and sold across the globe.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor:

[Moslem] slaves in China produce countless store shelves worth of goods, such as textiles, hair products, and aluminum, among many other things.

They get extremely low pay, can’t contact or visit their families (unless, in some circumstances, they are heavily surveilled by the government), and they can’t leave.

In June 2020, President Trump signed the Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act, a bill sponsored by then-Sen., now-SoS, Marco Rubio. This legislation required the president to issue sanctions to hold China accountable for its human rights abuses.

In one of its final acts, the first Trump administration said China was committing “genocide” against the Uyghurs and other [moslem] populations by engaging ‘in the forced assimilation and eventual erasure of a vulnerable and religious minority group.’

Trump’s tariffs are, in part, a continuation of his first term’s crackdown on China’s human rights violations.

3. Trump Admin. Launches Landmark Investigation into California Providing Federal Benefits to Illegal Aliens

DHS announced Monday morning Homeland Security Investigations LA Field Office issued a Title 8 subpoena to the State of California’s Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants (CAPI). The California Left have utilized this program for years to provide benefits to “migrants” ineligible for Social Security benefits due to their immigration status.

The DHS is demanding all records from the LA County Department of Public Social Services to ascertain whether illegals received Supplemental Security Income (SSI) from the Social Security Administration. The subpoena covers the years since 2021.

Per the press release, HSI Los Angeles has subpoenaed the following records:

– Applicant’s Name and Date of Birth,

– Copies of Applications,

– Immigration Status,

– Proof of Ineligibility for SSI from the Social Security Administration, and

– Affidavits in Support of the Application.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem released a statement warning this action from the administration was only the beginning against lawless states, and illegals should get out while they still can.

4. RFK Jr. Calls Out Big Pharma’s STRANGLEHOLD on the D.C. Swamp: ‘At Least One Lobbyist for EVERY Congressman, Senator, and Supreme Court Justice’

President Trump signed the “Most Favored Nation” executive order, a bold move that would peg U.S. prescription drug prices to the lower prices paid by countries in Europe and beyond—potentially slashing costs for American patients by up to 80 percent.

The move represents a direct assault on the globalist pharmaceutical lobby and the corrupt lawmakers they bankroll in Washington.

Joining Trump was RFK Jr., who blasted the pharmaceutical cartel and the corrupt political class that enables it:

Thank you, Mr. President. This is an extraordinary day…every major Democratic leader for 20 years has been making this promise to the American people. This was the fulcrum of Bernie Sanders’ runs for the presidency—that he was going to eliminate or correct this discrepancy between Europe and the United States.

….

There’s at least one pharmaceutical lobbyist for every Congressman, every Senator on Capitol Hill, and every member of the Supreme Court—by some estimates, even more. The pharmaceutical industry itself spends three times what the next largest lobbying sector spends on lobbying.

We now have a President who is a man of his word—who has the courage…
We have 4.2% of the world’s population. Our country represents 75% of the revenues for pharmaceutical companies. We spend in our country $1,126 per capita on drugs. In Britain, they spend about $240… And this is true across Europe.
And the drug companies—even the European ones—if you ask them, it made no sense what they were saying: that America has to pay for this innovation.

5. SecDef Hegseth’s Memo to American Military Academies Will Make the Left Furious but Ensures U.S. Officer Corps’ Deadly Efficiency

SecDef Hegseth ordered the Military Service Academies to overhaul their admissions process, stripping away the diversity, equity, and inclusion nonsense that has been eroding standards for far too long. This move is a long-overdue return to sanity, ensuring our officer corps is built on merit alone.

The memo, first reported by The Daily Wire, directed:

[T]he MSAs to certify within 30 days that all future admissions will be based ‘exclusively on merit.’

Hegseth used similar words on X:

ALL FUTURE ADMISSIONS will be ‘exclusively on merit.’

Further:

‘Race, ethnicity, or sex’ can NO LONGER BE CONSIDERED.

This is a long-overdue cultural gut-punch to the woke ideologues who have been infecting our military with identity politics.

The left will scream about “diversity” and “inclusion,” but let’s be real: War does not care about your skin color or gender. Frontline insurgents are not checking boxes for Asian women or non-binary candidates before they strike.

Hegseth understands this fundamental truth, and, thankfully, he is not afraid to act on it.

On X, Hegseth declared:

Our officers will be the best of the best—full stop.

6. Trump Threatened to Revoke Trade with India and Pakistan if They Continue Fighting

Officials from Islamabad and New Delhi agreed to a cease-fire over the weekend following a brief conflict between the two nuclear powers that threatened to destabilize the region.

India and Pakistan have come to blows on dozens of occasions since 1947, when the two nations were divided and granted independence by the British Empire. At that time, Pakistan was created as a nation for India’s moslems.

India is one of the United States’ largest trading partners and Pakistan is one of the smallest. In 2024, the United States did $129 billion in goods trade with India and $7.3 billion with Pakistan, according to figures published by the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative.

The most recent round of fighting presented the most serious confrontation between the two nations in decades and stemmed from a terrorist attack in an Indian-controlled part of Kashmir that killed 26 people.

The truce remains fragile and Trump said his aggressive use of trade as a diplomatic tool for ending international conflicts was a hallmark of his administration and he would continue to pressure the nations to maintain the peace.
