The following is an installment of Trump-Vance team accomplishments (each article is linked for further info):
1. More Winning: Turkish Copper Wire Company to Open 91k Square Foot Plant in South Carolina
The plant is expected to employ more than a hundred local workers.
A Turkey-based copper wire manufacturer announced on Tuesday it is investing $34 million in South Carolina to manufacture superfine electrolytic oxygen-free (EOF) copper wire in Fairfield County.
Mega Metal, which has more than 700 employees and distributes products to more than 30 countries, said the project will create 135 new jobs.
Once fully operational, the facility is expected to produce 55 million pounds of wire annually.
That’s not an enormous amount of wire when compared to the copper industry as a whole, but this is a highly specialized product that is only used in a relatively few applications. Even so, it is a significant development for Fairfield County, South Carolina:
‘This investment in Fairfield County is not only a manufacturing milestone—it is a reflection of our long-term commitment to the North American market,’ said Mega Metal Inc. board chairman Cuneyt Turgut. ‘We are proud to grow alongside the state of South Carolina, contribute to the regional economy and build a foundation of industrial excellence.’
What’s also interesting is that this is a company based in Turkey, which sees the logic in opening a plant in the United States to serve the market for their products more directly. This wasn’t a decision made in a vacuum; there was something about the employment and business environment in the United States right now that made this an attractive proposition.
2. Judge Backs Trump on AEA, OKs Venezuelan Deportations
A federal judge ruled Tuesday President Trump has the authority to invoke a wartime law to deport members of a Venezuelan gang he designated a terrorist group, deepening a judicial divide and prompting calls for swift Supreme Court intervention.
The Alien Enemies Act can be used to deport members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, a decision which broke with several other courts that have blocked the administration’s actions under the 18th century law.
U.S. District Judge Stephanie Haines, a Trump appointee in Pennsylvania, concluded the president can remove individuals affiliated with foreign terrorist organizations under the AEA. However, she determined the administration must provide detained migrants with 21 days’ notice in both English and Spanish before deportation can occur.
Haines wrote in her 43-page opinion that her “unflagging obligation is to apply the law as written.”
Obviously, the split in decisions across jurisdictions has created an inconsistent legal landscape. Under prior district court rulings, the AEA could not be used against migrants detained in parts of Texas, New York, and Colorado. However, on April 7, the Supreme Court held that AEA detainees must receive notice that they are “subject to removal under the [AEA]” before they are deported.
3. Tulsi Gabbard Fired ‘Deep State’ Heads of National Intelligence Council Said to be Anti-Trump
Director of National Intelligence Gabbard fired Mike Collins, who was serving as the acting chair of the National Intelligence Council, and his deputy, Maria Langan-Riekhof, on Tuesday, senior intelligence officials told Fox News Digital.
Fox News Digital learned:
Collins has elicited whistleblower complaints against him for political bias and deliberately undermining the incoming Trump administration.
Further:
Collins was closely associated with Michael Morrell, the former deputy director of the CIA who worked to write a public letter in 2020 claiming Hunter Biden’s laptop had ‘all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation,’ and to get signatures from top ex-intelligence officials.
And:
Langan-Reikhof has been a ‘key advocate’ for diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, which contravene Trump policies.
Fox News Digital also reported:
Gabbard is moving the National Intelligence Council from the CIA to her office ‘to directly hold accountable any improper action and politicization of intelligence.’
An ongoing initiative is to flush out intel community leakers, many of whom are “career bureaucrats that are entrenched in Washington politics.”
4. Toady Congressman Moves to Impeach Trump for Talking about a Third Term
Rep. Shri Thanedar (C/G-MI) introduced 7 articles of impeachment of Trump which read like his guidance was a Self-Help Manual on How to be Your Own Lawyer.
Some of the contents:
[President Trump] has, by his actions and statements, sought to establish himself as tyrant, dictator, and autocrat over the People of the United States, usurping unto himself the constitutional powers of Congress, the courts, and the States, and powers illegitimate and beyond the scope of lawful government altogether.
[President Trump] has denied and violated the right of the People of the United States to freedom of speech, and of assembly, and to petition the government for redress of grievances.
Trump has unlawfully conducted himself, bringing shame and embarrassment to the office of the Presidency and the people of the United States. He has betrayed the trust of the Nation to conduct meaningful diplomatic negotiations as its chief diplomat and failed to maintain peaceful economic and defense relations with foreign countries.
And:
[Trump] has repeatedly threatened and suggested that he intends to violate the Presidential term limits established by the 22d Amendment to the Constitution.
None of these are impeachable offenses, you knucklehead. This is an extended op-ed by an insane Leftist.
5. Trump Vindicated Again with Lowest Inflation Rate for April Since 2021
President Trump will certainly ask again, ‘Why won’t the always-late Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell lower the lending rate?’
The year-on-year inflation rate dropped in April to an encouraging 2.3 percent, down from 2.4 percent in March. This marks the third consecutive month of decline—a welcome trend for everyone tired of runaway prices. The Bureau of Labor Statistics laid it out clearly:
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.2 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis in April, after falling 0.1 percent in March, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the last 12 months, all items index increased 2.3 percent before seasonal adjustment.
And that 2.3 percent is the lowest inflation reading we have seen since back in February of 2021. For the third month running, the so-called “experts” who forecast these things actually overestimated how much prices would rise. Funny how that works when common-sense conservative policies are in place, yes?
Now, remember all that noise about how President Trump’s tariffs, especially those “Liberation Day” tariffs and the tough stance on China, were going to send prices soaring for American consumers?
Well, the April numbers effectively poured a big bucket of cold water on that fiery rhetoric.
Many economists fully expected those tariffs to push up consumer prices, but the report shows that simply has not happened.
NOTE: This cooling inflation is not merely an abstract number; it is translating into real relief for American families, especially for our seniors living on fixed incomes. Energy prices, a huge factor in household budgets, are down a significant 3.7 percent compared to a year ago. And gasoline? Prices at the pump have fallen a whopping 11.8 percent over the past year. That is more money in our pockets, plain and simple.
But the good news does not stop at the gas pump. Grocery prices fell 0.4 percent in April. And for a truly potent symbol of this turnaround, look no further than the breakfast table: egg prices plummeted 12.7 percent last month! That’s the biggest drop since 1984. Remember when the liberal colluding propaganda media made it sound like We the People would need a second mortgage to afford an omelet?
It turns out strong leadership can crack that problem too.
