Go Fish.
April 21, 2025
Dear Patriot,
Holy Week was another busy week for the Trump Team. Too bad the US Congress is still not working to further Trump’s agenda.
Here are a few items to get your new week started.
Make Fishing Great Again!
How the American Medical Association is ripping us all off.
The new White House Covid-CCP website finally tells the truth.
The unexpected interest in Christianity by a young generation.
1- There are many aspects of American life that have been put under pressure by regulations from Obama and Biden.
Last week, Trump signed an executive order to “Make Fishing Great Again”!
This is another industry that has had the boot of government on its necks for decades. Trump is opening the sea to more jobs, more American fish, and less imported weird fish products from China.
You probably had no clue that Obama and Biden locked down huge areas from US fishing. And they also took away most development of fishing from Alaska.
As always, Trump sees the big picture and all the moving parts.
President Donald J. Trump Unleashes American Commercial Fishing in the Pacific
QUOTE: UNLEASHING OPPORTUNITY IN THE PACIFIC: Thursday, President Donald J. Trump signed a proclamation to unleash American commercial fishing in the Pacific Ocean—a key component of the America First Fishing Policy.
• The proclamation opens the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument (PRIMNM) to commercial fishing, boosting the economy of American Samoa.
• It allows U.S.-flagged vessels to fish commercially within 50 to 200 nautical miles of the PRIMNM’s boundaries.
EMPOWERING AMERICAN COMMERCIAL FISHERMEN: President Trump believes that removing unnecessary restrictions on American fishermen will strengthen the U.S. economy, support local communities, and restore fairness to an industry disadvantaged by overregulation and foreign competition.
• The PRIMNM was first established by President Bush in 2009 and then expanded by President Obama, closing off over 400,000 square miles of the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone in the Pacific.
• The ban on commercial fishing within the PRIMNM did little to guard fish populations against overfishing, as tuna and other pelagic species are migratory in nature and do not permanently reside within the PRIMNM.
• As a result of the prohibitions on commercial fishing, American fishing fleets have lost access to nearly half of the United States’ Exclusive Economic Zone in the Pacific Islands.
• This has driven American fishermen to fish further offshore in international waters to compete against poorly regulated and highly subsidized foreign fleets, most notably from China.
• By supporting honest American fishermen, we combat the rampant illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing by foreign fleets.
• This disadvantages United States commercial fishermen and is detrimental for United States territories like American Samoa, whose private sector economy is dependent on the fishing industry.
• American Samoa is home to the only Buy American-compliant tuna processing facility for U.S. military rations and school lunch programs.
• This cannery is the largest employer on the island, providing about 5,000 jobs. In fact, the cannery accounts for 99.5% of American Samoa’s exports and 84% of the private employment in the territory.
