April 25, 2025
Dear Patriot,
Enjoy good news and a good weekend!
1- We love this idea and we love that President Trump is personally paying for it. It is unheard of for any elected people to reach into their own pocket. They are typically busy reaching into OUR pockets.
President Trump loves America and our beautiful flag. He is Making Us Proud Again!
Trump To Personally Fund New Patriotic Addition To White House Grounds
QUOTE: President Donald Trump announced he will personally fund the installation of two nearly 100-foot-tall American flags at the White House, declaring that the presidential residence has “needed flagpoles for 200 years.”
“We’re putting up a beautiful, almost 100-foot-tall American flag on this side and another one on the other side, two flags, top of the line,” Trump told reporters outside the White House.
The two flags, to be positioned on the North and the South Lawns respectively, will significantly alter the White House’s exterior appearance, making the American flag more prominently visible from multiple vantage points around the presidential residence.
Currently, there is no freestanding flagpole on the White House property, with the only American flag flying from the top of the building itself.
Trump emphasized that the new additions would be “paid for by Trump,” noting the flags are scheduled to arrive next week.
2- Manufacturing jobs come in many flavors! This will have a massive impact on the lives of many in New York.
And, they are going to need a lot of cows!
Chobani to invest $1.2 billion for New York production facility
QUOTE: Chobani, which got its start in 2005 as a Greek-style yogurt producer, will be building a $1.2 billion production facility in Rome, New York. The facility will be capable of producing over one billion pounds of dairy products per year, and will create more than 1,000 jobs.
The facility, once at full capacity, will process over 12 million pounds of milk per day, and will nearly double Chobani’s workforce in the state. Chobani now controls around one-fifth of the American yogurt market. In March, Chobani announced that it would invest $500 million to expand an Idaho factory.
This comes as companies across the country and the globe are investing in American manufacturing under the Trump administration. Among the companies to announce hefty investments are Hyundai, Eli Lilly, Johnson & Johnson, and Nvidia, as well as others.
3- Growing production in the United States. This is a small company but it’s success in America has a ripple effect that eventually touches everyone.
GOP lawmaker touts $19M Trump tariff success story in her district: 'New model for American manufacturing’
QUOTE: An Indiana lawmaker is celebrating an American bicycle company opening a new manufacturing plant in her district after President Donald Trump launched his aggressive tariff campaign against China.
Rep. Erin Houchin, R-Ind. says that Guardian Bikes is starting with a new $19 million investment in Seymour, Indiana to expand their operations there – which she said will create new local jobs.
"The number of job opportunities that are available, the investment right here in southern Indiana, that’s money that’s staying right here at home and not going outside the country. And certainly away from China," Houchin said.
The Indiana Republican, now in her second term, said she first visited Guardian Bikes shortly after being elected to Congress. Then they had just 16 employees.
"At the time, they talked to us about their desire to become a 100% made in the USA bicycle factory," Houchin said. "Currently, over 97% of bicycles are made outside of the United States. Many are assembled in the United States, but their component parts mostly come from China.” Guardian Bikes specifically relied on Chinese imports for 70% of its production, she said. After Trump’s election in November 2024, however, she said "they have been slowly working toward being 100% made in the USA.”
"They just announced $19 million in financing with JPMorgan Chase to launch the first large-scale bicycle frame manufacturing operation in the United States," Houchin said. "This has been made possible by President Trump’s trade policies…it's just pretty incredible that we have a president right now that is focused so much…on creating a level playing field for American companies."
Houchin said the company is aiming to increase its "mass market" bicycles manufactured in the U.S. from 100,000 to over 1 million.
4- Roche is expanding production in eight states.
Trump Effect: Swiss Pharma Giant Roche to Invest $50+ Billion in U.S.
QUOTE: Swiss pharmaceutical giant Roche announced Tuesday it will invest upwards of $50 billion in the United States over the next five years, a move that follows in the wake of President Donald Trump’s announcement of proposed tariffs on imported drugs.
The U.S. is a critical market for the pharmaceutical industry, representing more than half of the revenue of Roche’s pharmaceutical division, AFP reports.
As part of this investment, Roche will increase its existing footprint of more than 25,000 employees in 24 sites across eight U.S. states.
Major pharmaceutical investments are just the latest in an influx into the United States since Trump returned to office and began warning of – and imposing – his tariff policies.
Stargate, a joint project between OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank, has pledged a $500 billion investment in America, and Apple announced it is investing $500 billion in America, which are just a few of the other examples.
5- Trump and Burgam are cutting the red tape for permitting so America can get cooking!
This kickstarts the economy and keeps our grids from going down.
Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to Streamline Permitting Time from Years to One Month
QUOTE: Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said Wednesday that the department’s streamlining of permits will bring department review time from potentially years to just 28 days.
Following President Donald Trump’s National Emergency Declaration, the Department of the Interior under Secretary Burgum moved to implement emergency permitting procedures to accelerate the development of energy resources and critical minerals.
The energy resources which will be included in the fast-tracked permitting process include:
Crude oil
Natural gas
Lease condensates
Natural gas liquids
Refined petroleum products
Uranium
Coal
Biofuels
Geothermal energy
Kinetic hydropower
Critical minerals
Burgum said in a statement that it is a matter of national security to shorten the permitting process. “By reducing a multi-year permitting process down to just 28 days, the Department will lead with urgency, resolve, and a clear focus on strengthening the nation’s energy independence.”
“We’ve got to start building. Got to build power generation. We’ve got to build more base load power. We got dangerously out of whack between intermittent, unreliable, expensive, versus the affordable, low-cost base load. That endangers our whole grid."
6- Trump signed another bold executive order this week. This one cuts at the heart of DEI hiring in the government.
The left's secret weapon is called 'disparate impact.' Trump just crushed it into dust
QUOTE: With one blistering executive order, Trump took a sledgehammer to the very foundation of the DEI movement. That’s right—47 just gutted the so-called “legal theory” that’s been used for decades to punish businesses, control hiring, and force unfair racial quotas under the phony guise of “civil rights.” This was the left’s top-secret weapon—and it was called “disparate impact”—and until now, it’s been holding America back from greatness.
DEI has turned hiring into a massive charity scheme. It’s put merit behind skin color. It’s made corporate America obsessed with optics, not output. But it’s not just companies getting hosed. It’s poisoned our military, our schools, our government, and every major institution with race-obsessed politics. And at the core of this entire plot is a legal theory many people don’t know about: disparate impact.
So what exactly is disparate impact? Disparate impact basically says this: if you have a hiring policy, school policy, or business practice that treats everyone the same, you’re guilty of “discrimination.” Even if there was no intent to discriminate and everyone had equal opportunity, the government could come in and accuse you of bias. That’s how the left pushed DEI so deep into our systems. They didn’t have to prove racism. They just had to show some uneven results. It gave them complete control over hiring, and companies and institutions bent the knee.
Trump just shut it all down. President Trump signed an executive order that removed disparate impact from the federal government. He pulled the plug on agencies enforcing it and even asked the DOJ and other departments to root it out—everywhere it exists.
Now, employers can go back to hiring based on excellence, skill, and merit again. You don’t have to tiptoe around these dangerous and anti-American DEI quotas just to avoid getting sued. Trump’s big, bold move is the government officially stepping out of the race micromanagement business.
What’s really strange is how the propaganda media is barely even touching the story. This was a massive blow to the heart of DEI—and they just can’t bring themselves to take the “L.”
This is how you take back a nation—not with slogans or hashtags, but with real, lawful power, boldly used for the American people. DEI was never about diversity—it was always about control. And now, the head of the snake has been chopped off, and America can finally start to heal.
7- The left has a million ways to cheat…ActBlue is one of them.
Trump may be able to at least slow them down a little.
Trump Sets Sights on Notorious Democrat Fundraising Machine
QUOTE: President Donald J. Trump is set to crack down on the notorious Democrat fundraising platform ActBlue. The America First leader is signing a memorandum on Thursday, April 24, targeting foreign contributions to American elections. Many have claimed that foreigners could exploit ActBlue for such purposes.
A senior White House official disclosed that Attorney General Pam Bondi will be tasked with investigating whether ActBlue facilitated contributions via “dummy” accounts or allowed foreign nationals to donate to Democratic entities.
Until recently, ActBlue did not mandate card verification value (CVV) numbers for financial transactions, and allegations arose about internal directives encouraging ActBlue employees to be “more lenient” in accepting contributions. Between September and October 2024 alone, at least 237 overseas transactions reportedly involving prepaid cards were identified as suspicious by Republicans.
U.S. federal law bans any foreign nationals and governments from contributing to federal, state, or local election campaigns. Still, a lack of vetting means foreign donor restrictions can be circumvented.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton launched his own investigation into ActBlue in December 2023. He alleges that the platform is being exploited to make straw donations using prepaid cards. Paxton has claimed there is evidence that people have used false identities and untraceable payment methods.
8- Anytime the Trump Administration can outwit a radical leftist judge we will celebrate. Seems that alphabet agencies are interchangeable!
Trump Administration Utilizes a Brilliant Workaround to Outwit Biden Judge
QUOTE: The Trump Administration pulled off an incredibly creative move to humiliate an activist judge trying to stop them from deporting dangerous illegal aliens.
Team Trump revealed on Wednesday how they managed to avoid violating a federal judge’s restraining order barring them from deporting certain illegals.
U.S. District Court Judge Brian E. Murphy, a Biden appointee, ordered the Trump administration to ensure that people with final removal orders have a chance to argue that deportation to a country other than their own could jeopardize their safety.
The Trump administration, though, exploited a loophole in the ruling and deported several illegal aliens anyway. It turns out Murphy’s order only applied to the Department of Homeland Security, not any other federal agencies.
So, Team Trump decided to use the Department of Defense (DOD) to ship out illegal aliens, thus outwitting Murphy. In a Wednesday court filing, an attorney representing DHS pointed out that because the DOD is not a defendant in the case, the deportations it has carried out so far comply with the Biden judge’s order.
Judge Murphy’s order was initially a setback for the administration, which has sought to send some deported criminal illegal immigrants to countries they are not originally from, like El Salvador. The Trump Administration is using the Alien Enemies Act to fast-track these deportations.
9- This effort will take a while to accomplish but we are thrilled the process has begun!
RFK Jr.: Era of Poisonous Compounds in Our Food ‘Is Coming to an End’
QUOTE: The era of poisonous compounds being injected into the U.S. food supply is “coming to an end,” Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Thursday.
“For too long, some food producers have been feeding Americans petroleum-based chemicals without their knowledge or consent,” Kennedy said.
“These poisonous compounds offer no nutritional benefit and pose real, measurable dangers to our children’s health and development. That era is coming to an end,” he said, declaring that the United States is restoring a “gold-standard science, applying common sense, and beginning to earn back the public’s trust.”
“And we’re doing it by working with industry to get these toxic dyes out of the foods our families eat every day,” he added.
10- On Tuesday, April 30, President Trump will celebrate his second term, First 100 Days, with a “yugh" rally in Michigan.
Below is one scorecard of Trump achievements in just 100 days.
Go to the link for all promises kept….so far.
100 Days In: Trump’s Word Is His Bond
1. The Border is Closing—Fast
Day One, the new Trump Department of Homeland Security—under the iron will of Secretary Kristi Noem—reinstated Remain in Mexico, revoked Biden’s reckless parole authority abuses, and began mass processing of illegal entrants for immediate deportation.
Border apprehensions have dropped 41% since January. Trump didn’t need 100 days to act—he needed one. And construction has resumed on key wall segments. ICE raids are back. Sanctuary cities are sweating. And the asylum loopholes are slamming shut.
2. Energy Independence, Round Two
Remember $7 gas? Trump does too.
One of his first executive actions in 2025 reopened federal lands and offshore zones for energy development. Permitting for natural gas pipelines has been fast-tracked. The war on coal is over. And OPEC+—which spent the Biden years jerking America around—is suddenly dealing with a U.S. energy giant that’s not playing nice anymore.
Just 100 days in, and gas prices have dropped 54 cents nationally. That’s not a coincidence. That’s leadership.
