Trump MOONSHOT – Big Guy Scores Massive Win

By dmgadmin

The Republican National Committee (RNC) and the campaign of former president Donald Trump declared on Saturday night that a Trump fundraiser in Palm Beach, Florida, had raised over $50 million in a single night, setting a new record for a presidential campaign’s single-fundraiser.

Shortly after Democratic President Joe Biden broke the previous mark, raising a then-record $26 million when he spoke in New York City with former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, Trump has now broken that record once again.

Nearly twice as many Republicans from the donor class turned to Trump for his Saturday night fundraiser as he did last month, when he surpassed the threshold of delegates required to be the presumed GOP nominee for president in a third consecutive election.

Senior campaign advisors to President Trump, Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles, released a statement saying, “Tonight will be a great night for President Trump and the Republican Party, generating an unbelievable $50.5 million.”

Meanwhile, Donald J. Trump is winning poll after poll and demonstrating that the public is behind him after securing the nomination in one of the most quickly held primaries in contemporary political history. It is now more evident than ever that we have the means, the strategy, and the message to help President Trump win on November 5.

Speaking at the fundraiser, newly appointed RNC chairman Michael Whatley and co-chair Lara Trump—Trump’s daughter-in-law—also claimed that it showed the GOP united behind Trump and prepared to take on Biden.

Whatley and Lara Trump stated, “The success of tonight’s event is demonstrating what we already know: Americans are fed up with Biden’s record of failure, from the open southern border and sky-high inflation to the migrant crime issue that has left everyone less safe.” People are queuing up to join our campaign and finally put an end to Crooked Joe Biden as the Republican Party unites behind the drive to elect President Donald J. Trump.

The fundraiser took place at the Palm Beach house of hedge fund billionaire John Paulson, a potential contender for Secretary of the Treasury should Trump win the election again in November. Dubbed the “Inaugural Leadership Dinner,” a number of contributors maxed out at $824,600, the event’s maximum amount, in exchange for a “Chairman level” experience that included Trump dining with them.

Former first lady Melania Trump, along with three of Trump’s prior intra-party challengers for 2024, Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), billionaire Vivek Ramaswamy, and North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, were also present at the fundraiser.

The New York Post obtained a copy of the fundraising invitation, which features a who-is-who of big-name GOP donors, including former Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) and her husband Jeffrey Sprecher, Todd Ricketts, Scott Bessent, John Catsimatidis, and Harold Hamm.

This historic Saturday night event for Trump comes after the RNC and Trump campaigns revealed earlier this week that they had already collected $65.6 million in March and had $93.1 million in cash on hand.

On the other hand, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Biden campaign declared at the end of March that they had raised a combined $90 million and had $192 million in cash on hand. Trump’s Saturday night event will significantly diminish Biden’s lead, and as the former president continues to raise funds and draw significant GOP donors after the primary concludes, Biden’s lead is likely to diminish.

Biden Targets Medicare For Big Changes

By dmgadmin

In response to allegations made by the 46th president that former President Donald Trump wants to cut entitlement programs, the Biden administration has completed its plan to eliminate Medicare Advantage.

On Monday, the Biden administration will reduce Medicare Advantage plan base payments by.16 percent on average, in defiance of Republican and medical expert opposition. This comes after Biden made contentious changes to the risk-adjusting coding system in an effort to purportedly improve the accuracy of Medicare Advantage payments.

Since many American seniors now rely on Medicare Advantage for their healthcare requirements, Biden’s decision would affect more than half of Medicare members. Experts predict that in 2025, seniors in America participating in Medicare Advantage may suffer a decrease in their supplementary benefits or an increase in cost-sharing of $33 per month.

“President Biden’s team is betting that MA recipients will not know before the election the advantages Biden’s team is causing them to lose come January 2025,” analyst Chris Meekins stated.

As Trump declared to Breitbart News that he would never touch Social Security or Medicare, Biden made the decision to cut back on Medicare Advantage. This contradicts Democratic and Biden’s promises that he will reduce entitlement spending.

Trump said, “I will never do anything that will threaten or harm Social Security or Medicare.” “There is nowhere else we can do it. However, we will not take any action that might harm them.

Ninety percent of Medicare Advantage subscribers were happy with their treatment, according to a Commonwealth Fund report from 2021. This percentage is comparable to that of regular Medicare. Medicare Advantage even performs better than Medicare on 16 key clinical quality criteria, according to research.

Biden formerly supported a measure that would examine and renew programs like Social Security and Medicare once they sunset, as Breitbart News reported:

Moreover, it is possible that Biden overlooked the fact that, back in 1975, as a Delaware senator, he proposed a bill that would have mandated the examination and reauthorization, or lack thereof, of government programs, including Social Security and Medicare. Sen. Rick Scott’s (R-FL) first proposal, which Biden has regularly criticized, is strikingly identical to this one. “We need to start evaluating current initiatives to see if they are still beneficial and if the funding we are providing them with makes sense.” Biden stated when presenting the 1975 legislation, “We have to get rid of the ones that are wasteful.”

Biden’s decision to eliminate Medicare Advantage has Republicans and conservatives inconsolable.

Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) said, “BREAKING: Biden just slashed Medicare payments once more.” Biden’s changes will cost the 2.8 million seniors in Florida who use Medicare Advantage an additional $400 annually. Biden’s attack on seniors is deplorable, and I am doing all in my power to change this awful choice.

“The Biden White House accuses me of trying to reform and save Medicare, while @JoeBiden is actively reducing Medicare for 33 million seniors,” stated Representative Kevin Hern (R-OK), the chairman of the Republican Study Committee (RSC).

Adam Brandon, president of FreedomWorks, said in a statement:

“The Biden administration persisted in criticizing Medicare Advantage, the private sector alternative for seniors on Medicare, yesterday. In two years, this is the second cut. Seniors will pay an additional $33 a month as a result of the most recent round of cutbacks. For a group of people who are mostly on fixed incomes but are still suffering from severe inflation, that is a $396 annual rate hike. 33 million seniors, or more than 50% of the senior population, choose Medicare Advantage over standard Medicare because it is so well-liked and popular. I find it astounding that the government is going after one of our elders’ most well-liked programs. For most Democrats, it seems uncharacteristic to remove a program as popular as Medicare Advantage unless doing so is a necessary first step toward achieving their ultimate objective of universal healthcare. Democrats have made it clear that they want a single-payer, universal Medicare-style system. Maybe Medicare Advantage and its 33 million members are just byproducts of the process.”

“Biden is eliminating Medicare Advantage coverage for 33 million Americans—and hoping they do not realize it until after the November election,” stated Heritage Action in a statement. The process of reducing benefits for seniors is as follows.

Prices Spike By 45%…WHERE Is Biden?

By dmgadmin

According to AAA, the average price of normal gasoline nationwide surpassed $3.54 per gallon on Wednesday, marking a rise of more than 45% under President Joe Biden.

Gas costs have increased by 20 cents ($3.34) in the last month, or around $1 higher than they were when Trump took office.

Due to industrial and political causes, gas prices are still high and may continue to rise. A major contributing element is Biden’s economic assault on US energy independence amid the unrest in the Middle East and Ukraine.

Goldman Sachs predicts that gasoline prices will hit $4 by May.

“There are several variables that increase the price of oil. Therefore, you should anticipate that OPEC+ will continue to reduce its output. In the Middle East, tensions have also increased. That has also been driving up rates, according to a Wednesday article from Ines Ferre of Yahoo News.”

Customers are starting to notice the price hike.

“I had to get this automobile right away since petrol costs have increased; it saves me gas. Former California resident Jose Torres told KFSN, “I used to have a truck and I would pump virtually every day, now it is every other day.”

CEO of King Operating Corporation, Jay Young, told NBC 5 in Dallas, “I just do not see it going down.” Thus, budget more if you intend to drive farther this summer. Regretfully, expect to pay more.

Customers need not be concerned, according to GasBuddy’s head of petroleum analysis, Patrick de Haan. He told ABC News, “We are generally exactly on track with what we like to observe.”

According to Breitbart News, petrol costs have been high historically, and not just in comparison to the extremely low prices during the epidemic lockdowns, when the weekly national average gas price dropped below $1.80. The average price of gasoline in 2018 was $2.72 per gallon. The average for the following year was $2.60.

Liberal Music Industry In Panic Over New Tech

By dmgadmin

Over two hundred recording artists from all age groups and genres have penned an open letter criticizing the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the music business.

The non-profit Artist Rights Alliance put it together, and a number of well-known musicians signed it, including the estates of Bob Marley and Frank Sinatra, as well as Billie Eilish, Katy Perry, Miranda Lambert, Imagine Dragons, Ja Rule, Julia Michaels, Kim Petras, Nicki Minaj, Pearl Jam, R.E.M. Sam Smith, Smokey Robinson, Sheryl Crow, Stevie Wonder, and Zayn Malik.

The letter warns against deepfakes and cloning, which are becoming serious problems, and calls on industry leaders to “stop the use of AI to infringe on and devalue human artists.” The group claims that technology will continue to advance, but it needs safeguards against specific uses of AI.

Additionally, it says that “irresponsible applications of AI” can result in lower royalties for artists. The letter states, “This would be terrible for many struggling musicians, artists, and composers who are just trying to make ends meet.”

“We think AI has a huge potential to boost human creativity in a way that promotes the creation and evolution of new experiences for music lovers globally, when used responsibly,” the statement reads. “Unfortunately, some developers and platforms are using AI to harm artists, composers, musicians, and rightsholders and hinder creation.”

“If left unchecked, artificial intelligence will initiate a downward spiral that will diminish the significance of human labor and impede us from receiving just compensation for it,” the letter adds. “We must defend against the rapacious use of AI to appropriate the voices and likenesses of professional musicians, infringe upon the rights of creators, and devastate the industry.”

The letter is released at a time when discussions over AI usage in the entertainment business, including music, television, and cinema, are still ongoing. The union members’ demand for job protection as AI usage rose was a contributing factor in the strikes by actors and writers that occurred last year.

Chicken Supply Threatened – Stockpile Now?

By dmgadmin

On Tuesday, the largest fresh egg producer in the US announced the discovery of bird flu in hens at a Texas factory and another facility in Michigan.

Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. released a statement stating that 337,000 pullets and an estimated 1.6 million laying hens were slaughtered at the Parmer County, Texas, operation due to avian influenza. That figure represents around 3.6% of the facility’s entire population, according to the Associated Press.

Situated approximately 370 miles northwest of Dallas in the panhandle of Texas, the facility shares a border with New Mexico. According to the article, the firm stated that it sells the majority of its eggs in the United States’ midwestern, mid-Atlantic, southeastern, and southwestern areas.

According to the statement, “The Company continues to engage closely with officials from the federal, state, and local governments as well as targeted industry organizations to limit the risk of future outbreaks and successfully manage the response.”

According to the comment, “Cal-Maine Foods is seeking to secure output from other plants to minimize inconvenience to its customers.”

The company said that it has not recalled any eggs and is not aware of any risks associated with eggs that are now on the market.

“The public is not at risk,” the article states, citing Cal-Maine’s notification made the day after state health officials claimed a person had been diagnosed with bird flu after coming into contact with cows thought to be contaminated.

According to federal health experts, the Texas human case represents the first recorded occurrence of this particular strain of bird flu spreading from a mammal to humans worldwide.

The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development reports that the Diagnostic Laboratory at Michigan State University also discovered bird flu at a commercial poultry plant in Ionia County.

According to the article, the agency announced that the laboratory confirmed the illness on Monday, marking the fourth time since 2022 that a commercial facility in Michigan has found the disease.

Department spokesman Jennifer Holton reports that the facility is currently under quarantine, and she anticipates no disruptions to the state’s supply chain. According to Holton, state law prohibits the agency from disclosing the type of poultry kept at the facility.

The paper states, “Last week, reports surfaced of bird flu illnesses in Texas and Kansas dairy cows. Later, federal agricultural officials confirmed infections in a dairy herd in Michigan that had recently acquired cows from Texas.” “A press statement from the USDA on Tuesday stated that a dairy herd in Idaho has been added to the list after federal agricultural officials verified the diagnosis of bird flu in them.”

Another Biden Trick Exposed – This One Involves BIG Money

By dmgadmin

Joe Biden’s campaign wants you to think that everything is just because he is raising a lot of money, even if his popularity numbers are terrible.

According to a recent New York Times investigation, Biden’s campaign had $71 million at the end of February, while Trump’s had $33.5 million. and that was before his extravagant, star-studded event in New York City that allegedly raised $26 million. The leftist media is portraying Trump as having difficulty raising money for his third presidential campaign while, like clockwork, using Biden’s fundraising figures as evidence that his campaign is not collapsing.

Democratic strategist Douglas Schoen stated last week that while former president Donald Trump may have a minor advantage against President Biden in early polls, the incumbent has a sizable lead in another race that is maybe just as crucial thus far out from November.

Given that Biden and the Democratic National Committee have been raising money together from the start of the campaign—Donald Trump only won the Republican nomination this month—part of Biden’s financial advantage has been an illusion. Even nevertheless, a closer examination of Joe Biden’s funding figures indicates serious problems for his campaign.

What matters is who is contributing to his campaign. Though Biden is undoubtedly gaining from large contributions from businesses and left-leaning interest groups, he is having trouble drawing in modest contributions from the general public.

A Fox Business examination of FEC filings indicates that big donors—those who have contributed more than $2,000—account for 35 percent of Biden’s 2024 reelection campaign funding. Just 38% of his contributions come from modest givers, namely those who provide $1 to $200. Conversely, the Trump campaign reports that an astounding 61% of its funding comes from small individuals, while only 9% comes from large contributors. Big contributors have given Biden ten times more money than they did in the last election cycle, while Trump’s numbers have dropped by the same amount.

Biden’s ongoing issue has been his inability to draw in modest donations. Politico revealed in August that Democrats are deeply worried about the dearth of modest contributors supporting Biden’s candidacy.

“Ahead of a challenging election campaign, Biden’s lack of grassroots involvement raises concerns about whether the 80-year-old incumbent is energizing the Democratic base in the manner necessary to win a second term. Additionally, it appears from the new statistics that contributors are no longer as motivated by the danger of Donald Trump, who was previously a major source of funding for Democrats.”

According to Ari Rabin-Havt, a former deputy campaign manager for Sen. Bernie Sanders’ 2020 presidential campaign, “small donors are a proxy for enthusiasm; if people are not concerned about the drop-off in contributions, then they just are not paying attention or whistling through the graveyard,” she told Politico.

Therefore, despite what the Biden campaign and the media are trying to portray, Biden’s fundraising totals are not as impressive as they seem. He is depending on the large financial resources of companies and affluent contributors to finance his campaign, but Trump has a clear advantage in terms of grassroots support.

Democrats Desperate To Defeat Trump – Their Fundraising Efforts Are Getting CRINGY

By dmgadmin

As the 2024 election draws near, former President Barack Obama and President Joe Biden are working closely together, suggesting that Obama is concerned about Biden’s possible loss to former President Donald Trump.

Biden contacts Obama on a regular basis to talk about personal issues and the current election. Obama is now taking charge by contacting Jeffrey D. Zients, Biden’s chief of staff, and important aides in the Biden campaign to plot and provide advice. However, talking to Old Joe and really doing anything do not seem to be the same thing. Obama’s involvement shows how much he worries about former President Trump defeating Biden rather than how much he supports the former president.

A senior advisor, who wished to remain anonymous, claimed that Obama has “always” been concerned about a Biden loss and is ready to “eke it out” with his former vice president in what seems to be a close race.

Following the death of his son Beau in 2015, Biden thought about running for president, but Obama discouraged him, thinking Hillary Clinton would be a stronger candidate. Obama’s dismissal of Biden left his advisers with unresolved animosity. In 2019, when Biden finally decided to challenge Trump, Obama first declined to provide his endorsement until following the Democratic primary.

Despite their rather chilly history, Obama and former President Bill Clinton’s mutual contempt for Trump and desire for continued power have strengthened their friendship even more as Obama gets ready to host a star-studded event for the Biden campaign on Thursday.

CBS’s “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” host Stephen Colbert will lead “Evening with Presidents” at Radio City Music Hall in New York. Along with Biden, Obama, and Clinton, he will facilitate an “armchair chat.”

Program presenter Mindy Kaling, an actress well known for her work on “The Office” and “The Mindy Project,” will be presenting the show. Musical guests Lizzo, Queen Latifah, Cynthia Erivo, Ben Platt, and Lea Michele will also perform during the evening. Three of Lizzo’s former backup dancers have accused her of sexual assault and harassment, making her a contentious pick. Still, there is nothing “on brand” that Billy and Joe cannot connect to.

Celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz will be taking photographs of attendees with the three presidents at the benefit. Presumably, due to inflation, a picture including all three presidents starts at $100,000. Donors who make gifts at the $250,000 and $500,000 levels will receive exclusive invitations to the three presidential events.

The campaign’s co-chairs, Jeffrey Katzenberg from DreamWorks, Rufus Gifford, the campaign finance chairman, and Anna Wintour, the U.S. artistic director of Condé Nast and inspiration behind the “devilish” character in “The Devil Wears Prada,” are all involved in organizing the fundraiser. Chris Korge, a seasoned Democratic fundraiser and the Biden Victory Fund Finance Chair, is leading the charge.

According to the organizers, this sold-out benefit is the first of its type.

Korge stated:

“This will be Joe Biden’s largest fundraising endeavor to date in his political career. It is the biggest fundraising occasion in Democratic Party history, I think. Additionally, it is the only occasion that three Democratic presidents have collaborated on a campaign fundraiser.”

The event hopes to draw about 3,000 people and raise at least $10 million. There are $250 to $500,000 worth of tickets available, making this projected to be Biden’s most profitable fundraiser to date. With the help of joint committees and the Biden campaign, the incumbent president amassed a significant war chest of $155 million in February—the most amount ever for a Democratic presidential contender at this point in the election season.

Hillary Clinton and Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda will hold another Broadway fundraiser for Biden the following month. $500 to $5,000 tickets will be available, and participants will see a production of “Suffs,” a musical about the women’s suffrage struggle that Hillary Clinton co-produced.

Trump Outsmarts Dems – MASSIVE Resources Gained

By dmgadmin

With the closing of a 29-month-long SPAC deal involving his social media company, Trump Media & Technology Group, and the lowering of the bond required in his New York civil fraud trial to appeal a $454 million legal verdict, former President Donald Trump’s net worth surpassed $6.4 billion on Monday.

Furthermore, even though Trump’s gains from the SPAC deal with the Digital World Acquisition company. may only be theoretical (any significant sales after his six-month lockup is over would probably destroy the price), the $4 billion increase was sufficient to get him added to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, which ranks the 500 richest people in the world.

Trump received approval to appeal the NY civil trial about his real estate, with a greatly lowered bail demand of $175 million. Trump promptly responded by saying he would post it.

A deal with the SEC and last-minute litigation from executives and investors did not prevent the SPAC merger from going through.

For Democrats, the timing could not be worse: the Biden campaign of 2024 chose this precise moment to mimic Trump’s slurs and nickname the outgoing president “Broke Don.” Even former President Barack Obama basically acknowledged that Biden’s campaign team is a bunch of idiots, so it appears that they need to start again. That was based on a new campaign finance report that revealed Biden outraised Trump in February.

Or not, as long as there are things like curbside voting and vote drops that arrive at 2 a.m. that are meant to be kept under wraps.

Why You Should Prepare For Even More Inflation

By dmgadmin

The Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse has caused the Port of Baltimore to come to a complete halt, posing hazards to the U.S. economy in the form of increased inflation, less productive capacity, and higher government deficits.

According to the most recent information available from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the Port of Baltimore was the 17th busiest port in the US in terms of total tonnage in 2021. The ports in New York-New Jersey, Mobile, Alabama, Virginia, and Savanah, Georgia, surpass it in size, making it the fifth biggest on the East Coast.

According to Governor Wes Moore, the port handled 52.3 million tons of international cargo in 2023, totaling $80.8 billion. It was an all-time high.

The port is “one of the greatest economic producers” in Maryland, according to Moore.

According to the governor’s office, it was the first in terms of the quantity of vehicles and light trucks (847,158 cars and light trucks), roll on/roll off heavy agriculture and machinery, sugar, and imported gypsum.

As per Moore, it ranked ninth overall in terms of the value of foreign cargo and ninth in terms of the amount of foreign cargo handled.

Serious supply chain problems for consumer goods and imports that go into items made in the United States might result from the port shutdown. It seems improbable that the remaining ports along the U.S. Eastern Seaboard will be able to accommodate all of the lost capacity.

This increases the risk of more inflation in the United States. Although inflation has decreased from the extremely high levels observed during the first two years of the Biden White House, it is still high by historical standards and more than what the Federal Reserve deems suitable for a robust economy. There have been concerns that disinflation may have waned due to the unusually high inflation rates seen in the first two months of this year.

During Bloomberg TV’s Surveillance program on Tuesday, Citigroup’s Andrew Hollenhorst stated, “These kinds of supply side shocks are the worst thing for the Fed and the worst event that can happen for the economy because what they do is reduce the productive capacity of the US economy and boost inflation at the same time.”

Resources that would have been used elsewhere will also need to be allocated for the clearance of the harbor and the reconstruction of the bridge, on top of the supply limitations. This may increase the pressure on prices.

In a time when government borrowing is already historically high, the budget deficit would rise if the U.S. government intervened to help finance the repairs, as is expected. Increased government expenditures may make inflation worse.

“We are probably moving out of this phase of deflation in goods that we have been in for the last six months or so,” Hollenhorst stated.

Democrats’ New Scheme To Force Immigrants Into Americans’ Homes

By dmgadmin

According to reports, the state of Michigan is promoting a scheme that pays residents $500 a month to welcome migrants.

Under the Newcomer Rental Subsidy scheme, “refugees” will be able to find housing outside of governmental facilities. Homeowners would be eligible for the help for a maximum of one year, according to MLive.com.

The state lists the following groups as qualifying: refugees, asylees, holders of special immigrant visas, victims of human trafficking, citizens of Cuba and Haiti, Afghans, and Ukrainians on humanitarian parole.

On March 21, 2024, hundreds of foreigners who had set up camp near the border knocked down the fence using sticks, hands, and whatever tools they possessed, covered the spikes with blankets, and crossed into the United States through Gate 36 in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. (Photo by Anadolu/Christian Torres via Getty Images)

People who entered under the Family Reunification Parole Process for El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Colombia, people whose asylum application is still ongoing, and other immigrant people on a case-by-case basis are also eligible.

The Michigan State Housing Development Authority’s executive director, Amy Hovey, asserted that the initiative will assist immigrants in “building a new life here.”

In a statement released at the program’s first announcement, Hovey remarked, “This program is really a win-win, since it tackles the most pressing obstacle to refugee resettlement by fulfilling housing requirements while setting up families for success with improved employment and opportunity.”

$4 million from the state-funded Michigan Housing and Community Development Fund is going toward the initiative.

With over 700 arrivals in 2022 alone, Michigan emerged as the ultimate destination for migrants from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Syria, Sudan, Burma, and Ukraine.

There are other places than Michigan that pay homeowners to house immigrants.

To save the City of Detroit, which has been drowning in the costs of sheltering Joe Biden’s illegals, politicians and activists in Denver started urging locals to take in migrants in December.
