A new executive order from President Donald Trump, among the latest in his long list of dozens of actions he’s taken to protect America from illegal aliens and the transgender ideology, and to cut government waste and fraud, puts a bull’s-eye on the taxpayer money being used to “incentivize or support” illegal immigration. The idea is to make certain “taxpayer resources are used to protect the interests of American citizens, not illegal aliens,” said the order, which also cited statistics from the Federation for American Immigration Reform. That group said American taxpayers are being forced to pay at least $182 billion a year to cover the expenses of 20 million illegal aliens and their children, including more than $66 billion in federal expenses and $115 billion paid by states and local governments. Further, the Center for Immigration Studies reported 1 million illegal aliens could cost American taxpayers $3 billion a year through welfare programs to which they are not supposed to have access under the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996. But illegal aliens who are granted parole become “qualified aliens,” allowing access to various benefits. Further, the Congressional Budget Office reported federal and state taxpayers handed over more than $16.2 billion to give Medicaid-funded emergency services to illegal aliens. A report from the Washington Examiner said the order directs all federal agencies and departments to identify benefits funded by taxpayers that illegal immigrants get and “take corrective action.” Eligibility verification also will be stepped up to block benefits being distributed to those in the nation illegally. The U.S. House Homeland Security Committee reported earlier that illegal aliens have drained some $450 billion from public funds over the past four or five years, and FEMA has delivered more than $1 billion to illegals over the say time period. “My administration will uphold the rule of law, defend against the waste of hard-earned taxpayer resources, and protect benefits for American citizens in need, including individuals with disabilities and veterans,” Trump said.

President Donald Trump’s inspection of all of American government to root out wasteful spending, fraud and even criminal behavior has resulted in confirmation from the Department of Energy that its officials have eliminated $124 million in “wasteful” spending. That was what was being spent on “ridiculously expensive” subscriptions and more. A report from Fox News explained that department spokesman Ben Dietderich told the network in an interview that the total of $124 million included, “millions of dollars of DEI contracts to ridiculously expensive multi-million-dollar Politico news subscriptions” and other nonessential line items. He pointed out, “We are just getting started.” Some identified expenditures already have been obligated, so there will be an “immediate” savings of about $65 million. But there will be “more to come in the coming months and years,” he said. “President Trump and Secretary [Chris] Wright are fully committed to making government more accountable, efficient, and restoring proper stewardship of the American taxpayer’s dollars.” He said the cuts so far come from “needless expenditures.” He charged that the corrections are coming after Joe Biden’s failed leadership. “The previous administration was not a responsible steward of taxpayer dollars: In just four years, the Biden administration expanded the Department of Energy’s federal workforce by more than 20% – adding more than 3,000 federal employee positions,” he said. “In the last year alone, the Biden administration increased the size of the Energy Department federal workforce with 1,000 new employees. Delivering on President Trump’s mandate supported by more than 77 million Americans, the Energy Department began last week dismissing a portion of recently hired federal employees classified in the federal government as ‘probationary employees.'” Wright also said, according to the report, that the Biden administration’s Green New Deal is in the process of being “killed off” as Trump’s plan is to lower energy and oil costs for Americans.  

276 mostly Christian schoolgirls were abducted by Boko Haram in late April 2014. Dozens of Christians have been slaughtered, and dozens more kidnapped, in a string of attacks by Islamists across the expanses of Nigeria, according to a new report. It is Baptist Press that described the massacre that has been documented by Christian Daily International-Morning Star News across Nigeria since just late last month. “At least three pastors were killed in attacks in Kaduna in north-central Nigeria and Gombe in northeastern Nigeria. In the most recent attack, Islamic extremist group Boko Haram is accused of killing Bala Galadima, an Evangelical Church Winning All pastor, in an attack at his home in Lubo, Gombe, on Feb. 9,” the report documented. The violence that is estimated to have cost at least 50 lives so far is being blamed on Boko Haram, an Islamist gang, as well as Islamist Fulani tribesmen, with the violence being described as extreme. Galadima, for example, reportedly was shot to death at point-blank range in his back while he was in his own bed at 1 a.m. Another ECWA pastor, Bitrus Saleh Africa, was killed Feb. 5, with three other Christians, the report said. Yet another ECWA pastor, “identified only as Rev. Ezekiel,” was killed Jan. 30 by attackers identified as Fulani bandits in Kaduna. In what probably was the deadliest single attack, the report said, 16 people in The Lord Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministry were murdered Feb. 2 when Fulani militants reportedly stormed a village in Ebonyi state. International Christian Concern reported that attack culminated when the attackers burned down many homes. Another six Christians were killed, eight kidnapped, and more homes were burned in three villages in Benue state. A series of attacks from Jan. 27-Feb 1 in Plateau state left at least 11 Christians dead and more kidnapped. “Dear God, please come to our aid. We need you here in Mangu, Plateau State. My heart bleeds,” CDI-Morning Star reported local resident Nanbam Denan texted to news outlets. Another resident, identified as Bankat, said, “Terrorists we know to be Fulani herdsmen invaded Lightitlubang village and killed five Christians – a man, his wife and a child, alongside another Christian couple. The victims were slaughtered by the terrorists.” Fulani tribespeople are predominantly Muslim and comprise numerous clans totaling millions in Nigeria. Open Doors, the report said, ranked Nigeria as the 7th most dangerous country for Christians in its 2025 World Watch List. It, in fact, remains the deadliest country for Christians, with 3,100 murdered during 2024.  

The presidency of Donald Trump is developing into a constitutional crisis, as claimed by Democrats all across Washington. But it’s because judges are inserting themselves into the power the Constitution gives to the executive branch, not because of anything being undertaken by Trump. And one of the most egregious, “Frankensteinian,” campaigns is being undertaken by those judges who are demanding that the government continue funding the body mutilations on children of the transgender ideology. That’s according Tyler O’Neil, the senior editor at the Daily Signal, who said in a commentary, “Activists use the gaslighting term ‘gender-affirming care’ to hide the ugly truth. In the name of medicine, doctors are altering the chemistry of boys and girls to prevent them from undergoing the natural process of puberty. They’re using the very same drugs that prisons use to chemically castrate sexual offenders and they’re calling it ‘care.'” He followed with an explanation of the drugs used, “Gonadatropin-releasing hormone agonists,” which former Food and Drug Administration commissioner on policy and drug safety adviser David Gortler explained are used to help treat certain cancers that depend on estrogen or testosterone. “Removing estrogen and testosterone from cancer patients to prolong their lives makes sense. But giving these drugs to physiologically and genetically healthy kids is a completely different story,” the commentary noted. He said what’s stunning that Democrat attorneys’ general sued to keep using the drugs that harm children, and “judges ordered the administration to keep funding these Frankensteinian ‘treatments.'” Gortler cited an FDA database that showed 2,510 children 14 and younger have documented, while taking those drugs, “hallucinations, bone disorders, cardiac arrest, abdominal pain, a clot in the heart, seizures, blindness, and more.” “Horrifyingly, the database included 30 records noting the death of a minor between zero and 14 where a ‘puberty blocker’ was the primary suspect drug,” O’Neil reported. Gortler has charged that the Joe Biden White House was “selectively turning a blind eye” to the dangers, even though the drugs are “objectively unsafe.” O’Neil’s publication already documented that a top FDA official admitted the drugs are associated with a higher risk of suicidal thoughts. A step beyond the chemicals, he noted, is “the most controversial and grotesque aspect of gender-affirming care, the Frankensteinian rejection of biological sex via the surgical removal of sex organs and the attempt to replace them with facsimiles of the organs of the opposite sex.” He noted even advocates admit there’s no definitive research proving such mutilations “have positive outcomes.” And a vast majority, 72%, of Americans want to outlaw the activities. The current situation is that Trump issued an executive order declaring his administration will operate on the basis that biological sex overrides vague “gender identity” ideologies. “This means the U.S. government will no longer endorse the ideology that says it’s good to mutilate a child’s body to make it appear like the opposite sex.” It’s worse, however, because Democrats now are trying to force taxpayers to fund “these transgender atrocities with Americans’ tax dollars.” Two lawsuits were filed to force taxpayers to continue to funding the agenda. U.S. District Judge Brendan Hurson, a Biden appointee in Maryland, issued a 14-day temporary restraining order to block Trump’s directive applying the Hyde Amendment’s rationale to gender-affirming care, and U.S. District Judge Lauren King, another Biden appointee in Washington state, also issued a 14-day temporary restraining order to block the Trump rule, the report said. As the fights move forward, the Department of Justice has pointed out that a judge halting Trump’s orders is “a remarkable intrusion on a separate branch of government, in conflict with Article II” of the Constitution.
