President Donald Trump said he is “seriously” looking into replicating a version of the Australian retirement savings accounts program to increase the U.S. birth rate. On Tuesday, billionaires Michael and Susan Dell pledged to donate $6.25 billion to the Trump accounts, originally called MAGA Baby Bonuses, which were created by the “One Big, Beautiful Bill Act.” The plan was pitched as a way to incentivize people to have more children. The Daily Signal asked Trump if he had any further policy proposals in the works to raise the birth rate. ?President Trump just told me that he is looking into replicating a version of the Australian retirement savings accounts program in order to increase the U.S. birth rate.

I think this is very unique, but different from this, but very important.” The president clarified that he was referring to Australia’s retirement savings accounts program. Australia’s superannuation program, which was introduced in 1992, requires companies to contribute 11% of their workers’ monthly pay into a retirement plan. Employees can top up contributions from their paychecks. “We’re looking at it very seriously,” Trump said. “It’s a good plan. It’s worked out very well.” The post Trump Reveals Plan To Solve US Birth Rate Crisis appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Tina Peters, the former Mesa County, Colorado clerk, spent her second Thanksgiving in state prison, as local Democrats struggle to keep her there–despite the national ambitions of their governor. The organization representing the 64 Rocky Mountain State county clerks sent a Nov. 21 letter to Democrat Colorado Gov. Jared S. Polis urging the governor to reject entreaties from President Donald Trump’s Justice Department, specifically its Bureau of Prisons, and move Peters from state to federal custody. Transferring Peters into federal custody without any federal crime or sentence would not give the Department of Justice, through the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the ability to amend her sentence or grant her parole. The transfer would give the federal government control over Peters’ living conditions and confinement rules, potentially improving her quality of life while serving her time until Colorado elects a more sympathetic governor who could parole or even pardon her. “We, the multi-partisan Colorado County Clerks Association, respectfully ask that you not transfer former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters to federal custody,” read the letter, which was not signed, but sent on CCCA letterhead.  The 70-year-old Peters was convicted in October 2024 of various charges related to her efforts, with other individuals, to review the voting machines her county used during the 2020 presidential election.  Peters, a Republican, who buried her Navy SEAL son in 2017, after he was killed in an air show accident, was sentenced to nine years in state lockup and assessed thousands of dollars in fines.  Peters expressed her gratitude for those fighting to free her from prison with an X-post Friday.  “Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who kept me in their thoughts and sent prayers yesterday. This is the second year that I have spent Thanksgiving in prison,” she wrote. “Even when life challenges us and tragedy strikes, may we always remain grateful for the countless blessings we have each day,” she wrote. Complicating the clerks’ demand to keep Peters in her cell has been the failure of Polis to react directly to the federal request. The clerks wrote that the governor needs to speak out about what he is going to do–and requested a face-to-face meeting with Polis. “This personal meeting is crucial to ensure that the voices of those who bore the brunt of these events are fully heard.” A spokesman told Politco the governor was vigilant against an intrusive federal government, but would not address the Peters matter directly: “Governor Polis takes his responsibilities seriously and has been clear that he will take threats from the federal government head-on – especially when they undermine our democracy – which is why we have vigorously defended Colorado’s values during this turbulent time,” Polis spokesperson Shelby Wieman said. Just as Polis has played it soft regarding Peters, he has not dodged questions about his White House ambitions, which, if acted upon, would require he reach out to voters outside the safe confines of deep purple Colorado.  In 2022, the governor told the host of “Real Time with Bill Maher” that he would not rule out running for president. In February, appearing at the Politico Governors Summit, he claimed that seeking national office after his term ends in 2027 is not on the table. “I don’t have any plans to even think about that.” Of course. “Colorado’s clerks, Republicans and Democrats, and unaffiliated, have spent decades building one of the most accessible, secure, and transparent election systems in the nation,” the clerks said. “Every clerk in the state adhered to Colorado’s meticulous certification, audit, and oversight requirements,” they said. “These officials did their work with professionalism, accuracy, and integrity, even under tremendous pressure.” Peters’ actions were the exception, they said. “Ms. Peters was the one clerk who chose not to,” they said. “Her actions were not mistakes or misunderstandings; they were deliberate violations of Colorado law and or attempts to undermine public trust.” Colorado Public Radio reported that the Federal Bureau of Prisons sent a Nov. 12 letter to the Colorado Department of Corrections requesting custody of Peters. “Colorado Department of Corrections (CDOC) can confirm that on November 12, 2025, we received a letter from the Federal Bureau of Prisons regarding Tina Peters,” a DOC spokesperson wrote. “The letter is currently under review in accordance with all applicable departmental policies and procedures.” The department said there is a multi-step process to formally approve the transfer of an incarcerated individual to another jurisdiction, including a multi-disciplinary assessment, and that it can’t be initiated by an outside entity. “This process is typically reserved for complex cases involving significant, long-term safety and security needs,” said a DOC spokesperson. Inmate swaps between states and with the federal government are common, and the procedures are codified in the Interstate Agreement on Detainers, as well as with court-sanctioned writs.  The BOP request for an inmate transfer comes eight months after the Justice Department filed a March 3 Statement of Interest related to Peters’s own Feb. 6 federal habeas corpus petition, asserting to the judge that Justice was reviewing Peters’ conviction. A habeas corpus proceeding is a challenge to the government’s circumstances for, literally, holding the body, or incarcerating an individual. It has a long history in English law, evolving from the centuries of conflict between the English monarchs and their nobles. The concept of this right to contest government detention was brought to the American colonies, and included in the Constitution’s Article I.  The DOJ statement, which functioned as an amicus brief, was rejected March 11 by a state judge, and Aug. 18, Colorado’s Democrat Attorney General Philip J. Weiser filed a motion to dismiss the habeas corpus petition formally. We publish a variety of perspectives. Nothing written here is to be construed as representing the views of The Daily Signal.

The Reviews Are In For Nuzzi's Book, And ... Hoo Boy

Will Walz Finally Be Taken Down By His Collusion With Somali Fraudsters?

What will it take to get crime under control in our subways and public transit systems? On Monday, news broke of another passenger set on fire in New York City’s subway — though this story wasn’t all it seemed. The homeless man who at first said he was the victim of an attack turned tight-lipped when police pressed him about what happened. Had he set his own clothes ablaze to attract attention? In the wild environment our subways have become, a malicious attack or a madman’s self-inflicted injury are both all too believable. Most trips on the New York subway or Washington, D.C.’s metro system don’t resemble a clip from “Mad Max,” but sooner or later anyone who rides the rails of our cities regularly encounters insanity, aggression and the prospect of violence — or actual violence, including the murderous kind. The life-changing and very nearly life-ending attack on Bethany MaGee, the woman set aflame on a Chicago Blue Line train last month, was no hoax. Nor was the assault that killed Iryna Zarutska on a commuter train in Charlotte, North Carolina, this summer. Nor was the burning alive of Debrina Kawam on the New York subway last December. None of those women had any reason to fear for her life, yet a commute turned into unspeakable terror. And it was predictable — not because these victims had anything special to fear but because everyone knows what’s allowed to happen in the tunnels and on the trains. If a thug with 72 arrests to his name, like the man who tried to immolate the 26-year-old MaGee in Chicago — or with “just” 14 arrests, like Iryna’s murderer — decides this is the day to take an unsuspecting victim, what chance does she have? Her fate was already decided by judges who chose not to lock up men who were a demonstrated threat to the public. The killers and would-be killers are only half the problem. The other half are the judges and lawmakers who put them on the streets in the first place, leaving them free to ambush unsuspecting victims on train cars, where they can’t escape. (MaGee did try running, but her attacker caught up and torched her.) Legislators in North Carolina, at least, are trying to stop this murderous chain of events before it begins, by putting men with criminal records like those of Iryna’s killer in prison or mental institutions as soon as they start breaking the law. “Iryna’s Law” restricts cashless bail, requires judges to order more mental evaluations, and makes it easier to involuntarily commit offenders found to be disturbed. It also attempts to restore the death penalty in North Carolina, which has been blocked for nearly 20 years by legal challenges. The law is a good start, and other states need similar reforms to incarcerate and institutionalize more of the people who commit horrors like the subway attacks of recent months. There’s a federal role in this, too, including rigorous enforcement of immigration law: Sebastian Zapeta-Calil, the man charged with burning Kawam to death, is an illegal immigrant who should never have been in this country to begin with. Yet more is needed: not only zero tolerance toward violent and repeat offenders but zero tolerance in the political process for judges who go easy on them. Some states elect judges, and voters in those places can make known just how they feel about judges’ culpability for crimes committed by the lawbreakers they set loose. And states have provisions for impeaching judges, just as the federal government does. Where judges egregiously endanger the public with their leniency toward criminals, they should be impeached and removed from office. It wouldn’t take many examples before soft-on-crime judges got the message. Of course, judges themselves, where they aren’t elected by the public, are appointed by politicians who have to answer to voters — and those pols should feel the heat, too. Five years ago, progressives were pushing, in all seriousness, to “defund the police” and “abolish bail,” meaning, in the latter instance, simply releasing a wider array of arrestees. In most of the country, those slogans were not political winners, but advocates for these policies count more on elite sympathy, especially within the legal profession, than they do on ballot-box victories. Their gamble is that most Americans pay no mind to the inner workings of state courts and legislatures, so what loses in an election can still win where laws and legal precedents are actually made. This populist moment in national politics arises from the distrust our leaders have engendered among the public. But leaders in states and cities have betrayed Americans’ trust, too, and their betrayal turns public transportation into scenes of public execution for innocents like Iryna Zarutska.

Two National Guard members were shot in what is believed to be a targeted attack near the White House — and the left is already blaming the president for the devastating holiday shooting.One left-wing X account titled “Call to Activism” wrote, “BREAKING: Both National Guard members who were shot in Washington, DC, just one block from the White House, have died from their injuries. God bless them and their families.”“History will wonder what we’re all thinking: why did Trump have to put them in harm’s way for a STUNT?” the user added.“Of course, that’s not true,” BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere says on “Stu Does America.” “But again, when is that ever the consideration when posting something?”When West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey wrote a heartfelt response to the shooting on X, one X user responded, “They should not have been there. You sent them to die for a stunt.”Keith Olbermann also took the time to respond, writing, “Trump put them in harm’s way, fash.”“Now, fash in this particular sense is short for fascist, which he’s said about every Republican he’s ever come across for as long as anyone’s known him,” Burguiere comments, pointing out that some are even blaming the shooting on guns.“If you want to go and kill one person with a gun, it’s relatively easy to do anywhere in the world. So it’s just insane to blame this on guns,” he says.However, the suspect has been identified as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old man who came to the U.S. from Afghanistan in 2021.“This is something the Biden administration wanted and executed in the worst possible fashion,” Burguiere says.“You can’t control whether one person does something terrible. We have people, we have our own citizens, who do plenty of terrible things. This is why you don’t import more of it, right? We have enough crap going on here already without bringing in people who will kill us from foreign conflicts with nations we were at war with very recently. It doesn’t make any sense to import more of that,” he continues.“If you import somebody like that, you better freaking be sure things go well,” he adds.Want more from Stu?To enjoy more of Stu's lethal wit, wisdom, and mockery, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

President Donald Trump has stood firm about his opposition to third-world immigration, especially from Somalia. Somalians have flooded Minnesota under the leadership of Democratic-Farmer-Labor Gov. Tim Walz, whom Trump described as "seriously retarded" in a Truth Social post over Thanksgiving. In the same post, Trump announced he would be indefinitely pausing migration from third-world countries like Somalia and reiterated his position during a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday. 'I don't want them in our country.'Trump takes issue with the cultural and economic burden of importing tens of thousands of Somalians into a state like Minnesota, as well as the ungrateful attitude of migrants like Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar. "Somalia, which is barely a country, you know, they have no anything. They just run around killing each other. There's no structure," Trump said. "And when I see somebody like Ilhan Omar, who I don't know at all, but I always watched her for years. I've watched her complain about our Constitution, how she's being treated badly. ... 'The United States of America is a bad place.' Hates everybody.""I think she's an incompetent person. She's a real terrible person."

"Billions every year. Billions of dollars, and they contribute nothing. The welfare is like 88%. They contribute nothing."Trump went on to say that America cannot afford to "keep taking in garbage into our country," referring to third-world migrants who "do nothing but complain." "I don't want them in our country; I'll be honest with you," Trump said. "Some might say, 'Oh, that's not politically correct.' I don't care. I don't want them in our country. Their country is no good for a reason. Their country stinks, and we don't want them in our country. I can say that about other countries too.""We have to rebuild our country," Trump said. "... We're at a tipping point. I don't know if people mind me saying that, but I'm saying it. We could go one way or the other, and we're going to go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country."RELATED: 'Send them back': Somalia First pitted against America First in Minnesota as Ilhan Omar attacks Trump over special status Photo by Roberto Schmidt/Getty ImagesTrump urged migrants like Omar, who have developed a disdain for America's culture and founding, to go back to their own countries and fix them instead of siphoning public resources and ceaselessly complaining."Ilhan Omar is garbage; she's garbage," Trump said.
