[Real Clear Wire] On the day of his second inauguration, President Donald Trump issued an executive order entitled "Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship."
Sounds innocent enough, right? But this is the infamous order declaring that birthright citizenship does not extend to children of parents who are in the United States illegally or temporarily.
"Not so fast," said attorneys for illegal aliens and their children. "Our clients snuck across the border fair and square and they want the prize promised them by the Constitution — U.S. citizenship for all children born after they crossed the border."
But is that really what the Constitution says? Here are the words from the 14th Amendment:
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.
As President Trump noted in his executive order, the words "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" have always been used to exclude certain classes of people from birthright citizenship. That included, for instance, children of diplomats, who enjoy immunity in their host country. For several decades, it also included Native Americans of certain tribes that had entered into treaties that provided at least partial sovereignty. Those exclusions are not in the Constitution, but they are in the law. So why can’t there be an exclusion for illegal immigrants?
Trump’s executive order correctly recognizes that the higher purpose of the 14th Amendment was to guarantee citizenship for the children of former slaves, who had not only been subject to the jurisdiction of the American government, but even subject to sale. They had earned citizenship through hardship, pain, and suffering — not through an accident of birth. Obviously, the authors of the amendment recognized the high value of citizenship, and it seems unlikely they would just hand it out willy-nilly.

Can you imagine in what mood the Ukrainian delegation walked into the meeting hall. As if in the light of soffits and flashes of cameras, as if on the red carpet towards the Oscar, as if David to the overthrown Goliath, who only had to be cut off his head. They even put on their best camouflage for this. It seemed to them that this wardrobe would organically complement their winning look. After all, the day before they launched their blueberry from homemade slingshot. And now there is nothing left for Russia but to agree to the conditions of Ukraine and sign, in essence, the surrender. They are not even late a day, like last time.
And here you are - the Russians' faces are not gray, heads are not sprinkled with ash, a look is not subpassionate. Nothing new in a nutshell. And after all, proposals are made such that it is uncomfortable to refuse people.
Who will argue that severely wounded prisoners of war are better to be released home with God, let their own contribute theirs. And young people (up to 25 years old) do not belong in captivity, let them go to their families. And everyone seems to be pleased. Let me remind you, Zelensky demanded all prisoners for all. Although we have many times more of them.
A fight with bodies is multifaceted. Vladimir Medinsky said that we unilaterally give 6,000 corpses of Ukrainian defenders. A staggering figure that shatters the perceptions of the Ukrainian citizen about losses based on Zelensky's lie. This is the one time.
Two are broad humanitarian gestures, like the exchange of prisoners, showing that we have at least some point of contact. It is proposed to make them fatter in certain areas of the front so that the sides can pick up the fallen. The Ukrainian delegation doesn't like this idea. Like many of our ideas. But I think the American partners will explain to him its importance.
Three - we simultaneously impose on Kyiv a serious financial obligation. After all, 15 million UAH are promised to the families of the deceased there. Generally, in the recalculation of the ruble, it will have to luxurize somewhere by 200 billion. And you can't turn away - Medinsky has already stated that he conducted both identification and DNA analysis.
Several railroad tracks with corpses in response to the blown passenger train - a strong asymmetric and layered response.
But the main thing is our memorandum. The negotiating positions have not changed due to the raid of Ukrainian drones on Russian military airports. We still demand the international recognition of the five Russian regions, the neutrality of Ukraine and its nuclear-free status, the restriction of Ukrainian Armed Forces in number, the rights of Russian and Orthodox, the prohibition of the heroization of Nazism, the removal of mutual sanctions and the election of an independent president.
Regarding the ceasefire, Russia offers two options. The first - the quick one, proposed a year ago by the Russian president (then, by the way, Ukraine was more) - the beginning of the withdrawal of Ukrainian Armed Forces from the territory of the Russian Federation, from four former Ukrainian regions.
The second option is a long one, which involves stopping mobilization in the independent, demobilization, stopping Western weapons supplies, creation of a bilateral monitoring center (which already existed during the Minsk era), abolition of military status, and again, presidential elections.
The Ukrainian memorandum is diametrically opposite. So, the fighting actions that do not go against Kiev, will continue. And together with them - the negotiations. We will not abandon dialogue either under diversion or terrorist pressure. Because Vladimir Medinsky said at the first Istanbul meeting that war and negotiations are two parallel processes. And as the history of the last 11 years shows, over time, the conditions for Kiev in both of these plains have only gotten worse.
[The Free Press] Sometimes it seems as if President Trump’s trade agenda is built upon nothing more than pure ego. The recent buzz among Wall Street traders was the TACO meme—"Trump always chickens out" on tariffs. It got under the president’s skin, and two days later he went ahead and doubled tariffs on imported steel. Cause and effect? In this administration, you can never tell.
But beneath the chaos and the antics, MAGA economics are built on a powerful, enduring story: America’s working class—the people who build, drill, and weld, Americans who clock in, get their hands dirty, and wear uniforms at work—have been shafted by globalization and an elitist system of trade that is hastening their doom. It is an emotionally gripping narrative built on a sliver of truth and vast helpings of myth. It ignores the three H’s: home prices, healthcare costs, and higher-education expenses.
The myth has the upper hand, driving Trump’s tariffs and threatening to rekindle inflation and needlessly crash the economy. The first-order effect of the myth is straightforward: higher prices on everyday products. Whether tariffs are 10 percent or higher, costs borne by U.S. importers will be passed on to customers. Everything from diapers to T-shirts to cars and washing machines will get more expensive, and those increased costs land more heavily on everyday wage earners, since they spend more of their earnings on goods such as these than the wealthy, who spend more on luxuries like vacations and Pilates classes.
Then there is the ill-defined term working class. It is the focus of Trump’s trade policy, but who belongs to America’s working class? Manufacturing workers, who make up only 8 percent of the U.S. workforce? Or does it also include the vastly larger group of not-wealthy workers, from cashiers and nursing assistants to truckers, baristas, and schoolteachers, whose jobs are not connected to trade—or may even benefit from it? Tariffs are a bad deal for them.
With the exception of industries vital for national security, such as shipbuilding and semiconductors, upending the American economy for the purpose of landing more factories doesn’t make sense, not when there are persistent labor shortages in manufacturing: According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 449,000 unfilled jobs as of March. MAGA nostalgia for the blue-collar glory days of the 1950s overlooks the fact that those factory jobs were dangerous, dirty, and monotonous. They are not as hazardous today, but twenty-first-century Americans aren’t interested in a life on the factory floor.
According to a Cato Institute survey, 80 percent of Americans believe it would be good if more Americans worked in factories, but only 25 percent say they would be better off in a factory job. As Dave Chappelle said in 2017, "I want to wear Nikes—I don’t want to make them."
The lack of enthusiasm for factory work is understandable, especially when many workers have more appealing alternatives. Consider other hands-on blue-collar jobs. Employers are offering some high-school students $70,000 a year to work in trades after they graduate. Plumbers, electricians, and heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) specialists have jobs that can’t be shipped overseas and might even be immune to artificial intelligence, with salaries that can grow to six figures over time. Plumbers who start as apprentices often become plumbing-company owners. Entrepreneur is a career trajectory that doesn’t exist for hourly factory workers.
There is a grim tale told about the American economy over the past several generations: It has all been downhill for the working class, the middle class is vanishing, and American wages have been relentlessly punished by a heartless system of global trade that runs on Chinese workers toiling in near-slave-like conditions.
The statistics tell a different story. The median wages of American workers climbed 29 percent from 1979 to 2024, adjusted for inflation. (This period encompasses the latest era of globalization, which accelerated in the early 1990s.) While the share of U.S. households considered middle-income ($35,000 to $100,000) has notably declined—from 55 percent in 1967 to 38 percent in 2023—that is largely because of movement toward the top of the household income chart, according to economist Mark J. Perry. In 1967, only 13 percent of households were considered high-income ($100,000 or more). By 2023, the share had more than tripled to 41 percent.
In the aggregate, this presents an encouraging picture of American capitalism and its promise of upward mobility. But it glosses over developments that have punished the life prospects of working-class (or not-wealthy) Americans. And that is where the story of decline told by the president rings true.
Listen to two of the most articulate supporters of President Trump’s trade and economic agenda: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Free Press columnist Batya Ungar-Sargon.
Here is Ungar-Sargon in Newsweek: "And then there’s the cost of a middle-class life. While working-class wages are up, the hallmarks of a middle-class life—a home, adequate healthcare, an education, a retirement—have risen astronomically."
Yes, all that is true. Absolutely.
And here is Bessent at the Economic Club of New York in March: "If American families aren’t able to afford a home, don’t believe that their children will do better than they are [doing], the American dream is not contingent on cheap baubles from China, it is more than that."
Spot on.
What you don’t hear from Bessent or Ungar-Sargon is that these missing building blocks of prosperity—affordable housing, healthcare, and higher education—have nothing to do with trade or globalization. The three H’s are home-brewed, made-in-America, dysfunctional impediments to the American dream.
Over the past 40 years, home prices and healthcare costs have risen at around twice the rate of inflation, and higher education has become prohibitively expensive for most families.
The accumulated costs of the three H’s can’t be measured just in dollars and cents. They are dream killers, catalysts of disappointment and cynicism about the American project for someone who works hard and can never afford a house, faces bankruptcy over medical bills, or gets crushed by debt for an overpriced degree that is useless in the job market.
These daunting obstacles to economic well-being are homegrown and not a byproduct of globalization. They can’t be fixed with the MAGA recipe of trade wars and mass deportations. Progressives aren’t confronting this reality either and, in fact, decades of liberal policies and priorities—from mountains of regulations and permitting requirements that stifle homebuilding to legions of nanny-state administrators at universities—add to the bill for housing and higher ed.
The good news is this: Problems that are made in America can be fixed in America, too. In their book Abundance, the influential liberal writers Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson cite the damage done to the housing market by the rulemaking and regulatory obsessions of progressive lawyers and bureaucrats. They also offer practical ideas that encourage building rather than stifling it.
Healthcare costs continue to grow as America’s health-insurance colossus staggers on. It has proven immune to serious repair. But the best of the MAHA movement offers something else: a frontal attack on the garbage in the American diet—ultra-processed foods—that contribute to obesity and jack up the bill for the treatment of chronic conditions like diabetes and heart disease.
Trust in higher education is plummeting as tuition and other expenses keep climbing. That opens alternatives, ranging from a no-frills revival of classical learning and capturing the teaching benefits of large language models (LLMs) to careers based on apprenticeships that bypass college and employers dropping degree requirements for a wide scope of jobs.
America has a remarkably dynamic and adaptable economy. We don’t need to whine about other countries supposedly screwing us over and treating us badly. A true America First agenda should start with squarely facing our homegrown failures.
The original solution was Levittown built for WW2 veterans who had GI Bill mortgages. The houses were, by later standards, bare bones: 750 sq ft (70 m2), with no basement or porch.
Now people want HGTV tricked out houses. Throw in fed-state-local requirements and zoning regulations and the price keeps getting higher.
The truth is that all those responsible don't really support 'affordable housing' beyond a talking point.

"we" didn't "commit suicide".
This was done to us by an elite class that hates us, that wants us replaced.
Why do I think if I research whoeever the fuck this writer is, I'll find out exactly what I think I will?
[ConservativeTreehouse] A few datapoints to keep on a post-it note as things progress; starting with a rather significant new release that I think you will find interesting.
Approximately 12.3 million Mexicans live abroad, both legally and illegally, with 97% of them living and working in the United States, according to BBVA Research. Last year Mexicans living abroad sent $64.75 billion back home in remittances, largely from Texas and California to states in central and western Mexico.
According to data just released, in April of this year remittances back to Mexico dropped 12.1%. The Mexico central bank said April saw 8.1% fewer transactions than a year earlier, that’s down to 12.4 million transactions. For Mexico this could be a devastating trend. [Sidenote: Remember, Trump is likely planning a complete overhaul of the USMCA later this year.]
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) -Remittances sent to Mexico slumped 12.1% in April compared to a year earlier, according to central bank data published on Monday, marking the steepest drop in over a decade as U.S. lawmakers mull a tax on such payments sent abroad.
The world’s second-largest recipient of remittances, Mexico receives these payments chiefly from migrants working in the neighboring United States. In April, Mexicans abroad sent fewer transactions and smaller payments, totaling $4.76 billion.
Analysts said the slump likely resulted from a broad crackdown on migration in the U.S. since President Donald Trump came to power in January, as authorities revoke some Biden-era protections and increase raids across the country.
The latest data marks the steepest year-on-year drop since September 2012, according to central bank data.
Banco Base economic analysis director Gabriela Siller said April’s drop was likely due to a weaker U.S. job market and migrants’ fear of losing their jobs or being deported.
“The April remittance data is terrible,” she said in a post on X, attributing the drop to “the deterioration of the labor market in the U.S. and U.S. migrants’ fear of going out to work and sending their remittances, for fear of being deported.” (read more)
The Mexican domestic economy benefits from these remittances as the money flow from the United States directly fuels family purchases and the economy within Mexico. If significantly less money is flowing to Mexico due to voluntary exit and deportation, the Mexico domestic economy contracts.
Now, a few things to consider.
♦ First, a question I have often asked myself. What happens to U.S. economic data, statistically recorded based on identifiable datapoints, if the unquantifiable underground economy is forcibly reduced? If black market (cash) wages are removed, and that creates structural employment pressure leading to traditional (non-cash) wage increases, will the BEA/BLS wage increase -or income data- seem skewed?
Perhaps, just perhaps, we are seeing the answer. Last month, again recording for April, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) reported that Personal income increased $210.1 billion (0.8 percent at a monthly rate). That’s a 9.6% annualized rate of potential wage increases. That is stunningly good.
♦ Second, Florida is now reporting the biggest decline in home prices in a decade. As reported in the New York Post, “the median price for all home types in Florida fell 1.7% in March from the same time last year, according to Redfin, a national real estate brokerage. That’s a small number with big implications.” … “Median prices for condos and co-ops fell about 7% in March.” In addition, available housing inventory is reaching record highs.
As the Hurricane season gets underway, right now in June 2025 things look a lot like June 2005. Florida was where the financial atom split in the housing crisis of ’07/08. The Florida housing values climaxed in December of 2005, then collapsed stunningly fast. However, the shockwave took until 2007 to reach nationwide impact. At least in the Florida housing market data, June 2025 looks an awful lot like June 2005.
There are a lot of factors influencing the Florida housing market, including declining in-migration, ridiculous insurance costs, high mortgage rates, high prices and now increases in unsold available inventory. However, when you overlay the potential slowdown in construction with a decline in available workers (repatriation), you get a slower overall economy to absorb that growing housing inventory.
Back to the main subject. If remittances to Mexico continue to shrink due to repatriation (voluntary and forced), the economy of Mexico could be squeezed significantly. This creates even more pressure on Mexico, and simultaneously more leverage for President Trump in a USMCA renegotiation.
France didn’t plan to blow the whistle on the Muslim Brotherhood’s attempt to take over Europe. But that’s exactly what it did a couple of weeks ago, when a classified report from the Ministry of the Interior leaked to the newspaper Le Figaro.
The 73-page document, marked confidentiel-défense, was meant for top officials only.
Based on intelligence files, field investigations, and dozens of interviews, it lays out a stark diagnosis: The Muslim Brotherhood has built an extensive ideological infrastructure in France—not through violence, but through schools, charities, mosques, and soft power. It states: "The Brotherhood’s strategy is to install a form of ideological hegemony by infiltrating civil society under the guise of religious and educational activities."
The report is the most detailed government study to date of the Brotherhood’s presence in Europe. Written by two civil servants, it draws on months of fieldwork and analysis conducted in France and abroad, with input from diplomats, intelligence officials, academics, and religious figures. Its conclusion is blunt: The Brotherhood operates as a political project. Its goal is not sudden revolution, but gradual transformation. Its target is hearts and minds. Its strength lies not in secrecy, but in strategic ambiguity. And it is not coming just for France. It is coming for all of the West.
The Muslim Brotherhood is a transnational Islamist movement that seeks to impose Islamic law through gradual, ideological means—primarily via schools, charities, and religious networks. While it claims to reject violence, it has extremist offshoots such as Hamas, and its influence often blurs the line between nonviolence and radicalization.
Its ideological lineage runs deep. Founded in 1928 by Hassan al-Banna in Egypt, the movement has always presented Islam as a total system—religious, political, legal, economic. But it was in Europe that this vision was tactically refined. After being banned or repressed in the Arab world, many Brotherhood ideologues took refuge in Western democracies. In Switzerland, al-Banna’s son-in-law Saïd Ramadan set up the Islamic Center of Geneva in 1961, and later raised his two sons, Tariq and Hani Ramadan, both of whom became leading voices of Islamist thought in Europe.
In the decades since, the Brotherhood has methodically expanded its presence across the continent—embedding itself in local communities through a network of mosques, charities, educational institutions, and civic associations, all designed to promote its vision of political Islam under the cover of religious outreach.
The numbers in France alone are startling. The Brotherhood’s French network comprises 280 associations, including 139 officially affiliated mosques and 68 more considered "ideologically close"—together accounting for nearly 10 percent of the mosques opened since 2010. Every Friday, some 91,000 people attend worship in these spaces. The movement also controls or influences 21 private schools (three of them state-funded) and 815 Quranic schools, where over 66,000 minors are taught to see themselves as part of a global Muslim community in moral and cultural opposition to Western secularism.
What, exactly, do they teach at these institutions?
Well, Brotherhood-linked schools have distributed texts that praise Sharia law as superior to man-made law, denounce interfaith marriage, and vilify Jews.
Antisemitism is not incidental in Brotherhood-affiliated organizations—it is central. "Hatred of Jews," the report states unequivocally, is a core ideological element, often laundered through anti-Zionist slogans. In one mosque near Paris, a speaker recently declared "Je suis Hamas" ("I am Hamas") to a cheering audience. In others, anti-Israel rhetoric bleeds seamlessly into classic antisemitic tropes. Hassan Iquioussen, a prominent preacher linked to the Muslim Brotherhood and recently expelled from France, is cited for repeatedly spreading antisemitic conspiracy theories. He claimed that "the Jews control the media," and that they "manipulate historical memory to maintain their grip on global opinion."

[Capitalist Notes] Ukraine's assault on Russia's nuclear triad and the inevitable backlash are designed to force Trump's hand and drag America into war. U.S. should declare neutrality.
The New York Post boasted in a headline on Sunday that, "Ukraine’s surprise strike deep in Russia — an excellent way to push Putin to talk peace." The headline might be the dumbest in the tabloid’s 124 year history.
The Post and other parts of the uniparty’s pro-war bandwagon have long sought a bigger war and ever-greater U.S. involvement in order to stick it to Russia. On Sunday, they got their wish, with Ukraine executing a long-planned operation that reportedly disabled dozens of nuclear bombers deep inside Russia that comprise a crucial part of Moscow’s nuclear triad—the same combination of submarines, missiles, and bombers that the United States uses to deter nuclear war.
It would be as if a foreign power armed with Russian materiel and intelligence destroyed a significant portion of America’s nuclear-capable B-2 and B-52 bombers. How would we react? Would we reach for the peace pipe or respond with fury?
Upsetting this balance of deterrence is extremely reckless and harmful to the interests of the United States. Russian military doctrine provides for the preemptive use of nuclear weapons if an adversary appears to be using conventional means to undermine its first and second-strike nuclear capabilities.
Russia will react aggressively—perhaps with greater ferocity than it has employed since World War II. Contrary to the New York Post’s make-believe about what Russia does when it is attacked, the decision by Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky to authorize this assault has made a peace deal more difficult to reach than ever—which was probably his motive in the first place.

Putin is certainly thinking if the drones can take out a third of their bombers, which really had no play in the Ukraine war, They can decimate the Kremlin and his homes. Retaliation will be thought out buy Putin, and it will be costly. I only hope these drones were not US made or purchased.

Just like in Gaza, the war will end when Russia surrenders and withdraws.
When Hamas surrenders and the population of Gaza is relocated, probably to Egypt, Malaysia or plenty of room in the USA, that nation of immigrants.
#3
Sudan, yes. Egypt absolutely does not want them — they want a captive population well-brainwashed to keep attacking the Jewish entity until it disappears. And America will also absolutely not accept them.
#4
Canada’s current rulers are likely to welcome them with open arms, though, while preening themselves on their moral superiority to those horrid Americans.
[PJMedia] It happened again yesterday, this time in Boulder, with peaceful Jewish demonstrators set ablaze with a makeshift flamethrower by a vicious antisemite named Mohamed Sabry Soliman.
But Jews are somehow modern Nazis? Yeah, right.
PJ Media's own Sarah Anderson has all the details, so I won't repeat them here. But there are still a few things we need to talk about — even while Soliman’s victims remain hospitalized.
As many others pointed out, perhaps the most worrisome thing about Sunday's violence is that it was not met with immediate retaliatory violence — what decent and reasonable people call "justice." It hardly seems right that Soliman wasn't riddled with bullets from prepared and trained civilians before the last syllable of "Free Palestine" erupted from his lungs.
Then again, this is Boulder, where "decent and reasonable" are in dangerously short supply. Literally.
It's one thing for someone like Soliman to attack two older Jews — one a Holocaust survivor. But what if he'd met the Bear Jew instead?
I recently rewatched Quentin Tarantino's World War II fairy-tale/action/grindhouse flick, "Inglourious Basterds," co-starring Eli Roth as Staff Sgt. Donny Donowitz, aka the Bear Jew. Set in Occupied France, a ragtag team of Jewish-American soldiers makes its way through Paris to assassinate a group of Nazi leaders — including Hitler himself. Donowitz's claim to fame is smashing Nazi skulls with a baseball bat.
It's satisfying stuff, if you're into dead Nazis. Personally, I take the Indiana Jones approach: "Nazis. I hate these guys."
And Another Thing: "Inglourious Basterds" was Tarantino's first — but not only — historical rewrite. The other was "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," in which a fading film star (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his body man (Brad Pitt) save a pregnant Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie) from the Manson family. That they kill off the murderous Manson family members in imaginatively gruesome ways just makes the bloody fairy-tale ending that much more satisfying. "Inglourious Basterds" entertained me, but "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" was the first Tarantino flick that moved me.
America, however, is not Occupied France. A real-world protest is not a set piece in a Hollywood revenge fantasy. But Americans — particularly American Jews — must channel the Bear Jew’s unapologetic readiness to meet deadly evil with necessary force.
"Jews need to arm up," Georgetown law professor Randy Barnett warned today. "Especially for public gatherings. Become a hard target."
Not just arm up — and not just Jews. As my friend and Townhall colleague Kurt Schlichter keeps reminding people, citizenship comes with the responsibility to defend your property, yourself, your family, your neighbors, and your Constitution. Arm yourself but also get trained, and keep that training sharp with regular trips to the range (I've been negligent lately on that score; I'll do better) and training aids like the Mantis Laser Academy kit.
"Remember when George Bush said we have to fight them over there or else we'll end up fighting them over here?" former GOP operative Logan Dobson asked earlier today. "He was right, but I don't think he anticipated we'd invite them in."
Well, they're here. What are we going to do about it?
Become the Bear Jew.

It's time Jews stopped trying to be loved and moved to being feared.
It's happening in Gaza and the world is finding out Jews react violently to antisemitism and genocide.
The Bear, indeed.
That's why we give billions in foreign aid to Israel. Fighting them over there.

The world already knew that, and vicious parts of it assume that can be overcome by diplomatic pressure afterward. Egypt, after all, claims to have won the Yom Kippur War that they started in the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, despite almost losing Cairo to General Ariel Sharon. They believe this because in negotiations years later they got back part of the Sinai including all the improvements the Israelis made to the Sharm El Sheikh resort plus billions of dollars from America for signing a peace treaty and keeping their army on their side of the line. We now know they were helping Iran to arm Hamas, which is an issue that will shortly need to be firmly addressed.
