Trump announces External Revenue Service
Aligning with the concept of using tariffs to fund government operations, President Trump has announced his intention to create the External Revenue Service. It appears to be a collection and enforcement mechanism to gather income from tariffs, duties and other sources that will pay for access to the U.S. consumer market.
One of the issues the External Revenue Service will likely address is the de minimis loophole.
The de minimis loophole comes from back in the 1930s. The idea back then was, say you went on a vacation to Paris, you shouldn’t have to file customs paperwork or pay taxes if you decided to ship some little Eiffel Tower statues to your friends back home.
Congress in 2015 then raised the de minimis threshold from $200 to $800. However, the e-commerce world exploded, and Chinese companies began using the de minimis loophole to ship cheap goods (ex. Temu and Shein) into the USA direct to consumers without paying any customs duty.
It was reported last year that the U.S. was on track to receive a billion packages through the de minimis loophole that aren’t taxed and don’t have customs slips saying what they are. Making matters worse, illegal items are slipping through the cracks, including, knockoffs, unsafe items and even chemicals used to make fentanyl. The worst abuser that exploits this de minimis loophole is, by far, China.
Blue government USA — waste, undermine, tax like there’s no tomorrow, steal elections
More Maine govt gang abuse. Bellows is actually Secretary of State of Maine. The only people who want rigged elections are cheaters. Mills claimed she was elected to ‘make Maine less white’. She did win her election but it was a questionable victory, if only because of what people like her and Bellows say about elections. Mills did not get that mandate from a majority of real Maine residents, who are now forced to pay for it. And Bellows’ asinine ‘reasoning’ is absurd on the face of it. There is strong credible evidence illegals have been voting in Maine elections, as in many other blue states. And the real reasons they are flown in at taxpayers expense is to replace traditional residents and ‘win’ elections by voting illegally. ABN
UPDATE: $118 million may not sound like much but Maine has a population of only 1.3 million. On a per capita basis, Mills and Bellows are right up there with the worst of the worst. ABN

Hindu tribe to imitate Jewish tribe to parasitize Western civilization
I hate this but it shows white people have to do it now, too. Traditionally, whites had built a fabulous civilization which was creative, peaceful and worked. Our medical science allowed the rest of the world to grow huge. And now we have been infiltrated and their numbers have grown exponentially inside of us. Parasitism based on mind-controlling Western morality while also working every scam you can get away with, including tribal nepotism and omerta codes, cannot be overcome without doing similar ourselves. It’s terrible but non-Western tribes living in the West are forcing us to become like them or become extinct. Hindu and Jewish tribes are both characterized by self-supremacy. And both invert this by feigning victimization while couching their hatred and exploitation of whites as whites being ‘phobic’ toward them. That’s parasitism and it pays very well. ABN
H1B matters because a political and corporate establishment has waged a half-century long campaign to destroy the American middle class — Lee Smith
Don’t be lulled by fake MAGA truce: H1B issue is indeed consequential. When Dems & GOP offshored mfg (NAFTA, WTO), rationale was that Americans would get great “tech service” jobs—but H1B showed they wouldn’t get those jobs either. 1/
And there’s nothing you can do about it, said Dems and GOP alike. You want those jobs back? Where’s your magic wand? And besides, you deserve the pain, clinging to your guns and God — you’re racist, homophobic, etc. you’re deplorables 2/
This is what Trump was elected to fight, but according to Vivek: In fact, the things that have caused you pain are your fault. Your culture prizes mediocrity, your parents raised you poorly. Then Elon: Fight me on a thing that has hurt you, and I will crush you. 3/
Vivek continues to double down: instead of walking back or even just modifying his public rebuke of American families, he characterizes it as one of his “hard truths” — as other MAGA influencers have jumped to his defense: 4/
‘In fact nothing bad happened, it was simply a conversation, and it’s the left who is trying to divide us!’ But to tell people long targeted by an elite demoralization campaign that they shouldn’t believe what they heard with their own ears and blame it on others is predatory. 5/
So, yes H1B matters because it’s an effect of the core issue — indeed the reason DJT is POTUS — a political and corporate establishment that has waged a half-century long campaign to destroy the American middle class. End
