Trump orders Department of Commerce to conduct a 'new and highly accurate' census count that excludes illegal migrants

President Donald Trump revealed on Thursday that he has ordered his administration to create a new census, in which illegal migrants will not be counted.

The president — who has made immigration enforcement a top policy priority — ordered the Commerce Department to begin efforts on a new census based on figures that exclude the illegal migrant population and information gleaned from the 2024 presidential election. While estimates vary, some experts believe more than 18 million illegal migrants currently live in the U.S.

"I have instructed our Department of Commerce to immediately begin work on a new and highly accurate CENSUS based on modern day facts and figures and, importantly, using the results and information gained from the Presidential Election of 2024," Trump posted Thursday morning on his Truth Social account.

Comment: The New York Post adds:
Trump's order for a mid-decade census is likely to face legal challenges from Democrats. In the past, attempts at inter-decennial headcounts were authorized by Congress, not by presidents unilaterally.

During his first administration, Trump attempted to add a citizenship question to the census, but the Commerce Department scrapped the idea after legal setbacks.

The last census, conducted in 2020, undercounted the population significantly in many red states like Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas, while overcounting in many blue states like Delaware, Massachusetts, New York and Rhode Island.

Colorado, Florida, Montana, North Carolina, Oregon and Texas gained House seats following the 2020 census, while California, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia lost seats.
Democrats are dumb enough to say the quiet part out loud:

Britain has awakened: Manchester shows citizen protest against Starmer's suicidal policies has gained unstoppable momentum

Citizens' mass protests in the UK express the majority's feelings.

Under the rule of leftist Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer, the invasion of the British islands continues unabated - but now, the pushback from the citizenry has seemingly escalated beyond the point of no return.

This weekend, UK has grinded to a halt while 'asylum hotel' protests demanding 'remigration' take over major cities.

A cursory look shows that at least London, Manchester, Newcastle, Southampton, Rotherham, Tamworth and Middlesbrough saw big demonstrations. British patriots fight back against the fraying of their social fabric due to the mass immigration catastrophe.

President Donald Trump on Monday threatened to federalize Washington, D.C., calling for local minors and gang members over the age of 14 to be prosecuted as adults, after a famed former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) employee was allegedly beaten in the nation's capital.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said local youth and gang members are "randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting innocent citizens, at the same time knowing that they will be almost immediately released."

Along with the post, Trump shared a photo of a bloodied man on the street.

Multiple sources told Fox News Digital the person in the photo shared by the president is Edward Coristine, the teenager known as "Big Balls," who previously worked for DOGE.

Comment: Trump should do it. Muriel Bowser is beyond incompetent as mayor.

Google's 'search and destroy' mission distorts search results for DNI Gabbard's Obama-Russia exposé

When President Donald Trump accused Barack Obama of treason, he didn't panic or call a lawyer, Google cleaned it up for free.

A new Media Research Center study uncovered how Google manipulated its news tab to subvert Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's exposé on how the former president orchestrated the fabrication of intelligence behind the Trump-Russia collusion hoax.

The MRC found that Google actively protected Obama after Gabbard revealed how his White House schemed behind the scenes to override early assessments finding no pro-Trump Russian interference in 2016, instead pushing rushed intel to legitimize the salacious Trump-Russia collusion narrative.

Abbott orders arrest of AWOL Texas House Dems after warrant issued by House Speaker

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott had earlier said state Democrats taking steps to stall Republican redistricting efforts could be liable for 'felonies'

With the 4 p.m. CT deadline having come and gone, Texas Speaker of the House Dustin Burrows announced this afternoon he would sign arrest warrants against any absent Democrat lawmakers if authorized by a vote of the chamber. Shortly thereafter, the House did approve the warrants and Gov. Greg Abbott then swiftly called on the Texas Department of Public Safety to arrest the "delinquent Texas House Democrats."

The Democratic lawmakers ultimately did not return to Texas in time Monday to approve a quorum amid a fight to halt GOP efforts to redraw the state's congressional maps.

Nuking the Redskins' name did nothing to help Native Americans

And nobody's surprised. President Trump said the Commanders would be 'much more valuable' if they restored their old name. He couldn't be more accurate.

Rumor's out that the owners of the Washington Commanders are feeling the heat to reverse the 2020 decision by former owner Daniel Snyder to drop the team's beloved Redskins name.

The reason? President Donald Trump's recent threats regarding the team's $3.7 billion plan to return the team's stadium to the District of Columbia from its decades-long sojourn in Maryland. "I may put a restriction on them that if they don't change the name back to the original 'Washington Redskins,' and get rid of the ridiculous moniker, 'Washington Commanders,'" Trump posted, "I won't make a deal for them to build a Stadium in Washington."

Certainly, this lifelong Redskins fan wouldn't mind Trump fighting on behalf of the fanbase of a storied franchise who still feels betrayed by a decision that had more to do with woke mob outrage in the aftermath of George Floyd's death than with the purported social justice reasons given for why the team needed to alter its name and mascot.

Shh! Chinese solar firms sacked one-third of their workers — 87,000 solar jobs gone

The invisible shrinking solar industry

Quietly, the world manufacturing base for solar panels has been shrinking for nearly two years and yet hardly anyone knows. Especially not the Prime Minister of Australia who set up the the $1 billion Solar Sunshot a year ago to artificially create an Australian solar panel manufacturing industry, twenty years too late, and with the worst possible timing.

China has already captured the solar market and killed it.

Gluts have consequences

The CCP is making twice as many solar panels as the world wants to buy. The latest trend is from bad to worse.

Let's remember this story, the next time the propaganda media try to tell us solar panels are setting new records. Isn't this the sort of thing our investigative sleuths at the ABC-BBC-CBC should have been digging out before elections were held? Doesn't this change everything?

Australia is supposed to be going gangbusters "leading the world" and installing 44,000 panels a day, but no one else in the world is doing that.
China's solar giants quietly shed a third of their workforces last year

Reuters
  • Over 40 solar firms have delisted, gone bankrupt or been sold since 2024
BEIJING, August 1 (Reuters) - China's biggest solar firms shed nearly one-third of their workforces last year, company filings show, as one of the industries hand-picked by Beijing to drive economic growth grapples with falling prices and steep losses.

Layoffs are politically sensitive in China, where Beijing views employment as key to social stability. Other than a 5% cut acknowledged by Longi last year, none of the firms mentioned above have announced any job cuts or responded to questions from Reuters."The industry has been facing a downturn since the end of 2023," said Cheng Wang, an analyst at Morningstar. "In 2024, it actually got worse. In 2025, it looks like it's getting even worse."

US may require visa applicants from problematic countries to post bond of up to $15,000

The State Department is proposing requiring applicants for business and tourist visas to post a bond of up to $15,000 to enter the United States, a move that may make the process unaffordable for many.

In a notice to be published in the Federal Register on Tuesday, the department said it would start a 12-month pilot program under which people from countries deemed to have high overstay rates and deficient internal document security controls could be required to post bonds of $5,000, $10,000 or $15,000 when they apply for a visa.

The proposal comes as the Trump administration is tightening requirements for visa applicants. Last week, the State Department announced that many visa renewal applicants would have to submit to an additional in-person interview, something that was not required in the past. In addition, the department is proposing that applicants for the Visa Diversity Lottery program have valid passports from their country of citizenship.

The EU's 'fantasy' $750B energy promise to Trump

The EU has narrowly avoided a full-blown trade war with Donald Trump by pledging to buy $750 billion of U.S. oil and gas by the end of his term.

But achieving that will be almost impossible.

So far, Brussels has provided scant details on how the purchases would work. Yet limited U.S. supplies, technical obstacles, and the EU's weak powers over import deals mean hitting the goal will be fiendishly difficult, regardless of the specifics.

Real Holes in Neverland

Cereal

Even though it isn't a nut, reality is especially hard to crack these days. But if you closely observe daily life all around you, no matter how superficial it may at first seem, you will catch many glimpses of why this may be so. The signs of falsehood are everywhere here in the land of make-believe, for those willing to decipher them.

The big lies and deceptions of politicians, intelligence services, and their media minions have their counterparts in trivial encounters where, as Melville said, "A smile is the chosen vehicle for all ambiguities." Such smiles plaster not just human faces, but appear in the signs and symbols of the wider culture everywhere you look. They are meant to tranquilize with trivia. They are offered as bait to induce people to stop worrying and be happy as their leaders smash the world to bits.

I recently chanced to look down the cereal aisle of a supermarket where my already florescent-irritated eyes were further dazzled by an entire row of technicolor boxes of the garbage that Americans eat to begin their days. First came the poison laid low down for the kids so they can reach the traps and pester their parents for what would better be served to rats.

These I passed, only to stop at a big orange yellow box that was advertised on sale. I had seen it before, just as often as I had seen pictures of Van Gogh's sunflowers adorning dentists' offices and funeral homes, twin bright colors before which we are beseeched to smile and be happy like Vincent. The cereal was General Mills' Honey Nut Cheerios.

At the center of the box in large letters outlined in bright orange screamed the words "made with REAL HONEY." I quickly grabbed a box since I am always searching for reality, but then it struck me, as I fell off my horse like Paul on the road to Damascus (not today's bombed Damascus), that such an assertion was strange, for the cereal is called Honey Nut Cheerios, which would imply it was made with honey.

So why are they boldly asserting it is?
