UPDATE:

SENATE AMENDMENT TO INCREASE PROPOSED REMITTANCE TAX

Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) announced an amendment to the Republican budget reconciliation bill which would raise the proposed tax on remittances from 3.5% to 15%.

25% across the board on them sounds much better, all funds received given to the Border Patrol and ICE.

Nah. I was aware of all and using all long before the grifters at The Wellness Company got in on the profits.

I initially got a script and had it filled at a Compounding Pharmacy up in MT... I loaded up from a pharmacy in India... lots of brands, "Iverheal" is known to be legit.

The CDS, MB and EDTA I get domestically. CDS from a good guy who makes it and the others from Amazon.

I did hear that the Wellness Co is some sort of a CIA op... who knows? I avoid.

raise the rate to 50%, but allow a 1% deduction for good behavior... no riots, no murders, no crimes, no babies made, no mexican flags waved by anyone, etc. As soon as a bad behavior is reported, add 10% to the rate. But for anyone that becomes a US citizen the rate is lowered to 5%.

A 50% remittance tax would cause a staggering increase in self-deportations, and would cut illegal entry massively, with no lawfare possible. If we *really* wanted to solve the problem, this would be the way.

I’m not saying this to counter your article. I agree with what you said but there is another very important aspect to this that can’t be overlooked. Tom Homan states that ICE raids in LA busted a money laundering operation for the cartels. They were the guys that the rioters initially tried to break loose from ice custody. After that Bass and Newsome lit the fire under everyone else by encouraging the riots. Who do you think they are working for? The cartels. We are at war with the cartels. And the democrats in California are committing treason by taking the side of their biggest donors against America.

Seems like the NSA would have no trouble figuring that out. Makes one think they already know and are allowing it or participating with it.

Even my little town in western NC is “participating.” It’s gone completely blue in the last 15 years. Mayor, city council, police, all the churches, the charities, most of the businesses. Drag queen events, lgbtq flags…the works. Yet the surrounding county, where I live, is very red.

In Silicon Valley yesterday, Sunday, June 8, many local elected officials announced that on June 14 the City of Palo Alto had permitted march to a "democracy fair" in a town which let a George Floyd Summer 2020 March wander all over town on busy roads without a permit and blocking traffic in some fo the city's busiest streets. https://www.paloaltoonline.com/news/2025/06/08/the-fear-is-palpable-community-leaders-slam-national-guard-deployment

Yep, I was there in 2020 and watched them march by a few times. And in 2016 with the local HS protected by police as they did the FDT march through Menlo Park and Palo Alto. I miss some things about CA. But not that. At least a few more conservative voices are speaking up these days.

Expand full comment
A.J.'s avatar

In November 2024 election this part of Silly Valley voted about 5-7% less for the Big D party. If that trend continues, the Ds will lose their Sacramento supermajority in 2026.

I got stuck in my car in one of those Floyd Summer 2020 marches as they walked on Oregon Expressway and then State Route El Camino Real.

I'm old enough to remember the anti-Vietnam War protestors smashing shop windows in Palo Alto's downtown University Avenue and burning trash cans and cars in nearby Mountain View as police and sheriffs in both towns stood by making no arrests. Just letting "youth burn off steam." It took 10+ years for those old downtown shopping areas to recover because so many merchants and customers by the early 1970s fled in fear to new private shopping malls where private security will quickly get rid of any vandals, trespassers and panhandlers.

Now we have the endless petty debates here over the remnants of lost downtown parking spaces to make room for plandemic closed commercial district streets for more outdoor dining spaces as well as astroturf "parklets." All at the same time Sacramento by 2022 grabbed downtown zoning powers from local town halls to force ever more dense housing with below minimum parking spaces 'cause our political leaders believe all us plebes want to live car-less in 15 minute cities. Monty Pythonesque.

A friend sent me this. Do you know if it’s true or not?

Reuters is reporting Elon is staying on as an advisor to Trump. I thought this was interesting take on their spat: "SPOILER ALERT: GAME OVER:

Soon 14 cities will burn from riots and protests… The globalists made their fatal move.. Trump now has the authority to call in the military to conduct full scale mass deportations and mass arrests.

WHY?

The Elon vs Trump drama caused the elites to make a premature and tragic move.

GENIUS TRUMP MOVE:

The military vehicles and equipment that were supposed to be shipped out for the Washington Army parade will now be used for the cities under attack.

This was done as cover to not alarm citizens.

Some will still be used for the parade, but many of the vehicles and artillery will be rerouted to cities burning from unruly protests in need..

CHECKMATE.

Trump is a wartime president and knew this move had to be played."

Thanks Juju, great thread! For those not following the link, here's one key thing to look for today. They have figured out that the optics of waving foreign flags is not working for them, so they're being instructed to wave American flags and dress in red, white, and blue. Supposedly because soldiers/police are reluctant to take action against people waving American flags. Also, they are going to start bringing leaf blowers to blow the tear gas back toward the soldiers/officers. The group chats that the person who posted the thread has infiltrated are unambiguous conspiracies and everyone involved should be RICOed.

Reasonable Horses's avatar

Exactly right, Gen. Decades or more back, Cali voters strongly endorsed DOMA. But their overlords overruled them. I was back home in Texas at the time listening to the Cali crickets. I didn't hear so much as an "Oh well. We tried." I'm sure there was some of that, but it was obviously not enough.

Now they're paying arsonists to create firefighter overtime in the name of social justice. Watching cars burn is fun. Putting out fires is volatile. I'm hearing a very judgmental Isaiah. “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter” (Isaiah 5:20).

Sure, when all is said and done, the Lord will deliver vengeance and restore eternal justice, but here’s the kicker: ”The Lord’s anger burns against His people. His hand is raised and He strikes them down. The mountains shake, and the dead bodies are like refuse in the streets” (Isaiah 5:25). His anger burns against HIS PEOPLE? What did WE do?! Obviously not enough.

Far too many of us stood on the sidelines, watched our country go to hell, pointed fingers at Antifa and Gavin Newsome, and said, “God is gonna getcha!” He will, but until final judgment, we and my Christian friends in the LA Basin and major blue cities are caught in the backwash, and now we're in the direct line of fire. So, I'm asking myself, what are WE going to do about the evil burning at our feet? Maybe we are too much at peace and resting in the Lord. Maybe we should be on our knees praying for instructions on where and how to take a stand.

The Cartel is importing Illegal firearms into CA to arm their Illegal “Soldiers” they have imported. Your CA/LA Polezi OBEY the Elected democRat Traitors that Created the Illegal Invasion.

What to Do??? Evacuate or Fight. If you continue to Obey the democRat Gov apparachiks, say on gun control, You will be vanquished.

Evacuation is similar to Retreat, it’s not dishonorable, it’s a Recognition of Reality. For example, I left Urban FL for Rural GA because it’s more secure imo. and I know No One is Coming to Save my bacon, but Me & Mine. (Kith & Kin)

God’s prophets have been speaking into this very loudly and specifically since at least 2021 (He guided me to them in 2023).

His Army of Light (I’m at most a very lowly private haha) is instructed to pray, decree and declare…we are in a spiritual battle for our country, and the world.

We are witnessing a greater Exodus! Hallelujah!! Remember as the plagues came over Egypt? But God’s people in Goshen were untouched? Get into His Word every day-for guidance and discernment.

I recommend Diana Larkin, Patti Teichroew, Julie Green, Johnny Enlow, Donna Rigney, Barry Wunsch, Pastor Dave Scarlett (His Glory), Dave and Stacy Whited (Flyover Conservatives), ElijahStreams’ Steve Schultz, and I’m sure there are many more.

Absolutely. It's outrageous to watch LA and San Fran tails wagging the dog. Those cities and many others in Texas, like Austin, San Antonio (which just elected a new commie mayor), Houston, and DFW, seem to need some serious election oversight. Unfortunately for Texas, a very good State AG can’t investigate without local permission.

I have friends who live in San Antonio and are tired of the Commiefornians moving into their state. I don’t blame them. I’m a native Californian and don’t like the commies that have moved into our state from other states.

I don’t know if this new commie mayor was outright commie or lying, as most of them do to get elected. I know that’s what has happened in our city. They lie and lie, gaslight, and lie some more. The uninformed voters vote for them despite all of the education we do. Once elected, their true colors come out. People get angry, but nothing happens. They don’t go protest unless it’s for that stupid protest they did last month against the deportations. I wanted to know where they were when these yahoos on city council sell our city down the River Tick.

Also, a few weeks ago, we had our first “transwoman” in the women’s locker room at our local pool. We have communal showers where everyone is in one big shower. An 80-year-old woman was terrified when she noticed a fully intact man showering with her. If she complains to staff, she will be kicked out of the pool for bullying.

Best line in a Substack full of them:

“And because insanity is a growth industry, California increased CHIRLA’s budget by $12 million this year — a 50% raise for lighting things on fire.”

That one sentence encapsulates everything: performative outrage, incentivized dysfunction, and taxpayer-funded chaos. It brings to mind the 2020 “Summer of Love” redux: BLM banners appearing out of nowhere, pallets of bricks showing up in major metro areas, and a media chorus insisting it was all “mostly peaceful.”

None of it ever felt organic.

I’ve long suspected that what we’re seeing is a very long game, something that began back with perestroika and has been evolving quietly across administrations. “Build Back Better” has the same rhythm for a reason. Starting with Clinton, each administration has added a brick to the architecture. Trump, in this schema, wasn’t the anomaly, he was the catalyst. A tool to galvanize the left into overreaction.

But instead of policy debates, the reaction came in the form of burning buildings, collapsing norms, and a media class applauding it all as the “voice of the unheard.”

Im no whizbang with math, but im pretty sure adding 10% to our current population could have a dramatic effect with congressional district weighting, ergo the electoral college.

Its so obvious. I wish I could post this meme i have that shows that nearly 90% of Bidens illegals were shipped to 8-10 congressional precincts, in 5-6 states, that always determine who the electoral winner is.

I think you are right and that's a good thing. EVERYTHING the Demoncrats believe in is a blatant, evil fantasy that denies reality and all moral sensibility.

I have long maintained that the 2016 election proved the existence of a "Trump wave"... simply put, a wave of Americans who have had enough of the Democrats and the Obama Regime to get off the couch and vote. The Democrat Party and the polls ALL predicted an overwhelming election of Hellary Clinton. The Demoncrats were convinced by their own propaganda and their own polls which never reflect reality, only the propaganda they support. Hellary was already popping the champagne corks before the count was even over. The Demoncrats were caught with their pants down.

Many still doubt the existence of the Trump wave and point to the "polls" and the 2020 election. In reality, Trump decisively won the 2020 election! The election was literally stolen through massive voter fraud, all of which we have since seen documented on the web. Then we got 4 years of in your face woke Marxism in the Biden Regime. The Demoncrats STILL thought they could win again. Instead, after 4 years of living in political woke hell, the American people crested a massive Trump wave that swamped the election in a manner never seen in our history, not even for FDR!

Now the Democrat Party has lost ALL legitimacy with the American voter and is in the process of exiting stage left - forever. As they leave the stage, they will spew hatred and violence against the American people with all the money they have left. Expect the next 2 year to be very rough. Be wary and guard your own.

Not racism. These people knew that if they sent $10,001.00 overseas in one transaction they would have a CTR written up. So, they would send just under that amount several times a week. They owned a gas station and sometimes the husband would come in and sometimes the wife, AND sometimes both in the same day. There was clear cause to write up the CTR's. They said it was money for his old father who lived back in their country, and was very poor. Sometimes one and one doesn't equal two.

I ask because I’ve seen a lot of similar ads on the same platforms for various products and they all sure sound fantastic and legit, but when I finally purchased one, (some security cameras for our entryways,) we found they are next to children’s toys, not even THAT good. They are literally worthless to use, no support for usage, and wasted $125 we don’t have to lose. So I saw these BYRNA ads but won’t buy until I hear from someone who bought one and can give firsthand experience. The ads cannot be trusted.

Byrna products are not toys. I paid about $300 each for 2 of them. One in each car. They shoot aluminum balls through 2 layers of corrugated cardboard at a distance of 6 feet. I saw a video of someone who voluntarily got shot from about 10 ft. with a plastic ball. It left a 1" red welt at the impact. You could tell it was painfull. Distance and weight of the ball are critical. Plastic ones are too light to do much damage or go very far.

There are numerous YouTube videos on how to construct simple single-shot weapons from parts available in any hardware store for well under $50. Better than nothing, and even one shot of #4 from a 12 ga open choked barrel (3\4" pipe in the hardware store version) can clear a number of vermin from in front of your door...with practice, reloading can take about 5 seconds.

Our son graduates his masters in Chicago on June 14. I texted him that I was uncomfortable with the environment and not sure where to go to lunch afterwards. Here’s some of his replies to me (I have NO clue if he’s right or not - just sharing and hoping others chime in to calm my nerves.)

“As long as we avoid the loop it should be fine. It’s all supposed to be in Daley Plaza.

The protesters in LA is also a separate issue, kinda. The thing with the 14th was to stand against the Flag Day parade for the 250th anniversary of the military. Trump’s birthday just happens to fall on the date so people are freaking out.

Riots also don’t happen in Chicago like they do other places. They always get put down fast. The liberals here are too weak and CPD is actually filled with competent officers who aren’t paid off, and theres not bullshit laws preventing them from doing their jobs.”

“LAs been a powder keg for years so it’s not surprising it happened there. Chicago is NOT the same kind of sanctuary city in the same way LA is. “

“The nation wide thing is the whole NoKings thing yeah. Which is at Daley plaza for Chicago. Trust me im aware of all this.

If it’s anything like the last few Nationwide planned protests. There’s one every month, this isn’t anything new either, the LA situation just put more eyes on it. It will be over in a few hours. Chicago liberals are weak and lazy lol. “. 🤣 Are they? Lol

The same way a single bullet buried in the next person who tried to illegally cross the border.

The invasion of 20+ illegals could've been avoided merely with one bullet.

Now that's what I call cost savings....

We need a DMZ zone, like the one between the two Koreas. With mines.

especially when they break our laws, have complete disregard for our country, bring in drugs to poison our citizens and have been warned too numerous times to count to stay out and enter only legally.

"Anything else" includes concrete blocks, conveniently placed on several LA street corners under cover of darkness.

Law enforcement should spray an invisible coating of a fluorescing dye and anybody picking one up will show up on UV light scans.

I watched a guy in a hoodie early on when they were starting to block the roads walk to the meridian, reach over and pull a large stack of orange road cones out and put them over his shoulder then walk towards where people were lining up to block the road. This is all completely premeditated. I am worried sick about what they will do next to ratchet this WAYYYYY up. And this IS a Globalist attack. Not even a riot. An out and out attack.

More like pallets of concrete blocks. Just like with the “I can’t breathe” Patron Saint Druggie riots.

How corrupt has our government become when it uses tax dollars of hard working Americans to support illegal, unconstitutional immigration into the US & opposes remittance taxes on dollars leaving the US? I don’t see Congress fighting to eliminate payroll taxes of US citizens! We need a government of the founding fathers. A government “of the people, for the people”. Send career politicians home. Save the republic! Thank God for #POTUS #Trump. May the Lord grant Trump’s admin with guidance, courage, strength & wisdom to do the right things to #MAGA

I wonder how very properous the country and the individuals who comprise it might be if not for all the massive theft...the extent of it is astounding.

Jeff, I had no clue about the remittance tax. How do you know everything and then have time to put it in a tidy write-up for us every day? Thank you! I could get away with just reading C&C every day and still be ahead of the average amigo.

Several thoughts: the remittance percent of Mexican GDP is not the fraction to pay attention to. Rather, think about what fraction of Mexican elite and cartel income it represents. Since the latter are a much smaller number than GDP, the 5% remittance is a much larger hit to them! Take the extreme: if the elites are skimming 5% of the remittances coming back, Trump's new tax takes it all!

Second thought: it matters how much of the US public has even part of the view of the riots expressed here. I suspect that it's the usual political split with 40% being fairly aware of the narrative presented here, 40% ignoring it because "OPPRESSION", and 20% swing. And in this case "swing" also means unaware. No corporate media reporting/talking.

So, I'm not hopeful this will come out well. Trump et al will put down these protests but I hope the FBI also researches every single person arrested. Find the connections between them if any. Trace their sources of income. If a lot of them are connected, eg, through certain NGOs, then put those NGO leaders in prison for life!

p.s., how do we know there's $155B in remittances? Wire transfer records and reporting requirements I guess. So, how much more is actually being sent by other methods!? With the new tax, those payments can now be prosecuted as tax evasion...and whatever other laws are being broken. Win. Win. Win.

They shouldn't be allowed to send anything home at all. Barring that, I say take more than 5%. And if any Senator meets with a Mexican representative, they should be investigated and charged with treason.

Yes, and there are many ways on helping them be encouraged.

Agree. 5% is less than our sales tax in Michigan. They can AT LEAST pay that.
