America on the Brink: New Proposals, Old Failures, and a Government in Overdrive
From Trump’s new tariff agency to border tunnels and gang-infested housing—how much more can we take?
Good Morning
America is standing at a crossroads. The government keeps making big promises, but every day we see the same broken results.
Former President Donald Trump is proposing a new federal agency—the External Revenue Service—to take on international trade.Meanwhile, we’re dealing with border tunnels, cartel smuggling, and gang-infested migrant housing in our own communities.
The government claims to be in control, but everything we see says otherwise.
We’re left wondering: Are they making America stronger—or just making themselves richer?
Let’s get into it.
Trump’s Bold Plan for a New ‘External Revenue Service’
Former President Donald Trump is making waves again—this time with a plan to create an entirely new federal agency: the External Revenue Service (ERS). The proposed agency would focus on collecting tariffs and trade revenue from foreign sources, making it a counterpart to the IRS, but for international trade.
The announcement came via Truth Social, with Trump stating that the ERS would launch on January 20, 2025, coinciding with Inauguration Day. The agency’s primary function? To implement and enforce Trump’s proposed tariffs on foreign goods—especially Chinese imports.
Trump’s vision includes a universal 10-20% tariff on most imports and a 60% tariff on Chinese goods. According to the plan, the ERS would consolidate tariff collection under one agency, theoretically boosting revenue from trade.
But here’s the catch: Tariffs don’t just punish foreign countries—they raise prices for Americans, too.
Economic experts are already sounding the alarm, warning that higher tariffs could drive up consumer prices across the board.Everything from electronics to clothing to household goods could see significant price hikes if Trump’s tariff plan goes into effect.
Democrats are already lining up to oppose the plan, calling it a hidden tax on American families. Critics argue that the ERS would add more bureaucracy to an already bloated federal system, without any guarantee of success.
Still, for Trump and his supporters, the proposal is exactly what they want to hear. It’s a direct shot at China and global trade elites, a bold plan to reclaim American economic sovereignty and make foreign businesses pay for the privilege of trading with the U.S.
The question now is whether Congress will play along.
With Republican control of both chambers, the ERS has a chance—but the battle is only beginning. Will this proposal be the next big move in Trump’s economic strategy or just another example of government overreach?
One thing’s for sure: The world is watching.
👉 Stay tuned for more on Trump’s economic agenda and the fight for American trade sovereignty.
Judge Shuts Down Gang-Infested Migrant Housing Complex in Colorado
A Colorado judge has issued an emergency order to close a migrant housing complex in Aurora that has become a hotbed for gang activity and crime. The apartment complex, originally intended as temporary shelter for migrants, has devolved into a dangerous environment plagued by drug trafficking, shootings, and violence. Residents have been pleading for help for months, describing the complex as a lawless zone that puts their safety at risk.
The decision to shut down the complex has sparked a political firestorm. While local officials and law enforcement praised the move, progressive activist groups argued that it would leave vulnerable migrants homeless. Critics of the shutdown insist that the government should focus on providing services rather than punishing those living in the complex.
This case highlights a growing divide in the immigration debate. Supporters of stricter policies argue that unchecked migration has led to an increase in gang activity and crime, while opponents claim that better resources and programs could help address the root causes. What’s clear is that the tension between public safety and humanitarian efforts isn’t going away anytime soon.
Gavin Newsom Caught Lying About His Record—Receipts Expose the Truth
California Governor Gavin Newsom is once again facing scrutiny, this time over false claims about his policies and accomplishments. Newsom has consistently portrayed California as an economic success story and a model for the nation. However, public records and recent data paint a different picture—one of rising poverty, homelessness, and failing infrastructure.
One of Newsom’s most egregious claims involves wildfire prevention. He boasted that California had significantly increased its efforts to prevent wildfires, but official documents reveal that millions of dollars were cut from fire prevention programs during his administration. The timing of these cuts is particularly troubling, as they came despite repeated warnings from experts about the growing risk of catastrophic wildfires.
Critics argue that Newsom’s habit of rewriting history is part of a broader strategy to avoid accountability. His record, especially on wildfire management, has left many questioning his leadership. As Newsom eyes a potential run on the national stage, these revelations could damage his credibility and his chances of positioning himself as a future presidential contender.
Massive Smuggling Tunnel Discovered Between Texas and Mexico
A sophisticated smuggling tunnel connecting Mexico to Texas has been discovered by U.S. officials, raising serious concerns about the growing capabilities of cartel operations. The tunnel, which includes ventilation systems, lighting, and rail tracks, demonstrates the lengths criminal organizations will go to evade border security measures.
The discovery of the tunnel highlights a troubling trend—cartels are becoming more advanced and more determined to continue their smuggling operations. Officials believe the tunnel had been in use for several years, allowing the transport of drugs, weapons, and people across the southern border undetected.
The existence of these tunnels is yet another reminder of the ongoing border crisis. Critics argue that the Biden administration’s lax border policies are emboldening cartels to expand their reach. With each new discovery of smuggling infrastructure, it becomes clear that border security remains a critical issue that demands serious attention.

Why Everything You’ve Heard About the Weather Is Wrong
Here’s what it’s NOT.
This isn’t about climate change models or carbon emissions.
This isn’t about the ozone layer or global warming charts.
And it sure as hell isn’t about planting more trees or recycling soda cans.
That’s the story they want you to believe—the one that makes you feel guilty for driving a gas-powered car or eating a cheeseburger. But it’s all a distraction.
Here’s what it IS.
It’s about weather manipulation.
It’s about governments experimenting with storms, droughts, and earthquakes.
It’s about technology that can control the skies—and why no one talks about it.
This week’s Fed-Up Files takes you down the rabbit hole of real weather control programs—past and present. From Project Stormfury to HAARP, we’ll show you how these programs have quietly evolved and why they could be behind the very disasters we’re told to fear.
It’s not a conspiracy theory. It’s documented reality.

The government keeps telling us they’ve got things under control. They don’t.
Every time they create a new agency or program, it’s just another layer of bureaucracy that hurts everyday Americans while lining the pockets of the powerful.
