Biden's Son's Pardon Resurfaces, Trump Builds the Wall—Who’s Really Running This Country?
One man’s cleaning up a mess; the other’s making sure no one pays for theirs.

TRUMP UNLEASHES ‘AMERICA FIRST SECURITY ACT’—LIBERALS MELT DOWN IN REAL TIME
Turns out building the damn wall isn’t dead—it’s back, and louder than ever.
Trump isn’t wasting a second in his return to power. In one swift move, he dropped the “America First Security Act”—a sweeping executive action that jumpstarts border wall construction and accelerates deportations. Predictably, the left is screeching. Elizabeth Warren called it “xenophobic,” but supporters are already cheering it as long-overdue common sense. Let’s unpack the chaos.
Trump’s new order fast-tracks DHS authority to reallocate federal funds, build the wall, and streamline deportations. No more waiting on Congress. No more legal limbo. Just action. In the first 24 hours, #AmericaFirstAct and #BorderWall2025 exploded to over 600,000 posts. X lit up with dueling memes—Trump pointing at maps vs. protesters in pink hats holding “No Human is Illegal” signs.
The meltdown was instant. Elizabeth Warren declared it “one of the most dangerous, xenophobic acts in modern history.” But down in Texas, Gov. Abbott called it “exactly what we’ve been waiting for.” Border crossings are up 23% in just two months, and even CNN had to admit it’s “unsustainable.” Funny how they whisper that part.
Trump’s using the same executive muscle Biden used to cancel student loans—only this time, it’s to enforce the law instead of buy votes. The DHS can now bypass the usual bureaucratic nonsense and get real work done. The media is already trying to bury the details under cries of racism, but the reality is this: the wall is getting built, deportations are picking up, and voters are watching closely.
“The Department of Homeland Security is hereby authorized to bypass bureaucratic obstacles that have delayed enforcement of immigration laws for years.” That line from the order isn’t just legalese—it’s the sound of D.C. red tape being ripped apart.
Trump didn’t wait. He acted. And that’s what separates talkers from leaders. The border crisis is no longer a debate—it’s a construction site.
HOUSE GOP MOVES TO DEFUND PLANNED PARENTHOOD—AOC SCREAMS ‘WAR ON WOMEN’
The Left calls it healthcare. Conservatives call it taxpayer-funded carnage.
On Saturday, House Republicans introduced new legislation to pull federal funding from Planned Parenthood. The bill, backed by Speaker Mike Johnson, reignites a long-running battle over abortion and government spending. As expected, the outrage machine kicked into overdrive. AOC led a march through D.C., megaphone in hand, declaring the bill “an attack on every woman in America.”
Within hours, #DefundPP and #SavePP flooded X, racking up over 300,000 posts. Protest videos swept TikTok—women in bloodied hospital gowns, GOP effigies, the usual spectacle. Planned Parenthood released a statement calling the move “an assault on reproductive freedom.” But the GOP’s message is simpler: if you want an abortion, don’t expect taxpayers to foot the bill.
This isn’t some budget footnote—it’s a direct challenge to one of the Left’s sacred institutions. And the timing is intentional. With the 2026 midterms on the horizon, House Republicans are drawing hard lines on cultural battlegrounds. Johnson called the bill “a stand for life and fiscal sanity.” Fox News reports that over $600 million in federal funds went to Planned Parenthood last year, despite the group raking in private donations and charging for services.
The media is framing it as anti-woman. But here’s the question they won’t ask: why should struggling Americans in red states pay for coastal clinics they’ll never use? The bill is expected to pass the House but face an uphill fight in the Senate. Still, the lines are drawn—and this fight’s just getting started.
BIDEN PARDONS HUNTER—CORRUPTION OR COMPASSION? AMERICA EXPLODES
Hunter got a get-out-of-jail-free card—and daddy signed it.
In his final days before handing over the keys to Trump, Joe Biden issued a full presidential pardon for his son Hunter, covering all federal convictions related to tax fraud, illegal gun possession, and influence peddling. The backlash was immediate. Trump torched the move on Truth Social, calling it “the most corrupt pardon in American history.” Meanwhile, Biden loyalists are spinning it as a “father’s love.” Give us a break.
The online firestorm hit quick: #HunterPardon and #BidenCorrupt clocked 400K+ posts in less than 12 hours. Memes of Joe handing Hunter a gold “Pardon Pass” flooded X, while Reddit lit up with breakdowns of every shady deal tied to the Biden name. White House staff claimed it was a personal decision, not a political one. Sure—just like those Chinese wire transfers were “loans.”
Hunter was convicted last year on multiple counts, including willful failure to pay taxes and lying on a federal firearm form. Republicans have been screaming for accountability for years, and now, right before walking out the door, Biden wipes the slate clean. If Trump had pardoned Don Jr. for anything remotely close to this, the media would’ve lost its mind. But here? They’re calling it “complicated.”
This isn’t compassion—it’s protection. Biden didn’t just pardon his son, he pardoned a mountain of dirty laundry before the GOP could pull it all into daylight. The legacy media won’t say it, but we will: this was an elite privilege move from a man who never thought rules applied to his family.
TRUMP LAUNCHES “TRUMPCARE”—PROMISES TO RIP OUT OBAMACARE BY THE ROOTS
Same fight. New name. And this time, he’s bringing backup.
On Saturday, President Trump announced plans to finally repeal the Affordable Care Act and replace it with his own proposal: “TrumpCare.” Backed by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the plan aims to expand private options, cut insurance bureaucracy, and slash federal healthcare mandates. Trump called it “common sense for working Americans.” Bernie Sanders responded by calling it “a disaster for millions,” warning it would leave the vulnerable behind. The internet? Completely unhinged.
#TrumpCare and #SaveACA exploded on X with over 500,000 posts. Memes mocked the rebrand—some slapped MAGA hats on hospital logos, others posted “TrumpCare: Now with more freedom, less coverage.” But the base isn’t laughing—they’re fired up. TrumpCare promises to lower costs, cut out the middlemen, and give Americans the right to choose what works for them—not what D.C. bureaucrats shove down their throats.
This isn’t just repeal-and-replace 2.0. Trump’s working with RFK Jr. to restructure how insurance companies get paid and reallocate federal subsidies toward direct patient care. It’s wonky under the hood, but the message is simple: more freedom, less government. Sanders is already on a media tour, warning of “massive human suffering,” but conveniently ignores that Obamacare premiums jumped 40% in some states last year.
If Trump pulls this off, it won’t just be a healthcare shift—it’ll be a political middle finger to the legacy of Obama and Biden. Expect every Democrat with a camera to scream “genocide,” but for millions of Americans priced out by the current system, TrumpCare might sound like relief.

Thanks for reading The Daily Briefing. This isn’t just a newsletter—it’s a weapon against the media’s gaslight machine. Our job is to expose the spin, call out the rot, and give real Americans the ammo to fight back.
Trump didn’t blink. Biden didn’t hesitate. And the media’s playing dumb on both. You decide which story gets remembered.
~ Scott 🇺🇸
P.S.
Here’s my take: The Hunter pardon wasn’t just corrupt—it was cowardice dressed as fatherhood. And it’s insulting to every family who’s watched their own get crushed by the same justice system that gave Biden’s kid a lifeline. Am I wrong? Or is this the clearest sign yet that the elites live by a different set of rules?
