WATCH: Scott Bessent Says America Already on Track to Take in OVER $100 BILLION in Tariff Revenue This Year – Estimates “Well Over” $300 BILLION by End of Year as CBO Estimates Over $2.8 TRILLION Over 10 Years

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent provided an update on the massive revenue the United States is bringing in as a result of President Trump’s tariffs during a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, revealing that the U.S. is already set to have at least $100 billion in tariff income by the end of 2025.

He further estimated that the actual amount could be more than three times the current number.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump is levying an additional 10% tariffs on “Any Country aligning themselves with the Anti-American policies of BRICS,” the rapidly expanding international globalist economic group, originally comprised of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.

The President also sent letters to a series of countries, imposing additional tariffs that are set to be paid starting on August 1.

Bessent said that the “major tariffs,” which started in the second quarter of this year, as well as the BRICS tariffs and other tariffs, increase the expected number to “well over $300 billion by the end of the year.”

Even the far-left Congressional Budget Office (CBO) corroborates the numbers, estimating that “the changes in tariffs will reduce total federal deficits by $2.8 trillion” between 2025 and 2035 in their report on “Budgetary and Economic Effects of Increases in Tariffs Implemented Between January 6 and May 13, 2025.”

President Trump responded to these findings by excoriating the Democratic Party and touting his One Big Beautiful Bill, which will provide massive tax cuts for the working class and billions of dollars for border security and deportations.

In his scathing rebuke of the Democrats, he referenced all of the terrible lies they made up about the bill, including their narrative that people are going to die as a result of the cuts in the bill, and pointed out the hypocrisy.

“There’s nothing to do with death. In fact, we’re saving our country. Death is from allowing 25 million people into our country, of which three of four are stone cold, hard criminals, 11,888 are murderers, many of them committing more than one murder. That’s death, and the Democrats did that,” he said. “We have to get them out, and we have no choice. We have to get them out, and we are getting them out.”

However, later in the meeting, the President said that he’s open to not getting every one of the illegal aliens out. As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, and Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer said on Tuesday that the Trump Administration is working on “streamlining” legal status for illegal aliens on farms, while denying that they’re offering amnesty to illegals.

“There’s no amnesty,” Trump said. “What we’re doing is we’re getting rid of criminals, but we are doing a work program.”

WATCH:

Bessent: Sir, we will have taken in about $100 billion in tariff income thus far this year, and that's with the tariffs, the major tariffs, not having started till the second quarter. So, we could expect that could be well over $300 billion by the end of the year. We don't agree with CBO scoring, but for those who do, the CBO scored tariff income over the next 10 years at 2.8 trillion, which we think is probably low. And sir, under your leadership, we're witnessing—

Trump: And they gave us no credit during this last little the great Big Beautiful Bill. I always use the word great. I add that to it because it really is— there’s never been anything like it, actually. And I want to thank all the Republicans that voted for it. And I want to, you know, scold the Democrats because they're voting for tax cuts, they're voting for no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, no tax on overtime, and, you know, many, many other things, far more important than that, great health care. And frankly, they, every Democrat should lose their election because it was purely political. They were told not to vote for it. So, think of it. We got 218 to two. And then with the Senate, we had 50 to three. Democrats didn't vote at all. Not one positive vote with all of the good things in there: Economic development money, tremendous border money. Now you're loaded up on the border, and I don't think we're going to need so much of it because we had zero come in last month. So I'm not sure how much of it we want to spend. You may think about that. You may actually think about saving a lot of money because the wall has been largely built, and it obviously worked. But you may want to think about that.

But so I think it's incredible when I watch the Democrats and they have standard lines, like they had Russia, Russia, Russia. They had the laptop from hell, all came from Russia. You know, they make things up, and they go with it, and they feed it to you people, in many cases, and they said, here's the line. And I hear the new line is death. Oh, it's death. Everyone's going to die. There's nothing to do with death. In fact, we're saving our country. Death is from allowing 25 million people into our country, of which three of four are stone cold, hard criminals, 11,888 are murderers, many of them committing more than one murder. That's death, and the Democrats did that. Joe Biden did that by allowing people to come in here, just totally unchecked, unvetted, open borders, open borders.

The whole world was dumped into our country, from prisons, from gangs, from mental institutions. We have many people walking the streets, walking in areas that we don't know anything about, that came out of insane asylums. They released their insane asylum, the insane asylum population, into our country, and it's amazing the job that you and Tom Homan are doing, by the way, on that. But we have to get them out, and we have no choice. We have to get them out, and we are getting them out.

Gov. JB Pritzker Brokers Deal to Host Roughly 30 Texas Democrats in Chicago for Week-Long Plot Against GOP Redistricting Plan

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker is now playing host to roughly 30 rogue Texas Democrats who fled the Lone Star State to block a mid-decade redistricting vote backed by President Donald Trump and the Republican legislature.

The Texas Democrats, once again resorting to legislative cowardice, broke quorum just before a scheduled special session that would have cemented a new congressional map, one expected to create five new GOP-leaning seats.

In their desperate attempt to stop the vote, these runaway lawmakers fled across state lines to Chicago, where they are being sheltered and advised by none other than far-left Governor Pritzker himself, according to NBC.

This marks the second time in recent years that Texas Democrats have pulled this unconstitutional stunt. They tried the same tactic in 2021—and failed.

In response, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton blasted the lawmakers, saying: “Democrats in the Texas House who try and run away like cowards should be found, arrested, and brought back to the Capitol immediately. We should use every tool at our disposal to hunt down those who think they are above the law.”

Last month, Paxton issued a stern warning, vowing to arrest any Democrats who attempted to play political games.

“If Democrats ignore their duty to their constituents by breaking quorum, they should be found and arrested no matter where they go. The people of Texas elected them to do a job, not run away and hide like cowards. Lawmakers must answer the special session call and pass the important priorities that the Governor has put forward.

My office stands ready to assist local, state, and federal authorities in hunting down and compelling the attendance of anyone who abandons their office and their constituents for cheap political theater.”

Now, far-left Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has brokered a deal to host 30 Texas Democrats in Chicago in a last-ditch attempt to sabotage a redistricting plan backed by President Donald Trump and Texas Republicans.

These rogue Texas lawmakers fled the Lone Star State like cowards, deliberately breaking quorum to grind legislative business to a halt.

NBC reported:

The roughly 30 Democrats are expected to stay for the week in a plan brokered with Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, who had met with the Texas caucus late last month and has directed staff to provide logistical support for their stay. A news conference with the governor and Texas Democrats is expected later Sunday.

“We’re leaving Texas to fight for Texans,” Texas House Democratic Caucus Chair Gene Wu said in a statement. “We will not allow disaster relief to be held hostage to a Trump gerrymander. We’re not walking out on our responsibilities; we’re walking out on a rigged system that refuses to listen to the people we represent. As of today, this corrupt special session is over.”

[…]

Politically, the move puts Pritzker at the center of a high-profile national fight. The governor, who is running for his third term in office, is also widely viewed as a 2028 presidential contender. He has implored Democrats to resist Trump’s agenda.

The origins of Pritzker’s involvement began when the governor gave a keynote address to Oklahoma Democrats in June. Pritzker met privately in a “robust” meeting with the party chair to talk about the Texas redistricting, according to a person close to the governor. When Pritzker later met with Texas Democrats, he assured them they could come to his state and find support, including finding hotels, meeting spaces and other logistical assistance.

The Texas Democrats, however, face the risk of a $500-a-day fine and even possible arrest for fleeing the state. The Republican-controlled Legislature approved the measure in 2023, two years after state Democrats left the state for three weeks to block an elections bill from progressing.

“Democrats have got to stand up at this point and tell every individual in this nation, ‘This is not normal. This is not democracy,’” Democratic state Rep. Ann Johnson told NBC News on Saturday.

Sydney Sweeney Is Revealed to be Registered Republican Amid Woke Backlash Over American Eagle’s ‘Good Jeans’ Ad

In a stunning revelation that’s sure to infuriate the radical left even more, bombshell actress Sydney Sweeney has been outed as a registered Republican in Florida, just as she’s facing absurd backlash over a harmless American Eagle jeans advertisement.

The 27-year-old “Euphoria” star, known for her roles in hit shows and films, registered with the GOP in Monroe County in June 2024, according to public voter records viewed by The Gateway Pundit.

This comes at a time when left-wing activists are desperately trying to cancel her for an ad that playfully puns on “great jeans” and “good genes,” twisting it into some far-fetched eugenics conspiracy.

The controversy erupted last week when American Eagle launched its fall campaign featuring Sweeney. In the ad, the blonde beauty struts in denim while narrating about her family heritage: “My parents always said I got good genes… Great jeans look good on everyone.”

The ad’s slogan is a clever play on words, tying into the brand’s jeans line and celebrating confidence and personal style. But in today’s hyper-woke climate, nothing innocent escapes the outrage mob. Critics on social media, particularly from progressive circles, accused the ad of promoting “white supremacy” and eugenics, claiming the “genes” reference evokes Nazi-era ideals of genetic superiority, simply because Sweeney is white, attractive, and unapologetically feminine.

American Eagle fired back against the nonsense, issuing a statement that read, in part, “Her jeans. Her story. We’ll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way.”

This isn’t the first time Sweeney has faced scrutiny for not toeing the Hollywood leftist line. Rumors of her conservative leanings have swirled for years, fueled by photos from a family gathering where people were seen wearing red MAGA hats. Sweeney never commented on the controversy.

Sweeney is no longer just a talented actress, she’s emerging as a symbol of resistance against cancel culture.

Motorcyclist Gets Taught a Hard Lesson After Performing Dangerous Stunts in Front of Police Officers (VIDEO)

A motorcyclist got taught a hard lesson after deciding to perform stupid stunts while driving in front of police.

As KKTV reported on Thursday, a person in Pueblo, Colorado got busted by police last month after officers witnessed a series of reckless moves by him and two of his cronies.

These motorcyclists blocked traffic with their stunts, causing several community members to call the cops and complain.

As the video below shows, motorcyclists perform sets of wheelies and stand up on the seat, endangering themselves and others on the road.

Once the motorcyclists reach a stoplight, the Pueblo police spring into action. They gang tackle the motorcyclist closest to them, and the other two drivers speed off.

He is then put into handcuffs.

WATCH:

One of the officers angrily explains to the motorcyclist that he has a whole dashcam of him doing stupid things while driving on the road, endangering everybody.

Then the idiot receives news that he probably considers worse than an arrest: the police officer tells him they will tow his bike and put a hold on it for a nuisance.

“Oh no, please don’t do that,” he whines.

The policeman further explains that the bike will now go into storage, and the biker must pay the tow fee every day for six months.

“No, dude. Please don’t do this. It’s a minibike, I hardly ever ride that thing,” he whimpers.

The cop closes by telling the motorcyclist they are not trying to make his life harder, but that he put everyone in danger. Thus, he needs to suffer the consequences for his actions.
