Tonight, President Donald Trump addressed a joint session of Congress, not officially a State of the Union but a defining moment six weeks into his second term. Invited by Speaker Mike Johnson on Jan. 25, 2025, to share his “America First vision” (Axios, 3/4/25), Trump laid out his agenda. Here’s what he talked about, based on pre-speech reporting, his priorities, and real-time buzz from X and news outlets as of 9:44 PM MST.
Economic Revival via Tariffs
Trump likely doubled down on his economic plan, spotlighting tariffs—25% on Canada/Mexico, 10% on China—set for April 2, 2025 (NPR, 3/3/25; CBS, 3/4/25). He’s pushing these as a manufacturing boon, promising jobs and “hundreds of billions” in growth, per a White House leak to Fox News Digital (X: @American_Notes_, 3/4/25). Critics warn of trade wars, but Trump framed it as “The Renewal of the American Dream,” a theme echoed on X (@dogeai_gov, 3/4/25). He may have cited early wins, like $1.7T in manufacturing investments (unverified X claim), tying it to his popular vote win in Nov. 2024.
Immigration took center stage. Trump’s inaugural pledge (1/20/25) to deport “millions” with criminal records (POLITICO, 3/4/25) likely morphed into a funding ask for border protection tonight (NPR, 3/3/25). He might’ve touted the Laken Riley Act—signed Jan. 2025 (hypothetical but plausible)—as a public safety win, aligning with his first-term border wall push (NPR, 3/2/25). Expect fiery rhetoric on “securing America,” met with GOP cheers and Dem boos.
Government Efficiency (DOGE)
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, was a highlight. Trump’s already slashed tens of thousands of federal jobs (NPR, 3/4/25), claiming to save “hundreds of billions” in fraud (CBS, 3/4/25). Democrats brought fired workers as guests (The Guardian, 3/4/25), but Trump likely spun it as draining the swamp, a nod to his base. X posts (@dogeai_gov) speculate on Musk’s influence—details TBD.
On the world stage, Trump addressed Ukraine after a tense Feb. 2025 Zelenskyy meeting (U.S. News, 3/3/25). He and VP Vance have soured on aid, pushing a tariff-first trade stance (CNN via X: @MichaelArt123, 3/4/25). Peace in the Russo-Ukrainian War might’ve been floated—classic Trump dealmaker talk—though specifics await the transcript.
Electoral Mandate and Showmanship.
Trump reveled in his 2024 sweep—popular vote, all seven battlegrounds (CBS, 3/4/25). His Truth Social tease (3/3/25, “TOMORROW NIGHT WILL BE BIG”) hinted at a victory lap (Axios, 3/4/25). Expect theatrics—maybe guest shoutouts, like his 2020 Limbaugh medal moment (NPR, 3/2/25)—to rile up the crowd.
The chamber was electric. Rep. Al Green (D-TX) got ejected for interrupting (CBS, 3/4/25), sparking “USA” chants from Republicans and boos from Dems. It’s 2020 redux—Pelosi’s speech-tearing vibe (WaPo, 3/4/25)—showing Trump still thrives on division.
This is pieced from NPR, CBS, Axios, The Guardian, POLITICO (all 3/3-4/25), plus X buzz. Tariffs, DOGE cuts, and Ukraine shifts are confirmed early moves.
Trump’s setting the tone for 2025-2029: aggressive economics, border hawkishness, leaner government, and a brash foreign policy. Love or hate him, he’s got the mandate and the stage. What’d you think of the speech?

Let’s talk Mercury—closest rock to the Sun, a sizzling 800°F by day, a bone-chilling -290°F by night, no real atmosphere, just a whisper of gas and a surface that looks like God’s own anvil took a beating. The scientific crowd calls it a lost cause, uninhabitable, a dead end. I say they’re missing the point. We’ve got a blueprint staring us in the face, and it’s been here for thousands of years—not just in scripture, but in one of God’s toughest creations: the ant colony. Ants don’t flinch at deserts or frost—they dig in, hustle resources, and turn hellscapes into home. Mercury’s no different if we stop whining and start working.
Earth’s biomes are our sandbox, a divine gift to test the playbook. Take the harshest spots—Death Valley’s furnace, Antarctica’s icebox, the Atacama’s dust bowl. If we can crack those, we can crack anything out there. Start with water. On Earth, mankind’s used dowsing rods—wicking sticks—for ages to sniff out springs. Pair that with seismic scans or satellite maps, find an aquifer in the Mojave, and force it up. Maybe drill, maybe blast, maybe mimic a quake—pop the cork like champagne and let it flow. History says it works: Earth’s rivers and lakes didn’t need us; quakes and floods carved them before man or beast showed up. Noah’s flood? That wasn’t just a washout—it gouged the Grand Canyon, shaped the rock we gawk at today. Water’s a sculptor, and God’s the architect.
Now Mercury. It’s got ice—real ice—hiding in polar craters where the Sun can’t touch it. NASA’s MESSENGER rig spotted it, radar bouncing back bright as a dime. Not much, maybe enough to fill a lake, locked in shadows at -200°F. No deep oceans underground—Mercury’s too small, too baked—but that’s plenty to start. Orbit satellites with mirrors, like shining a spotlight on an ant hill, and focus solar heat to melt it. Pressure builds, springs pop, water flows. No ice left? Ship it in—comets, asteroids, whatever. Ants don’t care where the crumbs come from—they haul it home. Store it in tunnels, deep where the heat can’t steal it, and let it run free. Could flood the lowlands, carve channels, pool in craters like Caloris. Might not be Noah-level dramatic, but it’d rise—50/50 shot it reshapes the planet whether we nudge it or not.
Shelter’s next. Mercury’s got lava tubes—old volcanic veins from when it was a fiery mess billions back. Pit craters prove it, collapsed roofs into tunnels wide as a football field. No active volcanoes now, just scars, but those tubes are gold—natural bunkers from radiation and heat swings. Dig in like ants, carve a warren connecting ice to homes. On Earth, test it in desert caves or tundra burrows—half-submerged huts, teepee-small, using waste for methane heat, mirrors magnifying sunlight into greenhouses. Works here, it’ll work there. If we hit a tube and crack it? Empty’s fine—roof over our heads. Lava’s a ghost story; Mercury’s too quiet for that now.
Time’s the kicker. Earth’s land took billions of years—water receding, floods cutting stone, no rush. Mercury could too, left alone. But mankind’s impatient—we’d speed it. Decades to plant a colony, centuries to make it thrive. Build landmasses? Sure, pile dirt, dig channels—but don’t bet on it sticking. Water’s got a mind of its own, and God’s steering. Look at the flood: man’s plans drowned, nature redrew the map. Same risk on Mercury—intervene, and it might still wash out. I say pop the cork, let it flow, and trust the design. Ants don’t overthink; they adapt.
Every biome’s a lesson—tundra teaches heat, desert teaches water, swamps teach grit. Mercury’s just the warm-up. Nail this, and Mars, Titan, the great beyond’s next. Earth’s our proving ground, God’s blueprint in its bones and bugs. History repeats—floods, colonies, survival. We’ve got the tools, old and new. Why not start?

It’s not storming palaces anymore; it’s slinking through ballots, bureaucracy, and bleeding talent, hollowing out nations slow and legal. I see it in Alaska, Hawaii, and the mainland—an enemy that adapts, preying on ignorance and fading morality to lock us in a fictionalized prison.
Start with the roots. Marx and Engels lit the fuse in 1848, but Lenin pulled the trigger in 1917—Bolsheviks, a few thousand strong, flipped Russia by hitting choke points. Mao waited ‘til 1949, Castro ‘til 1959—violence only when victory was sure. The world caught on, so they shifted: slow, subtle, legal. Gramsci nailed it in the ‘30s—skip the rifles, own the culture. Schools, laws, minds. By the Cold War, it was proxy votes, not proxy wars—Poland’s 1947 “election,” a Soviet sham in democratic drag.
Now look west. Alaska and Hawaii, late to the U.S. party, show the playbook. Brain drain’s brutal—Alaska loses 60% of its college grads to the Lower 48; Hawaii’s down 10,000 in 2022, priced out by $8 milk and tourism gigs. Smart ones leave, leaving the rest pliable. Bureaucracy creeps—feds own 60% of Alaska, lock up oil with “conservation”; Hawaii’s zoned for resorts, not locals. Voters buy it—Alaska’s dividend gets cut for green dreams, Hawaii taxes paradise to “save” it. Morality frays- Environmentalism’s the mask—ANWR’s off-limits, Hawaii’s farmers choke on regs. It’s not red flags; it’s red tape.
Mainland’s the same, scaled up. Rust Belt’s a ghost—Ohio’s out 42,000 since 2020, Michigan’s factories rot while coders flee to Austin. California’s lost 800,000, chasing Texas’ freedom. Talent drains, control fills the void. Feds own 80% of Nevada, 63% of Utah—EPA strangles Iowa farmers, New York bans gas stoves by 2030. Legal, voter-stamped: California’s 63% back emissions cuts, Illinois drowns in union debt—$144 billion. Crime spikes—Chicago’s 500 murders yearly, Philly’s carjackings up 200%. Families crack—27% single-parent homes, opioids kill 107,000 in 2022. Schools stagnate—reading’s flat since 2000, college costs triple. Green agendas tighten the noose—Colorado’s 80% renewable by 2040, California’s gas-car ban by 2035. Voters cheer, sold on fear or handouts—62% want “more government” (Gallup, 2023).
This isn’t Marx with a manifesto—it’s Marx lite, patient, cloaked. A handful sway the mass: Lenin’s vanguard, Chávez’s ballot wins—36% in Chile ‘70, Venezuela ‘98. Ignorance is the fuel—Alaska’s grad rate’s 78%, mainland’s kids can’t read but know climate guilt. Morality’s the casualty—church is under 50%, despair’s up. Environmentalism’s the trojan horse—lock land, kill jobs, call it virtue. The prison’s built vote by vote, law by law, until autonomy’s a memory.
But it’s not over. Florida grows 400,000, shrugs off the script. Texas fights feds on energy. Oregon’s drug flop flipped back. People aren’t always dupes—Trump, Brexit, raw pushbacks. The enemy adapts, but so can we. See it: brain drain’s a symptom, bureaucracy’s a weapon, ballots are the trigger. Wake up before the cage clicks shut.

In the context of today's socio-economic challenges, I propose a series of reforms to redistribute power and responsibility back to the citizens: These reforms aim to empower communities, minimize governmental overreach, and restore power to the people, cultivating a society where responsibility, integrity, and common sense are paramount.
- End Property Taxes: Once an asset is fully paid for, it should be free from further taxation, affirming absolute ownership and reducing government dependency. Encouraging more private ownership of land and property, enriching the lives of American citizens.
- Abolish Special lobbies & donors: This is to aim at fair politics. Making it illegal for donors both foreign and domestic, including corporations. This also aims to make politics unfavorable for foreign influence and discourage bad policies. George Soros paying for judges and DAs, impacting states by “challenging our justice system.” The data backs your focus on DAs: Soros has funneled over $40 million since 2016 into electing progressive prosecutors across the U.S., per a 2023 Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund (LELDF) report. These DAs—like Larry Krasner (Philadelphia), George Gascón (Los Angeles), and Kim Foxx (Chicago)—represent over 70 million people, roughly 1 in 5 Americans. His Open Society Foundations and PACs (e.g., Safety and Justice) target local races, where smaller budgets mean his money—often 80-90% of a candidate’s total—can dominate.
The policy shift is clear: these DAs often push decarceration, reduced prosecutions, or lenient plea deals. In Philadelphia, Krasner (backed by $1.7 million from Soros in 2017) fired 31 prosecutors, declined most drug cases, and saw murders jump 63% and shootings 78% by 2021. Gascón in LA (over $2 million in 2020) ignored certain crimes, correlating with a 55% murder spike (258 in 2019 to 397 in 2021). Critics link this to Soros’s influence, arguing it prioritizes ideology over public safety
- Abolish Eminent Domain: The American Government should not have the authority or obligation, either purchased or held, to own to forcibly take property from its citizens. Kelo v. City of New London (2005) case is a standout: the city seized homes in a working-class neighborhood not for a public facility, but to hand over to a private developer for economic revitalization, claiming it would boost jobs and taxes. Critics saw it as a power grab favoring corporate interests, and the project famously flopped—Pfizer abandoned the site, leaving the land vacant.
- Abolish TSA: The airlines can hire police officers to guard and protect the terminal from criminal behavior, even patrol around the premises. Airlines can also hire security teams to perform 'reasonable' search, without violating the personal and private space of those who seek to use their services.
- Abolish Social Services: Once upon a time, people used to take responsibility for a child without the need or use of social services. We the People need to return to these roots, removing government oversight and empowering the citizens to adopt to the best of their ability.
- Abolish Social Security: Let the citizens put away and scae their money and look after their own future without the need of government laws and oversight. The people are responsible for their own future.
- Abolish Unions: Unions only exist to make people lazy like remote working environments. Unions are organized criminals using organized government criminals to supercede working environments, often causing harm by stifling and choking out effective solutions to common problems.
