Trump’s Push To Lower Prescription Drug Prices Hits Major Milestone

President Donald Trump revealed Sunday that he will be lowering drug prices for Americans, sharing posts across the White House official website, traditional and new media on his actions.

Shortly before noon on Monday, May 12, Trump signed an Executive Order to bring the prices “Americans and taxpayers pay for prescription drugs in line with those paid by similar nations,” according to a fact sheet shared by the White House.

Details of the EO:

The Order directs the U.S. Trade Representative and Secretary of Commerce to take action to ensure foreign countries are not engaged in practices that purposefully and unfairly undercut market prices and drive price hikes in the United States.

The Order instructs the Administration to communicate price targets to pharmaceutical manufacturers to establish that America, the largest purchaser and funder of prescription drugs in the world, gets the best deal.

The Secretary of Health and Human Services will establish a mechanism through which American patients can buy their drugs directly from manufacturers who sell to Americans at a “Most-Favored-Nation” price, bypassing middlemen.

If drug manufacturers fail to offer most-favored-nation pricing, the Order directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to: (1) propose rules that impose most-favored-nation pricing; and (2) take other aggressive measures to significantly reduce the cost of prescription drugs to the American consumer and end anticompetitive practices.

Again, from the White House:

According to recent data, the prices Americans pay for brand-name drugs are more than three times the price other OECD nations pay, even after accounting for discounts manufacturers provide in the U.S.

The United States has less than five percent of the world’s population, yet funds roughly 75% of global pharmaceutical profits.

Drug manufacturers discount their products to gain access to foreign markets and then subsidize those discounts through high prices charged in America—in essence, Americans are subsidizing drug-manufacturer profits and foreign health systems, despite drug manufacturers benefiting from generous research subsidies and enormous healthcare spending by the U.S. Government.

In his first term, President Trump took historic action to keep Medicare and seniors from paying more for drugs than economically comparable countries, which the Biden Administration rescinded before it could take effect.

Instead of fixing this problem, the Biden Administration’s greatest achievement was to negotiate prices that were, on average, 78 percent higher than in 11 comparable countries as part of Biden’s effort to “beat Medicare.”

Putting Patients First

This Order builds on actions from President Trump’s first term to make progress on reducing price disparities at home and expands those efforts by including Medicaid in addition to Medicare.

President Trump recently signed an Executive Order to take additional action to lower drug prices, including by providing massive discounts to low-income patients for lifesaving medicines, facilitating importation programs, and increasing the availability of generic and biosimilar medicines.

President Trump is also working to make drug prices radically transparent, as he recently signed an Executive Order to build on his historic price transparency efforts undertaken during his first term.

President Trump has been relentless in his effort to address the unfair and outrageous prices Americans pay for prescription drugs:

President Trump: “In case after case, our citizens pay massively higher prices than other nations pay for the same exact pill, from the same factory, effectively subsidizing socialism aboard [abroad] with skyrocketing prices at home. So we would spend tremendous amounts of money in order to provide inexpensive drugs to another country. And when I say the price is different, you can see some examples where the price is beyond anything — four times, five times different.”

Trump’s “Lessons” About Life “Are So Profound,” Says Gingrich

Trump’s “Lessons” About Life “Are So Profound,” Says Gingrich

Newt Gingrich shared a blog post on his website on May 2 on President Donald Trump’s “ten lessons he had learned about life.” Gingrich said that he found the message “so profound,” he shared what he said to students at University of Alabama.

As you embark on this great adventure, let me share some of the biggest lessons I’ve learned from a lifetime spent building dreams and beating the odds. I beat a lot of odds. A lot of people said, “I don’t know,” but it worked out okay. Where are we? Oh gee, I’m president. How did that happen?

Now, you’re going to be in the same position. Would you like to hear some of these ideas or should I just skip over that part, huh? That’s going to be more interesting than all the other stuff, which was slightly political, right? I’m going to give it to you, though—just as I see it and as I’ve learned it, the hard way and the easy way.

First, if you’re here today and think that you’re too young to do something great, let me tell you that you are wrong. You’re not too young. You can have great success at a very young age. You’re all very young. In America, with drive and ambition, young people can do anything.

‘Don’t Waste Your Youth’

I was 28 when I took my first big gamble—to develop a hotel in Midtown Manhattan, the Grand Hyatt—and it worked out incredibly well. But I was very young at the time. I was like a very young person in sort of an old person’s business.

Steve Jobs was 21 when he founded Apple. Walt Disney was 21 when he founded Disney. James Madison, James Monroe, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson—they were no older than 25 when they began the journeys that etched their names into the history books for all time.

So to everyone here today: Don’t waste your youth. Go out and fight right from the beginning—from the day you leave this incredible university. Go out and fight. Fight tough, fight fair—but go out and fight. You’re gonna be very successful, because now is the time to work harder than you have ever worked before. Push yourself further than you have ever pushed yourself before. Find your limits—and then smash through everything. Go and smash through.

You’ve watched that football team smash through—you’re gonna do the same thing. You’re at the age when you have the time and vitality to do really incredible things, if you give it your all. You’ll look back, and a decade from now, you’ll be astounded by what you’ve achieved.

‘Love What You Do’

You’ll remember this day. You’ll remember when the guy named Trump was giving the commencement address and he said, “I could do it.” And guess what? I think you’re going to remember that very fondly. I hope so.

Second of all, and very importantly, you have to love what you do, okay? You have to. I rarely see somebody that’s successful that doesn’t love what he or she does. That way, you really like work—it isn’t work. It’s fun. I find it fun. I work all the time, and I find that fun. If I didn’t find it, I wouldn’t be successful—whether it was real estate or in showbiz. I had a lot of different careers.

But I loved real estate so much. I was very successful in real estate because I loved it. I learned a lot from my father because I watched him work. He was a workaholic. He loved to work. He was a good man. He was a tough guy—tough as hell, actually. Now that I think back, I don’t know if you could even get away with that nowadays. He was tough, but he was a good man, I’ll tell you.

He worked seven days a week. He worked Saturdays, Sundays—it didn’t matter. And I learned by watching him. He loved his life. He loved what he was doing. He had a great long-term marriage—many, many, many years. He beat me on that one. Now, mine were very successful, but they haven’t lasted quite as long. It was close to 70 years. That was a long time. I said, “Pop, you beat me on that one.”

But you know what I learned from him? That he loved life. And all he did was work. I see people that don’t work hard and they’re miserable. So go out and find something you love—and do it.

‘America Doesn’t Aim Small’

You have to find something that you love, and you have to follow your own instincts. Listen to your parents—they’re very wise—but you have to follow your instincts and your heart, your soul, and you want to be the very, very best you can be. Treat every day like a home game against Auburn. Fight like hell and enjoy doing it—and your coach can tell you all about that.

Third thing is to think big. You know, if you’re going to do something, you might as well think big, because it’s just as tough. You can think small—I know a lot of people, they thought small. They’re very smart. I know others that weren’t nearly as smart, but they had a better picture of the big picture. Because it’s just as hard to solve a small problem as a big problem. It’s just as much energy and everything else, except the result is going to be a smaller one.

So love what you do—but think big, if it’s possible. Now, if it’s not possible, that’s okay too. You do something—you have to do something that you love. You will have all the same headaches and challenges, all the same delays and setbacks, so you might as well do something that’s just amazing.

America doesn’t aim small. Alabama doesn’t aim small. And neither do you. So think big when possible. Think big.

Fourth is work hard. Work hard. Never, ever stop. An example is a great athlete actually—Gary Player, golfer. Great, great golfer. He wasn’t as big as other men. He was actually on the small side—don’t tell him that, he’s a friend of mine. Don’t tell him that, because he doesn’t understand that. But he worked very, very hard. He made up for it. He never stopped. He won 168 golf tournaments—think of that. I said, “Gary, you’re winning like every weekend. Do you ever choke or anything?” He said, “I don’t know what choke means.”

Trump Is Not Running In 2028, Despite Corporate Media Hysteria

President Donald Trump shut down all speculation that he’ll be seeking a third term in 2028 during a Saturday interview with “Meet The Press’s” Kristen Welker.

“I will say this, so many people want me to do it. I’ve never had requests so strong as that, but it’s something that, to the best of my knowledge, you’re not allowed to do,” Trump explained during the interview, according to The Post Millennial.

“I don’t know if that’s constitutional that they’re not allowing you to do it, but there are many people selling the 2028 hat. But this is not something I’m looking to do. I’m looking to have four great years and turn it over to somebody, ideally a great Republican, to carry it forward. I think we’re going to have four years, and I think four years is plenty of time to do something really spectacular.”

Constitutional Amendment

Welker noted that Trump could theoretically push through a constitutional amendment that would allow him to hold a third term in office. Trump said that the only reason people are pushing him to run for a third term is “because they like the job I’m doing, and it’s a compliment.”

At no point has anyone present the President with any practical plan to run for a third term. People have just brought it up “in the capacity of being a big supporter.” Trump is absolutely “not looking at” the idea of even thinking about running for a third term.

Can The MAGA Movement Survive Without Trump’s Leadership?

The short answer is “yes,” as the political “Make America Great Again” movement has fundamentally reshaped American culture and the entire identity of the Republican party, inspiring countless elected officials to follow the MAGA platform.

“I think it’s so strong. I think we have tremendous people, and I think we have a tremendous group of people,” Trump said of those who could potentially step in to run the party in 2028. “You look at [Secretary of State] Marco Rubio, you look at [Vice President] JD Vance, who is fantastic. I could name ten, fifteen, twenty people now just sitting here. I think we have a tremendous party.”

“I also see tremendous unity. But certainly, you’d say that somebody’s the VP—if that person is outstanding, I guess that person would have the advantage. But I think the other people would all stay in unbelievably high positions. But it could be that he’d be challenged by somebody. We have a lot of good people in this party,” when asked if Vance was the natural next leader for the Republican Party.

Trump Suggests Rebuilding, Reopening Alcatraz As Functioning Prison

President Donald Trump suggested Monday (May 5) that the historical island prison of Alcatraz should be rebuilt and reopened to house some of America’s most serious criminals.

“REBUILD, AND OPEN ALCATRAZ! For too long, America has been plagued by vicious, violent, and repeat Criminal Offenders, the dregs of society, who will never contribute anything other than Misery and Suffering,” Trump wrote on X mid-morning Monday.

“When we were a more serious Nation, in times past, we did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals, and keep them far away from anyone they could harm. That’s the way it’s supposed to be. No longer will we tolerate these Serial Offenders who spread filth, bloodshed, and mayhem on our streets. That is why, today, I am directing the Bureau of Prisons, together with the Department of Justice, FBI, and Homeland Security, to reopen a substantially enlarged and rebuilt ALCATRAZ, to house America’s most ruthless and violent Offenders,” he continued. “We will no longer be held hostage to criminals, thugs, and Judges that are afraid to do their job and allow us to remove criminals, who came into our Country illegally. The reopening of ALCATRAZ will serve as a symbol of Law, Order, and JUSTICE. We will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

Alcatraz is famously located in the San Francisco Bay and once housed America’s most notorious criminals. Many of our modern day monsters now freely roam the streets of San Francisco. While many posts try to claim crime in the Bay Area has decreased significantly in recent years, this is untrue. California’s largely Soros-funded politicians have simply relegated many violent crimes to misdemeanors, meaning the crime stats are lower because the crimes have been rebranded as “not crimes.”

Did One Famous Finance Guy See This Coming?

Back in 2022, financial expert Michael Burry — best known for his portrayal by Christian Bale in “The Big Short” — liquidated almost all of his investments except for one, according to me (Kay Smythe Hill) when I wrote for the Daily Caller. His one remaining investment was 500,000 Geo Group, an organization dedicated to building private prisons and mental health facilities.

At the time, the need for private prisons and mental health facilities was enormous across a majority of blue states, thanks largely to poor policy and the defund the police movement.

Burry, who knew the housing market would crash in 2008 and was one of the few people who actually made money from his bet, is seen as something of an economic oracle. Did he see the need for a regrowth in the prison and mental health systems, and knew that one day a great leader would destroy the normalization of violent crime across the U.S.? Maybe. It was a pretty easy bet, but it was one that so many others missed.

Glenn Beck Reveals Fascinating Trump-Musk-Tesla Generational Connection

Glenn Beck Reveals Fascinating Trump-Musk-Tesla Generational Connection

/

Rawpixel.com / Shutterstock.com

A clip from a recent Glenn Beck interview with President Donald Trump went viral in late April for revealing the fascinating connection between the president, his uncle, Elon Musk, and famously tragic engineer Nikola Tesla.

“How crazy is it, that you are working with Elon Musk, today’s Tesla, and when Tesla died, it was your genius uncle that was sent to try and figure out what papers should be kept,” Beck said in what appeared to be almost an off-hand comment to Trump at the end of the interview — which was focused on Trump’s first 100 days in office.

Some of you may know this story, but we thought we’d share it with you again as we found it so fascinating ourselves. It starts with Nikola Tesla, one of the most famous yet tragic minds of the modern era. Put succinctly (and in very much colloquial terms), Tesla invented free wireless energy. The whole world could have been revolutionized, our futures sealed in prosperity thanks to his invention, but his funding was cut by the folks creating the power grid. After he died, his works were quietly shuffled away for the most part, but the useful stuff was reviewed by Trump’s uncle, John G. Trump, an electrical engineer and physicist at MIT.

Connection To The Future …

Some hundred years or so later, Trump is working alongside “today’s Tesla,” Musk, who named one of his most famous companies “Tesla.”

To say that history repeats itself is not fair in this circumstance, as John G. Trump only reviewed Tesla’s work after the investor’s passing. Today’s Trump and Musk are working fairly closely together, but both Trump’s do share one commonality: how nice they are about the respective genius in their lives. According to Trump, his uncle wrote many glowing things about Tesla, despite him being something of a persona non grata at the time.

We all know how Trump feels about Musk and his work at the Department of Government Efficiency. At the time of writing, DOGE has saved an estimated $160,000,000 for the U.S. tax payer, which breaks down to roughly $993.79 per tax-paying individual.

Belief In Life After Death Is On The Rise Across America, Even Among “Non-Believers”

Belief In Life After Death Is On The Rise Across America, Even Among “Non-Believers”

/

An article published in April (17, 2025) detailed how analysis by one professor found that belief in the afterlife is soaring amongst all people, not just those with a specific religious denomination.

Eastern Illinois University professor Ryan Burge analyzed almost fifty years worth of data collected through the General Social Survey, which asked a very straight forward question:

Do You Believe In Life After Death?

Respondents were able to answer a simple “yes” or “no” question. Despite a moderate uptick in recent years, the initial graph was arguably one of the most boring we’ve ever seen. Ever. Even Burge noted that “this graph is most certainly not going to go viral on social media” due to the lack of dramatic data provided.

“In that first data collection in 1973, about 76% of folks believed in something beyond this life. But by 1990, that figure had crept up to just about 80% and it continued to rise very slowly from there. Really, from 2000 all the way through 2022, the estimates are all basically the same,” Burge wrote in his analysis.

Nones: Then vs. Now

Those who considered themselves religious “nones,” with zero conscious relationship with God, were initially evenly split when it came to belief in an afterlife. But something changed by the year 2000, when the number of non-religious people who believe in an afterlife shot up past 60%.

This number has remained consistently high since this time, with only a few other factors influencing the trend. Politics did seem to have some influence, with self-described liberals being less likely to be understanding the notion of an afterlife than their conservative counterparts. Educational attainment had a mild influence when controlled for higher educational attainment, which was more likely to lead to a belief in our afterlife.

“Said simply, controlling for these other factors, an educated person was more likely to believe that there was life after death than someone with less education,” Burge explained.

Why Is This Happening?

“I think there’s a good reason for this, by the way. Those non-religious folks in 1973 were much more ‘hard core’ nones. It was difficult to be a secular person in the 1970s – they were less than 5% of the population. You couldn’t be a lukewarm atheist during this time period,” Burge wrote in his analysis. “But as the nones have grown, you get a lot more people in there who aren’t so committed to the cause of secularism. Recall that the 1990s were when the nones really began to rise quickly. A primary cause being an increase in political polarization. That generated a lot of refugees who felt spiritual, but rejected religion. That’s fascinating to me.”

The data comes amid a significant rise in syncretism, particularly amongst Millennials and pastors. The results support the previous research by CRC’s Dr. George Barna, who noted that the rise in syncretism “is another strong piece of evidence that the culture is influencing the American church more than Christian churches are influencing the culture.” All of these recurring studies suggest millions of Millennials are on the brink of a religious breakthrough, one we can share in together.

Arkansas Cuts Out Corruption & Brings Christ To Classrooms

Arkansas Cuts Out Corruption & Brings Christ To Classrooms

Arkansas Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed a slew of bills into law in April, many of which are aimed at reshaping education to cut out potential corruption, while mandating Christ return to our children’s curricula.

Students from grades six through 12 will be taught, without any limitation, the identity of our Creator, God, as viewed by the Founding Fathers. Throughout these teachings, children will learn about the religious and moral beliefs our nation was founded upon.

Some of you may be concerned that this seems like a drastic shift away from the separation of church and state. Did you know that the precedent of “separation of church and state” doesn’t actually exist in any meaningful law?

Thanks to a 1971 ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court, something colloquially called the “Lemon test” created a framework that was later used to remove God from public schools by declaring religious expressions like the Ten Commandments unconstitutional. This marked a turning point away from the faith-based roots of our nation’s education system.

In 2022, the Supreme Court reversed course on the Lemon test, giving Americans the freedom to bring Christ back to our public spaces. We’ll be sure to bring you all the latest on religious freedom news from across the country, as well as myriad ways to take action in your local, state, and federal governance on this issue.

“Scam”: Gen Z Is “Not Participating” In “Paid For” Protests

/

Valerio Pucci / Shutterstock.com

Turning Point founder and CEO Charlie Kirk shared a post on X Wednesday detailing how Gen Z is not participating in the allegedly paid-for protests occurring across the country.

“They were told college was the only way to succeed. LIE,” Kirk posted. “They were told they’d never own a home and like it. LIE. Young men were told they were toxic. LIE. Young women were told to be childless boss babes to be happy. LIE.”

His comments come after several ongoing weeks of what appear to be paid-for protests happening across the country. Most of the protests are aimed at President Donald Trump and DOGE’s Elon Musk, who’ve uncovered huge amounts of normalized government waste and corruption, culminating in most of the major issues we’re facing today. The protests were organized by a group that calls themselves pro-democracy and favors progressive ideologies, but as the American people legally democratically voted to elected Trump and his cabinet, it is still unclear what these people think they’re protesting.

Why Gen Z Doesn’t Care About The Progressive Movements

“They are part of a generation that has been demonized by older generations that sold them out, belittled them, and borrowed off their backs. Their parents and grandparents inherited a rich, powerful America only to hand them a weakened, debt-riddled country, divided over gender, race, class and every other abstraction invented in a university they graduated from with no debt but now costs $75,000 a year plus interest. They were told to downsize the American Dream or abandon it altogether,” Kirk explained in his post.

“Wave after new wave of young people are rejecting the lies of the Boomer left. They’re choosing a rebirth of freedom and opportunity. I see it with my own eyes every week on college campuses across America. The kids are waking up.”

Religious Freedoms In American Classrooms Hit Another Major Milestone In One State

This is an evolving story. Please check back for updates.

Arkansas took one big step closer to mandating the Ten Commandments be displayed in every public school classroom Monday, with the house approving SB 433 in a 71-20 vote.

SB 433 passed through Arkansas’ Senate just under a month ago, and advanced out of the House committee on April 2, according to Word and Way. The majority vote from the Republican-controlled House now sends the bill directly to the desk of Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders to be signed.

Once signed, SB 433 mandates that schools throughout the state display a poster of the Ten Commandments in every classroom and teach the historical significance of the text to Arkansas students. One writer for the Arkansas Times argued that this means “readers in classrooms around the state will soon be asking their teachers what ‘adultery’ means,” which feels fairly harmless given the gender indoctrination happening in millions of other classrooms, particularly given that these words come directly from God.

Separation of Church & State Ended In 2022

In June 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court voted 6-to-3 in favor of high school football coach Joseph Kennedy’s right to pray at the 5-yard line at the end of each game, claimed NPR.

“Respect for religious expressions is indispensable to life in a free and diverse Republic. Here, a government entity sought to punish an individual for engaging in a personal religious observance, based on a mistaken view that it has a duty to suppress religious observances even as it allows comparable secular speech. The Constitution neither mandates nor tolerates that kind of discrimination. Mr. Kennedy is entitled to summary judgment on his religious exercise and free speech claims,” wrote Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch at the time.

The decision overturned a short-held legal precedent regarding the constitutionality of public religious displays. It’s believed the Ten Commandments were a prominent part of American education for almost three centuries prior to 1980, when the prior legal precedent was held against it. The first purely American educational textbook “New England Primer” was published by Benjamin Harris in Boston in 1690, featuring an in-depth section on the Ten Commandments.

In the context of American history, 45 years, from 1980 to 2025, without having the Ten Commandments in our education system doesn’t seem like a very long time, especially when you take into account it was part of our curriculum from at least 1690 to 1980 (that’s 290 years). But ask yourself: how do the last 45 years or so compare to the previous 290?

Trump’s Promises To Protect Election Integrity

Trump’s Promises To Protect Election Integrity

/

Chip Somodevilla / Shutterstock.com

The White House released a fact sheet in March on President Donald Trump’s Executive Order to protect “the integrity of American elections.”

Trump’s order first focuses on his plans to restore trust in American elections by strengthening voter ID verifications, while all-out banning foreign nations from interfering in U.S. elections. States must comply with federal election law in order to receive election-related funds, including the use of “national mail voter registration form[s] that will now require proof of citizenship.”

States will be required to provide a voter-verifiable paper ballot record and “and not using ballots in which the counted vote is contained within a barcode or QR code.” Those states that do not comply will “face prioritized Federal enforcement of election integrity laws and loss of funding given their unwillingness to police fraud.”

Finally, Trump’s Order overturns former President Joe Biden’s E.O. 14019, “which turned Federal agencies into Democratic voter turnout centers.”

Safety & Security

In comparing U.S. elections to other countries, such as Canada, Brazil, India, Germany, Denmark, and even Cuba, the Order notes that there are plenty of practical measures in place globally to allow for free and fair elections, “unmarred by fraud, errors, or suspicion.”

“We’re going to fix our elections so that our elections are going to be honorable and honest and people leave and they know their vote is counted. We are going to have free and fair elections. And ideally, we go to paper ballots, same-day voting, proof of citizenship, very big, and voter ID, very simple,” Trump said in the fact sheet. “We will secure our elections, and they will be secure once and for all.”

Role of the Attorney General:

According to the fact sheet:

– The Attorney General will fully enforce the voter-list maintenance requirements of the
National Voter Registration Act and the Help America Vote Act.
– Given clear Federal law setting a single Election Day deadline, the Attorney General shall
take appropriate action against states that count ballots received after Election Day in
Federal elections. Federal election funding will be conditioned on compliance.
– The Attorney General will prioritize enforcement of laws prohibiting foreign nationals
from contributing to or donating in U.S. elections.
