Staff Reports
President-elect Donald Trump is gearing up to deliver on his campaign promises, and there’s a massive legislative package on the horizon that’s expected to tackle border security, energy production, and taxes. While many political analysts are busy muttering into their lattes about the implications of this plan, Trump’s supporters are gearing up for a victory lap—one that may include a wall and zero taxes on tips.
One of Trump’s boldest promises was to initiate mass deportations of illegal immigrants on day one. This job will fall on the shoulders of Tom Homan, the newly appointed Border Czar. Homan has made it clear that if someone is in the country illegally, they should not expect to get a free pass. It seems Homan is ready to turn every illegal entry into a legal exit, and the message is loud and clear: violating the law has consequences.

And let’s not forget about the wall—the pièce de résistance of Trump’s first campaign. While construction during his previous term saw some limited progress, a full-fledged border barrier that stretches from sea to shining sea has yet to be completed. Democrats, in their typical fashion, have been throwing bureaucratic roadblocks in Trump’s way, even auctioning off border materials like they’re selling off furniture at a yard sale. But rest assured, Trump is determined to revive this promise and build that wall, while sending a clear message that he isn’t backing down.
As for energy production, Trump is reiterating his plan to put the pedal to the metal in domestic drilling. With energy prices skyrocketing under the current administration, he asserts that increased production will lead to lower costs for everyday Americans. It’s a classic case of “drill, baby, drill,” which sounds a lot better than the “wait, baby, wait” mantra that seems to have permeated recent policy discussions. When energy costs go down, it’s a win for everyone—not just consumers but also businesses that will benefit from reduced operational expenses.
In the realm of taxes, Trump has some exciting news for tipping Americans. He’s advocating for no taxes on gratuities, a move that has struck a chord with workers in the service industry. Nevada’s swing state turned Republican in November, likely due to Trump’s savvy engagement with this demographic. Now, with a mega-bill in the works, this no-tax-on-tips policy is poised to bolster the wallets of service workers everywhere.
Lastly, under Trump’s watch, there are plans to revisit tax policy changes that would benefit hard-hit residents in high-tax states. This includes ensuring that the SALT deduction cap is lifted while making the Trump Tax Cuts permanent. The aim is simple: keep more money in the hands of hardworking Americans, many of whom are fed up with overreaching state taxes. And amid talks of cutting taxes on overtime pay and Social Security benefits, it appears Trump is leaving no stone unturned in his quest to put money back where it belongs—in the pockets of American families.
The potential revival of these promises is a comforting thought for conservatives who view the current state of affairs as an alarming detour from the values of fiscal responsibility and national integrity. It seems that, come the next Congress, America may just be on the brink of a major shift back toward policy decisions that prioritize the well-being of its own citizens.
