Trump Announces $2,000 'Tariff Dividend' To Be Paid To Most Americans

President Donald Trump on Sunday announced that most Americans would receive a dividend payment of "at least" $2,000 - paid out of US tariff revenues.

"A dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone," Trump posted on Truth Social, adding that tariffs have brought in "trillions of dollars," and that 401(k) accounts are the "Highest EVER." He also claimed that the tariffs had caused "No inflation."

"People that are against Tariffs are FOOLS!" he continued.

The Treasury Department said in September that it had collected more than $195 billion from tariffs in 2025, while Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says he expects the US to collect $500 billion or more in tariff revenue annually.

On Sunday morning, Bessent told ABC's "This Week" that the administration's goal with the tariffs was to "rebalance trade" rather than simply take in revenue.

But wait!

Bessent also suggested that the $2,000 dividend could come in several forms - between tax decreases, no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, or other deductions.

Bessent: The $2,000 dividend could come in in lots of forms. It could be just the tax decreases that we are seeing in the President's agenda— no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on social security, deductibility of older loans— those are substantial deductions.

“DO NOT ANSWER THAT!” – Fulton County Board of Elections Chair LOSES IT When Member Asks “Do We Have the 2020 Ballots?”

Adams: I have a Follow up question. Do we have the 2020 ballots, Miss Williams?

Allen: Miss Williams, Do not answer that. That is a matter that is currently, I believe, in litigation as well. And Ms. Adams, you well know that as well.

Adams: It is not in litigation. I’m asking if we have the ballots from 2020. I’m a board member. I am allowed to ask a question about documents from 2020. Do we have the ballots?

Williams: As you’ve been told several times, the ballots are in the possession of the Clerk of Superior Court. They are physically in the Clerk of Superior Court warehouse and secured in that location. They have been there for five years.

Adams: Okay, the ballots and the records from that election?

Williams: Correct. For the past five years they have been in the Clerk of Superior Court’s posession.

Adams: Okay, I had been told, actually, earlier, that they were in our warehouse.

Williams: Nobody told you that. They are in the clerk’s posession.

Allen: Well, wait a minute. Let’s not debate that. You asked the question. She did give the answer. And I think the public does know that this matter is before— I believe in Fulton County Superior Court, this matter sitting there right now, and I believe there will be a ruling soon. I mean, I’m presuming, since it’s been there.

Adams: Well, I do want to go on the record that, I think with this letter from the DOJ that we should comply and just want to go on the record that I am not fighting it at all. I think that with all the questions we need to, we need to comply. We need to get all of the questions stopped. If everything’s right, they’ll just say everything’s right, and it’ll be great, but I just want to be on the record that I’m not obstructing anything from the SEB or the Department of Justice.

Polish MPs reject push to outlaw glorification of Ukrainian Nazi collaborators

President Karol Nawrocki sought to ban the promotion of groups that massacred Polish civilians during World War II

The Polish parliament has rejected a bill proposed by President Karol Nawrocki that sought to criminalize the public glorification of Ukrainian nationalist movements that collaborated with Nazi Germany during World War II.

In August, Nawrocki vetoed a bill on benefits for Ukrainian refugees, arguing that the measure gave them “excessive privileges” and should be tied to employment and tax contributions.

The president’s alternative proposal also aimed to introduce tougher penalties for illegal border crossings and tighten rules for acquiring Polish citizenship. Other amendments would have expanded Article 256 of Poland’s Penal Code, which prohibits the promotion of totalitarian ideologies, to include the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA).

However, parliament later adopted a similar act limiting assistance to Ukrainian citizens – without Nawrocki’s harshest provisions – and lawmakers filed a motion to reject the duplicate.

On Friday, the lower house of parliament, the Sejm, voted 244-198, with 3 abstentions, to dismiss the presidential draft, RMF24 radio reported.

Warsaw and Kiev have long been divided over the legacy of Ukrainian nationalists during WWII and their veneration in modern Ukraine.

Dems Send Hunter Biden’s Father To Lecture Americans On Trump ‘Profiting’ From Presidency

Former President Joe Biden sent BS-meters across the country spinning out of control when he complained during a recent appearance that President Donald Trump and his family were making unprecedented profits off his time in the Oval Office.

Biden, speaking to Democrats at a gala in Omaha, Nebraska, reflected on Tuesday’s wins for the party and jabbed at Trump at every opportunity. In typical Biden fashion, he rambled from topic to topic with his tone shifting often enough — from barely above a whisper to a shout — that even The New York Times commented on it. “I just want you to know, you work for us, Mr. President. We don’t work for you,” he scolded at one point.

But at another point during the event, Biden questioned the audience directly, asking whether they had ever seen another president profit so much from the office he held.

The entire US economy right now is just 7 companies playing keep-away with the same pile of money.

Without the financial circle jerk of these 7 AI (Magnificent 7) companies, the US Economy would “officially” be in serious recession. The Stock market would be much, much lower. We are in a major league AI-driven ponzi scheme. And the America economy GDP growth is now reliant on this circle jerk and on a technology that will eventually put at least 50 % of the population out of a job as well as huge deficit spending by the US government.

12 million views, presumably for the comments on this truthfully frightening statement.

Dutch court upholds arms exports to Israel despite acknowledging ‘grave risk’ of genocide

European nations remain the biggest buyers of Israeli weapons, purchasing over $8 billion last year despite publicly condemning Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza

A Dutch appeals court on 6 November confirmed the dismissal of a case filed by pro-Palestinian organizations demanding that the Netherlands end arms exports to Israel and cease trade with Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories.

In its written judgment, the court said it was not within the judiciary’s authority to dictate such measures, stating that the decision lies with the government.

The plaintiffs argued that as a signatory to the 1948 Genocide Convention, the Dutch state is obliged to take all available steps to prevent genocide, citing Israel’s ongoing mass killing of civilians in Gaza.

The court agreed that the Netherlands holds that legal obligation and acknowledged “a grave risk” that Israel is committing genocide.

However, the judges maintained that the government already evaluates the risk of human rights abuses before approving military exports and noted that some applications have been denied.

The court also upheld an earlier ruling from December last year that sided with the Dutch state, which claimed it had taken sufficient precautions and halted certain shipments.

The pro-Palestine groups had alleged that Dutch companies supplied Israel with radar systems, F-16 components, warship equipment, police dogs, surveillance cameras, and software.

The government countered that it has stopped most arms exports to Israel and now only authorizes deliveries of parts used in defensive systems such as the Iron Dome.

Israel has rejected all accusations of genocide, despite a UN inquiry officially announcing it in mid-September, insisting its Gaza campaign targets Hamas.

The appeals court concluded that the pro-Palestine organizations failed to demonstrate that the state systematically neglects its obligations when assessing export risks and therefore could not justify a blanket ban on arms or dual-use items.

Despite their public condemnations of Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, European nations remain the largest buyers of Israeli-made weapons, purchasing over $8 billion worth last year, according to Bloomberg.

Demand is projected to grow further as NATO members prepare to raise defense spending to five percent of GDP by 2035.

The move is heavily dependent on Israel’s deeply integrated defense industries, including Elbit Systems, Rafael, and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI).

While some European states, such as Germany, Spain, and the Netherlands, have introduced limited restrictions – from banning specific weapons sales to blocking settlement goods – the continent’s military reliance on Israeli technology continues to deepen.

In October, Germany approved arms sales to Israel worth at least $2.9 million despite an export ban on weapons that could be used in Gaza.

The German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs claimed that shipments consisted of “other military goods” and did not include weapons of war.

Western militaries can't afford to boycott IDF's battle-tested Gaza tactics

A military boycott of Israel will not happen because the IDF’s hard-earned lessons from Gaza are indispensable for Western countries.

Calls to boycott Israel, including sweeping demands to sever defense ties, have grown louder since the Gaza war.

The slogans are simple, but modern warfare is not.

Whatever the optics, a military boycott of Israel is not going to happen because the IDF’s hard-earned lessons from Gaza should become indispensable to Western planners preparing for the next urban fight.

Militaries value results over rhetoric, and Gaza has been a live laboratory of what works and what fails in high-intensity urban combat.

Lessons learned

Start with Israel’s speed of learning. The IDF did not enter Gaza with a perfect plan; it transformed in contact, using a multi-layered lessons system to capture frontline improvisations and turn them into standard practice at a pace few Western militaries can currently match.

Every division runs its own “lessons learned” cell, mirrored in the branches, and junior leaders were empowered to innovate and see those adaptations disseminated force-wide. That cultural permission to change fast was decisive. When a single RPG killed 11 soldiers in a stalled vehicle, the IDF paused operations for 24 hours, pushed the lesson across multiple brigades, and rewrote tactics immediately.

That kind of institutional agility is exactly what NATO armies know they must emulate in the next city fight. Gaza also rewired combined arms.

Active protection systems (APS) on Israeli tanks defeated long-range anti-tank missiles, shifting the main threat to close attack; infantry moved into a tight 100-meter cordon around armor, creating a compact, mutually protective bubble that made the whole team harder to kill.

Layer in drones: Platoons using quadcopters for rooftop surveillance and precision drops turned every small unit into a mini sensor shooter network, while jamming and drone fratricide forced better airspace deconfliction and counter-drone measures at the lowest echelons. Those realities will shape Western procurement and training in the future.

Ex-Trump Ambassador to Israel David Friedman Named NSO Chairman, as Spyware Firm Shifts to U.S. Ownership

Move comes after months of failed lobbying to lift U.S. sanctions ■ NSO's founders no longer hold any stake in the company ■ Lawyer linked to Israeli minister, Shin Bet chief appointed director

NSO Group announced on Sunday that David Friedman, who served as U.S. Ambassador to Israel during the first Trump administration, has agreed to become executive chairman of the embattled spyware firm, as a group of American investors assumes full ownership.

The appointment marks the end of an era for the Israeli offensive cyber company: NSO's three founders – Shalev Hulio, Omri Lavie, and Niv Karmi – no longer hold any stake in the company that the latter two built into one of the most controversial Israeli firms to emerge in the last two decades, transforming it into a symbol of Israel's offensive cyber industry and Netanyahu's use of defense exports in the service of diplomacy.

Until this month, Lavie still served as chairman after taking it upon himself to try to rehabilitate the company, dissolving his historic partnership with Hulio, who has since become active in the defensive cyber sector through a successful company called Dream Security.

The NSO announcement comes after years of attempts by lobbyists and Israeli figures to persuade American officials, and in recent months the Trump administration, to lift the sanctions imposed by the previous administration on the firm as part of its attempt to reign in the global spyware industry.

As Haaretz revealed, the contacts included outreach to Jared Kushner, senior officials connected to the Abraham Accords, and even direct approaches from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office. All these efforts bore no fruit. Now, sources involved in the matter say, the company has concluded that if it wants to succeed in operating again in the U.S., it must lead a transformation: new management and new ownership.

The American sanctions, alongside heavy legal costs in legal battles with Meta and Apple, put a massive financial strain on the company, which serves clients across the globe, including in the EU, but has accumulated a growing debt. Market changes in the cyber industry, such as the enormous costs required to maintain the vulnerabilities that enable spyware like Pegasus to successfully hack into devices, have increased, and there were concerns that the company would not be able to withstand the pressure much longer.

The debt acquisition by a new and unknown group of investors is a sign of change and led to Lavie's ouster and eventually the appointment of Friedman. Sources at the company note that additional appointments are expected.

"The company's most important asset is you – the employees of NSO," Friedman told company employees, according to NSO's press release, testimony to an attempt to project business-as-usual and stability.

"The researchers and engineers of NSO belong to the outstanding group of Israeli high-tech," said Friedman, a Jerusalem resident who holds American citizenship. In the past, he raised funds for Israeli settlements and is considered pro-settlement, even though he does not live on one at the moment.

He emphasized in his statement that the company works to create a "safer" world. According to him, NSO's technologies have been vital in preventing terror attacks and serious crime worldwide.
