HALF-FULL REPORT 12/19/25

Welcome to the Merry Christmas HFR FOR 2025!  We have to jump the gun a bit as next Friday will be the day after Christmas, and besides, that will be a day the TTP Team will be with their families, like on Thanksgiving.

So let’s celebrate now, by opening up all the Good News Christmas presents under the tree this week.  There’s lots of them so let’s get started!

This delightful story appeared on the Daily Mail homepage this morning (12/19). The White House is understandably elated:

Kevin Hssett is the President’s National Economic Council Director, while Jackie Kotkiewicz is his Policy Communications Director:

lower-commodity-prices

The new CPI is a double-whammy for the Dems – both their Affordability! campaign and condemnation of Trump’s Tariffs just crashed and burned.

 

And for the Hat Trick – it’s not just the CPI that’s economic good news, it’s this too:

trade-victories
Which means…..

The Democrats, in the minds of the American public, are lower than the Dead Sea,” reports CNN’s data guru Harry Enten:

 

Fox explained the devastating details: Poll Shock: Democrats’ Congressional Approval Sinks To All-Time Low.

“A new national poll is raising alarms for Democrats as the party works to rebound from last year’s election setbacks.

 

Only 18% of voters questioned in a Quinnipiac University survey released on Wednesday (12/17) said they approve of the way Democrats in Congress are handling their job, while 73% percent disapproved.

 

That’s the lowest job approval rating for the Democrats in Congress since the Quinnipiac University Poll began asking this question 16 years ago.”

 

Wow. As that Southern Sheriff warns, “You in a whole heap a trouble, boy.”  Especially when the only things Dems stand for now is TDS, support for Illegal aliens over Americans, trannies and child gender mutilation, and No Voter ID for massive voter fraud.

 

Such as this last night :

 

As the Quinnipiac poll shows, that’s not working out for them so well.  Or, as Scott Jennings puts it: “If I can’t trust you not to put a boy in a teenage girl’s locker room, how will I ever listen to your plan for taxes and the economy? … I will not, because I’ve already concluded you’re a lunatic.”

Another loser issue for the Dems in their being on the side of narco-terrorists despite: Americans Overwhelmingly Support Trump Admin Blowing Drug Boats Out Of Water: Harvard CAPS/Harris poll.

 

Which is why Rubio and Hegseth couldn’t care less about Dem caterwauling.  Barron Trump comments:

Another thing Marco is doing that’s driving Dems bat guano crazy is this:  Trump And Rubio’s New Foreign Aid Model Cuts Out The ‘NGO Industrial Complex’.

That description is only the barest whisper of a hint at the enormity of the NGO scam.  The article is a must-read if only to get a glimpse of the high 6 & 7-figure incomes of NGO execs while the countries being aided get fractions of a penny on the dollar.

 

Now be sitting down.  What do you think are the cumulative assets of US NGOs – not anywhere else, just here.  The cartoon above is a small (very small) clue.  I asked Grok if what I suspected is true.  Grok’s answer:

Yes, it is true. According to the US Federal Reserve’s Z.1 Financial Accounts of the United States (latest release: Q2 2025, published September 11, 2025), the total assets of the nonprofit organizations sector—often referred to interchangeably with NGOs in this context—stood at approximately $14.12 trillion as of Q2 2025.

 

This figure comes directly from the Federal Reserve’s data series on nonprofit organizations’ total assets (including financial and nonfinancial assets, such as real estate, equipment, and investments.)

 

The nonprofit sector in these accounts primarily includes tax-exempt organizations under IRS sections 501(c)(3) through 501(c)(9), such as charities, foundations, universities, hospitals, and similar entities (excluding most religious organizations and very small ones). This aligns with common references to US NGOs/nonprofits.

 

No evidence suggests the figure exceeds $14 trillion significantly in official Fed data, but $14+ trillion is accurate based on the latest available numbers.”

 

$14 TRILLION?? That’s almost half of America’s entire GDP ($30T).  It’s the biggest cookie jar on the planet and here is Marco trying to pull the Dems’ and woke scammers’ hands out of it.

When you see this number, and then see a story on the goal and stakes involved: Trump Dismantles The Charity/NGO Industrial Complex!, your brain begins to spin.  The US NGO Scam is a multi-trillion dollar scandal about to go nuclear.  One thing for sure, Marco has a pair made of tungsten steel just like his boss.

By the way, it’s good to know that not all Dems in Congress are slimy or otherwise reprehensible.  Some of them just have a 2-digit IQ.  They couldn’t find a real job so get elected to Congress by people also with 2-digit IQs.

Here’s Steven Cohen (D-TN, Memphis) to prove the point in attacking ICE: “They’re arresting people simply for the offense of being in the country illegally.”

It’s an ultimate iconic image, Neal Armstrong with the American flag on the Moon, July 20, 1969.  To this day, all the footprints on the Moon are American.  Sadly, America retreated from this heroism in 1972.  Now, President Trump will end that retreat.

 

Yesterday (12/18), he issued this Executive Order: Ensuring American Space Superiority.

“By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered:

 

Section 1.  Purpose.  Superiority in space is a measure of national vision and willpower, and the technologies Americans develop to achieve it contribute substantially to the Nation’s strength, security, and prosperity.  The United States must therefore pursue a space policy that will extend the reach of human discovery, secure the Nation’s vital economic and security interests, unleash commercial development, and lay the foundation for a new space age.

 

Sec. 2.  Policy.  My Administration will focus its space policy on achieving the following priorities:

 

(a)  Leading the world in space exploration and expanding human reach and American presence in space by:

 

(i)    returning Americans to the Moon by 2028 through the Artemis Program, to assert American leadership in space, lay the foundations for lunar economic development, prepare for the journey to Mars, and inspire the next generation of American explorers;

 

(ii)   establishing initial elements of a permanent lunar outpost by 2030 to ensure a sustained American presence in space and enable the next steps in Mars exploration.”

 

America is to be heroic once again.  Thanks to a heroic president, Donald Trump.

************

 

That’s a wrap.  We Americans have so much to be thankful and grateful for this Christmas.  Let the Left and the Woke stew in their anger and resentment, that’s their problem not ours.  We get to be appreciative and joyful in this happy and holy time.

Speaking of appreciation, the Comments of TTPers regarding my son Brandon’s address to the Religious Liberty Commission in A Speech That Made Me Cry yesterday mean a great deal to him.  Merry Christmas to you all.
