FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WASHINGTON, DC—JULY 18, 2025—U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Secretary of State Marco Rubio today issued a Joint Statement of formal rejection by the United States of the 2024 International Heath Regulations (IHR) Amendments by the World Health Organization (WHO).
The amended IHR would give the WHO the ability to order global lockdowns, travel restrictions, or any other measures it sees fit to respond to nebulous “potential public health risks.” These regulations are set to become binding if not rejected by July 19, 2025, regardless of the United States’ withdrawal from the WHO.
“The proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations open the door to the kind of narrative management, propaganda, and censorship that we saw during the COVID pandemic,” Secretary Kennedy said. “The United States can cooperate with other nations without jeopardizing our civil liberties, without undermining our Constitution, and without ceding away America’s treasured sovereignty.”

Big Tax Breaks Ahead for Seniors Thanks to One Big Beautiful Bill — Here’s What You Need to Know
July 14, 2025
Americans are set to see meaningful tax relief starting in 2025, thanks to a sweeping new law the “One Big Beautiful Bill.” This legislation delivers real savings for retirees and working seniors alike and putting more money back in your pocket.
Here’s what AMAC members need to know about what’s in the law, how to claim these deductions, and who qualifies.
- Higher Standard Deduction
One of the most significant changes in 2025 is the higher standard deduction, which applies to all taxpayers who don’t itemize.
- For single filers, the standard deduction increases to $15,750.
- For married couples filing jointly, it rises to $31,500.
You don’t need to do anything special to claim it — simply choose the standard deduction when you file your federal return, and the new amount will automatically apply.
2. Extra Deductions for Seniors
If you’re 65 or older by the end of 2025, you’ll also qualify for an additional senior deduction — on top of the standard one.
- Single filers 65+ get an extra $2,000.
- Married couples where both spouses are aged 65+ get $1,600 each, or $3,200 total.
Again, this is automatic. Just make sure you (or your tax preparer) indicate your age on your return.
3. Special $6,000 Deduction for Seniors with Modest Incomes
In addition to the standard and senior deductions, the new law provides a temporary $6,000 deduction specifically for Americans age 65 and older with modest incomes.
Who qualifies?
- This deduction is designed for seniors whose adjusted gross income (AGI) falls below a certain threshold.
- The exact income limits will be finalized before the 2025 tax season, but it is expected to cover a large share of middle- and lower-income retirees — especially those who rely mostly on Social Security and modest retirement savings.
How to claim it?
- Unlike the standard and senior deductions, this one may require a separate line on your tax form.
- Updated IRS forms and instructions are expected to make this clear, and AMAC will provide guidance as soon as those details are released.
- If you use tax software or a preparer, they’ll help ensure you don’t miss it.
- Other Tax-Friendly Changes
The law also includes additional ways for Americans — including seniors — to save at tax time:
- Tips and overtime pay for most Americans are now tax-deductible at the Federal level.
- Auto loan interest is deductible again.
- The cap on state and local tax (SALT) deductions jumps to $40,000 for households earning under $500,000.
These provisions are especially helpful for older adults who still work part-time, support their families, or live in states with high taxes.

Taxpayer-Funded Nightmare: Whistleblowers Expose Massive Child Sex Trafficking Pipeline Under Biden Admin
By Liz Peek Staff July 11,2025
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reportedly encountered 448,000 unaccompanied minors between the years 2019 to 2023 who were relocated within the United States. Insiders and whistleblowers under President Joe Biden’s administration have described a disturbing system in which many of these children have been left vulnerable to sexual exploitation and trafficking due to lax border and immigration policies, according to the New York Post.
Children, some younger than five years old, arrived with only phone numbers written on their arms or clothing. Criminal organizations have taken advantage of the situation, using the chaos at the border to traffic children across the country with minimal oversight.
According to The Post, “Much of it was a scam, perpetrated by cartels who saw Biden’s lax border policies — which saw 8 million attempt to cross into the US during his time in office, per official figures — as an opportunity. The smugglers would drop off kids at the border, Customs and Border Protection couldn’t do anything with them, they have to get them to the Office of Refugee Resettlement within 72 hours.”
“Once they get there, non-government contractors [private companies] look at the paperwork and say, ‘This is their sponsor, this is where they are to be delivered,’” Morgan Lerette, a former Blackwater contractor and Army intelligence officer explained.
“But they weren’t confirming that it was a real person, family, or addresses that was given — some addresses were storage units or strip clubs…The officers were literally handing the kids right back off to the other side of the smuggling rings in the US,” he alleged.

Trump Job Numbers Expose How Biden Cooked the Books
By Sarah Katherine Sisk July 10, 2025
A striking pattern has emerged in the first few months of President Donald Trump’s second term: job numbers are being revised upward – a quiet but telling reversal from the trends we saw under President Joe Biden, whose administration consistently saw job numbers revised downward after initial release.
The past two months are indicative of this trend. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) initially reported 139,000 new jobs in May. That number was later bumped up to 144,000, an increase of 5,000. April’s total was also revised upward by 11,000 to 158,000. With June’s gain of 147,000 jobs, the three-month average now sits at a steady 150,000.
While these aren’t eye-popping figures, the direction of the revisions tells an important story – particularly when compared to what we saw under President Joe Biden.
In the build-up to Biden’s re-election bid, the initial jobs numbers were overstated by an astonishing amount. For 10 straight months in 2023, BLS revised its job creation estimates downward. In June 2023, for example, the government originally reported 209,000 new jobs. That figure was later cut nearly in half, to 105,000.
Overall, from March 2023 to March 2024, BLS overstated job growth by a jaw-dropping 818,000 – an average of more than 68,000 jobs per month. For context, that’s five times the agency’s typical margin of error.
That discrepancy reeks of corruption – rewriting the story after it’s already dominated the news. Those errors were only acknowledged months later, long after they had already shaped headlines and campaign speeches.
So why does this matter?
Because that first jobs number is the one that matters most. It’s the figure the corporate press runs with. It makes the headlines. It shapes public opinion. It drives market expectations and is baked into campaign messaging within hours. The BLS may quietly post a revision weeks later, but by then, the political spin cycle has moved on. Very few outlets ever update their coverage or correct the narrative.

VIDEO – The Secretary of Energy AND ARTICLE
Trump’s Energy Department warns Americans could face 800 hours of blackouts by 2030
Trump energy secretary calls current path ‘unstable and dangerous’ as AI data centers increase electricity demand
July 7, 2025 By Eric Revell FOXBusiness
The Trump administration’s Department of Energy (DOE) on Monday released a report that found currently scheduled retirements of
energy-generating facilities coupled with delays in bringing new power sources online could lead to a rise in blackouts by the end of this decade.
DOE’s report found that with about 104 gigawatts of energy-generating capacity scheduled to be retired by 2030, power outages could see a significant rise if that capacity isn’t replaced in a timely manner. It is estimated that annual outage hours could rise from single digits today to over 800 hours per year.
The agency noted that while 104 GW of power generation is scheduled to be retired, it is scheduled to be replaced by 209 GW of new capacity by 2030 — though only 22 GW of that comes from firm baseload generation sources. It added that even with the assumption of no retirements, the risk of outages in some areas rises more than 3-fold.
“This report affirms what we already know: The United States cannot afford to continue down the unstable and dangerous path of energy subtraction previous leaders pursued, forcing the closure of baseload power sources like coal and natural gas,” Secretary Chris Wright said in a statement.

Wrong and more wrong: How America’s ‘experts’ burned their last shreds of credibility
By Victor Davis Hanson July 5, 2025
From the economy to the border to climate and beyond, the degreed classes are repeatedly proven wrong — yet arrogantly refuse to learn from their past flawed predictions, Victor Davis Hanson writes.Getty Images
The first six months of the Trump administration have not been kind to the experts and the degree-holding classes.
Almost daily during the tariff hysterias of March, we were told by university economists and most of the PhDs employed in investment and finance that the United States was headed toward a downward, if not recessionary, spiral.
Most economists lectured that trade deficits did not really matter.
Or they insisted that the cures to reduce them were worse than the $1.1 trillion deficit itself.
They reminded us that free, rather than fair, trade alone ensured prosperity.
So, the result of Trump’s foolhardy tariff talk would be an impending recession.
America would soon suffer rising joblessness, inflation — or rather a return to stagflation — and likely little, if any, increase in tariff revenue as trade volume declined.
Instead, recent data show increases in tariff revenue.
Personal real income and savings were up.
Job creation exceeded prognoses.
There was no surge in inflation.
The supposedly “crashed” stock market reached historic highs.
Common-sense Americans might not have been surprised: The prior stock market frenzy was predicated on what was, in theory, supposed to have happened rather than what was likely to occur.
After all, if tariffs were so toxic and surpluses irrelevant, why did our affluent European and Asian trading rivals insist on both surpluses and protective tariffs?
Most Americans recalled that the mere threat of tariffs and Trump’s jawboning had led to several trillion dollars in promised foreign investment and at least some plans to relocate manufacturing and assembly back to the United States.
Would that change in direction not lead to business optimism and eventually more jobs?
Would countries purposely running up huge surpluses through asymmetrical trade practices not have far more to lose in negotiations than those suffering gargantuan deficits?
Were Trump’s art-of-the-deal threats of prohibitive tariffs not mere starting points in negotiations that would eventually lead to likely agreements more favorable to the United States than in the past, and moderate rather than punitive tariffs?
Would not the value of the huge American consumer market mean that our trade partners, who were racking up substantial surpluses, would agree they could afford modest tariffs and trim their substantial profit margins rather than suicidally price themselves out of a lucrative market entirely?
Illegal immigration: wrong again
Economists and bureaucrats were equally wrong on the border.
We were told for four years that only “comprehensive immigration reform” would stop illegal immigration.
Most Americans differed: They knew firsthand we had more than enough immigration laws, but had elected as President Joe Biden, who deliberately destroyed borders and had no intention of enforcing existing laws.

“People Should Be Preparing, This Is So Serious | Victor Davis Hanson”
In this video, Victor Davis Hanson exposes the left’s contradictions in their attacks on Donald Trump and his trade policies. In this video, Hanson dives deep into how progressive critics consistently misrepresent Trump’s use of tariffs, portraying them as reckless or harmful without acknowledging their strategic purpose. He argues that the left’s opposition isn’t based on economic facts, but on a broader ideological rejection of Trump’s America-first agenda. Hanson contends that Trump’s presidency didn’t just disrupt global trade norms—it exposed how deeply entrenched and emotionally charged the left’s narrative has become. Ultimately, this video unpacks how Trump’s unorthodox methods—and the left’s fierce reaction to them—shine a light on the deeper political and cultural divide in America.

Victor Davis Hanson: Why Trump’s Iran Strike Worked
The surviving command may wish to redirect public ire from themselves onto the theocrats. That may be the only way to end this evil regime and the ruin it has brought everything it has touched.
June 23, 2025
It is difficult to imagine any other Republican or Democratic president taking such a risk to hit Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. The Middle East is understandably viewed as the graveyard of presidential misadventures, where an administration’s good polls crash and sometimes do not revive.
Jimmy Carter’s reelection hopes blew up after the failed 1980 rescue mission. Iran-Contra almost sabotaged Ronald Reagan. Even the successful 1991 Gulf War ended poorly with the survival of Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, the ensuing endless “no fly zones”—and a repudiated George H.W. Bush in 1992.
George W. Bush lost control of his presidency with the devolution of the 2003 Iraq War. Joe Biden’s polls never recovered from the skedaddle from Kabul, Afghanistan.
But President Donald Trump’s limited and defined agenda—and unpredictability—was a different operation and may avoid such a fate.
His administration has likely destroyed most of the Iran nuclear infrastructure at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. So far, the only Iranian response seems to have been a half-hearted attempt to strike a US base in Qatar. All signs point to that being a limited and largely symbolic retaliation: Tehran even gave Qatar advance notice of the attack and the base had been evacuated.
The initial success of Trump’s strike on Iran can be appreciated by the poverty of both foreign and domestic criticism. The American left claimed the bombing was unnecessary and without provocation. More likely it was long overdue given the 1979 storming of the U.S. embassy in Tehran, Iran; the mass-murdering of Americans at the Beirut embassy and Marine Corps barracks in 1983; the blowing up of thousands of Americans in Iraq; and the plans to assassinate Trump. In short, the Iranian theocracy has for nearly half a century waged a one-sided war against America, without much retaliation—until now.
Indeed, the terrorist Iranian regime alone largely explains why there are still so many American bases in Syria, Iraq, and the Gulf, even after the erosion of al-Qaeda and ISIS capabilities.
