NONE of these bills are the bills We The People want passed! We are still waiting for President Trump's EOs on things like English as our official National language, election integrity, restoring Freedom of Speech, Merit over DEI, Securing our borders, reducing the size of the Federal workforce, and returning to biological reality, to name a few.
Personally, I do not see how effective AI will be in the classroom for a couple reasons. First, classrooms do not have many computers in academic classrooms. Many schools have computer labs available for teachers to "check out" but there are not enough of these labs for every classroom to use. Second, the reading and comprehension levels of students are dismal. How can you expect students to use AI when they cannot understand what they attempt to read?
On December 11, 2025, President Trump signed the EOEnsuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligencewith a stated purpose of creating a national standard framework while ensuring children are protected, censorship is prevented, copyrights are respected, and communities are safeguarded. As things stand now, there are thousands of bills in the 50 states (with the majority in California, Illinois, and New York) that are discordant. The goal is to create a minimally burdensome national standard for AI development.
Section 2 states the policy of the US is to sustain and enhance US global AI dominance.
Section 3 tasks the US AG to establish an AI Litigation Task Force whose sole job will be to challenge State AI laws inconsistent with this EO within 30 days.
Section 4 orders the Secretary of Commerce to publish an evaluation of State AI laws identifying the most onerous to be referred to Section 2's Task Force within 90 days. The goal is to identify laws requiring AI models to alter truthful outputs, compel AI developers or deployers to disclose info in a manner that would violate the 1st Amendment, or violate any other provision of the US Constitution. In addition, State laws that promote AI innovation consistent with this EO will also be identified.
Section 5 ordering that within 90 days, States with AI laws identified as onerous in Section 4 be ineligible for Federal funds under the Broadband Equity Access and Deployment Program. Executive departments and agencies are encouraged to assess their discretionary grant programs to ensure compliance with this EO.
Section 6 orders the Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission to initiate a proceeding to determine whether to adopt a Federal reporting and disclosure standard for AI models that preempts conflicting State laws within 90 days.
Section 7 orders the Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission to issue a policy statement on unfair and deceptive acts or practices regarding AI models within 90 days.
Section 8 orders the Special Advisor for AI and Crypto and the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology to jointly prepare a legislative recommendation to establish a Federal policy framework for AI that preempts State AI laws that conflict with this EO. However, this framework will not preempt lawful State AI laws relating to child safety protections; AI compute and data center infrastructure, or other than generally applicable permitting reforms; State government procurement and use of AI; and other topics as shall be determined.
On December 11, 2025, President Trump signed EOProtecting American Investors from Foreign-Owned and Politically-Motivated Proxy Advisors first explains that there are 2 foreign-owned proxy advisors (Institutional Share Holder Services Inc., and Glass, Lewis & Co., LLC) who are shaping policies and priorities of America's largest companies through the shareholder voting process. These 2 firms control more than 90% of the proxy advisor market. This means they influence corporate governance matters. They also affect 401(k)s, IRAs, and other retirement investment programs. Proxy advisors delve into politically motivated agendas through their votes. There are also concerns about conflicts of interests between these 2 companies and their home countries vs American interests.
Section 2 charges the Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to review all rules, regulations, guidance, bulletins, and memoranda that govern proxy advisors to insure they comply with this order and are consistent with APA. The SEC Chairman is tasked to monitor closely proxy advisors' proxy voting recommendations.
Section 3 orders the Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to work in consultation with the US AG to review State antitrust investigations into proxy advisors where the proxy advisors conspire or collude (explicitly or implicitly) to diminish the value of consumer investments (including pensions and retirement accounts); fail to disclose conflicts of interest; provide misleading or inaccurate info; undermine the ability of consumers to make informed choices; or otherwise engage in conduct violating antitrust laws.
Section 4 tasks the Secretary of Labor to revise regulations and guidance regarding fiduciary status of those who manage or advise on pensions and retirement plans. The Secretary of Labor is ordered to take action to strengthen fiduciary standards for pension and retirement plans covered under ERISA.
On December 11, 2025, the White House published the articleTrump Tariffs Work: Trade Deficit Plummets to Five-Year Lowaccording to Bloomberg News. US exports are up 6%, real exports grew in 3rd quarter adding about 1% to real GDPO growth. President Trump's tariff trade policies are leveling the global markets, bringing investments from scores of companies, and positioning the US in a global leadership role for jobs of the future.

In the lawsuit Abrego Garcia v. Noem docket # 8:25-cv-02780 filed in District court D Maryland on August 25, 2025 (discussed in my August 27, 2025 ANP Article) about the detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda, Judge Paula Xinis ORDERED on December 11, 2025:
Petitioner Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcias Petition for habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 2241 at ECF No. 1 is hereby GRANTED;
Respondents SHALL release Abrego Garcia from ICE custody immediately;
Respondents SHALL notify Abrego Garcias counsel of the exact time and location of his release no fewer than four hours prior to releasing him, and notify the Court of the status of Abrego Garcias release by email to chambers no later than 5:00 p.m. today, Thursday, December 11, 2025;

Respondents SHALL immediately transmit this Order and the accompanying Memorandum Opinion to all relevant officers, agents, and employees under their control and who are involved in this matter and the pending criminal case, United States v. Abrego Garcia, No. 3:25-CR-00115-1 (M.D. Tenn.);
Within a week of the date of this Order, by 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, December 18, 2025, the parties SHALL submit a joint status report as to the parties position regarding resolution of Respondents pending motion to dissolve at ECF No. 72; and

The lawsuitUnited States v. Garcia docket # 3:25-cr-00115 filed in District Court M D Tennessee on May 21, 2025 about the indictment of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to unseal the US government's indictment was ordered unsealed on June 6, 2025. The Grand Jury Charged(worth the read to see what he's actually being charged with):
Count 1 Conspiracy to Transport Aliens
Count 2 Unlawful transportation of undocumented aliens
The Forfeiture Allegation states:
1. The allegations contained in this Indictment are re-alleged and incorporated by reference as if fully set forth in support of this forfeiture.
2. Upon conviction of Counts 1 or 2, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia shall forfeit to the United States of America, pursuant to Title 8, USC 1324(b) and Title 18, USC 981(d):
(A) Any conveyance, including any vessel, vehicle, or aircraft, that was being used in the commission of a violation of Count 1 or 2;
(B) the gross proceeds of such violation; and
(C) any property traceable to such conveyance or proceeds.
For some reason, most of the documents to docket # 3:25-cr-00115 have been ordered to be sealed. The most recent action in the case was on December 11, 2025 when District Judge Waverly D Crenshaw Jr ordered the sealed Ex Parte transcript remain sealed.
So I take it that they don't want us to know what a bad actor this "Maryland father" is since he is so bad they have to seal just about all the records for this case in Tennessee but the activist Maryland judge says don't pay that any attention, release him from ICE detention and let him stay in the US. On top of that, the trial in Tennessee is no where near completion; but the Maryland activist judge sees fit to order the release of Garcia from ICE custody.
Courts hold parole officers accountable when the parolee re-offends. I think the rules should be modified to add holding judges who release these criminals accountable for the actions of the released person as well, whether or not the person is released on parole, with bail, or 'just because'.
There is something tremendously wrong with the justice system in general and in loony left states in particular. The vast majority of these lawsuits against the Trump Administration originate in the District of Columbia, followed closely by California, Maryland, New York, Rhode Island, and Washington State. Other states have 2 or 3 cases, nothing like the sheer amount of the above listed states.
Those are some of the exact words used by Googles censors, aka 'Orwelliancontent police,' in describing many of our controversial stories.Stories later proven to be truthful and light years ahead of the mainstream media. But because we reported those 'inconvenient truths' they're trying to bankrupt ANP.
