On April 14, 2026, the White House published the release President Trump’s Powerful Leadership Highlights American Strength as Energy Dominance Delivers Global Stability describing how the US Naval blockade in the Straight of Hormuz has redirected empty tankers to US soil to fill up with US energy exports. There are currently 103 empty tanker vessels headed to the US, with 54 of them capable of carrying about 2 million barrels each. Of these, 20 are flying under European flags and another 20 are flying under Asian flags.
This shift has shattered US production records to the point the US is producing more oil that Saudi Arabia and Russia combined and more natural gas than Russia, Iran, and China combined. The US is now the undisputed global energy leader (at least until the straight reopens). The release concludes:
President Trump’s energy dominance agenda is more than policy; it is American strength. While adversaries weaponize energy, America delivers it.
The numbers above have been updated by RealAmericasVoice to reflect now 121 empty oil tankers of which 68 are capable of carrying about 2 million barrels each as shown in the video below.
On April 14, 2026, the White House published the release Bigger Refunds, Job Growth: Working Families Tax Cuts Are Transforming Tax Season announcing that Americans are seeing greater tax refunds due to Trump's OBBB. The release cites families and workers who have seen increases in their tax refunds (including service workers who rely on tips, new vehicle purchasers, and seniors). I have to admit that I thought the OBBB would not have an effect on my return. I was wrong. Because of the Senior deduction, I received a refund of more than twice what I have received in prior years. The release also states that small businesses are benefitting, enabling them to expand their businesses and hire more workers. The release concludes:
President Trump’s Working Families Tax Cuts are delivering bigger refunds, stronger families, and a more prosperous America. This is what putting American families first looks like.
On April 14, 2026, Day 59 of the Democrat's Partial Federal Government Shutdown, both the House and the Senate were back in session; however, NOTHING was done to end the Democrat's Partial Federal Government Shutdown (i.e., lack of funding for DHS over Democrat's desire to keep illegal aliens within the United States, draining our social service resources and voting in our elections). So what did they do instead?
On April 13, 2026, the Senate voted 53:46 to pass PN787-3 — John Thomas Shepherd — The Judiciary (PN stands for Presidential Nomination) and voted 53:47 to pass PN787-5 — Christopher R.

Plaintiffs’ Motion to Dissolve the Preliminary Injunction (Dkt. 276) is GRANTED.
The Court’s January 16, 2026 Preliminary Injunction (Dkt. 85) is DISSOLVED as moot.
Basically, because the operation was short-term and has already ended, the lawsuit became moot. Should another operation be conducted, they would have to file all over again.

Those are some of the exact words used by Google’s censors, aka 'Orwellian content 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.
