Good morning kids. As you can see from the links in the Politics section and in going over the past weeks even as far back as when President Trump was sworn in, it certainly looks as if the volume and frequency of toxic waste gushing forth from the open sewer that is Jasmine Crockett probably would provide fodder fo revery day for weeks on end. But as CBD and I noted on the latest episode of the podcast linked here and in the sidebar, why bother?
Disgusting as she is, the more that average Americans see and hear what she has to say, along with the garden variety, liars, racists, deviants and criminals that comprise the Democrat Party, the more they will at a minimum dig their own political graves at least in the near term for the '26 midterms. Naturally, election thievery on their part notwithstanding, as I am convinced happened last week in the special election that restored a radical leftist majority to the Wisconsin state supreme court. And of course going back to 2020. But that's crazy conspiracy talk, never mind the circumstantial and actual physical evidence and eyewitness accounts that at the barest of bare minimums should cast serious doubt on the legitimacy of the outcomes.
But again, as with Crockett, I'm repeating a sad old story that unless something changes at the state and national levels will also repeat itself. It is heartening to see that some actions are being seriously attempted legislatively to at least try to prevent non-citizens from voting,
The Republican-led House is slated to hold another vote on the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which would require documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote.
As expected, the propaganda press and left-wing activists have resorted to spreading lies about the legislation to convince the American people that it should be opposed. But these lies are purposely designed to guilt Americans into sacrificing their right to free and fair elections. Here’s how to refute them.
It's going to be a constant battle to fight the massive law fare campaigns pre and post elections by such characters as Marc Elias and others. Beyond that, the insanity of mail-in ballots that was forced down our throats courtesy of the fakedemic lockdowns and other voter integrity laws that were dismantled at that time especially in the key swing states and districts along with motor voter and the necessity to clean up voter rolls every X years to insure students who reside in college towns only temporarily, dead people, those over the age of 150 and others are prevented from voting early and often.
Elsewhere, the continued reactions to the President's tariff regime is taking up the bulk of the headlines as the markets continue to fluctuate as they seek some sort of equilibrium. On the positive front, more nations are now ready to make deals to drop their barriers and tariffs in return for us to do the same, and with all of that, this happened:
U.S. markets surged late Wednesday following an announcement by President Donald J. Trump that he would ease tariff measures against most of America’s trading partners as the White House begins bilateral negotiations with around 75 countries—except for China, which saw tariff rates on its goods increase to 125 percent.The Dow Jones closed at 40,608.45, a gain of 2,962.86 points on the day—the single largest daily point gain in history. Meanwhile, the S&P 500, which saw significant volatility over the past week, saw nearly a 10 percent gain, closing at 5,456.90.An estimated 30 billion shares were traded on Wednesday, marking the heaviest—by volume—trading day in Wall Street’s history. The surge in trading almost entirely came after President Trump posted on Truth Social that he would pause his reciprocal tariffs—although not sector-specific tariffs on products such as steel—on all foreign nations, except China, with only the 10 percent global tariff remaining in effect while his White House begins negotiations with a number of countries on a new, more equitable trade system accounting for the interests of the United States.
A $1.9 trillion “tsunami” is headed for American industry — and it’s coming from China.
The Communist country of 1.3 billion people has shifted that much cash into amping up its factories in just four years in an effort to overwhelm manufacturers around the world with an influx of cheap goods.
President Trump’s 125% tariff on all Chinese imports into the US — which he announced Wednesday as he paused steep duties on most other countries — is actually just the latest protective measure against China.
The European Union, Brazil, Mexico and Thailand have either imposed new tariffs in the last few months, or are considering such measures to protect their own industries from Chinese imports.
“The tsunami is coming for everyone,” said Katherine Tai, trade representative for former President Joe Biden, told The New York Times. Over the past four years, China has pulled money from funding housing construction and put it into building factories, with state-controlled banks granting industrial borrowers almost $2 trillion in extra financing, according to new data from China’s central bank, obtained by The Times. China is building new factories nonstop and outfitting old ones with the latest tech, churning out products from cars to phones to fertilizer at an unprecedented rate — and all bound for foreign shores.
The Times reported that China is set to overtake Germany with the world’s largest car factory. Chinese carmaker BYD is building not one, but two plants that are bigger than the current record holder in Wolfsburg, Germany. . .
. . . Trump’s unprecedented tariff on Chinese goods could similarly shield the US from the coming wave.
Steep on cars, for example, have already stopped cheap Chinese EVs from decimating the American auto industry.
But it’s already too late for some local manufacturers. Chinese imports to Thailand have caused manufacturers in that country to plunge by 50%, ASEAN Briefing reported last year.
WEll, there's lots of blame to go around insofar as previous administrations and myriad self-imposed artificial factors that drove up the cost of doing business here made offshoring our manufacturing to China and elsewhere at the expense of the American worker an easy decision to make.
Tariffs alone won't address and solve this crisis, but it's a first step along with many others, like DOGE and immigration enforcement plus a reigniting of the AMerican entrepreneurial spirit and the notion of rugged individualism that has been slimed and stripped away from several generations of American youth courtesy of academia and the woke anti-American culture mongers.
Beyond that, there are some very disturbing stories in the crime section, among them a Texas woman force feeding her pregnant daughter abrtion pills, a "mass" shooting in Virginia, a crazy shootout in LA, as well as a rash of teen suicides linked to some sort of "extortion" racket coming out of Nigeria.
Plus, lots more from around the world, across the nation and up your street , for your consideration this morning,
