Trump’s Life’s Work Culminates in Confronting China
…while India’s Indian and assorted Genocidal Jews invade, control and feature prominently in. Every. Goddam. Aspect. Of. American. Life…..despite their small proportion of U S. Census.
Eternal boogeymen and the list grows although the country is sort of split on Putin being Hitler.
The way I see it Vaunted American Businessman are imply uncompetitive, venal, selfish, resort to violence sons of bitches.
That’s nothing new, right?
I certainly can’t be the first to notice amongst the inebriated, brainwashed masses.You’d have to be as willfully blind as D or hard-cooked like ctzx NOT to see it like Josh Hammer appears to be. Or perhaps Josh is just from afar polishing the knob of the Big Orange Man as an overly unctuous long-distance job interview.
D can tell ya and Tulsi, Hegs, Walz, Patel have shown sucking up to Billionaires gets you places. Prime example is JD Vance BLANTON Bowman Hamel Veeeep and his lordships ascendancy courtesy of that creepy shit from Palantir, Peter Thiel and his UberLunatic Zionist sidekick.From another thread, why demonize the ex spouse?
Well, because that’s what they do and it works and ppl believe you especially white knighted attorneys and the asses traipse about in a judge’s black robes.Abe has no wedding ring?
Kids today! Who can figure them out?“Can The Work Ethic Make A Return?
“It’s been generations since most people knew anything of farm life, to say nothing of factory life.”It has to of course, but fair question. Business owners are like “Have to close, I can’t find a single person who can pay attention or stay off their phone.” Me either: apparently I just whine about geopolitics all day.
China closing:
Yes, and I understand that, but 1) they are floating some ridiculous numbers that the U.S. is only 3% of China’s markets n’ stuff. No way. They’re running multiples that through Vietnam and Taiwan alone. 2) China lasted 5,000 years? So did everyone else on earth in that definition. China collapsed over and over and over in that time. So I’m not sure this quote means anything except: “No thank you.” And fine. Like Russia sanctions, we need them to stop bc it’s shock therapy and democracies – heck, all peoples and systems – will never take their medicine but need to blame someone.What will this guy say in 6 months when his boss Xi signs some kind of deal? I’m not saying it’s a bad deal or that we win, but one day there WILL be a deal. And then what? That’s the same position as “We will fight to the last man” and then signing peace when 90% of your men are left. Or like we wouldn’t talk to the dirty commie enemy in Vietnam a day before we left with a peace deal. It always ends, so why bluster? (I specifically ask Americans who are for more famous for this kind of thing)
Is that Gina Carrera on Maher? Pointing out that Trump’s position is Bernie’s position on tariffs, and Clinton’s position on immigration. (Hillary on Bill’s Both) Bernie has now flipped and only recently and has John McCain’s views. Explain?
“Ryan Routh was charged Thursday in Florida for his attempt.”
Missed this. Any evidence?
Booth sounds like Zoolander. A pretty empty head, easily influenced into taking roles. There are always some.
Yes, and it’s going around that bucking the judiciary and saying “Come at me Bro” is only done a few times. Like Jackson, Lincoln, FDR. FDR was trying to erase the Supreme Court, btw and nearly did. But like every 80 years like clockwork. But despite everyone’s galling historical illiteracy, somehow it’s … reversed each time? Not once, on accident, but all the time? Because the PEOPLE and their character, do not wish it? And for example, Lincoln had already grasped all those powers and ended America – habeus corpus, law etc was in tatters under him. And he had very clearly arranged all the repairs, North and South, legally, financially, on the Supreme Court, and elsewhere. As stated, the only reason the South remained an African colony of the North was Lincoln’s death. That’s WHY they did it. For our Industrialists, but also London, other reasons.
They say “People don’t do this” that men are naturally evil. I say it myself, check of powers, weak, fallen men. However, now we have FOUR times Presidents grabbed the ring and like Cincinnatus, gave it back. And they should. And I don’t trust them. But they DID. …Well, not sure about FDR, he died, but…
“Throughout virtually his entire career, Trump has served as a “class traitor” archetype”
As was FDR, a vulture capitalist, telling the rich to knock it off in 1930 or they’d be hung like they were in Russia.
“Beijing’s perspective is dramatically different. Xi Jinping has taken the view that his country would lose face if it simply capitulated to what it calls America’s “unilateral bullying.”
This is true and Trump knows that. (Using my DonaldTelepathy, stay with me here). So WHY? I don’t think they have the illusion they can just turn China into a vassal, that’s fantasy. And it goes with right now, arranging not to talk, and has to do with other geopolitical alliances, but what? Suppose he is positioning them against Europe (sure) or working w Russia and the world as counterweight since you don’t want to dump American Empire (yay) just to end up under a Chinese Empire instead. Right? This remains unclear so far.
But look this way: if you were Thailand of Vietnam, yes you like China, but you really NEED to play China off America to hold your place. No America as counterweight, what happens in a few years? This is just reality. It’s worth some dough since they also know if we collapse worldwide trade will halt for several reasons, the US$ being one.
“Last November saw almost $35 billion dumped following the election.
Canada was the largest net seller in January. The UK…”Yes, WHO? Oh EUROPE was the one dumping? And yet somehow all the headlines said China, Japan was, now some Fx position? WHY did someone feel the need to float those false stories? And it wasn’t all at once, it was This (discredited) That (discredited) Next (discredited) new one today (discredited). Who floats 5 bad stories and never get fired? We run out of time before reporting correctly? And WHO did that protect?
“Clearly last month’s Oval Office showdown involving J.D. Vance and Zelensky”
Words have meanings, Mr. Reporter. In what way was this a Showdown? Two entirely equal gunfighters agree to fight at noon? Oh you mean two allies one of whom barely exists, who had a disagreement at the dinner table and was easily ejected by the dogcatcher.
“Showdown” is when both equals show up planning for a fight. So you’re also saying Zelensky showed up looking to take over the United States. What.
“‘You can’t look for something in the middle. There is an aggressor and there is a victim. The Russians are the aggressor, and we are the victim’.”

“a “resilience force” to be stationed in Ukraine, presenting them as a deterrent. Kellogg said he did not propose dividing the country but rather discussed with the Times the idea of “zones of responsibility,” controlled by Russia, a British-French contingent, and Kiev itself, respectively.”
No wonder Kellogg is sidelined: that’s retarded. However, it’s important I guess someone does it on the Euro side.
“with such a trip, Trump will finally grasp Putin’s true nature.
“You will understand with whom you have a deal. You will understand what Putin did,” the Ukrainian leader said.Ze: “Putin is a madman, a genocidal, unhinged maniac”
Also Ze: “That’s why we should attack and invade Russia directly, as Putin will never push the button and launch nukes if they’re losing.”
Pick one.
“They are not a ‘News Show,’ but a dishonest Political Operative simply disguised as ‘News,’
Yes and that’s all of them. Fox being right on top as well.
It is widely known that NATO forces are present in Ukraine, the minister added. “The New York Times recently reported that Americans have been playing a leading role”There’s only one conclusion for a patriotic citizen to make: the NY Times is a conspiracy theory. We must keep bombing like McCain would have wanted us to.
“• The Sumy Missile Strike: War, Propaganda, and Hypocrisy (Amar)So what if it was? Things go off course in a war, the Russian targeting has been very, very low. Classic Logical Fallacy: standard for Russia is perfection, standard for Ukraine is not discussed.
DEI: seems like there should be more middle ground, but you either hire and promote on merit, or you don’t. DEI by definition does not. That’s according to themselves.
“a district court judge tried to tell the administration that they had to kidnap a citizen of El Salvador and fly [him] back here.”
This is what I mean by citizenship. He’s in his home country. So what do you want from us? His home embassy has to take it up with ours, you don’t just get to show up. Go TO THE EMBASSY in your home coutnry: Mexico, El Salvador, and fill out paperwork. We’ll let you know.
I don’t land in Italy then say “Guess what? I’m a citizen of Naples now.” That’s not what your passport says.
“Each and every person that ever encouraged, pressured, coerced, or threatened reprisal for one of these COVID-19 vaccines is complicit in a crime”
Did you provide informed consent? With no reprisals for refusal? Welcome to Nuremberg.
“”The next step is to halt the mRNA platform itself.”
As Trump himself promotes this, I understand.
“I’m afraid your reality doesn’t fit my theoretical model” We’re suspending Reality until further notice.

Good article. Some of the details overestimate how many people are too defective to pull it off. Those are obvious. Set them aside. Its the headline alone that discredits the article. People will go places with total disregard for the difficulty. There are no surprises in that article for me. And here we go. It looks like something Pepe Escobar would write.While I am signed in, That F-16 shot down. The first reaction in the news was that it was too far inside Ukraine to be a Russia action. Turns out it was Russia. Shooting down any fast moving target is perishable. You have time X. The slower the missile, the closer you have to get. The lack of data on the shooter says it was far away. The distance says it was a very fast missile. That is enough to say that Russia now has hypersonic sparrows. Mighty sparrows. Good luck GI.
The tale of Booth and Lincoln is very engaging.
Bank of England has always been thought to have played a role…“Whatever else you think is happening in our world, contraction is the reality-based order-of-the-day, and everything else is downstream of that…”
Truer words were never spoken
Humans aren’t reproducing at numbers to even replace themselves in most of the world.
The parts still ‘growing’ will hit resource/energy limits soon enough.
Modern ‘economics’ has no working models OR experience in running large economies that are contracting.
It is The Kiss of Death, contraction.
Add in Real AI, not the dog and pony proof-of-concept that passes off as ‘ai’, but the classified real stuff coming down the pike and many people will fulfill and manifest the very definition of “useless eaters”.
This current form of contraction is not so much driven by energy resources as it is by people giving up reproducing.
And reproduction will drop because of medical reasons like covid killshots and lousy nutrition and dysfunctional behavior by the new cohort of ‘young people’ who don’t even talk to each other in person or even make eye contact.
Hey, so much for romance.
“Each and every person that ever encouraged, pressured, coerced, or threatened reprisal for one of these COVID-19 vaccines is complicit in a crime”
but mr kennedy is protecting all of them as he has not ended prep act coverage until december 31st, 2029.
so there.
and,
they are not “vaccines”.
everybody knows that non-investigational eua countermeasures are the key to good health!
RIM just made another great explanation.
Cannot spend money that doesn’t exist.
The developing U.S.-China trade war, from reciprocal tariffs, keeps ratcheting up to a full embargo.
Fervent nationalism, and that feeds into what will become World War III.
Antony Blinken expressed “serious concern” about China’s support for Russia’s defense industry.
He went as far as to threaten Xi that he would impose sanctions if China helped Russia.
———
China previously owned 10% of the US national debt.
This is what Trump has not considered.
Before this trade war began, in January, foreigners sold a net $13.3 billion of U.S. notes and bonds that had more than one year to maturity.
As we approach sovereign debt defaults, I have warned that it may start with Japan and be followed by Europe.
We saw almost $50 billion was sold in December 2024 in anticipation of a Trump trade war. Last November saw almost $35 billion dumped following the election.

Trump knew pushback would be inevitable.
He couldn’t know the exact shape or timing, but he knew the opportunity to respond would come.
And when it did, he took it.Whether you agree with his tactics or not, he’s not capitulating or backtracking, he’s managing an unfolding negotiation.
What makes Trump different—and maddening to many—is that he’s not cut from traditional presidential cloth.
He’s a developer, a dealmaker, someone for whom negotiation is second nature.
His presidency brought that skill set into a realm where every feint and pivot is broadcast and critiqued in real time.
It’s a high-wire act, sure. But not one he has entered blindly.
———-
These are dynamic, complex negotiations with layers most commentators either don’t understand or refuse to acknowledge.
Yes, last week was a terrifying ride, but so is our future if something doesn’t change.
Lest we forget, we’re going bankrupt.
Something needs to happen.
The U.S.—and by extension, much of the global economy—is hurtling down an unsustainable path.
Somebody had to start changing the dynamics of a game which everybody is about to lose. Trump has done so.
You don’t have to like him to see that he understands the stakes.if conventional thinking could solve our existential issues, it would have by now.

The truth is not believable
• Zelensky Started The War Then Begged For Missiles – Trump (RT)Trump allegedly “rewrote history, saying, falsely, that Ukraine had started the war and calling… Zelensky ‘a dictator without elections’,” according to CBS. The US president lashed out at the news network on Truth Social on Monday, calling the interview inaccurate and fraudulent.
… blasting him for asking for more and more weapons and money, while knowing full well Ukraine can’t defeat Russia, which is “twenty times your size” – as Trump said.

• We Have Proof Sumy Strike Targeted Ukrainian Troops and Foreign Mercs – Lavrov (Sp.)Russia possesses information that Ukrainian troops met with their foreign counterparts at the facility targeted by Russian forces in the strike on Sumy, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Monday.
There was another ‘gathering’ of Ukrainian military commanders with their Western colleagues, who were disguised either as mercenaries or I do not know who,” Lavrov told Russian newspaper Kommersant.
It is widely known that NATO forces are present in Ukraine, the minister added.
“The New York Times recently reported that Americans have been playing a leading role in strikes on Russia.
Without this part, the majority of [Ukrainian] long-range missiles would never have taken off at their deployment sites,” he said.

The complaint alleges that Crockett received 53 separate donations of $595 from a 73 year old supporter named Randy Best through the Act Blue portal.However, when one of Crockett’s opponents for 2026 spoke to Best’s wife, she denied that the couple knew anything about donations, raising concerns that the Act Blue donations may have been made by others with donations being given under false names.

U.S. Strikes Spur Plans for Yemeni Ground War Against Houthis
Pro-government militias sense opportunity to claw back territory from Iran-backed militantsYemeni militias are planning a ground offensive against the Houthis in an attempt to take advantage of a U.S. bombing campaign that has degraded the militant group’s capabilities, Yemeni and U.S. officials say.
But if conventional thinking could solve our existential issues, it would have by now.
This is inverted.
For what, 50 years? 75 years? We’ve listened to “experts” who keep repeating anti-intuitive things.
Detroit in ruins? American Rustbelt? Solution is to do moar of this. Because “experts” kept repeating the same advice a lot. And if you questioned them, they would repeat totally self-recursive solipsistic “proofs.” And eventually by “Basketing” we got the notion that if you DIDN’T agree with Experts, your’e probably – no, certainly! – a racist sexist homophobe nazi retard.
Our Experts keep telling us that sending wave after wave of B52’s from our own airfields to carpet-bomb our own cities into oblivion is the surest, most conventional path to prosperity – or prosperity is evil and it’s the best way to achieve virtuousness, anyway. By sheer adherence to The Repeated Thing.
So maybe we try tariffs and price discovery again. Markets are 90% overvalued. Crashing markets – DGAF. Markets that aren’t actually markets. We need markets to be the actual thing, not the fake thing. You want to buy 40 acres, start your own commune, and make some fucked up “market” that’s the opposite of a market, and you want to use that to interact with your fellow cult members, have at it. Show us how it is done and sustained without continual inputs from outside, with no one to rob by force, deception, or coercion.
But if conventional thinking could solve our existential issues, it would have by now.”
The quotation, above, seems to be today’s Quote Of The Day.
I would only add the advice that if conventional thinking CAN’T solve our existential issues, then maybe we ought to reexamine conventional thinking itself, to see if maybe those existential problems are coming from there in the first place.

Well there you go. Inarguable.

>demons are not so bad

>demons are bad… and that’s a good thingI’m currently in an all-hands meeting (muted, camera covered) in which they are proudly announcing their goal for 2025: 50% women and 50% more diversity. ie “Not you” regardless of all other considerations to do with the job, basic demographics, reality etc.
Marx & Engels > Marcuse, Gramsci, Friere > Crenshaw > Kendri/DiAngelo. Damn racist, sexist socialists.
The obvious countermove would be to create a company to recruit all the white males not getting hired or those who find they have no promotion opportunities. That company would be FIERCELY competitive, understandably. And attacked from every side. Because “racism.” Like hey, I cant’ gather together the dregs you made clear you didn’t want?
The vomit inducing lecture about Diversity is raining down on us right now. Lots of demanding answers from people in the audience (and we know what the only right answers are but they want to hear it from OUR mouths…) Somehow unplanned absences relate to DEI, they’re launching into that now.

Federal Judge Halts Trump Admin’s Deportation Of Half A Million Biden “Parolees”
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/federal-judge-halts-trump-admins-deportation-half-million-biden-paroleesJudge Talwani’s order would require individual hearings for the half of a million individuals allowed into the country under this program by President Joe Biden.
Question, sir!
Can another judge do an injunction on this judge, one that requires that none of the haltings can happen until each “parolee” individually is reviewed for entry into the US?
Trump should proactively have friendly judges doing injunctions on his deportations before unfriendly ones can get to them.
“Sir you are NOT allowed to halt or slow any deportations unless the specific individual being deported has completed a review of eligibility for entry to the USA (sorry sir, I see you are a felon…) although such a future review cannot be assumed to have the certainty nor possibility of entry until complete”
Sorry, boss. Can’t stop the deportation for this injunction, got this other injunction I must obey. If your court district would like to sue the other court district or trade injuctions against each other or something, I guess you can work that out in 4 or 5 years maybe.
