“Where is the fun? The romance!!! The purpose!!!!! Screw it — I’m joining the plumbers union.”
[BREITBART] The daughter of failed Democrat vice presidential candidate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz ...Kamala's smarmy-looking VP running mate, governor of Minnesota and self-admitted knucklehead, who decided to retire rather than to deploy with his National Guard unit, then claimed to have been in Iraq and Afghanistan. One man's socialism is another man's neighborliness.... is opting out of graduate school to stand against a lack of support for student protests.
In a video she posted on TikTok, Hope Walz on Sunday laid out her reasons for the decision, Fox News reported.
The young woman stated:
I applied for one school. I kind of had my heart set on it. That's what I wanted to do. I am not going to name the institution. But given recent events, I am not going to give my money, go into debt for, or support institutions that don't support their students and the right to protest and speak out for their communities. That's just not where I'm at.
Students deserve to be protected. I'm not worried about if I were to be protected or not at said institution. I'm, you know, a privileged white woman. But I'm not going to put myself in the position where I am giving money or supporting institutions that don't support their students.
Social media users shared their thoughts on the clip, with one person writing, ''No one cares.'' Another user called her a ''future antifa member.''
''Where's the support for Israel's right to exist, and for the Jewish students?'' someone else commented.
Per the Fox News article, numerous universities across the nation have been bombarded with intense anti-Israel protests and antisemitism boiling over on their campuses.
[BREITBART] Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Wednesday on CNBC's ''Squawk Box'' that if President Donald Trump ...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US... removes tariffs, Canada will drop all of their tariffs.
Host Andrew Ross Sorkin said, ''Do you expect this to be a negotiation? meaning there has been a sense, implied or otherwise, that we're going to hear a number, whether it's 20% or something else, as a sort of top, and that if folks like yourself come forward and say, you know what, we're going to take some tariffs off of this and we're going to do this, perhaps that those tariff numbers come down?''
Ford said, ''Well, let's hope so. Let's sit down and discuss this because it's just going to hurt American jobs. I can't stress it enough and you know again he believes he's supporting Americans. He said he was going to create jobs, create wealth, reduce inflation it's worked the total opposite.''
Ross Sorkin said, ''But do you think it's fair that you have tariffs on a whole number of products.''
Ford said, ''That's right. And we'd be willing to take those off tomorrow if he took all the tariffs off. We are not the problem. Andrew do you know the problem is? China is the problem. And he's taking a blind eye to China as they continue to build their critical mass. We have all the critical minerals that our great neighbors need. we have the energy that our great neighbors need.''
Ross Sorkin said, ''I just want to go back for a moment. If, in fact, you're prepared to take your tariffs off, why wouldn't you have that negotiation and that conversation now before any tariffs get put in place?''
Ford said, ''Well, we've had we've had this conversation for over the last month we don't want tariffs. We have another $65 billion with a tariffs to launch today. That's the last thing we want to do because it's just again it's going to hurt both countries. It's going to hurt American workers.''
It's trade deficit divided by their exports.
EU: exports 605.8, imports 370.2, deficit -235.6.
-235.6/605.8 = 39%. "Reciprocal tariff is 20%)
If trade deficit is 10% or less (including surplus), 10% are applied, even for islands with no inhabitants.
Sorry folks, Trump should have chosen April 1st for this (and I'm being polite here).

The other math is focused on unemployment. Pay a higher price for goods but reduce unemployment and the inefficient bureaucracy that maintains it or pay a lower price for goods and increase unemployment and the inefficient bureaucracy for sustaining it. Social stability is greater in the former state rather then in the latter state.
I don't think so. In Trump's world, someone has to lose when he wins. This may work in NY real estate, it doesn't work for world economy. Trump can only think of "others are ripping us off", because that's what he likes to do himself.
But trade should be beneficial for both side. A good "deal" is a win for both.
My U.S. customers don't feel "cheated". They buy a good product they need and pay a fair price for it. The U.S. doesn't produce it, so now they will have to pay the tariff that comes with it. I'm not going to lower my price one cent. My price is fair.
So the U.S. government is ripping off its own people. Enjoy.

I don't apparently buy your product, EC, so continuing not to buy it won't phase me. Your customers will look for other sources if your price + tariff is too high. Enjoy.

But then the Senate votes to nullify the Tariff deal with Canada after Canada had already capitulated, thus snatching defeat from victory yet again. Thank McConnel and the usual coven of turncoats.

"Back in the 1960s, for example, the U.S. was unhappy with a German tax on imported chicken, so in retaliation, policymakers imposed a 25% tariff on all imported pickup trucks.
That pickup truck tariff is still in place more than 50 years later. Until this week, it was ten times the tax on imported cars.
As a result, domestic carmakers have focused on building big pickup trucks that don't face foreign competition, while largely ignoring the more hotly contested market for sedans."

In Trump's world, someone has to lose when he wins.
Although Mr Trump and I have never spoken, I do not think he looks at things that way. A deal is a win-win, both parties get something and are better off than before the deal. Otherwise, why make it?
What is Trump's goal here? What is the desired end state?
Possibly to wreck the world economy, though I rate that one real low. Amidst the chaos and noise, we see certain of our trading partners dropping tariffs altogether. Is it possible the end goal is a free trade network with no tariffs whatsoever?
Governments impose tariffs to protect domestic industries from foreign competition. Sometimes, it is an industry considered strategic, like rice in Japan. Sometimes, to appease or reward political friends, like a worker's union. And let us not forget the government revenue aspect - why tax your own citizens when you can tax foreigners? Either way, it is a market distortion.

Very happy with my Cadillac Escalade (2024).
This is all so stupid.

In 2021 when my 2001 Chevy Tahoe died (350,000 miles) I bought a 2021 GLE450. GM was gouging on the large SUV market due to covid and it was cheaper to buy the Mercedes than a Tahoe. Mrs Unvaxed drives mostly.

Our best, most reliable ally today is Japan. Happily they make great cars, with an eye toward continuous improvement, and they build them in the USA.

[TheGuardian] Ron Klain tells author Chris Whipple then president could not focus and obsessed about foreign leaders ahead of debate that ended his campaign
In a new book, Joe Biden’s former White House chief of staff paints a devastating picture of the then US president’s mental and physical state before the debate with Donald Trump that sent his 2024 campaign into a tailspin, resulting in his relinquishing the Democratic nomination to Kamala Harris.
Ron Klain served Biden from 2021 to 2023, then returned to his side last June to run debate preparation as he had for numerous Democratic presidents before.
According to Klain, it turned out that Biden “didn’t know what Trump had been saying and couldn’t grasp what the back and forth was”; left preparation and fell asleep by the pool; obsessed about foreign leaders, saying “these guys say I’m doing a great job as president so I must be a great president”; “didn’t really understand what his argument was on inflation”; and “had nothing to say about a second term other than finish the job”.
As described by Klain to the reporter Chris Whipple, at one point Biden had an idea.
“If he looked perplexed when Trump talked, voters would understand that Trump was an idiot. Klain replied: ‘Sir, when you look perplexed, people just think you’re perplexed. And this is our problem in this race.”
Whipple’s book, Uncharted: How Trump Beat Biden, Harris, and the Odds in the Wildest Campaign in History, will be published next week. The Guardian obtained a copy.
Biden is reportedly planning his own book but Whipple’s blockbuster is not even the first such volume to hit the shelves. This week saw the publication of Fight, by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes, which also contains extensive reporting on Biden’s decline and Harris’s struggle to win over party elites.
Like Parnes and Allen, Whipple reports both sides of a campaign Trump won despite a criminal conviction, civil penalties including one related to an allegation of rape, and indictments over election subversion and retention of classified information.
But Whipple focuses another harsh spotlight on Biden, an octogenarian president long beset by questions about his fitness for office.
Last week, Whipple told Politico: “I have fresh reporting on an hour-by-hour, day-by-day basis of Biden’s final days, and obviously his decline is a major part of the story.
“I happen to think that to call it a ‘cover-up’ is simplistic. I think it was stranger and way more troubling than that. Biden’s inner circle, his closest advisers, many of them were in a fog of delusion and denial. They believed what they wanted to believe.”
In early 2024, as the campaign warmed up, Klain was among those who said he believed Biden was the right candidate to beat Trump a second time, telling the New York Times: “If I thought he wasn’t the right candidate to beat Donald Trump, I wouldn’t be for him running. But I think he is the right candidate.”
Even after the disastrous debate, by his own telling to Whipple, Klain believed Biden should have stayed in the race – a statement that jars with Klain’s account of debate prep at Camp David.
“At his first meeting with Biden in Aspen Lodge, the president’s cabin,” Whipple writes, Klain “was startled. He’d never seen him so exhausted and out of it. Biden was unaware of what was happening in his own campaign. Halfway through the session, the president excused himself and went off to sit by the pool.
“That evening Biden met again with Klain and his team, [Biden aides] Mike Donilon, Steve Richetti, and Bruce Reed. ‘We sat around the table,’ said Klain. ‘[Biden] had answers on cards, and he was just extremely exhausted. And I was struck by how out of touch with American politics he was. He was just very, very focused on his interactions with Nato leaders.’”
Klain, Whipple writes, “wondered half-seriously if Biden thought he was president of Nato instead of the US. ‘He just became very enraptured with being the head of Nato,’ he said. That wouldn’t help him on Capitol Hill because, as Klain noted, ‘domestic political leaders don’t really care what [Emmanuel] Macron and [Olaf] Scholz think.’”
Klain, fellow aides and visitors including the film mogul Jeffrey Katzenberg tried to get Biden into shape. Two mock debates were organized, focusing on domestic policy.
“The first was scheduled to last 90 minutes but Klain called it off after 45. The president’s voice was shot and so was his grasp of the subject. All he really could talk about was his infrastructure plan and how he was rebuilding America and 16 million jobs. He had nothing to say about his agenda for a second term.”
Klain says Biden grew irritable, saying he would not make promises as he would be criticized for failing to deliver. Klain says he tried to persuade Biden to run on unfinished business, including his attempt to “subsidize state and local efforts to do childcare and bring down the cost to $20 a day. And you ought to try to fight for it again.”
“Biden seemed befuddled,” Whipple writes. “‘Well, that just seems like a big spending program,’ he said.
Klain said: “No, sir. It brings down costs for people. It’s responsive to inflation. It will bring more people into the workforce. It’s good economics. And you know this is something you’re for.”
But “Biden didn’t want to talk about it” and “25 minutes into the second mock debate, the president was done for the day. ‘I’m just too tired to continue and I’m afraid of losing my voice here and I feel bad,’ he said. ‘I just need some sleep. I’ll be fine tomorrow.’ He went off to bed.”
“The president was fatigued, befuddled, and disengaged,” Whipple writes. “Klain feared the debate with Trump would be a nationally televised disaster.” Narrator: "Spoiler Alert. It Was"
It was. On 27 June, Biden arrived at the Atlanta venue with minutes to spare – because, Klain said, “He was the president of the United States. They weren’t going to start without him.” Onstage, for two hours and six minutes, Biden stumbled, stared and mumbled.
As described by Whipple, Jill Biden praised her husband’s performance but all others around the president could see “something was terribly wrong”. Whipple quotes an unnamed close friend of Biden who took a call from Valerie Biden Owens. The president’s sister and longtime adviser was “so angry, she was practically incoherent”. The same friend reports a later call from Biden, laughing at his predicament and sounding like the senator and vice-president of old.
“Where did that voice go?” the friend wondered … “Where did that guy with that voice go? What the fuck happened to this guy?”
To Whipple, that was a question “on which the political fate of the nation would turn”.
Eventually, Biden bowed to reality. On 21 July, Klain took a call from Jeff Zients, his successor as chief of staff. Biden was out. Despite the debate disaster, the news was a “gut punch” to Klain.
“Jeff, that’s too bad,” he said. “I think that’s a mistake. I think this was an avoidable tragedy.”
Harris faced opposition from Democratic grandees including Obama and Nancy Pelosi, but wrapped up the nomination by August. In early September, Klain gave Whipple his interview. With the Minnesota governor, Tim Walz, as her running mate, Harris mounted an energetic campaign. In November, she lost to Trump.

Biden should have been 25th Amendmented a long time ago- good thing he wasn’t because it might well have given us President Harris for the rest of that term and this one. She could have used the Biden basement campaign strategy.
[FoxNews] In 2024 alone, the firms collectively donated $4M to political campaigns, 99% of which were for Democrat candidates or Democrat-allied committees
One of the country’s leading consumer protection firms released a report today exposing a "shady lawyer pipeline" of politicians handing out lucrative public contracts to trial lawyers, who in turn contribute millions of dollars to liberal political campaigns, including $1.4 million to the Harris-Walz campaign in 2024.
The report, released by Alliance for Consumers (AFC), highlights the deep Democratic ties of eight major consumer protection law firms — Morgan & Morgan, Lieff Cabraser, Motley Rice, Baron & Budd, Grant & Eisenhofer, Berger Montague, Cohen Milstein and Simmons Hanly — which it dubs the "Shady Eight."
According to AFC, these firms hold profitable public contracts across the country and contributed around $25 million in political donations from 2017 through 2024.
In 2024 alone, the firms collectively donated $4 million to political campaigns, 99% of which were for Democrat candidates or Democrat-allied committees.
During the 2024 presidential election, the firms contributed $1.4 million to former Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign.
The shady eight also prioritized midterm Senate races, the report found, with Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., and former Sens. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio; Bob Casey, D–Pa.; and Jon Tester, D–Mont., receiving the largest contributions next to Harris.
Five of the firms — Lieff Cabraser, Motley Rice, Grant & Eisenhofer, Simmons Hanly and Baron & Budd — showed a 100% commitment to Democrats and their allies, generating more than $2.5 million in federal donations in 2024.
"The consumer should never be on the losing side of a left-wing political money game like what is on display in the Shady Trial Lawyer Pipeline," AFC says in its report. "This partisan political giving is supported by money from public contracts signed by politicians and public officials; money that belongs to the taxpayers and consumers."
AFC said "the ‘Shady Eight’ are stark examples — although far from the only ones — of how the Shady Trial Lawyer Pipeline works, with politicians feeding sweetheart contracts to trial lawyers who give 99% of their political donations to liberals and will happily turn around and pump millions of dollars into left-leaning candidates, committees, and allied organizations."
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] The US Department of Agriculture announced on Wednesday that it has frozen federal funds to Maine over the state's refusal to comply with President Donald Trump ...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US... 's executive order barring biological males from female sports.
Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins sent a letter to Maine Governor Janet Mills announcing the pause, writing, "You cannot openly violate federal law against discrimination in education and expect federal funding to continue unabated. Your defiance of federal law has cost your state, which is bound by Title IX in educational programming."
Rollins said that funding for certain administrative and technological functions in schools was affected by the freeze. "This pause does not impact federal feeding programs or direct assistance to Mainers; if a child was fed today, they will be fed tomorrow," she noted.
Rollins told Mills that the freeze announced Wednesday was "only the beginning, though you are free to end it at any time by protecting women and girls in compliance with federal law."
In addition to the funding freeze, Rollins said that the department is reviewing "all research and education-related funding in Maine for compliance with the Constitution, federal laws including Titles VI and IX, and the priorities of the Trump Administration," and said that the USDA has undertaken a review of all grants given out by the Biden Administration to the Maine Department of Education.
"Many of these grants appear to be wasteful, redundant, or otherwise against the priorities of the Trump Administration. USDA will not extend the Biden Administration's bloated bureaucracy and will instead focus on a Department that is farmer-first and without a leftist social agenda," Rollins wrote.

[THEHILL] Former Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra on Wednesday launched a bid for Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, governor, joining a growing field of candidates looking to replace term-limited Gov. Gavin Governor Hair Gel Newsom ...mayor of San Franciscoas it transformed itself into Poopville, currently governor of Californiaas it transforms itself into Cinderland... (D).
''As AG I took on Trump — and won. As HHS Secretary, I took on Big Pharma — and won. It's time to do it again for California,'' Becerra said in a post on social platform X announcing his campaign. ''Let's rebuild the California Dream for everyone.''
Becerra spent 12 terms representing the Golden State in the House and served as California's attorney general before former President Biden tapped him to lead HHS, becoming the first Latino to hold the office.
He now joins state Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis, former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, former state Senate leader Toni Atkins and former state Controller Betty Yee in the growing group of Democratic primary contenders. Former Rep. Katie Bat Girl Porter ...Dem law professor, attorney and politician serving as the U.S. Representative for California's 45th congressional district (Orange County) since 2019. Katie takes her job and her personal dignity so seriously she once showed up for a committee hearing dressed as Batman.... (Calif.) also jumped in last month.
But some political observers have seen the field as effectively frozen by the question of whether former Vice President Kamala Harris So Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So, basically, that’s wrong , with whom Becerra worked in the Biden administration, will join the race.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta (D) in February decided against a run for governor and told Politico he'd support Harris if she ran, saying her candidacy ''would be field-clearing.''
[BREITBART] MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill ...Now, why would I pay taxes on my airplane? Send the bill to the taxpayers!... claimed Wednesday on ''Morning Joe'' that President Donald Trump ...Never got invited to a P.Diddy party... was deporting people because he didn't ''like their opinion.''
McCaskill said, ''The underpinning for this whole thing is this idea that we're at war with Venezuela
...a country in Central America that sits on an enormous pool of oil. Formerly the most prospereous country in the region, it became infested with Commies sniffing almost unlimited wealth. It turned out the wealth wasn't unlimited, the economy collapsed under the clownish Hugo Chavez, the murder rate exceeded places like Honduras and El Salvador. A significant proportion of the populace refugeed to Colombia and points south... , and therefore, these people need to be deported without due process, without the court's involvement. Clearly, everybody in America wants violent mostly peaceful criminals who are here illegally out of the country, end of discussion, full stop. So let's do it according to our laws. It's not that hard. It doesn't have to take a lot of time.''
She continued, ''We have been a beacon to the world for the brightest minds to come to our universities. Many of them end up becoming American citizens and becoming doctors and researchers and engineers. And we have led the world in so many areas because of our higher education system. What Donald Trump is doing right now, he is deporting people not for what they've done, not because they're here illegally, because he doesn't like their opinion.''
McCaskill added, ''Now think about that. We are taking graduate students and moving them out of the country. They're here legally. They're studying. They have a different opinion than Donald Trump. Marco Rubio ...The diminutive 13-year-old Republican U.S. Senator from Florida, Secretary of State in the second Trump administration... is being his Mini-Me and actually giving voice to this, that somehow you can get deported in America if you say things we don't like. What what happened to our freedom of speech?''

Difference of opinion?
Another Liberal Media Idiot running their mouth w/o engaging basic common sense seeking to increase viewer number without regard to the danger it poses.
These foreign exchange students are here on a VISA as students.
They did not apply for a VISA to incite Riots, disrupt classes, trespass, destroy public and private properties.
As the SCOTUS has previously ruled and many Liberal Media talking heads wish to forget.
FREEDOM OF THE PRESS protections do not cover advocating violence, promoting the support of Terrorists in their crimes against the citizens of the USA.
How about the FCC pulling MSNBC Broadcast license or issuing fines?
[REDSTATE] The Democratic Party has filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump ...The man who was so stupid he beat fourteen professional politicians, a former tech CEO, and a brain surgeon for the Republican nomination in 2016, then beat The Smartest Woman in the World in the general election. Then he beat Kamala while dodging bullets... over an executive order designed to maintain integrity in federal elections.
Because, of course they are.
The suit, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia on Monday, cites several plaintiffs, including most notably the Democratic National Committee (DNC (If you're white you ain't right!) ...Democrat National Committee, where all those off-the-wall talking points originate... ), House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer ...Senator-for-life from New York, renowned for his love of standing in front of cameras and microphones. Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower, which is 49.32405 years. Senate minority leader as of 2017... (D-NY).
It's nice that Schumer and Jeffries got over their tiff long enough to join forces to stop the President from keeping non-citizens from voting.
"In the United States of America, the President does not get to dictate the rules of our elections," the court filing reads.
The suit's introduction goes on to suggest Trump was trying to "corrupt" the election process. Corrupting the process by ensuring only citizens vote. What a bizarre argument.
"The Framers of our federal Constitution foresaw that self-interested and self-aggrandizing leaders might seek to corrupt our democratic system of government to expand and preserve their own power," they write.
''Although the Order extensively reflects the President's personal grievances, conspiratorial beliefs, and election denialism, nowhere does it (nor could it) identify any legal authority he possesses to impose such sweeping changes upon how Americans vote," they added.
The lawsuit takes particular exception to the portion of Trump's executive order demanding proof of citizenship for registering to vote by mail.

It doesn’t seem to me that the Federal government has jurisdiction to set voter qualifications except to protect women, races and over 18 voter rights.

Also like to see the voting age returned to 21.
Because it seems, even States and the DC Swamp agree based on their own mandated Age restrictions for certain activities.
As one example:
Why can an 18 y/o vote and even join the military to maybe die for their country. But are not considered mature enough to drink liquors, or purchase or own a Pistol?
[REDSTATE] Things didn't go according to plan for Republicans on Tuesday in Wisconsin. In an all-important Supreme Court race, liberal Susan Crawford prevailed, beating Brad Schimel by a sizable margin despite everyone from President Donald Trump ...Never got invited to a P.Diddy party... to Elon Musk getting involved.
The stakes were high, given the far-reaching political implications. Crawford's win gives the Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... a 4-3 majority, and it is expected that they'll force congressional redistricting that will cost Republicans two House seats before the 2026 election even takes place. With the margin already so thin, that could prove decisive in who gets the majority.
Naturally, Democrats rushed to gloat, seeing the win as a change in the political winds, and one of them was Kamala Harris What can be, unburdened by what has been . For reasons that weren't immediately clear, she released a TikTok video about the election, and let's just say she really shouldn't have.
HARRIS: Hi, Wisconsin, to all of you. I just wanted to pop by to say thank you. You all are just extraordinary. You love our country. You care. You are making such extraordinary sacrifices on behalf of so many people, on behalf of communities, on behalf of people you may never meet. There is an unelected billionaire who should not and will not have a greater voice than the working people of Wisconsin.
If it seems like she's toasted there, it's probably because she very well might be. She truly has a way with words, doesn't she? Why voters rejected her at the ballot box in the 2024 election remains one of the greatest political mysteries in history. Alas, we may never know how being "Brat" wasn't enough to pull her over the finish line.
There's a bit of irony in Harris chiming in about this specific race, given that she lost Wisconsin. Did the voters there love their country and care when they rejected her? The entire thing is just weird, but I guess Harris feels like she's got to keep her face out there to set up a 2028 run. We all know she's going to, and she continues to lead Democrat primary polls, though it's very early.
On that note, it should be pointed out that almost all of her liabilities as a politician are present in that video. Her grating tone, her repetition of words, her reliance on focus-grouped talking points, so on and so forth. The whole "unelected billionaire" gambit Democrats are using is just lame. Every single government bureaucrat is "unelected," and while Musk was involved in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, so were at least four Democrat billionaires, including George Soros ...either Ernst Stavro Blofeld or Auric Goldfinger come true. Maybe both.... .

The Dem ads pounded on Musk giving $3M to the Schimel campaign (Trying to buy the election!, etc.), while Schimel's own ads said nothing about the $25M Crawford's campaign received from George Soros and JB Pritzker.
Some smaller conservative PACs did note this in their ads, but those didn't get much airtime.
