The War of All Against All - by Michael Smith

With Democrats at a historic 21% approval level, what are they doing?

• Forming a "shadow government", 
• suing the President for an EO that bans non-citizens from voting, 
• going to bat for criminals and illegal aliens, 
• burning Teslas, and 
• protesting things that are not happening...

Maybe they are shooting for single digit approval ratings.
So, what are we doing?
Three months after a mandate establishing win, we are at each other's throat over a macroeconomic policy that was enacted by a president who promised, as a candidate, this exact thing...

Meta officially ending 'fact-checking' | Blaze Media

Social media platforms will switch to a community notes system. - Candace Hathaway

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and Threads, announced on Friday that it is officially ending its "fact-checking" program in the United States.

• Joel Kaplan, the company's chief global affairs officer, stated that starting Monday, it will terminate the program for good and switch to a community notes system, similar to Elon Musk's X...
• Kaplan declared, "By Monday afternoon, our fact-checking program in the US will be officially over."
• Meta explained that as part of the change, no social media users should have strikes against their account by Monday. Since January, anyone who has been so-called "fact-checked" will reportedly not face any account penalties or demotions.

Meta began testing its new community notes feature in mid-March, allowing some social media users to write and rate notes across its platforms.
"Around 200,000 potential contributors in the U.S. have signed up so far across all three apps, and the wait list remains open for those who wish to take part in the program...

Poisoned for profit: Invisible hands controlling kids health | Blaze Media: 

“There’s millions and billions and hundreds of billions and trillions of dollars to be made from getting a kid sick, from getting them addicted, from keeping them in fear,” he continues. “This is something that the Trump administration, just in modern society today, we have to balance, because we do want to unleash responsible innovation, but we have lost touch of common sense.”

“And I think that’s kind of the message that Bobby Kennedy and Trump have really resonated on. It’s really a getting back to basics message,” he adds.

Oops, Houthis!

Absolutely Must Watch - Rick Santelli brilliantly argues with his hosts the factual necessity of tariffs and how Globalism is in decline!

CNBC's Liesman vs. Santelli: Tariffs Confront "The Dark Side" Of "Everyday K-Mart Low Prices" Santelli says the post-war economic order has "outlived its usefulness," and Trump is "lighting the firecracker that will finally end it with a big pop."  - Tony Seruga@TonySeruga

• By bringing in cheap Chinese products, America’s Main Street, USA was gutted. 
• The goal is for American families to live the American dream with that house, white picket fence, 2-3 children, two cars, all with one person working.

Winning!

 

CLIMATE UGLINESS The Feds are Hiding the Eagle Death Data

“Wind power is killing a lot of eagles. The federal government is tracking this destruction, but it is all a big secret. We have a right to know what is happening to our eagles.” -  David Wojick

Imagine there is an industry product that is killing thousands a year and the number is growing. 

The government is tracking it closely, while keeping the data secret in order to protect the product. Outrageous, right? 

But that is exactly the case with wind power killing eagles.

• Every wind-killed eagle found at an industrial wind site is quickly reported to the federal Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). 
• Every year each site also submits an annual kill report to FWS. 
• None of this data is publicly available...

Other Countries Seem to Like Tariffs. So Why Are People Opposed to Trump’s Tariffs? Victor Davis Hanson

But here’s my question.  - Victor Davis Hanson@VDHanson

• And yet, the world seemed to erupt in anger. It was very strange. Even people on the libertarian right and, of course, the left were very angry. The Wall Street Journal pilloried Donald Trump.

But here’s my question. 

• China has prohibitive tariffs, so does Vietnam, so does Mexico, so does Europe. 
• So do a lot of countries. 
• So does India. 

But if tariffs are so destructive of their economies, why is China booming? 

How did India become an economic powerhouse when it has these exorbitant tariffs on American imports? 

How did Vietnam, of all places, become such a different country even though it has these prohibitive tariffs? 

Why isn’t Germany, before its energy problems, why wasn’t it a wreck? 

It’s got tariffs on almost everything that we send them. 

How is the EU even functioning with these tariffs?...

We need real, honest results!

 

General Motors reacts to Trump's tariffs with this big move | Blaze Media

General Motors reacts to Trump's tariffs with this big move | Blaze Media: 

General Motors announced on Thursday to its workforce that the company will be increasing production of its light-duty trucks at a plant in Fort Wayne, Indiana, to avoid the reciprocal tariffs implemented by President Donald Trump. Reuters reported that the Fort Wayne plant makes the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks. GM also manufactures those trucks at plants in Mexico and Canada, with around half of GM's large pickup truck production done in Mexico and Canada. The company will likely add more overtime hours, along with hiring more temporary workers to increase production output at the Indiana plant.

Context matters!

Context matters.
Any "expert" condemning "Trump's tariffs" without explaining the benefits/reasons isn't providing, unbiased wisdom. 

He's providing political sophistry.

• Same with those "experts" pretending normal market behavior is "end of the world". 

Political sophistry.

The NGO Complex Is Irredeemably Corrupt - David Strom

It's just that most of these nonprofits aren't so much helping people as farming them for money...
My wife works for the Minnesota State Legislature, so she sees the steady stream of nonprofit CEOs and lobbyists bringing in their shiny literature, PowerPoints, and clients to lobby legislators to dump tons on taxpayer money into their coffers.

• If you bought the lies they were selling, you would think that every third child would starve to death without the government pouring every possible dime legislators could scrape up their way.
• Imagine those commercials with Sarah McLachlan music playing, with children and puppies, and the nonprofit execs pleading for just one more dollar to save one more life.

It is all BS...
