GOP Senator Had the Perfect Response to CNN Host's Questions About Trump's Tariffs

The Republican senator explained clearly how United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) compliant cars won’t be subjected to tariffs, so there’s a wide swath of products that are available to the American consumer that won’t be subjected to tariffs. - Matt Vespa
  • Customers might see price spikes in cars if the vehicles, transmission, and other electronics are manufactured in Europe.
  • CNN host Kaitlan Collins asked about the Mercedes dealership in Alabama, Moreno again reminded the fake news press that Alabama makes those cars here, and exports quite a few. The vehicles that will truly get slapped with these tariffs are super-luxury cars that only the uber-wealthy can afford. Senator Moreno explained how, in some ways, the tariff structure does tax the wealthy.

Brentwood Union Free Schools recently adopted Spartan mascot after being forced to ditch Native American mascot ("Indians")
A Long Island, New York school district is facing a lawsuit from a father and local civil rights leader who claims the school district's new mascot is a symbol of White supremacy...
Moss's complaint accuses the district of selecting the "Spartans" as their new mascot, despite it being "racially problematic," claiming the ancient Greek warrior is a "symbol of hate" banned by state law...
Moss argued that the other options chosen, "Green Machine," "Bears," "Owls," "Bulldogs," and "Eagles," were not members of an "identifiable or generally perceived protected class," like the Spartans...

Wall Street reacts to President Trump's trade tariffs plan * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

Trump said, "For decades, our country has been looted, pillaged, raped, and plundered by nations near and far, both friend and foe alike. With today's action, we are finally going to be able to make America great again – greater than ever before. Jobs in factories will come roaring back into our country."

World Health Organization reports adverse effects following US withdrawal | Blaze Media

Growing increasingly desperate, Ghebreyesus pleaded again for a reversal of fortunes on Feb. 11, stating, "We regret the announcement by the United States, of its intention to withdraw, and it was also sad to see them participating less this week. I think we all felt their absence."

"We very much hope they would reconsider, and we would welcome the opportunity to engage in constructive dialogue," added Ghebreyesus.

It appears the WHO — which Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently called a "very nefarious organization" — has since accepted the fact that the U.S. and its money are not making a return.

NPR CEO: We're Not Biased in Our Coverage, but We'll Drag Our Feet on Stories That Make Dems Look Bad

Even after her whipping on the Hill, she claims that NPR isn’t biased. - Matt Vespa
Katherine Maher will die on this hill, which is both amusingly admirable and totally insane. 
  • National Public Radio is biased. 
  • Self-identified Democrats occupy all its editorial positions, and she got obliterated on Capitol Hill, where she tried to cast herself as some impartial arbiter of today’s culture. 
She’s a part of the loony Left, which got brutally exposed by Republicans. 
Her attempts at deflection were sabotaged by herself; Republicans whipped out her insane tweets showing her adherence to wokeism...

Pro-Hamas student self-deports after Trump lawsuit doesn't go his way | Blaze Media

A radical pro-Hamas student at Cornell University has opted to leave the United States after his lawsuit against the Trump administration did not go the way he'd hoped. On March 14, the State Department reportedly revoked the student visa of Momodou Taal, a 31-year-old British and Gambian citizen studying Africana Studies at Cornell, and ordered him to report to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as Blaze News previously reported.

Innocent California Walgreens Employee Is the Latest Victim of Left's Violent Rhetoric

This tragic story out of California is two things: a) completely predictable and b) completely avoidable. - Amy Curtis
  • A Walgreens employee was killed by a man emulating UnitedHealthcare CEO murderer Luigi Mangione, because that suspect was mad at big pharmacies.
As this writer said on X, this is the inevitable outcome of the Left's rhetoric on healthcare and their view of political violence. 
  • If it's okay -- in the Left's logic -- to shoot a health insurance company CEO in the back as he walks down a NYC street, if it's okay to dox Tesla owners and vandalize their vehicles, if it's okay to torch Tesla chargers, then there was no way it wouldn't be okay to murder a random Walgreens employee over political grievances.
It's wrong and scary.
But this is what Lefty commies do...

Mark Levin reveals the REAL reason Karl Marx is still influential today | Blaze Media

Mark Levin reveals the REAL reason Karl Marx is still influential today | Blaze Media

When he died in 1883, Karl Marx was “relatively unknown,” says Mark Levin. Many knew about his predecessors Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who were considered great philosophers, but Marx himself “was not widely cited.”

It wasn’t until Woodrow Wilson and the birth of the progressive movement of “American Marxists” that Marx’s name began circulating in intellectual circles. Fast-forward to today, and he’s practically a household name — especially among conservatives, who see that his nefarious ideas form the bedrock of the progressive ideology that’s destroying this country.

A bit long but well worth the insight delivered!-----The Curious Case of FDA's Dr. Peter Marks

A case study in scientific bureaucrat incompetence and entitlement - Robert W Malone MD, MS
The Peter principle is a concept in management developed by Laurence J. Peter which observes that people in a hierarchy tend to rise to "a level of respective incompetence"...
  • Why should you care about the curious case of Dr. Peter Marks, MD, PhD? 
  • The recently resigned head of the FDA Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER)? Because Dr. Peter Marks provides an excellent case study of what happens when the government settles for acceptable instead of excellent in scientific administrator (bureaucrat) positions.
It is hard to find experienced, top-tier minds to fill government jobs. 
The salary is about 2/3 or less of comparable positions in industry, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry.  
Lots of risk if the administrator veers away from standardized processes. 
There is little opportunity for innovation or discovery. 
Great minds crave independence.
What a senior job in government does provide is power and status...

Pure michigan....

Instapundit - COVID FIVE YEARS AGO TODAY: “They got covid 100% wrong,” Don Surber wrote on Boxing Day of 2022:

“Malibu surfer in handcuffs after enjoying empty, epic waves.” - Ed Driscoll 

On April 3, 2020, the Daily Breeze reported, “Malibu surfer in handcuffs after enjoying empty, epic waves.”

Los Angeles County sheriff deputies arrested a man who was by himself in the ocean, in the name of stopping the spread of covid. The deputies were unmasked. It was a crazy time in which authorities erred on the side of authoritarianism to stop the spread of a virus.

The experts sided with closing down the world.

[On April 2nd, 2020], The LA Times reported, “Kim Prather, a leading atmospheric chemist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, wants to yell out her window at every surfer, runner, and biker she spots along the San Diego coast.”

She told the paper, “I wouldn’t go in the water if you paid me $1 million right now.”...

Trump Admin To UK PM Starmer: "No Free Speech, No Free Trade." - Geller Report

Trump says Britain won’t get a trade deal… until Starmer restores free speech to British citizens. - Pamela Geller 
  • This is what the United States should have been doing from the very first with our foreign policy. Instead of funding, dictators, terrorist regimes, etc., we should have been exporting and rewarding political freedom.
  • There should have been no foreign funding that wasn’t tied to political rights ie freedom of speech, freedom of expression, and equality for all before the law.
