Thoughts About China Attacking Taiwan... By Dan Zoernig

I think China will attack Taiwan at some point in the near future. 

Near future is a relative term, of course, because it could mean anything from next weekend to five years from now. 

• But they are sending all the right signals and doing all the right things to foreshadow their intentions. 

They want that island badly, and they're probably not going to go away without trying to take it. 

At least as long as Xi is still breathing.
So, I guess the first question I have is, "Why didn't they do it while Biden was president?"...

This makes sense!-----Here's When Canada Will Cave on Trump's Tariffs Matt Margolis

I have no doubt that Canada will cave to Trump on tariffs.
The question is: when? 

“Shark Tank” star Kevin O’Leary expressed confidence that the ongoing trade tension between Canada and the U.S. would eventually lead to a resolution, and he even predicted when...
O’Leary emphasized the importance of distinguishing between the “noise” of political rhetoric and the underlying “signal” that points toward economic cooperation...

• O’Leary argued that a combined economic effort between the U.S. and Canada could pose a significant challenge to China. “If you combine those economies… it would be much stronger against China if there were no tariffs between Canada and the United States,” he said.

The logic behind this argument lies in the historical and economic interdependence of the two countries. According to O’Leary, Canada’s economy has been deeply tied to the U.S. for over a century, with 75% of Canada’s output sold to the U.S. for more than 120 years...

• O’Leary predicted that Canada will wait until after Canada’s upcoming election, which is set to take place in about five weeks, before caving to Trump on tariffs...

Sharia law incoming? Radical Islamists building 402-acre Muslim compound in Texas | Blaze Media

Sharia law incoming? Radical Islamists building 402-acre Muslim compound in Texas | Blaze Media: 

The state of Texas is now investigating the project for Fair Housing Act violations, because the project was clear about the preference of selling only to people of the Muslim faith, which is not legal.

The compound has also been sent a cease-and-desist letter from the Texas Funeral Service Commission for allegedly operating an unlicensed funeral home.

“But there’s another issue at hand here,” Gonzales says. “And that is whether or not this compound plans to enact Sharia law, because of course, Sharia is directly from the Quran, which is the Muslims' religious book.”

Trump's Popularity SURGES Four Points After Unleashing 'Liberation Day' Tariffs: Daily Mail | The Gateway Pundit | by Paul Serran

Trump appears to be increasingly more popular than before he levied these tough measures.

After the meltdown in the markets in the last few days, both the USAID-media and the Democrats were pretty sure that US President Donald J. Trump was about to pay a hefty political price for the sweeping, historical tariffs that he unleashed on the world on ‘Liberation Day’.

• As it often happens, it appears that they were wrong.

DailyMail.com/J.L. Partners heard over 1,000 registered voters conducted from March 31 to April 3 – and what they found is sending Globalists into a panic.
Daily Mail reported:

“The poll found that Trump’s approval rating rose to 53 percent, a 4-point increase over last week when it was 49 percent.”

Insurrection Barbie on X: The resistance is made up of a professional agitator class / X 

These protests today are not organic. 

All 1300 of them have been preplanned by the same six Democrat led and funded NGOs. 

The resistance is made up of a professional agitator class, whose only purpose is to engage in destabilizing and Marxist revolutions. 

That is what they learn how to do and that is what they implement. 

• None of these people have any idea what they’re even protesting or what the pre-printed signs they are required to carry mean. 
• Their purpose is to psych you out and make it seem like the whole country is not behind this president and his agenda, but that is a lie.

So many crooked NGOs on the left!-----Major DEI Non-Profit Files For Bankruptcy After Bosses Allegedly Stole Millions in Donor Funds | The Gateway Pundit | by Ben Kew

The National Diversity Council (NDC)l filed for bankruptcy earlier this month after its board members filed a lawsuit accusing founder R. Dennis Kennedy and other top employees of siphoning off millions in funds for their own benefit.

The lawsuit states:
...Defendants have misappropriated donor funds in numerous ways, including by unilaterally paying themselves large salaries, paying themselves as contractors, and paying non-NDC entities money that was then earmarked for the Defendants...

• Despite the severe allegations, Kennedy remains a prominent and respected figure in Democratic circles and will next month hold a conference featuring Bill Clinton and Oprah Winfrey...
• Meanwhile, the NDC describes itself as “dedicated to fostering diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) across all sectors of society.”...

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...

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...
