We can’t resign to the buffoon and his lackeys….saner people will finally step up….I PRAY!

‘Like taking candy from a baby’ used to be an expression that intended to express contempt for someone who actually would do that.

Now, when someone steals money from children who have cancer, there is great admiration for and imitation of someone who actually did that as a way to get even more money.

Even more money because he was ‘really, really, rich’ at the time.

Magats believe he was really smart to have done that. Hardly anyone else would think of it.

Resignation (sitting and waiting until it’s over) is my feeling now!

Regurgitation seems to fit the Democrat narrative quite nicely through the use of fabricated propaganda to spread their lies of fiction and fantasy. …hiccup, urp..

I highly recommend Kevin Necessary at facebook dot com /kevin.necessary .

Today’s “Little Dog Lost” may have the greatest message for us.

Reeducation as we will have to learn Russian or reeducation that Dictator DJT is in power and we all have to submit.

The Resistance lives. Someone has to be ready to fix it after prez, oops, I mean special government employee Musk tears apart that which he has no idea about.

As long as working people vote for robber barons, we’ll continue wandering in the wilderness. Scolding them is ineffective. Some will wise up and resurrect unions. Others will go the grave for the benefit of their feudal lords.

If there was no such thing as Fenatyl,Trump would use Kellogg’s Rice Krispies as the boogeyman.

Look at those dang foreigners,don’t look at me,the thief and the sex offender!!

South African racist fascist unelected Elon has control of the treasury, I would call that a fascist coup.

Reeducation will happen in what ever direction the puppet master muskox points it. Of course this can’t happen until the Dept of Education is dismantled and reshaped at the puppet master muskox’s bidding. If you look really close you can see that muskox is the producer, director and puppet master all rolled into one. But for now, since he owns tRump, he allows tRump to think he is in charge because it serves his purpose.

You’ve left out reflection. The Democrats won key Senate and House races across the country and had ensured the GOP in the House has a historically slim majority (by three seats). While the Senate GOP has a 55 seat majority (with 45 held by Dems). But they also are reflecting on how approximately 43% of eligible voters didn’t turn out. They need to do better to bring people out to the polls, knowing that the hard core MAGA voters would crawl over broken glass to vote. They are also finding their voices in the Capitol and elsewhere. Also, in a recent special election, a Democratic candidate won an Ohio State Senate seat in a district Trump won last November. And, the Democrats are already gearing up for the coming off-year races across the country. When there will be statehouse elections in about 30 states as well as the Governor’s races in NJ and VA. My hope is that the Democrats can win back the House and/or Senate in 2026 and the White House in 2028, and Trump/Vance will be seen as the anomaly.

And while MAGA celebrates Dear Leader’s great tariff “victory,” let’s face reality:

The markets tanked, and 47 blinked. So lets recap:

- Trump announces tariffs.- Allies turn against the U.S., launch boycotts on U.S. products and boo us at events.- Markets nosedive.- Trump caves.

The “deals”:

- Mexico agrees to do the same things they always do at the border to help the U.S. (including under Biden)—but ALSO get Trump to agree to work to stop weapons trafficking from the U.S. toMexico.- Trudeau agrees to do the same things they always do to help the U.S., but also says he’ll name a ‘fentanyl czar’ (despite the fact that barely any fentanyl at all comes from Canada to the U.S.)

Meme of the day shows Canada’s Trudeau on the phone speaking to Mexico’s Sheinbaum: “So I offered him what we’ve already been doing and he dropped the tariffs!”Sheinbaum: “OMG…SAME!”

So much WINNING!!!!

Didn’t Harris say we needed re-education? How about education? California test scores are in the toilet.

Is gas under $2/gal yet?

2 weeks in and it is regret. Much more of this could bring revolution.

More political whining from Stantis. Salty tears in black-and-white on my comics page, like a greenbooger.

This just in -

Mexico has suggested if US voters want to rid themselves of criminals and rapists, don’t put one of them in the Whitehouse.

That’s The Pro-Harris Theme!!

An Editorial from the TIMES COLONIST – Victoria, British Columbia

(Oh, for Trump supporters: That’s in Canada).

U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to pause for a month his imposition of a 25-per-cent tariff on nearly all Canadian goods does nothing to reduce the turmoil facing Canadians.

Have no doubt he will push us, and push us again, to try to grind more concessions out of Canada.

Never forget that he has said repeatedly that he wants to destroy our economy to force our great nation to become the 51st state.

Need we remind Trump that Canadian soldiers fought alongside Americans in two world wars, in Korea, in Desert Storm, and in Afghanistan? Does the word “ally” mean anything to this man?

Or is he simply the backyard bully his behaviour shows him to be? And more than that, a despoiler of his own economy?

Canada is America’s largest trading partner. We annually export more than C$600 billion in goods and services to the U.S., and import in turn around C$550 billion.

A 25-per-cent tariff on our exports would by itself mean a hefty price rise for American families.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s promise of retaliatory tariffs on American imports will hit Canadian businesses as well as Canadian consumers, undercutting our purchasing power. It will also hit Americans hard.

In a trade war, both countries suffer. There are estimates that the impact in Canada would match the 2008 recession, when GDP shrank by 3.3 per cent.

Making this entire act of lunacy more senseless still, Trump campaigned on a promise to reduce the cost of living for American families.

What comes next? What other concessions will Canada be asked to make?

Our federal government has already tightened border crossings in response to Trump’s complaints that fentanyl and illegal immigrants enter his country via Canada, and has promised to meet its financial commitments to NATO, another of Trump’s demands.(CONT’D)

(CONT’D)

While talks continue, it is important that Canada keeps its own retaliatory measures alive and visible on the table.

Premier David Eby has instructed the liquor board to stop importing American wines, beers and liquors from Republican states. Good. Let that stand.

Federal Liberal leadership contender Chrystia Freeland has suggested banning the import of Elon Musk’s Tesla vehicles. Also good. Let that stand as well.

There are diplomatic measures that Canada might adopt. The U.S. has an embassy in Ottawa and eight consular offices across the country.

If further discussions don’t succeed, send them all packing. That would, of course, result in Canadian diplomats being likewise ordered out.

Yet how much good has our diplomacy done us when this is the state of affairs we’ve reached?

We could even threaten to close Canada’s border with Alaska, in effect wrecking road-based haulage between that isolated state and the lower 48 states.

We might also consider appealing to our NATO allies to retaliate against the U.S. Article 5 of the NATO Charter states that an attack on one shall be considered an attack on all.

What Trump has threatened Canada with is no less than an attack. It is the threat of an economic war.

All of this is an exercise in madness, brought about by the delusions of a power-mad president. (CONT’D)

(CONT’D)

It has been suggested that what’s really going on here is that Trump has promised tax cuts, and that tariff revenues are his way of paying for them.

We’ll see what a further month of “negotiations” — a nice way to say “economic blackmail” — might achieve.

But the U.S. must know that Trump is a disgrace to his office, and an embarrassment to his country.

We can only hope that saner voices among our neighbours will prevail, and that Trump’s supporters will force the abandonment of his shameful behaviour toward a friend and long-time ally.

(Bold face mine)

I couldn’t have said it better myself – which is why it is here.

Reeducation, for sure. The Magats (aka, American Nazis) don’t regret their choice, nor the fact the rights of others are being taken away. With the Department of Education also on the chopping block, Magat schools will be dead on doing away with science and logic and turning the schools into mini-churches where only repeating Bible verses matter. I’ve been warning for years that the return of the Mason-Dixon is coming, and each executive order being passed seems to be bring that closer and closer to the truth. I fear a second Great Depression and Civil War simultaneously happening, while Magats desire nothing less.

Fun reading the leftist rants they maybe need a spa treatment

The United States Postal Service announced Tuesday night that it is temporarily suspending accepting packages sent from China and Hong Kong until further notice.

The suspension is effective immediately, the USPS said. Letters and flats are not included in the suspension, it said.

The postal service did not provide a reason for the suspension or say how long it expects it to last.

Earlier Tuesday, Beijing announced it would counter President Trump’s new 10% tariff on Chinese goods with retaliatory tariffs of its own. China said starting next Monday it would implement a 15% tariff on coal and liquefied natural gas products along with a 10% tariff on crude oil, agricultural machinery and large-engine cars imported from the U.S.

Mr. Trump says he plans to speak with Chinese President Xi Jinping in the coming days. CBS NEWS

I’ll meet with him in the coming days – two weeks tops!

I’m certain he has “concepts of a plan” . . . (sigh)
