Any kind of a trade war, as an example what’s going on between China and the US just now, is easily comparable to a game of chicken. And, as Captain Bart Mancuso suggested in the Tom Clancy novel Hunt for Red October, the hard part about playing that game is knowing when to flinch.
I’ll say this right up front, I’m inclined to believe that China is not going to win this fight. The already fragile Chinese economy has fallen on serious hard times even by those lights within the last few weeks.
Relative to what China was shipping out as little as a few months ago, absolutely nothing is flowing following Donald Trump’s terrace taking effect and the bite is being felt.
I’m seeing reports from all over China but Southern China in particular that containers are piling up at a rate never before seen in places like Shanghai, and Guangdong.
This is causing problems for China on many fronts, the two largest of which are the domestic economy which has been on the verge of collapse for over a year now. The other is China’s appetite for military buildup. No product being shipped, means huge financial losses for the CCP, which in turn means that money for military projects isn’t happening.
Chinese trade policy for the last few decades has basically prohibited us goods from reaching that market. Meanwhile, China’s been raking in a huge amount of cash from selling their goods here. That cash flow is now non-existent and they’re going to have to react, if they want to save their internal economy and get their military aspirations back on target.
My read is that they’re going to have to do it soon before they lose everything. Thing is, they know this. So it’s down to being able to make it happen in a way that allows them to save face.
# Several times now I’ve noticed people claiming that Trump’s tariffs are causing a worldwide recession. But think about it now, if that’s true doesn’t that mean they’ve been living off of our money?
# Consider that the biggest heroes the Democrats have right now are two murderers one named Karmelo, and the other named Luigi, an illegal that happens to be a MS-13 gang member, and finally a Hamas supporter.
# It interests me that we have yet to see any of the people screaming about bringing the Salvadorian MS-13 member… The wife abuser, the drug dealer back to the ‘states, have volunteered to house him in their home. Not one.
# Ponder the spectacle of Bernie Sanders, devoted socialist, spending $221,000, on private jets while protesting what he called “the oligarchy”.
#
# I see the Democrats floating the name of Liz Chaney as a possible presidential nominee. Talk about hitting the bottom of the barrel!!! Now the question comes, can she run for president while she’s in prison?

I shouldn’t support this man, because he is a racist? But, he received the Ellis Island award along with Rosa Parks. For his efforts in knocking down the racial bias in construction practices in New York City, hiring more minorities?
I shouldn’t support this man, because he will put me back in chains? But, was the biggest supporter of the NAACP. Donating over $825,00 over 20 yrs?
I shouldn’t support this man, because he is not a friend to celebrities? But, when Jennifer Hudson’s family was slaughtered by her brother inlaw. This man was the ONLY celebrity that came to her aid. PAID for the entire funeral for all three (3)…Her mother, brother and nephew. And, put Jennifer up at Trump Tower’s downtown Chicago? FOR FREE! Wow…
I shouldn’t support this man, because
He invokes God? When we had eight(8) yrs of a President that NEVER made a reference to God?
I shouldn’t support this man, because over 25 years. He has quietly donates $10k to each fallen first responders families, who loved ones KILLED in the line of duty?
I shouldn’t support this man, because he will not be a friend to Israel? When he was the FIRST President to move our U.S. Embassy to the holy land of Jerusalem, keeping his word?
I shouldn’t support this man, because he stands between us and SOCIALISM? He vowed to the world, that we will NEVER be a socialist nation?
I shouldn’t support this man, because he wants to bring industries BACK to America? And, restore our dependence on AMERICAN MADE products? that’s a bad thing?
If this is YOUR argument? Then I am HONORED to stand with an extraordinary person who is putting AMERICANS FIRST. President Trump, is the right man to lead our country out of our most difficult times. He IS that man I am HONORED to support…..
HAPPY EASTER MR. PRESIDENT. I STAND WITH YOU, NOW & ALWAYS #MAGA #WALKAWAY

So Harvard researchers are going to kill the puppies if we don’t keep giving them money?
This story makes me mindful of this cover:
Aw, those poor puppies are going to get killed. This is a defense based in emotional reaction. Which of course, ignores the even more emotional question about what happens to them if they remain alive in the hands of the white lab coats.
And just think, all of this because Harvard can’t keep its anti-semites under control.
Loading Up on Popcorn to Watch Trump Break Harvard.
“No one on the Right has even taken a brief, easy run at the grifters
in Academia before. President Trump is going after them and their money hard. There’s a lot at stake here. The rot in Academia is so deep that
getting rid of it without burning it all down (a guy can dream) can’t be
done with halfhearted measures.”
Well, precisely. And the fact is the same could be said about all facets of government.
I’ve said this and many times before and will continue saying it
The worst thing you can do the most politicians is actually solve a problem. That’s because once you solve that problem they lose the ability of demagoging it.
Which in turn is why the establishment of both parties are losing their minds… Trump unlike those establishment critters who have only been paying lip service to the problems we face, is actually doing what he said he was going to do and solving the problems that are important to the American people.
No reason for the trip in any of these stories but the most obvious conclusion to draw is that the DOJ is getting close to him on something.
This means two things. Expect some fireworks very soon involving him. It also means that the Pam Bondi has at least one leaky personnel problem to address. It’s short, somebody inside the DOJ tipped him off.
This thing is developing fast. Just the News, reports:
William J. Pulte, the director of the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), made the referral Monday to Attorney General Pam Bondi and her deputy Todd Blanche, and attached evidence he said corroborated earlier media reports alleging irregularities in a series of loans James obtained, including for a property in Virginia.
The amount of corruption they are showing us should anger every American.
There is no room in this country for political violence.
Here’s the guy, in the hood, who fire bombed Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and his family as they slept.
You probably won’t see anything more about this guy and if you do it it’ll be the briefest of stories just to say they did mention it.
This nonsense has been going on for quite a while of course.
We all watched in disbelief as the BLM riots unfolded, as a recent example. Thing is, this kind of politically based violence goes back
much further than that.
But now, think… When was the last time we saw this kind of political violence from the right?
The answer of course is : We haven’t, at least certainly not recently.
No, it’s almost invariably from the left and normally during times of desperation for the left… And certainly, a < 30% approval rating for Democrats would be enough to create such desperation.
As I mentioned earlier in the day, I have reached a point where I am convinced that mental illness is involved.
The interesting aspect of this specific event
to me however, is the anti-semitism. We all know that the left has a tendency to eat its own eventually, and this seems to be one such case.
The only wrinkle here is that Shapiro while unquestionably being
leftist, is also Jewish, and therefore the attack. In this case the anti -Semitism seems to have won out even over Shapiro being a dyed in the wool leftist himself. (I note with interest the similarity between this situation, and Chuckles Schumer who is now looking forward to being
primaried… And is behind it last count by 19 or 20 points. (How much of that move is because Schumer is jewish, I wonder?)
That’s the problem with using the mentally challenged to pursue your political goals… Occasionally your own will get caught in the proximity of the blast.
As for the thought processes of the perpetrator, here’s to consider:
* Reports have his mobile phone being recorded at 39 different Kamala Harris, antifa, and Hamas events.
*He claims the attack was in response to what Shapiro supposedly wants to do to the Palestinian people.
So claiming that this guy is anything but a stone hard leftist simply doesn’t wash.
Which, in turn, means that the mainstream media won’t touch it.
So it is that I’m always amused when the usual suspects start claiming that their rhetoric and their violence are having a negative effect on Tesla sales. The Tesla brand is over because of the lefts objections to Elon Musk. Etc etc, bull squat, bull squat.
As usual, the line being fed to Us by such critters, is simply untrue. Here it is, gang:
TESLA OUTSOLD THE NEXT 10 EV BRANDS COMBINED IN Q1 2025
Tesla remained far ahead of the competition in Q1 2025, selling 128,100 EVs — more than the next 10 brands combined.
The Model Y and Model 3 continued to lead the charts, showing Tesla’s strong grip on the U.S. electric vehicle market.
Overall, EV sales in the U.S. grew to nearly 300,000 units, with Tesla driving the momentum forward.

I’ve recently arrived at that conclusion independently, but the more I research this, the more evidence for it comes to light.
A couple of years ago the Washington Times reported that…
White liberals are more prone to mental health disorders than
individuals who identify as conservative or moderates, according to a
Pew Research Center survey.Sixty-two percent of Whites who classify
themselves as “very liberal” or “liberal” have been told by a doctor
they have a mental health condition, as compared to 26% of conservatives
and 20% of moderates, the study found.Young White people who identified as “very
liberal” were almost one and a half times more likely to report mental
health problems than those who considered themselves “liberal.”
The prestigious magazine Psychology Today confirms this:
Previous research in political psychology has suggested that people with conservative political attitudes tend to have better physical health than their liberal counterparts (Chan, 2019) (which I discussed in more detail in a previous post).
A more recent study (Kirkegaard, 2020) found that political ideology
may also be relevant to mental health, as people who are more liberal,
especially those identifying as “extremely liberal,” are more likely to
have mental health problems.
That mental illness is continuously fed by outlets such as MSNBC in the form of hysterical, paranoic, and vitriolic nonsense. As an example:
Increasingly we are seeing violence being perpetrated on people the left doesn’t like for whatever reason. Been watching them acting for the last several years, and I’m beginning to believe very seriously that they don’t really have any reasons, which is why they are impervious to reason.
Here’s an example of such calls to violence that just popped up in my feed this morning.
As disturbing as that is, the reality is even more disturbing than that. In that direction lies the blood-soaked politics of people like Luigi Mangione for example. (And by extension, Taylor Lorenz.)
How many times are we going to watch as leftist ideology drives these mental midgets into attempting to assassinate Donald Trump for example? On the other hand how many assassination attempts did you see against Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden?
Sorry but no matter how you slice this, violence is increasingly the Hallmark, and the exclusive realm of the Democrat party.
Notice, please, that it’s nearly invariably the mentally disturbed making these attempts. It’s interesting to note that the leftist Media tries to capitalize on this by putting their own spin on it. As an example, I quoted Larry Correia over this most recent weekend:
Let’s take a moment to consider the difficult time the US news media has faced this week.
First, a white racist wannabe nazi murders his parents to fund his
assassination plot… Which they would normally love to cover… except it turns out he was planning to assassinate Trump, and the media can’t have Trump look sympathetic or unliked by nazis, so that story got dropped.Then, an unknown arsonist torched the governor’s mansion inhabited by a
Jewish democrat… So they got all excited hoping they’d finally gotten themselves a MAGA psycho… except it turns out the arsonist was a socialist BLM/Antifa/Free Palestine dude, so they had to promptly drop that story too.Don’t worry, American news media. I’m sure eventually a MAGA dude will do something horrible that you can flog with news coverage 24/7 for weeks on end. In the meantime you’ll just have to keep making crap up.
Obviously, examples of the psychologically challenged on the right, particularly those prone to violence, would seem to be in short supply at the very least, if they need to be fabricated to support the left’s case.
The first step towards solving any problem is proper problem identification. The problem we are facing at this point is a mental health crisis.

You know he’s right.
# Tomorrow’s headline: Elon Musk cures cancer. Democrats outraged, claiming the curing cancer is racist.
# I observe that the judges who didn’t seem to care about who we let into the country illegally, take an intense interest in keeping illegals from being deported. Particularly, violent criminals.
# It is probably time to let DOGE investigate any money Barack Obama has received from foreign governments.
#
# If Donald Trump said oxygen was good for you, Democrats and never Trumpers all over the country would stop breathing. I’d call that a win-win.
-The photos of them together are from before 2003.
-In 2004 Trump not only barred Epstein from Mar-a-lago estate, he also placed a bid on property (and won) in Palm Beach that Epstein was looking to purchase, out of spite.
-In 2005 Trump revealed Epstein secrets to PBSCO investigation.
-In 2006, two of Epstein’s victims confirmed they knew Trump had barred Epstein from his estate in mar-a-lago.
-In 2009 Bradley Edwards (Prosecutor on the Epstein case) made a public statement that Trump was the only individual who aided in the prosecutions against Epstein.
-Per victim testimonies on the newly released Epstein/Maxwell documents reveal that Trump was not seen on Epstein’s island or anywhere with Epstein.
This is where it gets fun…
-The newly released documents show that the FBI withheld victim evidence in 2009 and in 2014.
-Who was the President in 2009 and 2014?-Obama.
-Who was the FBI director in 2009?-Mueller

-Who led the Russia Collusion Hoax against Trump?-Mueller and Comey.
-Who was Muellers key witness during the Russian Collusion?-George Nadler
-Who was recently sentenced to 10 years in prison for Pedophilia/Dozens of imagines and footage of children being sexually abused?-George Nadler
-Who was the Secretary of State under Obama?-Clinton
-Who did Epstein victims list on the pedo island?-Clinton

-Who was Obama’s VP?-Biden
-Who was running for President against Trump?-Biden
-Who received campaign donations from Epstein’s law firm?-Kamala
-Who was Biden’s VP?-Kamala
Dems protect the predators. That is so sad.
Research and educate yourself because if you don’t wake up now, the victims of Epstein will never see justice for what they have endured.
