Do any of my Boomer friends recall the exquisite survival training we all received in grade school during the Cold War, before Russia and the U.S. became besties? Crawl under your tiny, highly-flammable desk … put your head between your knees … cover your head with your arms? Time to practice again.

Why I am up? Justice Sotomeyer comment “The implication of the govt’s position is noncitizens AND US citizens could be taken off streets, forced onto planes, confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress…This Nation's laws is designed to prevent, not en-able, their rise.” Chilling!

Trump tariffs tip world into trade war abyss - www.reuters.com/breakingview...

reuters.comBreakingviews - Trump tariffs tip world into trade war abyssDonald Trump is pushing the global economic order to the breaking point. Unveiling new tariffs on Wednesday, the president said that he was being “kind” by only raising levies to half the level that his administration reckons peers place on U.S. imports. Consumers, businesses and world leaders are unlikely to feel much tenderness. Starting at 10% for all nations but rising higher for a bewildering array of trade partners – including 34% for China, 20% for the EU and 26% for India – they bring U.S. trade duties to their highest rates since the Great Depression. Top trading partners Canada and Mexico will be subject to their own bespoke regime. The stated twin goals of raising trillions in revenue while forcing manufacturing onshore are irreconcilable, complicating any last-minute attempts to negotiate a climb-down. In the meantime, the damage will be significant.

Someone should tell Marco Rubio, DHS Secty Kristi Noem and Border czar Tom Homan that Trump's pardons will only protect them from being prosecuted in the US for federal crimes. It won't stop then from being prosecuted for crimes against humanity. And that is where they are heading.

Well, I guess I’ll be keeping my 2019 Honda Hybrid for a bit longer now! US car buyers face higher prices, less choice under Trump's tariffs

reuters.comUS car buyers face higher prices, less choice under Trump's tariffsMajor automakers can deal with President Donald Trump's tariffs on U.S. auto imports in a number of ways, but all of them lead to higher prices, fewer choices of models or limits on features for consumers, industry experts said.

Good people are so tired of traitors masquerading as patriots, of the treasonous continually waving the flag, of hateful people peddling a God of love, of human beings with no empathy pretending they care about the sanctity of life. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-exhaus...

Straight out of the Project 2025 playback where they discuss how to evade FOIA & hide their agenda from the public to avoid scrutiny and subpoenas. The “Houthi PC small group” didn’t arise from ignorance of the law or incompetence. They just got caught.
