The first raising of the tariffs occurred early last week, up 400% to 10%. Then all the world and the leftists started screaming and dooming and threatening retaliation. Then Trump responded by putting on the reciprocal tariff rates. That caused the rest of the world, except China, to call for negotiations and wanting to come and talk and lower their tariffs. Trump response was to pause the reciprocal tariffs, but the 10% tariffs are still in place. That is a 400% increase from where our tariffs were originally. The 90 day pause is still a win, that is my point. Have a good day fren, I am just trying to add perspective and the great negotiating genius Trump has used to still make this all a win.

Before all this began, our tariffs were at 2.5%. Trump raised them to 10% then all the complaining and dooming and threats of retaliation occurred. Trump then put up the reciprocal tariffs based on what each country had on our imports. Trumps pause to allow those who did not retaliate and showed a desire to negotiate only brought the tariffs back to the 10% which is now being collected. Trump raised the tariffs universally 400% and you call that "surrendering". You clearly are not seeing the "Art of the Deal" that is being used.

Still banned, did a few appeals with no results. Had to make another account. I was banned for sharing the NY Post Hunter laptop story. Possibly for sharing some other Q stuff as well, not really sure, was never given a specific reason.

Hopefully these revocations of security clearances are to prevent them from seeing the actions bring instituted to start the incoming indictments that will be forthcoming.

Because all of the people on the lists are being surveilled and their actions (computers, phones, etc) are being monitored to be used against them, and to keep them from fleeing future prosecution. Release the threat of release and see how the rats scramble.

Japan has a 98% ethnic purity. The prisons are different mainly due to the monoculture. Wouldn't work in the USA. Mental institutions and prisons also serve distinctly different populations.

That is a sure way to cause an increase in inflation. Use the money to pay down the national debt.

Its below zero up here in the great white north, just did a 190 degree sauna last night and jumped into the snow and did snow angels afterwards. GREAT exhilarating feeling, keeps us all healthy up here in the Northern Rockies.

Well over 40 here, since the early 80's or earlier. My dad was former MI and was influential in me questioning everything. GHWB picked for VP was when I knew it was all rigged.

Same here, grew up in late 60s and 70s, can't remember ever having a key to the house and it wasn't until the late 70s and 80s that the house was locked when we left. I am lucky enough now to live outside of a small rural community in a rural state and do not lock my doors unless I am leaving for overnight. While at home my keys are all in my vehicles, but I live on a private road with great neighbors, with 3 of 8 properties on the road being Marine Corps vets, we are very aware of who comes and goes.

The feds destroyed, jailed, filed bogus charges and demonized all of the militias in the 90's and most disbanded went into hiding. I am not sure if trying to start or join one would be a good idea or just make you a target. Form neighborhood/ community alliances behind the scenes and keep a low profile. I am in one of the Wild West states and my neighborhood had 8 homes in a valley about 800 acres or so and we are all close and got each others backs. 3 of us are Marine vets, and a couple Army vets and Navy and Air Force as well. I know if anything goes down here we are all ready to defend and keep the peace in our neck of the woods. That is the safest way as far as I am concerned, the feds seem to have such a surveillance apparatus that any attempts to organize are infiltrated and stopped.

optics, feeble ol Joe has been an act and diversion all along. I don't think they think the dems will win this time and damage control from any investigations in the next administration can be done with the stroke of the pardon pen. That and the ability to pardon himself is questionable.

he has to resign so Kamala can give him and the other family members and dems a pardon. Part of the plan all along I think.
