Trump Publishes Enemies List To White House Website, And It’s Just Democrats Speaking TheΒ Truth God, what I wouldn't give for another Nixon administration. Sure, it was corrupt and built from the ground up to punish the opposing party for being the opposing party. But that administration was limited and restrained by things like competent oversight, a functioning court system that wasn't constantly undermined by five justices who want to do all of their work…

It's my birthday today, and this was NOT the gift that I wanted.....a Project 2025 launch date.

This is more just straight up lying, "I have nothing to do with it"....You cannot deny that he lied to get votes now.

Emergency room care, is not healthcare.

It's essentially triage.

The shutdown was never about that.

Republicans are just straight up lying, and not even that well.

You can't tariff IP.

He tried to state he would do this 6 months ago. Nothing has changed.

This is a digital sales tax, which he can't implement, as taxes can only be raised by Congress.

This is just stupid delusions. It isn't happening, because it literally can't.

It's not inconclusive.....STOP LYING....the evidence is VERY strong that there's no link. You say "not backed by science" which means it's CONCLUSIVE.....

I don't anticipate CPI or CPE to start to fall, just based on some reduced PMI data. It's just not realistic. Even if there's lowered demand, it's basically impossible to make up for these tariff input costs that are being accounted for as soft costs right now.

We could try to import a good, and by the time it's produced, packaged and shipped, the tariff amount may have wildly fluctuated.

So our pricing on our initial PO, could in no way calculate the tariff accurately.

A time of entry charge is the ONLY way to do this properly.

I work in electronics, with IC distribution, and all major distribution channels are doing the same. They're even putting it on their websites and stating this is how pricing will be issued.

We have to do it this way, because tariff amounts have been unstable.

As a wholesale trader, I'm watching this, and tracking our own internal pricing, and we've seen increases from foreign companies as the Dollar has weakened, so I can attest to the 4% increase, as that seems accurate, but tariffs to our customer base is just not included.

If we see PMI continue to fall, and CPI or CPE continue to rise, this will be the reasoning, as the tracked data on PMI, just isn't capturing accurate cost measurements anymore, because it wasn't set up to get the soft costs of transportation and fees and taxes. It only tracks the sales price on PO

Our company has been required by most customers, to list them as a completely separate item.

If you're measuring price increases, you're not measuring the effects of tariffs.

This means consumer pricing could continue to rise, even through PMI goes down.

This is where traditional measurements of data fail. PMI is a price measurement tool, but tariffs aren't included in most pricing structures, as they're done as secondary line item charge.

I work in distribution, and most companies selling wholesale, aren't calculating tariffs into pricing.

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down. The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a β€œdeep state” probe in early 2025.

This needs to be the biggest story in the country right now. There will be records of all of this in the FBI, and if they can't or won't produce them, the coverup should take EVERYONE down.

I think today, we all owe Mr Robinson and the Bishop of his ward in Utah a big thank you.

They may have saved this nation today. Not hyperbole.

We were on a path to rip ourselves apart. It was probably the hardest decision of their lives. It will affect the family forever.

I'm in electronics distribution, this is standard. Arrow, Avnet, Digikey, Mouser.....etc....large wholesale companies, are sending line item surcharges for the tariffs, they're not calculated into Price points, so PPI inflation shrinking a miniscule amount, isn't surprising.

You think that's healthy looking? He looks worse today than he did last week. His hair is a mess, there's bright spots on his face, and his outfit is completely disheveled. I'm not sure who you're looking at, but he does NOT look healthy.

All they said was interest accruing was the excessive part. The original fine amount will be revised to not include interest.

They just ruled that he didn't have to pay interest that they were adding to the amount. The penalty is still valid and just revised back to the original amount sans interest.

Trump is NOT a master negotiator. Stop lying.

Master negotiators go into negotiations with a determined set outcome, and move their opponents closer to their desired outcome through calculated moves.

Trump is NOT that.

Agree, that's absolutely true. GDP calculations, though, you take economic output, and then subtract imports. So if you import less, you can have lower economic output, and still show a GDP increase. That's all I'm saying.

It does when you take into account imports as the negative to GDP, and by reducing imports MASSIVELY, you're not seeing REAL GDP growth, but rather lower reductions to the GDP. So percentage wise, we're growing, but actual growth is not really there if we were to look at the bassline.

It will be less clear by the minute. 12 countries get letters....there were 50+ some on his board he showed off, so what about them?

We also still have China "negotiating" but not really.....

There's no clarity coming, just more uncertainty.

America’s Incarceration Rate Is About to Fall Off a Cliff Long sentences and recidivism kept prison populations high for decades, but prisons are now starting to empty.

Did you know, that the prison system in the US is about to be empty?

And guess what, it has NOTHING to do with deportations.

It's because kids just don't like doing crime like the good ole days.

Violent crime has been falling since the 90's. The population in jail is now nursing home age.

The first American β€˜scientific refugees’ arrive in France Aix-Marseille University is wooing researchers who feel targeted by the Trump administration.

New term for 2025.

Scientific Refugees.

Scientists are fleeing persecution in the US.

That's a real thing that's happening today.
