The reality is when you eliminate cheap labor (immigrants), and couple that with higher cost of goods (tariffs), you are creating an environment ripe for inflation.

Replacing Powell because he won’t drop rates, is like pouring gasoline on the inflation fire.

So basically we are trading medicines for the poor, for weapons of war.

It was never really about cutting government spending or balancing the budget.

Trump fundamentally does not understand what trade is. We do not subsidize Canada, we buy their goods.

This is like saying if we stay at Trump’s hotel, we are subsidizing Trump.

The bad-mouthing of California by the GOP should fuel Californians to take action.

1. Gerrymander California to take the House away from the GOP.

2. Federal payments should be net-neutral, this will bankrupt several red states.

3. Use the savings for universal healthcare and free college tuition.

California’s economy is heavily reliant on migrant workers to keep farming production high and prices low. This is one of the major reasons Trump is threatening the state.

California has some of the most competitive districts in America, avoiding heavy Gerrymandering, unlike most Southern States. If Trump wants to play hardball with California, gloves should come off.

By redrawing their maps California could single handedly take away the GOP majority in the House.

California pays almost $82 billion more in taxes than it receives back from the federal government. For years almost every natural disaster in Red States have been subsidized by California. The GOP should be careful who they are poking.

In 2020 Trump issued an executive order banning TikTok.

The courts overturned saying he overstepped.

In 2024 the GOP tried again to ban TikTok since college kids used it to get unfiltered election information.

Trump wins and now pivots to support TikTok acting like he supported the entire time.

Costco faces MAGA boycott β€” Newsweek Costco is facing threats of a boycott from supporters of President-elect Donald Trump after executives refused to dismantle diversity, equity and inclusion policies at the request of shareholders.

MAGA is planning on boycotting Costco. Costco should probably pull the bulk tater-tot casserole from their freezer section to prepare for the attack.

Let’s say Trump follows through and imposes 25% tariffs on Canada, basically decimating their economy.

Is the long term idea to have them become susceptible to control by the US? Kind of like a land grab like he sees his buddy Putin do?

Elon Musk spends $277 million to back Trump and Republican candidates Elon Musk was the largest donor in the 2024 election cycle, spending at least $277 million to back President-elect Donald Trump and other Republican candidates.

What did Musk get for his investment?

- Tariffs on China, Mexico, Canada to reduce Tesla competition
- Military contracts for Starlink
- Federal spending on Space X
- Favorable tax policy for his industries
- Power over a weak president and influence with Russia

President Biden pardons his son Hunter Biden β€” NBC News The decision, which was first reported by NBC News, is a reversal for the president, who repeatedly said he would not use his authority to pardon his son or commute his sentence.

Im sure Republicans will try to use this. I hope they do. It will open up the door to remind America how Donald Trump abused the pardoning power for political favors, some of which went back to jail committing more crimes.

My newest theory:

Tariffs are passed. Companies see their sales decline passing on tariffs, or profits fall if absorbed. This leads to their value (stocks) falling.

Investors move their money to a crypto grift, with no financial backing, driven by pure speculation, with Trump releasing coins.

Even better. Your entire computer is made from parts from overseas. The price of that computer will go up if tariffs are passed.
