What problem is Trump's new global 10% tariff meant to solve?
If it's about leverage, ask: How much leverage do you get from a tariff that disappears in 150 days?
If it's onshoring: Who builds new factories based on tariff that disappear before the factory is built?
It's a tax. That's all it is.

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

I asked 404 to publish my legal name in this article. Since grok doxxed me in early Feb, AI scrapers have reproduced my legal name on hundreds more websites, many of which have wildly inaccurate claims (my net worth is $5 million??! I wishπ«©). This way I can have *some* control over the narrative.

Everyone should proceed on the assumption that Donald J. Trump is proven to be a child rapist in the Epstein files.
If that assumption were incorrect, Trump would have released all the files by now to prove his innocence.

Remember when Epsteinβs brother said he had nothing to do with his brotherβs operation? That was a lie. Independent media is doing all the heavy lifting and has uncovered that is brother controlled apartments that women and children were brought to, to be abused and STILL DOES in NY.
