The sky is falling reporting is astounding but what should we otherwise expect? I watched reports from the leftist congress last night and they sure haven’t lost their proficiency in false narratives!
Corporate media’s reaction is unhinged panic. Yesterday, for example, the Washington Post’s top story ran under the buffoonish headline, “Trump vowed to fix the economy. His voters are still waiting.” As if anyone expected Biden’s disastrous four-year economic wrecking ball to be reversed in the first ten weeks. But miraculously, it’s defying expectations and already reversing, so corporate media has rolled out the classic narrative strategy of trying to undermine consumer confidence, which you can expect them to continue enthusiasticallydoing for the next four years.
“(1/2) The swamp always uses the threat of a shutdown to cram more spending through. A responsible approach would be to send 12 separate spending bills to the Senate. I’ve been saying this for years.”
“(2/2) SCOTUS has ruled that a line item veto is unconstitutional, but Congress could give the President a similar kind of flexibility to veto categories of spending by sending 12 separate bills to him. I suggested this in 2018. It also avoids an all-or-nothing shutdown crisis.
It was Kevin, I think, who mentioned that there is a difference between Reuters and Thomson-Reuters. He also explained that that bit at the bottom -“ACTIVE SOCIAL ENGINEERING . . .LARGE SCALE SOCIAL DECEPTION” was not what it sounds like. If it were, they obviously would not have it listed for all to see.
Hanson’s whining is not really about tariffs but a list of grievances against Mexico
1 China does ferry raw materials to Mexico to assemble and bring into the US tariff free. But enacting tariffs on Mexico won’t change China’s approach — just the third country. Chinese countries already use the Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia etc as low wage assembly and textile locations. China simply has to reroute more work to those countries instead of Mexico. The supply chains are already established
2. The USMCA was signed by Trump in his first term – he called it a great treaty yet now he’s complaining. Its due to be renegotiated next year. Why not wait? Why break treaties and establish yourself as unreliable?
3. Mexican migration to the south west US was well established before the current treaty, it goes back at least 100 years if not longer. Free trade or tariff barriers won’t change that.
4. Remittances and money transfers are hard to control but there are banking regulations one can put in place. However, Trump eliminated some of the ones Biden put in place to stop money laundering. And by establishing or at least support crypto currency, Trump has made it even easier
5. Mexican culture and consulates etc are vibrant in the south west US for one very simple reason — it used to be Mexican and even in the treaty to end the war, Mexican Americans were given rights. Annexing territories has consequences even 150 years later.
6. Besides the fact migrants contribute more than they take, all the subsidies and gov’t allowances could be eliminated if the gov’t mandated a living wage. Full time workers should not need a gov’t subsidy to get by — that’s indirect corporate welfare. And if you want less migrants working — make it harder to hire migrants. Its incredibly difficult in western Europe and Canada to hire migrants — gov’t paperwork enforces rules.
Judges reversing DOGE orders are to be expected — they are trying to reinforce rule by law. Yes, the executive has the ability to do a lot of things by it must abide by the law not be the law.
Yesterday, I described the possible motivation USAID might have for shredding documents. AJ stated I was justifying their beheaviour — not really, I was stating their rationale but not arguing if it was right or wrong.
However, why shouldn’t they ignore the rules? The executive hasn’t followed the rule of law in firing the employees or shutting down programs. The programs and funds were already approved by the legislature, which is its role. The executive can’t shut it down — it can however, negotiate for the next budget year which it is doing right now.
I suspect the back and forth between the judicial and executive branch will continue. In the end, Trump may pull an Andrew Jackson and ask the courts to enforce their own rulings — and millions will cheer dispite booing a hypothetical democratic president acting the same way.
“Let a man’s zeal, profession, or even principles as to political measures be what they will, if he is without personal integrity and private virtue, as a man he is not to be trusted.” — The Rev. John Witherspoon, signer of the Declaration of Independence, minister-scholar and president of the College of New Jersey (later Princeton University)
“The President fired thousands of probationary federal employees, which is his right.
Their recourse is to file their individual claims with the Merit Systems Protection Board.
Yet leftwing activists ran to a San Francisco leftwing activist judge, who thinks he has the power to force the President to rehire tens of thousands against his will.
Chief Justice John Roberts has allowed activist judges to sabotage the President’s core Article II executive powers.”
“Several House Republicans are set to introduce articles of impeachment against federal judges who are blocking critical policies from President Trump & Elon Musk!”
”A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly.
But the traitor moves among those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the galleys, heard in the very hall of government itself.
For the traitor appears not traitor – he speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and wears their face and their garments, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men.
He rots the soul of a nation – he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city – he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist.
