1) President Trump paused for 90 days tariffs to be imposed on the rest of the world but raised the tariff on China to 125%. Stocks went crazy with the DOW jumping 8 points and the NASDAQ had its highest one-day gain in history, 12 points. Steve Eisman, who predicted "The Big Short," says Trump will "pretty much get what he wants." IF, but only if, the countries negotiate successfully, they will face a 10% across the board tariff. The stiff-necked ChiComs, apparently thinking (correctly) they are facing an Extinction Level Event, raised tariffs an additional 84% earlier, forcing Trump to hike ChiCom tariffs again to 154%. We can do this all night long. 2) Already Canada and the EU have caved. Canada will negotiate asap, while the EU has matched Trump's 90-day pause to work things out. My own view is that they will need a little more pain until we get their minds right.

3) The House has passed a bill limited the scope of useless district court judges like Ballsburger. Not likely to pass the senate, though.

4) Rutabaga's corrupt administration held secret talks with the ChiComs over the spy balloon before making the news public or shooting it down. 5) Fascistbook is in heap big trouble again after a whistleblower said she witnessed the company repeatedly undermine American security in dealings with the ChiComs.

6) A dogspooge named Krebs who was part of the 2020 steal lost his security clearance and now is under investigation for, well, in Trump's words, "treason." Course the New York Times claims he's being investigated for resisting "Trump's lies." and of course the Slimes is a major lying propaganda organ not even worthy of Baghdad Bob, Tokyo Rose, or Izvestia. Another exec order went over the election stealing Dominion by targeting its lawyer. These were names not on everyone's list, and it Oh, and Joe Kent, in his confirmation hearing, said January 6 (Patriot Day) is under investigation as a fedsurrection fomented by undercover FBI ag
