The Spain, Portugal and France blackout caused by green energy. The [CB] will try to force empty shelves and try to convince the people that it’s Trump, this will fail. Retailers have been preparing and other nations will fill the gap. The fake news is pushing a recession, the numbers tell another story. Banks will be obsolete. Think Andrew Jackson. The [DS] players are now being held accountable for election interference. This is just the beginning, the narrative will continue until Trump and team shows how they over-through the US Gov and duly elected President in 2020. Trump has the [DS] exactly where he wants them and they are getting weaker and weaker.

EU Admits It’s Stuck Under US Tech Giants’ Thumb

  •  The European Union has admitted that it cannot break free from the dominance of US tech companies, Politico reported on Wednesday, citing the draft of the International Digital Strategy for Europe set to be released in June.
  • Brussels has reportedly admitted that freeing itself from the dominance of US tech companies is unrealistic, and that “cooperation will remain significant across the technological value chain.”
  • EU states remain dependent on US tech companies, and US President Donald Trump’s stance on Europe has the bloc fearing for its sovereignty in global technologies, including social media and cloud services. Another concern is linked to the ability of US law enforcement bodies to get access to data processed by Amazon, Microsoft and Google, the paper said.
  • The draft of the strategy also signals that the EU has very few fresh ideas that may help Europe become an important player in the global technology field, the paper added.

  •   “The International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) unequivocally condemns the recent tariffs that the Trump administration has imposed.”

    • [SOURCE]

  • All these moves are so transparently political, it almost makes you laugh.  However, that said, we are now in a better position to understand exactly how the Democrats and Deep State operatives will weaponize the supply chain along with their union orcs.
  • In the next phase of the anti-Trump tariff agenda, approximately 3 months from now it will begin, we will see/hear a constant drumbeat of empty shelves, missing parts and missing products.  Whether factually true, or whether the shortages are an outcome of a strategy by the ILWA to assist the shortage narrative, the overall objective will be to blame President Trump for everything from shortages of medicine to shortages of parts to fix, repair or maintain consumer products.

    • Trump to Sign Executive Order Providing Automakers Tariff Relief

  • President Donald Trump will sign an executive order on Tuesday relaxing some of his 25% tariffs on autos and auto parts.
  • The directive is the result of conversations directly with domestic auto manufacturers, a senior Commerce Department official said on a call with reporters.
  •  
  • The administration will offer automakers that finish their vehicles domestically a 15% offset of the cost of the tariffs. Automakers can choose how to allocate the offset.
  • The current 25% tariff leveled on imported cars will remain intact, but other similar tariffs, such as tariffs on steel and aluminum, will not stack on top of the 25% auto tariff.

     they’re concerned about the economic outlook. That’s not what firms do when the economy is shrinking.” “That’s what firms do when they believe in the future.”

  • The absolute key to the first quarter GDP result is to remember that ‘imports‘ are a deduction in the economic equation of Gross Domestic Product.  The GDP is the valuation of all goods and services produced in the USA *minus* the value of imports.
  • The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) releases the results of the first quarter GDP.  The overall economic growth seems low at 0.3% until you look at how U.S. companies responded in February and March to the tariff announcement.
  • Companies proactively purchased massive amounts of products in advance of the tariffs leading to an overall increase in imports of 41.3%.  Which results in a 5.3% deduction to GDP.  Every dollar of those imports is a deduction to the GDP equation, giving the false appearance of lower domestic production.
  • There was a massive surge in import goods purchases of 50.9% versus the prior period [Table 1, line 20].  That’s the largest periodic increase in import purchases I have ever seen.  Simultaneously, fixed asset investment in equipment for domestic production surged 22.5% [Table 1, line 11].
  • Put both of these metrics together and what you see are U.S. companies building consumer inventory from overseas (imports) while simultaneously preparing themselves to shift production into the USA.  The massive import purchases are a bridge to cover the time needed to shift the manufacturing from overseas to the USA.  This is exactly what we want to see.
  •  we can see that imports surged and led to a 5.03% deduction to the GDP equation.  Meaning if all things were equal without the Q1 surge in import purchases the GDP would have been +5.06%.
  • Meanwhile the impact of federal spending decreased 0.33% as President Trump makes the federal government smaller, and federal spending contribution less.  The federal government is getting smaller as a percentage of GDP.  Again, a very positive sign.
  • Investment in the USA is high.  MAGA working.
  • Imports are temporarily high, as companies prepare to purchase less from overseas.  MAGA working.
  • Following the increase in U.S. investment and following the increase in equipment purchasing; we will see an increase in jobs as a result of hiring Americans to use the equipment and create the products.  If the workforce tightens up (illegal alien deportation continues) and unemployment lessens, then pressure is created on wage rates as companies compete for workers.  Main Street starts winning again.

    • Andrew Jackson  eliminated the federal debt entirely by 1835, a unique moment in U.S. history. Tariffs were a significant revenue source during his presidency, but they weren’t the sole mechanism for achieving a zero-debt status.
    Jackson’s administration paid off the debt through a combination of factors:
  • Tariff Revenue: The Tariff of 1828 and subsequent tariffs generated substantial income, as they taxed imported goods heavily. By the 1830s, tariffs accounted for roughly 80-90% of federal revenue.
  • Land Sales: The sale of public lands, especially in the West, brought in significant funds, particularly during the land speculation boom of the 1830s.
  • Budget Surpluses: Jackson’s frugal fiscal policies, including cutting federal spending on internal improvements (like roads and canals), created surpluses that were used to pay down the debt.
  • Repayment Strategy: Jackson prioritized retiring the remaining Revolutionary War and War of 1812 debts, using surplus revenues to clear the balance.

    UNBELIEVABLE: Race-Baiting Biden Judge Orders Border Agents to NOT Detain Illegals, Including Violent Criminals, Unless They Have a Warrant  

  •  U.S. District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston issued an injunction on Tuesday barring Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents in the Eastern District of California from stopping illegal immigrants without a warrant or proving that the person is a threat to flee before they can get a warrant.
  • As the outlet notes, Thurston’s ruling comes after several individuals were arrested in January during Border Patrol’s “Operation Return to Sender.” This was just part of President Trump’s smashing success in removing illegal aliens from the interior while locking down the southern border.
  • The government also argued the lawsuit was moot because the U.S. Border Patrol has already issued guidance “detailing exactly when people may be stopped or arrested without warrants, and what rights detainees have after their arrest.”
  • But Thurston ignored their arguments, saying the policy’s new language in the new policy won’t guard against so-called ‘illegal stops.’ She added that the policy could also be changed again in the future.

    Signed, Sealed, Deported: USPS Ramps Up Efforts to Assist Trump Administration With Deportations
  •  the USPS’s storied Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) has joined forces with the mass deportation efforts of President Trump and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The USPIS is now apparently playing a major role in the intragovernmental DHS task force that is responsible for finding, detaining, and deporting illegals. The move makes a ton of sense as no other governmental or quasi governmental agency has more frequent contact with the public than does the USPS.
  • There are limits to what the USPIS can do to surveil its customers, but one way they are assisting with the administration’s deportation efforts is via their “mail covers” program. This program gives postal investigators broad powers to photograph the outside of letters and packages that are moving through the postal system. The USPIS can also share information with DHS officials that is collected through online accounts, mail-tracking systems, credit card transactions and IP addresses.
  • This isn’t the first time the USPIS has collaborated with the federal government in carrying out federal law enforcement efforts. As RedState reported last summer, the USPIS has also used its “mail covers” program to assist the National Security Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigations, and the Central Intelligence Agency in investigating certain crimes. This revelation rankled a bunch of U.S. Senators, who wrote a letter to Chief Postal Inspector Gary R. Barksdale that shed some light on the mysterious “mail covers” program:
  • Under one type of mail surveillance, known as “mail covers,” requesting agencies are provided with sender and recipient information for letters and parcels sent to or from a particular target that are delivered by USPS. USPIS coordinates these requests from law enforcement and intelligence agencies, and delivers the list of targets to USPS, which then conducts the surveillance.

    Free Speech Under Direct Attack in Texas: House Passes RINO Dade Phelan’s Orwellian Bill to CRIMINALIZE Political Memes Without a Government-Approved Disclaimer

  • The Republican-led Texas House has officially caved to the radical Left’s war on free speech—and shockingly, it’s being spearheaded by none other than the state’s own scandal-plagued former House Speaker Dade Phelan.
  • On Tuesday, House Bill 366 passed with bipartisan support, making it a potential crime in the state of Texas to share or distribute AI-generated and “altered media”—including political memes—without a government-approved disclaimer on political ads.
  • According to the bill:
  • “A person may not, with the intent to influence an election, knowingly cause to be published, distributed, or broadcast political advertising that includes an image, audio recording, or video recording of an officeholder’s or candidate’s appearance, speech, or conduct that did not occur in reality, including an image, audio recording, or video recording that has been altered using generative artificial intelligence technology, unless the political advertising includes a disclosure from the person or another person on whose behalf the political advertising is published, distributed, or broadcast indicating that the image, audio recording, or video recording did not occur in reality.”
  • Let that sink in: Texas Republicans — yes, Republicans — are now trying to police memes.
  • The bill makes it a Class A misdemeanor for candidates, officeholders, or political committees to knowingly distribute political ads that use manipulated images, audio, or video—especially if created with generative AI—without an explicit disclosure that the content did not occur in reality. The law applies to any group spending over $100 on such materials and seeks to curb misleading media that could influence elections.
  • Under the bill, the Texas Ethics Commission will define the specific formatting for these required disclosures. However, media platforms and service providers like internet hosts, broadcasters, and billboard owners are exempt from liability.
  • If signed into law, the legislation will take effect on September 1, 2025.

    Yes, colonists during the Revolutionary War period (1775–1783) frequently made fun of the British government and King George III, often through satirical writings, cartoons, and pamphlets. Political satire was a key tool for rallying support and expressing dissent. For example:
  • Pamphlets and Writings: Thomas Paine’s Common Sense (1776) mocked the monarchy, calling the king a “royal brute” and questioning the legitimacy of hereditary rule. Broadsides and newspapers, like those published by Benjamin Franklin, used sharp wit to criticize British policies.
  • Cartoons and Symbols: Political cartoons depicted the king as tyrannical or foolish, often circulated in taverns or printed in almanacs. Effigies of British officials or the king were burned during protests, such as those against the Stamp Act (1765).
  • Public Performances: Street performances and songs ridiculed British authority. The song “Yankee Doodle,” originally a British mockery of colonists, was repurposed as a patriotic jab.
    •   The British enforced laws like seditious libel, which could lead to imprisonment or fines for criticizing the crown. The Stamp Act and other measures aimed to control the press, forcing printers to operate covertly. Despite this, enforcement was inconsistent due to colonial resistance and sympathetic local juries, allowing satire to flourish in underground networks.
    Compared to the Texas House Bill 366 (2025), which criminalizes political memes without disclaimers, the colonists faced harsher potential consequences but operated in a less legally protected environment. While the Texas law threatens jail time for unlabeled satire, First Amendment protections and judicial review offer recourse, unlike the colonists’ reliance on defiance and evasion under British rule. Both cases show governments attempting to curb political mockery, but the colonists’ satire was part of a revolutionary struggle against an unrepresentative regime, whereas Texas operates within a democratic framework.

The Presidents of IRI, NDI, and the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition (USGLC) all hold seats on ACVFA. Gates Foundation and other members of USGLC also sit on ACVFA. USGLC, meanwhile, operates as a revolving door. Former Senators and Representatives from both parties serve in its leadership, and internal emails show the group actively pursuing newly elected members of Congress to bring them into its fold. This recruitment involves regular dinners, direct outreach, and strategic lobbying. That’s why I coined it the Ouroboros of Interest. It’s the infinite money hack, it’s the reason why our deficit spending is out of control, and it’s also the reason why Congress refuses to stop any of this spending.

    France accuses Russian military intelligence of cyberattacks

  •  France on Tuesday accused Russian military intelligence of being behind a series of cyberattacks against the country over the last decade, including against Macron’s first presidential campaign in 2017. Since 2021, a branch of Russian military intelligence (GRU) dedicated to such attacks has also targeted a dozen French entities including “defence, financial and economic sectors”, the foreign ministry said. August Hakansson reports.

    Pahalgam Attack: On April 22, 2025, gunmen killed 26 people, mostly Hindu tourists, in Baisaran Valley near Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. The Resistance Front (TRF), linked to the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility. India accused Pakistan of supporting cross-border terrorism, alleging two of the attackers were Pakistani nationals. Pakistan denied involvement and called for a neutral investigation.

     reportedly given the Indian armed forces the option to decide on the nature of a response to the Pahalgam attack that sparked this most recent spat between the two nuclear armed powers. Both sides have surged military equipment to border areas in the past week as reports of tit-for-tat clashes between border forces continue. Additional: Interestingly enough, the Pakistani minister chose the term “military strike” and this could alude to the limited nature of potential Indian military actions, as the minister does not seem to be warning about a significant Indian ground operation—something many people have feared due to the buildup by both nations in the past week.

Their survival depended on the bravery of former lab workers who broke into the building to provide food and water, along with rescue groups who found homes and sanctuaries for the animals. Despite the abandonment, Thanedar portrayed himself as an animal lover and shifted blame onto the bank that had foreclosed on the property.

    You’re Fired: Trump Kicks Doug Emhoff off U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council
  • President Donald Trump fired former Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff from the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council, along with others nominated by President Joe Biden, on Tuesday, his 100th day in office.
  • Emhoff’s firing is particularly significant because the Biden administration tasked him with leading its so-called “strategy” against antisemitism — a watered-down plan that backed away from previous commitments to consider extreme anti-Israel criticism antisemitic, and which failed to stop anti-Jewish hatred in the wake of the Hamas terror attack against Israel on October 7, 2023, which triggered a wave of antisemitic protests and attacks.

    Trump EPA Flips Kill Switch On Hundreds Of Biden-Era ‘Environmental Justice’ Handouts

  •  
  • Through the first 100 days of the second Trump administration, the EPA has been working to terminate or otherwise claw back billions of dollars in grant awards given to politically-connected organizations and left-wing groups by the Biden EPA. The agency states it has already formally notified nearly 400 “environmental justice” grant recipients that their awards are set for cancellation, and that it will soon notify another 400 grantees of terminations in the coming days, it said in the filing.

    The board of Paramount Global, the parent company of CBS News, outlined acceptable financial terms for a potential settlement with President Donald Trump on his “60 Minutes” lawsuit, The New York Times reported on Tuesday, citing three people with knowledge of the internal discussions.

    Shari Redstone, the board’s nonexecutive chair and Paramount’s controlling shareholder, recused herself from the portion of the meeting in which board members discussed a settlement, one source who requested anonymity told Reuters.

    The exact dollar amounts remain unclear, but the board’s move paves the way for an out-of-court resolution, the New York Times said.
