Tariffs are basically taxes we pay at the register. I’m honestly surprised this administration pulled off such a huge tax hike without congressional approval. At this pace, someone better launch a bartering app—we might be trading socks for groceries by summer.

Fox News yanked the stock ticker today. Guess if the market’s crashing, the solution is… don’t show it? Bold — strong man strategy.

Just so we’re clear: The Trump administration placed a 10% tariff on uninhabited—Heard and McDonald Islands—which have zero exports to the U.S. and are home to seals, penguins, and a bunch of cold rocks. Tough on penguins—not Putin. www.businessinsider.com/trumps-liber...

This novel was written in 1998 but set in 2032: -A Christian nationalist wins on an “America First” platform. -Gangs enslave nonbelievers and seize their kids for re-education. -America’s at war with Canada, Alaska secedes. -Corporations run dystopian “company towns”.

Government abductions are unconstitutional. Denying anyone the right to due process in America is unconstitutional. If you’ve rationalized your silence or support for any of it because it’s happening to those you disagree with, give it a minute… They’ll get to you soon enough.

For Americans, Trump’s foreign policy shift means paying more for goods, watching allies ghost us, and seeing China and Russia slide into the driver’s seat. Travel headaches? Check. Higher defense bills? Probably. But hey, who needs global respect when you’re “winning”, right? bit.ly/3QrRM3f

Wait… so the Trump admin, with Elon’s help, just yoinked $80 million in FEMA funds straight from NYC’s accounts? I wonder how they hacked the system? Pretty sure that’s called theft when regular people do it. Is this even legal or just another episode of ‘Laws Don’t Apply to Us’?

If we’re bringing things back, let’s make sure we fully embrace history in all its awkward, white male glory: • Leech therapy—because nothing screams alpha male like draining your own blood to cure a cough. • Dueling with pistols at dawn—settle those Twitter beefs the old-fashioned way, Chad.

At this rate, we’ll be bartering for healthcare and smuggling eggs across state lines.

First they silence the experts. Then they rewrite the rules. Then they come for the rest of us.

The Trump trade war targets two of our closest allies, Canada and Mexico, but plays nice with China, a notorious trade cheat and driver of fentanyl. President Trump owns the economic and national security fallout.

The goal is not to rub in the mistakes of the past, but to learn from them and build a better future together. Progress isn’t about ‘I told you so’—it’s about ‘Where do we go from here?

A certain someone wink wink is suggesting a THIRD presidential term… because, apparently he’s trying to dodge an FBI investigation! Quid pro quo? More like quid pro NO. 🕵️‍♂️👀 www.newschannel5.com/news/newscha...

Anyone heard if Jack Smith finally submitted his report on Trump, or is it buried under the DC blizzard too? Seems fitting—it’s January 6, and everything about Trump is either pending, snowed, or waiting for certification!

@antifaoperative.bsky.social Not often do I comment on the other site, but I see you and the effort you put into shining a light on child molestation and abuse in positions of trust. Your courage is powerful and necessary. Thank you for being a voice for those who need it most.

The uproar over H1-B immigration shows how the focus is on race, again, instead of the real issue: economic inequality and the growing divide between haves and have-nots.
