Well, three are multiple repeat treasonous louts...no idea WTF Paul's problem is...guess some of his Daddy's crazy genes have finally kicked in...

Well, folks wanting primary challenges are what they are...

As for this...

...maybe it is embarrassment over having so many holes unfilled, due in large part to legitimate obstruction by LEO's who did the investigating...forensic folks who've released nothing etc...  But, Kelly could put a memo in the docs outlying the holes cause by external players and release it all so we could all see if indeed that is the case...

The assault upon Lady Liberty is being avenged!

That's a good narrative!  And more charts like the ones at the end there that Trump was using in the Rose Garden ceremony I found online -









And Trump said they are fair, not full, in many cases...and the charts bear that out.

I expect we'll see a series of negotiations settling over the coming months, with perhaps some of the more butthurt trying to retaliate to improve negotiating position...but in the end I think there will be deals made.

And nobody is more butthurt than the nation most responsible for porking us (and as Trump mentioned, a lot of the fault is on others who've occupied the Oval Office who let them!)...

Update on NSC firings -

The director of the powerful wiretapping and cyber espionage service, the National Security Agency, was fired Thursday, according to two current and one former U.S. officials.

Gen. Timothy Haugh, who also heads U.S. Cyber Command, was let go along with his civilian deputy at the NSA, Wendy Noble, according to the officials.

Noble was reassigned to a job within the Pentagon’s Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence. The NSA is part of the department.


Haugh, who assumed his dual position just over a year ago, was traveling on Thursday and could not be reached for comment. Sean Parnell, a spokesman for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, did not respond to a request for comment.

The current and former officials said they did not know the reason for Haugh’s dismissal or Noble’s reassignment. (more)

Director Haugh recently met with Elon Musk and DOGE Team.

Idiot Snowmexican PM shoots blanks!

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney spins a tale of Automaker Stellantis temporarily shutting down auto plants in Canada and Mexico as an outcome of President Trump’s tariffs.  Unfortunately, the gaslighting by Carney might work on less intellectual SnowMexicans, but it fails here.

Stellantis, an EU centered auto company who sell Dodge, Ram (made in Mexico) and Dodge, Durango (made in Canada), have been in a deepening crisis for over a year as a result of poor brand management, poor development and weak North American sales.  In short, their cars and trucks are not selling, that’s why the CEO quit in December, and they fired and replaced the North American leadership team.  It has nothing to do with Trump’s auto tariffs against Mexico and Canada.

That said, Mark Carney used the Stellantis plant closing (Windsor) as cover to announce that Canada would match the auto-tariffs with a 25% countervailing duty against all U.S. made cars and trucks.

This approach only raises the ceiling for the U.S. tariffs against Canada.  Quite frankly, I’m not sure why President Trump would continue to play this game with Carney and should (for the sake of simplicity) just cancel all trade with Canada and begin an immediate embargo and border blockade.

Tell the Carney clown to stay at home, shut it all down and let the Canadians live as a sovereign nation under the rule and regulation of the EU while they continue to destroy their energy resources and import foreign workers.
  It’s silly to keep entertaining Canada as if they really matter.

If it wasn’t for the national security threat they could represent on our border, Canada would likely get little policy attention from any administration.   The Trudeau/Carney’s of the world are just annoying now.  Sorry Canada, but this Carney guy is even worse than the last Prime Minister.   They won’t even say “USMCA” because it’s Trump or something.  So, Carney says “CUSMA” 😂🤣😂 Childish, silly and so typically leftist. Too funny!

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/04/03/canadian-pm-mark-carney-says-will-match-trump-auto-tariffs-at-25/

I agree with Sundance, the Snowmexicans have zero leverage and much much more to lose...  And an embargo and border blockade would end all fentanyl coming in from the North...let them sit on all that Chi-Com sourced ingredients!

 ::vafancoul::

As for China...  Honestly, I have no idea WTF those idiots think they're doing.  They are raping us harder and working harder to circumvent fair trade harder than any nation on the planet...and they want to up the ante?

All that dumb commie did was prove Trump right.

They need access to our markets so much more than we need access to theirs!

“CHINA PLAYED IT WRONG, THEY PANICKED - THE ONE THING THEY CANNOT AFFORD TO DO!” Trump said on the Truth social media platform.

First win with Milei's Argentina is an easy one when both are intelligent -



Zero tariffs for both!  Now, isn't that the way it should always be?!

Yet, some want to play games...and screw somebody over...

More on winning on tariff's...

President Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Thursday evening that every country is already calling the White House in response to his reciprocal tariffs.

They're not just a negotiating tactic to balance things, it's also a way of promoting our interests and kicking the globalists (especially those deadbeat NATO nations relying on us for too long to subsidize their big welfare state)!

Over the weekend it appears over 50 nations have called in wanting to negotiate new trade deals.

 ::thumbsup::

And, our guy is holding firm...the status quo is insane and slowly killing us off little by little...

It isn't going to be allowed to continue...

Doesn't matter...  The Wall St crowd, being the hardcore globalists we've all come to loath and despise...will find excuses to turn any smile into a frown...  In a way their overreaction is kinda hilarious...their benefactors, the 1%, made out like bandits during the Biden Family Crime spree, just look at the returns of Pelosi et al!  Now, their hammering down the market...one would think their benefactors would be pissed but there is no screaming, because they probably got the timing tip-off well before the fact...their punishment as always is on the average people...

Well, when all this settles and Trump wins and America has more fair trade terms with the world...the treacherous will benefit too, but the rest of us too, and not just from new trade deals but an overall healthier economy, globalism on the shelf, tax relief for the workers...the Trump Magic Wand will reap so many benefits into the future...

And if Congress can get off its ass maybe the budgets can be balanced and the national debt worked down!

Meanwhile, the limp-dick panda plans to increase tariffs, ban imports, suspend non-existent fentanyl cooperation, investigate non-existent American intellectual property theft of stupid Chinese BS and fire up their presses to BS their masses into a bogus sense of security...

Trump responded to Xi's BS...going to impose 104% tariff on them...

One of the Najarian brothers (option traders) on FoxBusiness had a great quote...talking about the Hang Seng drop, how they cannot suffer much more of a drop before they have riots in the streets...

"China doesn't understand they are playing chicken with a guy (Trump) who doesn't turn the wheel..."

This is good...the referenced title, brought in at the end to wrap things up, is a nice touch!

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/medias-piss-stain-starts-dry

An expected response by globalists to change...especially that Cramer fool and his Black Monday prediction face-plant.

Even Trump has come out to say there is nice buying opportunities now.

And with 70+ nations knocking for negotiations...the idiotic Chinese continue to bark at the moon...

Full dragon, no panda mask.  Beijing begins using war terminology to discuss the trade conflict with the United States.

Through a series of cumulative trade tariffs, President Trump has now placed Chinese imports into the USA in a position of 104% tariffs.

104%!

In response Beijing has devalued their currency and dumped treasuries, but no amount of subsidy, devaluation or use of their sovereign wealth fund is going to compensate for 104% taxes on Chinese products.  Very soon all purchase orders from the USA for Chinese manufactured products will stop.

The Beijing dragon is looking at the future through a zero-sum position.  Now, they vow to fight to the death.

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/04/09/china-vows-to-fight-to-the-end-in-economic-war-with-america/

We'll make good deals with those who are interested in legit fairness.

Meanwhile, Chi-Com's continue to embarrass themselves...

Update:

After Beijing’s overnight inaction in response to President Trump’s new 104% effective-rate tariff on Chinese goods—and the release of a white paper on trade between the two superpowers—there now appears to be a response from the Chinese side.

*CHINA RAISES TARIFFS ON US GOOD TO 84%

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/china-holds-back-retaliation-opts-strategic-messaging-through-white-paper-trade

 ::laughonfloor::

Make it 840%!  Won't matter!  Your exports to us are massive, ours to yours is spit in a lake.  We're cutting deals woth others, many in Asia...we can backfill much from them to weather any shortage as a result of this tariff fight...let's see how your economy handles this...

Stupid Panda! 

 ::hysterical::



Meanwhile, ignore all haters...they just keep getting proven wrong time and time again...

In other news...

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/04/09/fannie-mae-fires-over-100-federal-agency-employees-for-facilitating-housing-loan-fraud/

I agree.  It is nice to see other leaders stepping up and cleaning things up...  Bondi needs to get more active on the prosecution front!

And as for SCOTUS...

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/04/08/u-s-supreme-court-begins-dismantling-federal-judge-temporary-restraining-orders-against-constitutional-executive-branch-action/

Yes, some rollback of the lawfare judge shopping schemes...but that pathetic "due process" BS for illegal alien criminal scum is total BS!  That needs to be spiked!  I say then Gitmo and military tribunal due process, frack their jurisdictional slow-ass shadow intrusion into Executive authority!

https://discern.tv/kevin-oleary-makes-the-case-for-400-tariffs-on-china/

Why not 400%?   ::clapping::

My people!   ;D

And then about 2 hours ago...Trump announces rewarding negotiating nations a 90 day pause and drop to 10% in reciprocal tariffs...while the stupid Chinese get bumped up to 125%...Sundance covers it here...

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/

And our markets surge 6-9% (at present).

TRUMP STANDS ALONE — Rejects UK Trade Deal Over Free Speech Violations

President Trump reportedly refused to move forward with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s tariff agreement due to the UK’s growing crackdown on free speech. Across Europe, free expression is under siege: In France, citizens face €12,500 fines for critiquing Islam. In the UK, parents were arrested over WhatsApp messages criticizing a school, and a woman was detained for silently praying near an abortion clinic. Germany prosecutes users for sharing posts critical of politicians. With around 30 social media-related arrests happening weekly in the UK, Trump made it clear—no deal without a firm defense of free speech.
When the law becomes a ruse, lawlessness becomes legitimate. -unknown
