None of this changes the only reality that matters.

China is building the strongest military in Asia and with it is expanding their dominance throughout the region. Not the least of which is the strategic South China Sea.

The Chinese are going to eventually invade Taiwan if Trump doesn't commit US forces to its protection.

Nothing else matters in this particular situation. Not labels, not what China did a thousand years ago.

So the Taiwanese will do what Trump demands in regards to developing US jobs.


End of discussion.
Not end of discussion. If our intention is to take away the semi conductor industry from Taiwan, they are no longer a strategic ally, and doesn't need protection from US forces. They just as soon could become like Hong Kong at that point. Putting Tariffs on Taiwan is stupid when we have failed to even execute on plants that TSMC and others have tried here. Check out the boondoggle attempt going on in Arizona. What will happen is we'll just drive the global semiconductor market further to China.

We don't need tariffs to try to compete in that market. We need major labor and skill upgrades and reduced regulations. Without that this is just shooting ourselves in the foot by raising prices for American companies and driving a wedge between us and an ally to counter China.


**** Taiwan

American jobs, American lives come first.

If they want continued American protection…..they need to do as Trump demands.

The era of US generosity while we get screwed in return is over.


Trump is doing the exact right thing.
You didn't look up what TSMC is doing in Arizona obviously. We aren't getting screwed by Taiwan anyway. And this isn't a binary result, tariffs = US jobs. In fact given the strategic nature of semiconductors in everything from phones, computing, and even weaponry, and the long horizon to even get production up and running, not to mention the raw material coordination required, it's more likely supply will shift to China and other markets, and higher prices will cost jobs. Again, we don't need tariffs to produce semiconductors in the US.

I like how Trump is using tariffs in the immigration battle. Straightforward with a tangible result. This one is misguided with potentially significant negative consequences, not to mention unnecessary. I think where this went awry is that in one of the last couple of budget continuing resolutions, there was a Taiwan business incentive package. Now cancelling that makes lots of sense. It's not warranted, and we can't afford it.
The stock market disagrees with those worrying about this tariff. TSMC investors aren't concerned, and Taiwan isn't concerned. Only blip they've taken is due to the China AI.
It's interconnected and not instant. TSMC is already attempting to build a factory here, but in classic entitled America fashion, we're screwing it up. The AI blip was driven by the significant cost difference the China chip arrays have over those produced in places like Taiwan, further exacerbating the ill guided decision to add more cost to American companies in the sector.
You are joking? You think for an industry that is so heavily reliant on factories that cost upwards of tens of billions that the stock market hasn't reacted? OK, I disagree, the stock market certainly would have the risk of Trump hurting Taiwan factored in, and clearly investors consider the risk negligible because there's not even a blip.

Wikipedia is another fascist propaganda organ. It's about as trustworthy as the MSM of DNC.
I'll give you an example. I am a historian, especially of Dallas, the Cowboys and Dallas sports scene.

The 1952 NFL Dallas Texans

They were only around for less than one season. They went bankrupt and the franchise was returned to the league along with all their equipment and uniforms. The end, the league washed its hands of them

The next season, the Baltimore Colts were awarded a BRAND NEW franchise that had nothing to do with the Texans. The Colts wanted nothing to do with the Texans franchise. They owed a lot of people, lots of money. They signed a lot of the old Texans players as they were new and had zero players. And the Texan players had little choice for a new team. However, at least 10 players went to other teams.

I knew this, and contacted the NFL, who agreed with what I stated above, in writing.

I corrected Wiki. Someone came in after me and rewrote that the Texans became the Colts, with both players, contracts and equipment going to Baltimore. And they did that not once, but three times. Even with me showing the comments directly from the NFL.
wiki cant even be used as a legit source for a 4th grade english paper for this very reason

What a performative waste of taxpayer dollars




Leave the US all the ports ……and CA could go tomorrow IMO.
Or take away the ports and all CA residents would be happy as hell. It's the "Coastal Elite" that has ruined that once beautiful state


US needs the ports of San Diego, Long Beach, and SF for the Pacific Fleet and commercial transport.




Keep just those parts of the cities, parts of north east cali that are red and let the rest go

This is a must watch. I had this exact conversation with my mother in law a month ago.

Effectively, the supporters of the "who's going to pick my crops" are supporters of exploitive labor. While some migrant workers may make more than minimum wage, many will certainly not as they are paid under the table.

Trump and Repubs are not going to let American farm businesses fail, they will use a work program that pays people legally with transparency.

When I used to teach I made a point to my students by editing the wiki page for the small town I taught in and put my name in for mayor. It stayed up for 5 years.

Sure it was a small town and not many people probably visited the wiki page for it but the point was to show that anyone could edit it and if the page is not visited often then wrong information could stay there.

So I must have missed that there is a memo that has frozen all money for grants to everything including universities which means all grant funded research might be coming to a halt soon. Not just DEI stuff but everything. But I can't find any good source that explains it without it getting into the political weeds. Anyone have a good link for an explanation of this.

From what I've heard today, there is so much funding hidden in grants, that go to not only the fight against DEI's but also political NGO's, terrorist organizations and so forth, Trump paused them all until they could be disected one by one.

I've heard reports that on some sensitive topics, like "climate change", the only narrative allowed is the radical Leftist one with no credibility. Any time someone tries to correct that it even balance it out with other perspectives, it is immediately edited to keep the propaganda lies alive. I checked this out myself and found it to be at least partly accurate although I did not try to change it myself and it has been a few years since then. I used to think that it was ok to use it for basic facts such as historical events but now I'm not even sure about that.

Bottom line: I don't trust Wikipedia for anything.

Idiotic. The president is literally the head of the executive branch. Unfortunately, the civil service has legal protections that make it almost impossible to fire them. This leads to all kinds of abuses like what we've seen recently. It's been going on for decades. It must stop.

Eventually Congress will have to act to clean up the mess, reduce the bureaucracy, & hold all of them accountable. That is true of most Trump EO's: Congress must pass appropriate legislation to make the reforms more permanent.

90 days pause so they can review all the grants and see what is being funded.

There is a lot of LGTBQ+, DEI, Social engineering stuff in the grants

After 90 days the grants for basic university research will be freed up.

And the other stuff hopefully axed

[Good morning. We have so much news that I'm tired of the news. On the other hand, there's so much winning! Look:
Quote:

President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order aimed at cutting federal support for gender transitions for people under age 19, his latest move to roll back protections for transgender people across the country.

"It is the policy of the United States that it will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called 'transition' of a child from one sex to another, and it will rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures," the order says.
The order directs that federally-run insurance programs, including TRICARE for military families and Medicaid, exclude coverage for such care and calls on the Department of Justice to vigorously pursue litigation and legislation to oppose the practice.
Quote:


Medicaid programs in some states cover gender-affirming care. The new order suggests that the practice could end, and targets hospitals and universities that receive federal money and provide the care.

Just like that, the sexual mutilation of children is effectively over. This tweet is from the divorced Texas man who fought a losing battle in court to save his little boy from being chemically castrated by his mother, who had custody:



I hope it's true, and that poor child will have been saved from these wicked *******s.] -Rod Dreher

Wonder if normal , rational, traditional Democrats will ever comprehend the insanity that their 'team' was doing to our country.

A. Intentionally importing millions of illegals into their neighborhoods. Tens of thousands of whom were FELONS and / or mentally ill.

B. Forcing the insanity of woke culture onto our children and grandchildren.

C. Wasting trillions of dollars on pet projects while our standard of living crumbled.

D. Weakened our military while committing one foreign policy blunder after another.





Nope, the vast majority of traditional Dems probably won't admit what their 'team' was doing.

Old habits, even self destructive ones, are usually too hard to break.
