I realize that I have some new Arsenal friends here. My friends from the other place know I love Aaron Ramsey like he was my own son. It’s my identity, really. So expect lots of content 😂

Trump announces he's putting a bajillion percent tariff on China

It has just been learned that China has taken an extraordinarily aggressive position on Trade in sending an extremely hostile letter to the World, stating that they were going to, effective November 1st, 2025, impose large scale Export Controls on virtually every product they make, and some not even made by them. This affects ALL Countries, without exception, and was obviously a plan devised by them years ago. It is absolutely unheard of in International Trade, and a moral disgrace in dealing with other Nations.

Based on the fact that China has taken this unprecedented position, and speaking only for the U.S.A., and not other Nations who were similarly threatened, starting November 1st, 2025 (or sooner, depending on any further actions or changes taken by China), the United States of America will impose a Tariff of 100% on China, over and above any Tariff that they are currently paying. Also on November 1st, we will impose Export Controls on any and all critical software.

It is impossible to believe that China would have taken such an action, but they have, and the rest is History. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

"In his tearful farewell speech, excerpted in the Graham documentary, Nixon seemed to convey the self-knowledge—the shame—that he had blown it. But shame is no longer a factor, much less a defining factor, in public life."

Trump’s Abuses of Power Show We Didn’t Learn Much From the Nixon Era

That failure is implicit in nearly every frame of a new documentary about Katharine Graham.

Trump: "The person who actually got the Nobel Prize called today, called me, and said 'I'm accepting this in honor of you, because you really deserved it.' A really nice thing to do. I didn't say 'Then give it to me, though.'"

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

26. She did the unforgivable: refused to accept the lies Stephen Miller tells himself, about himself, and she deepened that wound by daring to enjoy herself while doing it. She not only hurt him, emotionally and psychically, but she reminded him of the misery he endures daily.

25. Fox’s Laura Ingraham played that clip, right there on live TV. The written word cannot do justice to the face Miller made while watching it. (You have to see it for yourself.) All I can say is he looked wounded, as if AOC had stabbed him, and that’s because the injury was very real.

22. IOW, Miller is lying to get you (and “low-info voters”) to give up. Surrender is strategically important. Without it, Miller and the rest of the regime got nothing. They lie in the belief that you will believe them, and in doing so, defeat yourself.

But they can’t conquer you if you don’t.

Miller has a real theory of the case: A latent majority out there can be sleepwalked into authoritarianism with enough numbing agitprop. Polls show majorities reject the autocratic abuses but Miller plainly thinks voters in the middle lack conviction about any of it.

Trump just threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act if governors/judges act *lawfully* within the constitutional system in ways that displease him.

Miller's statements reveal their real position: Trump's power to invent pretexts for emergency actions is limitless.

18. Manipulating the president only gets Miller and the rest of the regime so far. If they are going to take control of the republic, which is their objective, they must convince the American people there’s no use in fighting back – that resistance is futile. And they are going to do that by lying.
