(Spencer P. Morrison – American Thinker) On April 2, Liberation Day, President Trump imposed reciprocal tariffs across the board. The President noted that they were “kind” tariffs, since they were only half the rate that American producers are charged. For now, at least.
Critics have lamented that tariffs will raise the cost of goods, as if the Constitution codified the right to buy “cheap” Chinese goods.
While there will be an adjustment period — as with any major policy shift — tariffs will not cause inflation in the long term. In fact, they will likely lower the cost of goods over time. Continue reading
“Between Palm Sunday and Good Friday, Jerusalem experienced a dramatic transformation in the popular attitude to Christ. The crowd heralded Him as the coming King when He entered the city on a donkey. Days later the mob called for His crucifixion even when offered a chance to have Him released by the Roman governor. My suspicion is that a significant number of the adoring crowd became the murderous mob. Today we call that a vibe shift.” 
“Dropping Asperger’s was a political decision, not a scientific one. The “autism spectrum” serves a numbers-boosting political purpose, like the mash-up “LGBTQ.” That a group of extremely prevalent, incurable neurological abnormalities remain in the politicized Play-Doh psychiatric nomenclature is disgraceful.”
“Democrats want us to believe the opposite, and still do despite the evidence that their little scheme got busted. Their clowns at the FBI got exposed, their operatives in the intelligence community burned, and their allies in the liberal media self-immolated the last shred of their credibility…”
“The FBI campaign to discredit the Post story continued even after its October 14, 2020, publication. That morning, one FBI analyst tried telling Twitter the laptop was real—until his bosses silenced him.”
“The comparison between Rick Warren and Tim Keller seems farfetched at first, but both pioneered separate seeker-sensitive methods for their respective markets. Tim Keller was simply more erudite about it.”
(John Carney – Breitbart) President Trump is set to step into the Rose Garden tomorrow for what may be the most consequential economic announcement of his second term. Markets are bracing. Diplomats are dialing. Pundits are speculating wildly. But no one—not Wall Street, not foreign governments, not even some inside the West Wing—seems to know exactly what will be announced.
“So Congress could act and say, ‘Look, federal judges, you render a decision to a plaintiff or a defendant, but you can’t impact people outside of your courtroom other than through a class action.’ That’s why God created class actions, isn’t it?”
“Practically speaking, therefore, a healthy, vibrant prayer life depends to a large extent upon a good understanding of trinitarian doctrine. Only then will we both understand what it is we are doing and have confidence that it will be effective and powerful…”
“That’s Milley for you, though — he got us into deep involvement in a war Joe Biden was unwilling to ask the public to go along with because he suspected the answer would be ‘no,’ but he wouldn’t take ‘no’ for an answer. One day he’s sneaking around with the Chinese, telling them to trust him on keeping Trump engaging in any military action, the next day, he’s making the U.S. a bigger target.”
“Maybe DOGE employees prefer to work behind the scenes because leftist wackos are terrorizing Tesla.”
“The so-called COVID “experts” were either dangerously stupid or deeply compromised—maybe both. Was it stupidity, politics, or profit driving their decisions? Either way, the results were the same: silence in the face of a horrific health crisis that’s now targeting our most vulnerable—children.”
“Altogether, hundreds of NIH grants on “gender” or DEI topics have already been canceled, including research on “multilevel and multidimensional structural racism” (whatever that means), “gender-affirming hormone therapy in mice”, and “microaggressions.” I think I lost brain cells just reading those inanities, and yet supposedly serious researchers were receiving taxpayer money for this.”

“Humans are endowed with intelligence. Machines are not. This is the great fakery. Here is the ignorant fallacy: Microsoft CEO says that “will unlock enormous amounts of economic growth, but they are fundamentally labor replacing.” First, human work is the source of all economic activity; second, if “wages crash,” as Marc Andreessen thinks, it will crash the economy. Are they really this stupid, or are they just gaslighting the world?” ⁃ Patrick Wood, Technocracy Editor.
(Protestia) A leaked small group training video from North Point Community Church shows a church ministry director instructing small group leaders to use affirming language with transgender tweens and teens, advising them to use their new names and personal pronouns because if everyone else in that child’s life is affirming them, “we cannot be the last place a (trans) student feels comfortable.”
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) While we’ve all witnessed Joe Biden’s countless gaffes, confused wanderings, and incoherent ramblings over the past three years, what’s been happening behind the scenes is far more disturbing than anyone imagined. A bombshell new book reveals that while the White House was busy assuring Americans that Biden was a “vigorous” leader fully capable of executing his duties, Kamala Harris’s team was secretly planning for his potential departure — or death — as early as January 2023. 
“It’s said that nothing is as bad as what you can imagine. Except, of course, for John Lennon’s “Imagine.” Particularly when it’s sung as a series of treacly solos by well-meaning (???) celebrities trying to make us little people feel better about being locked in our homes, and having our jobs, businesses, schools, playgrounds, and access to dying Nana in the nursing home all taken away.”
Your tax dollars don’t just fund lies from NPR, they also fund super-serious journalism like podcast investigations linking the country music genre to racism. In August 2023, NPR’s Britany Luse hosted an episode titled “How racism became a marketing tool for country music.”
“This latest news is concerning to say the least—but let’s be honest, it’s not exactly shocking, is it? The company Obama keeps tells you everything you need to know about his life—and his intentions. Take a look:”
(Mike Abendroth – TruthScript) Do you ever worry? Are you ever anxious? Sadly, I have never worried more in my life than I have over cancer. I have lost two grandparents and both parents to cancer. I have had two different types of cancer. Maybe you can identify with me, especially in those moments in the middle of the night. The boa constrictor of worry starts to suffocate you, and the worries exponentially multiply. The English word for worry comes from a word that means “to strangle,” or grasp by the throat.
“Our founding document is a fairly succinct and compelling natural law argument for a government that recognizes all men are created equal and endowed by our creator with inalienable rights that cannot be abrogated, let alone by a king who claims the “divine right” to tax people on a whim.”
