In response to Trump’s tariffs China tweeted Ronald Reagan speech.

More notably, in response to Trump’s tariffs China tweeted Mao Zedong. Mao is still a hero to the CCP – a dictator who killed more of his own people than Hitler and Stalin combined.
That is the reality of communism.

I recently read that Child Protection Services was involved in child-trafficking–it was confirmed this week when Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made a public statement that the HHS Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) from 2021-2024 placed 300,000 unaccompanied minors whose status or location became untraceable…
.
“We have ended HHS’s role as the principal vector in this country for child trafficking. During the Biden administration, HHS became a collaborator in child trafficking for sex and for slavery, and we have ended that,” Kennedy said during a Wednesday cabinet meeting. “We’re very aggressively going out and trying to find these 300,000 children that were lost by the Biden administration.”
.
The whole of government is endemically evil..let us protest ‘hands off’ our children!

From the California Globe: “California Democrats Reach New Lows Supporting Sex Trafficking, Reparations, Welfare Fraud, Trans in Prison”‘If you need to study whether it’s right or wrong to buy a 16 or 17-year-old child for sex, you’re unfit for office’
“CA Democrats stood with sex trafficking criminals — by refusing to make selling 16 and 17 year-old children for sex a felony!” Assemblyman Carl DeMaio posted on X.
Then Democrats pivoted to the real reason Republicans were supportive of the bill to make it a felony to purchase 16-17-year-olds for sex – Donald Trump!
You can’t make this up. California’s Democrats are so totally devoid of souls and brains, that in the same bill debate where they argued on behalf of sex trafficking teenagers, they said if Republicans would not support their twisted, sick position, well then… it’s TRUMP’s fault!

These people are sick.
Thank you for sharing this link…this, too, shows that many of our legislators are captured, intransigent defiance of reality! This is satanic inversion and they will do everything in their power to continue with trafficking innocent human beings–these people are psychopathic predators and are showing us their total disregard for humanity. They don’t care to hide it anymore. Indeed, they are sick…

About Time!
Shout out to State Senator Lola Smalland-Cuevas. She introduced a SB 560 which seeks to decriminalize welfare fraud up to $25,000. Why stop there? Maybe she needs to introduce a bill that decriminalize all drugs, spousal abuse, DUI, shoplifting up to $25,000, and auto theft just to name a few. Who the hell votes in these clowns?
AOC wants you to think detainies are drinking toilet water.They have nice drinking water dispensers and all the cups they need.Its a summer camp.Tv’s, air conditioners.Summer camp sucks compared to this.The kid that was “deported”..not deported,his mother was deported and they gave her the choice of taking the child with her or not,since the left always cries about separating the child from the mother,so they let her keep the kid and still they were labeled as wrong.She’s the one that’s wrong. She the broke the law,.

SEX OFFENDER REGISTRATION

Still waiting for explanation,
“Currently there is a gap between age 14 and age 18 because of Sen. Scott Wiener’s bill 2020 bill, SB 1045, that allows a 24 year old to have sex with a 14 year old and escape a felony conviction and the requirement to be a registered sex offender.

Has AOC commented on the illegal alien that was caught raping a corpse on the subway?
Likely not, as both those guys probably vote blue.

The corruption the Trump family is involved in is what the GOP tried and failed to pin on Biden. Projection is always confession with the GOP and Trump. The one takeaway from his last term is Trump knows, even before his illegitimate court gave him immunity, is presidents are pretty much immune in this country. So Trump and his filthy family aren’t even bothering to hide that they’ve turned the WH into a trough. Just wait till the massive tax cut if you want to see *real* theft, fraud, and abuse.
Blue 🌊 is coming to midterms…Yeah because you think people are unhappy with Trump? How out of touch are democrats right now? Man it’s comical. Why do they hate someone who obviously loves our country? If democrats don’t have illegals voting, they won’t even win California anymore.
Why are we still paying 5 dollars a gallon when the rest of the country is under 2?? Because California is robbing us blind. Lower oil = higher gas in Cali. What a bunch of lost souls. In a real world, you guys would be protesting the governor’s mansion about our gas prices.
Greg, older people are protesting at Tesla dealerships because they think they’re going to lose their Social Security…..all based on lies like the one you just posted. One would think you hate old people for causing them undue worry.
Apparently he is coming apart at the seems.Nobody is buying his self serving message.
The governor wouldnt dare live in the governors mansion.It’s in Sacramento.Who would want to raise their kids in such a dangerous place ,and by doing this he admits his own state capitol is no place for a family to live.Most capitol cites are crime ridden.Why is that.America?No pride when its run by liberals,just control,and it’s never a clean place.

NYC, home to some of the highest income tax rates in the nation, has lost over $13B in taxable income due to migration out of the city over the past few years. Figure a 3% city income tax and that equals $390,000,000 PER YEAR in lost income to the city. This year, next year, the year after that……This is tax revenue that will never come back. Who will they turn to for income as their base shuffles off to Florida? What programs will they reduce or eliminate in order to fix their finances? Probably police and fire fighters, exactly what they should NOT cut.
Dem economists are the second dumbest people on the planet. They seem to think that the wealthy will just take their medicine and pay up while the rich flip off the bureaucrats as they load up the U-Haul. They think that raising the min wage to $20 won’t increase prices or reduce available jobs. Nope, doesn’t work that way. BTW the dumbest people are the ones that believe what their economist comrades in Sacto or Albany tell them to believe.

-We were promised a day one end to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and no new wars; what we got: India and Pakistan throwing jabs, Israel preparing to “finish” Gaza, and the world laughing at Trump trying to broker a deal on behalf of Putin, who just keeps undercutting him and mocking us for it.
-Economy is in free fall due to an incoherent tariff policy whose goals change daily; Trump seems to think people want to buy goods from us…which is news to the rest of the world.
Towards the end of last year our economy was the envy of the world and hostilities were not breaking out all over like this. Plane parts weren’t falling out of the sky, jet fighters weren’t falling off air craft carriers. Man o man do I miss all the DEI folks that were in charge. 🙁

Enjoy your Trump Recession.
Greg, I’m confused… I know nothing about recessions.
*
Today’s headline reads:
“Stock Market News: Dow Pops as Trump Announces U.S. – U.K. Trade Deal
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite were also higher”
*
So is this good news or bad?
Please explain it to me in simple terms even I can understand.
Let me help you. Since inauguration the market is down about 4.98% S&P500; 5.41% Dow and >5% Nasdaq. But the risk of a recession is now cosiderably higher than it was at the begining of Trump’s term:
.
Goldman Sachs: Raised the 12-month recession probability to 45% (from 35%) in April 2025, citing tightening financial conditions, tariffs, and declining consumer and business confidence.
J.P. Morgan: Projects a 60% chance of a U.S. and global recession by year-end, driven by aggressive tariff policies and their potential to disrupt supply chains and business sentiment.
Moody’s Analytics: Chief Economist Mark Zandi increased recession odds to 40% (from 15% earlier in 2025), pointing to declining consumer confidence, elevated inflation, and slowing spending.
Prediction Markets: Kalshi and Polymarket reported recession odds surging to 74% and 70%, respectively, after Q1 2025 GDP contracted by 0.3%, marking the first negative growth since 2022.
.
And the market did not go up on the UK deal which isn’t even a deal. The market went up on rumors that Trump is caving to China.
.
I hope this helps you.
Just let them speak……. this couldnt get any better.
