GOOD ! Suspect arrested in arson attack on Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro’s residence as family slept inside. Pennsylvania State Police have arrested a Harrisburg man for the arson attack on Gov. Josh Shapiro and his family that sent them fleeing from the governor’s residence on the first night of Passover. Cody Balmer, 38, of Harrisburg, is expected to face charges of attempted murder, terrorism, aggravated arson, and aggravated assault against an enumerated person, authorities said. Shapiro, who is Jewish, became visibly emotional as he spoke about the 2 a.m. attack on his home as he and his family slept inside. “Investigators believe the attack was ‘targeted,’ but haven’t determined a specific motive.” https://nypost.com/2025/04/13/us-news/pennsylvania-gov-josh-shapiro-arson-suspect-arrested/

An immigration judge in Louisiana has ruled that Mahmoud Khalil is 'Removable' and that Secretary of State Marco Rubio acted within his power when he revoked Khalil's Green Card. Like all green card holders, Khalil was a guest in the country. Through his own actions, HE wore out his welcome, and it's time for him to leave. When he looks back and reflects on the reasons he was deported, the answer will be staring at him in the mirror. https://twitchy.com/eric-v/2025/04/11/you-dont-have-to-go-home-but-you-cant-stay-here-judge-rule-khalil-can-be-deported-n2411278

WEIRD THAT THE IVY LEAGUE IS LOSING PRESTIGE:

Back to the thread Trump is already winning his trade war with China. “Behind the global economic chaos provoked by president Trump’s tariff tsunami, there are growing indications of a strategic purpose. It is now conceivable that plunging into, and then retreating from, a generalised trade war was actually a deliberate means to a truly geostrategic end: to thwart China’s ambition to replace the US as the dominant world superpower. . . . In this light, the suspension of tariff combat for 90 days with most countries, while doubling down on the levies imposed on China, leaves Beijing isolated and in the firing line.” https://uk.news.yahoo.com/trump-tariffs-left-xi-jinping-191144075.html? Do tell.

To someone who has no sense, I suppose so, I would explain, but you would not comprehend. "Elon and DOGE - he’s doing us all a favor by efficiently redirecting our tax dollars straight into his own bank account."

This Is Insane David Strom April 11, 2025 I am going to leave aside any question about whether the World Health Organization is telling the truth because I have no way of knowing. There may have been a time when, in ignorance, I would have assumed that they were, but that time is long past. The WHO is run by a man who was a Minister in a government run by literal terrorists, it lied throughout COVID, and is corrupt as the day is long. But I will grant for the purposes of this article that they could be telling the truth, and still say WTF, man? Could it possibly be true that 75% of the world's countries can't have a functioning health care system without aid from the United States? Possibly. Is it, in any rational world, acceptable that 75% of the countries in the world cannot ensure that they have functioning healthcare systems without US aid? Absolutely not. That state of affairs is insane, both because it is unfair to the US taxpayers and, just as importantly, it ensures that citizens of foreign countries continue to live under the most incompetent governments conceivable. We are enabling self-destruction in the same way that family members of alcoholics or drug addicts are enabling their relatives by giving them cash to feed their habit. The WHO has “compiled feedback from more than 100 countries” to understand the impact of the aid cuts, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told a briefing on Thursday. {snip} Uh, yeah. If this report is accurate that is absolutely shameful. Worse, given the voting record of countries in the United Nations and what many of these countries say about us, a lot of world leaders use one hand to beg for our cash and the other to hold a knife that they use to stab us in the back. It's one thing for the United States to use foreign aid in order to help address crises and quite another for us to become the primary caregiver for the world. No country should build its health care budget based on an expectation that another would pick up the check. It is, if nothing else, irresponsible, given that services to citizens could be cut by the ascent of a new president. No doubt many will point to a story like this and blame Trump--see, you are HURTING people. I read it and wonder how any "leader" could let his country down so much. And if it is a moral imperative that Western countries subsidize every other government in the world, why don't our allies pick up the slack? They are great about trashing us for not paying the freight but walk away when asked to pick up the tab they so desperately want paid by us. It's NATO all over again. The Western Alliance! Except none of the others in the alliance really wants to contribute much. Do I wish it hadn't come to this? Yes. Would I be willing to talk about helping out during a short transition? Perhaps, depending on the conditions in each country. But 75% of all the countries can't run a health care system without foreign aid from the US? That is insane. But go back to the status quo ante? Not on your life. https://hotair.com/david-strom/2025/04/11/this-is-insane-n3801668

Elon Musk’s DOGE discovers millions in taxpayer dollars wasted on unemployment claims for ‘fake people’ by Patrick Reilly Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) revealed in a bombshell finding that millions of dollars in unemployment claims have been going to “fake people” who haven’t even been born yet — some not even in this century. DOGE claimed it reviewed an initial survey of unemployment claims since 2020 that found that 9,700 people whose birth dates aren’t for another 15 years have claimed $69 million in benefits. In one absurd case, a person whose birthday was listed in the year 2154 claimed $41,000, according to an X post by the department. https://nypost.com/2025/04/10/us-news/doge-says-millions-in-taxpayer-dollars-wasted-on-unemployment-claims-for-fake-people/ .

20 minute meeting has long been explained, but keep grasping as you go down.

Pick back up. The POINT is that you cannot keep claiming that all Trump supporters are idiots and fools, when there are a majority of Americans (77 million) who voted for him It is dishonest. Simple. .
