Trump economic shake-up is a shock to the system— that could pay off big By Glenn H. Reynolds As President Trump rolls out his economic program, there’s one question I haven’t seen asked much: What if it works? Trump’s supporters are rooting for its success. His opponents, out of a mixture of envy and self-interest, hope it craters. But what would actually happen if Trump achieves his aims? The White House hasn’t released a single integrated document spelling out its economic plan. But based on the moves made so far, and comments from Trump’s top economic aides, the outlines of his goals are coming clear. Trump wants to encourage businesses to move manufacturing to the United States, and we have in fact seen quite a few announcements of major new investments since his tariff plans were unveiled. More than 70 countries have already approached the White House to talk about mutual tariff-reduction deals, and Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu zipped to Washington Monday to negotiate one in person. Rolling back illegal immigration will also help boost working-class wages. People claim illegal aliens “do the jobs Americans won’t do,” but it’s more accurate to say they “do the jobs Americans won’t do at absurdly low wages.” Progressives once appreciated this basic fact. https://nypost.com/2025/04/07/opinion/how-trumps-economic-shake-up-could-pay-off-big/

They Cleared HOW MANY Fake Voters Off the Rolls? Stephen Green Five million is a lot of almost anything. Five million zombies could probably kick off the apocalypse. Five million rounds of ammunition would help me sleep better at night, particularly if we get those zombies. There probably isn't much I wouldn't do for five million dollars, except for three things: Become a progressive. Switch to the Klaus Schwab-approved insect diet. Honest work. I'm kidding on that last point. Mostly. But what about five million zombie voters? Imagine the elections they could flip (and almost certainly have). Well, you no longer have to because five million is the number of fake or ineligible voters removed from the rolls by the good folks at Judicial Watch in just the last few years — with a million of them coming from deep-blue New York City alone. Makes you wonder just how indigo their mood truly is. Judicial Watch announced late last week that "its analysis and use of voter registration lists has led to lawsuits and legal actions under the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) that have resulted in the removal of five million names from voter rolls in nearly a dozen states and localities" since 2019. https://pjmedia.com/vodkapundit/2025/04/07/they-cleared-how-many-fake-voters-off-the-rolls-n4938669 https://www.judicialwatch.org/names-cleaned-from-voter-rolls/ .

At a press conference in Brussels, von der Leyen underscored the damaging effects of the current tariffs and made it clear the EU is prepared to negotiate. These tariffs come first and foremost at immense costs for U.S. consumers and businesses, but at the same time, they have a massive impact on the global economy,” she announced. “Especially hard-hit are the developing countries. And this is a major turning point for the United States.” She continued, “Nonetheless, we stand ready to negotiate with the United States. Indeed, we have offered zero-for-zero tariffs for industrial goods, as we have successfully done with many other trading partners. Because Europe is always ready for a good deal, so we keep it on the table.”

Transcript Between Activist Judge Boasberg and DOJ Attorney About Trump Admin 'Defying Him' Is Nuts The more we hear about this Judge Boasberg guy, the more we start to think he may not be all that worried about justice. While we're certainly not experts on these matters, Boasberg's conversation with DOJ Attorney Drew Ensign about the Trump administration sure seems pretty biased, angry, and even a little activist-y https://twitchy.com/samj/2025/04/07/ensign-boasberg-exchange-n2411053 -

The Penguins Will Be Alright—Turns Out There's Good Reason We're Putting Tariffs on Unoccupied Islands By Bob Hoge FTA: One of the main points they’ve been using to mock the president is that the administration is enacting tariffs on remote islands that have no residents. Leftists were quick to pounce I admit it, when I first saw that news, I was a bit perplexed myself. It turns out that they’re not a boneheaded error, however, and according to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, there’s a reason for them. Appearing on CBS News’ “Face the Nation” with Margaret Brennan Sunday, he explained that they purposefully included those areas to close loopholes. https://redstate.com/bobhoge/2025/04/06/the-penguins-will-be-okturns-out-theres-good-reason-were-putting-tariffs-on-unoccupied-islands-n2187565

Fake News Just Caused One of the Most Insane Turns in the Stock Market in Modern History One of the craziest turns in the stock market in modern history occurred Monday morning, and it was all based on fake news. Before the opening, futures showed another bad day for stocks on the horizon, with all three major markets bracing for another large drop. That initially happened, but then a claim about what Kevin Hassett, one of President Donald Trump's top economic advisors, said went viral. Everyone from CNBC to Reuters blared headlines proclaiming a "90-day pause" on tariffs was being considered in light of countries offering to enter into negotiations. That sent stocks flying, with the Nasdaq and S&P 500 (where most 401s are heavily invested) at or above three percent gains. There was just one problem: The report was false. The White House's rapid response account gave an unequivocal rebuttal, seemingly ending the idea that any such agreement was under consideration. https://redstate.com/bonchie/2025/04/07/fake-news-just-caused-one-of-the-most-insane-turns-in-the-stock-market-in-modern-history-n2187576 Claiming "Yeah well" is the equivalent of yes. . . . . . . . . . . just amazing .

French Business Leaders Reject President Macron’s Demand to Divest from USA April 6, 2025 According to French media, quoting multiple corporate leaders and company directors throughout France , the leadership of France’s biggest companies told Macron to ‘get stuffed’ following the French president’s demand to divest their interests from America. President Macron ordered 50 of the largest companies with positions in the USA to attend an emergency economic meeting at Elysée Palace. As reported by French media, “Some of us fell out of our chairs,” confided one of the 50 or so French business leaders invited.” “We are not in an administered economy,” thunders the leader of an employers’ movement. And the CEO of a CAC 40 giant bluntly asserts: “I don’t give a damn about what Macron says. We have operations in the United States. There is no question of abandoning them just like that. We must respect our commitments to our employees, our customers and our shareholders. The American consumer market is the most valuable consumer market in the world. We do not have the largest population; however, we do have the largest population with the ability to purchase things. It is the ability to buy stuff that makes access to the U.S. market the golden ticket for foreign company sales and profit. https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/04/06/french-business-leaders-reject-president-macrons-demand-to-divest-from-usa/ https://www.lefigaro.fr/conjoncture/ce-que-dit-macron-je-n-en-ai-rien-a-cirer-ces-grands-patrons-francais-ulceres-par-l-appel-a-cesser-d-investir-aux-etats-unis-20250404

Marco Rubio. . . . . Secretary of State
B-Man replied to B-Man's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
No more playing around. US revokes all South Sudan visas, bars future issuance until deportees accepted by Alexandra Koch Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Saturday announced the U.S. will revoke visas held by South Sudanese passport holders and no others will be issued, effective immediately. Rubio attributed the change to "the failure of South Sudan's transitional government to accept the return of its repatriated citizens in a timely manner," according to a statement posted on X. The U.S. Department of State on Saturday wrote in a statement that it is time for the transitional government of South Sudan to "stop taking advantage" of the U.S. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/us-revokes-south-sudan-visas-bars-future-issuance-until-deportees-accepted -
Ford Teams Up With Trump Admin to Drive Down Car Prices and Boost U.S. Jobs by Sarah Arnold Ford is working closely with the Trump administration to streamline its car production and delivery processes, especially as the company faces challenges with the president’s tariffs. Ford CEO Jim Hackett recently pointed out that while tariffs offer the company a "better chance" at increased manufacturing flexibility, critical details regarding parts supply and production still need to be ironed out. This collaboration between the auto giant and the administration highlights the growing impact of trade policies on the automotive industry and the push to bring more vehicles to American consumers. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/saraharnold/2025/04/05/how-ford-is-working-with-the-trump-admin-to-bring-cars-to-consumers-n2655050
