Media Lie About Deported ‘Maryland Father’s’ Legal Status, Downplay His Gang Ties In fact, the only real scandal here is that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was able to stay for as long as he did. by Brianna Lyman The propaganda press is once again distorting the truth — and in some cases, flat out lying — to discredit and undermine President Donald Trump’s deportation efforts. In the latest example, the media are painting an illegal alien — who is allegedly a gang member — as merely a “Maryland father” with “protected legal status” who was “mistakenly” swept up in a mass deportation. On Monday, The Atlantic’s Nick Miroff wrote that the Trump administration “mistakenly” sent a “Maryland father with protected legal status” to a Salvadoran prison due to an “administrative error.” “The case appears to be the first time the Trump administration has admitted to errors when it sent three planeloads of Salvadoran and Venezuelan deportees to El Salvador’s grim ‘Terrorism Confinement Center’ on March 15,” Miroff wrote. He later cited Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s attorney who, in Miroff’s words, “said he’s never seen a case in which the government knowingly deported someone who had already received protected legal status from an immigration judge.” Further down in the article, Miroff clarifies that a judge ordered Abrego Garcia not to be sent back to “his home country” — but that’s very different that having “protected legal status” that would shield Abrego Garcia from deportation entirely. Abrego Garcia illegally crossed the border in 2011 and was “detained in March 2019 and charged with removability.” He was denied bond in 2019 after an immigration judge concluded that evidence “show[ed] [Abrego Garcia] is a verified member of MS-13” and that Abrego Garcia did not prove “that his release from custody would not pose a danger to others.” The judge also found that Abrego Garcia was a flight risk, noting he had a “history of failing to appear for proceedings pertaining to his traffic violations.” As pointed out by Will Chamberlain, senior counsel at the Article 3 Project, the Board of Immigration Appeals dismissed Abrego Garcia’s appeal and “affirmed the immigration judge’s findings on dangerousness.” https://thefederalist.com/2025/04/02/media-lie-about-deported-maryland-fathers-legal-status-downplay-his-gang-ties/

I watch the news and I read. How could you not know how much he has been working. .

Pres. Trump's "Liberation Day" announcement was really excellent. He was a far greater expositor and persuader than usual. 1. He made you realize that the new tariffs are just the logical response to a trade war that other countries started, but we simply brushed off and took our lumps. 2. He made very subtle and clever fun of all the smarter-than-thou pundits who are aghast at tariffs, saying "They do to us; we do it to them. You can't get any simpler than that." I LOLed thinking of the pathetic Scott Lincicome, whom I follow on X only as self-flagellation. 3. He explained the scope of things very clearly. Real countries, real tariff rates. The highlight was him saying that 90,000 factories had been closed in the last 30 years, and he said "Imagine putting a pushpin on a map for every one of those." Excellent visualization. 4. He communicated proper respect to the countries that were going to have to make adjustments. He made it clear that he doesn't blame them--they're doing what they need to do, and the problem has strictly been our own previous inaction. 5. By giving the 1789-1913 history, he gave confidence that tariffs are actually a great source of income, and that we may have lost a lot of our potential by implementing an income tax--a genius way to tie in an eventual income tax change, if tariff revenue is actually that great (which I doubt, but we'll see). 6. He had the most pithy way to take all the Reason/CATO "OMG tariffs!" wonks and throw them into the pit of irrelevance: "If these struggling countries were negatively affected by their own tariffs [like Vietnam's 75% on motorcycles], they'd just take them off, right?" --- Mark Lowenstein .

So filled with hate, and bigotry C3 can't even admit that President Trump works hard. Sad. Even if you disagree with everything he says and does, the fact that you won't admit that he works long hours, 7 days a week so far, says so much about you. None of it surprising of course. .

RFK Calls HHS Layoffs a ‘Win-Win for Taxpayers.’ As the leftist media explodes in frenzy over thousands of layoffs at the Department of Health and Human Services and its exceedingly numerous subsidiary agencies, Trump’s HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says that the firings are a win for taxpayers, especially taxpayers who have suffered from harmful HHS decision-making. Last week, Kennedy announced planned cuts of about 20,000 HHS jobs as he streamlines America’s excessive number of healthcare agencies. After revelations of some of the pure insanity the HHS was funding, from DEI to cross-sex hormones for youth to “gender affirming hormone therapy” for mice, many Americans saw the need for significant change. We all remember the horrors of HHS COVID-19 policies, too. But naturally, the media is going crazy over the layoffs, so Kennedy appealed directly to American taxpayers. In an X post on April 1, Kennedy addressed the hysteria and furor, acknowledging the pain of newly unemployed individuals but explaining the reasons why — to put it in my own words — they should never have been hired to begin with: https://pjmedia.com/catherinesalgado/2025/04/02/rfk-calls-hhs-layoffs-a-win-win-for-taxpayers-n4938523

No. You do not deserve any type of direct response to questions that you have already committed yourself to. Besides that is just a squirrel you are inserting to the Republican self reflection thread

TIRED YET? NOT YET? Look Who’s Folding Under Trump’s Tariff Pressure Ontario Premier Doug Ford expressed confidence that Canada would remove its tariffs on U.S. goods if President Donald Trump ends his trade war. Speaking with CNBC’s Ross Sorkin on Wednesday morning, Ford responded to a question about Canada’s $60 billion in retaliatory tariffs on American imports, suggesting that the ball is in Trump’s court. Ford is currently the chair of Canada’s Council of the Federation of premiers and has participated in bilateral discussions with U.S. officials in the past. However, it should be noted that the tariffs placed on some U.S. goods are ultimately the responsibility of the federal government. “We’d be willing to take those off tomorrow, if he took all the tariffs off. We are not the problem,” Ford said. Last month, the U.S. introduced a global 25 per cent tax on all steel and aluminum imports. Before that, Trump imposed a blanket 25 per cent tariff on all goods from Canada and Mexico, but later exempted items that are compliant under the North American free trade pact, although that exemption is set to expire on Wednesday. Meanwhile, it looks like Mexico is backing down, too. According to Reuters, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum stated on Wednesday that Mexico has no plans to impose retaliatory tariffs on the United States just ahead of President Donald Trump’s expected tariff announcement. https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/04/02/look-whos-folding-under-trumps-tariff-pressure-n4938537 https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/mexico-not-enter-tariff-tit-151856028.html

Surprise! No, nobody—not a single person—should be surprised. You let yourself believe the terrorist liars because you wanted to believe them.

Surprised ?? Anyone ? Innocent California Walgreens Employee Is the Latest Victim of Left's Violent Rhetoric A Walgreens employee was killed by a man emulating UnitedHealthcare CEO murderer Luigi Mangione, because that suspect was mad at big pharmacies. This tragic story out of California is two things: a) completely predictable and b) completely avoidable. This is the inevitable outcome of the Left's rhetoric on healthcare and their view of political violence. If it's okay -- in the Left's logic -- to shoot a health insurance company CEO in the back as he walks down a NYC street, if it's okay to dox Tesla owners and vandalize their vehicles, if it's okay to torch Tesla chargers, then there was no way it wouldn't be okay to murder a random Walgreens employee over political grievances. It's wrong and scary. https://twitchy.com/amy-curtis/2025/04/02/walgreens-employee-killed-by-man-mad-at-big-pharmacies-n2410847

Liberation Day: Trump Was Right About Everything, and That Is What the So-Called Experts Resent the Most By Jennifer Oliver O'Connell President Donald Trump took to the White House Rose Garden to declare "Liberation Day," for America with a plan for reciprocal tariffs with foreign nations and an executive order signing ceremony in front of his cabinet and other assembled guests. Trump gave remarks, which for him were actually brief; but this portion of his speech stood out. In the coming days, there will be complaints from the globalists, and the outsourcers, and special interests, and the Fake News, always the Fake News will always complain. But, never forget, every prediction our opponents made about trade for the last 30 years has been proven totally wrong. They were wrong about NAFTA, they were wrong about China, they were wrong about the Trans Pacific Partnership, which would have been a disaster if I didn't terminate it. If I didn't terminate that, United Autoworkers, you would have had no jobs in this country. You would have had no jobs. It was all going to other countries. In my first term, they said tariffs would crash the economy. Instead, we built the greatest economy in the history of the world. And again, I have great respect for President Xi of China, great respect for China, but they were taking tremendous advantage of us. And, I commend them for that. I say, hey, if you can get away with it, that's okay. But, you know, they understand exactly what's happening and they probably, most of them are saying it's about time they did something. But they're going to fight, they're going fight, everyone going's to fight. I say to the leaders, look you gotta take care of your country, but we have to start taking care of our country now. We can't do what we've been doing for the last 50 years... Trump pretty much outlined what I have observed my entire adult life. America is supposed to be this premiere economic superpower that somehow gets the short end of the stick—or at least our people do, while foreign nations get incentives, aid and things handed to them without giving anything in return. The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is the most well-documented example of this. If Trump's whole tariff policy can be boiled down to one concept, it is: "Not this way. Not any more." Trump is intent on doing things differently, restoring a model that once built the nation, before taxation and a bloated and regulatory-ridden government tore it down. What most of these so-called experts who were the brain trusts behind NAFTA and the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) really feel is not shame at their failure and America's demise, but resentment that Trump is attempting a old/new strategy and in some ways, swinging for the fences, while all they did was sell out America's sweat equity, ingenuity and might, while setting us up for bankruptcy. https://redstate.com/jenniferoo/2025/04/02/liberation-day-trump-was-right-about-everything-and-that-is-what-the-so-called-experts-resent-the-most-n2187431 .

An Economist's Take on Tariffs: They May Be Bad, but Income Taxes Are Worse Ward Clark Walter Edward Block is an economist. He's not just any economist, either; he is a self-professed anarcho-capitalist, which term describes the free-est free traders that ever free traded. He holds the Harold E. Wirth Eminent Scholar Endowed Chair in Economics at the J. A. Butt School of Business at Loyola University/New Orleans, and he is a member of the Faculty Network of the Foundation for Economic Education. So, he has been around the economic block a few times. He's not a fan of tariffs, as you might expect from an anarcho-capitalist after the manner of Ludwig von Mises. But as it happens, he's even less of a fan of the income tax and reckons that tariffs may be the lesser of two evils: ...when it comes to comparative advantage, all too many people are out to lunch insofar as the teachings of Economics 101 are concerned. They fear that other countries might be more efficient than we are; with free trade, they would produce everything, we, nothing, and we would all starve to death from massive unemployment. To dispel this myth, let’s consider a thought experiment. A lawyer is as good a typist as his secretary. He can produce $1,000 per day by practicing his profession. But for every such day, he needs a certain amount of typing. He can produce $200 worth each day. In two days, he can thus earn $1200 on his own. If he hires a typist, he can earn $2,000 from lawyering in two days, but must pay his secretary $200 daily for a total of $400. If he trades with her, he will come out with $2,000-$400=$1,600, an appreciable gain for him. So is there any economic case for tariffs, given the foregoing? Yes, paradoxically, there is—in a way, if the alternative is a tax that’s even worse. {snip} Mr. Block concludes: To put it another way, if we accept that there has to be a government, and it therefore needs some revenue to function, this might be the least-bad option. Should we worry about so many people becoming unemployed? Not at all. A similar sort of thing occurred when the car replaced the horse and buggy, when the cell phone substituted for Kodak, when we switched from typewriters to computers, etc. We are all the richer for this sort of thing, and will be in this case too. https://redstate.com/wardclark/2025/04/02/an-economists-take-on-tariffs-they-may-be-bad-but-income-taxes-are-worse-n2187432

It Sure Seems Like the DNC Chairman Just Incited Violence Against Tesla As the three-month anniversary of the creation of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) approaches, the attacks on Tesla dealerships, charging stations, and car owners disturbingly continue to escalate - so much so that President Donald Trump, the FBI, and the DOJ have all stated that the attacks equate to domestic terrorism. They've gotten so bad, in fact, that FBI Director Kash Patel last week confirmed the existence of an FBI Tesla task force, posting on Twitter/X that "we have taken additional steps to crack down and coordinate our response. This is domestic terrorism. Those responsible will be pursued, caught, and brought to justice." The Trump administration's treating these attacks with the seriousness they deserve has bizarrely triggered Congressional Democrats, including Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY), who strangely suggested in response to the task force news that such actions allegedly constituted a "politicization of the DOJ" and "lawfare." Making matters even worse, Democrats and media figures who have relentlessly (and falsely) accused Trump of inciting a so-called "insurrection" for the apparent crime of urging his supporters to "patriotically and peacefully" protest at the Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021, seem hellbent on encouraging the anti-Tesla violence to continue. https://redstate.com/sister-toldjah/2025/04/02/dnc-chairs-dangerous-anti-tesla-message-n2187433

Here's what Scott Jennings had to say regarding Booker's fake filibuster : It is a feat of longevity. I’m not sure what the point of it is. He didn’t stop any legislation. He didn’t hold up any nominations. He said it was a moral moment. So I guess, you know, as a Republican, I infer that he thinks half the country is immoral. And that kind of messaging to me is exactly what's been plaguing the Democrats for - certainly in the last election and the last several months is this idea, this hatefulness towards your fellow Americans because they chose a different party or voted a different way. And our own Harry Enten reported that Congressional Democrats have a 21 percent approval rating, so in some respects there's nowhere to go but up. And Cory Booker, I think, is trying to fill a vacuum. There's no real leadership nationally in the Democratic Party. Obviously, they don't have any confidence in Schumer, they've had a lot of radical voices out there who are trying to take control of the party. So maybe this was an attempt by him to try to wrest control of at least the spiritual leadership of the national party. I don't know if it will work. https://redstate.com/sister-toldjah/2025/04/01/scott-jennings-puts-the-cory-booker-speech-record-in-perspective-with-some-hard-truths-for-democrats-n2187400
