  1. Too late: They uploaded it to xAI through Starlink Russia has compromised Starlink and stole all the data as soon as it was uploaded Watch for an uptick in: identity theft contacts by foreign intelligence services with compromising information more targeted ads from big tech using your personally identifiable information and financial records
  2. We're going back to the barter system. I'll trade you this cigar for that roll of toilet paper.
  3. Not an expert but it is basically the Temu model. 1. Pick a product made in China that you can list on Amazon. Maybe you make a subtle design change to it, maybe it is a ripoff of something else that has brand recognition like these shoes I just got, similar to Sketchers. 2. Set up a digital storefront 3. Arrange for the in country exporter to label items for customer delivery in the US and ship them as if they were bought directly from the factory or exporter. (Ignore the US Middleman's storefront) 4. Items get around the bulk freight import tariffs based on the de minimis exemption
  4. The penguins won't forget who started this.
  5. I'll allow it but the point I was making is that the Lawyer sex trafficking ring has spread from Highland Park to Washington DC. I think the whole Madison Cawthorn orgy and coke thing was an early warning sign, only his wife was a Fitness Trainer.
  6. Don't know if this was posted here yet but I like the push back on this.
  7. Whoa, catching up on this. Sounds like the IP lawyer from the Park cities that went insane and accused people of sex trafficking her in the lawyer community.
  8. Twas but a scratch, not a direct hit but maybe a fragment hit him. So courageous, much more courage than the suckers and losers I spoke about in my last post.
  9. It's next to the place they bury all the losers and suckers, not many people know but it was Robert E Lee's old house, a great General, some say General Lee, or Generally. What a beautiful piece of real estate. We should put up some more confederate statues there. HERITAGE! I think we could redevelop that and make it a destination resort for all the international guests to come visit me and pay tribute. We'll use $TRUMP coins as the keys. Put the coin in the slot and the door opens for you, just like magic. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Thank you for your attention to this matter.
  10. This is promising. Looks like the Roman Catholic Church is poised to stand up against heresy. The New Pope, Leo XIV a while back.
  11. This is a really insightful video and it shows the project 2025 playbook to: Devalue the dollar because the financial services industry is like an oversized parasite on our diminishing manufacturing industry and we're at an inflection point. The goal is to bring in investment from Germany, Japan and Taiwan into the US Focus on our remaining strategic advantages like Big Tech (not mentioned were defense, large aircraft, space, etc.) Reshoring will come but not with jobs due to automation. Example was the MacBook assembly line in Austin being fully automated. We'll see deregulation of industries that will actually negatively impact jobs like self driving cars, drone or autonomous vehicle deliveries Trump's double barrel shotgun has two barrels Tariffs - fired and reshaping the global markets with higher import tariffs here to stay. The Huge numbers are to have something to negotiate down from (Say 25% down to 10%) but that the tariffs will stay in place on all imports. Tax reduction - Still in the barrel and it will be for the richest, industry based to incentivize factories and prop up real estate values. Trump will sell out the working class in favor of the Real Estate class Average workers will be hurt by this.
  12. What were the import tariffs on good from UK before the deal (December 2024) and what are they after the deal? (Hint: they are higher in many cases) https://www.investors.com/news/economy/us-uk-trade-deal-trump-tariffs-reciprocal-digital-services-sp-500-amzn-googl-meta/ So we go from 0-10% import tariff across the board (Exceptions available to meme coin holders), 25% import tariff cars and auto parts (EBC Brake pads?) and UK reduces the services tax on digital services companies. So not manufacturing? I thought that was the whole purpose to get our manufacturing exports up. Oh there are some airliners or parts in the deal? Un-named airline is buying some Boeing jets. Doesn't sound like a long term trade deal, sounds like a one time purchase order that is not part of a strategic deal. Why are we focused so tactically? Is Trump going to claim credit for every international purchase order? So we (Consumers) are going to pay more for everything. This is the model for future deals. We will pay more.
  13. Did he get one of these for Christmas? He can sell 2 dolls.
  14. Reminds me of the story of man cast adrift on the ocean. He prays, "God, Please save me." A boat sails by and the captain asks if he needs help and the man says, "No God will save me". So the boat sails off. He prays harder and two more times boats come up and he rejects the offers for food, water or to be picked up because his faith that God will save him. Predictably he dies and when he gets to heaven he asks God, "Why didn't you save me?". God replies, "What do you mean I sent three boats!"
  15. And they deal with the carbon based fuel industry? Like mining coal and drilling for oil.
  16. I would love to see a campaign of when people complain about a policy that you just post a video of Trump campaigning on the that policy. My baby daddy is getting extradited deported = video of trump promising to deport all illegals My student loans are going to garnish my wages = video of Trump promising to cancel all debt relief programs Prices are going up = video of tariffs, isn't that a beautiful word, some people say the most beautiful word, and we (Billionaires) won't pay any taxes, the working class will pay all the taxes to the external revenue service to fund the billionaire tax cuts
  17. Miller has made the Homeland Security Council run "like clockwork," and that it's "infinitely more effective than the NSC [National Security Council] with a tiny fraction" of the staff. You know who else had things like trains, prisons and ovens running like clockwork?
  18. Yes, I lost the thread. My numbers are for normal sized cars with a roof. I didn't know we were talking about cars for ants.
  19. Putting the Jobs report in context: https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/02/jobs-report-april-2025.html I interpret these factors as the quiet before the storm: Too early to measure "Liberation Day" impact Think of the dock workers and truck drivers that were working on the accelerated imports in Q1 that are not going to be working in the next report due to tariffs As prices rise and shelves empty stores, small businesses, fulfillment warehouses and delivery drivers will be impacted Most of the federal employees impacted by DOGE are still on the payroll as part of their severance and not counted but the clock is counting down If they get new jobs in in the transition period they might actually be counted twice, inflating numbers It came in at 44K jobs above the 133,000 estimate This is a down trend from the March revised numbers so down to begin with March was adjusted down by 43,000 so a similar adjustment for April would wipe out the "defying expectations" to a "met predicted"
  20. Why would the timeline matter when they will just engineer an xAI prompt to write the outcome they want based on quotes from Jenny McCarthy, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Alex Jones and Robert F Kennedy Jr. It will not be a serious study when the people in charge have determined the outcome ahead of time.
  21. If no metal body work is needed and it's a prime, block, prime, paint, clear, buff job probably close to 20K. Body work, removing trim, assembly, etc. takes it up from there.
