ParticipantWhile everybody is cheering on the changes Trump is making, make no mistake he is consolidating more agencies under his executive control.
While no doubt many changes are badly overdue, imagine what a future Obama or Biden could do with the final product of Trump’scurrent changes.

5 plus years of insane concensus reality amounting to psychological torture.– Cvd vax did not provide viral immunity or stop transmission spreading- it was, however, effective at illiciting immunity to truthfulness while completely breaking the social contract.
– Social media has birthed un-social interactions with vitriol.

Whatever your views, they have shed light on censuring, freedom of speech, DEI wokeism insanity and many other societal ills. Are you perfect and infallible? I am not. Check your mirror.– Change

Hakeem Jeffries DNC and his “Fight in the Streets” rhetoric:
F’n hypocrite. Not an honorable Man at all.We’ll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgment of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the songChange, it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the fold, that’s all
And the world looks just the same
And history ain’t changed
‘Cause the banners, they all flown in the last warI’ll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half-alive
I’ll get all my papers and smile at the sky
For I know that the hypnotized never lie
Do you?There’s nothing in the street
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are effaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Is now the parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnightI’ll tip my hat to the new Constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I’ll get on my knees and pray

To make young Americans getting killed in Iran palatable after an blatant false flag like 9/11 or 10/7. 2. To pull the plug on their Babylonian, Fed 112 year old ponzi scheme. 3.

Fact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump Orders Plan for a United States Sovereign Wealth Fund
February 3, 2025
DELIVERING A PLAN TO CREATE A UNITED STATES SOVEREIGN WEALTH FUND: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order calling for the creation of a Sovereign Wealth Fund.The Executive Order directs the Secretary of the Treasury and the Secretary of Commerce to deliver a plan within 90 days for the creation of a sovereign wealth fund.
The Secretary of the Treasury and the Secretary of Commerce will work closely with the Director of the Office of Management and Budget and the Assistant to the President for Economic Policy to develop the plan.
The Order directs the Secretary to include in the plan recommendations for funding mechanisms, investment strategies, fund structure, and a governance model.
ENSURING LONG-TERM ECONOMIC COMPETITIVENESS AND FISCAL SUSTAINABILITY: The creation of a sovereign wealth fund for the United States will help maximize the stewardship of our national wealth.Sovereign wealth funds exist around the world as mechanisms to amplify the financial return to a nation’s assets and leverage those returns for strategic benefit and goals.
The United States can leverage such returns to promote fiscal sustainability, lessen the burden of taxes on American families and small businesses, establish long-term economic security, and promote U.S. economic and strategic leadership internationally.
The United States already holds a vast sum of highly valued assets that can be invested through a sovereign wealth fund for greater long-term wealth generation.
The Federal government directly holds $5.7 trillion in assets. Indirectly, including through natural resource reserves, the Federal government holds a far larger sum of asset value.
PURSUING NATIONAL ENDEAVORS AND MAGNIFYING ECONOMIC GROWTH: President Trump has called for the creation of a sovereign wealth fund “to invest in great national endeavors for the benefit of all of the American people.”President Trump’s economic policies—including the pursuit of fair and balanced trade, national energy dominance, and tax and regulatory relief to spur robust economic growth—will result in greater wealth and revenue streams that a sovereign wealth fund can maximize the potential of.
Sovereign wealth funds are maintained by a diverse array of countries leveraging equally varied classes of national assets. President Trump has called for a sovereign wealth fund to ensure the United States can lead the way in long-term wealth generation.
The United Kingdom recently announced their own plans to pursue development of such a fund.
In addition to countries around the world maintaining their own funds, 23 states within our own country maintain their own funds that control in total $332 billion in assets.February 4, 2025 at 12:49 am #181239zerosum
ParticipantProgress on the Situation at Our Northern Border
EXECUTIVE ORDER
February 3, 2025
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2483), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, it is hereby ordered:Section 1. Background. On February 1, 2025, I determined that the failure of Canada to arrest, seize, detain, or otherwise intercept drug trafficking organizations, other drug and human traffickers, criminals at large, and illicit drugs constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat, which has its source in substantial part outside the United States, to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States. To address that threat, I invoked my authority under section 1702(a)(1)(B) of IEEPA to impose ad valorem tariffs on articles that are products of Canada.
Sec. 2. Immediate Steps. Pursuant to section 3 of my Executive Order of February 1, 2025, titled “Imposing Duties to Address the Situation at Our Northern Border” (“the Executive Order of February 1, 2025”), I have determined that the Government of Canada has taken immediate steps designed to alleviate the illegal migration and illicit drug crisis through cooperative actions. Further time is needed, however, to assess whether these steps constitute sufficient action to alleviate the crisis and resolve the unusual and extraordinary threat beyond our northern border.
Sec. 3. Pause. (a) In recognition of the steps taken by the Government of Canada, and in order to assess whether the threat described in section 1 of this order has abated, the additional 25 percent ad valorem rates of duty, and 10 percent ad valorem rates of duty as to energy products, shall be paused and will not take effect until March 4, 2025, at 12:01 a.m. eastern time. Accordingly, section 2(a), section 2(b), section 2(e), and section 2(f) of the Executive Order of February 1, 2025, are amended by striking the term “February 4, 2025,” where it appears in those sections and inserting in lieu thereof the term “March 4, 2025.” The exceptions set forth in section 2(a) and section 2(b) of the Executive Order of February 1, 2025, related to covered goods loaded onto a vessel at a port of entry or in transit on the final mode of transport prior to entry into the United States are, hereby, withdrawn.
(b) During this pause, the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, and the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security shall continue to assess the situation at our northern border, as provided in section 3 of the Executive Order of February 1, 2025.
(c) If the illegal migration and illicit drug crises worsen, and if the Government of Canada fails to take sufficient steps to alleviate these crises, the President shall take necessary steps to address the situation, including by immediate implementation of the tariffs described in the Executive Order of February 1, 2025.Sec. 4. Severability. If any provision of this order, or the application of any provision to any person or circumstance, is held to be invalid, the remainder of this order and the application of its provisions to any other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby.
Sec. 5. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or
(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.
(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.February 4, 2025 at 1:38 am #181240jb-hb

We have to stop the fentanyl coming from outside the country to cut off the funding to the people toppling other peoples’ governments and twisting domestic elections and foreign policy in such a way that “Americans” keep interfering with them.
So tariffs and other “aggression” to stop the fentanyl IS working towards leaving everyone alone. Closing off the border to stop human trafficking, same. Have to cut off the funding. of “Americans”

Indeed. USAid is a nothing burger, but it employs a load od hard-core Democrats, so this is obviously the schoolboy in Musk and Trump beating up the people they don’t like; not the unity ticket, but they never declared that ticket, only the Jew ticket.
Good to see they are keeping the Jews happy, sending weapons, donating weapons, offering anything to keep the Rothschild Israel project doing good. Also note that Trump is not hitting on Zelensky the Jew, the Orange Jew likes to stick together with his other dodgy Jews. What with ISIS also apologising for hitting on the Jews, it looks like the Jews are in charge and the Orange Jew is the front man; I always suspected that Musk was a Jew creation, look into his history and you realise he is a nothing burger, so he is playing a role, fair enough. We all know the rich Jews don;t like to be seen doing their own dirty work.
As for entertainment, it is tedious, it is hitting on easy, weak targets, it is avoiding the real fights, it looks cowardly and weak. But, if trashing the security clearance of TV pundits and other wankers gets you going, then sure, enjoy. But it is just bullying, not that Trump is alone in that, the Democrats were just as bad.
Tarrifs are the interesting policy, mostly because they will introduce inflation and yet are being cheered on by the weakest financially. People are ridiculous, democracy really should be held down and shot so that the morons have no more say in how these powerful countries are run.

Participant@CelticBiker I see you are keeping your eye on the ball, not letting the current bull-in-a-china-shop leadership style distract you. Eventually the bull will tire, or will run out of easy things to break, at which point we can enjoy some relative peace, unlike the Rothchild prisoners in Gaza.

ParticipantLooks like all of Trump’s adversaries have sussed him out; he has a short attention span, so give him what he wants now, he will soon lose interest and move on to something else, at which time the adversaries back-pedal whatever actions they did to appease Trump. Dealing with an ADHD POTUS. Of course, it all gives Trump ego points, so he his happy, thinking he is tough, but he has a short attention span, he doesn’t really know what is happening.
